TAe Boastert
Vain boasters all—since time began
And e'en till time be done—
Self-glorified, complacent man
Vaunts of his victories won.
Prates of courageous rendezvous
With death on crimson field—
And deeds of valor, glory, too—
That gun and sabres yield;
The flag above tfnd comrades nigh—
The hand's proud, stirring air—
So flames the blood that man can die
Nor dread—nor doubt—nor care;
Down to the gates of death they ride
The sparks of courage sown.
Panned to a blase and In their pride
They olalm It all their own.
For every man that trods the earth—
Since time or place Is known—
The woman’s soul that gave him birth
Went to the gates—alone;
No comrades she to do a share—
No streaming flag to save—
No crashing strain of fervent air—
No colors rippling wave;
Apart, with courage never known
By braggart man, goes she—
And fights the fight of love alone
For immortality;
Vain boastors all—In man's estate
No courage half so true
As hers—whose love leads to the gate—
And oftlmes on—and through.
—Kansas City Times.
Church and Castle Go
Far Back Into History
The great bell in the church of
Tong, Knglund, weighs 4,800 pounds,
nnd the church itself has a wonder
ful history. The church and castle
have grown hoary together. The lat
ter is said to have been the seat ofc
lienglst the Saxon, whom Vortigern
called in to his assistance, and hav
ing been successful in his warlike en
gagements, he afterward begged of
Vortigern as much land as an ox
hide would cover or enclose. On his
request being granted, he cut the hide
into strips and had as much land as
it encompassed. Whereupon he built
the castle. Burke says it afterward
came Into the possession of the Pem
brugges, and subsequently the Ver
nons, by marriage of William Vernon
of Haddon; it passed into the hands
of the Stanleys. It at one time be
longed to the last duke of Kington.
In the church there are tombs of
some of the knights of the manor of
Tong. Among them are the Vernons,
and It was Sir Henry Vernon who had
the great bell placed in the belfry. He
also gave u rent out of his manor of
Norton for tolling It when any Vernon
came to town, probably Shlffnall or
Newport (Salop), and It would be
hcafd at the White Ladies at Bosco
; bell.
His Next Choice
Gap Johnson of Ilumpus Ridge,
growing tired of riding horseback the
other day, dismounted nnd took his
place In the bnck of Gabe Glggery’s
wagon, which was proceeding toward
town. Gabo possessed a vial, and he
and Gap presently got into an argu
ment which ere long waxed clamor
ous. Finally Gap yelled a contention,
and his horse Jerked back and dragged
him out of the wagon. This occurred
three or four times.
“Say, looky—hie—yur. contaminate
it!" lie yelled after the fourth fall. “If
you don’t—hie—know how to drive
any — by-gosh — better'n that I’m
dummed if I wouldn’t just about as—
hie—soon walk!"—Kansas City Star.
Seaweed as Food
Japan appears to be the only coun
try where seaweed Is cultivated for
human consumption as cereals nnd
vegetables are cultivated In other
parts of the world, suys London Tit
Bits.
It is said that some years ago, when
portions of the coast were found to
be denuded of marine vegetation, the
Japanese government took the matter
in hand and planted the devastated
regions with suitable varieties, main
ly red laver.
A crop of this in good years is
worth as much us £35 an acre. Still
more profitable for seaweed farmers
Is agaragar, which Japan exports in
large quantities for the- manufacture
of Isinglass.

Mexicans Use Maguey
Plant to Obtain Ice
Durango City, capita! of tiie state of
the same name in Mexico, which hovers
on tiie border line of the Torr'd
zone, provides Itself with one of the
most peculiarly manufactured ice sup
plies in tiie world. When the maguey,
or century plant, has had tiie seven
years’ growth necessary to bloom and
its bud has been tapped for pulque,
in most places It is destroyed. At
Durango, however, all the plants arc
assembled in one place, where the
leaves are laid out with the cupping
surfaces upward on the ground.
