THE DISAPPOINTED.
There are song enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
I sing for the disappointed.
For those who missed their aim.
I sing with a tearful cadence
For one who stands In tho dark.
And knows that his last, best arrow
lias hounded back from the mark,
I sing for tho breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul.
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of tho goal:
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions.
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for tho lovers
Who share love's tender pain;
I sing for the one whose passion
Is given and in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way,
I sing with a henrt oV-rflowing
This minor strain to day.
.And 1 inow the solar system
Must somewhero keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost tho race.
For the Plan would be imperfect
Unles? it held some sphere
That paid for tho toll and talent
And lovo that are wasted hero.

TLo Life, Lovo and Death of
Bravo Man.
It was dusty. Lot and, badly venti
lated indoors, although out of doors a
cold rain was beating cheerlessly
njraiust the car windows, and the
damp, raw wind was as fresh as the
brown hilli and ice covered marshes id
blew over. It was an accommodation
train on one of the trunk lines in the
central purt of this Slate and therefore
a better condition of affairs could not
have been e;ected. Xo matter how
cold the weather or wet, it is always
hot and dusty on an accommodation
train. The colder and welter it is out
hide, the hotter and dustier inside, and
the more unpleasant it is the slower
the train bumps over the rails, the
more frcijupnt the .stops it makes, the
larger the crowd of on-coming passen
gers, and the greater the throng of go-crs-out.
At Palatine Bridge the train
came to another stop. On the uncov
ered platform of the railway station
there were gathered a few shivering
would-be passengers, eager to barter
one condition of discomfort for an
other almost equally as disagreeable
and impatient at the delay, for who
ever knew an accommodation train to
be on time? Among them were a man
dressed like a farmer and two little
girls the elder less than six years old
and the younger her junior a year or
so with freih. smiling, dimpled faces
and sweet, prattling voices, which
even the rumble ot the train, the
sticky dust, the plashing rain, the
smoke, the heat and the crowded load
of ill-tempered p:is:engers could not
cloud or silence. They came into the
car where 1 sat. The farmer and the
j-ounger child found a vacant seat in
front of me. 1 moved nearer the aisle
to let the other climb o er the parcels
l3' my side next to the window, out
of which she gazed into the rain and
through the blinding clouds of smoke
which covered the sojrry fields with an
intensity of delight that was so tmaf
feeted tliat the train ought to have felt
flattered, had it had sense enough to
feel anything.
"I dess love to ride on the cars,
don't you?" she asked after the train
had resinned its tiresome journey.
'Sometimes,1' I replied.
"I do all the time. Iy papa is an
engineer."'
"Then you ride a good deal?" I ven
tured. "Not very much," she answered
with a little sigh of discontent; "not as
much as I want to. Since mamma
went away, papa won't let me, and
grandma always cries when I go on the
cars."
"Ah!"
"Didn't you know that? You know
my papa?" she remarked with such
confidence in my knowledge that I was
almost ashamed to say that 1 didn't.
"Don't bother the gentleman," inter
rupted the farmer as he turned half
around in his -.cat and faced me. "She
is a big talker.'
"She doesn't bother rac in the least,"
1 made haste to say. So, reassured,
the little maiden turned her face again
to the window, and in a moment Was
too much absorbed in the fleeting pano
rama to remember anything but the
passing pleasure.
"Her father was an engineer on this
road .Tim Churchill. Ever heard of
him?" continued the fanner after a
short paue. "No. Well, 1 ain't sur
prised. Yet he desen ed to be known
more'n lots of men that gels their
names before the public. liin and I
was schoolboys together up the country
near Pahm ra. We was both raised in
the same township, and we used to
think when we i a- men we'd be part
ner, and so we was almost. Jim w:ls
bigger n me. stronger and a year or so
older. I w as r.lvv ays a runt among the
boys, and if it hadn't been for Jim I'd
irobably been licked every day in my
ife. But Jim wouldn't stand nothing
of that sort. He w:is as brave as a
giant and he never allowed any one to
be imposed upon while he could pre
vent it, and when the boys learned
that he meant what he said they let me
alone. So we irrew tip together like
two brothers. He loved me because I
was weaker than he was, just as a
father loves a baby, and 1 just wor
shiped him. I'd a "died for him, stran
ger, just as easy if JuY only said the
word. You ought to ha e knowed Jim
Churchill. One Jim Churchill would
make up for a half a million such fel
lows as me and the ordinary run of
folks.
"When we was about sixteen years
we had ourjirst trouble. She was the
prettiest girl in the county, and she
was just as sweet ana good as she was
. pretty, bhc was the dominie s daugh-
tcr. and when she came to school Jim
and 1 both set our caps for her at the
same time. Eunnv, stranjrer, how a
pretty girl will come between old j
friends. Two men can live like twins
a whole lifetime, but just let a pretty
woman come in and they will fight like
brothers-in-law over a will. When little
Phillis came to school, and Jim and I
ran races to ask to see her home or to
fetch her to singing school or Sunday
night meeting, then, stranger, we
knowed the first trouble of our lives.
Somehow we grew cold like, and be
fore that vcar was ended we did not
speak. One night Jim and I met at her
house. I was seventeen then, and Jim

