AND YOU AWAY.
Brlla tliat over the meadows ring,
Flout rs that make the May,
But liow can the world of the fomniei flng
Anil you away* awayt
And you away, my dear.
Wi;h the n,-h and the (ailing tear,
What can the green world sing or fay,
And you away, away?
Morning there on the hills supreme.
Earth In its rosy ray,
But how can earth of the morning dream
And you away, away?
And you away, my dear.
With the fish and the falling tear,
What can the green world sinsr or say,
Aud you away, away?

The house in question was what
Peter the Scholar (who corrects my
proof sheetst calls oue of the rusinurby
sort—the front facing a street and the
back looking over a turfed garden,
with a lime tree or two, a laburnum,
and a lawn tennis <«urt marked out,
its white lines plain to see in the star
light. At the end of the garden u door,
painted dark green, led Into u narrow
laue between high walls, where, if two
persons met. one had to turn sideways
to let the other pass. The entrance to
this lane was cut In two by a wooden
post about the height of your hip, and
Just beyond this, in the highroad,
George was waiting for us with the
dogcart.
We had picked the usual time—the
dinner hour. It had Just turned dark,
and the church clock, two streets away,
was chiming the quarter after 8 when
Peter and I let ourselves in by the
green door I spoke of and felt along
the wall for the gardener's ladder that
we knew was hanging there. A simpler
Job there never was. The bedroom
wiudow on the first floor stood right
open to the night air. and inside was a
faint candlelight flickering, just as a
careless maid will leave it after her
mistress has gone down to dinner. To
be sure, there was a chance of ber com
ing back to put it out, but we could
hear her voice going in the servants'
hall as we lifted the ladder and rested
it against the sill.
"She's good for half an hour yet,"
Peter whispered, holding the ladder
while I began to climb; "but if 1 hear
her voice stop I'll give the signal to be
cautious."
1 went up softly, pushed my head
gently above the level of the sill and
looked in.
It was a roomy place, with a great
half tester bed, hung with curtains,
stauding out from the wall on my
right. The curtains were of chintz, a
dark background, with flaming red
popples sprawling over it.and the
farther curtain hid the dressing table
and the candles upon it and the jewel
case that I confidently hoped to stand
npou it also A bright Brussels carpet
Covered the floor, and the wall paper, I
remember—though, for the life of me,
I can not tell why—was a pale gray
ground, worked up to imitate watered
silk, with springs of gilt honeysuckle
upon it.
1 looked around and listened for half
a minute. The house was still as death
up here--not a sound In the room or in
the passages beyond. With a nod to
Peter to hold the ladder firm I lifted
one leg over the sill, then the other,
dropped my feet carefully upon the
thick carpet and went quickly around
the l»ed to the dressing table.
But at the corner, and as soon as
ever I saw around the chintz curtain,
ray knees gave way, and I put out a
hand toward the bedpost.
Before the dressing table, and tu
front of the big glass in which she
could see my white face, was an old
lady seated.
She wore a blaze of Jewels and a low
gown, out of which rose the scraggiest
neck and shoulders I have ever looked
on. Her hair was thick with black dye
and fastened with a diamond star. Be
tween the two candles the powder
showed on her cheek bones like flour
on a miller's coat. Chin on band, she
was gazing steadily into the mirror be
fore her. and, even In my fright. 1 had
time to note that a glass of sherry and
a plate of rice and curry stood at her
elbow among the rouge pots and
powder puffs.
While I stood stock still and pretty
well scared out of my wits she rose,
still staring at my image in the glass,
folded her hands modestly over her
bosom and spoke In a deep, tragical
voice:
"The prince!"
Then, facing sharply around, she
held out her thin arms.
"You have come—at last?"
There was not much to say to this
except that I had. So 1 confessed It.
Even with the candles behind her 1
could see her eyes glowing like a dog's,
and an uglier poor creature this world
could scarcely show.
"Is the ladder set against the win
dow?"
"Since you seem to know, ma'am,"
said I."it Is."
"Ah. Romeo! Your cheeks are ruddy
—your poppies are too red."
"Then I'm glad my color's come back;
for.to fell the truth, you did g'.ve me a
turn just at first. Y'ou were looking
out for nie. no doubt"—
"My prince!" She stretched out her
arms again, and. beiug pretty well at
my wits' end, I let ber embrace me. "It
has l*een so long." she said—"oh, the
weary while! And they 111 treat me.
Where have you been all this tedious
time?"
I was not going to answer that, you
may be sure. By this time I had recov
ered myself sufficiently to gu«#ss wha*
near the truth -that this was a mad
■unt of the family below, and that the
game was In my hands If I played with
decent care. So I met her question with
another.
"Look here." 1 said. "I'm running a
considerable risk iu braving these per
secutors of your'u. Hadn't we better
elope at onct: V"
"1 am ready."
"And the Jewels? You won't leave
theni to your enemies. I suppose."
She turned to the dressing table, lift
ed her jewel case and put it Into my
bands.
"1 a n ready," she repeated. "Let us
t>e quick and stealthy as death."
She followed me to the window and

