The Baby's Hand.

Mrs. Arnold was showing friend
through her pretty new house which
was undergoing a second and final coat
of inside paint, and gave promise OF
being 1sthetically beautiful, as the
decorative fervor of the age demanded,
the color being q delicate shell pink
like the inside of rose
'1sn't it lovely P" said Mrs.. Arnold,
admiringly, to her friend. "You see
this is an east room, and so it is to have
the tints of the morning. Some might
think it too delicate for everyday use,
but l shall make that very delicacy q
means of education. 1 have taught
baby already that she cannot touch it,.
Come here, dimple"-to the little one
toddling behind her. ''Baby won't
touch the pretty paint"
"Baby WON'T" cooed the little one,
in its sweet idiom, and giving it q kiss
and admiring caress, the young mother
pointed out to her friend the beauty of
the window embrasure and tho view it
commanded.
IL shall sit here summer afternoons
with baby. Won't it be lovelyp Lace
curtains within and green vines without
II will be picture and poem both"
And they strolled on, leaving the
two-year old baby looking with far
seeing eyes through the pretty window,
and il was not the rosy tint of the paint,
nor the flush of childhood that spread
slowly over the little face, and sent q
tired little head to seek in vain for rest
on its mothers bosom. All thought of
the tributaries of beauty or art passed
from the mind of the young mother rs
she saw her darling's fever-hushed
face, and she locked the beautiful east
room and left it to the gloom and soli-
tude until the crisis was passed
"And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from a rose, lay still,
Never to snatch ut the sunshine
That cropt to the shrouded sill"
Yes it came to that! and an awful
emptiness of all life, and then hard,
rebellious acquiescence in the decree of
fate, and one bright day the mother
went into the pretty east room, and
with her friend lived over that day
when they had last stood there, and
looked with exceeding bitterness on the
tinted color that was to have made all
her summer bright. and what could
brighten it nowp
AL, ue' HOW StIduSc Iudb WHcn tuc
voice of redeeming love says: "My
peace give unto YOU" we will have
none of it. If Mrs. Arnold had read
on the walls in letters Of light, "Let
not your heart be troubled" she would
never have needed, and when her
friend pointing through the window to
the blue sky beyond said tenderly,
trustingly. ''she is SAFE" the mother
cast down her heavy tcar-dimmed eyes,
and with cry of joy kissed again and
again one single blemish in the smooth
painting of the window sill. What was
itp Only the dear dead hand of her
baby imprinted there--the little hand,
which had been laid one moment on
the wet paint that had nodded it into
this perfect shape, and that now SEEM
ed to point and beckon the way she had
gone; a baby's sinless hand that would
some day be reached out to welcome
her
with the light of Heaven thereon"

A New Source Of Glucose.

A company has been formed to
manufacture glucose from cassava, the
source Of tapioca. AS at present man.
ufactured from corn, the average yield
of corn being taken at thirty.five
bushels to the acre, the glucose product
is about 1000 pounds to the acre. The
yield from cassava is reckoned to be
fully twenty times as great. The COM
pany's expectation will doubtless bear
considerable pairing down. They say
that well-authenticated evidence is at
hand 10 the fact that twenty tons OF
cassava to the acre is no unusual crop
in Florida. This, at fifty-six pounds
to the bushel, would give q yield Of
over 700 bushels per acre, or, at the
rate of thirty pounds Of glucose per
bushel, would produce over 21,00c
pounds OF glucose per acre. A com.
parison of the yield of glucose from
corn and cassava shows that 1000 acre.
of corn yields about 500 tons of glucose;
1000 acres of cassava yields about TO-.
900 tons Of glucose. Scientific Amer
