The Women's Massachusetts Home stead Association plana to encourage the many thousands of women of all sees who are forced to struggle night and day to gain a livelihood, to take up the cultivation of small plots of land In the suburbs end raise flowers herbs, plr.nts, mushrooms, strawber ries, vegetables, squabs, chickens. bees and pigs. To achieve this end the association wants the Commonwealth to buy tracts of land wherever available, di vide thla land Into acre lots and then, through a commission, supply women particularly aplnslters who would like to engage In such pursuits with s share of the land. It the State la not willing to furnish the land free, then the association asks that It take a mortgage on land bought by philan thropists, develop this land, build cheap, comfortable homes, barns and outhouses on It, and then furnish the necessary Implements for cultivating the solL This plan, aays the members of the Homestead Association, will take thousands of women and children out of the large cities of Massachusetts, will thin out the congested slum dis tricts, and will place these women and those dependent upon them where they can be profitably employed un der sanitary conditions, and Instruct ed In garden and truck farming. "Man owns the earth and has heav en preempted,' saya one of the moat enthusiastic members of the new as sociation. "We ask the right to lire. We want homes. There are 100,000 of ns In Massachusetts who cannot get them because there are not husbands enough to go around. We must either be provided for or else taken out like worn-oat horses end shot. "Think of It! There are 100,000 women without husbands who nave bo future under present conditions. Besides that, there are thousands of middle-aged married women, either widows or the heads of families de pendent upon them, who are willing to take advantage of the legislation we seek If the oport unity were offered them." The Homestead Association has es tablished a literary bureau for the dis tribution of literature calling atten tion to the necessity of women shar ing In any leglalatton which would tend to provide homes. The associa tion has also organised a lecture bu reau, and plans to hare women; well- versed on the condition of women workers In Massachusetts, lecture be fore all the women's clubs of the State to arouse Interest In the cause f the organisation. The members of the Massachusetts association declare that their work has been greatly aided through the statistics and Information gathered by one of the members before the asso ciation came into existence. This woman has Interested a wealthy New Tork woman in the pro ject of providing email tracts of land for spinsters and widows, and It Is announced that she will spend from 1300.000 to $300,000 if the cause ap peals to her In buying land for strug gling "old maids" and mothers of fam ilies. Options have been secured on sev eral farms. One farm, consisting of ( acres of land, and located but eight miles from Boston, can be bought for (8,000. There Is also a philanthropist living in Brookline, who offers to give his big farm for experiment.

As the bishop was dressing, he meditated on the pie ty of the servant Speaking to her after breakfast of the pleasure It had given him, he was met with an unex pected answer. "Oh, thank you. air," she replied, "but that's the hymn I boil the eggs by three verses for soft and five verses for hard." INSINUATING. Madge I never eat such things be cause they spoil the complexion. Marjorie But you used to eat theas, nam yoiiT MILFORD Poem reed by the late John D. kiddle at the dedication of Mllford Cemetery May 26, 1868, and republished at the re. quest of many friends. For balf a century back our fathers' bones bare slept In the old orchard, where the little knot Of cluster' d pine trees have tbelr vigils kept, Lonely, but watchful o' er the sacred spot. : Nought marks tbe grave but the rude mound of earth, Or tottrlng slab of marble or rough atone; No epitaph to tell us of their worth That to their deeds and time Is left alone. Deserted now, tbis first old burylDg-eround; Uncared for now, decaying wltb its dead; Bnt many a chiselled shaft and tell-tale mound Cloeter about our churches In Itsstead. Children and friends have fallen, one by oue; Father and mother rest beneath the sod; Their joys and sorrows felt, their Journey done, And tbelr immortal spirits with their God. But now within the small allotted space, ' Scarce room is left for mourning friends to tread, Who fain with loving hands would gladly grace With flowers the turf that closes o'er their dead. The cheerless wind sweeps, bowling, bleak and drear; The spectral army, only, points the sky; And no protecting tree or