"But give me back my joy, the dreams of youth, Hope's rosy visions, or tho lamp of Truth; Boll back Time's record from the dialplate Aud snatch a trophy from the grasp of Fate." Again I gazed with wildly streaming oyer On the dread angel that so much denies? Again the still voice breathed o'er fields of snow, "These are the treasures of the Long Ago." Alas, that land! that Land of Long Ago; No resurrection shines above its snow; Memory may enter, but a flaming sword Forbids with menance stern Hope's tender word. 1 he Past is gone?tho Now we grasp full fond, /?ud the To Be looks darklv from bevon l?

" *" luxuriant blonde beard and retiring and bashful disposi tion. He probably, on account of thi: tatter infirmity, had remained a bnchelor though arrived at years of decrction. Jlr. Brandon was a genius in his wa\ and natural mechanic. He had inventci a number of useful articles the most no table of which were the Juvenile Re versablc Trousers, the Corputent's Com panion and the Automatic Ventilating Hat. The Juvenile Reversible Trousers were intended to equalize the wear aud teai of this necessary article of a boy's ap parol, but were not a pronounced sue cess. The principal reason for the failure of this invention arose from the fac that they being alike in front and rear, the juvenile individual wh15 dounc them never knew in which direction lit was going. The Corpulent's Companion, whirl consisted ol a device by which a stou' man could turn up the bottom of hii trouser legs without having to stoop ti perform this duty, was likewise a failure For though everything worked wel when the weather called for the turning up operation, no arrangements had been ID Ufln {r\r 4ll?u>in? J .u. luuiiug niiiii mowii agum. The consequeece was that t man endowed with nlderr.:auic proportions had to bend his adi pose anatomy to an uncomfortable nngU when lie was desirous of having bis pan taloons resume their proper position, ane thus, like the Juvenile Revcrsibh Trousers, the Corpulent's Companion die not meet with unqualified success. ''It is a long lane that has no turn ing,'ana mic? uraujr montns ot narc work, deep thought and persevering in duatry, the Automatic Ventilating Hat, an invention over which John Brandor had consumed many gallons of midnighi i oil, was introduced to public notice, ami j became the rage. It was advertised in, tciligently and John Brandon became famous. The Automatic Hat had a cumber of miniature metallic tubes in serted between the hat and the lining, the air entering at one end of the tubes and after circulating freely through then found egress nt the other end, thus tin head of the man who was fortunate enough to procure one of these celebrate) hats, was sure to be cool and comfortable. Mrr Bnttglon's business now increased tostieh surijprtent that he invested in c. typejJMl^Bh^chinemnl advertised for r ^ The fwW5pp^W(P?Oppthe situation was n Miri Moore, but she did not hold< thf position long. A short trial of her skill proved her unfittness for it. John hireo ;-er in the morning and discharged hei the fame evening. Miss Moore's strength, like damson's, lay in her hair, odic wore bangs; otherwise sbe was ao ordinary every day kind of a girl. The lightning rapidity with which she took down John's notes fairly staggered that gentleman, he being a novice at dictation. But, alas! she could not rend her notes; when the attempted to do so the Empirf ataie express speed with wiiich she had taken them down now slowed down to the favorite gait of a Fifth avenue stage, and the poor girl in her despair tore her bangs out by the handful whet: trying to * jemembcr what she had written, and the plHre which once knew Miss Moore, Knew her no more. Mia* Amelia Thickly, Miss Moore's ?? ?fuccessor, was rather short in stature, but what she lacked in that respect she more than made up for in width, in fact die was nearly as broad as she was long. As a stenographer Miss Thickly gave Mr. .Ilraudon perfect satisfaction, but she was terribly hard on the office caairs, the manoer in which they creaked and groaned under her weight made John so cervous that he grew thin, and his type v. riter continued to gain in flesh, as ihough trying to make up for what bo out in avoirdupois. Five chairs had become total wrecks under the strain brought to hear on them, and when the sixth, the sole survivor of the wreck of the half dozen he had I'ou^lit, weut to pieces all at once, like ' the deacon's one hots shay," patience had ceased to be a virtue, and Mr. BranJon paid Miss Thickly two weeks' salary in advance and