Rudyard Kipling is probably the
first poet to have one of his works

In Austria a law has just been
passed making it a punishable ofl'ence
for parents to take young children
into bed with them. This arbitrary

Is there anything new nuder the
nun? Yang Ya, lute Chinese ininistor
at Washington, says that bicycles
were in common use in the Flowery
Kingdom 2000 years ago, but as wo
men rode them to the neglect of theii
families the Emperor stopped the
manufacture. The bloomers, how
ever, survived, and now that bicycles
have come back even in China, there

The British population was by the
last census over thirty-nine millions,
and must at the present time be fully
forty millions. The population of
Frauee was by the last census under
thirty-nine millions. The white people
in the French colonies have not ap
preciably grown in numbers, but the
white people iu the British colonies
now number from twelve to thirteen
millions. Thus, the white population
under the British Queen at borne and
abroad is not less than fifty-two mil
lions. The Han Francisco Chronicle de
clares that New York is so fur in the
lead in the matter of foreign com
merce that no other American city at
tempts to dispute her position, but
occasionally some one is rash enough
to maintain that Philadelphia is the
greatest manufacturing centre in the
United States. There was a time
when this was true, but the New York
papers are now pointing out that the
census of 18'J0 exhibited the fuel that
the value of the manufactured pro
ducts of New York city was $777,221,
721, while in the same year the
manufactories of Philadelphia only
turned out products worth $377,234,
HG. The statistics of the census,
when examined closely by would-be
rivals, afford very little hope that the
metropolis will ever be overtaken in
the race for precedence. New York
baa first place, and is likely to hold it
permanently. From present indica
tions there is as little prospect of
rival American city surpassing New
York as there is of some provincial
Eritish city overtaking London.

