WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANO.
Over th chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted a mnlody no one knew;
And the woman stopped and her babn she
tossed,
And thought of tho ono she had long since
lost,
And said, as her teardrops back she forcod,
"I hate the wind In the chimney."
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one know,
And the children mid. as they cloeer drew,
" 'Tis some witch that Is cleaving the black
night through,
'Tis a fairy trunipot that just then blew,
And we fear the wind in the chimney."
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat on his hearth bolow,
Said to himself: "It will surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wsgos low,
And I'll atop tho leak in the chimney."
Over tho chimney the night wind sang,
And clmntod a melody no ono knew;
But the pout listened and smiled, for he
AVos man and woman and child, all threo,
And said: "It is God's own harmony.
This wind wo hear In the chimney."

THE MW TEACHER.
"A Yankeo school teacher, ch?" said
Johnny Bligh. "You'll see how soon
we'll pitch him out of doors! I Mow
Western men is cood enough for us !"
"John, don't talk so," said his step
mother, a nigu-siiouiucrca, 1 reck led
woman, with watery bluo eyes and a
chronic drawl.
But she smiled as sho said it, and a
lninuto or so later tho boy heard her
telling a neighbor who had "stcnucd in"
to borrow a postage stamp and a sheet
01 paper, "wnat a lino spirit our Johnny
has."
'I guess likely you behave yourself,
Jack," said Gilbert, tho big brother, who
was mending harness out in the shed,
when John began to air his boasts out
there, "or else you'll get a first-class
thrashing when you como back."
"We don't want no Yanks foolin'
round here." said John, sullenly.
"Our folks was Yanks aforo they was
westerners," sago'y observed Gilbert.
"All the same, though, I wish Joo Hol
ley'd got the place instead o' this Rhode
Island follow. Joe's a good neighbor,
and he's got a right smart o' book
learniu'."
"Oil," said John, leaning both elbows
on the shed window, "why don't you go
in for schooliu'i"
"licckon I've got enough to pass in a
crowd," said Gilbert, boring a series of
notes in a cuecs: strap.
"No great, thcuyh" retorted John.
"You can read and you can write and
that's about all."
"I've always had something else to
think of when decstrick school was
open," said Gilbert, composedly. "Times
has becu brisk since father died. But
we've pretty nie;h squared up tho work
now, and if this Yank is protty middlin'
smart, I may take a turn at my books
some time in the winter. I've always
thought 1 should like to see Into what
they call geometry. Joe Hollcy cau't
teach that I"
"No mora can tho Yank, I don't
reckon," said disaffected John.
Evidently his thoories and those of tho
new teacher samo into active conflict, for
tho uext day, tho first of the school
quartor, ho camo blubbering homo at
noon.
"Teacher's took nwuy my books, nnd
won t let mo liov' my dinner-basket ;"
said he., "And I'm hun-n-n-gry !"
"Tho poor crceturl" whined Mrs.
Bligh, instinctively cutting a gigantic
wedgo of pumpkin pie, and looking
arounu ior tuo cueceo.
"Don't stop or that now, mother,"
said Oilbert, setting his teeth together.
"Como with mo, Johu. We'll look into
this business."
Never was milo moro rapidly traversed
thau that expanso of dreary pines and
sere grass that lay botween tho distri-t
school house and the Bligh farm. John,
running with all his breathless might,
could scarcely keep pace with his
brother's long, swinging strides.
Gilbert's face was elarkj his eyes
sparkled ominously. John glanced at
him now and then with scarcely subduod
awe.
"Gil's proper mad," he said to himself.
"And when Oil's mad it means suthiu'."
Arrived at the littlo red brick build
ing at the cross roads, Bligh pushed tho
door opeu aud strode fiercely in.
"Now, then," said ho, "what's this
about bullying littlo Jack Bliirhi I'll
know the reason of it, or I'll - --"
Ho stopped abruptly. Instead of tho
tall, ungainly Yankee whom he had ex
pected to see behind tho dusk, a trim,
pretty young girl, with jet-black hair
and u complexion liko a ripe peach, roso
from the pedagogical chair.
