English butterflies unluckily com
mand an exceptionally high price in
the collectors' market. This is prob
ably one reason why, as Natural
Science points out, many important
ppeciea of British butterflies aro dis
appearing. That the country is wife, so far as
Madison county, Imliuua, goes, is
demonstrated, thinks the New York
Sun, in the statistics of the health
board, which show tive puirs of twins
born in a week. It is not long since
the report recorded two sets of trip
lets. The Government ou us one-tenth
of the railroads in Canada and rents
them ut a loss of half a million u year.
With an increase of its holdings, which
the new Hudson's Hay road limy sad

the scheme generally works.
An "amphibious boat" is an actual
fact in Denmark, and lust seusou car
ried twenty-thousand passengers. It
operates on two lurge lakes, the bodies
of wuter being divided by a strip of
laud eleven hundred feet in width.
It is to cross this strip of land that
the boat leaves the water uud for a
time becomes a locomotive. Her full
complement of passengers is seventy,
and when she is loaded she weighs
fifteen tons.
For the first time in history a gen
erous census has been tiikeu of the
population of the Russian Empire,
which is shown to number 1 2!,li 11,
113, of which total ol,(il(i,2M0 are
males and 64,5!I4,H:U lire females.
United States consul General Kurel.ut
Kt. Petersburg, who transmits the
figures to the state department, says
they show thnt in forty-live yeurs the
population of Russia has doubled,
and during the last twelve years it hus
increased twenty per cent. To take
this census the Russian" gowrnmeiK
employed an army of one hundred and
fifty thousand persons, and its com
pletion in three months is regarded
as a great achievemnt, in view of the
vast expanse of territory to be covered
and the illiteracy of the population.
There is a scarcity in Florida waters
of the best sponge, the "sheepwool,"
and the returns to the sponge-fishers
have been gradually lessening. A
like scarcity in other waters is indi
cated by tho increased demand for in
ferior sponges, which have heretofore
been looked upon as comparatively
worthless. One of these, the grass
sponge, is very abundant in Florida.
It is of coarse texture and has large
internal channels, but has proved to
be a fuir substitute for the better
sponge. A demand for it, both in
this country and iu Europe, has re
sulted in raising its price to the tisher
from twenty-eight to sixty-five cents
tt bunch. Its gathering is profitable
at fifty cents a bunch, and the demand
for it has infused new life into a
Florida industry which has been lan
guishing for seven years.
Georgia is claiming possession of !
the best fire clay in the United States.
The stute has been a producer of clay
in a modest way, standing twentieth j
in the list of clay-producing stutes,
but it hopes soou to take a much
higher position. This hope is bused
on a report by iJr. G. E. Ladd, tho
assistant state geologist, who has been
testing the Georgia clays for a yeur,
and who has found a bed of tho very
best clay, extending across the stute
from Columbus to Augusta. This clay,
Dr. Laihl says, is "the most refrac
tory iu the United States," that is, it
"will stuud a greater heat than any clay
I have ever tested in America." The
bed varies iu width from five to fifteen
miles, and follows an irregular line,
sometimes running north and again to
the south. At some points the clay is
Tery pure and refractory, but often it
is full of impurities and is nut valu
able. The best of it is worth 810 a
ton in the markets. In South Caro
lina, just across the river from Au
gusta, there is a cluy deposit of the
same character which brings in 8300,
000 a year. That clay is shipped to
New Jersey for manufacture.

BEGINNING AGAIN.
Whn somtlmes ourfeot arrow weary
On tba niKitwl hills of Ufa-,
Th path stretching long anil dreary.
With trial and labor rlt.
We pausa on tlw upward journey.
Glancing backward o'er valley and glen,
And sigh with an Infinite longinir
To return and "begin again;"
For liehi nd is t he dn w of the morning,
VitU all its f res lines and light.
And hefore u are doubts and shadows
And the chill and gloom of thu nig at;
And we think of tbo sunny places
We passed so carssly then.
And we sig'i, "O Fe.ther. permit ua
To return and 'begin again.'"
We think of the many dear ones
Whose lives touched ours at times.
