Portable or Oomposition Roofings.

There is probably no article of manufacture
so universally needed as a reliable low-priced
roofing, which can be readily applied without
the aid of skilled labor, and in no other direc-
ton has so great q want been so inefficiently
supplied. The results of experiments with
felts, cements and other compositions have so
far been anything but satisfactory Numerous
so-called " cheap roofngs" have been produced,
advertised used and found worthless. In view
of these facts we are glad to be able to speak
favoTably of an article which, from our own
knowledge and the testimony of some of the
most extensive and best-known manufacturers
and merchants in this country, has proven a
reliable and economical substitute for the more
expensive kinds of roofing. We refer to HI. w.
Johns Patent Asbestos Roofing, the manu-
facturerS OF which make no extravagant repre-
sensations, but claim it to be the only reliable
portable roofing in use and from careful inquiry
we believe their claims are well founded. This
roofing is prepared ready for use, can be easily
applied by unskllled workmen, is adapted for
steep or fiat roofs in all climates and when
finished with the tuhite tire-proof coating forms
the Gghtest, handsomest and coolest roof in
the world, costing only about half as much as
tin. Samples, illustrated catalogues, price
lists, and any desired information can be OBJ
tanned from the H. W. Johns Manufacturing
Company, patentees and sole manufacturers, 81
Maiden Lane, New York. This company have
IoCeut1y CouploCoO d H0W nlanu1acCGry, the
most extensive works of the kind in the world,
and have reduced their prices to basis which
place their goods within the reach of every
one. They also manufacture liquid paints, all
shades, which are guaranteed equal to any for
general purposes, and the most durable for
outside work of any paints in use. In body
and richness of color the Asbestos Paints
surpass any we have ever SEEN Fire-proof
paint, an economical substitute for white lead.
Crn1f fnpf ho
lection of factories, bridges and other wooden
structures against fire, is also valuable for the
class of outbuildings, fences, ETC., which are
usually allowed to go implanted. Roof paint,
steam-pipe and boiler coverings, steam-pacl1ing,
sheathings, Innings, cements, etc, all of which
can be relied upon as being in every respect as
represented, and we advise our readers, before
purchasing paints or roofing, to send for
samples Of these articles and compare them
with all others

produce permanent effect. This is because
they are merely palliatives and therefore donot

Free Papers,.

There is hardly mail but we receive
application from some library, hospital,
Young Mems Christian Association
reading-room, or sewing society, a re-
quest to send the Stua to their institu-
ton free, to be kept on file for everybody
to read. A few years ago we used to
take such applications as a compliment,
and FASTENED to send our paper free, be-
cause we thought it was mighty mean
man that couldn't give away a paper.
But when our friends got us out of the
poor-house the last time, they made us
promise that we would quit that sort of
business. -LG Crosse Sam.

Curious.

Through the observations of the Chal-
lenger explorations of 1868-70 it was as
certained that the temperature of the sea
at 500 fathoms was 20 degrees instead of
80, as generally believed. It is now
known that in the South Atlantic the
water over the bottom is generally as low
as 80 degrees, while in the North Atlantic
the temperature rarely falls below 35
degrees. This problem of the low de-
gree of water in the tropical area, where
warm water might be expected, and a
higher degree in the polar region, where
one might look for colder temperature,
is certainly curious one.

domestic infelicity," which newspaper re-
porters nowadays credit with playing such an
important part in life's drama, is often the re-
suit of lingering OR chronic disease. What hus-
band or wife CAN be cheerful smiling and pleas

of some dread disease? Perhaps the husbands
liver becomes torpid, and he experiences bitter,
dlsagreeable taste or nausea, has chilly sensa-
tons, alternating with great heat and dryness
of the surface of his body, pain in his sides,
shoulders or back, eyes and skin are tinged with
yellow, feels dull, indisposed and dizzy.
Through his suffering he becomes gloomy, de-
spondent, and exceedingly irritable in temper.

