A Boston Defaalter.

BosToN, June l9.-Arthur H. BlaneY, cashier
and head book-keeper of the Massachusetts Loan
and Trust company, confessed to embezzling
$4,000 Of the company's funds, owing to
mining and other stock speculations. The frst
intimstion Of anything wrong was on Monday
afternoon of last week, when it was found that
Blaney was $1,000 short in his cash accounts.
His attention was called to the discrepancy.
He said he had taken it for temporary use, and
would return it the next morning (Tuesday)
and did so, and being questioned about other
possible discrepancies, assured the president OF
the company that his deficit did net exceed
$1,000. 1t was deemed best to suspend Blaney.
and experts soon discovered the defalcation.
His mode of covering discrepancies was when
customer drew $1,000 to charge him as having
received $4,000 or more, and pocket the diff
ference.
The Steubenville Storm w
PrrrsBuRa, June 19.-The Chronicles special
SAYS: Hundreds visited the scene of the cyclone
to-day and viewed with astonishment the de-
struction of property in the city. The storm
appears to have formed about one mile west
of here in Union cemetery aud moving east
ward until it reached the high hill overlooking
the northern portion Of the city descended with
terrific force damaging and destroying almost
everything in its path it swept across the city
half mile and plunged into the waters of the
Ohio, lifted them up in the shape of water
spout a distance of hundred feet. To day
Photographic views are being taken of the de-
struction. Loss estimated at $4,000. The
most remarkable thing is the fact that no one
was injured as the storm passed over thickly
inhabited part of the city and in its path swept
the finest residences.

Important Facts for Those Who Burn Rero-
seue

Kerosene oil is one of the products derived
from refining crude petroleum rs it comes from
the well.
The oil is always more or less dangerous. ae-
cording TO the amount of volatile gases left in it.
Every lamp filled with the fluid is liable to
explode, after burning several hours.
But no explosion will ever happen with the
lamp full.
The danger comes from a constant generation
of an invisible vapor in the confined SPACE
above the oil. This vapor. which is inflamma.
BILE, is caused by the heat of the burner commu-
nicated to the oil; but il will not burn unless
exposed to flame. The metal attachments on
lamps often become 40 degrees warmer than the
oil, which is itself 200 degrees. Hence, Kerosene
to be entirely safe, should be $50 proof.
But very little of the oil used is rs good as
this of sixty-three samples recently tested,
only eight were found to be entirely safe. This
will account for the terrible loss of life from the
almost universal use of kerosene oil. In the
United States alone, last year, over 100 deaths
were reported from accidents by kerosene.
A simple test is to place tablespoonful of the
oil in a saucer, and apply n lighted match; if
the oil ignites, it is unsafe, never use it. lift
does not take fire, it is not necessarily safe; be-
cause the temperature of the oil in the open air
is not so great as when in a burning lamp.
The only reliable test is one made by slowly
heating some oil in which thermometer is
placed, constantly noting the number of degrees
and applying lighted match, not to the oil,
but to the vapor, if any, just above the surface.
II the oil flashes above 20s reject it.
This flashing point is the temperature at
which the oil emits an imfiammable vapor,
and depends upon the naptha, or gasoline in the
oil. This point should always be higher than
the temperature that the oil ever reaches in a
lamp, which is often 100 degrees.
Caution l. Keep the metallic parts of Lamps
clean, and the air passages open.
,. After lamp has been burning three or
more hours at time, never reiight again till
filled.

Johnny's Latest Composition.

10 the scholars in il for the best composition.
All the boys were compelled TO write, and were
allowed To choose their own subjects. One boy
declared that he could not do it, He could not
think Of anything 10 write about. Neverthe-
less, he was obliged to become one of the unwil-
ling competitors. When the day of trial came,
he read his composition, or rather a part Of il,
for he was not permitted TO read it all. He be-
gan:

The audience screamed with laughter but

JeEerson's Mill.

That great men are sometimes the reverse Of
practical is in part demonstrated by the follow
ing incident: Jefferson was a great man, hut
he was far from practical in some things. When
he in France, he very much struck
with the utility of wind-mills. He thought
they were wonderful institutions, and cost SO
little TO run. He owned large quantity of
timber on mountain much higher than Month
cello, about mile off. He purchased in France
n windmill, and the machinery for a saw mill
at the east of sl3, 900, and had it taken to the
top of the mountain. He had for neighbour a
bluff old fellow named Cole. One day Cole
came to him, and jefferson took him mp 10
where he was having the mill built. II was as
much as they could do to climb the steep ascent.
When Cole recovered the breath he had lost
getting up the mountain, he said: ''Mr. Jeffer-
son, You have a splendid saw-mill, and it is in a
splendid place TO catch the wind, but how are
you going to get the logs mp here to saw from.
The author of the Declaration of Indepen-
deneer started like a man suddenly awakened
from a delightful dream, and quickly said:
Hey, Cole, howl Whatr' And then relaps-
ing into abstraction, led the way down the
mountain toward Monticello. The windmill
was never completed, and. years after. the ma
cbinery was sold for old iron

An Old Anecdote Revised

The Scottish patriot, Balliol, having concealed
himself in cave the better to study the natural
history of some of King Edwards men-at-arms
and royal bloodhounds, became interested in
the movements of an ant which had secured
grain of corn much larger than itself, and was
endeayOring to convey its prize to the nest.
Sixty and nine times the little insect failed in
its arduous task, but so far from being discour-
aged. it attempted it vet SEVENTEEN time, and
failed again. Il see.r said Ballol to himself.
''that people can spare themselves n great deal
of bother by finding out early in the day what
il is they can't do, and. fastening to Berwick,
he made mis- submission to King Edward, by
whom he was loaded with honors and chains.
"a garbled version of this anecdote is told of
Bruce, but both stories repose on the manifestly
absurd theory that the canny Scot would have
wasted his time watching the ant, when he
might just rs well have taken the grain Of corn.

But, through the aee.ng years that come and 60.
1 call In vain
Oh they were happy, careless. golden days
When, unrestrained, sported glad and free
When every moment, with its boyish plays
Had joy for me.
Time then had no beginning, nor no end:
The present was paradise Of years;
No care could with my happiness contend.
To bring the tears
Each token Of the ever. welcome Spring.
Was treasured then. As of q wealth untold;
Each silvery bird song would TO fancy bring
A gem Of gold
The Summer days brought only glad content
A bright succession Of IN wearied hours
An endless holiday, rich freighted, spent
Among the flowers
The soubre Autumn with its harvest store
Its ripened fruits in rich abundance piled.
Brought pleasures that were never felt before
To me, child
stern. icy Winter could not check the stream
OF ehildhood's softly ripping tide Of glee;
Sweet home delights bring back happy dream
To memory.
Each season of the year then replete
With pleasant pastimes, all alike enjoyed;
Each bcyish day dream then was peaceful, sweet
And unaloyed.
A mother waiehful care protected me;
Her loving kindness strewed my path with flowers
She scothed each troubled moment tenderly.
In childhood hours.
To her of gratitude owe a debt.
That all my Later life has not erased
That years have not obliterated yet
Nor time efiaced.
May she in brighter spheres be ever blessed
