PHYLLIS AND HER PASTRY.

Fair Phyllis made pretty cake
To please her papa's palate;
Her parents put it on a stake
And used it for mallet

And then she got him up pie;
He thought twas made Of leather,
And kindly asked her if the crusts
Were pegged or sewed together.
Chicago Ledger.
And then she made q big mince pie
In manner new and novel;
Her father seized it with a sigh
And used it for a shovel
-Neto York Journal
AT last the gentle pastry cook
Composed some taffy-candy,
A club of which her father took
And used it playing handy.
And then she stirred pan of dough,
And made mess of biscuit
And passed them to her sweetheart though
He thought he wouldn't risk it.

Shc took some yeast and -four and lard,
And true to duty's call,
She baked them in a lump so hard
1t made good baseball.
Richmond Baton,
Some cookies next she deftly made,
All sugared round the edges:
Her pop lin the wood splitting business
Found they made stunning wedges.
Fail River Advance.
Bus when she called her pa to eat
Some just-constructed biscuit,
The old man said his life was sweet
He didn't dare torisk it.
-iSomeruille Journal.
Then next she made concrete bun,
Nodded with greatest care;
Her father rammed it in his gun
End was loaded then for bear.
Brooklyn Times
And then she made some nice doughnuts
And fried them well in fat;
Her father used them in the night
To plug the old Tomcat.
--Gorhanl Mot,Itaineer.
She made darling sponge-cake next,
And said no one could beat it;
A tough old goat got very veXed
Because he could not eat it.
-Hatchet.

HOPE AND FAITH.

Hope is the scented flower
Which, in the breast implanted,
Whe winds have swept the bosom's bower
still blossoms like thing enchanted
Lifes sweet inheritance and dover.
Faith is the steady spark
For journeying mortals lighted,
Still beaming starlike through the dark
On high where erst by sorrow lighted
And still where lifted eyes may mark.

A Zereba.


The zereba is native light barrlcade
constructed in the form of square,
and, by the Arabs, made of mimoSo
brush, piled with the prickly branches
outward, and built high enough to
make the offer to overlcap them i'm
practicable. The sharp, Jagged
branches present Il forbidding aspect to
the Arabs and blacks, who have no
taste for ilinging their naked bodies
against them. The great tactics of the
Arabs is to attack By crushing in the
hopo to ovcrwhelm, by the very impetus
of the assault. the waiting enemy. AS
a means of checking this crush" the
zereba has been found very effective,
and the English adopted the native en-
ample as n very excellent provision
against decisive charge from the enc

superficial fertilization flung up to
meet temporary requirement is now
referred to in the dispatches as Il 10
reba. 1t corresponds, in fact, to the
fencc-rail brcastworks and the light
earthworks thrown up by our own
troops in the war for the Union. The
principle OF construction Is very old
one, and it is a very good one in prim-
tive warfare where the serious fighting

ROOM AT THE TOP.
Success Waiting for Those Who
Have the Spirit and Ambition
to Achieve It.


lbHStlCtsl
An inventor, whose invention is of
practical benefit aud is used in almost
every printing Office in the United
States, in visiting our office recently,
made the following remark in course
of conversation: "rherc is Away S
room on the top shelf" The meaning
he intended to convey was that brains
and experience properly directed
would always find room for action.
Somebody wants the young man of
talent who wisely uses it, somebody
wants trained experience, somebody
wants men of nerve, energy and zeal.
There is market for men who
gravitate toward the top. In this
age of active work and competition
talent is not hid in napkin, as Of old
it is soon discovered, brought out.
utilized and made to do its full share
in this woodworking world.
Who are the men that climb to the
top? Are they of the dull, stupid
sort, lazy, improvident, careless! No,
no for these there is no topmost round
of fame, of wealth, of honor The
men who climb the hill of difficulty
are those of action, talent, skill, cx-
perience, work. Men who march
with firm tread and onward look, de-
termined to win victory. They are
patient also, not discouraged by de-
feats nor cast down by disasters, but
who, gathering up their strength and
energies, push on with resolule step.
Workers are the winners because
Nature and Providence alike are on
their side, Nature unfolds her secrets to
those who delve and labor to explore
her hidden mysteries, and providence
is always on the side of those who
try TO help themselves.
Waiting for bridge to carry us
over difficulties is lost opportunity.
Span the chasm by bridge of your
own strong will aud efforts, and the
obstacles quickly disappear. Self
made men are self-rcliant. They
never ask others to do for thcm what
they can do themselves. This strong
element in their character pushes
them to the front in commerce and in
all the varied pursuits of life.
Room on the top ever and always
for those who have the spirit aud am
bition to get there.

Russian Oil Producing Territory.


Although it has been estimated that
the area of oil-producing territory in
Russia measures fourteen thousand
square miles, the field at Daku is the
only one worked, and this covers a
space of three and half square miles
only. Its enormous output is said to
be sufficient for the requirements of the
world. Mr. Redwood happened to be
present when one of the wells was
opened. He says that mighty column
of oil spouted up to the height OF one
hundred feet, carrying big stones with
it, and that it continued gushing out
until a huge lake of petroleum was
formed. The product is refined on the
spot by process OF distillation, the
residue being used as fuel, both for
steamers on the Caspian and upon many
OF the Russian railways. The by-pro.
duets of the distllation, such as naph-
thaline, benzole. etc, meet with some
attention; but that branch of the manu-.
facture is at present in its infancy-M

The Grocer

The grocer loved charming girl.
As lovely as the day;
He wondered il she'd marry him.
And said, "Let Soap she may,
And straightway to her home he went,
Her lovely face to see,
EXclaimIng, "Ah, know full well,
That Cheese the girl for me-
The girl was very kind, and said
That she was very glad
To see him there, and then remarked
What a bad Coffee had.
And soon they got most intimate,
She let him kiss her brow,
But when he spoke OF marriage, said,
''0h, do not Teas me now"
The grocer's spirits fell at this,
lie felt as though he'd die,
And limited at Il suicide,I
While she Bacon to cry.
''Hou silly boy, you don't suppose
I'm blind to all your merits"
It's evident she knew way
OF Raisn up his "sperits."
But true loves course did ne'er run smooth;
But father saw them kiss,
And kicked him from the room, and said,
You Biscuit out of this"
And thus adjured, he soon got out,
1t hardly need be said;
And, tumblng headlOng down the stairs,
Mustard-ly hit his head.

SO roughly handle u.s."
Thus spoke the girl, and father said

Papa relented when he saw
His child begin to cry;

My daughter. SodaI