"Well," said she, composedly, "what
is wanting? Do you know, young man,
that it is the custom in civili.ed coun
tries to knock at tho door before you
como in? Children," to tho littlo Hock,
who, with one accord, had raised their
heads, "all this does not in tho least
concern you. Mind your lessons. John
Bligh, take your scat."
"I won't:" blustered Johnny, em
boldened by tho presence of his tall
brother. "Gimme my dinner basket.
Lemme havo my books."
"I wai.t to know," began Gilbert
Bligh, "what right you have "
Miss Hoot "limaia Abigail Boot," it
was in the school certiticato raised a
warning lingor.
"Silencoi" sho said. "Leave this
room at once! 1 will not havo my dis
cipline interfered with!"
"1 won't!" again bawled the bollig
erent Johnny.
Tho children held their breath.
Miss Itoot took in tho situation ut
once, and briskly seizing the young
rebel by the coat-collar, walked him
into the bouk-c'.oset aud turned the key
in the door.
Gilbert advanced to jvscuo him, but
whilo ho stood chivalrously unwilling to
lay violent hands on a woman, ,jiss
lioot turned upon him and to.jk him by
tho wrist, as if ho had been a child.
'Did you hear 1110 to 1 you to go:"
said she; and put him "out at tho door
without further ceremony.
A thrill ran through tho littlo audience.
Tl;o si'hool-ina'din Inid triumphed over
la-vlo.-s Johnny Bligh, and afterward
concjueie l iiia big brother. llor rulo
was thoroughly established now; there
would be no further fear of revolt.
Calmly Miss Hoot returned to the
littlo wooden platform upon which stood
bcr chair and desk.
"Now, Feter Dorscy," said sho, "you
may givo mo tho boundaries of South
Carolina over again."
And businoss wont on just as it had
dono before.
"By Gcorgo!" muttered Gilbert Bligh,
outsido, "ain't sho a plucky littlo
thing! Well, I supposo I may as well
go home. I reckon Jnck will have to
work out his own salvation, for all of
me. How thore black eyes did snap,
though I"
To Gilbert's infinlto amazement
somewhat to his discomfiture when ho
camo in at night from a horseback ride
to tho six-milo distant postollico, ho
found Miss Boot sitting at tho domestic
fireside.
"Gil," snid Mrs. Bligh, uneasily,
"here's tho school-ma'am come to
board out her week. It was Widow
Dunn's week by rights, but they've got
the dumb-agcr over there, and Mowed
they'd ruthor she'd come hero first.
School-ma'am, this is my eldest son or
least ways my husband's son. I never
had none o' my own, but I set a deal o'
store by Glbert and John."
Gilbort Bligh bowed rather awkwardly-
Miss Boot roso up and dropped a
dainty littlo courtesy, liko a slim young
hael-bush swayed by tho wind.
"I hopo you don't bear malice," said
she, half-smiling, while a soft pink flush
rose to her check. "You see, it was ab
solutely necessary for mo to enforce dis
cipline, and really you were sailing un
der piratical colors now, wore you
not?"'
"I was altogether wrong," said Gil
bert, reddening also, . "I beg your par
don 1"
"Which John has already done," said
Miss Boot, resuming her seat and hor
Knitting work. ".Johns not n bad rel
low, after all, when onco you appeal to
his reason and common sense We shall
got along capitally after this."
"lie hadn't no business to sass the
f choolma'am," said Mrs. Bligh, who was
bustling around to get out the best china
ior tea. "alia sarved nun right when
she shet him up in tho pantry where tho
slates an' tho big dictionary was kcp'.
And he won't do it again; if ho does,
he'll got a good latherin' to hum, that I
can tell him!"
John, who was roasting red apples in
tne not ashes, chuckled, lie knew well,
from long experience, that his step
mother's bark was many degrees worse
than her bite.
