lier spirit dwells, and none to which
the heart's warm requitals more joy
fully respond. She is the steady light
of her father's bouse. Her idea is in
dissolubly connected with that of his
happy fireside. She is the morning

vacity, and tenderness of her sex have
their place in the mighty sway which
she holds over' his spirit. The lesson
of recorded wisdom which be reads
with her eyes comes to his mind with
a new charm, as blended with the be
loved melody of her voice. He scarce
ly knows weariness which her song
does not make him forget, or gloom
which is proof against the young
brightness of her smile. She is the
pride and ornament of his hospitality
and the gentle nurse of his sickness,
and the constant agent of those name
less, numberless acts of kindness which
one cares to have rendered because
they are unpretending but expressive
proofs of love.

THE SWINGING GATE.
The twilight is full of sadness,
And the wind in its coat of gray
Skulks like a wolf thro' tbe shadows,
And will not be scared away.
Down at tbe foot of tbe garden
The gate is swinging slow.
As if invisible footsteps
Were passing to and fro.
And it seems to me, in my musing,
They were feet of my coming fate.
That will find their way to my thresheld
And pass it like the gate.
0 say, do ye bring good tidings,
Ye unseen messengers?
Or is it sorrow and boding
Of future griefs and cares!
The gate swings slowly, slowly,
And the shutters creak and start;
1 sit in the glowing lamp light;
But a shadow fills my heart.
Harper's Weekly.
THE CASTAWAYS.
On a December morning, in the
year 183. a small steamer, home
ward bound from a New Zealand port,'
was approaching1 the meridian of tbe
Hora but on a parallel more south
erly than it is now the custom of
steamships to take in rounding that
stormy, ice-girt desolate and most
inhospitable of all headlands.
December in those distant regions
is mid-summer, and the weather of
that morning was as fair and still as
a breezeless April day in this coun
try, but the swell of the vast tract of
ocean ran ceaselessl reminiscent
respirations of a giantess whose con
flict wilb the heavens is eternal and
whose breathing pauses are very few
and far between, indeed. Over this
long, dark blue, westerly swell the
great metal fabric went sweeping in
loner, floating, launching courtesiea
whitening the water astern of her
with a mile of wake.
The chief o'Ecer was on the bridge;
the first breakfast bell had rung and
the captain, smart as a naval officer
in buttons and lace trimmings quitted
the chart room and joined the mate
to take a look around before going
below. This skipper was a man of
eagle sight and instantly on directing
his eyes over the ship's bow he ex
claimed: What is that black object yon
der?" The chief mate peered and the cap
tain leveled a telescope.
A ship's boat." said he. -and
seemingly full of people.''
Tbe boat when sighted, was some
three or four miles distant and the
speed of the steamship was about
thirteen knots. In a few minutes the
alarm in the engine room rang its re
verberatory warning, sending a little
thrill of wonder throughout the ship
so rarely is that telegraph handled on
the high seas.
"1 count eight men. sir." cried the
chief mate, with a binocular glass at
his eye.
Again the engine room alarm rang
out; the pulsing that for days had
been ceaselessly throbbing through
the long fabric languished, and in a
few minutes to another summons of
tbe metal tongue below ceased, and
the great steamship floated along to
her own impetus slowly till the boat
was within the toss of a biscuit off the
bow. w.th the passengers crowding to
the side, and sailors and waiters and
steerage folk blackening the rail for
ward. The occupants of the boat consisted
of eight wild, hairy, veritable scare
crows of mea dressed in divers fash
ions Scotch caps, sea boota toil-worn
moukey jackets, and the like.
"Boat ahoy." hailed the captain as
she slowly washed alongside. "What
is wrong with you?"'
A fellow standing up in the stern
sheets cried back in a strong Yankee
