LITTLE FOLKS.
GnmrfeaE.

Summer said to the Spring, 'what wonderful
thing
1t Is to bring in so much sweetness and grace;
am sure that to You my blossoms are due,
And feel am taking your place.
" never can blush but think of your flush,
And theeyes Of the flowers at evening are wet:
there was something so fair in your innocent air
mat your going we can but regret"
You beautiful Conner said Spring to the Summer,
" lived out my life but to brighten your way;
heard the buds swelling, and could not help telling,
For knew you would see them some day.
" 1t was only my duty to bring you the besuty,
And to help;one another is lesson for all;
And perhaps you'll be willing your mission fulfll=
ing,
To leave something to brighten the Fall"

This little life-boat of earth with its
noisy crew of mankind, and all their
troubled history, will one day have van
ished-faded like cloud-speck from the
azure of the sky. What, then, is man ?
He endures but for an hour, and is
crushed before the moth. Yet in the
beginning and in the working Of faith
full man is there already Gas all faith
from the beginning gives assurance) a
something that pertains not unto this
death element of time that triumphs
over time, and is, and viii be, when
time shall be no more.

The Flying-Fish and Its foe.

One afternoon, during voyage on a
sailing vessel bound to o West Indian
port, while the ship was making some
four or five miles an hour, coryphene
was observed gamboling under the bows,
going ahead little, as if to show its
superior speed, and then returning to its
frolics. While the sailors were fastening
the harpoon to line the coryphene
sighted fying-fsh. At once it stiffened
itself; its whole body quivered as if
with excitement; its tail was agitated
from one side to another, and it started
in pursuit, bounding over the surface of
the sea, with leaps of some fifteen or
twenty feet. Although stern chase is
held to be very long one, this lasted
less than Il minute; one of the leaps
brought the corvphene right under the
terrified fying-1ish, which seemed to fall
into its enemy's jaws. The latter re-
turned to its "play- ground under the
bows, and was harpooned, brought on
board, and cut up within two minutes
fter its meal. The fyingfish was taken
sut whole, uninjured. The coryphene
is the beautifully colored fish noted for
the shifting and varieties of its tints
when expiring. It is' commonly but err
roneously called a dolphin, as in the
well-known verse: ''The dying dolphin's
changing hues." Now in regard to the
hying-fsh, I have watched them on
many voyages, and can confirm the
observers who describe its motion as a
leap, not an act of flying. It springs
out Of the water, gradually rising to the
middle of its course, then falling, de-
scribing a parabola just as an arrow
does in its flight. I have repeatedly seen
them change direction during the leap,
making a DETECTION of about half an an
gle, never more. But I cannot agree
with Mr.. Whitman, who estimates the
length of their leap or jump to be eight
hundred or even twelve hundred feet.
opine that about two hundred feet is a
pretty big jump for one Of these fishes,
and instead of forty seconds, I calculate
the time occupied in long leap at ff-
teen seconds; which gives velocity of
nine miles and fraction per hour.

The San Francisco Chronicle, in a re-
cent issue, says: ga young lady took a
car which brought her to the foot of
California street, and there took a seat
on the dummy car, which bore her to
the vicinity Of her home on Octavia
street. As she left the car and was
crossing the track upon the southern
side her foot slipped and turned and was
caught fast in the crack where the wire
cable passes. Some imperfeetion in the
roadbed had caused the narrow aperture
to expand, and the young girls narrow
foot was entrapped The engineer of
the east-bound dummy saw the obstacle
on the road in season to check his swift
approaching car, and alighted, with the
conductor and several passengers of an in
vestigating mind, who endeavored to re
lease the slender foot, but their efforts
were vain. Another car, and another,
brought up in funeral row, and constant
re-enforcements in the way of passing
pedestrians cheered and enlivened the
scene. An attempt was made to pry the
iron rails forming the cable channel
further apart, but they firmly resisted all
efforts. Everybody had a suggestion.
"Push your foot forward" "Pull it
back" Tip it Sideways" 81 lift your heel
higher" The unhappy girl was almost
fainting, but she perse7ered in her efforts
to extricate the offending member. By
this time travel on the road had virtually
ceased. The last car had long ago
passed, and was steadily approaching to
fall into line at the rear of the singular
procession. Down town passengers fret
ted and funled, Or slowly climbed the
hill in disgust. On every street cor
ner groups of waiting people berated
the laxity of street-car management.
Reporters from all the downtown dailies
were proceeding westward to learn the
meaning of the large crowd reported to
have assembled in the Western Addition.
From the scene of the accident ENJOYS
had been dispatched to the railroad
shops to bring appliances for taking up
a section of the road At this i1ncture
a tall, brawny Englishman, in the dress
of a mechanic, forced his way through
the throng, and in a CHEEKY voice,
marked by the Derbyshire dialect, asked:
"Ha' ye tried onfastenin' the young
leddy's shoe?"
Ten buttons few from as many button
holes; in the twinkling of an eye the
foot was free.

POliteness of the Heart.

There were both good and charming

Jewish mill was a SIMPLE affair when COM

'olSed in their operation. There was the
upper and neither milestone, the latter being
fixed and the other rotating upon il.
In modern times water and steam power
have been applied to mills, and the reduc-
ton Of cereals into meal and -four made con-
parati'ely easy. Granite was used for max
ing mlllstones for centuries and gave good
satisfaction, and When the cleanser for tax

ducing fine -four were added. it seemed
that the height Of perfection had been reach

which were considered great improvement
over the granite, for grinding wheat, and
sese have been in general use in all first
class mills for many years. Recently the
new process Of making -four was discovered
and that part ofthe wheat Ehich was form
erly fed to stock, now makes the best and
highest priced -four in the market
But the time has come when the famous
burr stones are superseded, and wheat is no
longer to be ground but crushed or crack

the millstones have been taken out and the
Hungarian steel rollers have taken their
places. These rollers are about thirt,
inches long and eight inches in diameter

STONE BOATs.-At no time in the wear.
are stone-boats so much in request as at this
season, when there are so many heavy things
to carry to and from the barn and field. The
harrows, plows, bags or barrels of grain.
and fertilizers, with other things that are
often taken across plowed ground, are best
conveyed on stone-boat. Every farmer
should have one or more of these low and
handy vehicles, which cost but trihe for
lumber and bolts and can be made in the
shop on rainy day.
All things considered, the kind made from
two-inch plank, saved with an upturned
end is as good as any. When the boat is
not in use, it should be placed on two tim
bers, or tipped on edge, so that the bottom
may not rest on the earth, and thus be kept
from the wet, and preserved from otherwise
rapid decay.-Ameriean Agriculturist.