O, no.Miss Emily,
dear, don t! I
urgently pleaded
41. ...;nc,i
llkS! yuB beauty
who had so im
petuously been
relieving her
mind of certain
mutters resting
somewhat heavily thereon. I was only
housekeeper at the Hall, but from long
Hid fhithful service, nnd the fact that
the girl who had just thrown herself in
such cureless grace at my feet had lost
her mother when almost too young to
remember her, I felt more privileged
than perhaps my position otherwise
would explain. Not a child of my
very own could bo nearer my heart
than was the spoiled, lovely little mis
tress of Carlton Grange. The Squire
was too busy with his chase, his
hounds and horses to spare, much time
to the treasure which in reality lay
nearest his heart. To give her her
own way, to see her always beautifully
dressed ot the head of his table, to
view with proud eye the slight, grace
ful figure perched fearlessly upon
some favorite horse, to allow no one to
cross her from her infancy here he
considered the duties of n father end
ed, and certainly, so far ns begetting a
most ardent love between the two, it
worked admirably, though, as to the
real good of my lady, I urn by no uieuus
sure.
"And why not?" sho questioned, in
answer to my protest. "I don't love
him. I Ihntehim."
She was speaking of her cousin Ar
thur, hut ns she hnibhed, tho pretty
head, which hud borne itself so defi
antly, went down on my lap, nnd the
burst of tears which followed dis
proved tho truth of her assertion.
No one could have seen the two to
gether and not acknowledged their tit
uess for each other. Although but
cousins a second time removed, a faint
likeness was perceptible, but Arthur's
mouth indicated greater firmness, and
the will which was so necessary in tho
encounters between the two. He was
the only one who did not give up to
Miss Emily, who sometimes thwarted
her, but always so gently, so tenderly,
yet, withal, so firmly, that I think
herein lay the very secret of his charm.
There was no regular engagement be
tween them, but it was an understand
ing for all that, although half the young
gentlemen in the county were con
testants for the prize, but, save a lit
tle barnilcs coquetry, she gave them
no encouragement.
I could but smile as I stroked her
pretty golden-brown hair, while yet
her head lay in my lap, at the very
April shower winch was all of grief my
darling had ever known, for, ere I hud
quite finished my few words of com
fort, applied I scarcely knew to what,
she had once more sprung to her feet,
and in a few moments I could hear
her sweet voice carolling through tho
halls, Then under my window I
heard the imperative order to the
groom: "Saddle Bess, Tom, and
bring her round nt once."
"She's hardly fit to ride, Miss, this
afternoon," the man respectfully an
swered. "She's skittish at the best of
times, and she's been so long unused
I'm most afraid she'd prove too much
for you."
"All the better," was the reckless
answer. "Bring her round nt once."
Glancing from my window ns the
voices reached my ear, I saw Mr. Ar
thur sauntering up tho walk. He
quickened his step a little, ns he over
heard the discussion, saying, very
quietly, as he approached:
"Surely, Emily, you will not be so
rash as to mount Bess to-day? Y'ou
must not think of nch a thing."
The girl turned haughtily toward
bim, surveying him a moment in si
lence; then, ns though remark were
unnecessary, turned again to the
groom :
"Do as you are bid, Toin. I will
now dress "
"Emily, for my sake!" I beard him
say iu a low tone, but the contest of
the morning in which her will had been
forced to bend made her determined
now.
"You are detaining me, Mr. Traf
ford," she answered. "I shall have
barely time for my ride."
"You must not, Emily; indeed yon
must not. My uucle would not wish
it, and in his absence I must pre
vent it."
The color flamed like a crimson rose
into the girl's cheek.
"How dare you!" she exclaimed,
stamping her Jittle foot. "How dare
you speak so to me? If you have ever
considered yours the right, it is can
celled from this moment. Heaven
belp the woman you would make your
wife I She would be your slave. Give
ber my warmest sympathies, Mr.
Trsflord; I cannot offer my congratu
lations." The young man's face flushed botly,
and he shrank from the words as from
mmm
a blow, but be bad no time to answer,
for Miss Emily bad already flown past
bim into the house, and I saw bim
turn and walk slowly to the stables.
In a few seconds more the groom
brought the pranking animal, holding
firmly to the bit while Miss Emily
sprang lightly into the saddle. She
seemed such a very feather to manage
the spirited horse, yet I could not help
the thrill of pride as I watched the
tiny hands bring her into such quick
subjection, and the straight, lithe
young figure sitting her seat to such
perfection.
The groom stood watching her anx
iously down the avenue, but I was not
surprised when she had once disap
peared from view, although greatly re
lieved to see Mr. Arthur leap into the
saddle nnd follow her. I knew, him
self unseen, he had determined to
keep her in sight, and I somehow felt
safer to know she was in his charge.
Cruel as had been her words, be loved
her too well to heed them at such a
time.
The afternoon slowly passed away.
What was it that caused such a shadow
of dread to creep over my heart?
Somehow, I could not shake it off.
From time to time I would steal away
from my other duties into my darling's
room, where everything so reminded
me of her, picking up the articles she
had thrown round in her careless
haste, and when all was in order, look
ing for something else to do to detain
me in the spot. Yet I would not ac
knowledge the real extent nnd reason
of my uneasiness, even to myself, un
til the sound of horses' hoofs rapidly
nearing the house suddenly lifted the
load I had unconsciously been carry
ing and brought me within almost a
cry of thanksgiving to the window.
Yes, there was my darling's blue
habit fluttering in the breeze. She
had returned unhurt, but the excite
ment must have been too great for hor
strength, for, even from where I stood,
I could but note the deathly pallor of
her fuce, nnd hastened down to meet
her.
Ere I reached her side I saw two of
the men, iu obedience to some hastily
issued commands, spring into their
saddles nnd ride rapidly down the
avenue. Then in another moment
Miss Emily lay almost fainting in my
arms.
"Oh, Xanno," she 'exclaimed. "I
have killed bim, and he will never,
never know how dearly I loved him."
I ill most carried tho poor child to
my room and laid her on the sofa,
noting, as I did so with a shudder, tho
two or three bright, red stains upon
her habit. What did they portend?
From tinio to time low moans es
caped her half-parted lips, and I could
but contrast her with the bright, will
ful girl who had ridden ofl' a few brief
hours before so full of hope' and happi
ness. And then, in broken words, sho
told the story. How nt a sudden turn
in the road, she had caught sight of
Mr. Arthur following her and in very
perverseness of spirit touched lightly
with her whip the animal which need
ed restraint rather than urging, then
turned her head in the direction of the
pits, a road at any time dangerous, but
now, maddened by the touch of the
whip, the mnre had taken the bit be
tween her teeth, and the little bauds
clenching the reins were powerless.
Mr. Arthur saw her peril, and, putting
spurs to his horse in reckless defiance
of harm to himself, had put him to the
leap, endeavoring, by leaving the road,
to head her off and seize her rein. It
was a race for life. A heap of stones
lav upon the road. On one side there
was barely room for a single horse to
pass. Could he reach that first, he
might save her. There wns no time to
question. By au effort almost super
human he directed his horse to tho
pass, and seized the bridle which now
lay powerless in her grasp. The mare
swerved back, his own horse plunged,
and, in some wny, how, Rhe could not
tell, he lay beneath the maddened ani
mal's feet, his head striking ou the
cruel stones. The shock had brought
the mare to reason, and it now stood
still and trenibliug. But Arthur had
saved her life by giving his.
I could but comfort the child as best
I might, when outsido came the trend
of feet, and I knew they wero bringing
their sad burden home. Pressing a
kiss on her forehead, I weut forward
to meet it, but as through my tears I
bent to look over the dear face, I, too,
almost fainted, though this time for
joy, for the great brown eyes were wide
open, and I could almost fancy smiling
into mine.
The physicians gave us little hopo
at first, however, and it was pitiful to
watch Miss Emily steal in and out of
the room where ho lay so white and
still and suffering. All her old will
fulness had gone now, and I could sae
how her heart was centered in him,
but at last we knew the best and the
worst. "Life would be spared, bnt
Mr. Arthur would be a cripple for life."
"Through me, Nanna all through
me!" she moaned forth when she heard
it. "How be must hate even to look
at me!" But I bad watched his gaze
follow her too often not to know differ
ently. I was busy one day in bis room j
think they scarcely knew I was there)
when Arthur called her to Lis side.
"I want to say someting to you,
Emily," he began; "something which
hat been a long time on my mind. You
must not reproach yourself for this.
You must not let it interfere some day
with your giving your love to a man
more worthy of it, and you must re
member no one will rejoice more than
I iu your happiness."
For a moment she stood still, her
cheek flushing ami paling: then she
threw herself at his feet. "Oh Arthur,"
she exclaimed, "wul you not take me?
Have you learned so to hate me that
all the old love has gone?"
"Gone!" be answ ered, stroking the
bright hair; "Emily, can a mau part
with thai which has becomupart of bis
soul? But, my darling, I cannot can
sent to your trying your young, joyous
life to mine."
"Arthurl Husband !"sbe whispered
softly; then I stole from the room,
knowing my presence would not be
missed, and sure my darling would win
her cause. Nor do I think, in the
many happy years which Eince then
have rolled along, leaving me an old
woman now, either bas ever regretted
that for once and the last time Miss
Emily had ber willful way. New York

