A YOUNG south side man has had an
experience in chimney cleaning which
will teach him caution when the chimney
is loaded. He started out to clean
chimney in Pautz's barber shop by means
of powder. He placed the powder in
the chimney and inserted a piece Of
ignited paper through the hole tor the
stove pipe. The powder exploded while
he had his face close to the hole and his
eyes were badly scorched and filed with
SCOT. For time it appeared as if the
new invention would cost him his ewes
as they were quite seriously injured.
But from present reports he has fair
chance of having his eyes fully restored.

THE SMOKING NUISANCE.

There are few who make an occa-
sional or habitual use of spirits or to-
bacco that will not, like the writer Of
the following article, acknowledge
their ill effects. Why then do they
use them? Why do the people of the
United States. annually inhale the
noxious fumes of more than 5000
millions of cigars? Why do they
snuff up their noses four million
pounds of tobacco dust? Besides
the cigars and the snuff they annual
ly defile their mouths with filthy juice,
and poison the air with the smoke
of $50 million pounds of tobacco.
Why do the people of this country
pay every year more than the value
of all the property in this state for
liquor and tobacco, when neaaly all
who use either acknowledge its evil
effect?
In any business, employers prefer
those who never drink nor use tobac-
co. The writer of the following ar
ticle speaks only of the danger of
fire from having hired help on farms
who have the smoking habit, and its
effect in diminishing the disposition
to labor which he has learned from
his own experience. Though smok-
Ell himself, he cannot afford to hire
those who smoke if he can get those
who do not:
eff farmer can have choice be-
tween the man who smokes and. the
one who does not he cannot afford to

WHAT EVERY Boy SHOULD LEARN

WHAT EVERY Boy SHOULD LEARN.
Every boy should learn to lift him.
self by the hands, and to hold on for
some time. 1t is not necessary to
60 to gymnasium to learn this.
Boys in the country in climbing trees
are soon able to lift themselves by
the hands. 1t is well to have pole
placed horizontally, just high enough
to allow the feet to clear from the
ground. With this and rope of
good size hanging down from Sc
cure fastening, many useful things
may be learned. The pole or rope
may be under shed or in barn.
To lift the body by the hands and to
move along on the pole and to hang
by one hand and to swing in various
ways, will greatly strengthen the
arms and hands. The rope will al
low of the more difficult feat of climb
ing it. Learn to climb the rope by
the aid of the feet, pressing the rope
between them. After this learn to
90 up using the hands only. In 60
ing down never slide, but 60 down
Northumberland, otherwise the hands
may be badly hurt. One who can
command himself while on a rope
may at times find the ability to do SO
very useful. 1t is easily acquired,
and the time spent in such exercise is
by no means wasted.

Echoes.

Ofttimes when Even's scarlet flag
Floats from the crest of distant woods,
And over moorland waste and crag
A weary, voiceless sorrow broods,
Around me hover to and fro
The ghosts of songs heard long ago.
And often midst the rush of wheels,
Ofpassing and repassing feet,
When half headlong city reels
Triumphant down the noontide street,
Above the tumult of the throngs
1 hear again the same old songs.
Rest and Unrest-'tis strange that ye,
Who lie apart as pole from pole,
Should sway with one strong sovereignty
The secret issues of the soul;
Strange that ye both should hold the keys
Ofprisoned tender memories.
1t may be when the landscapes rim
Is red and slumberous round the west,
The spirit too grows still and dim,
And turns in half unconscious quest
To those forgotten lullabies
That whilom closed the infants eyes.
And maybe, when the city mart
Roars with its fullest, loudest tide,
The spirit loses helm and chart,
And in an instant, terrified,
Has fed across the space of years
To notes that banished childhood's fears.
We know not-but It's sweet to know
Dead hours still haunt the living day,
And sweet to hope that, when the slow
Sure message beckons us away,
The past may send some tuneful breath
To echo round the bed of death.

And thinking the young lady returns my love,
Oh, amt worst of men?
She is younger than you, this new found love,
And her cheek is softer, ween;
Her hair is fairer than threads of gold,
AID her feet are the smallest I've seen.
She loves me, I think (but she says not SOY;
For she smiles when she sees my face,
And often rests in my arms content,
When hold her in close embrace.
I love her truly ere loved;

And the smile with which she bade me goodbye
