The Wliito Island.
In Counterpane country are bills of snow.
Smooth and white (or the weary foot;
And blossoms o( healing that greonly grow.
All untarnished by frost or heat
And dreamy rivers their sea do meet.
Never rippled by wind or rain ,
And shadows walk in the silent street
That leads through ths city of Counterpane.
On Counterpane coast there are breakers low.
Whispering echoes of ancient rhyme;
"Bwaying and shimmering to and fro,
And ainiring softly from time to time.
And if on the uiilk-whito cillTs you climb,
A beautiful rounded cwnrd you gain,
Where scents of lilac and flowering liino
t ome down from the oity of Counterpnne.
From Counterpane hills you may ga/.o below
On dusky forest and dim ravine;
No fear of evil that land doth know.
Nor oares nor sorrows therein are soon.
Hut the lords of May-be and Hust-huve-beon
Bid one ride in their golden train,
And a languorous, luminous glow serene
SuJTuses the city of Counterpane.

A Water-Barrel Cure.
Mrs. Priscillu Mundy was bard at
work over the vvcrk's wash, wlicu a
loud knock on used lier to wipe her
red, suds-blistered bauds, smooth out
her tlnu hnsr, roll down her sleeves,
and walk quickly to the door.
A woman of her own uge and her
exact counterpart, so far as fueo and
form were concerned, stood in the
rickety perch, surrounded by a big
collection of bags, baskets and bundles.
'Matilda." cried Mrs. Mundy.
And then tears moistened her eves
and she clasped the visitor iu her bouv
arms.
Tilt; newcomer then returned the
embrace anil kissed Mrn. Muudy affectionately.
"You look awful worn anil tired,
Priscilln," hiie observed, as tin; latter
let! I lie way into the meanly furnished
?... How's everThody ?"
Mrs. Muudy sighed before alio made
rcplv. Sin- hud a giv ?t l isinon of
sighing of into, and goodujss knows

"I'm wushiug," she answered, apologetically,
"and 1 suppose tlio liartl
work does make a hotly look worn and
tired. The children are all well.
They're nil at school except Tommy.
He's gone to town with his fathor."
"So he's gone to town," observed
Matilda, with a particularly strong
emphasis on the "lie's."
"Yes," was the faint response.
"In harvest time, too, and all the
place going to ruck and ruin right under
his eyes,just for lack of attention!
Priscilln, why don't vou nut your foot
down?"
"Oh, Matilda," wah tho faint protout.
'Now, look, lioro, Priseilla Mittidy j

"I'll attend toiiiui!" wis Matilda's
eoiilident nnd rat i r spiteful an >w?o.
"Say no more about it."
And Mrs. Mun I \, who reeognivr.-d
and tell powerle- to r> ii-t tli?? siipei
rior w i.i force of her sister, allowed
herself to he "male up." And when
the couch stopped at the door on its
return triji she was ready for the vi- it
to her brother John, who lived twenty
miles distant.
In one of her sister's neat-fitting
dresses,with a snow white cellar at
iier throat and a hit of rihhon in iter
hair, gloves on her cillottsed hands,
and a smart hoiinet > her head, she
very closely lesetahled Matilda, who
had put on ?'!i" of Mrs. Mnudy's calico
house drcsscH and stood near her
to bid her good bye.
"Now, have a good time, Priscilla,"
Bin: said, as she gavo the poor woman
%
a farewell kisa. "I'll keep thing*
moving at home."
When the conch rolled awav and
was lost from view in a oloud of dust
Miss Matilda Bebco entered the
house and resumed her interrupted
work.
B_v 3 o'clock the clothes were hanging
on the line, the kitcheu had beeu
cleared up, and the other rooms swept
and tho beds niAde.
Now she hustled about preparing
supper, and was mixing up dougu for
a cake when a small boy knocked
timidly at the kitcheu door.
"Well?" was Mutildu's iuquiry, as
sho opened the door.
& luiioc, mi.i luuiidji ui/^nu mv?
urchin, "ma sent mo over to ask you
if Willie an' the girl* coulil atop at
our house to-night?"
"Yes, they can stay," was tho answer
; and tho boy, with a mutterod
"Thankee, mom'." bobbed his head
and ran away.
"Now I'll havo him nli to myself,"
said Matilda aloud, aiul her sharp
eyes twinkled maliciously. "And I'll
be bound he'll learn a lesson this day
that he won't soou forget?tho
brute!"
SShe had supper on tho table when
the sounds ot wheels were heard, and
peeping through the window, she saw
a rod wagon with yellow wheels,
drawn by a bony horse just turning
the corner of the house.
A man and a boy wore on the seat.
Tho boy was driving and tho man
reeled backward and forward whenever
tho wheel of tho vehicle ran
against an obstruction.
"Drunk, as usual," was Matilda's
comment, as tho wagon halted before
tho kitchen door.
Tho mnn alighted mid walked unsteadily
towards the house. Tko boy
drove tko horse uu to tko burn.
Tko fuoo of tlm niun, wlio ivuh no

