What a Diver Saw.

The divers who work for wreckinp
companies see many curious things and
have very strange experiences. You re
member the wreck Of the atlantic on the
coast of Maine. Well, John O'Neil. the
Eastport Meg diver, was employed to
raise the bodies, He made seyerel de-
scents, but failed to open the cabin doors.
At last he succeeded As the cabin door
was opened, the first thing he saw was
two women fully dressed, suspended in
the water The rush of water carried
them toward him, and they appeared to
be alive. He stepped back in horror.
and it was some time before he gained
sufficient courage to enter the cabin
There he found the women who were
passengers on that i'll fated ship, kneeling
and holding each other by the hands, as
if they had been engaged in prayer when
the steamer went down. He then went
into the smoking room. The cabin was
in the widest disorder. Chairs and la
bes were turned upside down, bottles
were scattered about, and the men lay on
the floor as if they had persisted during
8, drunken revel. Most of them had pis-
tolls it their hands. Scenes like this are
in sunken vessels which carry
passengers down with them.

POETRY.
lFrom Little Rock Democrat.l
Jesus of Nazareth Passeth Bly,"

BY MRS. s. R. ALLEN.
Grey centuries have rolled along;
Ages have circled by;
Since doubling, believing ewes
Beheld the Christ draw nigh;
Since humble fishers mending nets
BY distant Galilee.
Were startled by the Masters call,
Arise, and follow me.
Long centuries since the blind man felt
His darkenss change tolight;
And knew Savior's hand divine
Had clothed his eyes with sight
But still in days of pain or stress,
The Comforter draws nigh;
Still whispers: Be thou not afraid,
The Helper passeth by;
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by"
We may not touch his garments hem,
Nor clasp His healing hand;
No instant miracles are wrought
To-day at His command.
But tender daisies as they bloom,
And grasses as they spring,
Clothing with green the cold dark loan.
His presence seems to bring.
The earth grows beautiful beneath
The south winds balmy breath,
Once more mirrcle is wrought.
Since Life is born of Death.
And in the smile of opning flowers,
In Natures grateful sigh,
We see and hear the message old:
The Savior draweth nigh.
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by"
To-day our stately forest trees
Wave branches bare and brown,
A somber pail of withered grass,
Covers the cold damp ground.
A mournful mist is on the hills,
While length'ning shadows throng
In my site circles in the wales,
And sweep the field along.
December wears her wintry smiles,
And soon these echoing trees
Shall trill the requiem oftne year,
In notes of wailing breeze;
And wrapped in winding sheet of snow
Shall stricken nature lie;
Vet He. who bids the seasons change,
Shall be forever nigh
Tho SHOWS may drift, tho winds may
sigh,
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by'.'

JENNIE'S ENGAGEMENT.

" Nonsense, Jennie, listen to me

Yes, you will" rejoined the young
man with superlative good humor, you

" Sis!erly fiddlesticks ! tell you that

give me kiss, little cherry lips, and then
you may set the happy day, or, If you
like, I'll set it myself, and AZ very early
date, l assure you"
Jennie Kingston gave queer, ner-
vous little cough, blushcd little, and
responded:
"Pm very much surprised at you,
jim"
"Now, Jennie, don't like to be i'm
polite, but upon my honor, cant belisve
that"
"Mr. Colburn.'

The exhibition, he said, Is chalienge

did not stand there to speak to dairymen
but for them. When he accepted the
Presidency Of the American pairymsn's
association, he found he-was dealing with
men who knew what they were talking
about. aud were bent upon finding out
every truth which affected their industry.
No university in the land has had the

Two striking facts should give our
people courage. Heretofore we have
looked for markets in Europe, only when
war or famine ragged there, and at such
times transportation rates have been put
up so high, that the larger share Of the
grain has gone to the carriers on railroad
and water routes. But, during the past
season, although the price OF food has
fallen, our people have sent more prod

been carried cheaper. These facts should
give confidence to men Of business aud
Of labor.

To Cook Tough Meat.

All kinds Of poultry and meat can be
cooked quicker by adding 10 the water
in which they are boiled little vinegar
or piece OF lemon. BY the use OF an
acid there will be considerable saving of
fuel as well as shortening Of time. Its
action is beneficial on old tongh meats,
rendering them quite tender and easy to
be digested. Tainted meats and fowls

The cause Of the great explosion in
The hoaring mill at Minneapolis last
week, like that Of the candy i0anufac,
tory in New York last winter, is very
much Of puzzle to scientific mcn.-
In Minneapolis three mills We're
blown ny, several others set on fire,
ao.no ten persons Killed and property
lost to the amount Of 81 SOC, 900 49,
The explosion IS attributed to the 70
milton Of gas generated in the "patonr
niddings purifier process. No such
explosions had ever taken place in
this country before, but Prot. Weber, a
learned scientist Of Berlin, Prussia,
has recently shown as th" result Of
investigation into mill fires that all
sorts Of -four in d@st clouds is iuHam-
mabIe aud that some Of the oXpIo.
sions in coaI mines supposed to be
caused by tre.damp have really been
caused by clouds OF coal dust. The
