THE SOUTH WIND.
Over the fields, where the dew was wet, »
Over a meadow with daisies set,
Shaking the pearls in the spider's net.
The soft south wind came stealing.
It was full of the scent of the sweet wild rose;
And it lingered along, where the streamlet
flows,
Till it made the forget-me-nots' eves enclose,
And started the blue-bells pealing.
Under the measureless blue of the sky,
Drifting the silvery cloudlets by,
Drinking the dew-brimmed flower-cups dry,
The warm south wind was blowing.
It was sweet with the breath of a thousand
springs;
And it sang to the grasses, as ever it sings.
With a sound like the moving of myriad
wings.
Or the whisper of wild flowers growing.
Over the fields, in the evening glow,
Stirring the trees, as the sun sank low,
Swaying the meadow-grass to and fro,
A breeze from the south came creeping.
It rocked the birds in their drowsy nest;
It cradled the blue-eyed grass to rest;
And its good-night kisses were softly pressed
On pale wild roses sleeping.
And only the stars and the fireflies knew
How the south wind murmured the whole
night through,
In scented fields where the clover grew
And soft white mists were breathing.
For it stole away, when the night was spent,
And none could follow the way it went;
But the wild flowers knew what the wind's
sang meant,
As they waked to its last low breathing.
—Charles B. Going , in St. Nicholas.
HER LAST CARPET.
The clothes-line, stretched from the
June apple-tree to the mulberry-tree, and
on to the great ox-heart cherry-tree in
Mrs. Gideon Huff’s br.ck-yard, had for
several days flaunted strips of bright
green, orange yellow and dark crimson
cotton, newly dyed.
On Monday there appeared several
yards of pale blue, and on Tuesday a
strip of bright red. When Mrs. Huff
hung the last sirip on the line, she
stepped back with her bare, round, red
arms akimbo, nodded her pink sunbon-
neted head to and fro in an approving
manner, and said:
“Well, I’ve had good luck with ev'ry
single piece. If I’d made the aniline dye
a leetle mite darker, it’d mebbe looked
better along w ith the green an’ yeller in
the twisted stripe I callate on having, but
it’ll look mighty purty as ’tis. I must
git my logwood an’ copperas ready for
the rest of my rags, an’ git ’em all ready
for the rag-sewin’ Friday, for they’ve got
to go to the -weaver a-Sattaday.”
Mrs. Huff’s rag carpets had taken the
first premium at the county fair every
autumn for three years, and she was lay¬
ing her plans again this year to capture
the blue ribbon and the five-dollar prize.
She had a way of getting up ‘ ‘twisted
stripes,” and coloring and w y arping the
chain, that no one could imitate. Her
neighbors often said that they would
rather have one of Harriet Huff’s striped
rag carpets than a two-ply ingrain. She
made a great point of having her rags
cut very line, and sometimes lay awake at
night planning something new in the
way of “hit-an’-miss fillin’.”
“She cuts up our duds fer carpet rags
’fore we’ve half worn ’em out,” said Mr.
Gideon Huff, a little irritably. “When
a woman gits to rankin’ rag carpets, a
man’s red flannins ain’t safe a minute,
unless he puts ’em in the bank in his
own name, an’ my blue overalls gin’rally
go into a ball of carpet rags ’fore I’ve
wore ’em a dozen times.”
Tli^carpet Mrs. Huff was now making
was to eclipse all of her former efforts.
She had actually dreamed of something
new iu twisted stripes, and had risen in
the middle of the night to make fast and
safe the dream-sent idea by wunding the
colors in the right order around a strip
of pasteboard. Then she went back to
bed. saying to herself:
“Now if I could only dream of some-
thing new in fillin’!”
But such a dream did not come, al-
though she was a great dreamer, aud
stoutly maintained that she often
“dreamed out things,” and that her
dreams came true. Being thus a firm be-
liever in dreams, she occasionally even
invited dreams by overloading her stom-
ach at night.
“If I eat an ordinary light supper,”
she said, “I don’t dream much; but if I
eat pickles and cheese and cake,and a lot
of stuff of that kind, I dream a sight,”
which was no doubt true.
She “made a rag-sewin’” that week
to finish up her hit-and-miss rags, but
the rags for that wonderful stripe were
all to be sewed with her own hands.
