A CITIZEN of Chicago, according to
the Journal of Commerce of that city.
has generated, by means Of the pure
water OF Lake NJ ichigan and few cents
WORTH of naptha, light, superior to the
electric light, and which may be used to
warm buildings slse. 1t can be applied
to buildings without change of CRATES or
gas fittings, and that, too, by very simple,
inexpensive means. Cars, also, can be
warmed and lighted by this new process
without tho odor of gas or oil, and. with
the certainty that no accident can possib-
ly attend any collision or other railroad
catastrophe, for in such a case light and
fire are Immediately extinguished. Scen-
lists who have examined this remarkable
discovery pronounce it the wonder of the
the nineteenth century.

You have oftcn,n no doubt, had occasion to

Though the garment at first seemed
certain to please,
That, after some wearing, the sleeves

And that's what the clothier, of course,

When he said to the customer,
Long None at all

In cutting . coat We allow for the
crawl?
The expression wss one vholsy new to
me then;
But it set me To thinking how well
it applies.
Not merely to coats. but to women and
men,
In matters Of life as they daily arise;
Consider the shrinkage in human
The promise how great. the perform
ance how small,
And lest disappointment should come
unawsres,
Remember the sleeve, and ALLOW for

Whatever the fsarce Opposition may

But the platform to which he so va
liantly clings.
By which he proposes to stand or to

things,
And in politics always ALLOW for the
crawl!
You are deeply in love with the sweet
est of girls,
Whose presence the height Of your
happiness brings.
She looks like a queen in her beautiful
curls
Like . seraph she smiles, like siren
she sings!
Ah splendid and vast are the fancies
of youth,
But down to plain facts they must
finally fall;
And happy the couple who. finding the

Believe in your neighbor IS much as

But al ways be sure to ALLOW for the
