LEGEND OF THE FoReEr-ME-Nor.

When flowers first bedecked the ear'hi
In Eden's happy bowers,
The Lord, tits said, in cool OF DAY,
Came down among the flowers.
10 each He gave its fitting name
To each loving wsrd,
And blessed the garden He had made,
Beholdlng it was good.
Again, He came, in cool of day,
And walked among the flowers;
But one He saw, blossom fair,
Was sad in Eden's bower.
The loving Lord bent tenderly,
And rained its dropping head,
When, Lord, nay name / have forgot
The blue-eyed blossom said.
No bitter word the Master gave,
Forget me not" said He,
And, smiling on the sad, sweet flower,
Lo, this thy name shall be-"

AN English writer calls attention to
the fact that the failure of the potato
in Ireland in 1916 gave an almost new
population to the United States and to
the British colonies. This writer thinks
that if the millions of men oppressed by
famine in China are not debarred from
migration great many of them will
seek the United States. Russia keeps
the Cinnamon from Europe; but only
the sea keeps him from western America,
where capital encourages him.

ACCORDING to the London Spectator,
the telephone has been adopted by the
Chinese, the telegraph being useless, as
they have no alphabet. Five hundred
miles have already been spoken over in
China. 1t would be very singular if we
should receive back from the Chinese
suggestions for the practical use of the
telephone, would, however, only
be another illustration of the proverb
that Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion," and also of application. In these
days of scientific surprises and sudden
reversal of relations, such result is not
altogether beyond the bounds of pro-
bility.

A NEW mode of heating the cars on the
New York elevated railway has been ex-
perimented with On both sides of each
car, under the seats, are placed inch and
a quarter steam-pipes. These run
through galvanized sheet-iron cylinders
about five inches in diameter, the space
between the pipe and the cylinder being
compactly filled with fine sand. The
pipes are connected with the locomotive
boiler. While waiting at station,
steam is forced into the pipes, and the
heat is taken upand radiated by the sand
in the cylinder. The New York papers
represent the experiment as having been
quite successful.

THE three American colleges in Turk

Italian, French, American, Swedish,
Turkish, Tunisian, Dalmatian, Russian

The peaceful victory at Creedmoor is to
be undisturbed this year by any compe,
ting British team Of marksmen; and the
refusal, by last years rivals. of the invi-
tation to come over and try it again, is
accompanied by handsome acknowledg-
ment Of the superior method Of American
marksmen, in sharing their observations
with each other upon their relative shots
Nothing is said about the superiority Of
the American breech-loaaer, with which
our own team would certainly be Inclined
to share the credit Of the victory; but this
is TOO much, perhaps, to expect Of manu-
featuring rival ion the eve Of large pre-
psrations, which will have the effect Of
keeping English workmen busy for time
whatever the result may be on the map Oh

Our in Chicago they are in dead earnest
about the introduction of Motfett bell
punch. The Inter- Ocean says:-"Talk as
you will, and kick against it as you please
you have got to hear the tinkle of that

like wild fire. 1t is asplendid ally Of the
temperance organization; and it has this
to sustain it. it will bring money into the
treasury of every state that adopts it
Virginia has found it to operate in ths
way, and it is argued tina t the same result
will follow its introduction into all othe
states. Up to this time, we have no
heard much about it in .PennsylvaEis
the Legislature being evidently afraid t.
tackle it for the present, or too much en-
gagged in framing bills that provide Office
for party favorites. But the pressure Q
public sentiment will compel the member
to give it attention. Nearly all classes o
people demand it.

The fatal "accident," whereby a va
riety performer in Providence theatre was
shot and killed, has led to the introduc-
ton into the New York Assembly of a
bill forbidding all such performances, in
cluding trapeze, knife throwing, rope
walking, and other displays by which life
is endangered. The enforcement Of such a
law is always matter of difficulty, but
the adoption ola provision allowing the
recovery ofexemplary damages from th'
proprietor of a theatre in which an 'acci-
dent occurs during the performance of the
prohibited acts would probably help to
enforce it.