Eight or ten of her neighbors came to
the “rag-sewin’.” Each of them brought
her needle aud thimble, and sewed car-
pet rags and laughed and gossiped in the
most agreeable way all the afternoon, and
in the evening their husbands came to
supper.
Not even to these ladies did Mrs. Huff
disclose the pattern of her “dreamed-
out” stripe, although she informed them
that they could confidently expect to see
such a rag carpet as they'd never before
seen, when the fair opened two weeks
later.
Her household duties occupied her time
more than usual at that season of the
year, so that she could sew only at night,
and each night she sat up until verv late
sewing on the green ar.d crimson and
yellow and blue and black and white rags
for the stripe in her carpet.
It was after midnight on Friday when
the last ball was sewed and wound and
weighed, and ready to go to the weaver's
on the morrow.
“The stripe can’t be improved on I jest
know,” said Mrs. Huff,as she put the rags
away in stout grain bags, and tied them
up. “But I can't decide just how to
have the colors in the chain warped, or
whether to have the light and dark rag,
all mixed up, or sep rate iu the hit-an -
miss. I do wonder if I can't dream it out
to-night? I’m all tired out, and I dream
best when I'm that way. Mebbe if I eat
a big piece of goosebeiTv pie and a piece
of cheese ’fore I go to bed. I'll dream
something uncommon. I read the other
day of a great poet who wrote half a
poem, and couldn't finish it to suit him,
and he went to bed and dreamed the other
half all out plain as dav, and got up in
I'd ought to be able to dream out a com-
mon rag carpet pattern.”
Thus reasoning to herself, Mrs. Huff
ate her pie and cheese and went to bed.
and. being very tired, soon dropped
asleep.
She was sleeping heavily when her bus-
band called her in the morning. Her
first words when she arose were:
“Well, it didn't do am good. J
didn’t dream anything about that carpet,
although I did dream of forty other
things. I must hurry up my work, and
have Gideon take me and the rags over
to the Widow Watt’s, and see myself
that she understands just how that car¬
pet's got to be wove.”
But when, two hours later, she went
into her little sewing room to get her
rags and chain, they were not to be
found.
“Gideon,” she called to her husband,
who was putting the horses to the light
wagon in the barn-yard, “have you car¬
ried them rags out to the wagon?”
“No,” called back Mr. Huff: “I aint
seen your old rags. I'll be glad when I
have seen the last of ’em, and you’ve
done a-settin’ up o’ nights a-puddlin’
over ’em, and undermindin’ your consti¬
tution and your health.”
“Well, they aint here,’’ said Mrs.
Huff, “and I left them here last night,
all ready to be carried out. Hanner, ‘ev
you seen them rags?”
“No,” replied Hannah, the hired girl,
“I aint seen a solitary thing of ’em.”
“That's queer,” said Mrs. Huff, irrita¬
bly. “They never tuk legs and walked
off of their own accord. Sam, I don't
s’pose you’ve seen anything of my rags?”
! iSam, the farm hand, happened to pass
the open window at that moment.
“Your rags, Mis’ Huff? What rags?”
“Why, my carpet rags.”
“Didn't know you had any,” replied
Sam, briefly, as he went unconcernedly
on his way.
Then began an active search for the
rags. Mr. Huff was called in, and so
singular was the disappearance of such
bulky articles, that he joined in the search
with considerable interest.
“It's the queerest thing!” said Mrs.
Huff, for the fifteenth time, as she looked
into places in which the bags of rags
could not possibly be. ‘ ‘It’s my
opinion,” she said at last, “that some¬
body lias stolen those lags. They must
have done it! They never got away
alone; any one with common-sense knows
that.”
No trace of a thief could be found, hut
one could easily have come and gone
without the family knoyving it, as the
doors aud windows were seldom fastened.
In fact, some of them had been left wide
open the night before to admit the cool
air at the close of a hot day.
After an hour of unavailing search
Mrs. Huff dropped wearily into a chair,
and said, in a choking voice, “Well,
they’re gone, and gone for good, and
so’s my chance of getting the prize at
the fair next week. Somebody must have
stole ’em. I reckon now that Calisty
Horn will get the premium with her car¬
pet.”
“Well, well, what if she doe3?” said
Mr. Huff, consolingly. “You’ve had it
three years hand runuin’, and you’d
ought to give somebody else a chance,
anyhow.”
