Through the Trees.

Could m axe her face so fair to see,
If had known her shy And f.
Could make him stoop so tentlerlY--
had not come: / had rot come.
But what know II The summer breeze
Stopped not TO cry, "Beware beware!'
The vine wreaths dropping from the trees 49,
Caught not my sleeve with soft Take care
And so l came; and SO came.
The roses that his hands have plucked
Are sweet to me- are death to me;
Between them. as through living flames
l pass / clutch them, crush them, seei
The bloom for her, the thorn for me.
The brooks leap up with many song
/ once could sing like them could sing.
They fall It's like sigh among
A world of joy and bossoming--
Why did comet Why did comet
The blue sky burns like altar fires
How sweet her eyes beneath her hair.
The green earth lights it's fragrant pyres;
The wild birds rise and flush the air;
God looks and smiles earth is so fair.

Two Bonded heads pass darkng by;
And loud above the bird and brook

An Anger to Bore u Square Hole.

The first and only aueer ever manufactured
that will bore square hoe is now in the shops
of the Cleveland Machine Company This au-
ger bores twoinch square hole the siaa used
In ordinary frame buildings and barns, but they
can be made on the same principle to bore square
holes of any size. Its application is ordinary
and works on the same principle as round hole
augers. Its end, instead of having screw or
hit has q cam motion which oscillates cutter
mounted on steel rocking knife which cuts on
both sides. In order to prevent the splintering
OF the wood the ends of the cutter are provided
with small semi-circular shaped saws which help
in cutting out perfectly square corners 1t is es-
timated that this new process will save the labor
of three men who work with chsels as one man
can conveniently cnt u twonch mortico in the
same length of time he can bore round hole

A Thought.

Back and forth across the wool of years
The shuttle of each life the weaver throws
And here and there small bits whence one
knows
Link with the thread the mystic pattern weaving
Then lose themselves amid the smiles and tears
Which or the web are lights and shadows leaving.
We heed them not-those fragments interlacing
With ours some life that crossed path one day
$50 many seems the tangled threads that stray)
Until amazed we pause some figure tracing
Thrown up in bold relief and see and know
The thread whose worth we failed to understand,
But now whose wonderous beauty serves to show
The matchless wisdom of the Master Hand.

NO OCCASION TO FEEL BAD.
A Little Miss Attending Her Fathers Second
Marriage.


Marriage.
Boston Globe.
Hattie M, the daughter of Boston clergy
man. was permitted to attend the ceremony of
her fathers second marriage, and, under the
care of her auntie, travelled part Of the way
with the newly we'd led couple-who had deter
mined that no one should suspect the recent
ceremony by any act of consciousness on their
part. In the meantime the terrible child had
left her seat, unobserved, and as the train came
to stand still. amid the usual silence at sucn
time the shriil small voice was heard distinctly
from the end of the car
''Tve got beautiful new mamma. I've got
her today Want to see herl She's over there
pointing with fearful exactness at the blushng
bridet That's my beautiful new mammal The
old ones dead and gone to heaven-spose this
onell be dead pretty soon, and then I'll have two
up therel" At this point the small informant
was suddenly arrested and taken to her seat by
the mortified atintie in charge. while the last
words audible to the passengers were: 'Why
auntie. you needn't feel so bad! guess they're
all glad enough to hear bout my beautiful new
mammal"

A Good Word for the women of Fashion,

Let the crusade against cruelty be as vigorous
as possible, but do not let the much abused "wo-
man of fashion" be made the scapegoat of every
iniquity. Many kind and innocent face beams
beneath the winged jewel that was once bird
just as many true and tender heart beats behind
the shelter of furs that were originally given by
God to warm some noble wild animal The
women who wear birds are not necessarily more

form of cruelty and ignore the other

Every Point in Her Favor.

1t was i'll an East Boston ferry horse

ing up. He weighed over two hundred
pounds, and was sitting in the corner by
the rear door. Suddenly he jumped from
his seat to ask the conductor a question.

thought he meant to leave the car, and
so she slid into the seat he had just va
Gated. Soon he concluded the inter-
view with the conductor and began to
slide back into his seat again. The lit
tie woman saw the proportions of the
bulky form gradually assuming fright
full magnitude and very alarming prox-
unity. Quickly digging her elbow into
the ribs of her neighbor, whose head
and beard looked like bundle of saff-
ron, she interested him sufficiently in
the jeopardy of her situation to induce
him to raise his colossal fist and .'fend
off the settling monster. Words can
not picture the look of horror upon the
mans face when he received a vigorous
thrust in the small of his back, and
turned and saw this little wee woman
in his seat. "Great Scott, ma am! Yer

The Tooth Factory.

The domain of the dentist is about to
be disputed. A great discovery has
been made which will revolutionize the
whole business and emancipate the suf-
ferers. A factory has been established,
with plenty of capital to back it, for the
purpose of making artificial teeth by
machinery. All that any one who is
troubled with his teeth will have to do
will be to get them all pulled out. Then
he can purchase a brand new, machine
made set and be exempt from toothache
all the rest of his life. There is, of
course, nothing new in the making and
using of artificial teeth, but it will be
easily seen that the manufacture by ma
chinery presents great advantages.
When the making of watches by ma
chinery was started there were many
protests that the new way would never
be as good as the old. But the exact
ness soon attained, and the convenience
of having the parts interchangeable,
brought about revolution, and the
factory watches now rank above the
handmade. The same advantages will
be had in the factory teeth. If one set
gets broken, or comes out, an exactly
similar one can be ordered from the
factory at very small cost If the plate
gets cracked it can be replaced in the
same way All that will be necessary
will be to give the number of the plate,
and a new one, precisely like the old,
will be sent by return mail.-N. Y. Mail
and Erpress.

The Young Man Who Took a Ridiculous
Method of Winning a Bet.
The car was going down French s
hill, and there were few jovial passen-
gers aboard. At Prospect street lady
got out. Ayoung man, who, with a
few of his friends, were having bit of
quiet fun and had evidently been enjoy
ing themselves, said: "I'll bet cigars
for the crowd that I'll stop the car with
out ringing the bell, speaking to the
driver or conductor or asking anyone
to stop it.
20, you'll go outside and slap hold of
the brake. You're too smart, you are, !"
remarked one of his companions, smi-
lingly. You'll cut yourself if you dom t
mind
.No, stree, IN do no such thing. I'll
neither touch the brake, nor ask any,
one to touch it for me, and won't ask

Analysis of Soil.

The fertility of the soil is governed by
the proportion of fine impalpable pow
der. which exists in it, this powder alone
acting directly upon vegetable growth,
which it does by entering the roots in
solution with the water and acids with
which it comes in contact. Put into q
large (about a foot and half long)
glass tube the soil to be examined, the
sample to he all the soil removed in
digging hole two inches square by
eight inches deep in any part of the
land to be tested. then ill the tube half
full of water and vigorously shake the
whole until the contents are well mixed,
and afterward allow it to settle. The
heavy grains sink first, layers will be
formed, the most fine and impalpable
being nearest the top, the amount Of
which will OF course govern the degree
of the fertility of the sample and an M
telligent inspection of the different
layers win allow any one to form
pretty accurate analysis Of the sell from
which the sample waa taken. Sass
