BALLAD OF DREAMLAND.
I hid my heart, in a nest of roses.
Out of the SUB'S rays hidden apart.
In a softer bed than the soft white snows is,
Under the roses I hid my heart
Why should I sleep not? Why should it start
When never a leaf the rose tree stirred t
What made sleep flutter Ills wings and part!
Only the song of a secret bird
Lie still, I said, for the wind's wing closes,
Aud mild leaves muffle the keen sun'a dart;
Lie still, for the wind on the warm sea doses.
And the wind is unquieter yet than thou art.
Does a thought in thee still as a thorn's wound
smart!'
Does the fang still fret thee of hope deferred?
What bids the lip* of thy sleep dispart?
Only the song of a secret bird.
The gimi laud's name that a charm incloses.
It never was writ in the traveler's chart,
Aud sweet ou its trees as the fruit that grows is,
It never was sold in the merchant's mart.
The swallows of dreams through its dim ileitis
dart.
And sl"ep's are the tunes iu its tree tops heard;
No bound's note wakens the wild wood hart.
Only t he ■song of a secret bird
ENVOI.
in the world of dreams 1 have chosen my part,
To sleep for a season and hear no word
i tf the true love's truth or the light love's art.

Not m> Absurd Proposition.
The problem with scientists is quite
open as to the muse of the red color of
the planet Mars. Astronomers, as u rule,
venture r guess that vegetation on that
world is red instead of green. This is
not at all absurd as a supposition Our
own planet must have a derided ly red hue
to observers during the brief season of
autumn coloring. But this is not allot'
it. All foliage and all bark are rendered
perceptibly redder as winter approaches.
The young wood of trees is redder in win-
ter than in summer. Is our own world
not slowly but'surely developing a rosier
hue? Some bunches are a deep crimson
all winter, but green all summer. It is
evident that cold weather require? the
omparative withdrawal of greou, aud tlie
omparative predominance of red. As the
world grows colder is it not growing also
redder? Mare is known to have a colder
limate than our own, and has probably
gone farther in its floral adaptations to
the cold.—Globe-Demoerat.

The Farmer Boy's Lore.
Bless the farmer boy' Onder his slouched
hat is ten times more wood lore than any
of us possess Be can tell you as the
warm spring days come whore the
ant la building her nest, how many
i be quail had yesterday down hi the
tangled weeds In the old pasture lot; he
cannot tell you the name, bnt he knows
that brown bird with spotted breast sit-
ting yonder In the deep shadows of the
woods it sing:* a sweet song that softly
echoes among the great trees like the
tinkling of silver bells, while he sits on
the moss covered rock and listens until
the shadows turn to darkness; down the
old log road he hastens home to dream of
the dark woods and green meadows, of
the foaming waters that rush bT the
great rocks, of the deep, quiet pool, barred
over with the shadows of the alders and
where the trout hide away Dies* the
farmer boy!—Forest ami Stream.
Tlie Climax of Good Form.
If your real swells waut to be really
English they must carry their respective
left hands buried to the wrist in their
respective left trousers pockets. All the
dudes in town have taken to doing it, and
every chappie on Fifth avenue after the
Wednesday matiuees was actually lop
sided with the exertion of reaching the
very bottom seam of his left trousers
pocket. If you can let the tips of the
fingers of a pair of tan colored gloves be
seen in juxtaposition to your left cuff,
just at the mouth of the pocket. you will
thereby proclaim yourself one of Wales'
strictest adherents, ye kuavv. Don't, as
you value your reputation for swellish-
ness, put your right hand in your right
pocket, for this is as much a breach of
good form as it used to be to carry your
gloves with the fingers pointing aft in-
stead of forward.—New York Mail and
Express.
Where Are Theelmw's Treasures?
The name of Theebaw, formerly king of
Burmah, has almost passed into oblivion
so far as the general public is concerned.
It has been revived in England, however,
owing to an inquiry as to what has be-
come of the treasure once possessed by
Theebaw. When Mandalay was captured
by Sir Henry Preudergast.'in 1885, Thee-
baw's palace contained booty valued at
twenty lakhs. Theebaw was permitted
to take away with him a few valuable
articles, but the larger part of his fortune
was seized by the English. And now,
after an interval of three years, .certain
inquisitive Londoners are wondering what
became of the rich spoils which fell to
t'ne conquerors.—New York World.
Victims of Misplaced f'ooSdencn.
People who visit the Wil l West show
naturally wonder why it is that the buck-
ing horses, which cavort so beautifully
when the cowboys mount them, never get
broken of their vicious habits Nate
Saulsbury explains the matter He says
that these horses are simply devilish ani-
mals, spoiled in the breaking When they
are saddled and ridden now they rewt to
their old tricks of jumping and bucking.
When the cowboy rider finds the animal
under him beginning to weaken lie jutaps
off. The vicious brute Imagines that no
has thrown his rider and goes off happy
in his ignorance. Next time he is ready
to go through the same performance. Th >
animals are simply victims of misplaced
confidence in their own athletic abilities —

Nlss Alcott's Hero WorsUlp
Miss Louisa M, Alcott, in a reminis-
cence of her childhood's days, says that
she came across "Goethe's Corresrondenee
with a Child" in Mr Emerson:3 library
when she was a youngster, raid that she
was immediately seized with a desire to
bo a second Bettina. She chose Emerson
as her Goethe, and wrote letters to him
which she never sent, and sang songs,
which she hopes he never heard, under

Injurious to Plants.
Plants are Injured by parasitic fungi In
various ways. They are deprived of
nourishment; growth is abnormally ac-
celerated or retarded, causing distortion;
not only are green parts affected, but
roots, stems, huds, flower 3 and fruit;
leaves and fruit fall prematurely; decay
is produced in ripe fruits before and after
removal from the plant, and valuable
plants receive Injury from those of less
value by ordinary infection.—A. B. Sev
mour.
A Talc from tlie North.
A tale comes from the far north, above
the Arctic circle, that mammoth carcasses
are found frozen in the ice, and that tlie
Indians chop them out and feed the meat
to their dogs. These carcasses are as well
preserved as if killed but yesterday,
although they have lain f.»r who knows
how many thousand years in a solidly
frozen state. Undoubtedly these animals
existed coeval with the glacial period and
were indigenous to a tropical climate:
therefore we must reason that this period
came 011 almost instrntaaeously. all liv-
ing animals were kilM. by the extreme
cold, and before their flesh could putrefy
it became frozen.—J.ttnetMl (Alaska) Free
Press.

A Necessary explanation.
While digging under the ruins of a
church In Brooklyn, workmen found a
water color of the original church struct-

Mrs Knomuch thinks the water In tne

The Houses of Ah.vviiaiu.
Tiie Abyssinian houses are small and
circular with roofs going to .1 point, aud
arc mostly built of bamboo or cane and
only rarely ol'wood. As a rule, tlie peo-
ple do not care for living indoors, but
prefer to spud their time in the open
air, sleeping on the ground wrapped iu a
skin or rug. The men are hardy, warlike,
combative and rather cruel. Tiieir usual
arms are a lance, a broad sharp sword,
and shield of rhinoceros hide.—St. James'
Gazette.
When iluihlinc a Theatre.
The latest English writer on theatres
.holds that a theatre should be ten feet
distant from other buildings, or at least
it should occupy a corner location. Exits
Should be provided on all sides and there
should be windows in every part of the
house, both,for ventilation and safety.—

Mechanical Curiosities.
Among the recent mechanical curiosi-
ties are a scarf pin with a bird's head

sits on the connecting axle.—Arkansaw
