And they spread their working coats for him, 'Moug the grasses sweet aud low. When the >un grew high they came again. For a drink an J their bread aud meat; And in the shadow ho sleeping lay, With the sunshine on his feet; Like a child at night, ontspent with play, ne lay in slumber sweet.

That night it was Harvest Home with him; : But he went away with a smile. —./wclia E. Jiarr, in hitlejtcudcnt. hogs os GRAaa. Mr. D. W. Thomas strikes a good key in the following: If hogs have plenty of grass in summer, and about half the gTain they will cat. they will fatten rapidly; and my experience and belief are that three poands of pork can lie made from less grain in this way than one pound can be in cold weather with a hog in a close pen. The grass is cooling and loosening, and counteracts the feverish properties of grain. Another important consideration iu favor of such a diet is the cost, which is merely nominal as compared with grain alone. Free access to water and a cool, clean shade are essential to the comfort and consequent growth and thrift of the pigs. The hog delights a cool, damp local ity, is very sensitive to heat and cold, and sufiers severely from exposure to either. Any unusual exercise will be fatal to a hog that is fat, on a hot day, if he has not free access to water. Hogs are not apt to root when they have plenty of grass. The}" should be allowed to have all the grass they will eat as early in the spring as possible; and clover or I tame hay is good for them in winter. They are fond of it. Hogs that have run in grass all summer can be shut up in a pen and fed to advantage six weeks or two months, bnt no longer. A pig should never be ailowed to stop growing; in fact that rule holds good during its entire life. Dairy slops, grass, fruit and vegetables are naturally tbe principal diet for hogs in summer, and they are amply sufficient. Such diet will insure the most perfect health of the animal. I'igs during the first summer should be kept on the same, adding only so much slop, meal and graiu as are necessary to keep them in fair con dition. —/ ndinnn Farmer. l'ut in a good crop of fodder corn, sown in the row, with rows four feet apart, so as to cultivate it. Do not cut the fodder until the ears begin to glaze, when it may be put in a silo or cut down, cured and stored in the barn. Such fodder should never be stacked in the fields, as its qual ity will be injured by exposure to the suti and rains. The value of fodder is greatly influenced by the period of growth at which it is rut. If cut too soon it will con tain a large proportion of water, and if cut too late it wilj lose its suceulency. Kx perimcnts indicate that tin- proper time is when the ears are iu tin- "milky stage" but just beginning to gla/«-. The Crust-in-the-Guttor Fake. Two men were walking up Fifth Ave. the other day when one of them said,point ing to a shabbily dressed man a little way ahead; "Look at that fellow; hr is eating a crust of bread, and I just saw him pick it out of the gutter; that must be a genuine case and 1 am going to give him a quar ter." "Keep your quarter for a good cigar," replied his companion, "and watch -that rascal a few moments, and you will be glad you gave him nothing." So the two passed on and then looked back at the man in the shabby clothes. When he found that nothing was to be got from them, he stopped eating the crust and put it back in the gutter, not in the mud, but on a piece of clean, white paper, and wait ed until some other benevolent-looking per son should come near enough to see him pick it up again. "Well, well," said the man who saved his quarter, "the ways of the professional beggar are past fiudiug out." "Not at all past finding out," the other replied, "when you have seen him piny the trick twice."—New York Trillion-. Surprising Age of the Departed.