"Mo and tho schoolma'am are good
friends now," said he. "I .axed pardon
afore all the boys, and sho promised to
lend mo '.Masterraau Beady' to read
ni ter I'm dono my sums at night. And,
Gil, bIio knows geometry and them
things like a book. And sho says she'll
show you without your go in' to school
and 8ettiu' among the boys that is littler
than you be."
Onco more Gilbert colored, but Miss
Hoot knitted quietly on.
"I shall be glad to boot use," said
sho.
"I wonder where you learned all this !"
remarked the young man awkwardly.
"I am a graduate of Tassel College, in
Khode Island," said Miss Boot. "They
lay special stress on mathematics there."
Gilbert sat u-owu, staring moodily at
tho tiro. Here was ho, a strong, muscu
lar giant, six feet high, aud broad
shouldered to correspond there she sat,
round, rosy and dimpled, a mere dot of
a woman, yet how much more sho knew
than he did I
"She must despise mo," ho thought,
uneasily tugging at his rich brown mus
tache. "She can't holp it! Such a
dumb-head as I must seom to her. Yet
how pretty and soft-spoken sho is."
Foor (iilbert! Ho was very wretched
that night, becauso Miss Boot know
geometry and he did not.
Yet what a vague happiness it was to
oe under tne samo rool with her!
if Gilbert had only known it, he was
falling in love with Emma Boot.
Tho school-ma'am stayed two weeks
at the Bligh farm, because the Widow
Dunn's "nger" stubbornly held on; and
toward tho end of her sojourn, there
camo out one of those terrific rainstorms
that sometimes sweep the Western
slopes.
"I'm going to hitch up old Sorrel aud
go after Miss Boot," said Gilbert, at
noon. "The Bed Bridge fouudations
are pretty nigh washed away, and I'll
havo to bring her around by Fiuey
Point."
"I Mow it's a good idcar," said Mrs
Bligh, scratching her head with a knit
ting needle. "I'm glad you thought
on't it."
But cither he had miscalculated old
Sorrel's rnto of speed over the muddy
roads, or elso the family clock was
wrong; for wheu ho reached the red
school-house, it was closed and looked
and Miss Boot wns gone.
He drovo at railroad rate to overtake
her, but just on tho edgo of tho river ho
saw that he was too late.
The flimsy timbers of tho bride had
given way beneath her weight, aud she
was struggling in the black waters !
"tiilbert oh, Gilbert savo mo!"
Through tho rush of the swollen
stream, tho roaring of tho wind, her
frenzied cry reached his ears.
He Dung olf his heavy boots, his
clinging coat, and jumped into the
river. Aud ns ho did so, an odd fancy
eddied across his brain.
Geometry was of no use hero. Mathe
matics could be of no avail. It was a
man's strength, an expert's skill, a hero's
heart that counted now! Yes, ho was
her ccjual more than her equal at last !
"Is sho dead; Emma? For heaven's
sake, speakl"
"Dead!" rumbled old Abraham Gay
lor. "No more'n you be. Look ut tho
color comiu' back into her lips. But I
say, though, it was a narrow squeeze of
it, one time. That current's powerful
strong, aud the bridge timbers was
sweeping dowu on yo like a thousaud o'
brick. It's a good thing you knowod
how to swim like nu otter, Oil Bligli.
Yes, you'ro safe at home! I brung ye
both back wrapped iu all the blankets
my ole woman had. That's your own
firelight you'ro stariu' at"
"After all, it was only a drenching, a
fright aud a chill," said Gilbert, that
dusk, as they sat by the tire, when Mrs.
Bligh had gone out to feed tho late
brood of chickens, and Johnny was in
the shed trying to build a ship that
should be liko the one described in
"Mastorman Keady's" fascinating pages.
Emilia shuddered.
"I have beeu rescued from the very
verge of tho grave," said sho; "and by
you, Gilbort. Gilbort!" looking wist
fully up into his faco.
"Well!"
