While Mr.. David Davis was dining one
day at Wormley's with some friends among
whom was the slim Mr.. Evarts the CONVEX
sation drifted to athletic sports and foot-races.
Mr.. Evarts with view to one of his sarcastic
.iests turned to the great trunk alongside Of
him, from which himself may be supposed to
have been whitfield off as silver, and sug-
gested that such sports were something en-
tirely ont of his line.
"Well, Evarts," replied Judge Davis, per

HOME.

By the soft, green light in the woody glade,
On the banks of moss where thy childhood played
BY the household tree through which thine eye
First looked in love to the summer sky,
BY the dewy CLEAN, by the very breath
OF the primrose tufts in the grass beneath
Upon thy heart there is laid spell,
Holy and precious-oh! guard it well!
BY the sleepy ripple of the stream,
Which hath lulld thee into many dream,
BY the shiver of the ivy leaves,
To the wind of morn at thy easement caves,
By the bees deep murmur in the lines,
BY the music of the Sabbath chimes,
BY every sound of thy native shade,
Stronger and dearer the spell is made.
BY the gathering round the winter hearth,
When twilight calrd unto household mirth,
BY the fairy tale or the legend old,
In that ring of happy faces told,
BY the quiet hour when hearts unite, ,
In the parting prayer and the kind 'good-nlght.
BY the smiling eye and the loving tone
Over thy life has the spell been thrown.
And bless that gift lit hath gentle might
guardian power and guiding light,
IT hath led the freeman forth to stand,
In the mountain battles of his land,
II hath brought the wanderer oer the seas
TO die on the hills of his own fresh breeze,
And back to the gates of his fathers hail
1t hath led the weeping prodigal.
Yes? when thy heart in its pride, would stray
From the pure first loves of its youth away
When the sullying breath of the world would come
Ger the flowers it brought from its childhood
home
Think thou again of the woody glade,
And the sound by the rusting ivy made,
Think thou of the tree at thy fathers door,
And the kindly spell shall have power once more

About the time that Daniel Drew began
his Wall street career he was up in the cOun-
try one time to visit some friends, and two
farmers called upon him to decide case.
One had sold the other five bushels of wheat,
and proposed to measure it in a half bushel
ard sweep the top of the measure with a
stick. The other objected, and Uncle Daniel
was asked to decide.
We'll, legally speaking bushel is only a
bushel," he answered.
"And can the measure be swept off ?"
II think it can.'

Gentlemen. that is point cannot now

that I should sweep the measure with the

pigs in his neighbors corn, Pm afraid /

ROLLER SKATING.
An Essay on its Peculiarities and
Powers.
bill Nye. |

The roller skate is wayward little
quadruped. 1t is as frolicsome and as
innocent as lamb, but, for interfering
with onts upright altitude in the commune
ty, it is, perhaps, the best machine that has
appeared in Salt Lake City.
Ones first feeling on standing on pair OF
roller skates is an uncomfortable tendency
to come from together. One foot may start
out towards Idaho while the other as
promptly strikes out for Arizona. The legs
do not stand by each other as legs related
by blood should do, but each shows dis
position to set up in business alone and
leave you to take care of yourself as best
you may. The awkwardness of this arrange
ment is apparent. While they are setting
up independently, there is nothing for you
to do but to sit down and await future
developments. And you have to sit down,
TOO, without having made any previous pre-
paration for it, and without having devoted
as much thought to it as you might have
have done had you been. consulted in the
matter.
One of the most noticeable things at a
skating rink is the strong attraction be-
tween the human body and the floor of the
rink. If the human body had been coming
through space for days and days at the rate
of million miles a second, without stop
ping at eating stations, and not excepting
Sundays, when it strikes the floor, we could
understand why it strikes with so much
violence. AS it is, however, the thing is in
explicable.
There are different kinds OF falls in vogue
at the rink. There are the rear falls, and
front falls, the Cardinal Wolsey fall, the fall
one across the other, three in a pile, and
SO on. There are some of the falls that
would like to be excused from describing The
rear fall is the favorite. 1t is more frequently
utilized than any other. There are two posi-
tions in skating, the perpendicular and the
horizontal Advanced skaters prefer the per-
pendicular, while others affect the hOri-
Zontal.
Skates are no respecters of persons. They
will lay out minister of the gospel or the
Mayor of the city as readily as they will
short-coated, one-suspendered boy or gid
dy girl.
When one OF a mans feet start for Ne
vada, and the other for Colorado, that does
not separate him from the floor or break up
his fun. Other portions of his body will
take the place his feet have just vacated,
with promptness that is surprising And
he will find that the fun has just begun-for
the people looking on.
The equipment for the rink is pair of
skates, cushion and a bottle of liniment.

