that his neighbOrs can observe the process

pie is that tongue which, when the food is
received into the mouth, slows it away to
the grinders on the left or right. How
nicely the teeth are adapted to their uses;
a hard chunk of beef of nearly
a cubic inch is mere baga-
telle for them. 1t is reduced
to an unacceptable mass of pulp in holy

tiful is the process by which it is secreted
and poured forth so plenteously at the
right time so as to mix with the food in the
proper proportions. All this preliminary
to the process of digestion exposed to pub
lie view-it is almost as interesting and in

as was the accommodating gentleman the

Gen. Grant a reception just before his de-

dinner party of us, including Commodore
Allen, Mr.. Mclean, Gen. Grant and my

day with Judge Stanley Matthews. / never
saw Gen. Grant in such an excellent humor
as he seemed all that day. He talked
about his old home across the river, his
friends in Cincinnati, laughed and chatted
about his early boyhood experiences, and
seemed contented and happy with the world

If discussion arises or bet is made in

Where Our Soda Comes From.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Along the Peruvian coast, stretching for
hundreds of miles, are the famous beds Of
nitrate of soda, which purified, is saltpeter.
These deposits, more profitable than silver
or guanO, were discovered accidentally by a
vagrant Englishman named George Smith,
but were not operated to any extent until
recent years. Now nitrate, having been
found valuable component of hundred
chemical forms, is i'll demand the world
over, and millions of dollars worth is
shipped from the ports along the
coast annually. Before its value was

located claims" after the fashion in vogue
in mining-camps everywhere, and then the
government stepped in and forbade any
further presumption. But the original 10

ply the market for century or two, and to
keep up prices they have formed pool,
monopoly combination, under which they
charge from two to three dollars per cwt.
for what costs them about Is cents. There
is apparently no limit to the stuff, the bed

400 miles.

or four months ago lost entirely the use of
her eyes, and became. as it was thought,
hopeleSsly blind. Expert medical attend
ance failed to effect any relief, and gave
the lady little hope of ever regaining her
sight. Recently the sudden and alarming
cry of fire" rang from the lips of one of
her daughters. Realizing her imminent
peril, it seems that in the despair with
which drowning man graSpS at straw,
the lady made an effort to omen her eyes
The long unused nerves responded to her
will. The alarm proved to be without
foundation, but the fright it caused restored
a sight which the physicians had given up
as hopeless. In an interview with phySi-
clan the reporter learned that it was more
than probable that during the long time
Mrs. Charles had suffered from neuralgia
the optic nerves had become weakened and
loss of nervous current had ensued which
was partially restored by the sudden shock
which the fright produced. The lady is
now enjoying comparatively good sight,
and the impression prevails that she will
fully recover.

She came in her girlish beauty.

The glow of the morn threw or her

She pointed across the meadows:
The forests were calm and still,
And ripping under their shadow
Came CLEANS of a tinkling rill.

She smiled; ''And the glen is near"
We basked in the mornings brightness.
Like children when toys are new.
And laughed az the swaying cobwebs-
Bespangled with glittering dew.
We stopped TO listen and wonder
At a blackbird's rapturous note.
And j saw the gentle fiutter
OF the lace below her throat.
Iheld her and kissed her softly:
''Dear heart / have loved you longl''
And we stood in the sunlit meadows
Forgetting the blackbird's song.

And so might be mentioned long list of
table habits which ArtemuS Ward would
describe as ''Ornery." There are people
who take slices of bread six inches square
and consume them by biting huge semi
circles out of them; there are those who
take their pie into their hands to eat, suck
their soup from their spoons with noise
like syringe and blow their noses from
the table. The last refinement of good
breeding is Miss Prim, with the jewel on
her right little finger. She is so anxious to
display it that with infinite trouble and
pains she has learned to crook back her
little finger from the last joint, trick
which never fails to impress her beholders
as they observe her daintily handle her

WIFE AND Il.
Come and drain a cup of joy

Come and drain a cup of joy
Now with me, good wife,
And bring the girl and boy
Now with thee, good wife.
Let all hearts be blithe and gay,
1t is fOuite years to-day,
Since you spake the little AYE"
That to me was life.
When in wedding white arrayed
/ beheld you stand,
Why. / almost felt afraid
Fen to touch your hand.
And when with love intent
Your gaze on me you bent,
You seemed being sent
From the Better Land"
And an angel you have proved
Since that good, glad hour,
AYE, wherever we have roved
In sunshine and in shower.
In all goodness you transcend,
And all eXcellences blend
In the mother, wife and friend,
As a sacred dover.
You have made my life more pure
Than il might have been;
You have taught me to endure,
And to strive and win.
With your simple song of praise
You sanctify our days,
And our thoughts 10 heaven you raise
From a world of sin.
Come, let's quit the dusty town
With its noise and strife,
And seek the breezy down
That with health is rife
Work is good and so is play,
Let US keep our wedding day
Ger the hills and far away,
Happy man and wife.
