THE RAID OF DEATH.

Death rode through the streets of a town one
day;
Astride OF his old horse gaunt and gray.
And the frightened crowd, with headlong
Needless of age, or sex, or creed,
Jost ed eacS other left and right
In their haste to hide from the mons ter s sight.
Men who had often wished themselves dead,
Turned with the rest and tremblingly He'd;
The young and the strong, the feeble anu old
Over whose heads long years had rolled
The naughty and humble, the gloomy and gay
Alike all hurriedly fastened away.
Into his mansion the rich man hled,
Barring his gates on the crowd outside;
Said to himself: I'VE are free from harm!"
Then cautiously pcered from lUOp-hole out,
To see what mischief old Death was about
Outside the panic was wild and high,
None of the crowd were ready to die;
But they knew that if death on their steps
Pleadings and prayers would be all in vain.
One OF their number they knew must fall
And who could be spared the best of allY
"Give him old Trueman!" some one cried
He with his limbs all twisted aside;
Ugly, and old and crippled is he
Better take him than you or me-"
And so, with a tear In each sightless eye,
Poor old Trueman was left to die.
But Death passed on by the friendless old
On past the feeble who prayed as they ran
And into the rich mans mansion gay,
Needless of bolts, he made his way.
Not that he cared for the gittering gold,
But he wanted a lamb from the sheltered fold.
The rich mans heart stood still with dread,
As he heard the invader S terrible tread.
He folded an amulet rich and rare
'Rour the dainty form of each idol fair,
And erie a with pitiful, pleading breath
Leave them alone! = they are mine, Q
Death!"
But Death, with purpose cruelty planned,
On a fair young form laid his icy hand
Bathed the white brow with his own cold dew
Pressed the lids DER the eyes of hlue,
And bore away from the stately hail
The fairest idol among them all
o Death! thy victims no man may choose,
And none can tell whom thou wilt refuse.
Youth is not safe from thy terrible power
Gold can not purchase reprieve an hour;
The lofty and lowly, the sad and the gay,
Alike must yield to thy terrible sway.

As,aying Gold Coins.

It is a common thing for our Govern
ment assay Office in New York to melt
up foreign coin and assay it, prepar-
atory to having it coined into United
States money, The process is some
what complicated. First, the coins are
weighed in the receiving room, and
then they are sent to the melting room,
melted and cast into bars, and what are
called "slips" are taken. These are
small, thin pieces of the metal. which
are used to test the quality. They are
hammered and rolled and weighed to a
given weight. A certain amount of
silver is added, and then the sample is
''cupelled' This process extracts the
base metals Fl, m the gold and silver.
The added silver is necessary in order
that the acids used may get out all the
silver in the sample. 1t is necessary to
DO the metal in acid twenty minutes
in order to extract all the silver. The
result is then weighed to ascertain the
percentage of gold. The amo mt of pure
gold wares in different coins. In Unit
cd States coin the amount of pure gold
must b nine-tenths. In doubloons the
amount of pure gold is generally about
eighty-seven per cent OF the remain
der nine per cent. is 81 yer and four per
cent. baser metals. The charge Tor as
saying is about four cents an ounce

How Canned Goods are Poisoned.

A good many persons have been
poisoned lately by eating canned pro-
visions. A Brooklyn physician has been
making examination to d scover the rea-
son. lie has discovered that in many
cases it was customary to fasten on the
cap at the top of the can with an ANAL
gam of muriate zine; that this ANAL
gam was put on with brushes by boys,
and the soldering iron then passed
around it; that nothing was easier than
for some of the mur,a of zinc to get
inside of the can; and that when there
it must become absorbed in he ontents
and render the latter extremely poison
Gus, since muriate of tin was added to
the muriate of zinc by the action OF the
acid wherever it entered the can. Can
ming establishments should discard this
method of sealing the cans at once or
the people will cease purchasing the
canned provisions. Rochester Post En-

A Stingy Woman.

The intuition and the malignitS of
woman are two things that pass al
understanding.
Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Callahan are
two Austin ladies that do not love each
other. A mutual friend called on Mrs.
Foster, and dur ng the conversation the
visitor remarked:
"Mrs. Callahan has had her front
teeth filed"
did she have them filled entirely"
"Oh. yes; but why do you askP"
''For no particular reason, except that
she is so close 1 supposed that she
would only have them partly filed.
She must have been in an extravaganza
mood. What did she have her teeth
filled with?"
"With gold, of course"

plated. "-2e1as SytIngs

4 DangerOus Bank.

The folly of using the parlor stove a.
safe deposit vault received its latest illus
tration in Brool, a few days ago. A hard
working painter sold out his business lately
and handed the proceeds-S9OO--t his wife
TO take care of until they completed their
preparations for a European trip. With
glowing eyes and a swelling bosom she
counted over the crisp new bills, and then
casting about for place of safety saw the
unused stove in the front rOOr, and said to
herself that surely no burglar would ever
look there for vsluables. And inasmuch as
the pipe had been removed, there, was no
danger that any member of the family would
knowledge. The fsct that she had convert
ed the stove into : safe she carefully lock-
ed in her own breast. One dsy last week
the head OF the family had occasion TO light
his pipe in the parlor, and naturally he drop
ped the hsi-burned match into the stove.
When the painters wife went to look for the
money and found only some fragments Of
burned paper, there was small earthquake
in that household. The trip to Europe has
been postponed. The painter has secured
a new stock of pots and brses (on credit),
and hi. wife casts evil looks at the stove
when ever she sees it, and Is strongly
tempten to throw it out Of the window.
