And I wandered around looking "for thorns and nettles,. but fcemd that none of them grew there, and I saw the stin rise, and I watched to see it Set, but it sank not. And I saw the people in holiday attire, and I said, "Whoa will they put off this and put on workmen's garb and again delve in the -mine or swelter at the fotge?°' But they never put off the holt- day attire. And I wandered in the suburbe of the city to find the place where the dead steep, and. I looked. all elong the line of the beautiful hills, the place where the deed might *most blissfully sleem and I saw towers and Castles, but not a man- stileum or a monument or a white slab could I see. And, I went into the chapel of .the great town, and I said, "Where.do the poor worship, and Where are the hard. benches cee which they sit?" And the answer was made me, "We have no poor in this country." , And then I wandered out to find the hovels of the destitute, and I found mansions of amber and iyory and gold, but not a tear could. see, not a sigh. could I hear, and I was bewildered anu I sat down. under the branches of a great tree and paid: "Where am I?

Plucky Sparrow. The sparrow, in. whatever part of the world he is found, seems te earn a repu- tation for a degree of persistenoy and pugnacity altogether disproportdonate his size. .Even the climate of India does not enervate the valprous little creatures, and they make their way, or take it, with the same resolute impudence that they exhibit in °elder regions. In the journal of the Bombay National 'History society Lieutenant Barnes gives somesinteresting particulars about the house sparrows of westeres India. At Deese he found that a pair had built their nests between a pair of antlers on the veranda, and another pair appropriated ' a soap box in. the bathroom, where, , although their nest was destroyed several times,- they persisted in building until, out of com- passion for their repeated labors, they were left alone; A third pair 'built in an empty birdcage hanging against a wall, and there reared their little ones,although the cage was frequently taken down to exhibit the faintly to visitor& Once their eggs were stolen, and their indignant clamor was so disturbing that the resi- dents of the house. for their own :takes, were obliged to hunt up and. restore the missing treasures. Lieutenant Barnes also states that these sparrows will attack their own image in a looking glass and will fight with it all day, only leaving off when darkness sets in, to begin. the battle over again the next morning, se that it was often found necessary to protect the mir- rors with coverings. They „ are perhaps no raore brave than the fiery little Brit- ish American residents of this country, one of which not long ago disputed with a bantam cook the possession of partic- ularly delectable tidbit. The bravado of the sparrow so astonished the bantam that lie repeated in dismay, casting glances ,bf affright over his shoender, so to speak, at the small warrior, fivho, having dis- posed of the delicacy, was indulging in a fantastic war dance.—Worthington's His Specialty. The favorite game played on strangers is the "mock .ilght." Two of the local stockyard boys pretend to quareel before a farmer. One word leads to another, and in the heat of the excitement both the Contestants dravr revolvers. This is about all the average man who is aot "on" cares to see of the fracas, for by this time he is about four blocks way. One afternoon the chief clerk in one of the freight offices was down in tho yards when two fellows started a silent fight. This gentleman had heard' of this joke so realistic that he lost no time leaving before, but the fight was se su-illen and the -some of action. He even took pains to get over the fence and crawl on his - hands and knees behind a manger. When the gims were show -n. to him. and. found. to have been corncobs wrapped with tin- foil for cylinders, he said. he was reany to buy out a barroom. But, like many others, this game was worked once too often. Two fellows both well known around the yards, st:arted a sham fight before a stranger whe happened to be from Texas. Of course they didn't know this. When the part came where they drew gtms, the Texan pulled an enorm- ous 46 that looked like a gatling run on the woubi be jokers and said.

The system of handling the produce trade in the growing towns and small cities is very unsystematic in Most plpees. Instead of so many small shops and little markets 'mattered over the city it vrould be far better for con- sumers as well as producers in the busi- ness were ooncentrated if an appropri-, . ate market building at some convenient center. A typical market of this kind is the new institution just opened at the', center of the enterprising oity of Spring- field, Masa. The New England Home- stead describes it as follows: It is of yellow brick, 165 by 65 feet, containing , 84 stalls. The main down open and close by electricity. The basement contains a fine plant for cold storage of meats fruits, vegetables, eto.

NO WITNESSES REQUIRED, DESIRABLE FEED RACK It Is -Inexpensive In Its Construction Ong Saves Waste. 0 When, hay is fed loose in the barn- yard, a certain per cent of it is trampled under foot and wasted. In order to pre- vent thin, in part at least, a feed rack of sane kind should ,be ereoted in the oen- --jt";-CONY% NI:Tuk";;;I:XPENIMVIC. ier of the yard at a point which will be the mold sunny and pleasant possible. A 'writer in the New York Tribune gives an illustrated description of good rook. A 'drop% bat effectual way in which, to build one of these feed racks is to be -I gin by settting four tall posts in the ground in the, form of a rectangle, m shown in theont. Their height and -dis- tance apart *ill determine the size and capacity of the rack. Iticinadvisable, however, to make it very wide—say not over 6 fest—as some difficulty' would be experienced by the animals in pulling out the hay if bound nolidly in the cen- ter. Set the posts leaning toivard the center in order to reek° the opening wider at the bottom than at the top. This will prevent binding. and in cones- --queues the hay will readily settle as it is being eaten away from below. From about 18 inches above ground to the top of the posts the sides and ends should be boarded tightly, making it possible for the animal to get at the hay only at the To make the rack complete, a manger must be constructed entirely round the upright part. This in bent accompliehed by setting four short poste securely in the ground opposite the corners, and others between to give firmness to this part, where' pressure is brought to bear. If the manger is MOO shmting and nar- row at the bottom, it will prevent ani- mals from getting ' in, as they are often tempted to do in cold 'weather, Many consider it a good plan to cover such a rack with a shetiroof, thus always keep- ing the bay dry. This Cali be done with very little expense. And, better yet, I would adviee having a door at the front of it, hung on hinges, as represented in the illustration, no that it could be let down at will for the insertion of the hay. This Would tend to keep the fodder dry, for the most part, in any kind of weather. items In Beekeeping. In aome experiments carried out un- der the direction of the Vermont Bee- keepers' association 17 hives were placed in a ream 6 by 24 feet, capable of accommodating 24 colonim The bees, having come from different sources, were in different sized triunes, and for this reasen.vrere observed tamely to det tannin, the best form of frame to adopt in.the production of comb or extracted honey and for wintering bees. No per- ceptible difference has yet been noticed. After the met. of ,frost sugar sirup , was fed in different ways to iiest the 'ability of bees to change cane sugar into honey sugar. .Analyees are given of the honeys produced—pure honey and honey that had been adulterated with cane sug- ar. It was found that the pest homey was produced when a large quantity of sirup was fed to the bees rapidly. The resulting honey did not granulate. Wnen sirup was fed in srnall quantities for a oonsidetable time, lees sucrose was ' found on analysis, but that -Product gran- ulated. Stimulative feeding during the spring was tried, but was interrupted, and the results are inconclusive. A nonswarming device was employed with four colonies of bees, but proved a failure so far as preventing any desire to swarm. Two strong colonies running together with a nonswarmer produced less comb honey than single colonies lhat were -allowed to swarm at will. ICattle Commissioners* Work. During the last session of the. Con- nectiput state beard of agriculture GoV- ernor Ooffin, in his address; stated that during the year eading Sept. 20 the board of cattle oommissinners examined 6,126 animals, killed 787, paid to owner' $19,- 000—an average of - $25 per head—and the total expenditure by the state who $28,641.
