the worst of it is over and the escape
begins to rise. The men are drilled
daily, except Saturday and Sunday,
and before passing into the brigade
wait for certificate from the chief
drill instructor. The drill is of sn ex-
ceednigly, diversified and ingenious
character. They jump from windows
into sheets; they pick each other up
and carry each other down ladders;
they are slung out of windows by
ropes, representing the chair knot
used in courts and alleys where the
escape cannot penetrate; they rescue

WHEN THE BABY CAME.

Always in the house there was trouble and con-
Little sparks Of feeling flashing into fame,
Signs of irritation,
So sure to make occasion
For strife and tribulation-till the baby came
All the evil sounds full of cruel hate and rancor,
All the angry tumult--nobody to blamei
Ali was hushed so sweetiy,
Disappearing feetly.
Or quoted completely-when the baby came
Faces that had worn gloomy veil Of sadness,
Hearts intent on seeking Tor fortune or for
Once again were Iightened,
Once aga in were frightened,
Aud their rapture heightened when the baby
came.
All affections windows opened TO receive it,
Pure and fresh from Heaven, and give it earthly
name.
ClaspiHg and carreSsing
In arms Of love, confessing
That life had missed a blessing-till the baby
Homes that were in shadow felt the gentle sun
Smiling, as IL anxious their secret to proclaim
Grateful songs we're swelling,
Of mirth and gladness telling,
And Love ruled all the dwelling -when the baDy
came.
Hearts that had been sundered by a tide of pas
Were again united in purpose and In aim;
In the haunt secluded,
Peace divihey broodcd,
Where discoId had intruded-tiil the baby came
Little cloud dispeler! little comfort bringer!
Baby girl or baby boy, welcome all the same
Even DER the embers
OF bleak and cold Decembers,
Some fond heart remembers when the baby
came. --ANoS

Mr.. Edison Makes Another Invention.
From New York Tribune.

One of Thomas Edison's experts
has besn experimenting during the
last four days with an Invention on
the trains OF the Staten Island Rails
way Company. The new device is
intended to permit engineers of trains
to communicate easily with one an
other when the trains are 3 mile
apart and in motion. The medlam
of communication is the telegraph
wires along the railroad and an IN
strament in the engineers cab. The
appliance is designed to prevent coils
ions in foggy weather at curves or on
terminals. 1t resembles the telephone
in some respects. Fiagmen and de
pot>wstchers can also use the instru-
ment 10 communicate with approach
lrg or passing trains no matter at
what speed they may be running. The
trials thus far have been conducted
with q good deal of secrecy, and
neither the operator nor Mr.. Edison's
private secretary would give any
particulars of the invention TO s
Tribune reporter last night, except to
state that the experiments were sue
cessful, and when the plans are ulti
mately perfected collisions between
trains will be almost impossible. 1t
is considered a most valuable inven-
ton, and Mr.. Edison desires TO secure
all the foreign patents before making
anything known about it. He expects
TO have it completed in about two
weeks.

wasting time IN useless lamepts, Bet
tie promptly set about mending It,
and succeeded so well she was aston
issed. But the most trying thing
was caused by servants stupidity.
Bette was caught Ia her wrapper by
a fashionable caller, but instead of
collapsing from sheer embarrassment
and annoyance, she determined Dame
Worry should not cheat her out of
her peace of mind, and accordingly
apologized SO prettily and with such
composure that her visitor was
charmed.
Bette did not, of course. always
succeed in controlling herself in this
way, but as the weeks few by, Dame
Worry was less and less seen in the
Orion household; and as for Bette,
the new calm and repose OF her hIth-
erto somewhat excited manner lent
her a charm which she had never
before possessed.
At last came a trial test. Ons ey-
ening about a year later, Bettie's
father told her that owing TO the fail
ure of hitherto trustworthy bank, a
large part of their property was lost,
and they must greatly change their
mode of living.
Bette did not sleep much that night.
She had hard struggle with Dame
Worry, but at last, after a firm resolve
and an earnest prayer to be kept from
adding one jot to her fathers troubles
by worrying, she fell into sweet
slumber, from which she awoke with
new energy for the unusual cares be-
fore her.
After that Mr.. Orion was daily as~
tonished at Bette. She cheered the
children and fell TO planning SO ener-
getically the reduction of the hous:
hold expenses, she managed to keep
up such good courage and even GER
tain infectious gayety, that Mr.. Orion
was cemforted and strengthened fof
the new burdens which now fell upon
| him.

some month"; after, when the worst
had passed and his affairs again as

know how your cheerfulness hel ped

The London Firemen.
The Cornhill Magazine.