"Will will you teach mo to swim?
You nro so strong, so noble, and I am so
weak and ignorant. Oh, Gilbert, after
this you wilt be my princo among men !"
"Kmma, my love, my darling 1"
That was how it happened. Tbcro
was no formal proposal nor acceptance
only those words only a lover's kiss,
a shy girl's joyful nestling to the side of
him whom she had regarded ashcr heart's
master; and so tlicy were engaged.
The people of bed Hollow expressed
themselves diflorently on tho subject.
"Gilbert Bligh hasn't no book-larnin',"
said Sijuire Peters; "nnd this young wo
man's a gradooato of Tassel College.
Don't sco how she came to fancy him."
"That don't signify," said Widow
Dunn. "He's mortal smart, and owns a
good patch o' land right on tho farmin'
llats; but I only hopo they'll live happy
together. If 1 was a man, I wouldn't
dare to marry a gal that had put me
outer tho sdiool-'us. Sho must hev a
temper."
But neither Gilbert nor Emma had any
misgivings and, after all, they were
the chief persons concerned. Saturday

Licorice Culture
Largo quantities of licorice are annu
ally imported into tho United States,
and there is no doubt that tho soil and
climate of Florida aro well suited to its
production. But there aro many other
crops more likely to engage the atten
tion of cultivators of the soil at present.
Still, it is well to learn something of
this.
Licorico is propagated liko horse
radish by means of root slips, which are
rcmovod from tho main root, Tho soil
must bo we!l fertilized nnd thoroughly
broken to the depttt of three feet to
attain the best results. This great depth
is necessary to encourage the roots" to
grow downward to escape the intenso
heat not only of oue but several hot sum
mers, as it takes three or four years to
protect tho roots for market, during
which time tho plant must receive con
stant and careful cultivutiou with the
prong hoo.
If weakened and checked in growth
by insuiiicient preparation of tho soil,
waut of manure or careless culture, tho
plants are liablo to the attack of the
red spider, to their serious if not fatal
injury.
Lay oil the rows two feet opart, and,
after cutting tho root slips into sections
of live or six inches, plant them in
vertical holes made with a dibbie six
teen inches apart, observing to thrust
them several inches below tho surface
and cover them.
As tho growing season closes each
autumn, and the leaves turn yellow, the
stems should be cut down and removed,
and a liberal coating of manure given ns
a top dressing. Apply well-decayed
barnyard mauure composed with rich
hammock (top) soil.
if tho plants nave been well caret! for
the roots may bo large enough in three
years to harvest for market, though four
years is not uncommon. Harvesting is
unite a tedious job, and on account of
the depth two or three feet has to bo
dono with a spade.
Wheu dug the sido roots, used for
propagation, are cut olT and tho main
roots aro washed, dried, and tied in con
venient sized bundles. Florida Agri
culturist. Amphibious Youngsters at Aden.
As six sturdy Arab boatmen rowed tis
ashore, writes Thomas Stevens to the
New York World from Aden, Arabia,
there came swarming about our larger
craft a tleet of tiny cockle-shell boats.
These boats are little bigger than the
half-shell of the annual prize pumpkin
nt Topeka or Indianapolis, ana each is
paddled by a slim young Somali boy,
who sits iu tho bottom. These young
sters are tho famous divers of Aden, who
gain a livohood by diving for coins
tossed into the sea by steamship passen
gers curious to witness their perform
ances. Toss asixpeuco carelessly into
the sea, and as it touches tho water
"flop, flop, flop" go from threo to a
dozen of these diiuinutivo divers head
foremost after it. Before you ccn count
six they nro ba' k into their boats, the
lucky one grinning a broad grin as he
displays the coin preparatory to stowing
it away in his check.