that yoong lady is now seeking employment elsewhere. Miss Mary Bonely, the next occupant of the stenographic chair in the office of Mr. Brandon *vas very unlike her predecessor in oiheo. She was a very :ogular young person, and had the appearance of being all cornets. Her eU >ows were so sharp that when she acciicntnlly touched John la the ribs with ?a? 01 ius.t? jo p>??ir(? ?nm, be thovgbt somebody bad atuck a pio into bis anat>uiy. iler elbows were her bane, she eeiued to Lave no coutrol over them vliatever. Tim, the office boy, had hern pushed iuto his eyes every time 10 went near her to get the letters o copy. Tho consequeuco was hat that young gentleman invariably iad one of his optics draped in purple ind line linen. Mary had a little lambike habit of meditating quite frequently luring business hours, and when she neditated she generally leaned her eldow8 on her desk. Result two holos n it and an honorable discbarge. Mr. Brandon was certainly very unfortunate, fie bad had to let twx> good operators go, out ot respect to bis furniture. Miss Tabitha Tinkham made application in writing, for the vacant position of stenographer in John Brandon's establishment. Sbe stated that she had an experience of many years and was sure die could give satisfaction. If engaged by Mr. Brandon she requested permission to bring her own chair, salary not beiug so much ' of an object as a comfortable position. The chair clause of tho letter captured John, and he wrote to Miss Tinkham that he shoud be nlcascd if she would report for duty as soon as possible. When Mr. Brandon arrived at his office the following morning Mies Tabtfha Tmkham was there. She was neatea in a rocking chair that an expressman had just brought in, and by her side, on the floor, was a black cat that looked as though gome one had attempted to electrocute it, and the manner in which it elevated its spine when may one approached would have caused a domedary to die of envy could ho have witnessed this acrobatic performanco. Miss Tabitha Tinkham was a maiden lady of uncertain ago and she wore polka dot dress, black mittens and an angelic smile. Her hair was of a warm auburn hue, slightly sprinkled with gray, so that the little pug at the back of her head resembled a dwarfed sugared doughnut. In front she wore a little ringlet at cither side resembling short fat gimblets. This lady was also the possessor of a squaky voice and was just a "lectio bit deaf." Now, Mr. Brandon had had eo many trials and tribulations in all of his transactions witb typewriters that he undoubtedly would have retained Miss Tinkham in his service for the remainder of her natural life, if it had not been for three things, her deaf-' rcss, her rocking chair and her cat. The trouble was, that on account of the slight impediment in her auricular organs he had to get pretty close to her in order to make her understand what he wished to have her write, and the consequence was that the rocker mashed his toes all out of shape, and when his torture caused hiiu to groan, tho cat elevated her or his back to euch an enormous height that it fairly made John's bair staud on end. When he Informed Miss Tinkhctn that, though he respected her very much as a lady and a scholar, and was very sorry to part with her, her cat and rocking chair made it necessary for hitu to do so, she became so very hard of hearing that he had to invest in an car trumpet before ho could prevail on this cstiraablo maiden lady to depart with her furniture and pet feline io peace. What a poor, weak creature man is, the conclusion of this narrative will abundantly prove. Mr. Brandon declared that "he wa9 disgusged with women in general, but with lady typewritists in particular," and though he had suffered many disappointments, like Bruce, of Scotland, he thought he would "try, try, try again." Miss Maud Milton, Miss Tiokham's successor, was such a contrast to that ] ancient dame in every respect that John j Brandon could not help gazing at her. 1 lie tirst thought she was very pretty and ended up by considering her positively handsome, fie would lay awake nights wondering whether the color of hei eyes were a deep blue or of a violet shade, and her voice he thought was the most musical he had ever heard. John Brandon's correspondence at this tiuac must have aasumcd enormous proportions for he was dictating letters to his new stenographer from morning till night, and when Mi9s Milton asked him "if she should take them home to make type-written copies of them," big John Brandon blushed like an overgrown schoolgirl.

