The Nativity.

Where art thou lingering, earth-eratraeiHg
wire?
Men say that at swart Mammon's os-ll, thou
Swifter than thought, with thy Promethean fire
Around the world TO play winged Mercury s
part:
'T'wixt dawn and sunset oft times half score
OF messages from batteries hot take,
But not line from silent Baltimore
Thou bringest me to-day my thirst TO slake
Thou hast no pity in thine iron heart.
Within darkened room lies one love.
Ten times within the hour my pulse win start,
But thou art silent as the STARS above.
But no come hitner. lad What dost thou sSy?--
Now all raY fears like bats, have flown away,
And noontide brightness everywhere see.
The sweet May-dower Elizabeth-irst bride
OF Enderby, ,ioye-crowDcd-hsth Just become
mother, gliding as the angels glide
From out the stiffness of curtained room,
Up 10 the highest pinnacle of joy
Out of thick darkness into glory bore
Thrilling with rapture that hath no alloy,
And beautiful as opal-tinted morn.
On mystery profoundi Oh miracle sublime
Of loves omnfpotent, creative power!
The past, the present and al future time
Exist this i'm nperishable hour.
The rise and fail of empires, and the doom
OF ungenerste souls by false lights led,
Whence heroes spring, by angels heraIueu.
Beat, drumsl blow, bugles! brazen cymbals,
sounGl
Ye verdant fields broad rivers, waving trees,
And many tinted flowers, glory crowned,
Lift up your heads and clap your bands, Oh
fioodsl
Dance, sunbeams, dance, above the ripenins
corul
Rejoice, Oh birds, and dcrimson-penciled buds -
"a man child unto us this day is born.

Pntatnns and Annlea.

The potatoes of this years crop are
of unusually fine quality and size. The
| crop is everywhere better than last
year, except in New York. The crop
of Kentucky Ohio and Michigan is
larger than that of 1880, Illinois has
nearly double the crop of last year,
Iowa has nearly ten times the quantity
she had last year, and nearly double
the acreage of two years ago. The cul-
ture of the potato is increasing rapidly
IN that State. They are selling there
this season at fifteen cents bushel.
Cincinnati handles 1000 car loads of
the root every season, chiefly for the
Southern market, supplying Atlanta.
Mobile. Nashville and, largely, Louis
vile, besides many other Southern and
Southwestern points. Chicago COM
petes with Cincinnati for the same
trade, but the competition is not close.
The report has been circulated that
apples are a short crop. The fact is
that this is good year for this fruit,
especially in the West. Reports of big
crops come in from Illinois, Kansas,
Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia
In the latter State the crop is immense.
The same report comes from New Jer-
sey and Maine. Kansas is quite an ap-
pie country, and increases in impor-
tance to dealers in the fruit every year.
It will one day be as famous as any of
the Eastern applefelds.
There was never larger crop in
New York and better apples. The
price, however. is likely to advance for
the reason that the early apples of this
year do not keep.

Brigham's Widow.

They say that Brigham Young's grave
is looking as bare and desolate as a
boulevard now. At first, while her
grief was fresh, his widow used to
march out there five abreast, and Just
naturally deluge the grave with scald-
ing tears, and at that time the green
grass grew luxuriantly, and the pig
weed waved in the soft summer air; but
as she learned to control her emotions
the humidity of the atmosphere disap-
peared, and grief's grand irrigation fail
ed to give down.
We should learn from this that the
man who hatters himself that in marry
ing a whole precinct during life he is
piling up for the future large invoice
of ungovernable woe is liable to get
left. The prophets tomb looks to-day
like deserted buffalo wallow, while
his widow has dried her tears and is
trying to make mash on the Utah
Commission. Such is life in the Far
West, and such the fitting resting-place
of red-headed old galvanized prophet
who marries squint-eyed fly-up-the-
creek, and afterward gets special rev.
elaiion requiring him to marry female
mass meeting. Let US be thankful for
what we have, instead of yearning for a
great wealth of wife. Then the life in
surance will not be scattered so. and
our friends will be spared the humiliat-
ing spectacle of bereft and sorrowino
herd of widow, turne loosed by the
cold hand of Death to monkey DER our
tomb.-LGranate Boomerang.

