MEMORIES. Ob, for a stretch of country,dear, A tree and a brook and a hill. With you sittiug close beside mo, dear, Singing sweet love songs still. Just as you did in the days gone by, The days of long ago, love's young dream made everything seem A paradise here below. Oh, for a stretch of country, dear, With a meadow and winding lane, Where, strolling together, I told you, dear, Successes I hoped to attain. Just as I did in the days gone by, The days of long ago, As beneath skies of blue, we pledged love anow, Our future all aglow. Oh, for a stretch of country, dear, With its clover and fields of rye, That I might retrace our footsteps, dear, With many a sorrowing sigh. And dream o'er again of tho days gone by, For, oh! I loved you so, When down through tho heather, we wan dered together, In days of long ago. —James T. Sullivan, in Boston Globe. j DORR'S SACRIFICE, j She had whispered, "Yes, Jack, I love you!" in response to his ques tion, his kisses were still warm on her lips, their hearts were beating in unison, though not so tumultuously as before, and now that the first rapture *nd thrill were over they were asking questions, and making their little con fessions, after the manner of lovers on the threshold of an engagement. "How many times have I been in love before? Now, Jack, do you think that is a fair question?" sho asked, meeting his look with a roguish glance. "Why, certainly it is, Dora," he re plied, earnestly. "You say you love me, so it doesn't really make any difference about the others; they're done for now; but I think I ought to know. Still, if there are so many of them " "Please stop, Jack! I won't have you saying such dreadful things, and with that look on your face!" she in terrupted, playfully placing her hand over his mouth,but quickly withdraw ing it when he attempted to kiss it. "How dare you!" she exclaimed, "after the way you've been talking!" "Well, if you don't want me to say things why don't you answer my question?" "Must I, Jack?" "I am afraid you must, my dear." "And you won't hate me after I tell, will you?" "Well " " 'That depends,' you are going to say. You needn't hesitate so long; I can read your thoughts." "Can you? That's convenient for you, I'm sure. I wish I could read yours, then I'd know the answer to my question." "Would you really like to know?" "Why, v'es, or I shouldn't have asked it." "Well, Jack, if it will relieve your mind any to know it,you nave no pre decessors." "Are you sure, Dora?" "Yes, Jack. You are tho lirst and only." "Thanks, awfully, Dora! I'm glad to hear it; and now that question is Bettled we will " "Oh, no, my boy; you don't get off' quite so easily as that! I want your confession now. About how many dozen times have you been in love, j>ray tell?" Jack Vernon winced. He hadn't counted on this, exactly. "Come, young man, you are now on the witness stand, sworn to tell the truth, thfc whole truth, and nothing but the truth!" she continued, banteringly. "Must I?" said Jack, helplessly re peating her question of a few min utes before. "I am afraid you must, my dear," mimicked Bhe. "But I am afraid you will hate me after I confess." "Is the record, then so long?" "No; it is a very short one. I have never loved but once—before." "And she—she refused you?" "No,I never asked her." "Why not? You see, I want the whole story now." "Because of pride. She was a wealthy heiress, I a penniless lawyer, with my fame and fortune yet to make. I loved her; I am not ashamed to say it; she was a woman that one couid not help loving; she was all to me then that you are now, and " "And more. Goon and say it, Jack; I want the whole truth." "No, I won't say that, but she was the tirst, and love was a new sensa tion to ine then,and if I had been her equal in wealth and station I might— but, pshaw! What is use of telling Vou all this? It is all over now. Hel lo ve was not for me. I have put it aside —and, besides, I have you. But why are you looking so sober, Dora? Have I confessed too much? Yon wanted the whole truth, you know." "Yes,and I am glad you were brave enough to tell it. How long ago was it that—that this happened?" she faltered. "Three years." "And her name?" she asked, in low tones. "Need I tell that?" "Yes, please," said Dora, faintly. "Edith Burton." Dora's face grew suddenly pale. "I thought, perhaps, she was the one," she said, in a voice that Jack scarcely recognized. "Why, do you know her?" he ex claimed, in surprise. "I used to room with her at board ing school," answered Dora. She had regained control of her voice now. "She is a good, noble woman, far bet ter than I am,and I don't wonder that you love her." "You mean loved," corrected Jack. "My love for her is in the past tense, not the present." " 'True love can never die,' "quoted Dora, gravely. "Wasn't it the divine William who said that? But there, Jack, we have talked enough of love for one evening. Don't' you think so?" "But you havenlt promised to marry me yet." "You didn't ask me that question. You simply asked me if I loved you, and you got your answer, I believe." "And I am' to take the rest for granted, eh?" "Well, no; nothing should be taken for granted in this world. I'll give you your answer, but not now. I think I'd better send it to you in writing." "My! My! How formal we are get ting all at once! But, after all, I think I prefer it that way; then I can carry your note next to my heart for a mascot until you are mine for good and