“They all have just as good
a chance aq I’ve had,” replied
Mrs. Huff. “And the premium aint
nothing at all compared to the loss
of that carpet that I had callated sure on
putting down in the settin’-room this
"
fall.”
The rags were not found iu the days
that intervened before the fair, and Mrs.
Calisty Horn’s carpet did get the first
premium.
“And such a looking carpet as it was,”
said Mrs. Huff, somewhat spitefully.
“The rags was half an inch wide, and
she’d got too much copperas in her color¬
ing, and the stripe was nothing to com¬
pare to what mine would have been.”
Her loss and defeat weighed heavily on
Mrs. Huff, and she lay awake a long
time thinking the whole matter over
after she had gone to bed, when she
came home from the fair.
Sometime after midnight Mr. Huff
awoke to find himself alone in bed, and
as he opened his eyes he fancied he saw
some one pass the door leading into the
hall,
“Harriet,” he called, “is that you?”
There was no reply.
“I wonder,” he said, “if that woman
has got. up iu the dead of night to begin
on another carpet, She shan’t do it!
Harriet, what are you doing? You
sick?”
Still Harriet did not answer. Mr.
Huff arose, wrapped a quilt around him,
lighted a candle and started out to in-
vestigate. As he stepped into the hall
he heard a noise as of some one moving
around in an unused attic room above
him, a room had not been entered for
weeks, which was now filled with all the
odds and ends of things that will collect in
a house as the years go on, and which a
great many people save, under the im-
pression, usually a delusion, that they
will sometime “come handy.”
Among the useless rubbish stowed
away in Farmer Huff's attic was the
frame of an old carpet loom on which
Mrs. Huff had woven many a cai-pet in her
younger days; but years had -passed since
the loom had been in use. The moon-
light streaming in through a window
showed Mr. Huff that the attic door was
opened, but there was no other light in
the room.
“Harriet Huff!” he cried, “what in
creation air you doing up there at this
time o' night? Hunting some more tor-
mented old rags? Come right back to
bed! You'll get your death o’ cold
roamin’ round at night!”
She took no notice of his querulous re-
marks, but he heard no more sounds in
theatric. But he was too much troubled
to let the matter rest as it was, and
accordingly mounted the stairs and
entered the attic room. There he saw
something that caused him to open both
eyes and mouth with amazement.
At the old loom sat Mrs. Huff in her
night clothes . In one hand she held an
old wooden shuttle, while with the other
she fumbled around in a grain bag
of carpet rag bails leaning against a post
of the loom. Drawing forth a ball of 1:he
“hit-an’-miss rags she slowly began wind-
ing it on the shuttle, which she then
passed to and fro through an imaginary
warp. The reed and batten bars were
gone, but Mis. Huff went slowly
through the motions of using them.
The amazed Mr. Huff at once noticed
that her eyes were closed, and his belief
that she had become a “stark, staring,
loonytic, changed into the more agreea-
ble ‘thought that she was simply sound
asleep. His eyes rested on the missing
carpet rags, and he mentally ejaculated:
goin'to become of her if she goes to
lnakin’carpets both when she’s asleep
and awake? Her intelleekshel reason
! give way. That's what.'ij happen to her!
No born woman could stand it. and it'll
j be raighty hard on all of us. She shan’t
make nary nother carpet! Ill buy body
bristles for every room in the house, first!
Harriet Diany Huff, wake u« a"d ‘q
, bed where you h'long 1
Mrs. Huff did not waken, and Mr.
Huff hesitated before speaking again:
“They say,” he sain to himself, “that
it ain’t safe to wake up sleep-walkers or
somnambulances suddenly. Mebbe she’d
have a fit if I woke her, though she don’t
come of a fitty family. I’ll just see
what she does.”
A moment later Mrs. Huff slowly left
the loom, and, with eyes still closed, shut
the attic door behind her, walked down
stairs, and returned quietly to her bed.
“It beats all,” said Mr. Huff, as he
quietly lay down beside her, “but she
shan't meddle with carpet rags no more,
she shan’t !”
In the morning she said while dress¬
ing: “I dreamed ’bout weaving me a
carpet at my old loom last night. I’ve
had sev’ral such dreams lately.”
“Hev?” queried Mr. Huff, dryly.
“That reminds me that I want to show
you something in the old loom room.
Come right up!”
“Wait till after breakfast.”