hlll-clde'e near To make tbe wind's loud roar a gentle lullaby. Is there nought left, when In the narrow cell, We've laM on hallowed dead and o'er them weep, ' But for a mourning season In our hearts to tell To our own selves their past, and let them sleep? How doubly dark, how fearful would seem death, If we, who living, look beyond life's end, Were doomed to chain unto our parting breath All that In love, to lire its beauties lend. Such love as that which in a mother dwells, Wben weeping o'er the pillow of her child; Or from the wife's devoted bosom swells, Wben her dear-ones are tose'd by tempests wild. The memory of a gentle sister's thought, The fond regard that lights tbe lover's eye; If with the loss of these the tomb were fraught, .Our graves weie all left of us wben we die. We've met to-day to consecrate the spot Where some of us must find our future home; Where each of us may choose the little lot, Wherein to net wben death shall come. Here, where yon mountain lends its grateful shade; Here, by tbe I'de of yonder gentle river; Where Nature's self a resting-place bath made; Here let our loved ones rest In peace forever. Here, through the pines the summer showers will weep, And through their branches birds will chirp and slug; These hills as sentinels their vigils keep; And from the ground will sweetest violets spring. Wltb all that's cheerful here a solemn grandeur blends; The stillness of the scene, yon rocks of sombre grey; And through the winding paths tbe funeral cortege lends A sadness fitting to tbe burial day. Wben once loved forms are mouldering to dust, Let ties of love that made their Uvea so sweet All centre bete, and, faithful to our trust, Let us keep tenderly their last retreat. . Tis meet that wand'ring spirits here should dwell. And through these trees the wind in sadness wail; Tbe gentle dove her mournful story tell, And with soft music Oil the echoing vale. How better far, to feel that we and ours 'May sometime slumber in tbis lovely place. Than in the crowded churchyard where no flowers Or tree or buds our final couch can graos. i Marjerls's Remark. Marjorie. aged four yeara, has a fox terrier, la the welfare of which she takes great Interest Said fox-terrier wears the customary collar and license, and Marjorie understands the Importance of these perfectly weU. The other evening a young woman came to dine at the house of the small glrL She wore around her throat what was possibly a souvenir of some sentimental nature, a tiny chain, from which depended a gold heart "Dear me," said Marjorie when the guests had assembles In the drawing room, and she was bidding them good night before golug to the nursery for her supper. "Dear me, mamma. Miss Smith has on her license, hasn't she? Why are Mdo and Miss Smith the only ones who have on licenses V And then she was hustled off sum marily to darkest retirement and Mlas Smith, tag aad all, went out to dinner. It Came at Last. Few letters have remained so long In tbe keeping of the post office as one ..which has now safely reached Its destination after a lapse of twenty- nine yeara. On Christmas day, 1871, the document was posted at Swindon, addressed to a young lady who resid ed la Charnham street Hungerford. A day or two ago it was delivered to a lady at Newbury, having occupied a Quarter of a century plus four years In transit The delay was caused by the missive falling behind some wood work at the Swindon office, where it lay unnoticed until certain alterations In tbe building brought K to light It was then sent on to Hungerford, where there happened to se a post man who knew the lady to whom the letter waa addressed. Hence the de livery to the rightful owner, in spite of the fact that ahe had changed her same three tiroes since the envelope was Inscribed.

"Some one la com ing upstair. Watson," he said. "I heard footsteps on the stairs, but Ton wonder how I know our visitor Is coming up Instead of going down," Interrupted Holmes, reading my thoughts. "It's childishly simple," he continued. "I fixed the second step from the top se that any one treading on It shot down the whole flight The stranger hasn't fallen yet, and must therefore be coming up." At that moment there was a crash. Holmes opened the door and stepped out "Try again, my dear sir," he called out to the man who lay lo a tumbled heap at the bottom of tbe stairs. This time onr visitor was more successful. He entered the room and took a seat opposite tbe window. "Did you hsve a good game?" asked Holmes. "How did you guess" "Nothing, my dear sir," answered Holmes. "Your mouth has oertaln lines brought on by saying a vigor ous word beginning wltb d.' and tbe transfer in your pocket tells me you are a golfer." "Yea, I play golf.