accent:
"For God's sake. sir. take us
aboard! Our water's almost given out
and there's nothing left to eat"
4 'Look out for the end of a line."
bawled the captain. "Are you
strong enough to get aboard without
help?"
"Aye. sir, we'll manage it"
A rope was thrown, and one after
another the fellows came swinging
and scraping and scrambling up the
clean side of the steamship The pas
sengers crowded around and gazed at
them with curiosity and pity. Their
sympathetic oyessuemed to tind fam
ine painfully expressed in the leath
ern countenances that stared back
at them through mats of hair.
"We must let your boat go." said
the captaia
"Can t help it. sir; thankful enough
to be here I reckon." answered the
fellow who had calle.l from the stern
sheets and who acted as spokesman.
"Anything belonging to you to come
out?"
"Nothing by the etarnaL Let her
go. sir. If sa lors' sea blessings can
freight a craft she ain't going to float
long."
'1 he boat was sent adr ft the en
gine bell rang out once more the
great mail steamer was thrashing
oer the long, tall heave of Cape
Horn swelL
"How came you into this moss?"
inquired the captaia
The man who had spoken before
mado answer.
"We're all that's left or the crow of
the ltoston bark George Washington.
She was a whaler, one hundred and
eighty-four days out It were four
days ago. I was tbe first to smell
fire, some while arter two o'clock, in
tbe middle watch.'
"It wanted ten minutes to six
bells, " exclaimed a maa and a gen
eral emphatic; hairy nod followed
the interruplioa
I was the first to smell fire." con
tinued the other. call it what hour
ye like I gave the alarm and all
hands turned to with hoses and buck
ets. But there was a doal of oil in
.the bold, and the ship's planks was
thidk with grease besides, and that
gave us no chance. By ten o'clock in
the morning the flames had bursted
through and was shooting up mast
high, and then we calculated it was
time to look to the boats."
The others stood listening with
hard, solid, leathery faces generally
gazing with steadfast eyes at the
speaker, but sometimes glancing
askant at the captain and the crowd
of others which stood around.
There was a tarnation ugly sea
running." the man went on. "and.
the whole wheel being deserted, the
ship had fallen off and lay in tbe
trough, and the iowering.of the stern j
boats, whalemen though they was !
who had the handling of 'era cost I
our company of twenty-eight souls j
the loss of all hands, saving them as
stand afore ye. r
A bad job! A measly, cruel bad
job!" here broke in a long-jawed maa
whose brow and eyes were almost
concealed by a quantity of coarse red
hair.
"Well us eight men got away in
the boat" proceeded the spokesmaa
bringing along with us nothin' but
a small bag of bread and about six
galldns of fresh water. We've been
washing about since Tuesday, and
now. the Lord be praised, here we ba
with a chance of getting something to
eat and. what's more pleasurable
still to 'our feel inga the opportunity
of comfortably turning ia"
- murmur of pity ran among the
paieengera several of whom wera
ladiea and there was more than one
somewhat loud whisper to the effect
thai the captain otaght really to seed
the poor creatures forward at once to
get some breakfast Instead of holding
them starving and dry with thirst to
talk. The eagle-ejred skipper, how
ever, asked several questions before
dismissing them.
Since, thea by their own confes
sioa the fire gave thorn plenty.of time
to escape from the bark, how was it
thy had left her so ill-provisioned as
the represented P
This was most satisfactorily ac
counted for. Other inquiries of a
like nature were responded to with
alacrity and: intelligence. Every
sentence that one or another of them
let fall was corroborated by the rest,
Their tale of suffering, indeed, in the
open boat was almost harrowing, and
the captaia wfcth the first note of
sympathy that his voice had taken,
ordered them to go forward, adding
that after a good hot meal had been
served them they might turn in