It has recently been ascertained that the transpi rational activity is most vigorous in ths early stages of a flower, while it stit possesses soft tissues only, that trans juration diminishes with growth, and that there is very little transpiration after the bud is half grown. Later on when the flower opens, thero is again ai increase in trnnspiratlon, and this in rrease is continuous until the death o the flower. The flower early reaches th? end of its term of existence?about thi time of opcuiog; from that time forward decay in all the tissues commences, and the water in the cells is in a less staph state of combination. Indeed, fron that time forward the term transjiiratioi might almost he changed for ?vapora tion. A flower, thoiefore, really fadei more from tho drying out of moisturi than from any act of vital power, whicl we understand by the term transpiration To sum up, transpiration is very activt in the young bud, increasing gradually until it ceases to swell, then again bo coming active, reaching its greatest ae f.ivihtr iilfit o? if ia nlmiit In Atwin C""" - that tune forward transpiration is prac tically evaporation, and continues in ftil activity until tlio whole flower dries up ?New York Independent. THE FAB* AND GARDEN. rOOD FOB OALVM. Id behalf of the calves tbe Jersoy Bulletin begs to remiod those who are feeding separated skim milk that it is a very, very thin food. It needs to be generously reinforced with some fleshforming and fat-making substance, such as boiled flaxseed, linseed oil meal,, gruel or ocher like substance. In the: moat careful hand-skimming there is more or less fat left in the skim milk, and it is therefore a little better calf! food, but even hand-skimmed milk is very poor reliance as a steady diet unless reinforced by something of more substanco. Do not forget this. r GOOD KABUT CU0S8. Experiments made by crossing an Indian game malo with Plymouth Bock hens, the post season, resulted in tuuiv very vuoice rauie oirus, ana wmca old readily in the market. The ODly objection was the leggy appearance of the chicks when about half grown, but their appearance did not indicate truly their weight, as every one weighed at: least half a pound more than other, chicks of the same age, from different crosses, while their quality was far above that of any other market cross made. The game improves all other breeds for. the table, but the chicks seem to be somewhat tender when young.?Manchester Mirror and Farmer. KBBP A RECORD OF NEWLY-SET TREES. It is not good policy to trust wholly to memory or labels for the record of newly-' set trees. In setting a new orchard or filling in an old one, or setting various kinds of trees about the house, make a record of it in a book kopt for the purpose and placed where it will be accessible at all times. The same applies to small fruits. This record will not only be an aid to the one who plants them, but to those who may take his place. Also note the date of planting, and how old they were when set. Some trees and vines need to be trimmed and managed differently from others, to obtain the best results, and to know just where they are located is a good thing. Plants and shrubbery with long, difficult names should also be rooordcd in tho book, with both the common and botanlcat namo. Record the season of bloom; and if any special care or cultivation is recommended, write it out, or, what is better, paste in the printed directions with your notes.?American Agriculturist. PURSLANE LOVERS. The purslane weed is of some use, If it is a nuisance of the larm. The hogs are especially fond of it, and as it is good for them there is no reason why the weed should not be given to them. AU farmers are more or less acquainted with the weed and know full well how it thrives. When they are killing tho weeds, and if it can be done without danger to crops, let the hogs have the run ot the field. Then watch and see what a perfect picnic the porkers will have. If it is not possible to give the pigs the run of the fields gather all the weeds Eostible and throw it to them. We now of a farmer who makes it a practice to go every mcroing and pull a good amount of the weeds for the pigs. Hs claims that in tho morning is the best time to give them this food, and say/ they enjoy it more. But we think the time of day to give the pigs the weeds is immaterial, and the best time is when you think you have enough weeds collected for them.?American Farmer winteiuno rnuiT wood, i Grapes can be grown even in the coldest sections, if the vines are laid down