and staggered into tko room.
Matilda looked up quiekly and hor

and strode towards her.
"Don't ye look at ino Mint way," ho
cried, balancing on bis heels. "Give
mo my supper'"
"When supper's ready you can kavo
it," answered Matilda, quietly, although
her iips twitched convulsively
and her hands wore clasped nervously.
"And when you come into tko house
you needn't kick down the doors.
They were made for to bo opened."
"What?" gasped the man.
"Yon hoard what J said," answered
Matilda. "i'111 tired of your bullying
and I want you to stop it, or it'll bo
worse for you,"
Tom Mnmlv stared at the woman lie
supposed bis wife 111 mute astonishment.
She had never talked to him
like this before, and he did not know
what to make of it.
"I'll do what I please in my own
heu.se'" ho cried, hotly.
"I reckon yoti won't, if yon go
showing me any more of your tantrums.
"
"1 won't, hey?" ho cried, and raising
In-, foot, he k.eked the table spitefully.
"We'll see who's master hero."
The blow was a powerful one, and
the table, with its load of china fell
to the floor with a crash.
Mi-s Matilda 1>< b e sprang towards
the vandal, nu t her gray eyes flashed

"We will see who is master herd"
she eried.
And before the astonished man
could comprehend the meaning of her
Huddou onslaught, she seized hi in
around the waist, pinioning his umis
close to his sides, lifted titm from the
floor uud bore him, kicking nnd struggling,
through the open door.
A barrel of ruin water stood under

For an hour sho ronriinod closeted '
with the uow thoroughly sobered
inuu, nud when they finally came out
uud entered tho house, there were <
tracos of tears in tho oyos of both.
Little Tom, hearing tho uproar, had
remained at tho barn, atid whou Matilda
had cleared up tho broken
crockery and arranged the table, wont
ont and callod liim in to supper.
Tom Mundy ate his food in silouco
and tours occasionally started to his

ELECTRIC PLOWS.
Oerman Farmers Harness the Newest
Force in Nature.
Speedy Machines That Turn Four
Furrows at Once.
Eleotricity has reached tho fariu,
ind tho German farm at that?tho
farm which in incomparably tardy iu^
adopting now means to old ends. It
is tho farm which hasn't yot givon up
the use of women or draught utiimuls
*nd burden bearers; yet it shows en
terpriso superior to our own in being
first to harness the newest forco in nature
to the plow. Steam plows havo tloue
lervioo in America for thirty yours,
rhoy enabled us to innko prodigious
jouquests in agriculture, and extract
riches from lields on which mere man
labor would scarcely have boon profitable.
As the steam plow and its assistants?sower,
reaper, binder, thresher
?wore superior to manual labor, so
the electric plow and its accompaniments
are superior to steam machines.
Out) soon will need a technic tl education
to "farm it."
Steam plows were expensive to build
lud to operate; they were uiiweihly
in size, and there often was difticiilty
in keeping them supplied with water,
riid an engine without water is useless.
Eiectric plows are much cheap?r,
lighter, more easily moved, may be
employed on small farms, and can be
used at a greater distance from the
motor. Our Consul at L lipsic has
transmitted to his homo ollioe some
facts about its construction and employment.
He says that, for f irming
en a large scale the elementary power
is produced by a stationary engine
and transferred to a motor mounted
on the plow itself.
Iu the cable cur fashiou the plow is
drawn over tiie Held nlong a chain
held tnnt. On reaching the end ot
the chain, the plow is tiltc.l to one
side, and the s.inplo reversal of the
current sets the plow going in the opposite
direction. In returning, it deposits
the chain sideways, ready for
the next row of furrows. The three
ground anchors that hold tlio chain
are easily moved to tlio next furrow.
For sinaii farming there is required
an agricultural portuhlo engine of
eight to twelve horse power, which
may stand on the edge of the field to
he plowed. It drives tlio dynamo,
which is on a wheeled car. As soon
as the engine is set up tlio dynamo
cur is placed straight before it, fastened
into the ground, the driving
wheel of the engine is connected by a
belt with a pulley ou the dynamo, and
the apparatus is ready for work.
Electricity thus generated is transmitted
to the motor on tho plow
through cables attached at certain
distances to carriages, as shown in
the picture herewith. Thus the moving
plow is enabled to always keep its
connection with the electric plant.
For large operations thero are three
ami fotir share plows that will in ten
hours plow two anil one-half acres of
Innil to a depth of 13 3-4 inches. It
is vastly interesting to see these ninchiues
turning up four furrows at
once at excellent speed. Leaving out
of account tho cost of the engine?
winch many farmers have for threshing
purposes?the expense of ploughing
l?v electricity may be as follows:
t flremnn, ten hours M
I driver, ten hours 84
i l oys.ten hours 73
Interest and sinking fund for working
capital and repairs, excluding oleetromotor.

per 100 days 63
Fuel, 400 kilograms . 'i. 16
Lubrication .48
Two loads of water 04

"With eight acres in ten hours on
heavy soil, with a depth of!). 24 inches,
the cost would bo $1.2:) an acre, as
against $2.74, tin) cost of doing the
work with oxen," writes Consul Duelerlcin.
"In comparing with tho cost j
of the latter, even with a depth ofl
ni:Tv>\7o' trnia ll.'S to 1">.H inches,
the electric plow is still I?y fur tincheaper.

