A TfilStV f ? TO THE 8H EAVES.
All Otr thffreapersoa the hill
Hay plica their tak with Ktardy will,
fiat now the field Is void mid still:
And, wandering thither, I Lave found
The bearded speura In sheaves well bound,
ad stacked in many a golden mound.
And while cool evening suavely icrows.
And o'er the sunset's dyinic rone
The first great white star tbrnhsaud glows.
And from the clear east, red of glare.
The ascendant harvest ruoon floats fair
Through dreamy deeps and purple air.
And to among I he slanted sheaves
A tender liht its glamour weaves,
A lovely litfbt that lures, deceives
Then swayed by Fancy's dear cooimand.
Amid the pant 1 seem to stand.
In hallowed Bethlehem's harvest landl
And through the dim field, vague dencritvl.
A homeward h.st of shadows glide.
And sickles gleam on every side.
Fhadowsof man and maid I trace.
With shapes of strength and Hbax-s of
grace.
Yet gaze but on a single face
A candid brow, still smooth with youth.
A tranquil smile; a mien of truth
The patient, slareyed gleaner, Ituth!

Tom Craig's Wonderful Pif.
Onr friend, Jacob Stuff, semis us the
following, ami assures us that it is a yen
nine article:
"The owners of fox dogs in Harrison
county have all been telling about their
fine dogs ami their achievements; but
Captain Tom Craig now cornea to the
front with a story of a pig that discounts
all the dog yarns that the fox dog own
ers have been spinning. Captain Craig,
being accosted with this scribe's usual
salutation 'tell tne something' said: 'I
have a fox dog that I want to tell you
about. He is of the "root-hog-or-die"
species, and is about 3 months old, and
was a present to my little boy from my
neighbor, Henry Stevens. He is a com
mon looking speckled pig, and has been
raised a pet with the puppies. He eats
and sleeps with them, and when 1 go
hunting he goes too, and will stay out
with us three hours at a time.
" 'It would amuse you to see him cir
cling to come in and head the dogs when
they get to far ahead of him. Of course
he cannot keep up with them when they
are running fast. The other night we
were out hunting and the pig got be
hind, but he cut in and soon caught us,
and was with us at the tree. 1 would
have paid a good price fVa picture of
the scene at this tree. Ae dogs laid
down, one of them drawing a bed of
leaves around him. The pig went and
laid down with him, putting his head on
the dog's forefeet, which were crossed.' "

A Preparation for the Bath.
Those who are troubled with offensive
perspiration would do well when talking
a bath to use a preparation made as fol
lows: Take of soap powder and powdered
borax each one-half ounce; essence of
bergamot, six drams; oil of lemon and
oil of neroli, of each two drams; oil of
rosemary, thirty drops; attar of roses,
five drops.
Or, if this is too expensive, the drug
gist can use the soap and borax and sub
stitute cheaper perfumes. The oils should
be well rubbed with these bases in a
mortar and put into a bottle, which
should be kept corked and in a cool place.
One-half to one tablespoonful may be
added to an ordinary bathtub full of
water. This will be sufficient for clean
liness; at the same time it will prove an
admirable deodorizer. Boston Herald.
Spiders' Perseverance Not Appreciated.
Ever since the story of Robert Bruce
and the spider that insect has been pro
verbially held up to view as an example
of pertinacious skill. An attempt to
establish instinct as a guide to reason is,
however, a fallacy. The setting hen is
an example of instinct, not maternal
constancy.' This perseverance of spiders
may have been an encouragement to
Robert Bruce, but it is often a discour
agement in engineering work. In sink
ing plumb lines down shafts for middle
headings in tunneling in order to obtain
an alignment for the tunnel, the accuracy
of the work is often seriously impaired
by spiders attaching their webs to the
lines and drawing them toward the
walls, often with sufficient tension to in
troduce material errors in the position of
the plumb bobs. Cor. Engineering
flood Machines and Poor Workmes.
It does not pay to fit up a shop with
poor machinery if you want good work,
nor do you want to put bad workmen in
charge of your expensive tools. You are
doing things by halves, introducing a
bull into your china shop, and playing
wkh fire in a manner that is certain to
result in burned fingers. Good machines
will never do good work in the hands of
poor mechanics, and although a good
workman will often do wonders with
the poorest of tools, the combination is
not economical, and is usually unsatis
factory to employer and employed. Good
tools operated by competent mechanics
last longest, do the best work, produce
in every way the most satisfactory re
sults, and are always cheapest in the
Jong run. Safety Valve.
The inquiry among French authors as
to the relative value of the eal and
ideal in fiction called forth the following
from a lady: "In order to charm and at
tract me a novel should be sentimental,
impassioned, graceful, elegant, full of il
lusions and not the simple photograph
f my ordinary existence, which weighs
me down on account of its vulgarity and
commonplace, which follows me every
where, which I know too well and which
I would like to forget."
During the ten years ended with 1890
the country received more than 829,000
Italians. In the last year of the ten the
Italians constituted almost one-eighth of
the total immigration. About the same
Jraction of the whole was made up of
.Russian Jews and Poles.