These youths teem strangely liko hu
man fro. s, built chiefly of arms and legs,
as they flop into the water and clamber
with astonishing case back into their
tiny cralt. Everybody wonders why
the sharks, which aro numerous here,
don't gobblo up theso daring young
amphibians. Oue of them would just
about make a good mouthful for a Bed
Sea shark. Strango to say, they are
never molested. A ono legged Somali
of forty or sc is pointed out to the tour
ist on tho streets as a former diver and a
victim of Mr. Shark's voracity, but ho is
the only case of tho kiud known to tho
city. Some say tho boys are too tpuick
for tho sharks, and that tho latter, hav
ing found it out years ago, no longor
pay any attention to them. Others as
sert that, like tho crocodiles and the buf
faloes of the Indus, tho Somuli boys and
tho sharks get along so well togother
that they actually fraternize at times,
and that the former have been known
to dive under a shark and pat him fa
miliarly on tho stomach. However nil
this may be, the littlo black fellows aro
quite fearless, ami accidents from sharks
are singularly rare.
Paper Powder.
At tho lloyal Powder Factory, in Bel
gium, a new gunpowder is being made.
They call it poudrepupier, or paper
powder, and it is said that 11 charge of
two uud ouo-hulf grammes (thirty-niuo
grains) gives, iu a rii'e of small calibre,
an initial velocity of 0U0 yards to the
ball. This is equal to, if it does not
beat, tho l.ebel powder. The additional
advantages are attributed to it of not
smearing tho barrel, of produciug no
smoke aud of causing uo recoil.
A ( lilcken Eccentricity.
An Ohio poultry raiser has made a

Rejuvenating Old Furnltnro.
Old furniture that has a dull, greasy
look should bo rubbed with turpentine
and then polished with any good polish.
The improvement in its appearance will
well repay you for the trouble. White
spots on furniture can be removed by
wetting a piece of flannel .with turpen
tine nnd then rubbing tho spot hard. It
may rcquiro several applications of tur
pcutino nnd considerable patience and
strength for tho rubbing for some obsti
nate places, but the worst spot will yield
intimo. if the white spot was caused
by the spilling of an alcoholic substance,
it will be easy to efface it; but heat and
eome other agents makes marks which
aro more diilicult to obliterate. House

Ten Good Things to Know.
' That cool rain water and soda will
remove machine grease from washable
fabrics.
That ripo tomatoes will reinovo ink
and other stains from white cloth, also
from the hands.
That a tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with white clothes will aid in the
whitening process.
That boiled starch is much improved
by the addition of a little sperm salt or
gum arabic dissolved.
That kerosene will soften boots and
and shoes that have been hardened by
water and render them pliable as new.
That salt will curdle new milk; hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc.,
the salt should not bo added until tho
dish is prepared.
That clear boiling water will remove
tea stains aud many fruit stains. Pour
the water through the stain, nnd thus
luevent it spreading over the fabric.
That kerosene will make tin tea-kettles

SPANISH-AMERICAN "FUN,"
A BULL FIGHT BEFORE TITS PRESI
DENT OF SANTO DOMINGO.
Tortnrlnsc " Enraged Animal for
the Pleasure or the Populnce
A Matador's Mishap.
Arriving at the bull ring, says a writer
in the New York Herald in an account of
a bull fight in Santo Domingo, we found
the fun had already begun, tho sombra,
or fifty cent seats, were filled with
soldiers, sailors, artisans in short, the
people; tho palcos, or boxes, were all
occupied by the gentry, foreigners and
merchants. In tho chief box was Presi
dent Hereoux, or, as he likes to be
called, "Lili." t
Tho first glimpno at tho ring w ust
like tho first look at a freshly opened
raisin box. There they were, the four
traditional Spaniards, in pigtails, round
caps, kneo breeches, braided jackets and
crimson shawls, teaning an unfortunate
bull. After some pretty narrow escapes
from the vicious lunges of the homed
brute, theso four gave way to two
picadors, each armed with a pair of steel
shod rolls, not unlike closed Japanese
parasols wrapped with ribbons a la barber
pole. The bull went forward to welcome
them with lowered horns and tail in air.