Whose loving thoughts and pleasant smiles
Float ba'-k like vesper chimes;
And we sadlv rememtsT burdens
We might have lightened then
Ah. gladly would we ease them.
Could wo "begin again."
And yet. how vain the asking!
Life's duties press all ot us on,
And who would shrink from the burden,
Or sigh (or the sunshine that's gone?
And It may be not tar on before us
Wait places fairer than then;
Onr paths may yet lead by still waters,
Though we may not "begin again."
Yes, upward and onward forever
Bo our paths on the hills otllfe,
But ere long a radiant dawning
Will glorify trial and strife.
And our Father's hand will lead us
Tenderly upward then;
In t ho Joy and peace of the better world

SAVED BY HIS WIFE.
HE profession
al "loafer" sees
more lifo than
auy one. The
busy people in
mighty Lon
don are in too
great a hurry
to make money
to notice a 1 1
tho quaint lit
1 1 e comedies
which work
themselvesout
day by day.
It was while I was "loating" that I
saw n strange drama in real life, which
I should certainly have missed had I
not been conscientiously idle.
One afternoon I fell iuto conversa
tion with a little man who was like
wise busy in the almost forgotten urt
of doing nothing.
Ho was a neat little man; his mus
tache was neatly trimmed, his figure
was neat and compact, his clothes were
neat.
We were watching a girl fall off her
bicycle. There were several people
looking on, aud we all enjoyed it very
much. The girl kept falling, but
whether she did it for our amusement
or because she couldn't help it I don't
know.
We discussed the "new woman,"
find I was glad to find he didn't ap
prove of her, because I do, and it gave
me a chance of airing my views.
' And so a kiud of intimacy sprang up
between us. We met nearly every
day, and bit by bit he told me his lit
tle story.
His name was Smollett, and lie lived
in a flat near tho park with his wife
and child. He told me in confidence
that his wife was the best little woman
in the world, and hinted that his child
was within a trifle of being the best
little man.
Mr. Smollett had been' a clerk in a
stockbroker's office. But the stock
broker hod taken a wrong view of the
South African question, and, after be
ing hammered, had gone through the
Bankruptcy Court and retired into the
country to live in contentment on his
wife's settlement. Mr. Smollett was
in search of a fresh appointment.
"ion know, he said one day, "I in
not a greedy man. I don't look for a
large sulary. Three or four pounds a
week would satisfy me very well for
the present. You see, my wife is such
a splendid manager."
I believe ho spent his mornings in
the delightful occupation of nnsweriug
advertisements aud banting up friends
likely to be of servio. In the after
noon he lounged in Battersea Park.
But the weeks slipped away; and
spring was converted into summer.
Mr. Smollett still made his appear
ance iu the park, near the boathouse,
with unfailing regularity. He had
not found employment.
"It strikes me," he said with a kind
of airy philosophy, "that I shall have
to look out for something at about two
pounds a week. A small loaf is better
than no bread, isn't it?"
"Quite so," I assented, "and so is a
biscuit."
"And do j'ou know," he ran on.
"we are getting quite hard up. We
are iudeed."
He said this with an air of surprise,
as if I could scarcely be expected to be
lieve it. But ns I had suffered from
the complaint for many years, I found
no dilliculty in grasping the situation.
As the autumn approached he began
to look gloomily anxious. The scraps
of commonplace philosophy with which
he flavored his conversation became
more cynical aud less humorous.
"Aren't yon going to smoke?" I
asked ono day, noticing the prim little
cigarette was not forthcoming.
"No," he said, doubtfully. "I
don't think so. I'm afraid I shall
have to give it up; it doesn't alto
gether agree with me.".
He tapped himself on the chest as
he spoke, to signify, I suppose, that it
affected his throat. But I had my
doubts, and persuaded him to try my
tobacco.
The little man began to be a trifle
less pprnce in his appearance" He
had managed to get wet through
two or three times; at one time he
had an umbrella I don't know what
became of it; and his clothes seemed
to shrink, and make him look pinched
and thin.