like a close-fitting costume suitable for
any occasion.
The entire lining and the outside of
the back are cut by a plain princess pat
tern. (Fig. 1.) The lining fastens in
front with a smooth cord laced over
small. Hat buttons on each side befrow
the bust. The front of the straight
skirt falls in loose folds from three forward-turning
plaits on eaeli side, the
middle plait on the left side cover
ing a placket opening (which is
kept from parting by two small
safety-hooks aud worked loops), and
the bottom is finished with a ruffle
gathered to form a self-heading. The
gunnpe is gath

shoulders and
neck and brought
down in soft
folds beneath the
corslet portions
which extend
only to the un

These corslet
fronts are cut by

tons on each side and a silk lacing cord.
Uy tightening or loosening the fronts,
by means of the cords, the dress may be
made to vary several inches in size, and
yet be always neat and in order; and it
takes but a moment or two to make the
change. A full puff, cut so as to rise
high above the shoulders, covers each
coat sleeve from the top to the elbow.
In the model (Fig. 2) the corslet
matches the dress proper, which is of
tan sateen with scattered moon spots of
castor-brovv ji, wfr"le the guimpe and
lower sleeve portions are of plain tan
finished with collar and cuffs of castor
brown velvet laeed with cords and but

lines both edges of the corslet. A vel

A CONVENIENT GIFT.
t.nvelope for Carrying Money and Impor
tant Documents.
When a dear friend is contemplating
a trip abroad, a useful gift for her is a
chamois envelope for carrying the let
ter of credit so necessary on a foreign
journey. The envelope, when finished,
is six inches long by four inches wide.
An exact fit for that important docu
ment the banker will provide. For a
pattern, take an envelope, and enlarge
to the specified size. Line with pink or
blue silk and
bind with nar
row white rib
bon, stitched on
the machi ne.
The envelope for
the sake of se
curity should
close with but
tons and button
holes. Before the button holes are cut,
three pieces of white ribbon, an inch
and a-half long, the ends pointed, are
stitched upon the flap, and when worked
through both ribbon and chamois, they
will be strong and durable. A long
loop of narrow white ribbon is fastened
to the upper corners, by which the en
velope is suspended around the neck of
the wearer, under the clothing. For
the sake of convenience, make the loop
long enough to slip over the head. It
can be adjusted to suit the wearer;
being soft and pliable, it can be worn
under the corset if desired. Not only is
this a useful gift for the traveler going
beyond the seas, but is as acceptable as
well to those who travel in their "ain
countrie." Ladies Home Journal.
Pretty Card Cases.
The newest card cases devised for
formal visiting are really works of f art.
Only the finest and softest kids and
leathers are used cream, amber and
snow white. Thos in suede are almost
completely covered by silver wrought
in delicate lacy patterns, with either a
tiny miniature set in moonstones in the
corner, a heavy monogram, or else a
pink-tinted conch shell surrounded by
small brilliants. Twin hearts of moon
stones and turquoises are seen on many
of the handsomest specimens, while
others are embossed with the inevitable
silver fleur-de-lis. This fin de siecle ef
fect is heightened by having a nar
row silver ribbon wound about to tie
the triple figure and descend in graceful
convolutions and loops to catch the next
flower below.
