THE Philadelphia Bulletin draws moral
from the condition of the New York police,
and says: ''The New York papers are filled
with complaints of the inefficiency and bru-
tality of the police force of that city, the
Herald going so far as to class the police
men among the dangerous classes and to
insist that they compel decent people to live
under reign of terror Philadelphia had
nearly the same experience while her police
force was filled with and controlled by
Democrats. What New York needs is a
heavy dose of Republicanism. 1t is, how
ever, somewhat encouraging to perceive in
the reports from that city in the morning
papers that the policemen are beginning to
club each other. This kind of variation of
the usual programme ought to have general
encouragement"

An eyewitness of the recent terrible tornado
in Kansas says that the cloud from which the
wind and rain seemed to come was in the
shape OF an immense inverted tunnel, of a
dark blush color, and seemed to be continual
ly whirling and grinding within itself. The
tunnel seemed to float along with its bowl
close to the ground, occasionally bounding
high in air and almost disappearing for several
seconds, when it would again drop to the
earth Whenever it thus leaped into the air,
whatever was upon the earth under it was
left unframed.

An old turkey raiser gives the following
experiment, fur turkeys were fed on meal,
boiled potatoes and oats. Four others Of
the same brood were also, at the time, con-
fined in another pen and fed daily on the
same article, bus with one pint of very fine
ly pulver.zed charcoal mixed with their food
mixed meal and boiled potatoes. They
had also plentiful supply of charcoal ii
their pen, The eight were killed on thu
same day, and there was difference Of on,
and One-hali pounds each in favor of th,
fowls which had been supplied with tn,
charcoal, they being much the fattest, snC
the meat being greatly superior in point o
tenderness and flavor.

ASTRAY.

hbth
I travelled forbidden road,
Which nrst appeared 50 lowery fair
That onward eagerly strode
Tlll--to my horror and dospairl-
All buds and blossoms blooming there,
All tender boughs and twlgs OF green
Stood changed 10 burrs and nettles keen,
Whose angry points my garments tore.
And pricked my hands till they were sore.
Bewildered at the wondrous change,
That should have warned me from the place,
kept my course with swltter pace,
And saw marvel stu more strange;
For cruel flints sprang through the ground
To meet my feet at every bound,
With cash on cash they made them bleed,
Then time II was that should heed
just at the moment Of my need,
a shining man stood at my side
Whose lustre fell on all around,
And spread glory far and wide
"And who art thou7' trembling cried.
"Glve ear" said he, ITO what | say:
am the guide Of all who stray,
TO point them back TO virtues path
The guardian Of thy erring way;
And step by step-in love not wrath
These angry flints and briars strew,
To warn thy feet IRON wandering So
knelt and kissed his garments hem
And cried: "oh, Angel, sent from Heaven
Make sharper yet each thorny stemi
Increase the flints TO seven times seven
Fulfill thy purpose in my pain-
Iwill endure and not complaint"
He fed, and with deep remorse
Turned back from my forbidden course
But, o, how many weary hours
travelled o'er those blghted bowers,
Rebloomed with all their former flowers
Theodore Ighon.