By the time the autumn had set in,
and the number of cyclists was dimin
ishing, I Terily believe he was short of
food. At any rate, he seemed to be
very glad to join me in a few sand
wicb.es at a small publio house I had
discovered in Vauxhall, where the
sandwiches were fairly good and only
a penny each. He told me, in strict
confidence, that he would jump at a
guinea a week, "just to keep the pot
boiling, you know," he added, with a
cautious wink.
One day we were sitting in the Park
watching a six-foot policeman manage
a mob of three very small boys, who
wanted to climb the railings and de
stroy some flowers, when a man
looked hard at Smollett, and then
spoke to him. I strolled away.
He was a well-dressed man of about
twenty-eight or thirty, with the ap
pearance of one who is prosperous,
and treats himself well. It struck me
at once that he was the kind of a
person w ho has a proper regard for
his own interest, so that if he had to
choose between going to the wall him
self and sending another man there,
his choice would certainly fall on the
other man.
However, he seemed to treat Smol
lett with some cordiality, and I could
see from my friend's manner that he
was trying to converse with him, and
nt the same time was nervously anx
ious to secure his help.
At last tho stranger went on, aud
Smollett returned to me.
"That's funny, isn't it?" he began.
"He's an old school fellow of mine; I
haven't seen him for fifteen years,
He s doing well. I told liim I was
on the lookout for something, and he
thiuks ho can give me work to do at
home."
I congratulated him, but he ran on
without a pause.
"His name's Morehouse; he's run
ning a company or something, muking
no end of money. He s got my ad
dress."
"Did he give you his?" I asked.
"Oh, no, it wasn't necessary, you
know."
That was just what I expected. Mr.
Morehouse didn't want a shabby
friend calling on him in the city.
'Won't uiv little wife be glad! 'he
said, gleefully. "I think I shall go
home at once and tell her. Good-by. "
And he bustled away with his good
news.
T don't think Smollett made verv
much money ont of hisTriend s work,
but it served to meet some of his most
pressing requirement?, aud gave him
new hone.
Ono afternoon he turned up in tue
Park looking pale and excited. 1
asked if there was anything the mat
ter, but he was rather taciturn, and
said vaguely that "things were look
ing up a "bit."
'Don t you think a follow s quite
entitled to do the very best he can for
his wife and children, and all that sort
of thing?" he asked, solemnly.
Of course ho is. Who doubted
it?"
"No one," he said curlly, nud went
home, walking with rather a denant
air.
I felt uncomfortable about him.
There was something in his inauncr
which suggested to me that he was
going through a crisis.
A day or two later he began to look
thoroughly ill. To put it roundly, the
inn n looked half starved uud almost
demented with worry.
I suppose you haven't heard of
anything?"
"No," he said. "I in sick nud tired
jf trying. I haven't even enough
nir.ney to pay for postage stamps. My
boots are in holes. I can't walk iuto
the city. My wife is nearly broken
down, and the child is ill. I wish I
couldn't swim!"
"Why?"
"I'd drown myself. Can't afford a
revolver, you know."
He said this with a bitter laugh, but
he didn't mean it. The little man hud
no more idea of committing suicide
than I had.
'Does Morehouse still send you
some work?"
"No," he said, quietly. "I shan't
get any more work from Morehouse."
"Oh!"
How he got through the next fort
night I scarcely knew. He seemed
to have no friends. The weather was
getting colder, and he lacked an over
coat I believe that everything which
could be spared had been disposed of
to buy food. I could do very little to
help him, being in my chronic condition
of low water.
At last he appeared one afternoon in
a state of triumph. He had found a
situation only two pounds a week
but he was as pleased as if it had been
the directorship of a bank.
"I will start to work to-morrow," he
said cheerfully, "eo I'm afraid we won't
have auy more afternoon talks. They've
done mo good."
"Did I ever tell you what More
honse wanted me to do?" he said,
jerkily.
I know what was coming a con
fession. "Perhaps you had better keep it to
yourself."
"No, I want to tell you. I think you
nre the sort of a fellow who would un
derstand." "I happen to be a vory good writer.
I can copy anybody's handwriting.
