Funny Thing in Oil,

The early days OF oil production were
attended by many curious incidents,

(Pa) Exchange. one Of the Queercst

well down to the third sand, but found
nothing but water, and three days con

well in disgust. The next day a ncighbor

lease. came over 10 see the disguised well
owner, and Informed him, with much
excitement. that since the pumping of
water had ceased at his well great trouble
had resulted at the other well, which had
yielded - barrels OF oil day as long as
the water was being pumped, but upon
the stopping of the water pumping had
filled up with water and produced no
more oil. The result was that the man
who owned the producing well hired the
less fortunate operator to keep his pump
going, t0r which he paid him $40 week.
The producing well was thus restored to
its former condition, and things worked
satisfactorily for six months, when sud

the Songs That Are Not Sung.

BY JOHN BOYLE 0'REILLl.
DO not praise: word is payment more than
meet for what is done.
Who shall paint the notes glad raimcnt float
ing in the molten SUM-
Nay. nor smile: for blind is eyesight. ears NAV
hear not, lips are dumb
From the silence, from the twilight, wordless,
but complete they come.
Songs were born before the singer; like white
souls that wait for birth,
They abide the chosen bringer of their melody
to earth.
Deep the pain of our demerit; strings so rude
or rudey strung.
Dull to every pleading spirit seeking speech,
but sent un>ung.
Round our hearts with gentle breathing still the
paintiVe silence plays,
But we brush away its wreathing, filled with
cares of common days.
Ever thinking of the morrow. burdened down
with needs and creed>,
Once or twice. mayhap. in sorrow. we may hear
the song that pleads.
once or twice, a dreaming poet sees the beauty
as il flies
But his y>ion,-who shall know it: Who shall
read it from his eyes:
oiccleS> he: his necromancv fails to cage the
wondrouS bird:
Lure and snare are vain when fancy flies like
echo from word.
Only sometimes he may sing it, using speech as
'tWerr a BELL
Not to read the song, but ring it, like the sea-
tone from 4 she'll
Sometimes. too. il comes and fingers round the
strings AL still and mute,
Till some lovers wandering fingers draw it liv-
ing from the lutte.
Still, our best is but IA vision which lightning
flash illumes.
Just gleam Of life eIysian flung across the
voicelc>S glooms.
Why should CLEANS perplcx and move Us? Al
the soul must upward grow
To the beauty far above u. and the songs no
sense may know.

The Newest Temperance Movement

A manufacturing firm in Connecticut
have announced to their workmen that,
having lost great deal by employees who
We're under the influence Of liquor, they
have decided to hire no more men who
drink, and that they will discharge all
drinkingmen now in their shops. Should
this plan be adopted by employers in
general there would soon be a marked
decrease in the consumption of rum, for
no workman with any respect for him
self will care to have the reputation of
losing work for such a cause II is a
strange fact that many men who lose
time, money and health by drinking do
not need liquor or care for it, but contin-
ne in the habit because, having once be
gun to frequent bars, they are ashamed
to stop unless they can devise All unusual
excuse. Inability to get work while as
ing liquors will be as large an excuse as
any one can desire. New ork Herald.

The full bench Of the Supreme court
of Massachusetts has rendered decision
relating to the liquor license law. 1t is
that no ''public BAR shall be maintained.
Otherwise, that all licenses issued for the
sale of liquors to be drunk on the premi-
ses shall be to innholders or common
victuallers, who shall furnish meals,
lunches or food at table or counter.
1t is reported that the members of the
Law and Order League regard the decis-
ion of the court as a very important one
for their purposes in the suppression of
the sale of intoxicating liquors by hotel
proprietors and others to whom innhold-
ers' and common victuallers licenses have
been issued

fit of teachers, the subject being expert
ments in science which can be be perform
ed without the use of apparatus. At 2

ture for the benefit of teachers and