Into each leaf is poured about two
quarts of water. Although the tem
perature is not low enough to freeze
water in tiie canals or when it is
placed In some domestic utensil, It doc
freeze in the maguey leaves. The ice
is gathered in the early morning nn<!
put into the ice houses, built of adobe
about 20 feet square and 20 feet deep.
The ice is thrown in through on open
ing In the roof and the' slivers mol i
together, forming a solid mass. Later
It is cut out and delivered to the
housewives.—Grit.
Bees in Odd Hive
The school clock tower at Michehle
ver Hants, England, is for some reason
a favorite dwelling place for bees. For
I at least 30 years swarms of bees have
made the tower their home, and al
though from time to time they have
been killed, the place carefully disin
fected, nnd the hole they have made in
the clock face filled with cement, a
fresh swarm 1ms always come every
year and eaten through the cement to
(he old spot. Last year, they swarmed
on tiie window of the house opposite,
and made their way Inside the wall
through some otd woodwork. They
were removed in the autumn, nnd this
place also was cemented, but a new
lot of bees have arrived and taken up
the same position as the old ones. A
bucketful of honey was taken from the
house wall, and the honey found in tiie
clock tower the last time it was cleared
amounted to some hundredweights.
Before and After
An Irvington hoy came home from
school the first day of tiie term, re
joicing because he had been assigned
to tiie room of his favorite teacher, a
young woman who had been married
during tiie summer vacation.
A few days later lie had changed
Ids mind completely nnd wished for
another teacher.
"What's the matter?” naked his
mother. “I thought she was the one
you liked so well,”
“She was,” the boy said, "hut she
must have got an awful husband be
cause she’s as cross as a bear now.”—

Digging in Bill’s
Garden
B.r CLARISSA MACKIE
.-.— . ...
(Copyright.)
TIE winter old Mrs. Fair had the
pneumonia and never recovered.
Bill Fair’s ship was in port, so that
he could come home and gladden his
mother’s last hours. When It was all
over Bill, almost broken-hearted over
the loss, and with no near relatives to
share his sorrow, though all of Sen
port sympathized with the fine young
captain, locked the house up and sailed
on his longest voyage to the Far East.
January, February and March
passed, and on the first of April came
visible spring.
“Henrietta Morton," said her moth
er severely, “what you been doing
over to Bill Fair’s yard?’’
“Why, who told you I had been
there?”
“Mrs. Beazley Uvea next door—
Isn’t it perfectly natural for her to
notice you traipsing around Bill’s
front yard, digging around? I re
peat, what have you been doing over
there?”
Henrietta sighed. “Just poking
around the plants, mother. I hate to
see them dying with no one to care
for them."
“Humph!” sniffed Mrs. Morton, who
as a flower lover herself could under
stand her daughter’s feelings. “Of
course after you’ve been teaching
school all day you can't feel much
like digging garden!”
“It is a change of work. Of course
1 have not neglected our own garden.”
“No, you haven’t—but, dear, the
neighbors will be talking—they’ll be
telling that you’re trying to attract
Bill's attention. You know now that
his mother’s gone the house is his
and the garden, and you’d feel foolish
If he came home with some wife and
found you’d been making his garden."
“She would be delighted, I’m sure,”
said Henrietta coolly, “and as for
folks talking about us, you know Bill
Fair Is ten years older than I am.
His mother was so loving about the
flowers, always giving me a bunch
when I passed by, that I couldn’t bear
to have them die out. It would make
the place so dreary for Bill when he
comes home.”
Laura Morton laughed good-natured
ly. “I thought you didn’t even know
Bill Fair, Hen,” she uttered. “Did he
aver come to see you?”
"Not exactly,” stammered Henrietta,
and walked away very ruflled in her
feelings toward her sister. She had
noticed Bill Fair’s heartbroken glance
at the little garden as he locked the
house and went away; she was on her
way to school and she was aware that
he didn’t even recognize her, so few
were his visits to Seaport, but she did
realize that he would never see his
mother pottering about the tiny front
ynrd that always seemed overflowing
with bloom from April until Novem
ber. She did not want him to know
who had tended the garden, but wunt
ed the garden just to be ready to bloom
for him.