Molecular Force,

The Indianapolis NeDs reporter OF
''uneonsidered trifes'' heard singular
story the other day of the power of those
quiet unnotieed forces of nature, called
molecular" of which he has occasion
ally spoken in his character of vagrant
semi-naturalist, hunting out the queer
features of weeds and trees and bugs
A large iron casting, 81 feet by Ii was
made in foundry, in Covington, KY,
and an ''air hole" about as large as a
small wheat straw, ran through it from
the upper to the lower side, ending in a
cavity not larger than hazel nut. One
day this little hole was filled with wet
snow and drizzle. and at night the semi
liquid contents froze hard, and the ex-
pansion into crystal broke the huge
mass of iron in two as completely and
smoothly as if it had been cut with a
cold-chisel.

The BLACK Veil.n

The eccentric doings of Father" Ig-
natius, an ultra-Ritualist of the English
Church, have made him notorious for
many years. The London Truth thus
describes one of his latest official acts:
IAN extraordinary scene was witnessed
at Llanthony Abbey recently, when
Father Ignatius admitted novice to the
mysteries of the Black Veil Opposite
the principal shrine was a black funeral
bier, covered with velvet pail, with
white cross and with huge candle-stick
at each corner. The novice knelt by its
side. After mass and a sermon, the
Father Abbot sat down in his chair by
the altar. arrayed in gorgeous robe,
embroidered with angels and saints,
with ricbly-jewelled mitre on his shay
en- head, and a crosier in his hand
The nuns in their grated gallery sang
chant, while the father cut off the hair
of the novice; two acolytes holding q
towel to receive it. Then she was clad
in her nuns robes, with a crimson veil
and a wreath of flowers, and, after a
variety OF intricate ceremonies, she was
placed on a throne-like chair before the
altar, and the whole of the monks, nuns,
sisters and acolytes themselves before
her, and as they kissed the hem of her
garment she placed her hands on their
heads. After the procession she was
laid on the bier and covered with pail,
and the abbot and acolytes came for
ward in magpie-like costume of black
and white, the father with a high,
caul oap-like linen mitre on his head
Then the funeral service was chanted.
mufied bell sounded, and the monks
bore away bier and nun behind the graf
ings."

The Discovery Of Diamonds in Brazil.

Often, down to 1929, the gold hum
ters had noticed in the bottoms of the
bowls in which they washed the river
sands, little bright crystals to which
they attached no value. The brilliancy
of these crystals, their hardness and
their regular form, as if shaped by the
hand, had indeed attracted the atten-
ton of the miners, and many had saved
them to use as counters in play; but
gold alone had any value in the eyes of
these adventures. At this epoch, ac-
cording to the least uncertain tradition,
q monk, who had taken part in the
search for diamonds in India, recognize
ed the nature of these counters. He
told his discovery to a certain Bernardo
ola Fonseca Lobo, who made it known
in his name to the Portuguese Govern
ment. The King Immediately took pos
session of all the lands where the pres
ence of diamonds had been recognized
and where it could be suspected.
bernardo received as his reward the
title of royal notary and the command
of the militia of the most important CITY
of the region. The name. of the monk
was forgotten. | do not believe that
the name of either could have been pop
ular at Minas, for their discovery, which
threw hundreds of millions into the
treasury of the Kings of Portugal, was
the origin of one OF The most despotic
rules that any country ever had to en-
dure.
The first diamonds were found in the
sands of the brooks, and these sands, or
TO use the Portuguese expression, which
has passed into nearly all languages,
cascalhos, still constitute the beds that
are principally worked. But beds of an
entirely different nature, situated, like
mines Of metals, in the midst Of the
strata, and of corresponding depth,
have been brought to notice in later
years.-Popular Science Monthly.