Ho had a beard, almost, and ho was as
handsome as a picture. He didn't
know I was there, or I don't think he'd
a called. I had been there about an
hour, and just before the knocker
sounded Phillis had told me the old
story we all of us love to hear so well, The invention of type-writing dates
and I felt as happy and light-hearted as as far back as 1714, when one Henry

sitting in the little old parlor he seemed a device that "writes in printed char

got ugly. Phillis saw it, too, soon as I
- 'Jim,' said she. her voice trembling
just a little, 'Jim, I want you and Bob
to shake hands and be friends.'
"Then I got up and held out my hand;
though, to tell the truth, I felt sort of
nervous.
" 'Jim,' she went on, her voice jot
ting stronger and her face getting
sweeter and sweeter, 'I want you to
love Bob again just as you used'to, be
cause because I love him so much.
Won't you, Jim, for my sake?'
"I wish you could have seen Jim just
then, stranger. I never saw tho good
in a man fight so hard with the bad and
como out ahead in all my life before or
since, and never expect to again. He
6tood there by tho open window just as
if he'd been carved out of stone. I
didn't know whether he'd heard what
she said or not, he was so still.
Then, just as I was about to take
back my hand, Jim took it in both of
his so hard I almost dropped. Then he
threw his arms around my neck, kissed
me on my lips, flopped down on a
chair, stranger, and cried like a baby.
Phillis, tho little woman, cried too,
and there we all were with our arms
around each other crying like women
and not any of us knowing what we
were crying about,
"That settled things with us. After
that we was brothers just like we used
to be. Well, it's a long story, and I
guess you won't care to hear it all. So
I'll cut it short. When I was twenty
one I was married. Jim was our best
man, and my oldest boy is named
James Churchill Brown. About a year
or so later Jim married. She was a
cripple and supported her mother do
ing sewing. But if she had been a
royal princess Jim couldn't have
treated her any better. After he got
on the road hebuilt her a little house
near us and there they lived and thcro
these little tots came into the world.
About a year ago a little boy came to
their cottage, but he only stayed a day
or so, and when he went back to where
he came from he took the little mother
back too, and these little ones were
left behind. Jim never lost heart,
though, but the blow nearly killed
him. He stood up under it as brave
as a lion, and j-ou'd never have known
from his face, except that he didn't
smile the way he used to. that he knew
what, sorrow was. One evening last
week it was an off day with Jim he
and Phillis was out walking by tho
creek that runs through my meadow
by the red barn. It was just dusk and
my little boy was running on ahead
playing in the snow when they carao
to the railroad crossing. Just as they
got there Jim heard a whistle. It
wasn't time for the regular train, so he
wasn't watching out for danger, It
was a special and it was coming 'round
the curve like lightning. My little
Jim was playing on the culvert. Phil
lis heard the whistle, she saw the boy
on the track, she heard the rattle of
)f I
the engine just as if it was a dream.
Then she gave a little scream and fell
down on the road in a faint "
"East Creek!" called out the conduc
tor, as the train stopped again in tho
storm.
"Oh, Uncle Bob!" cried the little
maiden by 1113- side. "Look out the
window. There's Aunt Phillis and
cousin Jim and there's grandpa and
grandma and what a funny looking
black wagon that is! Look! Look!"
she continued, as the farmer gathered
together his charges and started for the
door. "The are putting a black box
in the wagon, and Aunt Phillis is cry
ing awful hard."
"Yes," replied the farmer as ha
brushed away a tear from his eyes.
"Yes, that's Jim Churchill, stranger,
in that box." Benjamin Xorlhrop, is

