A FRUITFUL source of cur besetting
evils is the recollection. still too fresh
among US, of the rapidity with which
great fortunes were acquired during
the war. How little reality there was
in many of the fortunes so hastily ac-
quired is not considered. a false STAN
dard having been set of acquisition and
expenditure, hundreds of men keep
straining after that standard, and, fail
ing to reach up to it by fair means, they
resort to foul. Very slowly and reluc-
tantly such men are coming to see that
they did not do their whole duty to
their country, or pay their part of the
full price of Northern infidelity and
complacency, by sending all their near
est blood-relations to the war; that tC
this day something of self-sacrifice and
frugality and simplicity i, demanded
as the price of that enfranchisemenl
Only, the first payments of which were
made in blood upon the field of battle

Cling and intermingling of so much |
water causes a delightful coolIess to
pervade the entire department.
Among the first objects to attract the
attention in the hydraulic annex are a
number of handsomely-polished and
ornamented rotary steam fire engines.
They look almost too costly for use,
aud at the same time show beautiful
and skilful workmanship.
Then come several blowers used
for ventilating buildings and for dry
ing grain, lumber, etc. These blow
ers afford considerable amusement.
People gather about them and allow
barrel of air 10 rush up the sleeve, ere
ating a very pleasant and cooling SEN
sation. The blast from one machine
is so powerful as to keep suspended in
the air above it large rubber ball,
while another holds perpendicularly
an American flag, the effect from dis
tance being quite singular.
In the way of hydraulic rams, gar
den and fire engines, pump chains and
hydrants, there is a never-eIding va
riety. One exhibitor alone displays
over seven hundred different sizes OF
pumps, ETC., while another has large
and well-constructed mining pump.
Among other interesting machines
is centrifugal water extractor for dry
ing wool, yarn, laundry purposes, etc.,
also, a number of pulsometer steam
pumps, in which fluids are moved by
self-acting pulsation, and used IN
mines, manufactures, etc. The pulso-
meter, in form and construction, is
simple as well as unique, and consists
principally of two bottle-shaped cham
bers Joined with tapering necks bent
toward each other, to which is attach
ed, by means of a f1ange joint, con-
tinuous passage from each cylinder. Its
operation is quite interesting, and per-
SONS have every opportunity to make
thorough inspection.
The specimens of turbine wheels are
large and numerous, and samples are
exhibited by number of different
States. To give a description OF all
these interesting exhibits would be
equal almost to writing volume on
hydraulics. Some of the wheels are OF
very peculiar construction, but their
nature and merits, of course, are best
known to those following mechanical
pursuits.
Then there are specimens OF large
vertical and horizontal centrifugal
pumps for emptying dry docks and
Golfer dams, and for use in paper mills
and factories; also pumps for raising
water to any height by compressed air;
also sluthour pumps used for ships
wells, cisterns, etc. In one corner Are
number of glass models of hydraulic
rams, and near by is an improved
double-aetion pump and fire engine
combined, exhibited by an English
firm. There are also exhibits from
various parts of England, Switzerland,
etc., which can be be examined with
pleasure and profit.

He WAS asleek, sly sinner. His face
was shaven clean, his hair combed be-
hind his ears, his cheeks pale, and he
spoke soft and swiftly and seemed to
have been born into this world to pat
ragged children on the head and to say
kind words to old people. But what a
hypocrite was he! He enterered a
saloon on Woodbridge street, said that
he had the plurisy and guessed he
would take drop of whisky. He
coughed and coughed and seemed
ready to weep over the sad fact that
ten drops of liquor in half tumbler of
water was the only remedy for his
complaint.
ITS awful-awful !! he groaned, and
then pOurd out glass of whisky and
added the drops of water.
The barkeeper wondered at his re-
versing the proportions, but he soon
had cause to know the man better.
After swallowing his prescription the
sleek man started for the door, saying
he would call when on his way back.
When taken by the collar and Shaken
he fought. Despite his peaceful, kind
hearted look he thrashed that saloon
man in less than two minutes, and then
went out on the street and kicked the
driver of truck. At the station, he
wanted to borrow hymn-book, and
when Biah wouldn't go out and buy
one he called the good old janitor
thirty-one bad names, and, shaking
the door of his cell with great violence,
called out:
You old bald-headed csssowary,
lemme loose for minute and Tll make
you think you was born for door-step!'
This sly, sleek business is bad busf
ness remarked his Honor, as the testi-
mony closed. Il don't believe you are
a good man.

a hymn" asked the prisoner in voice
as soft as puff ball.