It's a sort of gift. Sometimes at school
I used to do other fellow's exercises
for them, and no one could tell the dif
ference. Morehouse knew this, and
he wanted me to put somebody else's
name to a bill."
. He stopped and swallowed some
thing nervously.
"He offered me fifty pounds and I
wanted the money very badly."
"You didn't do it?" I asked.
"Yes, I did," hts said simply.
"There was hardly any risk," ho
said shakily. "Morehouse had ar
ranged it very cleverly aud before the
bill would become uno he was certain
to refund the money all right, so it
would never have been known."
"It would have been a crime." he
vent on huskily, "but it didn't coma
oil"
"How was that?
"I wrote the name. It was perfect
It was all ready to go off stamped and
addressed to Morehouse."
"How was it it didn't go?" I asked.
"My wife saw it lying on the table.
She didn't know all about it but I sup
pose she guessed there was something
wrong.
By this time he was lairry crying,
bat I tried not to see.
."And she?" I asked.
"She picked the wretched thing up
and chucked it in the fire," he said.
Then he jumped up from his seat,
and without another word walked
away as fast as his little legs would
carry him
WELL-TO-DO ROVERS.
An Entire Family Traveling About the
Country In Wagon.
Recently a gypsy -like cavalcade
paused for a brief sojourn in Washing
ton's suburbs. But the occupants of
the carriages were not real gypsies.
They were the well-bred family and
attendants of Captain Jack Hayden,
formerly of Cincinnati, on their
northeastward travels away from the
warmer South. From here they moved
on iuto Pennsylvania. YearB ago
Captain Hayden made up his mind to
see this great country in his own way.
So he fitted up a caravan of his own
design and plan, and began a new life
for health, strength, pleasure and
business. Since then he has traveled
thousands of miles by wagon. The
establishment consists of Captain
Hayden, Mrs. Hayden, two sons, two
attendants and ten horses. Captain
Hayden is the picture of health, a
good talker and ran over his story very
good naturedly. He said to a re
porter: "I have covered this country, ex
cepting the New England States, pretty
thoroughly. Winter and summer we
move about, just the same, managing
to get into the extreme Southern
States or Mexico during the coldest
months and working North with the
sun. I have never known what a day
of sickness is. I absolutely do not
know what it is to feel out of sorts.
At one time my wife suffered con
siderably from malaria and rheumat
ism, but this was wheu she remained
at our home in Cincinnati. A trip to
tho woods and fields, large and in
cessant doses of pure air, and she's
now all right again. All our vehicles
are easy running and our horses good,
aud we can make many miles in a day
if occasion requires."
A big covered wagon is the sleeping
apurtment of Mr. and Mrs. Hayden,
when in camp. It contains a hand
some bed with the neatest linen and
pillows, with lace aud satin shams.
In this wagon there are also a hand
some cabinet filled with fine china
ware and the wardrobe of the party.
The arrangement of the doors and side
windows is such that thorough ventila
tion is secured.
"How about your comfort during
heavy rain storms, Captain?"
"We are never inconvenienced by
even , the neavy downpours. .uotn
wagon and tents are waterproof, and
we rest as dry as punk. As for light
ning, I feel safer in the wagon or tent
than I would in a house, and I believe
I am. so."
"What is the prime object of your
travels?"
"I buy and sell horses as the gyp
sies do. I know I could do business
if located in some city, but the health
consideration is an important one in
the manner of life I lead. Our ex
penses for food for ourselves and horses,
horseshoeing, wear and tear, and re
pairs, toll, etc., run about $.10 a week."
The two sons and attendants sleep
in the tent used as a dining room dur
ing the day. Two large shepherd dogs
guard the camp at night. The Cap
tain is well read on all subjects and
his family is a bright one. He was
born in England, but he came to this
country at an early age. He said iu
conclusion:
"If more people knew the real pleas
ures of such a nomadio life, easy, rest
ful life, there would be hundreds liv
ing in the woods the way we do.
nouse living is not in it. I would not
dwell in a cottage if it was given to
me free of charge. Give me a life in
the woods with plenty of spring water."

