Belletonte, Pa., July 18, 1913. If Eyes Were Always Glowing. If eyes were always glowing And hearts were always gay, With shadows never showing That grief would have its day. I'd wish a life of joy for you, Without grief's dark alloy for you, Without one trace of pain for you, With everything a gain for you, If eyes were always glowing And hearts were always gay. Eyes are not always glowing, Hearts are not always gay, For shadows still keep growing That grief does have its day. 1 pray, then, joy be sent to you, That grief be only lent to you, The two be blended so for you That life will ever show for you That happy eyes keep glowing, That loving hearts are gay. —S. Jean Walker. THE PICCANINNY AND THE CZAR. [Concluded from last week.) Douglas was not certain what the Tsarskoye-Selo was, but suspected that he was being sentto a dungeon for life and fled more madly than he had done from the sound of the supposed bomb to the shelter of Miss Angela's dressing wn. That lady was in a humor t whacked him 5 ns bring him to his senses and a condition of co- .

It is avery t honor. Itis the Czar who —— your boy dance at his smoking party. It is indeed extaordinaire. It is a high compliment.” "High compliment be ! Why Sidut the old guy send for me I'm this ow y little nigger can’t go unless do. See? You tell Bim 80.” Poor Douglas could not understand why all the following day she snarled at him on the slightest provocation and slap- ped him when he wanted to go out on the street with the other piccaninnies. He could not fathom why he was told that he was “gettin’ too fresh.” He could not define professional jealousy. The utmost he wanted was to escape this tyrant and get back to Baltimore where he could dance and shuffle in the road. way, and wear old clothes that could not be soiled by a fight or a frolic; back to where his mammy was kindly and cud- dled his little woolly head to her ample bosom if he so much as stubbed his toe. But Miss Angela was in a country where her dictum was of little avail. As if she were the merest atom in the world, she was overruled in her decision that Douglas should not dance before royalty unless she danced with him—and inci dentally absorbed all of the spot. It was foredoomed that she was not to have the honor nor the opportunity to gloat over her prominence when she returned to London or New York. “Mademoiselle,” the manager said to her through the crack of her Sressiig Foun door on the following evening, after her number was completed and she was changing her somewhat ornate evening dress for street clothes, “send forth the young negro, Douglas. The droshky waits.” “You git out of that! Didn't I say as how he couldn't go unless | went? Who's the boss here—you or me?” The manager hurried away in pertur- bation. In another instant the door was thrust back with a smashing impact. A man in a gold laced uniform stood in the doorway. “By the order of the Czar!" he declaimed in good English. “Madame will at once submis to Car's invita. tion for her employee or passports will be held and she may not leave Rus- sia until she has satisfied the courts as to who she should disobey. An invita. tion from His Imperial Majesty is an order. If Madam still further objects she shall be arrested. The theater will be closed until the manager can make roper explanations, and Madame will po that the law is beyond her whim.” For once the combative Miss Angela | was overawed. She hastened to turn Douglas Fairfax over to the officer who took him down through the narrow alley of the stage entrance. He turned him over to a driver who at once lashed his horses to a run, and the droshky tore away for the railway station. Douglas was too surprised to the conquering of his mistress to do more than sit and wonder and to obey when told to get into a carriage that was to take him to the outlying palace. A frowning mat, immaculately dressed, sat in a corner; but Douglas did not know he was a famous Russian actor. B a g table was there and at the head of the stem sat a tired looking man with a beard.

She was in a | frightful condition to be sure, but one which water and some attention could vastly relieve. The natives here use a sort of shoe- maker's wax—black as ink— for sores of all kinds, on top of which they tie or bind a “neme” leaf, which is a bad com- bination for the sore, but as the “neme” leaf is sacred, and has been used here for ages I can’t hope to change the su- perstition during my short stay. Itis all on a par with the “garb” of the little Hindu children; they wear absolutely nothing, save a brown string tied about the place where the waist is supposed to be, and woe betide any one who mis- places or breaks that string. One pities the “kiddies” here; although they seem happy, playing with mud pies, etc, just as our home children love to do; the dif- ference is, the childhood of the Indian | girl is so pathetically short—married, usually at three years of age; a mother at twelve or thirteen; an old woman at eighteen, and at thirty a wrinkled old “hag.” In the meantime, she never de- velops past ten years, mentally, and at eighteen has to be handled just like a j child; she will cry and sulk from the most trivial causes, just as a child at home, and I am convinced that wife-beat- ing in India is almost a necessity, for of course it all results from the “purdah” system and early marriages.