on the soil in November, so as to be coveted with snow, and this is an easy matter with their pliant stems. Proiessor Budd says that peach trees have been fruited in Iowa by using the same preservative means. Their stiff, branchy nature ill adapts thein to lyiug down, but this difficulty, as explained in the Kural New Yorker, is overcome by reducing the young trco to a single bare stem after one year's growth. This stem is bent fiat to the ground late in the fall: the roots beiDg bent or cut to make it nracfcicahle. Ahmifc five feet nf ?i?m remain permanently horizontal and tn't point grown upward and is allowed to branch; but chiefly in line with the prostrate stem, and is staked to hold it erect. In the next fall the top is easily bent down to one side or the other and held flat by billets of wood. The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can b< fruited with similar care to let only tlue< or four cancs grew in a hill in suramei and to weight these down for the win tcr. It i3 best not to cover any of such laid down shoots with eaith as, if mild weather occurs before April, the fruit buds may swell and rot. A difficulty id the case of the beach tree is its tendency to making rauk growth late in summer, which cannot ripen well. The bending and training indicated above aie likely to check this over production of sofi wood and to induce more flowering budi and shoots. * ^ KXFKMMIKTS WITH OATS. ?? Experiments have been made at the Illinois station on rate and depth ol seeding, and tests of vanetiei of oats. All were made on tho fertile dark-colorei soil of the station grounds. Welcome oats were sown on seven plats, each one by sixteen rods, at tbo rate of from oue to four bushels per acre. Tiie yields of both gruin and straw for each of the four : years the experiment h is been in progress and the averages of tho four years aro tabulated for each rate of seeding. The largest yield of grain in 1891 was from sowing three and one-half bushel* per acre with little variation between the plats sown at the rate of two, two and one-half, three, three and one-half and four bushels per acre. The average yields for four veara were much the same aathi nbove. One or one aod a half bushel* gave smaller Average yields thin any of the heavier seeding*. The weight of the grain per bushel was lets in the case of the light scediog. As to depth of covering the indications were that the returns were slightly better from covering two inches deep, though in trials for four years the best results have not come from covering the same depth in any two years. Tho average yield per acre in tests of forty-four varieties on 6fty-tive plats in 1890 and 1891 was (16.6 bushels of grain, weighing 33.5 pounds per bushel, and 2840 pounds ofsti.tw. The early-maturing varieties are those harvested July 6 to 14; the medium, July 16 to 20, and the late. July 24 to * - '.* ifi : it - 3V.* The enrly-uuturlDg varieties art superior' to eUher the medium or late in the average lyield of both grain and straw, the weight per bushel and size of berries, but are inferior to either o' these in per cenk of kernel; the dun-colored gate the smallest yield and the largest per cent, of kernel. As to the panicles, open or cloeqd, the latter are superior in yield of botl} grain and straw and also in per cent, of kernel. ? As to weiglft^er bushel, those which weigh less thah thirty-two pounds are superior in hdth yield and per oent. of kernel. Notwithstanding the common belief to the contrary, it is said thosr >ats which weigh least to the buslol have usually the highest per ccut. of kernel and consequently the highest food value. Thirty varieties havo bccu tested for three years and fourteen additional for two years. No one variety has been shown to be greatly superior to all others. A different variety stood first in yield in each of the three year* ?New York World. SALT MARK8 1COKB MILK. It is being reported as something new that the giving of salt to cows has the effect of increasing the yield of milk. There is nothing new in this except to those persons wno are beginners in int business of keeping cows, or who do not read a paper in which any information on this subject is regularly given. It is a very simple matter. Milk is made only from the food that is digested. If the Tood is not digested, not only is there a loss of material of which milk may be made, but the cow does -not feel well. Both these are conducive to a decrease of the milk. But when a cow is regularly .supplied with salt, not only is she satisfied with this gratification of her tastes and inclinations, but the digestion of the food is perfect, and the result is that the milk yield is up to the highest nAini TK/l rll/voof iva #1 s] nnn liUIUl AUV UI^WVIVO UUIU VyUU3llW IU part of a hydrochloric acid, of which salt is partly made up, and thus this indispensable agent of digestion is supplied to the cows. Salt is thus as much a food as sugar, which goes so largely to maintain the vital heat and support life, and it should be given to all animals that do not live wholly on animal food, and in proportion to the amount of vegetable food they consume. The staple supply 4?