"SIMPSON'S DARTER."
Her Meeting Willi nil Old Friend on a KaiV
road Train.
A jrentleman traveling from Buffal-s
to New York City tells the story:
At Albaivy, two ladies, dressed in the
extreme of fashion, entered the car.
Their manners indicated great affecta
tion and consequent shallowness.
The only unoccupied seat in the car
was directly behind a quiet-looking
lady, evidently from the country. Her
dress was of calico, her bonnet of
plain straw, and her gloves were of
cotton. She could not, however, have
looked neater, and she had a good,
honest face.
As the fashionable ladies adjusted
their draperies in the unoccupied seat,
one of them said to the other:
"Don't 3011 think it too bad that
there are such poor accommodations
on railway trains now?"
"How in what way?" asked her
companion.
-Why, here we are crowded up with
all classes of people, some of them so
common. Look at that person in front
of us.'
"Horrid, isn't she?"
"Perfectly dreadful!"
"Looks like a common laborer."
"How annoying to have to como in
contact with Mich people!"
"Belongs to some ordinary family.
If one could only ecludo one's self
from such persons when traveling even
short distances! I suppose it's horrid
in me to sa3' it. but 1 have all my life
had such a repugnance to common
laboring people.
The lady in the calico dress must
have heard a part of this conversation,
but her face was perfectly composed.
At that moment an elderly man in
the home-spun and home-made gar
ments of a farmer came down the aisle.
He slopped before the ladies of fashion,
closely senitinied the features of the
one having "such a repugnance to
common people." and, just as the train
stopjred at the station, cried out loud
enough to be heard by eveiy person in
the car:
"Lookce hyar, hain't 3-ou old Bill