The “lady” has all the hall marks of an Eastern beauty; long, oval eyes, very fair com- plexion, long silky hair, as black as any crow India can produce. She wears no nose ring, but did have a few very ele- gant ear rings; she is a Musselman, and would that you all could have seen her, for of course they wear tight flitting “pajamas” and hers were of silk; above this she wore a thin shirt, rain-bow striped, at least three inches in width, the tail of the shirt spanning her volu- minous hips in true hobble fashion. Over this was thrown a “ghuda,” a thin, yard- square piece of silk, drawn about her shoulders and face when any one ap- proached her. She, of course, brought her own furniture with her, but while using a chair sat with both feet drawn up on the seat. She has already asked me to a tea par- ty at her home, which I will surely at- tend, on the hope of seeing something new in entertaining and also in cleanli- ness, for so far my experience at native parties has been anything but satisfying as to the sanitary conditions. This woman has her servant with her so of coursc we may only prescribe; the “personal touch” is left to her own ser- vants. She was only here a few days and on our advice went home and is now trying to get thin, which job I am glad is not to be accomplished by me, for l fear the undertaking a hopeless one. (Continued next week.) Cruising for Homesteads. BY WiLL TRUCKENMILLER. In June, 1897, I went with a party of Indiana people cruising for Homesteads on the vast stretches of government land then remaining in northeast North Leaving the settled country at the east end of the Sweetwater lakes, with its big lawns and houses, groves and grain fields, we passed through township one hundred and fifty-six, and entered into a vast extent of public domain. Here, unoccupied and unused, lay town: ship after township of the most fertile land on earth, to be had for the taking; but my party of land hunters were hard to please, and the more land we looked at the more they wanted to see. Evening found us far up the middle fork of the Sweetwater, and here we made camp. “Come, Smith,you put up the tent; Beck, look after the horses; Doctor, go over in that post hole and cut dead grass for fuel; while Amziah and I get supper,” I can smell that bacon frying yet; and then under the twinkling stars we crept into our tent and went to sleep. Now Smith was an indolent man, and to save work improperly pitched the tent; in the night a cold wind came up, and he becoming chilly reached over and took my fur coat; when the uproar was over, we put Smith on the windward side of the tent as punishment. For one week we wandered up and down the government lands; traveling over four counties; and in the end my land hunters located in Rolette county, four miles west of Perth; fifty miles from the first land we looked at. On this trip I also located my father and brother Arthur, on land six miles west of Bisbee. Flourishing towns and prosperous farms now occupy that government land, rail road trains and automobiles have driven out its old inhabitants; the wild goose, ay Hie sandhill crow; the coyote and 0X. “The Ten Demandments.” “These Ten Cemandments’’ are hanging in the rooms of a certain factory: 1.

A 's work makes a long day short; FARM NOTES. —Soil is not a dead, inert substance, as many suppose. It is an active, virile force, full of energy and power, and the farmer should know his soil if he would maintain its productiveness. —It is a good plan to write to your commission merchant in advance of shipment, and ask his advice as to the best method of packing, as he knows his market much better than you do. —Buttermilk is a Very. Felatanie and wholesome drink for ren. Those who make butter on the farm have the advantage of pure, wholesome butter- milk, which is no small item in the cost of living. —Cream separators and silos are good indications of progressin farming. Dairy- ing is sure to be recognized more as a profitable line of farming because it is a means of producing f with the least loss in plant food constituents and at a minimum cost in marketing farm pro- ducts. —Let no man imagine because the tariff will likely be taken from the wool that there will no longer be profit in rais- ling a few sheep to supply the local market with mutton and the wool clip trade occasionally. The smail farmer has the opportunity. Let him make good | use of it. i —A well graded barnyard, on soil with good natural drainage, is very desirable as a site for a stable, and, will, in addi- tion to furnishing good conditions for a winter exercising yard, save much labor in cleaning cows when compared with the quagmires one sometimes sees mas- querading under the name of barnyards. —Twenty-five or thirty years ago the hog was rather affectionately referred to as “The M ge-Lifter” by the farmers of the corn belt. Since then the name has fallen into disuse, not for want of hogs, but for want of m to be | lifted. Having successfully removed the Mortgage, the hog did notgo out of busi- ness. He is still on the job. But these days he might more proper- ly be called “The Bank-Account Builder, “The Other-Farm Buyer,” or “The Au- tomobile-Buyer,” or “The Ready-Cash Provider.” In all these capacities the hog is still working for the benefit of the farmer, turning more than seventy-five million dollars a Jeu into the pockets of the farmers of Iowa alone. Forty mii- lions more into the pockets of Illinois farm.- ers. There is probably no State whose hog crop falls below a million dollars a year. And this is in the face of a scourge that has destroyed more than half a bil- lion dollars’ worth of hogs in the half- century that has elapsed since it was in- troduced into this country. While it is true that these figures are beyond any man's comprehension, they serveto show the stupendous money cost of the scourge variously known as swine-plague or hog- | cholera and to impress on the reader's | mind the money value of any method or mode of treatment that will stop the ravages of the disease. It is my purpose to sketch bnefly the nature of hog-cholera and to outline the! campaign which most of the States are now waging against it, and most impor- | tant of all to put Farm and Fireside read- ers in a position to take up the study of the subject further by giving the address of the proper official in each State to! whom the reader is u to apply for further information and necessary sup- plies. For want of space, we shall not de- scribe hog-cholera in detail. Itis enough to say that it is a deadly and highly con- | tagious germ disease that is likely to | break out anywhere at any time, because | there are so many ways in which the | erm may be carried from to place place. | t may be in the reader's own herd next | { veek! i | As will here be seen nearly three] | fourths of the States have gone into a | systematic campaign to fight hog-cholera | by what is known as the “serum treat- | ment.” i It has been found that hog cholera be- | longs to the same class diseases as | smallpox, rabies, typhoid and other germ diseases which may be prevented and often cured by giving the patient the dis- ease in a light form, which it is found defends the system against the later at- tack of the disease itself. If you will take a glass tumbler full of fresh blood and set it away in a moder- ate temperature for a few days, you will find a thick red clot floating in a light straw-colored liquid. : This liquid is called “serum” and is an essential part of every kind of blood. It seems to be the part of the blood in which the fant between life and death is constantly going on.
