THE SCARE CROW.

The farmer looked at his cherry tree,
with thick buds clustered on every bough;
81 wish could cheat the robins" said he;
"lf somebody only would SLOW me how !"
'1ll make a terrible scarecrow grim,
With threatening arms and with bristllng
head,
And up in the tree I'll fasten him
To frighten them half to death" he said
He fashioned a sea ecrow tattered and torn
o, twas horrible thing to see!
And very early one summer morn,
He set 1t up In his cherry tree,
The blossoms were white as the light sea foam
The beautiful tree was q lovely sight,
But the scarecrow stood there 50 much at home
That the birds flew screaming away in fright
But the robins, watching him day after day,
With heads on one side and eyes so bright,
surveying the monster, began TO say,
"Why should this fellow our prospects blight.
"ne never moves round for the roughest
weather,
He's harmless, comlcal. tough old fellow;
Let's all go into the tree together,
For he won't bulge till the fruit is mellow!"
SO up they flew; and the sauclest pair
Mid the shady branches peered and perked,
Selected a spot with the utmost care,
And all day mcrrly sang and worked.
And where do you think they built their nest2
In the scarecrows pocket If you please,
That, half-concealed on his ragged breast,
Made a charming covert of safety and ease!
By the time the cherries were ruby-red
A thriving family, hungry and brisk,
The whole long day on the ripe fruit fed;
Twas so convenient they saw no risk.
Until the children were ready to fly
All undlsturbed they lived In the tree;
For nobody thought to look at the Guy
For robins flourlshing family

Danger From ih,sphorus Burn.

The Medical Times and Gazette mem
tions the case of young man who, while
travelling from Lyons to Paris, lit a match
by scratching it with his thumb nail, and a
piece of incandescent phosphorus penetrated
under the nail aud made a slight burn, to
which he paid no attention. But after an
hour the pain became intense. the thumb
swelled, then the hand and next the forearm.
He was obliged to aligbt at station on the
journey and send for medical man, who
declared that immediate amputation of the
arm was necessary. The patient insisted on
postponng the operation for few hours
until the arrival Of his father for whom he
had telegraphed. But before the latter, how
ever, could reach his son, it was too late; the
poisonous matter had gained the arm, then
the shoulder, aud any operation became i'm
possible. He died in great agony in only
twenty. seven hours after the burn. The ase
shows the danger of har ding phosphorus in
the manner described

Silent Women.

One Of the prominent citizens OF a suburb
at Chicago promised ladies' sewing soci-
ETY. certain sum of money for their tIeasu-
ry if they could meet for one afternoon, each
with their individual work. and, attending
strictly to business, refrain from speaking
one word during the time allotted to society
work. The great effort was made with sue
cess. showing what perseverance and will
power can do in this rough world. Though
the signs aud grosns were many and heart
rending, the laughing grew quite dang erous;
though At times quiet was quite funereal the
click of the knitting needles, the rustic of
the fancy work or the winding of arm would
make it quite lively, Only the tongues were
still. Though some were fi reed to place
marble, or a lczenee, or thimble in their
mouths; though the strips of court plaster
were on hand though the bottle of mucil-
age was sometimes pa. sed around-tak ing
them altogether, nothing Of the kind was re-
quired, save the word and the will of the
ladies, who had pledge d themselves to raise
in that way, the requisite amount for their
| treasury.

Spiders as Big as Birds.

Says-the Leadville (Colorado) Chronicle:
A short distance from Buena Vista is cave
in ,abitedby spiders which differ from other
spiders in their enormous size, and are quite
useful to the needy people of that region.
The caye was discovered last December by
party of sight seers and the spiders and their
work were witnessed. On entering the cave
one is struck by the funny looking webs.
they are worked like other webs of spiders,
but every fibre is ten times as large as the
ones woven by ordinary spiders. On pass
ing further into the cave the spiders are
encountered They are about the size of
small birds, apd make strange sound while
weaving their web. Their webs are SO
tough and the fb so large that it is almost
all impossibility to break down web. Some
weeks ago while looking at a cave, miner
got to examining the webs. Their strands
were about the size of No. ~ thread, and
he thought they could be used for thread.
Having a needle in his possession, be broke
off one of the strands and found that it fit
ted the needle. Sc wing on loose button TO
test the efficacy, he found it as strong as
silk thread, and it answered his every pur-
pose. Since then the people have focked
in and carried away hosts of the webs, but
the spiders do not seem to object in the
least. There is some talk among the capit-
alists of starting thread factory there and
using the webs for thread.

The number of good and finely finish
cd buildings going up and completed
this season in Emporia, and the manner
In which the work has been done, proves
that we can boast as good workmen in
Emporia as can be found in any city.
We spoke sometime ago al considerable
length of the new $4,000 residence Of
Hon. VIM. Jay, but did not then have
the data to mention the gentlemen
who had done the various
branches of work on the build
ing. The structure throughout is GER
tainly a credit to every man who was
connected with the work The founda-
ton, which is one of the best in south
ern Kansas, was put in by John NcBTil-
Ian, the carpenter work and stating by
Holmes & Jillson; the plumbing and
tin roof by d. c. Mc1Iurtrie; the plas-
tering by Trunk Mccain; ornamental

EDS. NEWS: No sooner had / opened
my store on the morning after the burn
ing Of the fremont House. than began
TO hear criticisms of various kinds on
the fire department. Men were sitting
around talking of when, how and where
they failed, and what they ought to have
done Now, would like TO ask, if.
when the occupants of The house had
barely time to escape and some of them
with only their night clothes on, how it
is to be expected that firemen could get
therein time to stay the devouring ele
ment so that people might dress and go
out quietly. Now, the fact is, the best
equipped, paid fire departments
have attained little ii any better
success, and in my Judgment the citi.

WY BEES WORK IN The DARK.

Every one knows what fresh honey
is-a clear, yellow syrup, without any
trace of solid sugar in it. After strain
ing. it gradually assumes a crystal ap-
pearance-it candies, as the saying IS.
and ultimately becomes a solid mass OF
sugar. It has been suggested that this
change has been due TO Photographic
action-the same agent which alters the
molecular arrangement of the iodine OF
silver on the excited collodion plate, and
determines the formation of camphor
and iodine crystrls IN a bottle, causes
honey to assume a crystal form Mr..
Scheiber Enclosed honey in well-corked
TASKS, some of which he kept in perfect
darkness, while the others were exposed
to the light The result has been, that
portions exposed to the light soon crTs-
tallizes, while that kept in the dark re-
mains unchanged. Hence, we see why
the bees are so careful 10 obscure the
glass windows which are sometimes
placed in their hives. The existence of
the young depends on liquidity of the
saccharine food presented to them. and
If light were allowed access to this, in
