Master Johnny's Next Door Neighbor.


e 1t was spring the first time that saw her,
for her papa and mamma moved in
Next door, just as skating was over, and mar
bles about to begin.
For the fence in our back yard was broken,
and saw as ! peeped through the slat,
There were Johnny Jump-ups' all aroundher,
and ] knew it was spring just by that.
" never Knew whether she saw me-ior she
didn't say nothing tome,
But Ma here's slat in the fence broke, and
the boy that is next door can see.'
But the next day climbed on our wood she'd,
as you know, mamma says I've right,
And she calls out, sWell, peekin' is manners ?
and l answered her, Sass is perlite ?
4" But wasn't bit mad, no, papa, and to
prove it the very next day,
When she1ran past our fence in the morning
s- happened to get in her way,
For you know ] am chunked and clumsy, rs
she says are all boys OF my size,
And she nearly upset me- she did, pa, and
laughed till tears came in her eyes.
'tAnd then weswere friends from that moment,
for 1 knew that she told Kitty Sage,
And she wasn't a girl that would fatter, that
she thought was. tail for my age
And I>gave her four apples that evening, and
took her to ride on my sled,
Aud What am 1 telling you this for?' why
papa, my neighbor is dead
GU don't hear one-half am saying-I really
do think it's too bad
Why, you might have seen Grape on her doo1-
knob, and noticed to-day I've been sad.
And they've got her a coffin OF rosewood, and
they say they have dressed her in white,
And I've never once looked through the fence,
pa, since she dicd-at eleven last night.
"And ma says it's decent and proper, as was
her neighbor and irend
That should go there to the funeral, and she
thinks that you ought to attend;
But am so clumsy and awkward, know l
shall be in the way,
And suppose they should speak 10 me, papa, /
wouldn't know just what to say.
So think l will get up quite early know
sleep late, bat l knew
g I'll be sale to wake upif our Bridget pulls
the string that II tie to my toe.
And Eli crawl through the fence and I'll
g-sti.er the Johnny Jump-ups' as they
grew
Round her feet the first day that saw her,
and, papa, I'll give them to you.
For you're Il big man, and you know, pa,
can come and go just where You choose,
And you take the flowers in to her, and sure
ly they'll never refuse;
But papa, Cont say they're from johnny.
they won't understand, don't you see,
B just lay them down on her bosom, and
papa, she'll know they're from me.

The trade in glass in the United States

The trade in glass in the United States
within the last few years has reached
enormous proportions. Pittsburgh, Pa,
is the great glass center of the country.
More than half of all the glass produced
is made there. Fhe productions aggre-
gate over 81 900, 900 annually, employing
a capital, which includes buildings, ma
chinery and grounds, of nearly, if not
quite, S3,5OO,0OO. There are. seventy
three factories, containing iniall 500 pots.
Each year So, 600, 900 is paid in wages to
the hands employed, who number some
5,248. One can form some little idea of
the magnitude of the business by ascer-
tanning the amount of material consum-
ed annually. Last year there were con
sumed 1926 tons of German clay, 800
tons of lead, $50 tons of pearl ash, 2,760
barrels of salt, 6,055 tons of straw ,O25

TIMELY TOPICS.

A Russian paper gives an account of a
plague of locusts near Elisabethpol,
which forced detachment of troops on
the march to retrace their steps. The
insects settled so thick on the soldiers
faces, uniforms and muskets that the
commander, driven to desperation, or
dered firing at them. This was done for
half an hour, but produced no effect, and
the soldiers were obliged to march back.
The swarm covered an area Of twenty
two square miles.

Sergeant John P. Finley has investi-
gated the cyclones that swept over Kan
sas in May He travelled in a wagon
and rode altogether five hundred miles,
visiting thirty-five towns and villages.
" / started out in making observations
by first finding the center OF the track Of
the storm, and then making correspond
ing observation on both sides to ascertain
the effect of the wind on each. | found
after a great deal of questioning that
these tornadoes were always heralded by
the appearance of hailstones and rain,
which only ended when the funnel dis
appeared. The funnel. which resembles
water spout, was generally seen ap-
preaching from the northwest and south
west, and has the embodiment of the air
currents coming from both the direc-
tions. The northwest clouds always re-
sembled heavy rain-clouds, while those
in the southwest were a light, feecy
color. indicating wind. After their ap-
pearance the inhabitants would notice
between the two, near the apex, a terri
BILE commotion, and in few moments
this would be followed by the funnel ex-
tending gradually from the clouds. Tt
was this funnel-cloud that always did
the damage. The majority of these
storms travel about thirty miles an
hour, and while they are on the ground
their force is great enough to destroy
everything within their reach.n

that the position taken by the supreme

take place in Montreal until the legality
of the order is established-will be OBJ
served by the local orangemen. The

you can at least remind them of Divine
mercy, and tell them the story of the

The next speaker, a Quiet gentleman,
wearing the blue blouse of a private
soldier, after some remarks about prac-
tical religion, added: ~ cannot agree

providing that the whistles of all To-

the following, written by one who suf-

killed, but then he loses a certain num-