all. Shan't I run over here for it tomorrow morning? I'm anxious to get it as soon as possible." "No; I'll mail it to your office in New York." "All right, Dora; and now, just one before I go!" He bent down and planted a kiss on her unresisting lips. "Thanks, dear! Now, please forget that there ever was any other girl, and don't look quite so sober the next time I call. I'll be over again Wed nesday evening, if nothing happens. Good-night, Dora!" "Good-night, Jack!" When Jack Yernon reached his office in Temple court next morning he found Dora Stevens' note awaiting him. Tearing it open he read; BBOOKLVN, N. Y., 9.30 p. m. March 15. Dear Jack: The love I expressed for you an hour ago I find has turned to pity, and I am going to make you happy by sending to you the only woman you have a right to marry. After hearing your confession, and knowing what I do, I could never bo happy with you. I know you think you are in love with ine. but the tendrils of your heart nre still entwinod around that early love, and— and she needs you more than I do. I told you she was my schoolmate years ago; I still regard her as one of my dearest friends, and, though we have never met since we graduated, we have always kept up corre spondence. I encloso my latest letter from her, received two months ago. I did not know until tonight who tho man was that she loves. I know now,and I wish you both all the joy that life in each other's society can bring you. Goto her. Jack, and make her happy—and my blessing and prayers will go with you. Not good night this time, but good-by! liver your friend, DOHA. The inclosure ran as follows: XtocHKSTKB, N. I'., Jan. 14. My Dear Dora: No, I am not engaged yet, and never expect to be. I have had plenty of chances to confer ray hand and fortune especially the latter—upon aspiring appli cants, but 1 have declined them all. I have never met a man 1 really cared for. except one, and I believe lie cared forme at a time. Perhaps he does yet; but,alas! he discovered that 1 was an heiress, and then pride ( lie was a young lawyer, with plenty of brains and ambition, but no money) held him back. Ho loved me; my heart told me that; but fortune-hunters were fluttering around me. like moths around a candle, and I suppose lie was afraid if he spoke he would bo classed with the rest—just as though the alchemy of a woman's love oould not detect.' the gold'nmoug the dross! "Ah. well! he is gone, and there's no use mourning for the past. 1 cannot help sigh ing. though, to think that the very money which attracted so many society moths should drive away the only man 1 ever loved! There, Dora, you h:ivo my secret, and know why I shall evermore a maiden be— but please don't tell. Wishing you a lover true, some time, dear Dora ( not being bur dened with wealth, you won t have so many unworthy ones as 1) and hoping to hear from vou soon, I remain, with oceans of love, yours sincerely, EDITH BUBTON. Late that afternoon Dora Stevens received the following brief message from Jack Vernon: My Dear Dora: Many thanks for your kind note and the iuclosure. There are at least two angels left on earth. Vou are one of them. May heaven over guard and bless you! Yours gratefully, -s JACK. I'. S.—l start for Bochester at once, and will mail this on my way to the train. And as Dora read these words, she smiled one little,wee ghost of a smile, and whispered: •'Better my heart than hers!"— Chicago Record. A CREEN GREENLAND. Striking Kvldence* oft» Former Luxuri ant Tropical Growth. Two eminent scientists connected with the Smithsonian institution here at Washington, who accompanied the Peary expedition to the Polar regions, but who were bent on business of their own, have just returned from the wilds of West Greenland, bringing with them very valuable specimens for the National Museum. In a region of everlasting ice and snow Professor David White and Professor Schuchert have been exploring luxuriant-tropical forests, beautiful which make up the chief part of tlieir collec tion. Fossils of the tulip tree, the poplar, the magnolia, the willow, the eucalyptus, the palm, and the curious tropical dwarf called "cycad" —all these ami many more are among the remains of an ancient age—when Greenland was in truth "a green land," that have now been discovered by these scientists and their party. Greenland was once upon a time a tropical country, That is proved ab solutely by the remains of an exten sive tropical flora. Whore now a sheet of solid ice over a mile thick cov ers mountain and valley, and mighty frozen rivers called glaciers make their way to the sea, and hatch icebergs, there was in earlier days, a verdure clad wilderness of luxuriant vegeta tion. But all this disappeared from the face of the earth several millions of years ago, and only their fossil re mains are found buried in tho strata of the rocks. The finding of the oldest hardwood plant in the world was perhaps the most interesting discovery of the ex pedition. It wasaspeciesof poplar,and the tree grew during tho epoch already described-tliat is to say, in all probabil ity, not less than 5,000,000 years ago. Apparently at that time the climate of Greenland was much like that of our Gulf states today. All the evidences seem to point to the conclusion that climates all over the world in that au cient period were pretty much th« same. The same plants grew contem poraneously in Greenland and in Cal ifornia, in Spitzbergen and in Virginia. There was a uniformity of vegetation in all parts of the earth. Nobody can say just why this was, though several theories have been advanced to ac count for it. One theory is that the atmosphere in those flays was heavilj charged with watery vapor, so thai warmth was readily distributed through it, and the sun's rays did no! have a chance to strike the earth di rectly, making differences in climat« by the degreo of their slant. In tlu course of time the atmosphere thinned gradually, and then came climatic va nations marking a series of zones around the earth.