ZITHER AND BANJO.
Two Musical Instrument Which Are
ceodlngly Popular st Present.
"Pltmkcty plunk plunk," are tha
sounds heard almost any afternoon or
evening by a person ascending a rather
dingy stair-case in a two-story build
ing adjoining the MilwaukeetSrect car
company's barn on West Water street.
A sign on the outside door bears tho
legend "Cigar manufacturer," and tho
odor of the weed permeates tho entire
building. Entering a room at tho
head of the stairs a number of men at
work rolling tobacco leaf arc seen, and
one is directed to a small office whence
comes the banjo's strains. The cigar
manufacturer is engaged in giving a
lesson on the banjo to a young man
well known in social circles. It is said
that he is the only instructor of
banjo playing in this city. Speaking
of the extent of thrumming onc hero
he said: "I have been giving instruc
tions on this instrument for the past
five years, and though my classes have
always been of good size, I have more
pupils this year than ever before. It is
an accomplishment that is being culti
vated quite generally in all parts of
the country, and I believe that the
banjo business, both for manufacturers
of banjos and instructors, has been un
precedented'' large everywhere. At tho
beginning of the winter I gave all my
lessons in the evening and went around
to the pupil's residence, but now I
have lilted up this little office and I
only go out for lady pupils.,
"Who are your pupils?"
"They are all of them young people
and include some very well known
ladies and gentlemen. The ladies as a
rule learn to play very well and easily,
while the gentlemen, especially this
-car, are also readv at acquiring the
art."
"What is the price of a banjo?'
"That varies according to the quality
of the instrument. You can buy one
for almost any price, but if you selert
one of the best make and finish you
will have to pay in the neighborhood of
fifty dollars, ft is the same as with
other instruments. Those producine
the best tone are the most desirable.,
and, therefore, the most expensive.
No, I don't hav.: many German patrons.
The banjo is essentially an American
instrument and is not cultivated much
by foreigners."
An investigation suggested by this
last remark showed that the Germans
do not take to the banjo much, but
prefer the zither or the guitar. A
teacher of the zither said: "I can only
estimate the number of zither players,
as they have never been counted and
there are several other teachers besides
myself. However, judging from what
I know about zither players, I should
say there were upwards of two hundred
inthe city. There are already two
zither clubs and a third one is in pro
cess of formation. Almost all of my
pupils arc Germans. It is not a very
difficult instrument to learn, but re
quires assiduous practice. The concert
zither gives by far the best tone and is
the kind used by good players. The
good zithers arc imported from Ger
many and 3'ou can get a fine one from
fifty "to one hundred and twenty dollars
according to the finish. The cheaper
zithers have but thirty-one strings in
stead of thirty-eight and do not have as
good a tone." These can be had from
eight up to thirty dollars. Neither of
the clubs has 3ret appeared in concert,
but the cfl'cct of a dozen or more zith
ers is vcrv fine." Milwaukee Sentinel.
INTERESTING TESTS.
Tho Effect of DinVrent Manures Under
Oats and tf Top-Dressing.
Among other interesting experi
ments conducted by Professor II. C.
White, of the University farm in
Athens, Ga., under the auspices of tho
State Commissioner, and recently re
ported upon, was one testing the effect
of different manures under oats and
of different top-dressings.
Tho plot selected was a section of an
oat field 825 feet long and 132 feet wide,
containing in all 2 acres. A strip 825
feet long and 41H feet wide was ma
nured in the fall with well-rotted stable
mauure alone at the rate of 20 bushels
per acre. A strip 825 feet long b 33
feet wide was manured with cotton
seed alone at the rate of 20 bushels per
acre. A strip 825 feet long 13 49 feet
wide w:us manured with commercial
fertilizers (ammoniatcd) at the rate of
o00 pounds per :icre. The plot was di
vided into ten sections across the thrco
strips, each section containing in all J
uere, and sub-divided into three parte,
a containing 3-32 acres: b containing
2-32 acres, and c containing 3-32 acres.
The top-dressings (including cotton
seed meal, acid phosphate, nitrate of
soda, sulphate of ammonia and muriate
of potash) were applied at the rate of
100 pounds per acre upon each section
on tht same day, immediately preced
ing a shower.
The conclusions arrived at, accord
ing to the results presented in a table
accompanying the report, and not given
here for lack of space, are: First
Where no top-dressing was applied
.stable manure gave bct results, com
mercial fertilizer next best, and cotton
seed much lower results. Second .
Cotton seed does not appear 10 'o a
good manure for oats, either with or
without subsequent top-dressing. Third
The largest yield, which was 1,518
pounds of grain and 2.742 pounds of
straw per acre, was obtained In ma
nuring with stable manure and top
dressing with nitrate of soda.
By manuring with stable manure
and top-dressingwith muriate of potash,
were gained 1,376 pounds of grain and
3,326 pounds of straw per acre. By
manuring with stable manure and top
dressing with kainit. were obtained
1.210 pounds of grain and 2,570 pounds
of straw per acre. Sulphate of am
monia applied as a top-dressing with
stable manure gave 1,086 pounds of
grain and 2,406 pounds of straw per
acre. X. Y. World.
BABY'S BEAUTY.
It In Saved by a Delicate and Successful
Surgical Operation.
An operation performed at one of the
South Side hospitals in this city is thus
described b3 one of the attending sur
geons: The patient is a girl bain whoso
body is covered with hair moles. One
of these began on her forehead, extend
ed down over her eye-lids and covered
the bridge of her nose, disfiguring an
otherwise beautiful face. The opera
tion was for the purpose of removing
this growth of hair. The patient was
placed under the influence of an anais
thctic, and the surgeon made an incis
ion in the skin covering the forehead
and cheek bones on each side and
through the outer skin of the eyelids
and upper part of the nose. Then he
cut throngh the skin over each eye.
leaving a pair of eyebrows. The skm
w:is removed and small pieces were cut
from the patient's limbs and trans
planted over the forehead, nose and
eye lids. The child was so completely
covered with moles that the surgeon
was obliged to make the transplantation
of several small pieces of skin instead
of one piece. "The forehead will ba
slightly scarred," said the surgeon,
"bat will be a thousand times mora
sightly than if it was disfigured by that
mole. The little pationt did not seem
to mind the operation, and in half an
hour, recovering from the influence J
the anaesthetic was sleeping soondb.

