LoEGFgLLoRs LAST POEM.

Mr.. Longfellow's last poem, the
proof slip of which was corrected by
him only a few days before his death
appear in the May number of the
Atlantic Monthly, just issued. The
poem has the title, "Mad River in
the White Mountains" and it gives
a dialogue between traveller and q
mountain stream, The pensive way
farer desires to know of the stream
"why all this fret and worry?" and
the river tells him its story. After
describing its birth as a "brooklet
nameless and unknown" it details
its experience ofthe world, and thus
concludes:
heard the distant ocean call,
Imploring and entreatIng,
Drawn onward, Ger this rocky wall
plunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer to the greeting.
AID now, besst with many lis,
A toilsone life follow:
Compelled 10 carry from the hills
These logs 70 the impatient mills
Below there in the hollow.
Yet someihing ever cheers and charms
The rndeness Of my labors;
Daily water with these arms
The cattle Of hundred farms,
And have the birds for neighbors.
Men call me mad, and wen they may,
When fun Of rage and trouble,
I burst my banks % sand and clay,
And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like withered reeds or ssubble
Nov 90 and write thy little rhyme,
As of thine own creating.
Thou seest the day Is past It's prime;
can no longer waste my time,
The mills are tired of whiting.

What Shall We Eat.

This is an important question in these
times of high prices. DIR. Hall, in his
Journal Of HedIth-a good authority by
the way-says the cheapest articles of
food at the present prices are bread
especially corn meal !-butter, mOlasses,
beans and rice. He shows that %
cents'wOrth of flour at cents per
pound contains as much nOurishment
as 1926 worth of roast beef at % cents
per pound, and that Il pint of white
beans, costing seven cents, has the
same amount of nutrimcnt as three and
a-half pounds of beef at % cents per
pound; or, in other words, that the
roast-beef diet is twelve times as en-
pensive as the beans. Furthermore, a
pound of Indian meal will go as far as
a pound Of fine flour, costing nearly
twice as much. Here are some of the
common articles of food, showing the
amount of nutriment contained and
time required for digestion;

Mr.. Barnum has adopted a novel
protection against burglars at his
Bridgeport home. In addition to a
liberal supply of the ordinary means of
security he has had placed on the out
side of the house several large gongs,
which are artificially concealed among
the exterior ornamentation. TO these
gongs are attached stout ropes which
pass into various bedrooms upstairs
and down, so that any inmate hearing a
suspicious sound can arouse the whole
nelghborhOod without leaving his own
apartment.

Little Georgle had been sick, and
was consequently placed upon a close
diet. Feeling some better he begged
for just one piece of cake. "DOes your
head ache?" asked his mother. "No.
mamma" Georgia replied eagerly, "not
one mite" " Do you feel bad at your
stomach?" No, l feels first rate
"Well, then," said his mother, "I guess
you had better not have any," Fancy
Georges feelings and wonder what
would have been the maternal verdict
had his head ached and his stomach
felt bad.-Boston Transcript.

According to the above tables cucum-
bers are of very little value, and apples,
cabbage, turnips, and even potatoes at
present prices. are expensive eating.
Some vegetables and fruits should how
ever, enter into the family consump-
ton, if only for sanitary reasons.
Among those which contain the most
saccharine matter, sweet potatoes, pars-
nips, beets and carrots are the most
nourishing. Roast pork, besides being
an expensive dish, requires too lengthy

A wise economy will probably be
practised by Western farmers in respect
to their corn crop this Fall. Instead of
getting rid of it all at the low prices
offered while the supply is abundant,
they will store a quantity as n reserve
in case of poor crop next year. In
1880 the farmers cleaned out their corn
crops at 25 cents bushel. Last
Winter because of the drought of 1881,
they had to pay from fifty to seventy
five cents bushel for the same corn
for food for their cattle. There is a
prospect that this years crop will be so
large that it will be more profitable to
hold q part of it.

MATTE AND THE DUST-PAN.

I've sung my love in many a rhyme:
I've wound her life in many a story
What better worth hath poets time
Than adding to his mistress glory?
I've sung her dainty morning dTess
I've sung the needle in her hand;
I've written verses to her curls,
And strewn them broadcast DER the land.
But there's one weapon she can WELD.
One before which l ever yield
To her it is both sword and shield
Her dainty little dust-pan.
All! dust's thing you might suppose
That never could be made romantic,
And placed before the poets nose,
Would have effect to drive him frantic.
But poets still must eat and drink.
However far they like to roam;
All! Dantes self had smiled, think,
To find his Beatrice at home
cottage in Italian land,
A jolly dinner neatly planned,
And in his lovely lady's hand
\ dainty little dust-pan.
All! Matte knows the poet soul
Is not sustained by fairy dishes
At breakfast time it wants roll,
And has some fixed ideas on fishes:
That ecstacies are very well,
But cleanliness must have a place;
That Heavenly raptures as they swell
Will not support our fallen race.
And so at morn she comes in sight.
Armed with the symbol of her might
To put my troubled room TO right
Her dainty little dust-pan

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
SOLIDIFYING PETROLEUM.