Chinese Bice Paper Making.
The rice-paper tree, ono of tho most
interesting of the flora of China, lias*
recently been successfully experimented
with in Florida, where it now flourishes,
with other sub-tropical and Oriental
species of treos and shrubs, says
the St. Louis Republic. When first
transplanted in American soil, the experimenters
expressed doubts of its
hardiness, fearing that it would bo unable
to stand tho winters. All these
fears havo vanished, however, and it
is now the universal opinion that it is
as well adapted to the climnto of this
country as to that of tho fumed Flowery
Kingdom.
It. im ik M'nnll irnn <vrntvin<v to A
height of less thiiu fifteou feet, with a
trunk or stem from threo to flvo
inches in diamoter. Its canes, which
vary in color according to souson, nro
large, soft and downy, tho form somewhat
resembling that noticed in those
of the castor bean plaut. Tho celebrated
rice paper, tho product of this
queer tree, is formed of thin slices of
the pith, which is taken from tho
body of tho tree in beautiful cylinders
several inches in length.
The Chinese workmen apply tho
blado of a sharp, straight knife,
to these cylinders, and, turning them
round either by rude machinery
or by hand, dexterously pnre the pit
from the circu inference to center.
This operation makes a roll of extra
quality paper, the scroll being of
equul thickness throughout. After a
cylinder has thus been paired, it is
unrolled nud weights are placed upon
it until the surface is rendered uniformly
smooth throughout its entire
length. It is altogether probable
that if rice paper making becomes au
industry in the United States these
primitive modes will uii bo done away
with.
The Wildest Spot on Earth.
The barkeiitinc Marion arrived recently
with nine miners, returning in
various conditions of doxvn-hoarteduess
uud jubiluncy from Turungain
Arm, a bright opening into Cook's inlet,
Alaska. Every miner who hail
good luck deelares that there is no
place on earth like Tiirungain Arm,
and every miner that struck a claim
that did not pan out well states confidentially
that this Alaska mining
boom is all a humbug and sham.
All the returning miners on tho
Marion agree, however, that tho camp
on Cook's inlet is tho wildest small
place in tho world today. It is so fur
removed from tho rest of the world
iliut the miners have been compelled
to bo a law unto themselves. Thero
nr.i covpriil hiiinireil nf them ill) there.
and in spite of the inducements of the
pokor game and the faro table there
lias not been n fight in camp. The
men ull speak of it as sure proof that
it is the restrictions of civilization
that make men light.
The miners have taken up claims on
both sides of the creek flowing into
Tnrnaguiu Arm, and have a variety of
rude contrivances to aid them in washing
tliu dirt that is full of line, flaky
gold. Some of those men have dono
very well. A miner named Itiley,
who was a passenger on tbo Marion is
credited with having made this
season. Duccy, another of the passengers
on the barken tine, struck a
lead that was paying Sol) a day when
he left to get more machinery.?San
Francisco Examiner.
l)o Fishes Talk.'
A naturalist has keen making some
investigations in the lisli ponds at
Guilford with regard to tlio much delated
question as to whether fish can
communicate a notion of their experiences
to other lishes. The experimenter,
when ho had caught a trout,
threw it back alive into the pond.
Then lie put in a fresldv baited hook.
hikI only two or three trout eiuno
alter it. l>v expcriiu :nting in another
pond, equally well stocked, and not
throwing hack any fish, Mr. Field
found that he could eateii trout without
any trouble. The; seems to show
that captured fishes when released do
communicate their snlVerings to their

Primitive Methods.
('yprus methods of agriculture are
of the most primitive descriptions.
The plow in use hi Cyprus is just
what Virgil describes. They haven't
changed their implements of agriculture
for 'J, "1)0 years. As for the
threshing doors, they are precisely
what they were in Palestine in the
days of Arnunah the Jehu si to. Every
village has one or more of these.
The record of train accidents during
tlio month of August shows that
there were U2 in all, of which fiftythrco
were collisions, soventy-ono derailments
and eight other accidents.
Forty-nine persons were killed and
140 injured.

a quart of flour should bo put into a

rubbed and squeezed with the hands
as if the flour wero water. After it
has received a good shaking, it will
look as fresh and good as ever. Laco
should never bo ironed, for by so doing,
it is robbed of its flue appeurance.