'Ah-ump sighed the sleek man,
rubbing his hands together.
Ten dollars or thirty days, Mr.. Bor-
rowman.'

And I'll double the dose if you
come again.

When we went back to the corridor
the prisoner started to sing 'Old Hun

denly that he stopped short and used
eighteen oaths without any punctu-
alton whatever.-[ Detroit Free Press.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S--In the
Mineral annexes to the Main Building
there is an interesting display (not yet
completely of the economic resources
of the most progressive States, and OF
this a full description will soon be pos
sible. But in the Ohio department
there is now ready for the inspection
of the visitor magnificent collection
of the inn lements of war, of the chase,
and of the domestic life of the mystic
rious Mound-builders. This display is
not favorably situated to attract atten-
ton, but good judges pronounce it, in
point of interest, no mean competitor
of the famous Smithsonian collection.
A large archaeological map, 12x15 feet,
shows the location, etc., of some OF the
earth and stone works found in Ohio.
From their magnitude and number, it
is easily seen that they were erected by
a people with a well organized gov
ernment, and far too numerous to SUBJ
Sist without system of agriculture.
Phe immense systems of Notifications
in the form of circles, squares, Octa-
CONS, mounds, parallel walls, at New
ark would to-day, with the present
tools of steam and machinery, require
the labor of thousands of men for a
long period of time. Yet, as far as can
be learned from the remains left, the
builders had no tools but wooden and
stone ones, with few copper, and no
domestic animals at all, and must
therefore have carSed all this earth in
skins or baskets, and from long dlstan,
ces, as, at least in some instances, there
is ne earth or stone near the works
similar to that used in their construc-
tion. Among the implements exhibit
ed are spades and hoes of flint, grooved
and ungrooved axes of various degrees
of finish, shape, and size, varying from
few ounces in weight 10 over sixteen
pounds, skin dressers for tanning pur-
poses, bark peelers for making canoes,
pestles for crushing grain and other
food, chisels, etc. The materials used
for making these are granite and kin.
dred rocks, hematite, flint other hard
materials. There are also lance, spear
and arrow heads, knives, scrapers,
gouges, avis, drills and smaller tools
Of flint, jasper, chalcedony, etc., cop
per being used occasionally for some oi
these implements and for ornaments
The latter consist of beads, wristlets,
gorgets, etc., of copper, shells, bone and
stone. Pipes are numerous, some ol
them of. elaborate workmanship, carv'
ed in figures, some grOtesque, and 9TH
ers showing wonderful accuracy in the
delineation of the form of birds, frogs
human beings, bears, alligators, ano
other living things, and many not de
signed as images at all. There is pot
terry, always unglaZed, but some of the
pieces closely resembling the present
bottles, bowls and dishes, and some
pieces modelled in ths3orm of wO
man. There are also many othel
things whose use can only be con
jectured; some of them, perhaps, being
used as records, as insignia of civil Of
priestly Office.

A Song of the Green Things
Growing.

Oh, the sun shines bright and bonny
Der the budding fields of Spring
Wcoing, with his glances fervent,
Every tender, springing thing.
Blade of grass and bud of leafiet,
Plumy fern, and shining thorn,
Swell and throb, with life pulsating
Meath the springtime's glowing morn.
And the gladsome earth laughs loud with
mirth
For the joy in her veins that's flowing,
And my heart grows light with strange
delight
At the sight of the green things growing.
Oh, the brooklet ripples gayly
Mid the MOSES on its edgel
Murmuring love-notes softly, sweetly
TO the palpitating sedge.
Sunshine, moisture, dews down-dripping,
Gains of heat and storms of rain,
Loose the dead earth's shrouding cerements,
Call her soul to life again.
And the glad earth high to the sunlit sky
Sends her incense upward flowing;
And my heart grows light with the dear
delight
OF the smell of the green things growing.
oh, the sounds of Spring are bonny!
Trills the robin, pipes the thrush;
And the turtles tender cooing
Far off fills the dreamy hush,
Hum of bee and drone of insect,
Peep of birding, song of bird,
Through the throbbing falls of sunshine
In the spring times morn are heard,
And the blihe birds sing on their glancing
wing,
While the sun in the sky is glowing
For they glad unite in my hearts delight
In the joy of the green things growing.

