Thank God. L IN free, and have my sight!
The vines and roses by my door,
SO beautiful to see,
All fresh and sweet with scents OF heaven
Do they not bloom for me-
They MI with fragrance all the air,
And fill my heart with praise and prayer.
No need OF Lutte or dulCimer
To cheer my lonely way;
The robin and the oriOle

And, through the night, the whip. poOr.will,
In plaintiye notes, sings to me still,
The breeze that bears the ship away
To isles beyond the sea,

And wealth OF health to me

LIGHTING THE FIRE IN A STovE.-
Many persons have often noticed the ex
IRENE difficulty encountered in lighting
the fire in stove, especially In a still
damp morning. The stove at first won't
draw; even vigorous blowing" will not
suffice; and then when it does start, il ia
with sort of an explosion or outward
rush of air, which fills the room with
smoke and gas, oftentimes putting the I'M
pleasant fumes into the face of the
operator. The trouble is caused BIZ the
difficulty encountered in overcoming the
inertia of the long column of air in the
pipe or chimney, by the small column of
air that can be forced up through the
interstices of the wood and coal, at the
bottom Of which the fire is kindled. An
this may be remedied by simply putting
a few shavings or bits of dry paper on
the top of the wood or coal, and first
lighting that; IL Immediately bursts into
a blaze, because the air has perfectly free
access to it from all sides, the heated air
forces ito wav into tho cbinpav ar1
establishes there an upward current.
The match can then be applied to the
kindling under the fuel, which will readi-
ly light, and, If dry, burst into brisk
blaze. Am, Rural Home.

conveniently posted in Arnal street, fired upon
the carriage. Its occupants were uniniured.
Ore of the aSsassinS was Immediately killed by

be generally circulated there was much excite

where the attack was made, and by four o'clock
in the morning almost the entire population in
Madrid was fastening through the streets.
Their majesties remained self possessed during
the brief conflict with the assaSsins.
When quiet had been in a measure restored
they proceeded to the palace, where they are
now receiving members of the ministry, civil
and military authorities of the city and deputa-

and thar ii could not be otherwise unless Greeley

sport at Lake QuInsIgamond.

The boat races at the lake yesterday af-
ternOon, while perhaps not possessing the
interest that attaches TO college regattas, were
very attractive, judging by the number of peo-
pie who spent the afternoon on the causeway
and along the banks of this beautiful sheet of
water. Probably over one thousand spectators
were present. and the progress of the contests
was watched and applauded with lively enthusi-
asm. The races were arranged by number of
gentlemen interested in boating matters, who
made up the purses by individual subscriptions.
The first race was for single SOULS, over two
mile course, and the prizes, $50 to first,
and $25 to second. 1t was understood
that there were TO be only four con
testants, but when the race was called, to
the great surprise of nearly all, 0'Leary, the
professional oarsman, made his appearance in
rowing trim. As the race was open to all
Worcester oarsmen, the ambitious young anna
teurs, though disappointed and indignant, had
TO make the best of it and row for the second
money. The contestants, as they appeared in
line in the positions assigned them, were John
Kerber, J. E. Brown, j. J. o'Leary, Jerry Con-
nell and Charles Gates. The men oil took the

even start, though O'Leary and Kerber rapidly
shot to the 'front.' and the latter, though unable
TO keep up with his more practsed rival, made a
very plucky exhibition of his rowing powers,
and was good second. throughout the race.
Connel and Brown also had very pretty little
race all to themselves, passing and repassing
each other frequently. At the stake boat 0'LeaIy

this order they crossed the line, 0'Leary making
the two miles in Is minutes, IS seconds; Kerber
16 minutes, Council 1921 and Brown 1928.
Gates time was not taken.
The second race, also over the two mile course,
was for double scu'l or pair cared working
boats, and was contested between T. Leahy and
j. A. WoOdcock in pair cared boat. and
j. J.o'Leary and A. Coburn, and Jerry Connell
and John Kerber in double sculs. The latter
crew were assigned the inside position, O'Learv