and sleep for the rest of the day
wherever they could make a bed,
At the brestkast in the saloon noth
ing was talked about hut the Ameri
can whaler tiiat had been consumed
by fire, tne dreadful drowning of some
two-thirds of her crew and the mirac
ulous deliverance of the survivors
from the inexpressible perils and
horrors of an open boat in the solitude
of the stormiest part of ocean the wide
world over. A benevolent gentleman
proposed a stibsoriptioa Before the
luncheon bell was runtf a sum of thirty
pounds sterling had been collected.
The incident was a broak in tbe mo
notony, and when uhe eight men re
appeared on deck duoing the after
noon they were promptly approached
by the passengers, who obliged them
to recite again and yet again their
melancholy story of maritime disaster.
On the morning of the third day
following the date of this rescue a
ship was sighted almost directly in a
line with the vessel course. As she
was nearcd she wos seen to bo rigged
with stump or Cape; .horn topgallant
masts; she was also under very easy
canvas which gave her a very short
handed look in that tjuiet sea Great
wooden davits overhung her sides,
from which dangled a number of
boats. She presented a very grimy,
worn aspect and had manifestly kept
the sea for months. It was observed
by tho chief officer, standing on the
bridge of tbe steamer, that the eight
rescued mea who were looking at
the sail ahead, along with some of
the crew and steerage passengers,
disclosed several symptoms of un
easiness and even of agitatloa
Suddenly the stripes and stars, with,
tbe stars inverted.' were run aloft to
the peak end a signal of distress.
The engines were slowed and the
steamer's head put so as to pass the
vessel within easy hailing distance.
A man aboard the bark stood In the?
mizzen rigging.
Steamer aboy!" he roared.
Mello!"
I have lost a boat and eight of my
mea Have you seen anything of
her?"
The captaia who had gained the
bridge lifted his hand.
Bark ahoy !" he cried. ' -What bark
is that?"
"The George Washingtoa whaler,
of Bostoa one hundred and eighty
four days out"
The captain of the steamship con
cealed a sour grin.
"How came you o lose your boat
and the men?"
"They stole her one middle watch
and sneaked away from the ship. "
The captain of the steamship
laughed.
"We have your men safe here." be
shouted; '-glad to learn that you are
not burned down to the water's edge,
and that the rest of your crew look:
brisk, considering tnat tcey are
drowned men. Send a boat and yoee
shall have your sailors." W. Clark
Russell in Wit and Wisdom.
HISTORY CORRECTED.
One Man Doubted thn Generally Accept
ed l.a.Ht Word of Pitt.
The last words of William Pitt are
reported to have been "Oh. my coun
try! How I love my country!" But
Lord Kosebery. in his recent memoir
of 'The Great Commoner." quotes aa
anecdote which Mr. Disraeli used to
tell that proves that one man at least
had a word about tbe authenticity of
tbe exclamation. When Mr. Disraeli
entered parliament he used often to
dine at the house of commons, where
he was generally served by a grim old
wa.ter who was supposed to possess a
secret treasure of political traditioa
The young member sought to wia his
confidence. One day the venerable
domestic relented. "You hear many
lies told as history, sir." he said. "Do
you know what Mr. Pitt's last words
were?" -Of coutse." said Mr.
Disraeli; "they are well known: Oh.
my country! How 1 love my country!' '
Nonsense," said the old maa "I'll
tell you how it was. l.ato one night
I was called out of bed by a messen
ger in a postchaise shouting to me
outside of the window. "What is it?'
I said. -You're to get up and drois
and bring some of your meat pies
down to Mr. Pitt at Autuey.' So I
went: and as we drove along he told
me that Mr. Pitt bad not been able to
take any loud, but had suddonly said:
I think I could eat one of. Bellamy's
mutton pies.' And so I was sent for
post-haste. When we arrived Mr.
Pitt was dead. Them was his last
words: 'I think 1 could eat one of
Bellamy's meat pies. ' ' '