Grapes, Wine and vinegar.


Weary and wasted, nigh worn out,
You sigh and shake white hairs, and say,
..Ah, you will find the truth one day
OF Life and Nature, do not doubt!'
Age rhymes to sage, and let us give
'fhe hoary head its honor due;
Grant Youth its privileges too,
And notions how to think and live.
Which has more chance to see Alright
The many-color'd shows of time,
Fresh human eyes in healthy prime
Or custom-dull'd and fading sight?
Gone from the primrose and the rose
Their diverseiy delicious breath,
Since no fine waiting visiteth
An old, perhaps snuffy, nosei
Youth hath its truth; I'd rather trust,
OF two extremes, the ardent boy,
Excess of life and hope and joy,
Than this detection and disgust
Vinegar of Experience-"dr :"
Why so, and set our teeth on edge?
Nay, even grant what you allege,
Well not anticipate, | think.
Who missd, or loses, earlier truth,
Though old, we shall not count him sage
Rare-the strong mellow'd Wine of Age
From sunshine-ripen'd Grapes of Youth.

of archaeological interest are made al
most weekly at Rome and in the neigh
borhood. An ancient Christian Oratory
has come to light on the left of the rail
way station, where tine levelinc of the
so-called Mount of Justice is in pro-
gress. 1t is quite cleared out, and in
the apse is large frescu representing
the Savior and the twelve Apostles.
The head of the Savior is youthful and
beardless, surrounded by nimbus; all
the figures are seated. At Palestrina a
tomb has been discovered full of bronZes
and objects in gold and ivory; and the
Metropolis at Corneto (Tarquinia) con-
tinues rich in interesting results"

Machinery Hall.

Concerts are given every day in the
Hydraulic Annew of Machinery Hall.
Not such music as is heard down in
the lovely LansdOwne raYine, but the
whistle and whizz and whirr and bnzz
and hiss OF t. e many curious machines
in operation. To the mechanic they
sound far more musical than do the
ecstatic strains of Gilmore's Band, and
to the people in general they possess an
interest which lasts long after the notes
from the Pavilion have died upon the
air. Without doubt there is more noise
and commOtion in the Annex of Ma
chinery Hall than in any other depart
ment or any other place in the Cen.

Siren from which the Government
now and then blows its fitful blasts like
a giant using his pocket handkerchief
for cold in the head.
The Annex forms a transept at the
centre of the building directly on line
with Corliss's big engine. 1t is about
two hundred feet wide and two hun
dred and sixty-eight feet in depth, and
contains in the centre large tank, six.

AS THE DAYS GO on.
BY MRS. AGNES HASKELL.

What are you sowing, pilgrim,
As the days go on?
Are they seeds of thorns or roses,
That shall spring to crowns or crosses
As the days go on?
What are you reaping. pilgrim,
As the days go on:
Are they precious sheaves you gather,
Or the worthless stubble, rather,
As the days go on?
What is your burden, pilgrim,
As the days go on?
Is it envy's blackened chalice,
Filled with selfshness and malice,
As the days go on?
Leave your path shining, pilgrim,
AS the days go %;
Giving smiles for others gladness,
Giving tears for others sadness,
As the days 60 on.
Is the cross heavy, pilgrim,
As the days go on?
Faith and hope will make it lighter;
Love will make your crown the brighter
When the days are gone!
Lift your eyes, weary pilgrim,
AS the days go on;
Earth is but a little clearing;
And the heaven-land is nearing
Nearing is the dawn!