+?rinined upon by experts la two ounces toi a co w, one ounce for a horse, a dram for a sheep per day, and a small quantity at in tervals of a few days for swine and poul try. The quantity given to a cow ia for the reason that she gives milk which contains salt, and thus needs more than a horse, but a mare that is nursing a foal ahould have an increased allowance, although this is rarely thought of.?American Dairyman. riRlf AMD GARDEN NOTES. ? Tomatoes should not grow too much vine. Potatoes should be kept in the coolest and darkest place possible. Low-growing vegetables may be cultivated between berry bushes. The wool from well fed sheep is much better than from half-starved ones. When transplanting, havo the rooti straight and in their natural position. There is no profit in letting beet make wax. Honey is what is wanted, not wax. . TomsR leaves aro also Mid to make a good insecticide if steeped in water and sprinkled over plants. Poorly kept sheep will not make the owner rich, nor do much towards building up the fertility of the soil. too wood queen-excluders do not seem to take much. The bees enlarge the cuts and the queens go above. If the weeds have started up in the wheat fields in many cases it will be found a good plan to turn in the sheep. If the fowls get too fat give thoin some grain not rich in carbo-hydrates. Oats as a single food will tend to lessen the fat. , Juicy grass, in addition to preventing many diseases to which swine are heir to, improves the quality of its flesh greatly. See that the poultry exbibitc 1 at the fairs have airy coops. II they are neat and uniform in size the display will sho w off heater. Excelsior ? the material used by upholsterers?is said to be an excellenl thing for beekeepers. When ignited il makes a dense smoke. After careful experiments it has been found that a hog should never be fed beyoud eight or nine months of age, as there is no profit in it. If you have late batched turkeys it will be well to see that they do not get into the grass until the dew is off even though the sun is bright. The cause of the death of bees in t hive is quite often due to starvation. And what may seem worse, the owner ol the apiary rarely knows the cause. If the yards and pens are not naturally drained, let them be dinined nrtiflcally. Stagnant water is often the honinnin serious aod fatal diseases among poultry. The unsightly little toad is useful, it not ornamental. Knats, bugs, slugs and moths vanish quickly when he ii around, so let him make bis home in thi garden. Do not wait until winter before thi cleaning out of the hen house. Yot may have been neglecting that "chore" during the "busy season" of harvesting. Neglect it no longer. In shipping poultry do not crow 1 too coops too full. Besides the sufferings caused the fowls, the death of two ot three will take off the expected profits and cause disappointment. ; Oult'vate late potatoes the same as the spring crop.

Why some seals sink and are lost after being shot and others float, is s mooted question not likely soon to b? , docided. Wnere they are struck 01 whether they have much or little blubber, all of which have been urged to account for the anomaly, seems to haw little or no influence. It has been often observed that a seal falling head down on being shot will come up and float while if the head is up he sinks and it lost. It may be that in the latter case he more readily fills. With weak seal or pups it has been seen that they, too are often not recovered. Of those that are killed, discarding pups, the chancet seem to be about equal as to whethei they will siuk or float. Sometimes s considerable interval elapses before thi dead body rises to the surface and hash or carelessness may loose it. The great damage to the sealing industry lies ua> doubtedly in the indiscriminate killing .which lays low so many cows on theli way to the islands, heavy with young, whereby two lives are lost.