Capt. Bill Fair came home late
in June. Oil the train from the city
he found an old acquaintance in Lem
Beazley. Lem Was full of Seaport
news, but the captain was only slight
ly Interested. He was dreading the
moment when he had to walk up the
path to that locked door and view the
neglected garden.
“S’pose you’ll be getting married
pretty soon?” snickered Lem. “I see
your best girl’s keepin’ the home fires
burn in’.”
Captain Bill stared. “Yes?" and im
mediately changed ttie subject.
But Mr. Beazley was persistent.
“Henrietta Morton certainly is a nice
girl,” he offered generously.
“Yes?” queried Bill, and he went
back Into the smoker again. “Now I
wonder what he’s driving at?” mused
the simple sailor man. “Seems I do
remember a Morton girl—away back
five years ago—I was a shy fish in
those days—It was at a box social at
the church, and they auctioned off
boxes of lunch, and I happened to buy
the one she put up and we ate It to
gether! She was a little dark thing
with big eyes and a dandy smile. We
sat together all the evening, and she
got real lively and pretty. I saw tier
home—and never thought of her
again!’’
Approaching the front uoor was not
the trinl he had anticipated. Although
the house was closely shuttered, the
little front gnrden was spilling in fra
grant bloom everywhere; roses, ml
gonette, sweet alyssum, pansies and
mountain daisies, ribbon grassy fever
few, dusty miller, nasturtiums, sweet
peas, marigolds, pinks—and last of all
forget-me-nots, a great clump that flour
ished In a deep corner. Tears came
into his fine eyes, and he blinked them
back and opened the door. When he
came out again the windows were all
wide open to the fresh evening breeze.
He stopped in the garden and picked
a great bunch of flowers, and some
thing from every plant, tying the
whole with a blade- of ribbon grass.
Then he went up the street and turned
into the Morton’s gate.
“Henrietta home?” called Bill’s big
voice cheerily, and Mrs. Morton greet
ed him with motherly warmth and
made him stay for supper. “These
are for Henrietta,” he explained, with
a little thrill at the thought.
Old Mrs. Beazley nodded her head
at her husband. “Captain Bill’s courtin’
Henrietta Morton,” she declared ex
citedly.
And although Bill Fair didn't realize
it, Mrs. Beazley was right.
Nowadays Henrietta makes the gar-.
den every spring, and no one says a
word, for she belongs to It.
Various Kinds of Soul
Hair seal Is the term applied to ani
mals of the seadog family. It Is found
In extra tropical portions 6f the sen,
along temperate and colder portions of
the globe. Osly the variety known ns
Greenland seal Is of significance to the
fur trade. The two-months-old cub of
the Greenland seal has a skin used in
the trade, and is known as white coni
seal. According to age this animal
passes Into grades known as small spot
seal, meddling spot seal (two years
old). Later It becomes spot seal, and,
when finally full colored, harp seal.
Old-Time Delicacy
•The following is a recipe for old
fashioned hominy, which was recently
published In a farm paper: In three
quarts of water dissolve one table
spoonful of lye. Shell a quantity of
g»«d corn, put It In the kettle of lye
and boll until the hulls are removed.
Pour off the lye, wash and rewash, and
boil In clean water. Pour off the wa
ter several times and supply fresh.
This is much the same as the hulled
corn of thte New England states, which
is eaten with sweet milk, but which
may be served stewed with gravy.
Patriotic Organization
Tlse Army and Navy Union of the
United States was organized on March
31, 1888. Peter Laclier of Cincinnati,
Ohio, on February 5,-1888, received tin
response and co-operation of 80 men,
through a notice in the press. On that
date a temporary organization was
formed and adjourned to meet later in
the month, February 19, when a jeer
manent organization was effected and !
-styled ns “The Regular Soldiers’
Union.”
