FOR SOMEBODY'S SAKE.

As over life's mountains and vale
Our pilgrimage journey we take,
We add to our trouble and care,
And heavier burdens we bear
For somebody's sake.
Though deeply we're wounded by grief,
Though the heart may continue to ache,
Our sorrows we keep out of sight,
And our faces are smiling and bright
For somebody's sake.
We labor and toll all the day
And many a sacrifice make,
And at night may be weary and worn
With the trials we've cheerfully borne
For somebody's sake.
What wonderful tasks we achieve
What wonderful deeds undertake!
And how sweet is the victory won,
When all we've acc omplished was done
For somebody's sake!
The struggle that's only for self
No Joy among angels may wake,
But the brightest of crowns will be given
To those who have suffered and striven
For somebody's sake.
-Congregdtiondlist.

Tomato Flour.

The Italians dry and pulverize the
pulp of the tomato. Large districts
are devoted to the culture of the fruit
for this purpose, the plant being usually
raised between rows of vines in vine
yards for the sake of economy of land.
The ripe fruit is macerated in water,
and when reduced to thin pulp is
strained TO take cut the seeds, cores,
etc, and then spread in the sun to dry.
1t is afterward ground and put up for
market. There seems to be no reason
why evaporating ovens, so much in
use for drying less succulent fruit, as
apples, might not be utilized in this
country for preparing tomatoes by
drying.
OF course powdered tomato might
not supersede the canned fresh fruit
Its chief use would be for soups, sauces
and other auxiliary uses in cooking
But there are many consumers of the
fresh tomato who refuse the timed
canned tomato from fear of the action
of the acid of the fruit on the loaded
tin of the can. the resultant being in
their estimation virulent lead poison.
Tomatoes put up in glass-quite high
priced-have therefore been welcomed
by lovers of the fruit-or vegetable.
Possibly there is room here for an adj
dition to our list of dried or eyapo-
rated food articles-Scientifc Amer

A Puzzled Colonel.

The following military anecdote Is
going the rounds A certain colonel
thought he saw the officer of the day
walking out without his sword. He
sent for the officer, who borrowed a
sword of a brother officer at the foot
of the stairs, put it on, and had an
interview with the colonel, who talked
on other matters. Then the officer
went away, returned the sword. and
walked across the lawn. The colonel
saw him, and, doubling his own senses,
sent for him again. The officer
borrowed the sword again, and the
colonel apologized, and said he was
getting old and had forgotten what he
wanted to say. Again the officer went
away, and the colonels wife came in
the room.
"Do you see Officer Smith?" the
colonel asked.
"Yes, sir" she said.
Tell me if he is wearing his sword
or not" the colonel continued.
"He has no sword on" said the
wife.
That's where you fool yourself, my
DEAR" said the colonel. "He has"

Wouldn't be Snuhbed.

A good story is told of a French
artist. Vereschajin, and the car of all
the Ru5sias, which shows that the
painter is not wanting in self-respect,
even if a monarch does patronize him:
Some time ago Nereschaiin received
from the car, Alexander I'LL, an order
for a picture. He at once set to work
and in due time forwarded to the en-
peror one of his finest eanvases, in
which he had managed to paint moth
ing that could be construed as flattery.
He called his picture "Our Prisoners. "
1t showed troop of Turkish pris-
oners of war, who were falling to the
ground under the brutal blows of
their escort, some robust Russian sol
diers.
The cz.. was little pleased. He had
expected tlattery and received-the
naked truth. He nevertheless ex-
pressed the wish of making the
acquaintance of the painter. The day
for the audience was liked, and Veres-
chain left Paris for st. Petersburg.
When he appeared in the palace he
was told that the ear had no time to
see him, and that he must wait until
he was called.
AS soon as he received this answer
Vereschajin returned to Paris. On
the following day chamberlain of the
emperor called at the hotel where
Vereschajin had been staying while in
st. Petersburg. and asked for the artist.
"He has left here" he was tod.
what" exclaimed the Mortified cour-
tier, "he is gone, and the czar is wait
ing to-day to receive him Did he
leave no message?"
sob. yes" the proprietor of the hotel
replied; " he left word if any one called
for him, to say he had no time to wait. y

Protection Against TOrnadOes.

