MOTHER. At twittffht here I sit alone, Tet not aione; for thought of the Pale Images of pleasure flown JJke homing- birds, return to me, Afaln the shining .chestnut braids Are soft enwreatned about thy brow. And light a light that never fades Beams from thine eyes upon me even now. As, all no dimmed by death and night, Remembrance out of distance brings Thy youthful loveliness, alight With ardent hopes and high imaginings. Ah. mortal dreams, how fair, how fleet! Thy yearnings scant fulfillment found; Dark L,ethe long hath laved thy leet. And on they slumber breaks no troub ling sound; Yet distance parts thee not from me. For beauty or of twilight or of morn ' Binds me, still closer binds, to thee, Whose heart sang to my heart ere I was born. Florence Earle Coates, in the Century. What Is Love? Sy Edit!) L. Joslitt. 'J The man was young and wore his youth with all the grace of a man well governed and well trained. He lay on the eoft, sweet brown needles under the tall, splendid pines, and listened to the wind singing in their branches high above his head and his thoughts 6trayed Into strange and divers ways. And most thought he of love, for he was a young man. After idly musing for a time he became mere serious and suddenly startled himself out of his revery by abruptly asking: "What is love, I wonder, anyway?" And he who had been so lanquid and tranquil but a moment before seemed strangely agi tated and the question hammered it- )lf out again in pulse and brain. -What is love? All at once a new sound stole into the chaos that was existing within him and like the cool delicious rain to the parched and thirsty fields, so was this new sound to his troubled brain. Bit by bit It grew distinct until the man no longer heard his question but in Its stead the melody of sweetly blend ed voices giving him an answer to it. Ho threw himself back on the pine needles and relaxing his over-taxed forces prepared to listen and to learn. The melody that he heard was the voices of the fresh, green branches , of the pines over his head. "Love is life, love Is beauty. Love is duty, love is everything In the world," sang they. 'Then they stepped and one voice sweeter than the rest addressed him. "Oh, mortal man, wouldst thou know vrkat love is? It -Is to us in its acme the caress of the soft south wind as he comes singing through the forest, and the chill, hard cold blast of the north wind as it wraps us about in its death dealing embrace is our sorrow of love. That to us, oh man, is love. That which deals us all our joy and all our sorrow." And the voice of the pine tree was silent and another voice rich with dainty fragrance spoke and the .man turned his head to behold a sweet "violet growing at his feet. "IjQv dear man," said the violet, ""is to me as It is to my sister the pine tree, that which is all my joy and all my sorrow. For the dew whoso light kiss is the life giving, anon turns to Ice and chills me Into insensibility and yet is the dew, my love," and the -violet hung her fair head as though he modest tirade had frightened her gentle souL Then up spoke a bright little buttercup that grew just outside the woods: "My love, ch, mortal, Is the beautiful sun. His warm rays are such a joy to me, such a delight, but of, what misery I know when he frowns or be comes wantonly cruel and scorches me with his passion. So do I knw love," and the buttercup lifted her prettj head and smiled fondly at hor lover.- And es the man lay thinking of what he had hea:d ho s:vw a woman approaching:. She was beautiful v.dih all the splendid beauty of maturity and as she ne-aied him he felt his pulses beat ri:.icr for her rendus. 2: a. she riiv: ir.i.

It is the be ginning and the end of all things. It is the essence of God himself." The man's breast was filled with a great longing, and he reached up to ward this maiden, but light as a bird she was away and speeding through the pine woods. Quick and eager, he was in pursuit. She glanced over her shoulder and addressed him: "Thy heart has been sleeping, when it awakes only canst thou hope to catch love," and then she turned and sped on out of the woods into the sunlight. Like one in a trance, he stumbled on in headlong chase, but when he, too reached the open the fair form was gone. Only a soft white cloud hung on the eastern horizon, like a woman's form, seemed to wave its willowy arms and beckon him on. The man turned and went slowly across the meadow. "Love is life, and to live is to love" he whispered softly, "I am just awakening, dear heart," and he hastened his steps, and his face showed eager anticipation. Boston Post. FARMERS' ARITHMETIC. How English Farmers Measure Space and Weight. Farmers have an arithmetic pecul iarly their own. Thte is. essential, seeing that their conditions for, buy ing and selling are totally different from those of ordinary tradesmen. Suppose, for instance, you wanted to purchase a farmer's crop of turnips in a ten-acre field, the townsman would be at his wits end to judge the weight of the roots in that field. The experienced farmer, however, would find it an easy matter to arrive at a correct calculation. Turnips or swedes are usually plant ed in ridges twenty-eight inches apart. This the farmer knows, means nine ty ridges to the acre. Then he care fully measures off a yard from a row where the crop seems about the av erage, pulls up the roots in that yard and weighs them. Supposing they weigh ten pounds, a simple calcula tion proves that the crop averages a little over twenty-eight tons to the acre. Eleven pounds Is equivalent to nearly thirty-one tons, and so on. Af ter he has found out the weight of one acre, it is quite an easy matter to estimate the weight of the whole field. When a man of the soil sets about planting an orchard, he does not or der so many hundred of trees until he has carefully calculated how many trees will be actually required. This number will, of course, depend on the distance apart at which the trees are planted. If they are set at even dis tances of twenty-five feet an acre will hold exactly seventy trees; if only twenty feet, 109 trees will be re quired. In thi3 wayall waste is pre vented. In regard to planting cabbages, strawberries, or any other small fruit the distances apart are, of course, much smaller. It might be interest ing to note that if they were planted a foot from each other an acre of land could accommodate no fewer than 43,560 plants. It Is equally essential for a farmer to be able to tell the weight of cattle without troubling to put them on the scales. The way in which he does this is to measure the girth of the animal just behind the shoulders and square the product. Multiply the re sult by the leigth, in feet from shoul der to juncture of tail. This i3 then multiplied by .23, .24, .20, .28, or .30, according to the animal's fatness. The result will give the carcass weight in stones. Carcass weight, by the way, much less than live weight. Now, the novice in attempting to buy a Ftack of hay would run a great of beirec swindled m regard t.c it?, weight, vl-.o knows calmly tai-'e Not vq with the larmer his business.