Ono handsome young Andalusian stood
erect and perfectly motionless, with
both darts h.cld high above his head,
until the bull's horns were apparenly
within six inches of his chest. Then,"
with the rapidity of lightning, he
plunged his two parasols into tho mad
dened brute's neck, just nbaft of his
horns, and sprang to ono side, where ho
lighted a cigar and watched with non
chalance the bull chasing his (up to this
time) innocent companion around the
ring. Before the circuit wns mado his
bullship was still further adorned with
two more flaunting barber poles in his
neck.
The picadors then retired amid deaf
ening plaudits and the matador, a dapper
little chap armed with a thin, short
sword and bristling with gold lace,
strolled into the ring. By this time the
bull was mad clear through, thero was
no one else in the ring, nnd one would
have thought thero was plenty of room
for the two, but tho bull acted as if he
felt crowded. The Spaniard unwound a
red silk scarf from his waist and shook
it at the bull, who, of course chsrged
him. Failing to puncture the man he
did tho next best thine he captured
the scarf. Iu the Spaniard's effort
to regain tho fcarf, his feet slipped
and he fell on his knees, witli the
bull two feet behind him. Everybody
except the natives and foreign womeu
turned their heads away, but the only
ripping dono was on the Spaniard's
breeeches. One horn had caught him iu
these and ripped through to waistband.
The man landed full length on his face
in the sand, where he lay for a minute
with tho angry bull standing over mm,
waiting for another chance at his fallen
foe, but tho banderilleros and tho pica
dors were soon in tho ring, and by the
use of their red flags and voices drew the
bull's attention, and tho "killer" arose
bv far the coolest man in sight.
The rent in his unmentionables and
his soiled velvet iacket might and proba
bly did annoy him somewhat.but if he felt
any timidity about being lett aiocewitn
the bull again he didn't show it; on tho
contrary, he waved tho men out of tho
ring and advanced to tho centre with
his sword in ono hand and scarf iu the
other.
When he saw his chance he allowed '.
scarf to gently drop over tho bull's hc:u.
and stepping one pace to the rear plunged
his sword into the tawny hido, and with
out a second look at the bull to seo the
tho effect of his thrust, walked forward
to tho ring side bowing his acknowledg
ments of the vociferous applause. Canes,
Panama hats, fans, parasols and coins
fell at his feet, ana ono enthusiastic na
tive tried to throw my hat into the riug,
and ho would had ho been a little strong
er in his arms. All theso articles were
passed up to their owners except the
coin, wmcn must nave looicu up a
hundred dollars or moro. There was at
least one gold piece picked up iu front
of the Executive box. No attention had
been paid tho bull, but he was thero all
the time with the sword through his
heart. On receiving his death blow he
had reclod forward a few steps, aroppeu
on his knees and fallen over ueaa witn
out losing a drop of blood except from
the banderillos iu his neck. A pair of
mules wero brought in, the carcass
dragged off, tho band struck up "La
I'aloma," and 1 had seen all tho bull
fighting necessary for tho remainder of
this life.

THHEE KlcSES OF FAREWEU.
Three, only throe, my darling, '
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know,
When we kissed because we loved each other,
Pimply to taste love's sweet,
And lavished our kisses as summer
Lavishes heats;
But as they kiss whose hearts aro wrung
When hope and fear are spent.
And nothing i left to give except
A sacrament!
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain ;
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again.
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How tho written words are so much colder .
Than eye and hand. .
I kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before It comes,
For our love'6 sake.
Tho second kis, my darling,
Is full of joy's sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always,
We always will.
We shall reach until wo foot oach other5,
Past all of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place.
The earth is full of messengers
Which love sends to and fro;
I kiss thee, darling, for ell joy
Which we shall know!
The last kiss, O my darling!
My love I cannot see
Through my tears, as I remember
What it might bo.
We may die and never see each other,
Die with no time to givo
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they may not see
Who seek our dying breath
This oue last ki.ss, my darling,
Seals tho seal of death.