How Candies Ara Made,

Candies are so often adulterated that
it is not easy to obtain permission to
visit factory where they are made.
The other day, however, q correspond
ent obtained permission to visit one of
them, and some of their mysteries were
explained to him. Children often Won
der how the cream gets inside its choco-
late coating. This is the process. A
large number of wooden trays. an inch
or two in depth, are placed on a table
and filled with corn-starch. impress
sions are then made in the starch by
brass mold. The hollow spaces left by
the mold are then filed with paste of
starch and sugar, or cream and sugar,
and the trays are put in drying-room
until the paste is hard. The white balls
of sweet stuff are next dipped in a pan
of melted chocolate and sugar, from
which they emerge with the familiar
rich brown coat which so enticeS the
appetites of the young people.
Jordan almonds are made as follows:
The almonds are toasted, and then
thrown into great steam-heated cop
per pan, the revolutions of which keep
them rolling over and over. Some boil
ing syrup is poured ever them, and the
motion of the pan distributes it equally
over all of them.
More syrup is added until the coating
is of the desired thickness. and then
cold air is blown in upon them, leaving
them hard and white. a thinner syrup
being used at last to give them smooth
surface.
Chocolate duchesses are made by a
crystallizing process. a cupful of cream
is added 20 pan of boiling syrup, and
the mixture is poured into such corn
starch molGs as are used in making
chocolate creams. As it cools. the SUI
gar separates in crystals from the cream,
retaining the latter in their sweet husk
Common stick-candy is made by
what is known as the pulling process.
The requisite quantities of sugar and
water are boiled for twenty-five or thir-
ty minutes-until they are done to a
turn, as a housewife would say-and
then the bubbling mass of golden syrup
is poured upon marble slab, which
has been thickly buttered to prevent
sickness. Any flavor can be added to
it, and if left upon the slab, it would
make clear candy. If it is to be pulled
candy, it is kneaded like dough until it
becomes cool, and deft workman then
throws it over hook, pulling it to the
right and left until it looks like huge
rope. The mass is then placed in a
machine through which it passes, COM
ing out in smooth, well-rounded sticks.

The Golden Paradise of New Mexico,

A story, about which there is a fas-
cination it is impossible to resist when
you hear men tell it, says the Las Cru
sas Republican, is that of the s'Home of
Gold" Somewhere in southwestern
New Mexico, in the Sierra Madre, it is
said there is a wonderful valley. Small,
inclosed in high, rocky walls, and ac-
cessible only by secret passage, which
is known to but few, is this extraordi-
nary place. 1t is about ten acres in ex-
tent, has running through it a stream
which waters it thoroughly, and makes
it perfect paradise, with its exquisite
flowers and beautiful trees. In it are
thousands of birds of the most beautiful
plumage. Running across it is a ledge
of pure gold about thirty feet wide,
which glistens in the sunlight like q
great golden belt. The stream crosses
this ledge, and, as it runs, murmurs
around blocks of yellow metal as others
do around pebbles. The ledge of gold
is supposed to be solid gold, and to run
down into the center of the earth. The
legend is of Indian origin, and around
it clusters number of Indian stories.
in which the name of the ill-fated Mon
tezuma occurs frequently. The descend
ants OF the Aztecs believe firmly that
the day will come when Montezuma
will return and free them from the de-
scendants of the Conquestodores. They
believe that the money necessary for
this work will be taken from the Med
re d'Oro.

The destruction of Pennsylvania
forests is proceeding at an enormous

for tanning purposes. and that 2,O0O,-
600 feet of hemlock lumber have been
placed upon the market. This whole

There is church e Michigan which
has been struck by lightning a dozen
times, and now whenever the preacher
shows signs of getting long-winded and
passing from his ''seventhly" to his
''eighthly," the organist slyly initiates
the sound of approaching thunder on
the pedals. The way that preacher dives
into the conclusion and rushes through
it and starts the doxology is 9. caution.
The congregation would not part with
that organist for million dollars.
