a GOLDEN Mo4ENTs-How sorry one
would be for d man who, starting out
upon q journey, had his pockets full of
golden coin which, one by one, had slip
ped through some unmended hole or
rent, so that when he. came to the end
of his trip, he had not one left, but lay
down upon his bed a beggarl How
strictly we would look at our own pockets
after hearing the tale, and make very
sure that what coin we had should be
well spent, or boarded carefully, and not
scattered in the roadside dust Yet, we

SUGeEsTIoN 10 AfNERs.-The abrupt
change from bright sunshine to the in.
tense darkness of O mine often causes
temporary blindness, where the tourney
fom the top to the bottom Of the mine
Is made quickly. To allow the miners
to recover their sight. it is the custom,
in some mines, to have a well lighted,
whitewashed room at the foot of the
shaft, where the miners can sit while
recovering the use of their eyes. To OBJ
Viate this delay, 1t is suggested that, II
one eye be closed a moment ortwo before
entering the pit, and kept closed till the
poVtom OF the shaft is reached, on open.
H!g the eye the miner will be able to see
qlsflnetly the moment the lower "a rl,
ness ls reached. This custom Is already
carried out by miners In Mexico who
come TO the daylight, and then return at
once keeping one eye closed during their
brief excursion to the sunlight.

In SCHOOL DAYS.
BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.


StIn sits the school house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around It still the sumaIchs grow.
And blackberry vines are runnin
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED with raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jacknife's carved initial.
The charcoal frescOes on it's walls,
Its doors worn sill b$tray1ng
The feet, that, creeping slow To school,
Went stoIming out TO playing.
Long years ago a winters sun
Shone over its setting;
Lit up this western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curis,
And brown ewes fun of grieving,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school was leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
His cap pulled down upon his face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he fingered,
AS restless her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
lie saw ner I'LL her eyes, TIC AClo
The soft hands light caresstng,
And heard the trembling of her voice,
AS if fault cOnfeSSing.
Z" L am sorry that 1 spelt the word;
/ hate to go above you,
Because"-the brown eyes lower fell
because; you see, love you!
Still memory to a gray haired man
That sweet child-face Is shOW1ng;
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn, in LIES hard school,
How few who pass above him,
Lament their triumph and loss
Like her-because they love him.

The Daily Atens,



We may at any moment hear that the
treaty of peace has been signed between
Turkey and. Russia. The wsitful hes
itancy Of the Ottoman Power meant to
defer as long as possible the signing of the
instrument which declares her nullity lis
human. Evident as has been the utter
hopelessness of opposing further the
victorious Muscovite she could not give
over hoping that at the last moment some
Power would intervene between her and
her apparent destiny. Austria, however,
has been treasured, :" and England has
made up her mind to defer smashing
Russia until she can corner her In the
Conference. Then she will see
whether everything suits her, and if not
-Earl Derby will make another speech.
Il must not be forgotten that England is
spending her six million pounds in guns
and ships, and talks of one army crops
being ready and an other ''wellunder way: :"
but these things do not necessarily mean
war. General Gourko is marching with
thirty thousand men to San Stefano and
the Russians are gathering artillery there
but that does not mean that there is not to
be peace, In fact, Gourko is just the
person to force upon the Turkish mind
the necessity of putting Turkish hand
writing to the bottom of those iron bound
conditions without further delay. The
signature of the treaty will close the fight
ing chapter for the present. and if the
kaiserbuud holds firm, as there is every
likelihood, the Eastern question will be
quietly narcotized at the Conference for
possible another quarter of a century.
The Greek furry is not likely to affect
the general issue in any way.-N. Y.

asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia

materials, and their delicate COOrlng and fragrant