"a fit subject to become embroiled in "domes-

too-laborious duties or family cares, have be-
come subject to such chronic affections as are
peculiarly incident to her sex, and, being re-

backache, nervousness, headache, internal fe-

wisely and employ DR., Pierce's Fayorite Pre-

and transform her from the peevish scolding

WINE.
BY EDGAR FAWCETr.,

am spirit strong and glad,
In gold or purple proudly clad,
With eyes of fire and fragrant breath,
Lovely, but crueler than death
Through days my protean soul has hung
In lucid clusters richly strung,
Through many a spacious, green expanse
Of beauteous and historic Francei
Below blue deeps of laughing skies
My soul has laughed, III soft surprise,
To hear what merry pleasure stirs
The voices of the vintagers!
But though at many a revel fit
The rapid javelins of my wit,
Though JOY obeys me, though regret
May quaf my Lethe and forget
Still do love by stealth to wind
My subtitle spells DER heart and mind,
Till sacred secrets, treasured dear,
Are babbled i'll some greedy earl
And have loved to pluck aside
The mask from malice, envy, pride;
To strip fair flesh from deeds, and show
What bony motives grin below!
For when cheer he kindliest him
Who courts me at his goblets brim.
When I am blandest, warmest, then
Most deadly is my hate Of men!
Nor is to me that moment sweet
When solemn mourners dumbly meet,
And dying lips are lifted up
10 touch my sacramento cup!
But keenlier does the moment please
II my drugged lover wakes and sees.
Like one who vaguely understands,
The red crime crusted on his hands!

s certainly q curious one

WHEN a guest at a hotel sees the por-
ter carrying coil of rope 800 feet long
into his room feeling of tranquil security
comes over him, and he lies down to
sleep without thought of fear. But
when boy sees his father coming up
stairs to his room with only the little
end of a rope, not more than two feet
long, with knot at one end, it kindles
a confagration of wild apprehension and
terror in his soul that all the waters of
the Mississippi valley cannot quench.
Horse thieves out West build hollow
haystacks provided with hidden door
into which the animal is driven.

More precious than all Jewels,
More glorious than gold,
Most wonderful of treasures
That earth can ever hold.
The wisdom of the ages,
The hone of men defled,
The stumbling-block of sages
The triumph of Child.la
No mystery of science,
No wealth of classic lore,
No mine OF hidden knowledge
That men may doubt no more.
A tale Of simple meaning
The woman's hateful deed,
The curse that fell in Eden,
And mans most bitter need.
A strange and wondrous story
The world was very young,
The prophecies were uttered,
The songs of triumph sung
Of Gods sweet compensation,
Of mercys gentle need.
Lo she by serpent tempted
Shall conquer in her seed.
Let Abram leave his kindred
And journey toward the west,
Of him shall come a nation
To heed the Lords behest;
A nation and people
Let Jacobs sons increase
From Bethlehem. Bethlehem-Judah,
Shall come the Prince of Peace.
The centuries are lapsing,
And Judah's people weep.
But bark the cry is sounding,
The Shepherd Of the Sheep,
The Prince among the Prophets,
The stem of Jesse's rod,
He lies on Mary's bosom,
And earth receives her God.
A tale of simple meaning,
Of men from sin set free
The wisdom of the ages
Is lisped at Mary's knee.
The sages of Judea,
They wait for his replies
Within their very temples
The child confounds the wise.
Lol fishermen are round him;
No men of high degree,
No learned Magi of the East,
The wondering people see.
The mystery of creation,
A woman and Child,
One through the serpent fallen,
The other undefiled.
Ay, guard the treasure safely;
IT'S not for palace gates,
Nor for the dim secluded halls
Where lordly science waits;
But for the poor and simple
The path that Jesus trod,
He fashioned so that childlike hearts
Alone may find out God.

ON SHEDDING MY F1ANNE1s

We have parted, but well remember
When first to my bosom you came,
For the dolorous chils of November
Had made me rheumatic and lame.
Where the moth and the rust cannot harm you
fold you away ON the shelf,
And with spices and gums embalm you,
The limp, lifeless shape of myself.
Like their odors, to me unforgetful,
Will faint, subtle memories cling,
AS I shudder and SILVER regretful
In the pitiless east winds of spring.
