Miscellany.
The village stOrk.


The old Hcrcynian Forest sent
His weather on the plain;
Wahlwinkel's orchards writhed aud bent
In whirls Of wind and rain.
Within her nest, upon her roof
For generations tempest-prOOf,
Wahlwinkel's stork with her young ones lay
when the hand Of the hurricane tore away
The house and the home that held them.
The storm passed by; the happy trees
Stood up and kissed the sun;
And from the birds new melodies
Came huting one by one.
The stOrk, upon the paths below,
Went sadly pacing to and fro
With dripping plumes and head depressed,
For the thought Of the spoiled ancestral nest
Aud the old inherited honor.
"Bchold her now !" the throstc sang
From out the linden tree;
"WhO knows from what line she sprans,
Beyond the unknown sea29
'lf she could sing, perchance her tale
Might move us, chrruped the nightingale.
"Sinp2 She can only rattle and creakI
Whistled the bulfnch, with silver beak
within the wires Of his prison.
And all birds there, or loud or low,
Were one in sco1 and scorn;
But still the sturk paced to and fro,
As utterly furlorn.
Then suddenly, in turn OF eye,
She saw a poet passing by,
And the thought in his brain arrow Of fre
That pierced her with passion and pride and ire
And gave her voice TO answer.
She raised her head and shook her wings,
And faced the ppHg crowd;
BEST service" said she, "never sings,
True honor is not loud.
My kindred carol not nor boast;
Yet we are loved and welcomed most
And our ancient race is dearest and nrst,
And the hand that hurts us is held accursed
In every home Of Wahlwinkel!
"Beneath a sky forever fair,
And with summer sod,
The laud come from smiles and there
My brother was u god!
My nest upon a temple stands,
And sees the shine of desert lands;
And the palm aud the tamarisk cool my wings
When the blazing beam Of the MONDAY stngs,
Aud drink from the holy river!
There l am sacred, even as here;
Yet dare not be lost
when msals are bright, hearts full Of cheer,
At hlithesOmc Pentecost.
Then from my obehsk DEPART
Guided by something iu my heart,
And sweep in line DER Lihyan sands
To the blOssoming olives Of Greciau lands,
Aud rest on the Crctau Ida!
"Plrnassus sres me As | sail;
cross the Adrian brine:
The distant submits fade aud fail,
Daimatian, Apeuuiuc;
The Alpine SHOWS beneath me gleAm,
see the yellow Danube stream:
but hasten on till my spent wings fall
Where bring blessing to- each aud all,
And babes to the wives Of wahlwiukel"
She stopped her head aud spake no more;
The birds on either hand
sang louder, lustfer than before
Tuey could not understand.
Thus mused the stnrk with snap Of beak:
Better be silent than to speak
Highest being can never be taught;
They have their voices, my thought;
And they were never Ia Egyptr'

The recurrence of u flour dust explosion in
a mill at Minneapolis has naturally excited the
attention of fire insurance companies. Ex-
periments by two distinguished professors
have established not only the extreme inAam-
inability of this dust, but also that of the dust
of sugar and starch. Indeed, any matter con-
tanning carbon may be made explosive by re-
ducing it to powder, subjecting it to blast
of air and bringing flame in'contact with it,
Yet the flour dust would not ignite from live
Goals, nor from the electric spark a flame and
n free circulation of oxygen among the parti-
cles being necessary to produce ignition and
explosion. The necessary conditions are
found in sugar refncries, in piano and furni-
ture factories, in starch mills, in candy manu-
factories, and are incidental TO every industry
where finely pulverized matter is the result of
the processes to which the material used is
subjected The Spectator, an insurance jour
nal remarks that these explosions demon
strato the fact that nothing but covered lights
should be used in factories where large vol
umes of dust are the necessary accompani-
ment of the industry prosecuted and sec
onds a suggestion that the "Davy lamp, used
in mines as protection against the ignition
of fire damp" is the only safe one TO be
used in mills or factories where fine dust
abounds.

The following simple rules for pre-
serving health and promoting persona
comfort, if not new to come Of ouI
readers, are mono the less important to
every one.
The object of brushing the teeth
10 to remove tho destructive particles oil
TODD which by their decomposition gen
crate decay. To neutralize the acid re-
cutting from this chemical change is the
object of dentifrice. A stiff brush should
be used AFTER every meal, and u thread
of silk floss or India rubber passed
between the teeth 20 remove particles
of food. Rinsing the mouth in lime
water neutralizes the acid.
Living and sleeping in room which
the sun never enters is slow form Of
suicide. A sun bath is the most re-
freshing and life giving bath that can
possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit 10
damp shOes or wear loot covering fitting
and pressing closely.
The best time TO eat fruit 10 halt an
hour before breakfast.
A full bath should not DO taken loss
than three hours after meal. Never
drink cold water before bsthing. DO
not take cold bath when tired.
Keep box Of powdered starch on
the washstand and after washing, rub
q pinch over the hands. II will prevent
chapring.
If feeling cold before going to bed,
exercise do not roast over fire.

not advertise and tells his customers that
ho saves that expense and gives it to
his patrons. 1t sounds little plausible
and might catch . man who never
thinks, but il couldn't DO stuffed down
an ordinarily intelligent man. Tho in.
telligent man knows that q merchant
who does not advertise IN this ago of tn c
world, gets very little trade and has to
make big per cent. on what he does
sell in order to make living. The in
telligent han also knows that if the
aforesaid merchant should happen to
save cent by not advertising, ho would
be the last man to give it to hi custo-
mers The Is not liberal enough for that,
He isn't that kind Of q dougbnus.
Moreover, the intelligent man knows
that il is the njmble sixpence that makes
the money. The wide.awske merchant,
who advertises what he has, tells tile
people to come and see him, treats them
politely when they do come,-he is the
who sells enough goods to
make money even on . small, very small
pr oft and it will always be saving to
your pocket to trade with him."