"What horrible, black depths!"
"It's as easy." sa'd I. "as pie. You
could do it on your head. Look here!"
1 climbed out fir t and helped her, set
ting her feet on the rungs. We went
down in silence, 1 choking all the way
at the sight of Peter below, who was
looking with his mouth open and his
lips too weak to meet the curses and
wonderment that rose up from the
depths of him. When 1 touched turf
and handed him the jewel case, he took
it like a man in a trance.
We put the ladder back In its place
and stole over the turf together. r>ut
outside the garden door Peter could
stand no more of it.
"I've a firearm in my pocket," whis
pered he. pulling up. "and I'm going to
fire it off to relieve my feelings if you
don't explain here and now. Who. in
pity's name, is she?"
"You mug! She's the original Sleep
ing Beauty. I'm eloping with her, and
you've got her jewels."
"Pardon me, Jem," In l says in his
gentlemanly way, "if 1 don't quite see.
Are you taking her off to melt her
or marry her? For how to get rid of
her else"—
The poor old creature had halted, too,
three paces ahead of us and waited
while we whispered, with the moon
light that slanted down Into the lane
whitening her bare ueck and flashing
on her jewels.
"One moment," I said and stepped
forward to her; "you had better take
off those ornaments here, my dear, and
give theiu to my servant to take care
of. There's a carriage waiting for us
at the end of the lane, and when he has
stowed them under the seat we can
climb in and drive off"—
"To the end of the world —to the very
rim of It. my hero."
She pulled the gems from her ears,
hair and bosom and handed them to
Peter, who received them with a bow.
Next she searched in her pocket aud
drew out a tiny key. Peter unlocked
the case, and, having carefully stowed
the diamonds inside, locked it again,
handed back the key, touched his hat
and walked off toward the dogcart.
"My Nearest lady," I began, as soon
as we were alone between the high
walls, "if the devotion of a life" —
Iler bare arm crept into mine.
"There is but u little time left for us In
which to be happy. Year after year I
have marked off the almanac; day by
day I have watched the dial. 1 saw tny
sisters married aud my sisters' daugh
ters, and still 1 waited. Each had a
man to love her and teud her, but uone
had such a man as I would have
chosen. They were none like you, my
priuce."
"No, I dare say not."
"Oh, but my heart is not so cold.
Take my hand—it is firm and strong;
touch my lips—they are burning"—
A low whistle sounded at the top of
the lane. As I took her hands I pushed
her back. and. turning, ran for my life.
I suppose that as Iran I counted forty
before her scream came, and then the
sound of her feet pattering after me.
She must have run like a demon, for
I was less than ten yards ahead when
Peter caught my wrist and pulled me
up onto the back seat of the dogcart.
And before George could set the horse
going her hand clutched at the flap on
which my feet rested. It missed its
grasp and she never got near enough
again. But for half a minute I looked
into that horrible face following us and
working with silent rage, and for half
a mile at least 1 heard the patter of her
feet in the darkness behind. Indeed, I
can hear it now.
Nonsenaical Reliefs.
Half a century ago omens were still
generally believed in. So, too, were
charms. I bad a cousin who seriously
undertook to charm away warts and
was believed to have succeeded. She
was supposed to have inherited the
secret from her father, a Wesleyan
minister. My uncle, a farmer, and by
no means a credulous man, when about
to visit London for the first time, feel
ing some trepidation, consulted a doc
tor. The doctor handed him a small
vial of quicksilver, which was certain
If kept in the pocket to avert all harm.
Doubtless the doctor laughed in his
sleeve, for doctors were then getting
incredulous, and I remember it being
commonly said of another practitioner
that he believed neither in God nor
devil. Nearly twenty years later, when
a cousin who, born a Wesleyan, had
turned Quaker and came up to London
to the annual gathering of that body,
he showed me, with a smile, the Iden
tical vial of mercury. His mother,
good soul, had borrowed it from her
brother so that her son might likewise
benefit by it.—Westminster Review
Tiie Stubborn Man.
You think it shows strength to be
stubborn and unforgiving, but it's a
mistake; it shows weakness. The
meanest soul in the world can pity
himself and nurse his troubles; he gets
a sort of enjoyment out of it. It's
awful easy, too; it ain't necessary to
have any particular talent, nor any
thing but the commonest brains; In
fact, it ain't necessary to have much
of anything but a sellish disposition.—
Eleanor C. Ueed, In"The Rattle In

