THE TRUE STORY OF KING MARSH
MELLOW.
BY JOHN BRowNJOHS.

BY JOHN BRowSJoHN.
O, jolly old fellow was King MarShmclow
As ever wore a crown
At every draft of wine he quatled,
And at every joke of his Jester, he laughed,
Laughed till the tears ran down
o, he laughed Ha! Ha! and he laughed lio! Ho!
And every time that he laughed do you know,
The Lords-in. Waiting, they did Just So
But Queen Bonnibcrry was not quite so merry;
She sat and sighed all the while.
And she turned very red and shook her head
At every thing Jingle, the Jester, said
And never vouchsafed smile.
q, she sighed All me! and she sighed Hcigho
And every time that she sighed do you know
The Ladics.in Waiting they did just so.
Then the Jester spoke, just by way OF joke,
90, he was a funny manD
And he said, "May it please your Majesties,
/ wish to complain of these impudent tlcas
That bite me whenever they can"
Then the King he laughed iIa! Halo! llo!
And the Queen she sighed All mc!-lleigh oh!
While the Lords and Ladies, they did just so.
".
e'As for that, my man." the King bcgan,-
1.-THE neas bite whomcvcr they like,
But the very first flea you chance to see,
Wherever he may happen to be,
You have my permission to strike"
And the King he roarcd lIa, Halo! llo!
While the Queen she sighed All me,-lieigh- oh.
And the Lords and Ladies', they did just so.
Y.
Just then Jingle sighted flea that had lighted
Right on--wcll, where do you suppose?
Why on MarshmellOw's own royal face, and the
clown,
In bringing his hand with II swift motion down,
Nearly ruined the poor monarch's nose.
An the King he shrciked All. Ah!-Oh! Oh!
And the Queen burst out laughing lla! Ha.-
Hoi Ho,
While the Lords and the Ladies stood stupidity by
And didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

to make Edward happy she herself hardly
knew
If WAS clear cool night in October Allie
sat arranging orange flowers in Dclia's hair,
who in another hour would be maid no more,
for that was her wedding night. A full moon
caught up the fading twilight rays, and shone
brightly upon the few selected guests who
came to share the nuptial feast
There, that VII do, Allie; they are fixed

been 50 good and kind to me don'tkno how

The last words fell heavily upon her, and turn

don't know, Della; but | feel so sad tonight
that would rather be alone than see you at
the altar" And while Della looked up in as
constituent Allies countcnance assumed a
still more pensivc look, for she was thinking
of Clara, and still wondering why being so
GOOD should be doomed to misery. There
stood windy before her the terrible contrast
"A marriage for money and one for love. She

90 forth with bright hopes of happy future
beaming upon her brow, while her heart beat

Oppressed spirit broodcd like pail oyel
the home of the former. No farewell token
of esteem for the departing husband, no wei
come with outstretched arms on his return
and no kind caresscs that give rest to weary
heart Such was a faint picture of Clara'S
state But Della was happy in the man of hel
choice No shadow of doubt or distrust could
ever tlarken her domestic circle; no cold indif
ference enter its pale; but words of affection
would ever greet the ears of her husband
while lit;n acts of kindness must ever keep
their mutual affection warm.

FACTS ApGUr KEROSENE

Kerosene oil is one of the products de-
rived from refining crude petroleum as it
come. from the we'll.
The oil is always more or less danger
Gus, according to the amount OF volatile
gases left in it.
Every lamp filed with the fuid is liable
to explode after burning several hours.
But no explosion will ever happen with
the lamp full.
The danger comes from the constant
generation of an invisible vapor in the
confined space above the oil. This vapor
which is inAammable, is caused by the
heat Of the burner communicated to the
oil but it will not explode unless expos
ed TO fame. The metal attachment on
lamps often become 40 degrees warmer
than the oil, which is itself sometimes as
high ms 100 degrees. Hence kerosene, to
be entirely safe, should be near $50 de-.
grees proof.
But very little Of the oil used il as good
as this. OF sixty three samples recently
tested, only eight we're found entirely safe.
This will account for the terrible loss of
human life from the almost universal use
OF kerosene oil.
A simple te.t is to place a tablespoon
ful of the oil in r saucer and apply
lighted match; il the oil ignites it's unsafe,
never use it. II it does not take fra it is
not necessarily safe because the tenn
persture of the oil in the open air is not
so great as that in burning lamp.
The only reliable test is one made by
slowly heating some oil in which ther
mometer is placed, constantly noting the
number OF degrees and applying n lighted
match, not to the oil but to the vapor. if
any, just above the surface. If the oil
flashes below 100 degrees rejcc. it.
This flashing point is the temperature
at which the oil emits an inHammnble
vapor, and depends upon the quantity OF
nsphtha or gasoline in the oil This point
should always be higher than the tenn
perature that the oil ever reaches in
lamp, which is often 100 degrees.
Cautions. l. Keep the metallic parts
Of lamps clean and the air passages open.
2. After lamp has been burning
three or more hours ut one time, never
relight again, till filed.
g. In extingushing the light, turn the
wick down quite low and allow few
seconds to intervene before blowing out
the fickering fame, or, better still, do
not blow it out, but lot it "1icker" out