The Boston Globe thus sizes New
York up: "History is not burdened
with anything that ever happened in
New York. It is a fa t that nobody
ever was born in New York. In
variably the man of the period who
cuts any kind of a swath in the
Broadway throng originated some
where else than in New York. Many
people die in New York. But almost
never is anybody buried there. The
leaders of this extraordinary place
generally come from the farm or the
village and after thirty or forty years
of racing up and down that swarming
island they fall before the sickle of
the universal reaper and are boxed
up hastily and returned to their native
soil or carted over on to Long Island. "

Until the present century the pecu
liar difficulties offered by the struct
ure and texture of cats bad hardly
been surmounted. When the old
masters drew a cat they made it solid'
and hard it is probable that the
varieties they knew were less beauti
ful than tnose which we now delight
in but also there was a conventional
negle t of the furry character of the
surface. In painting a cat now the
danger is in avoiding a false solidity, to
lose all spnse of the osseous forms in
securing softness and lightness. Sat

But bagging tb e grapes at the prop
er time probably- affords the most suf
ficient pro tectioB from all the one
mies which destiroy the grapes. Birds
very rarely atteimpt to peck through
the baga and tb is nuisance is entirely
prevented from doing any great in
jury. Insects are likewise excluded
U the bags are properly put oa The
black rot and mildew are also largely
prevented from destroying the crop
through the bag"ging process.
a. The expense and labor w'hich
bagging entails are tho only objec
tions raised to the method, but then
there is expense and extra work in
all methods of progressive farminc.
3 The farmer that does not insure him
self against all risk is the one who
will eventually lose alL For many
years it is possible to succeed with
out adopting any of tbe protective
methods, but a season will come when
all may be lost Luck is often
covnted by farmers as good sense and
good planning. Upon this basis many
advocate the old loose methods, for
they are less expensive, and in some
cases they answer just as welL But
farming in this age cannot be con
ductor upon such a plan with any
great success for a long period.
Bags must be applied to the grapes
before the berries are nearly growa
j or else they will not protect against
tne DiacK rot although they will
against birds and insects. The
bunches should be covered as soon as
possible after the berries are set
The ordinary paper bags of two
pounds, such as used by merchants,
should be slipped over tho bunches
and pinned or tied around the stem.
At the bottom of each bag an opening
should be made to allow the water to
escape. Thi3 can be done by driving
a chisel through a bunch of 50 bags
at a time
The bass will cost on an averacm
i from $1 to $1.50 per 1,000. and bovs
can be taught to pin them on for $1
a day. One thousand or more should
constitute a day's work. It is not
difficult work where the vines are
properly trained on trellis work.
After all the bagging is not much
more expensive than sprayicg several
times with fungicides, and they cer
tainly keep the grapes In better con
dition- The bags protect the large
bunches from the wind and raia
whicli often spoil the finest ones. The
general result is such that those who
have tried tho bagging system will
not fail to use it agaia Cor. Ameri

What la a Hen Worth?
I am getting more and more tired
of breeds that want to set says a
writer in the National Stockmaa I
always have a lot of hens shut up to
break them from setting; this is a
great waste of time on the hen's part
and some on mine. And when you
do break a hen from setting it will
only be a short time before she is at
it again. Yea for the special pur-
pose of egg-production we must have
Bpecial-purpose bens.
What- is a hen worth? I mean a
hen at maturity, or near enough to
begin to lay eggs. It costs so much
for feed and she will lay so many
eggs during the year, and at the end
of the year she will be worth a cer
tain sum for table purposes. I have
never been able to keep separate ac
counts. In fact havinjr breeds that
set I could not get their true value
for eggs because they necessarily lost
a good deal of time setting and tak
ing care of their chickens. My hens,
if not too old. will average about
120 eggs each; a grood non-setter
ought to lay 150 to 200 eggs in a
year, say $2. 25 to $5 worth of eggs at
eighteen cents a dozea Cost of
feed seventy-five cents, and the worth
at the end of the year fifty cents for
meat would leae $1 to $1.75 for
profit and to pay original cost of hen.
That is an estimate; here are some
facts: Last year my hens averaged
but fifty-eight eggs; this was owing
to having so many old hens, but here
is the account for the year with 124
hens:

It cost me only forty cents to feed
a hen a year; the eggs cost nine and
a half cents a dozen for feed. The
profit on each hen was eighty-two
cents. WelL it is not a big showing
but it left me over $100 better off than
if I had not kept hena But how the
wealth would have rolled in if I had
cleaned out the houses eve-y week
and broken my back spading up the
yards to pre. out cholera to say noth
ing of hurrying out of bed in the win
ter mornings to give the hens a warm

they come off the roost.
The l-attttt About Sllo.
A Rhode Island correspondent of
the New Fngland Homestead telis
bow 6. F. Jenks, of Limo Rock, last
year built three large silos and sim
ply covered the tops with finely cut
hay. In using the silage he took It
from the top and by so doing pre
vented the mold that results from ex
posure. Ho kept the cut hay con
stantly on the top and supplied more
as needed. His cows and horses ate
the silage with avidity, and he could
not keep the stock he now keeps with
out it. He furthermore says: it has
been satisfactorily settled in this
vicinity that silos are a valuable
adjunct to a milk producer near the
large cities and wholesale markets.
It has been shown that silage can be
kept without the great expense of
weighting and time at the busy sea
son of filling the silo."
A H mljr Closet.
Closets are as convenient to have
in the carriage-house or barn as in
the house, and yet few farmers have
them. Some have harness closets to
protect fine harness from dust or
thieves; but it is with small nandy
closets, for odds and ends, that we
have to deal at present If vou have

. An exchange gives tho following
item which illustrates tho importance
of thoroughly pulverizing the ground:
A few years ago a team was kept har.
rowing on nine acres for fourteen
days. The land was to bo sown in
wheat The harrowing was pro
longed because the weather was so
drouthy that it was hoped in this way
to coax enough moisture to the sur
face to prevent the added commercial
fertilizer from burning up the "seed.
With ordinary cultivation this land
would have yielded 2,1 to 26 bushels
of wheat to the acre but this thorough
harrowing made tho surface soil as
fine as meal and a crop of 43 bushels
to the acre was the result Such an
increase, it would repdily be seen,
would pay very largely for the addi
tional and apparentlv excessive labor
tnat was Put on t- but we have no
doubt that such a result can oftn h
achieved by such means. The con
tinuous harrowing not only made a
very fine surface soil but made just
the compact bed beneath that the
wheat crop loves.
Keeping the K-it Away.
Everybody knows that a ferret will
drive away the rats but everybody
does not know how to manage a fer
ret which must be done carefully, for
should the ferret get away he will bo
more destructive than a hundred rati
says Poultry Keeper. But it is an
easy matter to keep a ferret in a cage,
and as the animal gives olT a very
strong odor his presence is quickly
noticeable to the rats. If they find
OUt that there is n. fflrrnt nn thn
premises they will leave as fast as
their legs will carry them, as they
well know that a ferret can pursue
them into the r holes. A prominent
poultryman who had over a hundred
chicks killed by rati in one night
could do nothin" for relief until he
purchased a ferret, which is kept in a
cage in the brooder house. Since the
cage with the ferret has been placed
in the house there have been no sign?
of rats, as they left in a body.

PATRICK GIL-MORE
Patrick Gilmore, the world re
nowned musician, band leader and
manager, died last week at the Lin
dell hotel at St. Louis of heart fail
ure due to indigestion. He had for
several days been feeling unwell and
consulted a physician. No one
thought that he was seriously ill un
til his disease assumed an aggrava
ted character and he passed away at
the age of 63 years, just at a time
when he was in full possession of his
fame and apparently had many years
of active life before him. It shows
how careful we ought to be to resist
the first attack of indigestion. When
ever this malady assails us we should
take the Laxative Gum Drops, the
best remedy for indigestion and dys-
pepsia on the market. These Gum
Drops are mild and agreeable, and
certain in their action. The small
box costs ioc the large 25c. Get
them of any dealer.