Rorronlnu Habits of Poets.
On Tennyson's habit of failing to
recognize clearly his own borrowings
from the classical poets. Mr. Lang ob
serves that the poets have always had
a kind of regal indifference to their
own lighter productions. Mr. Lang
says: "Scott did not care; uo. not when
he found that he had unwittingly taken
a line from a poem by the valet of ft
friend. Iu the preface to a little col
lection of verses from the novels he i
frankly declare . hat he cannot pretend
to be certain whh h are of his own com
position and which are not.
"To take an example from the level
at the foot of Parnassus, I once read,
In au Am man paper, some lines at
tributed to Mr. Austin Dobsoa. 'Not
bad for Dobson,' 1 said freely to a
friend. But It was proved on me that
the rhymes were my own! £~ bard wao
forgets his own verses may be par
doned for remembering those of other
people and mistaking a half line of
somebody else's for his own. I dare
say that Tennyson did this occasion
ally, but he could hardly say that 'the
sun sets' without being accused of un
conscious borrowing."

CONCERNING SILAGE.
It Has tin Important Flefil of I'irfnl.
iitsa on the General Farm.
Corn, frou the ease with which it
can l>e converted into silage, is per
haps entithd to stand at the head of
all forage plants for this purpose. The
solid stems flat leaf and propel- ratio
between its liquid and solid constitu
ents seem to favor it for this work.
The plant, however, is comparatively
poor in protein.
Of the legumes clover is probably the
most valuable plant both for hay and

s'lflge. Its heavy yield, richness In
protein and soil renovating qualities
will command the attention of all pro
gressive ag-iciilturlsfs. Clover, with
the possible exception of alfalfa, can
probably be grown and plae. .1 in the
silo at a lower cost than any other for
age crop.
\ trii is another valuable legume. It
will thrive iu a greater variety of soils
than clover and can be sown as a cnteh
cro|> either in the spring or fall It is
very palatable to stock and about equal
with clover in nutritive principles aud
adaptability for silage.
Alfalfa is also a giod silage crop.
This plant under favorable cond'lions
will yield a crop representing perl.apt
n greater value per acre than an? othei
forage crop grown. With the silo this
crop can be made of inestimable value
to the dairying and stock growing In
dustry in scmiarld sections.
Field peas make a good silru;i- crop
They are rich in protein, but stoeu tie

and alfalfa. Some unsatisfactory re
suits have fcllowed attempts to ensilo
peas and vetch when grown with
grain. While the grain w» v ; materially
aid in holding the vetch antl pea tip.
thus facilitating the harvesting of the
crop, too laige a proportion of grain i*
undesirable when the crop Is to be en
siloed. The hollow stems of the grain
carry more or less air into the silo
which is thought to accelerate fer
mentation and consequent deteriora
Hon of the siLage.
The best forage plauts for sllnge art
generally those with solid stems and
which carry over 20 per cent of solid
matter iu their physical structure.
Very succulent plants, such as cab
bage, rape and immature corn, clover
alfalfa or voich. when carrying uiuc!
less than 20 per cent of solid matter
are unsuited for silage.
Recorded results of a larg" numbei
of experiments with silage warrants
the conclusion that plants are lu tb«
best c ondition for silage when they an
fairly well matured. Corn is seemluglj
in the best condition for the tilo when
the kernels are nicely glazed, just aftei
the roasting eai stage.
The problem of sweet and sour silagi
continually comes up. and much the
orizing has been Indulged in. That
some silage Is exceedingly sour Is a
well ki.own fact, but the cause of tbi»
condition is not well known. Result*
obtained from experiments seem to in
dicate that there are at least two con
ditions which favor the development
of organic adds In silage—l. e.. Imma
turity of the plants and extreme com
pactness of the silage. A good ex
ample of the former is sbowu iu imma
ture core silage.
Corn silage which though extremely
acid was exceptionally well preserve!,
possessed an agreeable odor, aud eowf
ate It with avidity. There were no up
preciable harmful results from feeding
this exceedingly sour silage. The period
of feeding, however, was brief, only ex
tending over two weeks.
The first cut represents a dry Short
horn cow which from Jan. 1 to May 1

