MEMOIR OF MOREY.

MOrey Is dead that still and quiet man,
Who passed through life unnotced ana unknown:
Placid and smooth his beings current ran
Beneath bushel MOrey's candle shone
Though in the busy town Of Lynn he dwelt,
Where boots and shoes for half the world made.
His life and presence there were 50 unfelt
None knew his face, his home, his politics or trade.
Calm and serene as Indian Summer time
such was the life Of our departed friend,
In youth and age. in manhood's lusty prime.
Zen from the cradle 10 his journeys end.
Aud thus, perhaps, he might have lived along
Until had sped hundred years so,
But one Of Bamums mules high fed and strong,
Flung out his heels and laid poor Morey low

LAY THEM AWAY.

Gently lay aside the picnic,
For its usefulness is Oer.
And the Winter style OF misery,
Stands and knocks upon your door.
Put away the little picnic
Till the coming OF the Spring;
Useless now the Swaying hammock
And the idle picnic swing.
Put away the picked spider,
And the cOld-presSed picnic fly,
And the decorated trousers
With their wealth OF custard pie.

sad life history closed at Scranton, Pa, last
week. young married woman named Teets
was found dead of hunger and neglect in a
wretched garret. Her babe two days old, was
found by her side. Mrs Teets hid her poverty
from the neighbors, and several days ago cut off
her hair and sold it to buy food, while her worth
less husband was carousing in a saloon. She also
sold all her clothing to sustain life and the only
article of apparel found in her apartment was an
old night dress wrapped around her child

How Fast win Trees Grow.

Some years ago we were on a farm IN
Southern Iowa where timber culture had
been carried on to greater extent than we
have ever seen it elsewhere, and in order to
test the rapidity of the growth of the differ
ent varieties planted we took the
measurement and height of a large
number, with the following result: Two
Norway spruccs settwenty years, were five
apd half Seet IN circumference, forty feet
in height and had a spread OF about twen-
ty six feet each in diameter. A black
spruce set fifteen feet was twenty-five feet
in height and proportionately large. Two
balsam frs set sixteen years were thirty
feet high. 4 European larch, set seven
teen years, was four feet in circumference,
at the base. 4 Scotch pine, set eighteen
years, was twenty-siX feet high. A hard,
pine, set seventeen years. was three feet
and eight inches in circumference and
twenty-five feet high. ARussian sprdce;s
fifteen years, was about fifteen feet in
height The red cedars and arbor vitRs
set fourteen years, averaged twenty feet
in height, while a hedge or wind break set
entirely.around an eighty acre farm, was
composed first of a row of .cedars, set
about fifteen years, which averaged fifteen
feet. next a row of Scotch pine twenty
five feet high, outside Of this a row of soft
maple ranging from twenty-five to thirty
feet in height These formed perfect Sc
curity against high winds and reduced the
temperature in the enclosure several
degrees. Hard naples, set twenty
years averaged over thirty: feet in
height One soft maple, set eighteen
years, was fifty feet in height and six feet
! in circumference at the body. black
walnut, set sixteen years, was four feet
three inches in diameter, while sycamore,
transplanted twenty years before from the
timber, was seven feet in circumference at
the base and forty. eight feet in height.
A silver leaf poplar, set twenty years,
was seven feet two inches in circumference
and thirty five feet in height, and a golden
willow that years before had been stuck
iuto the ground a switch was eleven feet
eight inches in circumference and over
forty feet high. There are many other
varieties, some of them rare specimens
but enough has been shown to prove that
even our slow growing varieties, if care
fully cultivated will, in few years, be-
come great trees. But they must be taken
care of and the cattle kept away from them
just as though they were orchard trees If
! the best results are to be secured.

What we Smoke.

To the world in general cigar is merely
a tightly rolled packet having little frag-
ments of dry leaves within, and smooth
silky leaf for its outer wrapper. When it
is burnt and the pleasant favored smoke is
Inhaled, the habitual smoker claims for. it
a soothing luxury that quiets the irritable
nervous organism, relieves weariness and
entices repose. Science, scouting 50 super
fetal a description, examines tirsl the
smokes, second the leaf, third the. ash. In
the smoke Is discovered water IN vaporous
state, SCOT Cfree carbon), carbonic acid and
Carbonic oxide, acd vaporous substance
condcnsable into oily nicotine. These are
the general divisions, which chemists have
further split up, and in so doing have fouCd
acetic, fornic, butyric, valerie, and propi-
onic acids, prussic acid. crcosote, carbolic
acid, ammonia, sulphuretted hydrogen, py-
ridine, viridine, picoline. lutidine, collodine,
parvoline, corodine and rubidene. = These
last are series of oily bases belonging TO
the homologues of analine, first discovered
in coal tar. Applying chemical tests TO the
leaves, other chemists have found. nicotia,
tobacco camphor or nicotianue (about
which not much is known, a'bitter attract
I've matter, gum, chlorophyll, malate ot
lime, sundry albumnoids, malic acid;
woody fibre, and various salts The feath-
erly white ash, which in its cohesion and
wniteness is indicative of the good cigar,
yields potash, soda, magnesia, lime, phos-
phoric acid, sulphuric acid, silica and chic
rine. The ingredients extractible from a
poor and cheap cigar would be fearful and
wonderful to contemplate. Here is list
from a parliamentary report on adultera-
tions in tobacco. Sugar, alum, lime, flour
or meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpetre, tuller's
earth, starch, malt commings' Chromate. of
lead, peat moss, molasses, burdock leaves,
common salt, endive leaves, lampblack,
gum, red dye, black dye composed Of
vegetable red and licorice, scraps of news
paper, cinnamon stick, cabbage leaves, and
straw brown paper.

Starting n Graveyard.

Adolph Sutro tells the following tale IN
relation to his starting graveyard in Sutro.
Zone labors under all sorts of difficulties
dealing with men. Ii seems ridiculous,
but the most difficult thing we had TO do
was to start graveyard. 1t took some
three years to start it. Whenever man
got killed, or died, the men would get up a
big funeral and go off to Virginia. City,
or some other place, to bury the man. All
work had to be stopped for one or two
shifts They would each lose their 81 for
wages: would pay $500 or $400 more for
teams, and some would drink SO freely as
to be unfit for work the following day.
was determined to put a stop to that. So
| said TO the men: why can we not have
a graveyard of our own, and bury our men
here?' ! had grave dug for the next man
that died. The dead mans friends came
and said they would not have the man
buried there. | asked them why. They
said that it would be too lonely for the
poor fellow That. seems ridiculous, but
it is a fact. l did not wish to have any
trouble over the matter, and so let them
bury the man where they chose. Every
time a man died we had just the same trou-
BILE again. AT last two miners got killed
who had not paid their fees to the Miner 9
Union, and had been discarded. They had
no friends there to object, and so we hur-
ried them there, and thus were able at last
to start own graveyard.