The sabbath day was ended in village by the sea
The uttered benediction touched the people ten.
derly,
And they rose to face the sunset in the glowing,
lighted west
And then hastened to their dwellings for Gods
blessed boon OF rest.
And they looked across the waters, and storm
raging there,
A fierce spirit moved above them-a wild spirit of
the air;
And it lashed, and shook, and tore them, till they
Numbered, groaned, and doomed,
And alas! for any vessel in their yawning gulfs
cntombed.
Very anxious were the people Oh that rocky coast
of Wales,
Lest the dawn of coming morrows should be tell
ing awful tales
When the sea had spent its passion, and should
east upon the shore
Bits of wreck aud swollen victims, as it had done
heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her, a brave
woman strained her eyes,
Aud she along the pillows a large vessel fall
and rise;
Oh it did not need prophet to tell what the end
For no ship could ride in safety near the shore
such sea.
Then plying people hurried from their homes and
thrOnged the beach.
Oh. for power to cross the water and the pershirg
to reach!
Helpless hands were wrung with sorrow, tender
hearts grew cold with dread,
And the ship, urged by the tempest, to the fatal
rock shore sped.
she has parted in the middle! Oh, the half of her
gees down!
God have mercy! Is heaven far to seek for those
who drown? ?'
Lo, when next the white shocked faces looked
with terror on the sea.
Only one last clinging figure on the spar was
to be.
Near the trembling watchers came the wreck tossed
by the wave,
And the man still clung and foated, though 10
power earth could save,
Gould send him short message" here's a
trumpet. Shout away'
Twas the preachers hand that took 1t, and he
wondered what to say.
And memory of his sermon-firstly-s secondly!
All, no!
There was but one thing utter in that awful hour
SO he shouted through the trumpet, Look to
Jesus. Can your hear"
And "Ay ay, sirr' rang the answer DER the waters
loud and clear.
Then they listened. He is singing, Jesus, lover
of my soul'
And the winds brought back the echo, While the
nearer waters roll -
Strange indeed it to hear him, Till the storm
of life is past"
Singing bravely from the waters, "Oh, receive my
soul at last ~
He could have no other refuge. Hangs my help
less soul on Thee;
Leave ah, leave me not-'the singer dropped at
last into the sea-
And then the Watchers looking homeward, though
their eyes with tears made dim,
Said, He passed to be with Jesus In the singing of
that hymn"

THE PRESS.

Upon the primal shores of TiuTe,
Where bird and mammal first saw hght,
The gods inscouncil found for power
A storage in the giants might.
Then Hercules in triumph roamed,
And mastodon and mammoth grew;
Then ponderous strength was found in flesh,
And force no other measure knew.
Swept on the tidal wave of Time,
Past Roman arms and walls of stone;
Swept on the age of intellect,
Until the ress in power shone.
Now flesh, nor arms, nor cannon's roar,
Nor governments with armed hosts,
Explosives or electric force,
Command the power of which it boasts.
The giants of these days are men

Some Large Bells.

In making bells loudness rather than
pitch is the object, as the sound can be con-
veyed to much further extent. This ac-
counts for the enormous weight of some of
the largest bells. ST. Pauls, London, weighs
10000 pounds, and the bell at Antwerp,
10000 pounds; Oxford, 1900 pounds
Mechlin, 10000 pounds; Bruges, $4,000
pounds York, 240OO pounds; Cologne, 25,-
600 pounds; Montreal, 10000 pounds; Ell
flrt, 10000 pounds; big Ben" at the House
of Parliament, 81 900 pounds; Sens, 34,O00 /;
Vienna, 10000 pounds; Novgorod. $1,000
pounds Pekin, $4,000 pounds; Moscow,
141 900 pounds. But as yet the greatest
bell ever known is another famous Moscow
hell. which was never hung. 1t was cast by
the order of Empress Anne in 1858. 1t lies
broken on the ground, and is estimated to
weigh 442,s72 pounds. It is nineteen feet

A Fortune for q Calf.

Some of the recent cattle sales made
terest which our rich men are taking in
breeding Jeasey cattle to such perfection
that the prices of great mixers are larger
than those paid for race horses. Two weeks
ago two months old Jersey calf was sold
at Ramseys, New Jersey, for $4,000. Euro
tas, the cow which makes her own presents
Of that kind, is Jersey COW from whose
milk 778 pounds of butter were made in one
year, whereas 200 pounds is considered a
fair average. The millionaires who have
gone into raising fancy stock have carried
out experiments which no ordinary farmer
could undertake, on account of the expense.
One man has experimental in making but
ter, another in ensilage, which, by the way,
j, proving valuable discovery another in
raising cream, etc.
At John Holly's farm, near Plainfeld, N.
j., is the most perfect milk room in the
country. Everyone who knows anything
about dairy is aware that the temperature
in a milk room must not vary much from $50
The great difficulty is to keep it there. Hol-
ly's milk room is a huge ice chest without
the ice. The air which passes through it
come from 800 feet away through an earth
drain five feet under ground. At the end
where the air enters a pipe Is feet high is
sarmounted by hood with its opening al
ways toward the breeze. The air passes into
this pipe, goes through three hundred feet of
earth, and coffies out of a register in the bot
tom of the milk room. Upon summer day,
when there is not breath moving to force
air through the pipe, an oil stove is placed in
the chimney of the milk room and suction
current thus obtained. This arrangement
has now been in use a year and half, and
summer or winter the temperature never
varies three degrees. Whether a January
blizzard is blowing outside or the thermome
ter marks 1902 in the shade, the tempera-
ture in the milk room is always from $40
to- 800.
1t occurs to every person who sees this ar
rangement that some such device might be
effective for cooling houses in summer and
warming them in winter. The air in going
through the earth takes its temperature.