The frequent recurrence of lorna
does and the erious loss of life attend
ing, has agitated the question of pro
lection against these storms and
invited a fund of advice, theoretical
and practl al.
The signal service gives the warn
ing to always run to the north on the
first sign of the vortex, unless by going
in that direction one will have to cross
the entire path of the storm. If
nearer to the southern edge than to the
center of the probable path, one may
go south, bearing slightly to the east,
but in no event should one run directly
to the east or northeast. AS a large
proportion of these storms occur at
night and the ma ,ority of its victims
are in no condition of mind to run in
the right dire .tion, the above warning,
while good so far as it goes, cannot be
said to cover the entire ground.
The experience in Kansas and else
where makes it evident that a house
or any building rising above ground is
no protection, and the best thing to do
is to leave it if it be in the path of the
tornado. If there is any retreat under
ground that can be reached, this is ad-
vised. In Kansas lives have been
saved in excavations in the ground
called "dug-outs,' made for the pur-
pose within easy access of the house.
These retreats are quite underground,
with an entrance from the northern or
eastern side, and covere with strong
roof not rising above the earth.
Cellar caves are also constructed
from the cellar of the house. These
are excavated from the west wall of
the Gel ar toward the west. When
there is not time to flee from the house
it is advised, as the safest thing to do,
to place ones self against the west
wall of the cellar, face forward, or
against the south wall as near the
southwest corner as possible. The
northeast quarter rs considered fatal
position, and therefore should be
avoided
Ii out of doors and overtaken by a
tornado, the only recourse is to cast
ones self face downward upon the
ground, with the head toward the east
| the arms thrown well over the head Il
protect it. Avoid the shelter of trees
or groves, but select if possible thu
open field.
The knowledge that a tornado moves
in a noItheasterly direction simplifie'
the above rules and makes evident tn,
wisdom, whether in building OF cellar

japanese Cremation.

A very few days later, on arriving
in Toxic, and driving through one of
its suburbs, my attention was arrested
ly IA group of very peculiarly shaped
tall chimneys, very wide at the base
and ending in a narrow mouth, so
strangely suggestive of old sketching
days in Kent that the idea of the
familiar farm oast-house" at once
presented itself. On inquiry, learned
that this was one of the city cremato-
ries, of which there are about half a
dozen scattered over the principal
suburbs of the vast city. Surprising
that in the great capital the process of
cremation might be performed more
tremendously and scientifically then
in the country cemetery which 1 had
previously visited, 1 determined to in
spect this also. But in the multitude
of more attractive interests, 1 never
found time to do so. Soon afterward,
however, my friend Miss Bird
visited similar establishment
in the same neighborhood, and
found the same perfect simplicity in
all details. TIE great chimneys form
the only material difference, their OBJ
ject, of course, being to convey any
unpleasant fumes to such height as
to insure no nuisance being created in
the neighborhood. Not only is this
desirable result secured, but even within
the premises there is nothing in the
least noxious or disgusting. Miss Bird
states that although thirteen bodies
had been consumed in the burning
house q few hours before her visit, and
a considerable number of bodies were
awaiting cremation (those of the
Weather class being confined in oD-
long pine chests and those of the very
poor in tubs of pine hoped with bam-
boo), there was not the slightest odor
in or about the building, and her inter-
prefer informed her that the people
living near never experienced the least
annoyance, even while the process is
going on. The only difference between
this city crematory and the burning
house in the rural cemetery was
that the high-roofed mud build
ing was divided into four
rooms, the smallest of which is reserved
for such wealthy persons as prefer
to have their dead cremated apart, in
solitary state, for which privilege they
pay s., ii. e., about the equivalent of
81, whereas ordinary mortals are dis
posed of in the common room for the
modest sum of something under As.
One shilling's worth of fuel is the aver
age consumption required for each
body. Granite supports are laid in
pairs all along the earthen floor, and
on these the coflin-chests are placed at
p. NJ, when the well-dried faggots
beneath them are kindled. The fires
are replenished from time to time, and
at E A. NJ. the man in charge goes
round the building, and from each
hearth collects and stores in a separate
urn the handful of ashes which alone
remains. Some wealthy families Sc
cure the services of Buddhist priests
to watch all night beside these funeral
pyres, but this is considered quite a
work of supererogation. After the
religious service in the house the fur

