LovE,s MOODS AND rEysEs.

Sally salter, she wasa young teacher whc

Though his enemies called him scrcecher who

His heart when he saw her kept sinking and
sunk,
And his eye, meeting hers, began winkins and
wunk
While she In her turn fell to thinking. and
thunk.
He hastcned to WOO her, and sweetly he wooed,
For his love grew until to mountain u grewed.
And what he was longing to do then he docd.
In secret he wanted to speak, and he spoke,
To seek with his lips what his heart long had
soke;
80 he managed to let the truth leak. and II loks
lie asked her to ride to the church, and they
rode,
They so swcstly did glide. that they both thought
they glole,
And they came to the place to be tied. and were
todc.
Then homeward he said let US drive, and they
drove,
And soon rs they wished to arrive, they srrove;
For whatever he couldn't oontrive, he controve.
The kiss he was dying TO steal, then be stole
At the feet where he wanted to kncel. then he
knole.
And he said, 'I feel better than ever fole."s
10 they TO each other kept clinging, and clung,
While time his swim circnit was winging and

And this was the thing he Was bringing and
brung:
The man Sally wanted to catch, and had
caught
That she wanted from others to snatch, and had
snaught--
Was the one that she now liked to scratch, and
she scraught.
And Chsrley's warm love began freesing. and

While he took 70 teasing. and crully tose
The girl he had wished TO be squeezing and

How Matches are Made.

Ablock of wood two fect long. and OF q
thickness sufficient for the length OF q
match. Is placed upon little iron shelf In
one Of these machines. not . great deal
moro ponderous than sewing machine.
The shelf moves forward by little Jumps,
bringing the end Of the block just above a
cutter composed Of tiny circles Of steel.
which takes of twelve splints at each as
ccnding stroke. These splints then pass
betweon the links Of q chain, rs It Is
called, composed Of two pieces Of wood
(esch the length of common clothes
pin, and OF the same shape were It open
at both cnds) rlaced together. their con.
vox sides towards each other. Those
pieces are linked at either end In twos,
the pairs about an inch apart. forming a
CONTINUOUS chain two hundred feet In
length. This chain passes through the
machine directly over tho cutter, the
splints rs they are separated from the
block being received between the two sides
of the clothes-pi links, which are grooyed
to suit thom. The chain moves Just rap
idly enough to take up the results Of each
cutting as the knife performs It's work.
Passing along q few feet little hammer
jumps up from the flocr and strikes each
link with force enough to dislodge the i'm.
perfect splints, which nre but slightly held.
and they drop upon the floor. A few feet
farther on tho chain passes over wheel,
which revolves slowly In tiny reservoir
OF melted birthstone, the ends OF the in
cipicnt matches getting a bath rs they
pass. Alter this they move forty or fifty
feet farther. until quite dry, when on their
return course, they are held down by .
steel finger. and made to Just taste the
liquid phosphorus, which Is taken up by q
second wheel from reservoir similar to
that which holds the birthstone. They
then finish their journey Of forty or fifty
feet, by which time they are quite dry.
At the end of the course the chain passes
over wheel elevated above the cutting
machine, from which 1t falls pcrpendicu-
larly. As each link reaches q tray made
to receive them, the matches, smoking
and threatening to ignite, arc gently push
cd from 1t by sliding piecc Of steel.
which Is thrust out just often enough to
dslodge each row rs 1t Is brought along
by the endless chain. This, emptied Of It's
contents, soon passes again through the
machine, over tho block. to receive anoLh-
er package Of its tiny freight within each
Of It's innumerable links. .1t
Eight of these machines [the writer has
reference TO particular manufactory]sr are
running constantly, making eight hum
dred gross of matche, per day, gross
numbering fourteen thousand, and chip
ping away in the course of tho year six
hundred thousand feet Of pine lumber.
This lumber Is thoroughly dried In kiln
before being prepared for tho machines.
Two hundred and fifty thousand feet of
bass-wood are annually made into ship.
ping cases. Three hundred barrels of
birthstone and ninety thousand pounds Of
phosphorus are taken up yearly by these
endless chains from the little reservoirs.