—Washington Path Under. THE MOON TO BLAME. Theories of Ocean Titles— Sim Lcm Power ful Than the Earth's Satelite. Professor G. H. Darwin, in his lec ture in the Lowell Institute course, explained the causes of daily high and low tides. "When the moon is ovei any spot on the earth the water is drawn up toward it by the force it ex erts, and at the point directly oppo site, on the other side of the earth, the water is also raised in the form of a big wave," said Professor Darwin. "Between these points, on either side of the earth's circumference,the ocean is depressed, the moon thus tending to form a spheroid of the waters, and giving rise to two high and two low tides in the course of one revolution of the earth. "To understand the bi-monthly spring and neap tides we must take into account also the effect of the sun on the oceans. The force exerted by the suu is 26-59ths as powerful as that of the moon, and when there is a full moon or a new moon the force of both bodies is acting together, and gives rise to the condition known as spring tides. But when the moon is half way between new and full, waxing or waning, the force of the sun is actiug at right angles to that of the moon. As the sun exerts about half the power of the moon over the tides, the differ ence between the effect of the two act ing together and in opposition is about as three to one, so that the tides aris ing from the conflict of the force of sun anil moon are only one-third as great an the spring tides. These minor tides are called neap tides. "The observed fact that high tides j do not occur when the moon is over- i head, but several hours later, was ex plained as due mainly to the compara- j tive shallowness of the oceans and to j the different velocities of all points on j the earth's surface between the maxi- | mum of *25,000 miles a day at the ' equator and zero at the poles."—Bos ton Transcript. Cats That Hunt Snakes. A peculiar story of cats hunting and j capturing snakes alive conies frbm Norfolk. A business man was at ahouse there recently, when he was surprised to see sleek oats coiue up to the door step, each having a live snake iu its month. The snakes averaged about a foot , and a half long, the largest one being ! in the possession of a tine yellow cat j and over two feet in length. The cold weather had taken some of the life out of the rejitiles, and to make them less vigorous, the oats seemed to have filled their skins with a number of small punctures by biting them. The snakes were dropped upon the ground and toyed with by the eats, but not by throwing them about as they do rats and mice. Instead they would staud staring at their prey, while the lattei held up their heads and stuck out their tongues. Then the cats would jump upon their victims and again put thei • teeth through their skins. A fourth cat made its appearance while the other three were playing with the snakes, and tried hard to have some one of them allow him to take part in the fun, but it was angri ly repulsed every time it attempted to interfere. The four cats belong to the same woman, and she said that hardly a day passes since summer be gan that they have not brought snakes into the yard. The biggest catch which the foor-footed snake hunters have taken from the woods aud swamps near the house was one of about a month ago, when the big yellow cat walked into the kitchen with a four foot snake wrapped about its body. The cats seem capable of rendering the snakes almost powerless without lulling them, and, after playing with them till they are satisfied, kill tliem. —Hartford Couraut. Floatlng: / |:p a lilver. It was a vexed question in IS9O whether the Pilcomayo river, which flows f#r hundreds of miles from the Bolivian Amies to the Paraguay,might be used as'a commercial highway from Bolivia to the ocean. Our country man, Captain Page, settled this ques tion so conclusively that 110 further effort to utilize the Pilcomayo is likely to be made ; and in this work, that cost him his life, for he died of his privations after being hemmed in for months by hostile Indians, he devised a plan for steaming up river when the water was so low that his vessel was stuck in the mud- He was determined togo still further, though his little steamer, which drew only eighteen inches, rested on the river bottom, so behind the boat he threw np an embankment of earth clear across the channel, backed itr with palm trunks and brushwood, and before long the •rwater had risen a couple of feet, and the little Bolivia was able togo on bet way four miles before she stuck again. Then another dam was built, and this process was repeated seven times, and with the aid of the dams the vessel advanced about thirty-five miles above the highest point she could reach at the natural low-water stage. —Harper't Round Table. P4E>. yARM^ Manuring Hop Vines* Hops iu recent years have