Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of tbe night
Onward we go, for still we hear them singing.
Come, weary souls, for Jesns bids yon come,
And through the dark its echoes sweetly ringing,
The nrasic of the gospel leads ns home.
Par, far away, like bells at evening pealing.
The voice of Jesns sounds o'er land and sea.
And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing.
Kind Shepherd, torn their weary steps to thee.
Best comes at length, though life be long and dreary;
The day must dawn and darksome night be past;
Faith's journey ends In welcome to the weary.
And heaven, the true heart's home, will come at last
Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;
Sing ns sweet fragments of the songs above,
TO morning's joy shall end the night of weeping
And life's long shadows

Tba wedding was over, tbe goodbys

"Explain yourself, sir," ordered Rob

"It may seem incredible to those

"Tbere Is only one way in which
hnckelbenics can be cultivated, and
the huckleberry fanner does not need
to own an inch of land. If he has tbe
title to one simple locifer match be
can put thousands of acres under culti

"He has only to light the match and

"Many of the fires that devastate our

TOMATOES IN WINTER.
The Best Way to Keep Tbsm Safety
In Winter.
Tbe most important conditions for
forcing tomatoes are: A warm, light
bouse one having a two-thirds spaa
facing the south beiug preferable
strong bottom beat rich soil, careful
training, uniform temperature, care in
watering and pollinating and. as be
fore suggested, good judgment and
constant watchfulness on tbe part of
tbe grower. Bottom heat is not abso
lutely essential to success, but the crop
matures more quickly if given this
condition.
To make the best nse of tbe bouse
two crops should be grown during the
Tosu.ro nuaxxD ro snout staix.
This will bring each crop oa
at a season when tbe expense of beat
ing daring a part of tbe time will be
slight Plants for the first crop ahoald
be started as early ha August If two
or more bouses are available a aecond
sowing should be made in about three
weeks to give a succession. For tbe
aecond crop seed should be sown dur
ing the utter part of October.
Tbe plants are treated la every way
as for outdoor culture till handled the
time. For fruiting some prefer
benches, with about six inches of soil.
bat In the experience of others the best
results have been obtained from the
of boxes eighteen Inches square
and twelve laches deep. Is tbe but
torn of the boxes hi placed a layer of
charcoal, broken pots or clinkers frota
tbe furnace, after which soil, consist
ing of three parts good garden loau
and one part well rutted stable ma

three inches of the top. Each bos will

by the partial confinement of the roots
seems to be of raise la hastening ma

stead of tbe boxes tbe plants are set
about sixteen Inches apart each way.

the plants are trained to a stogie stem,
as shewn hi ths illustration. Flax

are fastened to ths eoraers of ths

and teats. Tbe size la large and sub

tbe Integrby end purity uf lbs breed,
since, according to tbe well estabUsn

culiarities of other breeds with which

imported into this country some years
ago no sorb sign of crosses with for

This Integrity of tbe breed Is all the
more important because many of the
traits exhibited by these cattle are
among the most valuable.
From actual observation wo find
they cross well with other breeds, pro
ducing a very dostrable grade of cat

WORK OF THE BEAVEB
Feats Performed by This Indus
trious Little Worker.
A CLEVER HOUSE BUILDER.
He Is Capabta ef Censtreeting a Dwell
ing ei Large, Thetigti Net So High,
cs a Small Haystack, and He Can
Cut Down Big Trees With His Teeth.
Almost every e know something
about the bearer and that It boOds
dams aad houses to dwell In, but very
few people hare seen beavers ts their
wild stale. It is also s fact that tbe
race of industrious little workers is
r.ipMly disappearing. In tbe older dis
tricts beavers generally live in the
banks of the streams they Inhabit and
the sight of a leaver bouse Is uncom
mon. Where 1 earers do build booses, say
Forest and Stream, the structures dif
fer greatly la tlze. shai and location.
Some are as large, though of coarse
lees high, than a small haystack; oth
ers are hardly more than aix feet
through at tbe base. They may stand
either wholly on land or partly hi tbe
water and Jiartly on tbe bank or whol
ly In the water.
Tbey are never placed In very deep
watr, for a bane most be built for th
bouse to sUind on reaching op to the
surface, since tbe chamber inhabited
by the occupants must be dry.
Tbe shax- of tbone booses on the
shore approaches the conical. Those in
tbe water are more irregular, some
times only round "d. at others kang and
rather Bat on top.
Within each boons and connected
with the water by a concealed passage
through which tbe !-aer peas to and
fro to the chamter which ia the an
mals dwelling place.
It is Urge enough to contain seven or
eight of tbem and high enough so that
a beaver can conveniently alt np on his
haunches, it bt warm, dry and clean,
for tbe beaver is extremely neat In all
his habits.
Tbe food of tbe beaver consists
chiefly of tbe green bark of twigs sad
young limb of various trees. Cotton
wood bark bt preferred; then comes
willow, then alder, bat tbe bark of
almost any tree may be eaten.
I hsve knows them to eat pin and
whit cedar. Tbe beaver often eats
down trees of very considerable size to
get st th smaller limbs, which they
eat
I bar seen cotton wooda twenty
Inches to ammeter so cat sad one oa
Vancouver Island I found a
aad oos-half feet through which they
had gnawed down.
Tbe work of cutting dowa a Urge
tree Is don by s stngl anlaial
bar aeen tbe bearer engaged ia the
operation, which la as follows: Tbe
beaver alts ap on his hanncbes facing
ths tret and with its for paws rest
ing sgalnst it With its bead tamed
on one side be cats s groove above
and then on below and biles out th
chin, taking it off to almost the
way aa axmaa would.
He that saves himself tbe trouble
of gnawing all the wood op Into fine
rottinga. When tbe tree as felled th
whole eommonlty attack and cot ap
the tender limbo, carry trig then away
to tbe cache.
fnllke many ef err gnawing aal-
mala, tbe beaver dues rx sleep throng
the winter. lie remains active, eftea
restoring abroad during the whole of
tbe cold weather. He moat, therefore,
have food, and a large part ef th
sonimer and astasia is devoted to se
curing this food aad depoetttng it ts
racers. This food caslts of th
limbs aad twigs of lb trees
femd by tbe beaver.
Tbey are rut from one aad a half
to three feet baig. stripped of their
loaves and smaller taiga, carried to
the water and floated to th each,
where tbey are sunk. And her cesses
These stfc'ks art floated to ta each