Wages Are High in Japan.
v The competition of Japanese labor,
which has been so much dreaded by
the American workman, is not likely
longer to be a menace if wages in Japan
continue to increaso in the extraordin
ary degree they have maintained since
the China-Japanese War.
United States Consul Connolly, of
Hioga, has supplied the State Depart
ment with tables, showing the wages
of various classes of labor, more or less
skilled, for 1891, 1895 and 1890, that
illustrates this wonderful increase in
certain lines. Argricultural laborers,
m ale and female, have had their wages
advanced in that period of time from
.10 yen per day to .25 yen; weavers
from .15 to .35 yen; tailors from .GO to
1.20 yen; papermakers from .18 to .40
yen; blacksmiths from .45 to .85 yen,
and so on through many kinds of la
bor. The Japanese manufacturers also ap
pear to be having their labor troubles,
which they are endeavoring to over
come in ifnique fashion, as shown by
the Consul's report, based on newspa
per aocounts. The great activity in
the cotton spinning industry has led to
a demand for labor in excess of the
supply. One great mill raised wages,
and thus enticed away labor from its
competitors. The latter replied by a
boycott against the offending mill, and
then Bought forcibly to prevent the de
sertion bf their operatives. Pickets
were located at stations and Along the
river route, but notwithstanding the
boycotted mill continues to draw away
the laborers who manage to make their
escape, ,
Making Honea Eat Slowly.
Many horses, especially if fed grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. If they took longer time
to masticate it there would be less
grain voided in their excrement. A
good way to compel slow eating is to
mix with the grain a Jew clean pebbles,
that will oblige the horse to gather his
food slowly. A still better war is to
grind the grain and mix the meal with
three times its bulk of cut hay, or twice
its bulk of straw.

As soon as the pigs arrive take them
away and with three old iron barrel
hoops fasten the sow to the floor.
Place one of the hoops just back of the
fore legs, another just in front of the
hind legs and the third over the neck.
Pad the hoops with a bran sack or
some old bits of cloth. Place a strap
muzzle over the nose, secure it to the
first hoop, then turn in the pigs. From
twenty-four to thirty-six hours con

If the aggregate annual loss of hay
bv being spoiled in stuck could be den
liitely determined, the long string of
figures required to express the loss
would probably nstouish the most of
us. Besides, much of the hay that is
not thrown out as "spoiled" is dusty
uud of low value as compared with its
condition when stacked. Clover is
particularly difficult to keep in good
condition. It should be very carefully
stacked, keeping middle very full, and

f he strength of the draught horse
enables him to mako good time for a

Aifeint.
A most valuable bulletin of the New
York station is that on alfalfa (No
118). It gives a full account of the
plunt and many additional details as
to method and time of seeding, cut
ting, muking hay and ensiling, and
discusses tho yields, composition and
feeding value of alfalfa as compared
with other crops.
Alfalfa being a deeper rooting plant
than are the clovers, is thus better ena
bled to stand drought; and it is a per
ennial, continuing indefinitely wheu
once established. It stands successive
cutting well, giving four or even five
crops of rich fodder in a single season.
It is admirably adapted to supplement
maize as a soiling crop, as it is rich iu
the nitrogenous elements which maize
lacks. At the station it has been read
jly eaten by stock of all kinds, and has
proven au economical addition to the
rations.
It will grow on a great variety of
sou but will not stand stagnant water
or a water level too near the surface.
Considerable care is required in start
ing a field, as it is essential to secure
a good stand in a mowing crop which
is to last for several years. The ground
should be plowed the fall before, and
fitted well just before sowing the seed
in tho spring. Alfalfa has been quite
handy at Geneva, but may not be so
muoh farther north in the State. Iu
a favorable year and on rich soil it may
sometimes give one or even two good
crops the first season; but usually no
crop need be expected until the seo
ond year, Tho yield then increases
for three or four years, and may re
main constant for ten (years or more
if weeds and grass1 do not gain a foot
hold. At the station the average yield
from five crops of four cuttings each
was over seventeen tons of green fod
der per acre, v
