An Old Man.

=
The hour far spent, the harvest In,
He goes serene along his ways,
Blessed with the sunshine that befslls
The Indian summer of his days.
A dear old man whom all men love,
Who loves all men, and round whose hea6
As round the brows of ancient saints,
The silver locks nimbus shed. e..
Just as the sun comes sitting through
The violet Iapors on the hills,
Building q land Of promise where
The vista with new glory thrills,
? So shines his smile on al he meets,
A tender after-glow and mild;
He sees the other side Of life,
And takes it sweetly Is child.
For genial as tho autumn day.
That spells Us with its soft surprise,
Life seems to wait, as waits the year,
Obeying his benignant eyes.
He dreams not Of dark unknown
So close at hand, 30 chill, SO dresr,
The ice-oold and snow-covcred grave:
He only sees the sunshine here.
He lifts his eyes up to the hills
Whence cometh all his help, and stays
To bless us with the light that fills
The Indian summer of his days.

Utilization Of Refuse.

Jackson 8. Schultz, of New York,
made a statement before the United
States Public Health Association on
"the utilization of animal AMI vegetable
refuse substances in large cities" giving
the results of his two years observations
on the New York board of health. The
advances of European cities in this direc-
ton were mentioned and Gulogized.
New York as lately as 1927 depended on
the swine to do its scavenger work. In
1880 the ordinances discountenanced the
presence of swine in the street, and now
the hundreds of tons of valuable feed are
weekly collected, towed out to sea and
cast overheard. This may answer q
sanitary purpose, but it is not economi-
cal. It should be made source Of in
come. The present board of health is
embarrassed by the fact that it must pay
twenty cents per hour for poor service /;
while another public department has in
its care hundreds of paupers and thou
sands of able-bodied prisoners, whose
labor is turned TO no good account.
But how to make profitable use of this
waste, with one hand tied and the other
paralyzed by the political lazzaroni,
with which they are compelled to work,
presents a problem which no man can
solve. A family of five persons pro-
duces enough of vegetable and animal
refuse from the kitchen to support one
pig. I propose to keep a city swill-
barrel and feed one hog for every family
contributing. There are in New York
certainly 60, 900 families. If we supple
ment hotel kitchen and market refuse
with the nutriment to be derived from
those animals, now 80 imperfectly and
dangerously utilized, fully $4,000 swine
could be supported. Mr.. Schultz pro-
tested against contracting for sanitary
work, as no adequate specifications can
be drawn by board of health. Hotels
in New York sell their garbage for from
$500 to 81, 1000 per year to men who feed
swine in the suburbs. The garbage from
kitchens is collected by private persons,
and more than pays the cost entailed, to
utilize in various ways. A wholesale col
lection was urged by the city. It was
proposed that New York buy, or lease,
one Of the numerous islands in Long
Island sound, erect adequate shelter for
swine and feed them from the city offal.
The labor of paupers, who now eat the
bread Of idleness, should be employed
on this island. It is also proposed to
convert all the dead animals into nutri-
tious food for hogs. In New York one
hundred horses die each week. The hide
is worth 81. Fat ones dying by accident
should be used for swine's food and
others for fertilizers. The work, except
that of collecting, can be done by pau
pers. It is calculated that the remunera-
tion to New York would be not less than
$4,000, which would compensate
doubly for collection and utilization. In
closing his paper Mr.. Schultz said the
plan he suggested would absolutely con-
troll at one place all the offal and refuse
of city, by methods at present under
stood and by labor which at present is
unprodactive and worse than wasted.

A Christmas Legend.

IL was CnrlStmaS eve. Ine uSu
was very dark and the snow falling fast,
as Hermann, the charcoal burner
drew his cloak tighter around him, and
the wind whistled fercely through the
trees of the black forest. He had beer
to carry load to castle near, and was
now fastening home, to his little hut
Although he worked very hard, he was
poor, gaining barely enough for the
wants of his wife and four little children
He was thinking of them, when he hear6
a faint wailing. Guided by the sound
he CROPPED about and found little child,
scantily clothed, shivering and sobbine
by itself in thesnow.
"Why, little one, have they left yor
here all alone to face the cruel blast9"
The child answered nothing, but
looked piteously up in the charcoa
burners face.
"Well, I cannot leave thee here
Thou would'st be dead before the morn
ing"
So saying, Hermann raised it in hi
arms, wrapping it in his cloak and
warming it's little cold hands in hi
bosom. When he arrived at his hut, he
put down the child and tapped at the
door, which was Immediately thrown
open, and the children rushed to meet
him.
"Here, wife, is guest to our Christ
mas eve supper" said he leading in the
little one, who held timidly to his fnge,
with its tiny hand.
"And welcome he is" said the wife.
CHOW let him come and warm himself
by the fire."
The children all pressed round to wei
come and gaze at the little newcomer
They showed him their pretty fir tree,
decorated with bright, colored lamps in
honor of Christmas eve, which the good
mother had endeavored to make fete
for the children.
Then they sat down to supper, each
child contributing its portion for the
guest, looking with admiration at its
clear, blue eyes and golden hair, which
shone so as to shed brighter light il
the little room and as they gazed il
grew into sort of halo round his head,
and his eyes beamed with heavy luster
Soon two white wings appeared at his
shoulders, andhe seemed to grow larger
and larger, and then the beautiful vision
vanished, spreading out his hands as In
benediction over them.
Hermann and his wife fell on their
knees, e1claiming in woe struck voices
"the holy Christ-child!" and then en-
braced their wonderful children to JOY
and thankfulness that they had enter
tanned the Heavenly Guest.
The next morning, as Hermann passed
by the place where he had found the
fair child, he saw a cluster of white
flowers, with dark green leaves, looking
as though the snow itself had blossomed
Hermann plucked some and carried then
reverently home to his wife and children
who treasured the fair blossoms and
tended them carefully in remembrance
of that wonderful Christmas eve, calling
them Chrysanthemums and every year
as the the time came round, they pu
aside portion of their feast and gave
it to some poor little child according te
the words of the Christ: L" Inasmucl
as We have done it unto one OF the leas
of these, my brethren, ye have done il
unto me-"

FALL OF A RoCK.-Between four and
five o'clock yesterday afternoon, ire
mendous sized rock, estimated to weigh
from ten to twenty tons, fell from the
hill, just east of the tunnel, on the Hemp
field railroad. The train due here
last evening at five o'clock. had
to stop east of the tunnel, and
the passengers walked to the city, rather
than wait for conveyance. A great many
persons pass to and from the city through
the tunnel, and that no one was passing
at the time the rock fell was fortunate,
indeed. We heard that Mr.. e. W. Storm,
the well known artist, had just passed
the place few minutes before the ac-
cident.