was fed dally, without grain. 40 pounds
of clover silage and what mixed clover
hay she would eat up clean This cow
not only retained her excellent condi
tion on the above ration, but made a
satisfactory guiu in live weight.
The second cut represents Cotswold
ewes which were taken off from rape
and clover pasture Dec. 1. 19JM). and put
®n clover silage, mixed hay and a light
ration of gram. This was fed until
March 15. 1901, when they were photo

TUey Ifct. Product of luimeuse Sub
marine Ueyaera?
For more than a century scientists
and philosophers have been vainly try
lug to discover the origiu and cause of
the mysterious current in the Atlantic
ocean called the gulf stream. Why so
called is not appurtut, as nothing in
the gulf of Mexico Is in its composition.
There have been many theories, which
have been abandoned, some perfectly
nbourd, such us its being caused by the
earth in Its revolution on its axis, for
if it had the power to draw this stream
at the rate of five n lies an hour from
the coast of Florida it would draw all
the water from the east coasts of
North aud South America at the same
velocity. The prevailing theory is that
the northeast trade winds drive a cur
rent into the Caribbean sea and, aided
by the feeble equatorial stream, heap
up the water In the gulf of Mexico,
thence rushing around the south of
Florida from the source of the gulf
stream. But there is no such a heap
lug of the waters in that gulf. The
waters there are sluggish, and there is
no perceptible current loading toward
the gulf stream or anywhere else.
| This theory has been accepted for
1 want of a bettor, but those who favor
it are not entirely satistied with it. The
gulf stream Is an independent body of
water, having no connection with the
water around or behind the point
where it emerges. It Is warmer and
of a deeper blue than the surrounding
seas aud gushes forth from the start
ing point off Cape Sable at the rate of
j front five to six Uuots an hour, with
I a temperature of about 90 degrees,
' lessening gradually as it proceeds on
Its Journey of thousands of miles across
the Atlantic ocean, warming the west
ern shores of Europe.
Having seen the fallacy of the the
ories concerning the gulf stream, we
will turn our attention to the great Pa
cific current, identical in all respects
with its sister current of the Atlantic
and concerning which there are no tiie-
I ories to contend with.
It starts soontaneously from a spot a
' few miles from the south end of the
island of Formosa. In the Banshee
channel, following the coast of For
mosa northeasterly, past and through
the Loochoo Islands, skirting the coast
of Japan: thence turns eastward on its
long Journey across the wide Pacitic,
warming the coast of America from
I'uget sound to Mexico. Its dark blue
waters are in striking contrast to the
' surrounding seas, giving it the name of
Murra Suar. or black water, it is an
independent stream where no combina
tion of winds or currents can possibly
cause the mighty rush of warm blue
water with a velocity of from five to
six knots an hour from the start.
In Its characteristics of heat, color
and direction it resembles the gulf
stream in every particular, and the
origin of the two streams must be the
same, whatever they may be. which I
shall endeavor to show later on. There
is another ocean current similar In all
respects to the other two. with the ex
ception that it runs in an exactly op
posite direction. Starting ftotn the vi
cinity of the south end of the island of
Madagascar, it runs southwesterly
.-.round the Cape of »!ood Hope, where
it disappears off Cape La gull as. As a
c urrent, probably part of It is diverted
into a steady set of the eastern current,
caused by the prevailing westerly
winds in that region. No scientists, so
lar cs 1 am aware, have attempted to
account for this current. Having now
proved beyond refutation that all the
ories advanced as to the cause of ocean
currents arc groundless. It remains to
be p.oved what the true cause is.
It must be admitted that the currents
have a similar origin, as they are iden
tical In every respect as regards color.
Leat and velocity, springing forth in
the same manner spontaneously from
the earth in some mysterious way.
There Is no place on the surface of the
earth where the water can be heated
to furnish the heat contained in these

of clear, blue water from tin- ocean

the way by contact with the internal

That there are orifices in the earth's

account for It, for what is evaporated