been an unprofitable crop. Part of this is due to the fact thao iheir low price Las in duced neglect of the vines. A shovel ful of manure thrown over each hill wilt protect the roots from being in jured by frosi. The mainrn will also make a vigorous growth after it is mixed with the soil, as it is sure to be in spring when the hill is dug into in order to remove all surplus roots. — Boston C iltivator. Superphosphate for Turnips. It was long ago the discovery of English farmers that bone manure, as they called lime phosphate, was good for the turnip crop. This was often fed on the land where grown, and the field thus fertilized with the sheep droppings was afterward sown with wheat or other grain. Usually sheep given a turnip patch to feed down were well fed with grain or linseed meal, which made much richer manure than turnips would do. Cutters In Cow Stables. On the subject ot gutters in cow stables, there seems to be an endless variety of opinions rangingnll the way from gutters I saw in a Vermont stable deep enough and wide enough to bury a good sized cow in. I imagined that all the cows must have fallen in it at least once when young in order to keep out of it when old enough to get hurt by such a fall. This deep gut ter was some four feet in the rear of the stalls, and held three or four months accumulation of manure. But that was a dirty trick and don't count. Some people have gutters eighteen inches wide and six inches deep,while others have no gutters at all. I have often noticed that where the gutters had only a medium fall or slant that the cows never make urine enough to How out the end of the gut ter. It is always absorbed by the solid droppings and other things that get in the trough. Sometimes when the stable is short it is easier to have a gutter to shovel or shove the manure out, but if there is anything like a dozen stalls I would prefer no gutter at all, for a cow's foot often slips in it and spatters manure over everything iu reach. It makes a bad place to ac cumulate a mess for the cow's tail to rest in when she is lying down, and when made to get up for milking that tail in fly time becomes an evil to be avoided.—Home and Farm. Egg* l>y Deception, I presume many are wishing they had a poultry house or two suitable for winter egg production, but are de terred from building by the expense. They think it must be built of planed and matched lumber and painted. A carpenter would also have to be em ployed to use such material. This is all a delusion. The hen is not par ticular in regard to the appearance of her quarters, but she is sensitive to the cold. If only the cutting north winds can be shut out, and the bright sunshine from the south let into her quarters, she may be deceived and be gin laying. Ho long as she can be made to believe that spring or summer has entered her quarters she will con tinue to lay, but let the season change into fall or winter, and she ceases. This kind of deception is entirely par donable, although it may be done for selfish gain. A very warm and roomy poultry house may be built in the following manner: Set eight posts in the ground, inclosing an area sixteen feet square. Saw them off level about two feet high, and on the tops spike plates of 3x4 scantling. Upon this place a half pitch roof and roof-board it tightly. Cover with paper and shingle. Double board the gables and sides with three quarter-inch stuff, with paper between and batten. Place two windows and a door iu the end facing the south,and you have a warm, roomy building. The lumber used may be bought for $5 per thousand feet, and the build ing may be put up without the aid of a mechanic.—C. M. D., in New York Tribune. Keeping Onions In Winter. There is no difficulty in keeping onions in winter provided they are in a dry place where, if once frozen, they will stay frozen until spring. The cellar is always too warm for them. They will begin to rot and also to sprout long before spring. We have found the best place, a dry loft in the horse barn, where the onions can be spread thinly f with some hay thrown over them. The hay is not to prevent freezing. That is always expected. But once frozen, the hay is so poor a conductor that ordinary winter thaws are too short to affect them. On no account should onions be handled when they are frozen. It is sure to make them rot. But if they thaw out undisturbed they will be as fresh in spring when taken from the loft as they were when put np, and with very little loss. The white-skinned varieties are, however, very poor keepers, and this plan may not succeed with them, though it is more likely to thaa any other we know. Those who frow onion seed, and who always plant the onions lata in November or in December, throw a deep ridge of earth over them with a plow. !Of course this ridge freezes and so loes the onion beneath it, but the fevering is deep enough so that onion remains frozen all winter. Idtkis way a much better stand of onioa, can be got and much heavier seed |ian is possible where spring plantpg of onions is practiced. As the plver-skin onion grows well under tls treatment, it can probably be kept ifrozen under hay in a dry loft wher the conditions are much the same, exflpt that in the loft the onion can be M>t much dryer while it is thawing ontban it can in the soil.—American C|tivator.

For the wooien parts there is nothing better thtti Venetian red and raw linseed oil. he mixture will make a dark red.