What Mary Gave.

When tho contribution-box comes
round In church, boys and girls throw IN
money which their parents have given
them for that purpose. The money Is not

mother. They have just rs much To spend
for their pleasure as they had before.

She gave an hour OF patient care 70 her
little baby sister. who WAS cutting teeth.
She gave string and crooked pin and

year old brother who wanted 10 play at
fishing. She gave Ellen tho maid. q
precious hour to 60 and visit her sick baby
At homo. for Ellen was widow. and lcft

How a Boy wakes Up.

There he lies in his crib, nut-brown
stub of four years. He sleeps the sleep
of healthy childhood. in the same position
he lay when he dropped of into uncon-
sciousness. one arm under his head, ono
leg kicked out from under the coverlet.
lie Is perfectly motionless. His round
cheek pillows itself on the extend-
ed arm, and his leg seems 20 have been
arrested in the middle of the last restless
kick, rs the curtain fell over his eyes, and
he WAS asleep.
He Is in deep sleep. You can scarce
ly perceive the regular respiration. A
train of cars thunders by without notice
he might be carried across the street
without awakening.
A healthy boy. sound asleep. Is an in
tercsting object, particularly II he is your
boy. For time his tremendous energies
are Mt rest. His noisy clatter. his cease
less motion. his endless questions, his
boi.teruus play. his boundless wants, his
fountains Of laughter and tears, all are
quiet now. One can take u good look at
him.
1t Is morning. Daylight streams into
the window, the sun shines on the hill
tops. The sounds Of stirring life are be-
ginning to be heard about the house.
Watch the boy. Still rs motionless rs u
figure of marble. As you look, the gates
OF sleep aro suddenly unlocked. He WAS
awake In q twinkling-awake all over.
His blue eyes are wide open and bright
his lips apart with shout-his legs fly
out in different dircctions-his arms are
in rapid motion-he hops over with n
spring. In ten seconds he presents before
you living illustration Of perpetual mo-
ton. There Is no deliberate yawning. no
slow stretching of'indolent limbs, no lazy
rubbing of sleepy eyes, no turning over
for Just another snooze. no gradually be-
coming awake about it. With asnap like
q pistol shot. he Is thoroughly alive and
kicking-wide awake to the tip end Of
each particular hair. The wonderful
thing about IL Is Its suddenness and COM
pleteness.

Frederick seized all the avenues, that no

that starvation, combined with n vigorous

To surrender themselves, the city, and ell

their blazing dwellings; some werc torn

The President on the Political Bit
uation.

Senator Wilson had long interview
with the Presidents Wednesday, on the
general condition Of political Affairs and
the future Of the Republican party. In
the course Of the conversation the subject
of the ''new party" movement OF the Chi.
csgo Tribune came up. The President, It
Is Said, did not seem to attach much I'm.
portance to the course of tho Tribune.
For years past, he said. that paper had
been, To all intents and purposes, with the
opposition. Its coming out formally
against the Republican party. and In In
yor OF new organization. did not sur.
prise him. He had been looking for That
Tor some time past and no was glad 1t
had concluded TO sail under is true colors.
Since tho paper came under Its present
management, Il had sought by every
means to demoralizs tho Republican par
ty of the Northwest. He did not bolieve
It had much influence In Republican cir
cles, and one Of the strongest evidences
of this was the defeat Of Hon. John
Wentworth FOR Congress At the recent
election. Wentworth was the bolting
Republican candidate, and was supported
by the Tribune against Farwell, the regu-
lar nominee, who was elected. The
President informed Senator Wilson that
although he hal had been disappointed In
some states, he considered that on the
whole the recent elections had resulted
satisfactorily to the Republicans. He did
not think there was anything to cause
alarm for the future. The people could
not bo successfully drawn aside from tho
maintenance of the great principles Of
the Republican party. What they want,
In his opinion. Is the payment Of the pub
lie debt, tho reduction Of taxcs. and an
economical administration Of the govern
ment. The party that refuses tn DO drawn
away by side issues, and that pursucs the
policy here indicated, will. In tho opinion
OF tho President elect Its candidate In