“No, I’ve got more time now.”
“There you air, Harriet Huff,” said
Mr. Huff, dramatically, as he threw open
the attic door, and waved his hands
toward the bag of rags. «
“Gideon Huff!” she said, as she sank
down on an old hair-covered trunk, with
her hands upraised.
“I’d say ‘Gideon Huff’ if I was you,’
he replied; then he went on solemnly,
occasionally shaking his finger toward
her. “Harriet Diany Huff, I ain’t got
much to say to you, but what I do say is
solemn and pertiekler, and I mean it.
You’ve, made your last rag carpet! Your
intelleekshel reason is givin’ ’way under
the strain of it, to say nothin’ of our
duds bein’ cut up ’fore they’re half wore
out, and you in a stiddy pickle and stew
over your colorin’ and twisted stripes.
You drug them rags up here in your
sleep, and las’ night I ketched you up
here goin’ through weavin’ motions in
your sleep. Your mental brain powers
is becoming exhausted over carpet rags,
and you’ve got to give ’em up for good
and all, premiums or no premiums.”
So Mrs. Huff, greatly shocked when
told of her performances, did give up all
rag carpet making, although the beauti¬
ful twisted stripe of her visions aud
dreams became a reality as soon as the
rags could be carried to the Widow
Watts.
Dream-provoking food at midnight
was also wisely given up in obedience to
Mr. Huff's demand that his wife should
do nothing to impair her “intelleekshel
reason.”
This is a true story, and the reader can
draw the moral from it.— Youth's Com¬
panion.
The Heat in Asia.
It is stated in the official report that
702 persons died during a period a foui
days recently, at Bokhara, Central Asia,
of heat; and the figures, it is expressly
added, do not include children. If this
amazing calamity be not due to any at¬
mospheric violence, as a Bad-i-Simoon,
for example, it is probably unequalled iu
authentic records. But when we think
of the agony, the horrible wretchedness
in which the whole population must have
been living, it may well seem that those
who found escape in death are not to be
pitied. The horror of heat is unknown
to us, or indeed to any part of Europe,
though Naples aud Athens are desperate¬
ly trying sometimes. But to the native
of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores of the
Persian Gulf, the sun of Greece, is but a
trifle. The utter helplessness of man
under such infliction, adds horror to his
sufferings. There is no hope and no re¬
source when the red hot air penetrates
to those underground chambers in which
the summer is passed in Central Asia.
‘ ‘The inhabitants” we learn, ‘ ‘are shutting
themselves up to escape”—probably clos¬
ing all the apertures of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below
under such circumstances, cannot be ima¬
gined by one who has not a touch of ex¬
perience. Houses of good class are solid¬
ly constructed underground, with cham¬
bers and doors and corridors; but the
mass of the people inhabit big holes,
roofed over, with no kind of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost and
and snow and rain play mischief with
these rough pits, and the damage is not
always, nor often, repaired by the follow¬
ing summer. Fancy thousands of Mon¬
gols in these dens, pursuing their filthy
habits, in semi-darkness, suffering the
awful torment of heat, children wailing,
adults raving, always in want of water
and generally of food, in an atmosphere
beyond conceiving. That is the picture
which those few lines of telegram suggest
to readers who know .—London Stan-
dard.
Making Neckties for Men.
‘‘Neckties are made out of grades and
designs of silks and satins made specially

a reporter for the New \ ork Mail and
Express recently. “These materials are
made fr om patterns designed by men who
do nothing . but study up new things in
neckties. There are in this country ^iom
fifty to seventy-five factories and ten or
twelve first-class makers, The latter
usually secure exclusive rights to certain
styles of goods from the makers by buy-
ing either the entire stock offered to tne
American market or a large portion o it.
The success of making up these goods,
though, is just like a chance in a ot-
tery.

be kept in good condition, and yst they are over-
worked and abused by nearly everybody, until they
become worn out, clogged up or diseased. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla cures all difficulties with these organs,
rouses them to healthy action, and tones the whole
digestive organism.
"I have been using Hood’s Sarsaparilla for Indi¬
gestion and liver trouble. It has greatly beueflted
me, and I think It Is fully as good a medicine as
claimed.’’—E. 8. Cheskbbo, chief engineer Are dept.,
Stonlngton, Ct.
N. B.—If you decide to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla
do not be induced to take any other.