Ii was lately announced that o German in
Russia, Herr Dittmar, had found way OF SOL
ldnylng petroleum. which would be Of great
commercial advantage. The method, says
Nature, consists in heating petroleum III still
with or at most 9 per cent OF soap. AT first
there Is great deal of foam and at lOO' me
whole mass suddenly becomes like wax. FOR
hquefaction atterward vinegar IS used. -
far as vet appears, the Invention Is not apple
able to raw naphtha.
A lively discussion on the subject recently
took place at the Russian Technical Society III
st. Petersburg. and some objections raised oy
Professor Wilchinsli were not, 1t Is SAID, ade-
quately met by the inventor. IL was urged, lot
instance, that the sOlidifyipg did not wholly 90
away with leakage. When piece Of the sohd
petroleum il lald on blntting-paper, the AFTER
absorbs some Of the petroleum, and the sohd
niece loses weight. The same occurs with
wood. and the proposed wooden cases, satu-
rated during transport, might give on vapOrs
which, mixing with air. would form explosive
mixtures. If cases impermeable by petroleum
were used instead the advantage OF the cheaper
chests would fall away. Further, the cOnsump-
tiOn Of soap mot very cheap materlal) Is CON
siderable; thus 1905 900 cwt. of petroleum
would take 1000 cwt. of soap. The fatty
matter need not indce1 be- lost, but 1t would
be lost for the naphtha district, as The carriage
back.would not pay. Further. the solid petro-
leum could not be brought INTO the holses,
but would require large central hquelylng
works whence the liquid would be carried IN
vessels. Herr Dittmar's figures, showing
great advantage in the cost OF transport Of
solid petroleum, were vigorously debated, and
It was pointed ont that the unloading OF the
chests was dsadvantageOus compared with the
SIuDle DumDlug from tanks

EARTHOTAKEs IN TuE EAST.

The latest information from the East shows
the existence of widespread seismic disturb
ance OF an unusual kind. Details Of dcstruc-
tive earthquake in the Chinese province Of
Kauslh have been received. At one place
1Kanchou) forty-two persons were killed and
tweuty-scvcn injured One hundred houses
also were destroyed, and l2O animals killed.
At ChiebichOu the damage was much greater !;
347 persons were either killed or injured, and
800 animals killed. As frequently occurs on
these occasions, the disturbance was followed
by an inundatiOn which cause such destruction
that the Emperor has been petltoued 20 remit
all taxes and dispense charity. From the
Philippine Islands news has come Of a violent
eruption Of the volcano Of May on, which has
ruined many cOcoanut plantation, and caused
much alarm. The whole island of CeylOn has
also been visited by an earthquake, which, how
ever, did little damage.

FIELD MOE IN FRANCE.

II would appear from a letter by NJ. Chavez
Leroy to a French journal, that the teld-mouse
has of late years become a serious plague III
various parts OF France. Last year. at Cler-
mont in Aisne, a department northeast OF
Paris. the evil became so great that the
farmers met and resolved on measures OF pols-
onng. at common expense throughout the
region. The demand for brochure NJ. Leroy
published. on feld-mice and how 10 destroy
them proved how widespread were the raw
ages OF this little quadruped, which is remark
ably prolific. In the southern departments,
where the vine has disappeared, the field mice
have multiplied enormously. The Deaplace
entupOiy is a simple instrument for asphyXat-
ing tied-mice with sulphur0us fumes, and has
found considerable acceptance. 1t consists OF
two tubes, one sliding into the other, and the
inner one having NJ its poSterl0r end small
fan blower driven by hand by means Of cord
and pulley; this forces air through the tube.
The outer tube has a nozzle attached and
commitment containing sulphurized rags,
which are ignitcd. The nozzle Is thrust into
the holes made by the iield-mce, and the tunes
rapidly kill them in the galleries. In order to
smoke only holes that are inhabited, all holes
are closed with tallOw or the like the day be-
fore operating and the holes newly-formed
next morning Indicate the places occupied.