THAT AWFUL COWBOY.
lie wore but one suspender,

He wore but one suspender,
And with neither coat nor vest
He was on high old bender
In peaceful town out West;
His muddy homespun trousers
We're in his boot-legs stuck,
And his yells at times, old rousers,
He said were "just for luck"
He had a big hcrse-pistol,
And he stated he could smash
A small-sized watch's crystal
At hundred yards, for cash.
He wore no tie or collar,
And his shirt, not over fine,
Cost just one-half dollar
In the days of "Auld Lang Syne."
He scorned the town officials,
Unmindful of their stars,
And carved uncouth initials
On the village liquor bars.
He seemed to have no money,
And whene'er he took drink
He called the landlord "sonny,"
And paid him with wink.
With noisy song and whistle
He on horseback sat,
And fred his old horse-pistol
At the mayors bee-gum hat.
He paled the ladies' faces
With his loud, sardonic laugh,
And made uncouth grimaces
At the constable and staff.
But fellow met this cowboy
And caught him by the ear,
And said, quite coolly, CHOW, boy,
'Tis time you get from here!"
Then he shook up his digestion
In a way that raised laugh,
And proved beyond a question
That the cowboy was calf.

The New Fifteen Puzzle.

Backward, turn backward, oh, Time. iu thy
The new standard time system is sufficiently
plain and easily understood. and everybody is
beginning to catch on Here 1t is in nutshell;
There now five standards of time governing
the running of trains on the railroads in the
United tates and Canada, instead of the fifty
more different local times which have hereto
fore been used. The change was accomplished
on Sunday, when the noon hour by the 10Th
meridian OF longitude was telegraphed from the
United states Naval observatory at Washington
all over the country, and re-setting of watches
and clocks in the three western time belts took
place simply by making the time in each belt one
hour earlier than the time of the belt
adjoining it on the east The only belt
to the eastward of the 75th meridian i3
the enter colonial" district, which comprises the
railroads of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
the Dominion of Canada as far west as Quebec,
In this district, which is, with the exception of
a part of Maine, all outside of the United States,
when IL O'Clock noon in The Seventy-hfth me-
ridian was telegraphed, the time pieces were
moved forward to mark l P. III on the dials.
The four time divisions for the United States are
governed by Eastern" Central" "MOuntain"
and "Pacific" time standards. based respective
ly on the 75th. the Goth, the 105th and the 12Oth
merldians, the difference in each being uniform
" one hour. Thus, when it is O'Clock In the
Inter-cOlonial division, 1t is IL O'Clock ia the
Eastern IL O'Clock In the Central this d.
vision), ~ o'clock in the "Mouutatn" and 8
O'Clock in the Pacific"
AS matter of fact our time here ia not set
back sixteen minutes, only fifteen minutes and
hfty-eight seconds. The Central division takes
in a small western fraction of Pennsylvania,
the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, all that portion of Dakota east
of line drawn almost due north and south
through Fort Clarke and Bismarck, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mlssls-
sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Indian
Territory, Ghree-fourths OF Nebraska, Kansas.
and the State of Texas, except a few miles off
the north west corner. The Goth meridian, on
which the time of this division Is based, runs a
little east of st. Louis. near or through Belle
vile, through Memphis and New Orleans.