The Great Hear of Siberia. i Siberia i# commonly regarded a~ a re ' gion of ice and cold, but according to Mr ! (ieorsre K.-nnan it is. in summer time. I about as hot a country as there is on the I face of the globe. In one of his remarka- I ble Sil>eri:in narrative-, given in the ( < .■»- ! t,,m il'iffazirt Mr Kennan this- relates one of his hot weather experiences : The farther we went up the Irtes'h the hotter became the weather, and the more barren the steppe, until it was easy to im agine that we were in an Arabian or a north African desert. The thermometer ranged dav after day from 90 to 103 in the -hade: the atmosphere was roffoeating; every leaf and every blade of gra--. as far jthe eye'eoald'ri-ach. ha b<*• • i"..'■ -<■ 111 T ■ burned dead by the fierce -inshine; grent whirling columns of sand 100 to 150 feet in height swept slowls and majestically across the sun rorched plain; and we could trace the progress of a -ingle mount ed Kirghis five miles away, by the cloud of dust which hi- horse's hoofs raised from the steppe. I suffered intensely from the heat and thirst, and had to protect myself from the tierce sunshine by* .-wathing my body in three or four thicknesses of blank et. and putting a big down pillow over my leg-. 1 could not hold my hand in the sunshine ten minutes without pain, and wrapping my body in four thicknesses of heavy woolen blanketing gave me at once a -ensntion of coolness. Mine was the southern or sunny side of thetarantas, and I finally became so exhausted with the fierce heat, and had such a strange feeling of laintuess, nausea, and suffocation, th • t I asked Mr. Frost to change side- with me and give me a brief respite. He wrap ped himself up in a blanket, put a pillow over his legs, and managed to endure it until evening. Familiar as I supposed myself to be with Siberia. I little thought, when I crossed the frontier, that I should find in it a north African desert, with whirling -and columns and sunshine from which I should be obliged to protect my limbs with blankets. 1 laughed at the Russian officer in Omsk, who told me that the heat in the valley of the Irtcs'h was often so intense as to cause nausea and fainting, and who advised me not to travel between 11 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the afternoon, when the day was cloudless and hot. The idea of hav ing a sunstroke in Siberia, and the sug gestion not to travel ther in the middle of the day, seemed to me so preposterous that I could not restrain from a smile of amusement. He assured me, however, that he was talking seriously, and -aid that the symptoms which he described were peculiar effects of the Irtes'h valley heat, but it was evidently sunstroke that he had seen." See the Business Manager. There was once a long-headed man who invented a Household Utensil of such general Utility that instead of giving it a Name setting forth an Intelligble idea of its character, he called it simply a Good Thing. So Proud was he of his Good Tiling that he would not make its Existence known in the Press. "If People will not come in and ask for the Good Thing, he would say. "1 don't propose to go to the tron ble of Telling them about It. If People don't know It when they see It. they must suffer the consequences of their Blindness." When a Mortgage was foreclosed on him a little Later, the Successful Itidder Ad vertised the Good Thing in Several Pa pers, and He had great Difficulty in Em ploying a sufficient number of Men to fill the lied Wagons th it backed up at the Door.

The World Moves. Judge Morton, ot Lexington, Kentucky, recently rnled that a (nan who did not form an opinion of a case from what hi- had read in the newspaprrs was not qualified to sit in a jury box Thi- would seem to demon strate pretty conclusively that the world does move—at least the portion of it com prehended within the map of our country, where it has for long years been held that familiarity with current e\enl« was a fatal disqualification for jury service. —Go when they are told—-jockeys. —liuilt for heavy weather —lighthouses. —liiveu to head work—Hilly goats. —All on the surface—street cars. —Heal high steppers—Hurdle jumpers. —The coats of male—cut-a-ways. —The green apple makes a most telling fight after it is down.

The glass cloth of which they are made has the same shimmer and bril liancy of color as silk, and is impervious to water. —Benjamin Johnson, it is said, owns a farm in Hush Valley, I'. T , upon which he has just discovered a mime of natural shoe blacking. • An analysis of this pecu liar material shows that it contains Hi per cent, carbon. li-l per cent, aluminum, and the remainder clay. When taken out tin' material is soft and moist, and when used as a shoe blacking produces a fine polish, which is not easily destroyed. —'"At one time a woman could hardly walk through the streets of San Francisco without having every one pause to gaze on her. and a child was so rare that once'in a theatre in the same city where a woman had taken her infant, when it began t > cry, jus» a- the orchestra began to play, a man in the pit cried out.
