NEARING THE END.


I'm growing old; the hopes and fears,
That waged an ever varying strife,
No more awaken smiles and tears,
Disturbing my serener life.
The ardent love, the jealous throe,
Which burned and ragged without surccase,
Have left me and gentler glow
or sweet contentment brings me peace.
Strong passion owns my reasons sway;
Calm pleasure comes where loves bestowed
And quiet friendship soothes my way
Along life's peaceful autumn road.
No unknown future threatens ILL
No fierce ambition drives me on;
] gaze from life's sublimest hill
On dangers past and victories won.
What though my natural powers decay
My lessening time makes less demand
The labor done at close of day,
The farmer resting views his land.
And sees the harvest waving fair,
The ridgy rows with plenty filled;
Sees fruitful fields erst barrens bare,
The barrens bare his hands have titled,
So looks lifes landscape to my eyes;
My earthly work is nearly done,
A calm comes to me from the skies,
As slowly sinks life's setting sun.
Jesse II. LOrd.

Bricks in Fanoiful Forms.

Col. John Hay is building a mansion on
the corner of Sixteenth and II streets.
The house when completed will be nota-
BILE one, as affording a fine illustration of
what can be done with brick in the way of
ornamentation. The architect has drawn
designs for most of the brick which will
be used, and these have been made from the
designs The bricks in the walls will be
fourteen inches long, instead of the ordin-
airy length, nine inches The arches and
ornamentation over the door will be COM
posed of bricks made according to special
designs The pillars which are intro
duced will be composed of rounded brick.
Large bricks, octagonal in shape, fan
shaped, and of variety of designs, will
be set in the walls, giving a richness and
variety which will be very effective. The
side of the house on Sixteenth street will
be made especially rich in ornamental
work, yet at the same time the effect will
be substantial and solid.
While some stone work will be used in
thu foundations, yet the real effectiveness
in these particulars will be secured by the
brickwork, and will demonstrate the fit
ness of the use of brick even in building
where solidity instead of hghtness is the
design sought for.

Value and Cost of Food.
LChicago Tribune.l

Professor w. o. Atwater, in a recent
meeting of agriculturists, pointed out that
"a very large part of the expenses of Hy-
ing is the cost of food, and yet little is gen.
orally known of its real worth for sus.
tanning the body. A pound of beef and
a quart of milk each contains about the
same quantity of nutrients. yet they are
not of equal value practically because the
quality of the nutrients is not alike. We
are all largely governed by taste. The
rich may be so guided, but the poor must

an beef we often pay so much for bone
and gristle that the nutrients, particu-
larry the protein, cost more than they are
worth Protein, as found in lean meat
eggs, beans and other albuminous foods,
is the most costly food-essential we buy.
It usually costs less in fish than in beef,
less In wheat -four than in potatoes, and
less in vegetable than in animal foods.
Our bodies require flesh forming food to
supply the waste of the muscles, and fat
and starch to keep us warm and to keep
the body supplied with its necessary store

Living High on a Paper of Needles.
1.-THE Rivouanl

After the battle of Chickamauga, one of
"our mess" found a needle-cas which
had belonged to some poor fellow, proba-
bly, among the killed. He did not place
much value upon the contents, although
there was paper of No. 8 needles, sew
eral buttons, and a skein or two of thread,
cut at each end and neatly braided, so
that each thread could be smoothly drawn
out. He put the whole thing in his
breast pocket, and thought no more about
it. But one day, while out foraging for
himself and his mess, he found himself
near house where money could have pro-
cured fine meal of fried chicken, corn
pone and buttermilk, besides a small sup
ply to carry back to camp. But Confed-
crate soldiers purses were generally as
empty as their stomachs, and, in this in
stance, the lady of the house did not offer
to give away her nice dinner. While the
poor fellow was inhaling the enticing odor
and feeling desperately hungry, a girl
rode up to the gate on horseback, and
bawled out to another girl inside the
house:
40, Cindy, rid over to see if you
couldn't lend me a needle. l broke the
last one l had to-day, and pap says thar
amt nary mother to be bought in the
country hereabouts.
Cindy declared she was in the same fix,
and couldn't finish her new homespun
dress for the same reason
The soldier just then had an idea. He
retired to little distance, pulled out his
case, and stuck two needles in the front of
his jacket, then went back and offered
one of them, with his best bow to the
girl on the horse. Right away the lady
of the house offered to trade for the one
remaining, and the result was plentiful
dinner for himself, and, in consideration
of thread or two of silk, full haver-
sack and canteen After this our mess
was well supplied and our forager began
to look sleek and fat The secret of his
success did not leak out till long after
wards, when he astonished the boys by
declaring that he "had been living like
fighting cock on paper of needles and
two skeins of silk "

THE ART OF oILINe SHOES.
A BOotbIacl Tells the Secret-Why Ker-
Osene Oi1-BarreIs Are Painted Blue.
ICIhicapo News

[Chicago News.l
A one-armed bootblack having taken
the contract to oil the shoes of a re-
porter, after the preliminary brushing
began by rubbing the leather with a wet
cloth. When asked what it was for he
explained; when l began this bust
ness, " said the operator, pausing mo-
ment to cast an admiring glance at the
high, aristocratic arch of the newsgath-
erer's instep, II used to keep on rubbing
the oil into the leather until a man
told me to stop / thought they'd
know when they had enough and
wanted to give satisfaction. Some of my
customers complained that the oil soaked
through their boots and saturated their
socks. l thought perhaps I had been
putting on too much oil, but the same
fault was found in several cases where l
had been more careful Finally an old
shoemaker whom | knew came along
and asked him what / ought to do to
save my trade He told me never to oil
shoe until had wet it first The reason
was that the water would penetrate the
leather and, remaining there, keep the oil
from soaking through Besides the water
would soften the leather and open it so
that the oil would do the leather more
good. My trade has prospered ever since.
Z" l was oiling man up one day and he
asked the same question you did. When
/ explained the reason he SAID that was
on the same principle as that of paint
ing kerosene oil barrels. told him
1 thought they were painted blue
just to look nice. He said it was
to prevent the barrels from leak
ing During a long voyage or long
journey by rail sometimes half barrel of
oil would leak through the pores of the
wood and evaporate. So some sharp fell
low began to study some way of prevent
ing such loss. He first painted the barrel
blue on the outside and then filed it with
water and allowed it to stand until it had
soaked up all it would. Then the oil
was put in The water kept the oil from
soaking in the wood, and the paint on the
outside kept the water from coming out.
He got patent on his discovery, and now
he sits in his Office and draws his royalty
of cent on every barrel made to hold ker-
osene oil for shipment. He's got a
mighty soft thing on oil-barrels
BY this time the master of the art of
oiling, having rubbed quart bottle of
neats-foot oil into the reporters $15 gait
ers, rested from his labors, and gracefully
accepted the half dollar which was dropped
into his palm
