THE NOSE.
The Domestic Realm.

Home is the bright realm of which a
wife is the sovereign, and her soyer-
eighty will bring honor and love accord
ing as her rule over the matters commit
ted to her trust is wisely and benefcent-
Iy ordered. The realm, limited as it is,
demands for its government much
greater and more unintermitting effort
of thought than is always given to it;
for when wife, intent upon making the
home of her family all that is possible
to make it, studies daily how best, by
skillful management, she can gratify
preferences, please tastes, anticipate
wishes, keep out of sight little worries,
twine privations with decoration of love,
and lift off for awhile burdens of care,
all of which appeal to her for thoughtful
and graceful Intervention, she seldom
fails of securing the reward which she
most dearly prizes,

Dipping the Hand Into Molten Iron.

Dipping the Han0 lnCO MOltoH HOus
The thing has been done over and
over again, observed DR.. Carpenter In
recent lecture-that a man has gone and
held his naked hand in such stream of
molten iron, and has done it without the
least injury all that is required beng
to have his hand moist, and if his hand
is dry. he has merely to dip it in water,
and he may hold his hand for a certain
time in that stream of molten iron with
out receiving any injury whatever. Th1s
was exhibited publicly at meeting OF
the British Association at Ipswich, many
wears ago. It is one of the miracles of
science, SO to speak they are perfectly
credible to scientific men, because they
know the principle upon which it hap
pens, and that principle is familiar to
you all, that if you throw drop of water
upon hot iron, the water retains its
spherical form, and does not spread upon
it and wet it. Vapor is brought to that
condition by intense heat, that it forms
a sort of film, or atmosphere, between
the hand and the hot iron, and for
time that atmosphere is not too hot to
be perfectly bearable. There are a
number of these miracles of science,
which we believe, however Incredible at
first sight they may appear, because
! they can be brought to the test OF ex-
perience and can be at any time repro
duced under the necessary conditions.
Houdin, the conjurer, in his very inter
esting autobiography little book !
would really recommend to any OF
you who are interested in the study OF
the workings of the mind. Houdin tells
YOU that he himself tried this expert
ment, after good deal of persuasion
and he says that the sensation of i'm.
mersing his hand in this molten metal
was like handling liquid velvet.

Gladstone and Disraeli.

A London correspondent says Mr..
Gladstone and Mr.. Disraei, unlike in so
many things, are particularly unlike in
their manner of entering the House.
MIR. Gladstone usually slips in with a
rapid step from behind the Speakers
chair. Looking suddenly at the front
bench you see him there. Mr.. Disraei
takes the opposite course. He enters at
the door which is farthest from his seat
On field night he ordinarily stays away
until the chamber is full and curious.
Shortly before 5 o'clock he saunters in,
his coat unbuttoned and thrown back,
one hand holding out his hat little way,
his step slow, his features wearing a
stoid or Indifferent expression. Stran-
gerswhisper, ''There's Dizzyp' "Where?''
"Why, just going up the floor to his
seat" "Oh, L see him 4; dear me, SO
it is"

A PATHETIC incident occurred during
the floods at Binghamton, N. Y. Mrs.
Fox, residing near the cemetery gate,
heard, in the morning, a peculiar
moaning in the direction of the GEM
etery. Going there she found a little
child waist-deep in water and weeping
near a head-stone, which marked a lonely
grave. Upon being questioned she said
that she lived long way off. She had
heard that the graves were covered by
water, and she feared that her mothers
would be washed away. So she went to
keep her poor watch and ward beside it.
She was kindly cared for, and returned
to her motherless home.

THE Treasury Department has sent
several clerks to Europe, to return as
steerage passengers on the various lines,
for the purpose of ascertaining every
thing relating to the treatment of emf
grants on the British and German lines;
also chemical experts to analyze the
food, water and air on shipboard. The
subject is expected to be laid before
Congress at it's psst session.