OUlt GIULd.
A writer In an exchange oilers tho fol
lowing forcible plea for the more prac
tical training of girls: "it should be
the aim of all to give the girls just as
broad a business education as the bovs.
It makes them capable of taking care of
tlie ianiuy, 11 sucn responsioiuues are
placed upon them; it broadens their
ide:is and makes them nobler and bet
ter. Girls, as a rule, are fully as clear
headed as boys when 3-oung, but if, as
is the common practice, the girls arc
brought up to do nothing, to think but
little except of dress and amusements,
they fall far behind the 3'oung man, at
the" age of 20. in mental abilit.
"What is needed is, that at home and
at school, thc3 be taught that to shine
in social circles or to roll in wealth is
not the highest aim of womanhood.
Hut let them be taught to make a homo
joyful and happy, and yet be prepared,
if "necessary, for life's bitterest strug
gles. The 3'ounir woman who is best
equipped for life's battles is the one who
has been brought up to see and know
something of the shadows as well as the
sunshine of everyday life; who knows
what poverty is," what work is, and
what true happiness is. No person,
whether man or woman, can be truh
happy with nothing but idleness on
hand, and girls should be educated that
work of some kind is nccessan to health
and happiness. Give girls life's prac
tical lessons lessons that once learned
aro never forgotten. Let them under
stand thoroughly the details of ever3
day life, the value of a'd kinds of com
modities used daiby. how to make a
check, draft, note, and receipt Let
them be toid the truth about themselves
and about the world. TI1C3- should
know something about the snares and
pitfalls that beset them. Let them be
thoroughly impressed with the fact that
on themselves, in a large degree, de
pends the success of the men thev mar
ry. Let them know how to cook, giv
ing them a thorough course in the kitch
en. Let them begin where their
mothers left off, and we shall have a
feneration of girls strong, hopeful, am
itious and self-reliant, that will ele
vate the men, and make a hardier and
aggressive people,

ARCniTECTUKE FOR WOMEN.
Tlie Southern irom suggests archi
tecture as a profession for women. There
arc magnificent and costly houses whoso
kitchen arrangements are a man-el of
inconvenience; and the woman of tho
house often says with a groan, "No
woman would have planned things so."
liy all means let women be architects.
They would naturally make better ar
chitects than men, for the reason that
they have more practical knowledge of
convenience and economy, especially in
the arrangement of dwellings and other
buildings appropriated wholly, or in
part, to the use of their sex. 'lhere are.
or could be, a thousand little intricacies
about our homes which tho masculine
mind would never conceive, but which
would add immeasurably to the com
fort and convenience of the tidy am
bitious housewife. Since the trace of a
woman's" hand is so easily diseernablc
in indoor decorations and adornments,
wlrv should she not cultivate and de
velop this, as any other talent, giving
to her varied genius a wider field of ac
tivity and usefulness?
The Hoy in Nature.
The book for ever farmer's boj" to
read is the open book of Nature. There
was none ever written that contains
one-half of the information, none other
half so fascinating, none so perfect and
pure. Nature teaches us to dwell as
much as possible upon the beautiful
and good, and to ignore atall times
the evil and the false.
Let us take a single tree for an object
lesson and seo what it will teach us.
Vegetable and animal lives in no way
differ in principle; there is a perfect an
alogy between the two. All plants pos
sess real life the3 eat, drink, feel, sleep,
breathe and secrete in short perform
all tho functions of supply, repair, de
velopment and reproduction. The in
telligence the manifest in searching
for food is simply wonderful, while the
actions of climbing plants in search of
supports arc equally strange. All these
wonderful cculiaritics of plants are but
little seen or appreciated. Not one
man in ten ever saw tho true roots of a
tree, or knows that thc3 are put forth in
spring simultaneously with the leaves
and arc shed with them in autumn.
To make the farm attractive, show the
child its attractions: how plants know
when there has been a storehouse of
food placed within their reach, and will
immediately turn their attention to it
Show how each and even plant takes
from the earth and atmosphere different
elementary substances, and how they
are stored up for our use. Show the
chihl the plant's adaptation to the neces
sities of other living organisms in the
localities where tlioy are indigenous;
how that in even locality the animal
and plant support aud sustain each
other.
How intcrestinir it is to watch the
plant industries as they are carried on
side by side, each doing its own work
wisely and well and without exciting in
the least the envy of its neighbor, and
without contention or strife. We sec
the Maple collecting saccharine juices,
the Pine, rosin: the Poppy, opium; the
Oak, tannin; and so on through the
list. In our gardens the Aconite col
lects a deadly poison which it stores up
in its tubers, and In its side the Potato
gathers in stareii for the sustenance of
man. The plant's adaptation to the
soil and climate in which it is to row,
is one of the mo-t beautiful aud useful
studies for the old as well as the voung.

