A Young Solomon.

Untmely philosophy, however useful,
has It's pathetic side. A tiny boy, of 10
years perhaps, was coming along a side
street after the last snowstorm, his
shovel over his shoulder, when he was
accostcd by q passing woman who knew
him and asked If he got his pay for that
Job yet The boy shook his head with
out speaking. "1'hcn | wouldn't do
another stroke for her till she put the
money in my hand said the woman
The boy passed on without speaking,
but when he got past turned, and, nod
ding his head in her direction, said. I'm
your mind YOU wouldn't! Folks that
have to work Gun blow. but they have
to do the things they don't like, all the

A Great Fire.

NEwBURG, n. Y, Jan. 5.-The build
ing Of Ward, Stanton & Co., boat build
ers, was damaged by fire, to the amount
of 100000; insurance, $4,000. The fire
originated in the wheel pit of a rolling
mill. Work was suspended on Friday
for repairs, and was to be resumed this
morning, During the severe cold OF
last night the wheel was frozen in the
pit The engineer began thawing it
out by the usual process, when by some
accident the oil caught fire and the
flames spread with wonderful rapidity.
The firemen did splendidly, and sue
cessiully divided the fire from the CEN
trail portion of the city, which includes
Il great knitting mandatory, A more
rapid fire never was seen. Inside ofone
hour from the time the oil took fire in
the wheel pit, the entire works had
been consumed, and nothing was left
but the furnace and their chimneys.
The total loss on rolling mill stock is
estimated at half a million dollars: in-
surance about $4,000. The flames were
driven to the pilot mills, which were
soon enveloped. The sight was grand.
Fire ran through the oil and combusti-
ble machinery, and communicated from
one store to another with great rapidity.
Within FIVE minutes this immense block
was totally enveloped. The iremen
were utterly helpless to stay the pro-
gress Soon the gasoline exploded,
rending and leveling the walls, The
loss on the gigantic mill was 100000;

supply local requirements, and its
tide and timber pastures afford stock
ranges which the people of Eastern
Washington will within very few
years look upon with envy. Timber
ranges are now almost wholly ncg-
lected both i'll Oregon and Washing
ton, but they are in fact the best per
manent pastures we have. The day
will come, and ere long, too, when the
chief cattle producing sections of
Oregon and Washington will be the
timber ranges of Puget Sound and
along the coast
In her coal and iron mines West
crn Washington has the resources
which have made Pennsylvania the
second state in the Union. And she
has them in no small measure. Her
store of Goals is great enoughto sup
ply the needs Of a manufacturing pop
ulation of million people for an in
definite period. tits practically mex
haustible. She has, literally. noun
tains of iron, of the qualities most
valuable, easily accessible; and of the
best commercial timbers she has
supply whose extent or value it is i'm
possible to estimate 1t is SO great
that thirty years Of reckless extrava-
gance in its use, and much wanton de-
suuction has scarcely left mark
upon it. These three great materials
--3Oal, iron and wood-are not only
in great demand as raw materials
throughput the commercial world, but
they ar the basis of manufacture,
aud the handmade of manufacture is
wealth.
In her present stage of develop
ment, and, perhaps, for a few years
to come, Western Washington will
sell her raw products, but in time
she will become the seat of great
manufacturing enterprises. And not
least among the advantages of the
Puget Sound country is Puget Sound
Itself the finest harbor in the world.
Another circumstance of value in
estimating the future development Of
Western Washington is its fine work
ing climate. A man can work in the
open air every day in the year, with
out distress from hea and unharmed
by cold. Its seasons afford scarcely
more variety than is healthful and
pleasant. The industrial conditions
of the country at this time are pro-
phetic of a great development in the
future. Coal mines near Seattle and
Tacoma have been opened and con-
nected with deep water docks by lines
of railroad. Other and more extern
sive coal fields are soon to be tapped
by new lines of railroad. The iron
beds near Port Townsend are being
opened, and nine large merchant mills
produce million feet of sawed tim
ber per day. The cities of the Sound,
though none of them are large or pos
sess great wealth, are wonderfully
energetic, and are progressing at a
pace which cannot be described. And
in social and moral conditions, the
Sound country is abreast of the times.
1t has newspapers of unusual enter
prise, college of merit, fine gen
eral school system, beautiful church
es and a cultivated and refined soci-
ETY.. If Western Washington were
without resources excepting in and
of itself, if it were an island in mid
ocean, it would become great.

without and within.

My coachman, in the moonlight there,
Looks through the side light Of the door;
1 hear him with his brethren swear,
As could debut only more.
FlatteniDg his nose against the pane,
He envies me my brilliant lot,
Breathes on his aching fists in vain,
And dooms me to place more hot.
He sees me into supper 90,
A silken wonder by my side,
Bare arms bare shoulders and row
Of fiounces for the door too wide.
He thinks how happy is my arm,
Meath its white-gloyed and jeweled load,
And wishes me some dreadful harm,
Hearing the merry corks explode.
Meanwhile inly curse the bore,
OF hunting still the same old coon;
And envy him, outside the door,
In golden quiets of the moon.
The winter wind is not SO cool
AS the bright smile he sees me win,
Nor the hosts oldest wine SO old
As our poor sabble sour and thin.
l envy him the ungyyed prance,
By which his freezing feet he warns,
And drag my lady's chains and dance
The galley slave OF dreary forms.
o, could he have my share Of din,
And his quiet-pass a doubt,
'Twould still be one man bored within,
And just another bored without.

Lion Heart.

The Altoona Tribune of last week
published the following: Last week
while a teamster was engaged in
loading limestone, on the farm of MIR.
+. 2. Confer, short distance from
McKee's station, along the Martins
burg railroad, copperhead snake
bit him severely on the largest finger
of the right hand. The hand swell
ed to great proportions in an incred-
IDLY short time, and it was feared the
bite of the venomous reptile would
prove fatal. Fortunately an old far
mer, whose residence is near by, was
within easy distance, for as soon as
he learned of the occurrence he went
into the wood, plucked few stalks
of weed known as lion heart, and
crushing the stalks and leaves to a
pulp, put them ON the wound as q
poultice. The swelling Immediately
stopped and soon passed away alto
gether. When the remedy was ap-
piled first the entire right arm was
affected. The next day the teamster
was almost as well as ever. Mr..
Confer gives US this information, as
he says, to disabuse the public mind
from the prevailing impression that
whiskey is the only sntidote for
suahe bite.