SPEAKING of the cotton crop this sea

SPEAKING of the cotton crop this sea-
son, Southern papers say that the
money paid for it in its raw state will
not fall short of $33O,OOO,OO0. Of this
sum about $35, 900, 600 will have gone to
spectators and first purchasers, leaving
1926, 900, 900 to the producers. A trav-
eler who has been through Georgia says
the people have gone crazy on the sub
iect of cotton. Within rrdius of fifty
miles, in Marion county, he counted only
two corn crops.

THE SPINNING WHEEL.
By WILLARD z. COULTER.

Buzzing and whirling with merry sound
Buzzing loudly as the wheels went round,
The leathern band skipped DER its circular track,
From wheel to wheel with clickety-clackI
All keeping time to the musical clank
OF the up and down stroke of the treadle-crank-
As grandmother moved it with steady beat
Hour by hour with her slippered feet,
And drawing out with her m 4gic hand
The yarn from the spindle, strand by strand.
While soft and beautiful as the snow
Dropped from the clouds to the earth below,
Pure and bright as though spotless of sin,
Was the carded wool she used to spin;
And each moment, as the spindle flew,
The threads were twisted and the white sken
grew,
Smoothly and evenly, spun with care,
Ready for knitting and future wear.
As grandmother turned the wheels, anon,
What were her eyes resting upon
For they gazed only at empty space
But the keen expression on her face
Evinced that her mind occupied
With something more than the wheel beside
Thoughts, perhaps, of her absent dead,
Who encircled her hearth in the years now fed
Children and friends that on earth were fond
One by one had departed beyond
The spirit Of Death one morning came chill,
In the church-yard, meath the the WILLOWS % shade.
His form at rest was mournfqlly laid;
But PATIENTLY waited the opening gate.
The wheel still turned and the spindle whirled,
But grandmother's thoughts were beyond the
And often that voice caught her ear,
None but grandmother herself could hear,
Why, do you not hear those words 2" asked she
/" Grandfather is here singing to me
The very hymns we were wont to sing
In family prayer and worshiping."
sometimes her eyes would kindle with light,
(For grandmother was blest with second SiShD
" He is now standing beside my chair
Look, he is smiling so kindly there ]"
And she would point the place with her trembling
hand,
But were too mortal to understand
Buzz and humi the wheels would run,
Slowly the carded wool was spun.
But the spinning-wheel has seen its days,
Hid in the attic from peoples gaze
Covered with dust, as the years creep by,
It is going to ruin silently;
The spindle turns on its spool no more,
And the straps worn that played of yore,
Treadle and crank alike are dumb,
With the creaking wheel and busy hum.
And 1t il among the things that We're
The feet that once the treadle propelled,
The hands that once the white wool held,
That guided tine swift revolving thread,
And the life that gave the power are dead
But grandmother's spirit is only gone,
And beyond the grave, in joy, lives on
No grief oppresses, anxious care,
Nor burdens of sorrow or pain to bear.
The skein is finished the life is spun,
The wheels are stopped, and her work is done.

The Buffalo Commercial Adpe,1iser
says that the largest shipment OF live
stock ever made in one day or over any
railway in the world, was mado on.
Wednesday, over the New York Central
and Hudson River, being 255 cars. An
idea of the importance of this trade,
which is yearly increasing, may be
geined from the fact that the estimated
value OF this days work is 1922, 500.
AsHASrEE.- English and the
blacks of Ashantee are at war. A Bri-
tish army. commanded by Sir Charles
Mccarthy, was once routed by these
negroes, Sir Charles was Killed, and
the King OF Ashantee drinks fire water
out of his skull, to this day. The royal
standard ie a huge umbrella, showing
that sable majesty knows how to ''look
ont for rainy day"
The Hartford Times thinks it may be
interesting to watch the current OF
events, and see how riicely the back pay
grabbers, the Mobiiier thieves and the
office holding army are sliding along in
thesame groove, with the White House
the ohjentive point, Ulysses the central
figure and "Third Term" their platform.
Buffers back pay letter. says the Bos-
ton Post, is an apology, and weak and
dismal one, and only puts h fresh cork
in the old bottle.