Household Hints.
Whiting wet with aqua ammonia will
cleanse brass from stain-, and is excel

knobs of brass or silver.
Hani relish may be made by season

of dressed ham, then broiling it. and

Salt will curdle milk, therefore in pre
paring milk to:t--t. sauce, scrambled
eggs or anything of which milk is the
lotiudation. do not add the salt till the
pan has left the fire.
Try this rccivu for a pie: The pulp
of one lemon, chopped tine, with half a
cup of raisins; add two tablespooiifuls
of Hour, one cup of sugar anil one of
water. Pake between two thin cnists.
Baking powder and soda biscuits
should be put into warm pans, and
baked in a quick oven; a little warm
water nibbed over them just before
putting into the oven will give them a
nice color.
To remove fmit stains from a cambric
handkerchief or other white goods, dip
the stain in boiling milk; if this is not
effectual, apply a ery weak solution of
chloride of lime, being careful to boil
the handkerchief afterward.
Typhus fever is marked In short de
lirious, broken dreams. Scarlet fever
by realistic dreams, excited by sur
roundings. Remittent fever b3 long,
delirious, painful dreams. Herein are
suggested some suitable points in
diagnosis.
The fat of chickens is said b3 a cake
maker of great experience to be superior
to tho finest butter for making the most
delicate cake. If the fat of boiled
chickens Is to be used, cook them with
out salt and there will not be the
slightest flavor of fowl.
Keep a pin-cushion In the kitchen.
If none is at hand, a pin picked up is
laid on the window-sill, or stuck in the
dress, to fall, perhaps, into the next
batch of bread kneaded. Each child
should be taught to pick up even pin it
sees and put it in its proper place.
Potato Solllet Rake tho potatoes,
cut oil one end, take the inside out.
saving the skin: mash the potatoes with
grated Parmesan cheese, butter, salt,
pepper and mustard, and replace in the
skin ami bake, standing them upright
in a dish. A capital savory for after
dinner.
An excellent and simple disinfectant
for sinks and waste pipes is made by
mixing one large tahlc-poonful of cop
peras with one quart of boiling water.
Phis solution is odorless and deodorizes
instantly. The copperas ma3- be bought
at an3 dniggist's lor eight or ten cents
a pound.
For soft frosting, use ten tcaspoonfuls
of powdered sugar and one egg; beat
thirt3 minutes. For frosting and mer
ingue, powdered sugar should always
be used. Lay the frosting on with a
knife, which, if frequently dipped into
cold water, will, give the icing a gloss.
A little cream of tartar just a mito
will hasten the hardening.
A writer in a medical journal says
buttermilk is a good remedy in cases of
irritation of the stomach. He adds:
"I have had some experience recently
with it quite satisfactory in a few in
stances. Four cases of persistent vomit
ing occurring in succession, intolerant
of am other treatment, gave wiu kind
ly to this."
If medicine is mixed with very cold
water, and a few swallows of the water
bo taken as a preparatory dose, the
nen'es of tho organ of taste become
sufficiently benumbed to make the medi
cine nearly tasteless. The method will
not disguise bitter tastes, but acts well
in oils and salines.