Sheep-Shearing la Tennessee Mountain.
The , season for sheep-shearing in
the Tennessee mountains is a time of
great festivity and rejoicing. A multi
tude of shearers, washers and other
attendants are employed. The shear
ing begins on the 1st of May, if the
weather is fair. For if the wool be not
quite dry, the fleeces, which are
closely piled on top of each other,
would ferment and rot. For this
reason the business is performed in
great shelter-houses, built in the form
of a parallelogram, four hundred feet
long and one hundred feet wide. A
certain number of sheep are led into
the shelter-house, where they remain
during tho day. As many as it is
judged cau be handled by tho Bhearers
nest day are driven into a long, narrow
passage, called "thesweatbox," where
they remain all night, crowded as
closely as possible, in order that they
may sweat profusely, in order to soften
the wool for the shears, and, as, tho
shepherds say, "to oil their edges."
By degrees the next morning, the
Bheep aro led into the spacious shearing-room,
which adjoins the sweating
place. As fust as they are sheared
the shepherd carries them off to be
marked with tar. A man can shear
twelve ewes in a day, or eight rams.
The fleeces of three rums often weigh,
in the dirt or yolk, tw enty-five pounds,
which is equivalent to four wethers
or five ewes. The reason of the dif
ference in the number of sheep sheared
in a day is not only because the rams
have larger bodies, are stronger and
have more wool, but the shearmen
dure not tie their feet as they do
those of the unresisting ewes. Ex
perience has taught them that a bold,
rebellious ram would struggle cveu to
suffocation thus confined. Conse
quently they gently lay him down,
stroke him kindly, ami actually be
guile him out of his ileece. The sheep
when sheared are then allowed to go
back to their pastures. New York

Uarllc li Milk.
"Garlic, is much in evidence now in
milk ami butter," remarked a dealer
to a Star reporter, "and will be for
soveral weeks yet. The taste .of garlia
is pleasant to some persons but the
great mujority abhor it. There is
hardly any remedy for it, though some
of the dairy people have a method of
disguising the tuste with a preparation
of lime. The users of the milk or but
ter may not know it, .but it is a good
sign for milk to taste garlicky. It
shows the cows are fed on grass. To
save tho milk at this season from get
ting garlicky, many dairymen stall
feed their cows, that is, .keep them
tied up in the stalls all day and feed
them bran and other mill feed and
chopped-up hay. Iu albumen this
milk is by no means as nourishing as
that which comes from cows that are
allowed to eat the first spring crops of
grass, and the deficiency shows very
markedly in the case of children who
have milk as an importaut factor in
their food. Tho garlic crop generally
plays out on its own account by tho
middle of June. It is much better
that children should have good milk,
even if it does taste of garlic, than to
give up milk on that account. The
best way that I know to conceal the
taste of garlic is the homeopathic idea
that like cures like, or the samo idea
expressed in other words that the hair
of the dog cures the bite. . This cau
be npplied very easily now thnt gi een
onions are in the markets. Let the
child or grown person rub an onion ou
the lips, even if they do not eat it.
The onion taste being similar to that
of garlic, though probably more pro
nounced, kills the after taste of garlic
effectually. This is much better and
far more healthy than to try to kill the
garlio taste with chemicals, which,
while they may not he dangerous or
very unhealthy, are never as safe as
simpler methods." Washington Star.