EVEN AN EXPERT ' DROP ONCE LATE EVENTS MEAN A MODERN CHINA Prof, Hirth Calls Chinese Born Parliament . tarians Predicts Progress. New York City. Friedrlch Hirth, Professor of Chinese in Columbia University, who as a lifelong student of the Chinese people, their language and literature, is considered one of the best authorities living on Chinese topics, gave it as his opinion that the death of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor meant the opening of an entirely new and better era which would benefit not only China but the other nations of the world.. He thought affairs in China would from now on advance rapidly toward Euro pean ideals, and though progress will be less rapid than in Japan, China would in thirty or even twenty years be transformed into a nation on an equal footing "with the other great nations of the world. Professor Hirth had no belief in the report that foul play had entered into the death of the Dowager or the Emperor. In regard to the general attitude of the influential parties and individuals toward the new rule, he said: "I think the events of the next few weeks or days will determine the question of bloodshed or peace. I think that both Liberals and Conser vatives are ready to wait quietly in order to see what course the Govern ment will take. Prince Chun is a Liberal, and he has enough followers, I think, among the really dangerous party, the overardent Liberals, who might be called the Anarchistic party, to avert any trouble from them. "Prince Chun, I believe, is an able man. He has visited Germany on a diplomatic mission. He alone of those who have come into great power in China has seen Europe; that single fact should be enough to show in what direction hi3 rule will tend." Speaking in a general way of the death of Emperor and Dowager he said: "It appears to me a very beneficial thing for China. The antagonistic relations between the two and the control by the Dowager of the Em peror roused great dissatisfaction among the Liberals, who had rested their hopes on the Emperor.

LET5 SOMETHING IN A WHILE. Cartoon by Triggs, in the New York Press. "Yet Tsl-An played a valuable part. It almost'seems she saved the nation in 1898, when by & coup d'etat tho young Emperor tried to crowd on China in twenty days changes which the nation would have needed as many years to digest. "Yet, the Emperor being highly appreciated by the party of reform and progress, her seizure of the reins of Government and suppression of new ideas cast a gloom over the spirit of the empire. And little as we know the new characters on the Chinese stage, it is fair to believe that both extremes conservative and progres sive will hold themselves in check, and will wait to see where the Gov ernment is tending. All depends on events; it is impossible to state what will happen; one can only speak of probabilities. "But the tendency, whether calm or violent, will, I feel sure, be toward liberalism. These two deaths have cleared the course for China. There 13 much talk of antagonism toward Manchu rule, yet that antagonism is a thing of recent years; it has been greatly heightened by the relations between the Emperor and his aunt, the Dowager. I believe now that that antagonism will calm down for the time, and will, If the new Govern ment gives satisfaction, die out. "The talk la of a Constitutional Government. I think, and have al ways thought,1 the Chinese'well fitted for it. They have always appeared to me to be born parliamentarians. Cer tainly they are as well fitted for lib eral institutions as any Oriental na tion: better fitted than the Turks or Perstffhs, as well fitted, I think, as the Japanese. But I believe they will model their Government on the Jap anese' Government, and that the stages of their progress generally will be peaceful. "The present Government has a strong liberal party behind it, and the radicals are too much in the minority now to do any harm. So many strong men, both liberal and radical, are with the Government that I do not foresee a serious outbreak." v:a? applied or not. lie told where his sun would be found, and it was brought into court.