In the same year was established
school OF instruction for recruits.
Every man who joins the brigade
has to undergo a period of Instruction,
during which time he draws pay. He
has to be clothed, taught, housed,
and in every way looked after, aud
for a considerable time gives no ret
ura whatever for the expense, which
is calculated at about 9100 per man.
After time he gives a little. and at
about the end of a year becomes
thoroughly useful. The recruit must
in the first place be seaman, under
20 years of age and unmarried, must
measure not less than thirty-seven
inches round the chest and is gene>
rally preferred at least five feet five
inches in height. He must be a man
of general intelligence, able to read
and write, must pass a medical in
spection, and produce certificates of
birth and testimonials as to character
and service. The pay at FIRST joining
is 24s week and it rises to 27s sd, 30s
10d, 81 Sd, Ais and 46s Cd. The uni
from is supplied yearly, and there is
now liberal arrangement for graf
uities and pensions, with which the
men appear to be in general satisfied.
The candidate Lust be seaman Ito
that rule there has been no exception
for thirty years., and he Is preferred
when coming from the merchant ser
vice rather than from the navy. The
reason for preferling the seaman to
the landsman is plain; his familiarity
of climbing, with the handling OF
ropes, with doing work at height,
all give him primary training of the
highest importance. The preference
extended to the merchant service arr
ses from the fact that nowadays two
thirds of the navy men are merely
engineers and fighters, men accus-
toned to work on deck rather than
aloft; and though 10 doubt there are
among them still many good climbers,
they are not In the same proportion as
In the merchant service where the
greater part of the mems work lies in
the rigging. On presenting himself
at headquarters the candidate has to
undergo a very severe physical test,
In which If he fail, he IS not further
examined A fire escape is laid hori-
zontally on the ground, and by an
of ropes and pulleys has

So many schemes are put before the public for
the increase of newspaper circulation, which
scent to be plausible and yet are fraudulent, that
when legitimate, honest effort Is made to build
up the circulation of a legitimate, honest paper,
by legitimate, honest means, people who have
been so many times duped, are very slow to res
pond to the genuine scheme We are led to this
train OF thought by perusal of the advertise

The absolute calamity of man
should come only when the pepula-
ton OF the world is too large for the
productive power of all the soil. Some
land must be set aside for supporting
buildings, some for roads and streets,
some for the growth of cotton, flax
and wool; the immense remainder is
available for the growth of food
Should the human family outgrow
the clothing and grain areas of the
planet, then hard times would be a
necessity. But while the earth shall
continue abundantly able to feed and
clothe all its children, poverty is an
accident and not a necessity. Only
small part of the globe is cultivated !;
and much of that has been cultivated
in the poorest possible manner. Even
in the United States, where farming
is yearly becoming a science, there is
almost as much land in the middle
states to be reclaimed as there is in the
far west to be opened for the first time
to cultivation. Virginia, Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, and nearly all the
south, compose one large example of
an agriculture but little better than
that OF Turkey or Palestine.
As to its power to sroduce food and
clothing for man, earth is still as
and years ago. If any members of
the human myriads are short of food
and clothing the fault is in the occu-
pant of the world and not in the globe
itself. Our troubles would pass away
if a few millions of those who have
no pay for work would do that kind
of work for which the soil would be
paymaster. How can carpenters Sc
cure pay when there are not enough
men who need carpentersi How can
weavers secure wages when we have
all the fabrics we needG How can the
Irishman's shovel find work and pay
when the railroads are built and the
money for cleaning cutters Is all
spentq Hsw can all the clerks find
work when there are ten clerks for
each Sx10 store or object How can
all the teachers find schools when
there ere ten teachers for each country
school house.
When there are no men to make
any payment fer our form of labor
then we must turn aside from man as
our paymaster and ask nature to be
the employer. That is, instead of
bartering our school teaching" or
our weaving or our .'clerking" or
our ''brlckmaking" for corn. wheat,
and potatoes, We must turn to the
ground and raise them. 1--we cannot
barter for bread and meat we must
grow them. Unable to buy any land
we must rent some acre or acres, for
we must live and there is life in the
ground.
Virginia comprises "a, 600, 600 of
acres of land, of which s, 600, 600, I'M
der cultivation. Assuming that there
is one-thIrd more capable of being
cultivated we have s, 900, 900 of acres,
under one Of the best skies In the
world, waiting for humanity to come
to them for food, shelter and clothing.
And yet in that very state there will
be found ten ssdarkiesn to the small
village who are expecting money to
come from whitewashing among
houses which do not believe in the