Mt Forts Be Roofed ?
Captain Sir B. Baden-Powell, a dis

the governments of all nations that
they had better put bomb-proof roofs
on their forts, if they want to stand
any chance whatever of winning the
next war in which they engage. Cap
tain Powell says that an aerial war
Bhip is an absolute certainty, and that
what the military genius of the future
will have to look out for will be bombs

upon a well-chosen and well-kept

who admired a farm bordered with

' Curing liny for Home I'te.
In hiiy making, two points are to be
considered, writes J. S. Woodward, of
New lork. First, how to get the
largest weight of such hay as is most
in demand m the market and will
bring the highest price, nnd second,
how to get the largest amount of di
gestible stock food to tho acre. The
first is from the standpoint of the hay
seller, rue other from that of the hay
feeder.
Fortunately for the farmer, the hay
buying public bus not yet "got onto"
the fact that for all animals for all pur
poses for a driving horse even, there
is no hay quite equal to early cut, well
cured clover, so the market calls for
timothy liny aud such will sell for sev
eral dollars per ton more than any
other, and it must be male from grass
fully grown aud ripened to a point just
short of the shattering of the seed.
There is a prejudice in the market
ngainst hay that is too greeu in color,
and although hay cut early and of n
deep green color is fur better to feed,
it will not bring as much as that which
is lighter in color, in fact, almost white,
providing this color comes from fuller
maturity and not from bleaching by
the weather.
While no other of tho true grasses
has nearly so high a feeding value ns
the northern bluegrass, "Poa com
pressa," and nothing increases the
feeding value of timothy hay more than
a mixture of this grass, such a mix
ture injures its market value in pro
portion to the quantity of bluegrass
contained. So then, for market, clean
timothy is wanted, aud it should bo
cut just before its seeds will shell and
at this stage can be cut iu the morn
ing of a good hay day, and drawn and
boused in afternoon, especially if it be
gone over with a tedder soon after
dinner.
But ns to the best time to cut
the various kinds of grasses, best
methods of curing, handling and stor
ing to get best results in feeding farm
stock. We do not care for bulk but
for amount of digestible food. sA well
established fact in vegetable growth is,
that during the early season much of
the growth of hay plants is at the ex
pense of nutriment stored up the pre
vious season, and that up to a certain
point of maturity tho plant is largely
fiber and water, and that beyond this
time the plant is taking in ca-bon from
the air and uniting that with the water
and forming tho carbohydrates first
sugar, thou starch and lastly fiber;
that the further this change goes the
woody fiber increases and the digesti
ble matter decreases.
A rapid change also takes place in
the constituents of grasses in the cur
ing or drying process. While the green
grass may contain much sugar, when
the same has been cured but little can
found, it having passed on to the starch
form largely, and doubtless more or
less bas gone on into the woody state.
These facts true, grasses of all kinds
should be cut when they have the great
est quantity of sugar and starch per
acre, as these are both almost com
pletely digestible. If allowed to go
beyond this the hay may increase nvttch
iu weight and still lose much of its di
gestible value.
With all the grasses, clover included,
this point will be found just at the
period of full bloom. I know many
have a notion that the polleu on the
grasses makes the hay dusty, but if
that be the only dust on the hay, no
animal will ever be injured by its use.
There is one objection to this early
cutting of grass for hay it is much
more work to cure it, but the far
greater value will more than compen
sate for the extra labor.
I have tried almost every way of hay
making but, all things considered, I
prefer to do most of the curing in cock.
I like to start the mower about four
o'clock in the afternoon and keep it
running until 10 o'clock the next day,
oxoept for a couple of hours in the
early morning. If the grass is heavy,
it should be shaken out with a tedder
before noon and by three in the after
noon it will be ready to rake and go
into cocks. ,
Few men know just how to make a
good bay cook. Almost anyone can
make a bunch, but it takes an artist
to put up a hay cock so it will abed
rain aud not be blown over by every
little breeze. It should be small on
the ground, rather tall and so built np
that the outside coat shall shed rttin

When' cured enough on a bright

that even with the best system of stack
ing, enough will be wasted in fe"
years to pay for a building in which to
store it. The old notion was, that the
barn for storing bay should be open
aud that the doors should all he left
