Much Too Previous.

Winfred Preston sends the Herald
very pretty poem indicative of power
ful imagination, which is an excellent
quality in poet. 1t is entitled The
Springtime," and commences
The weary winter now is Ger
which We are not at all prepared to adj
nit
The verdant trees show that It's spring;
And know st thou not that in the woods
The thrushes sweetly sing?
No, Winfred. we don't know any
thing of the kind. In some other neck
of woods, Winfred.
Once more the violet spes its eyes
Possibly, but under the disadvantage
of seeing nobody by reason of six or
eight feet of superintendent snow
And scents with sweet perfume the air,
And other flowers now. ere long,
viii spring UP ev rywhere-
they'll be fools if they do, Winfred.
And back from many a distant part
The joyous birds are on the wing.
Geese, every one of them.
So bid farewell to winter then
which is Just what we want TO do, but
the villain still pursues us
And hail tn returning spring.
No end of hail, but precious little re-
turning spring. The poem is all right.
Winfred. 1t is sweet young thing,
but, Lord bless YOU. it is altogether too
previous and precocious. If you don t
think so start out and find a few wood
violets and sit in drift until you hear
the thrushes sing.-Chicago Herald

Mr.. W. F. Gum, whose reception was OF the

excellence of Prof Baier's numbers was the
rsttling of one Of the windows in the house
when a certain key was struck. 1t is not
often such effects are produced in this city,
or such combinations made on that noble iu-
strument, the pipe organ, as were brought out
by this gentleman last evening, aed never
were encores more pumerously or suitably
bestowed; or responded 10 with more good
will and courtesy. The same is true of Mr..
Gums tenor solos. The gentleman was in
good voice and seemed inspired TO his best
efforts 10y the presence and marked favor OF
his host Of friends in Springfield. He was
accompanied on either organ or piano by Mr..
Bsier, with exception Of one encore song, in
which be was his owl ccDmpaDist on the

The numerous cases OF horse stealing this
winter have aroused the farmers all over this
country to adopt some more effective measure
for their protection than heretofore. The
various viglance committees, have, so far,
proved of no avail. Tue latest thing in the
shape of committee was organized last Fri
day night, at Jones school house, east OF
town, aud already numbers twenty-sx men,
bers. Each person on joinIng pays $500 in
10 the treasury. TIE members are divided
into squads Of eight or zen men who take
turns in doing duty. When ever a h0se is
stolen the entire committee may, but those
who are on duty must drop all other work
and pursue the thiet until all further efforts
become plainly useless. While SO occupied
they viii be paid certain sum per day out
OF the genlr rsl treasury. II the horse is not
recovered within two months. three men will
be appointed who will appraise the horse
stolen and the owner will receive out OF the
treasury 90 per cent OF the appraised value.
Il the horse should be recovered but has been
damaged or blemished in any manner, such
damage will be appraised and the owner re-
ceIve 80 Fer cent. Of tsSsppraisement.

The Latest in Carving Knives.

Among carving-knives the old-fash-
ioned nine-inch straight blades have
given place to a variety of shapes, the
cutting edges generally describing
some part of circle. A variation of a
Turkish cimeter is The most popular
blade. For steak or game a six-inch
knife is used. while the turkey or fami-
ly roast cannot be attacked with bet
ter implement than ten-inch blade.
For some reason, known only to them
selves, the carvcrs in hotels and res
taurants are still faithful to the ''slic-
er." blunt-pointed, perfectly straight
blade which has the appearance of an
overgrown case-knife. 1t varies in
length from twelve to sixteen inches,
and is so flexible that one can almost
tie knots in it. An oddity in the cut
lery stock is the jointing carver. de-
signed for separating the joints of
poultry and game of doubt ul age. The
blade is long and very narrow steel,
with an almost needle point lineage

Flashing Fire from his Scarf-Pin.

A lively young man with a red mus
tache entered 4 NaSsau-street eating
house yesterday and took seat. He
wore a black neck-scarf. into which
was thrust an odd looking pin. A pretty
waiter-girl came up, and while brush
ing away the crumbs from behind the
guest asked for his order.
You may bring me some Boston
baked
The young woman did not hear the
conclusion of the sentence, for a brill
liant light flashed from the odd scarf
pin and frightened her so much that
she nearly tainted. The young man
glanced up with look of mild sur
prise. and said: Are YOU faint?'
The waitress hurried off to the
kitchen. TIE head of the house. a
man whose scanty gray hair and full
beard are well known to those who at
tend the uptown temperance meetings

preached. He put the pepper bottle
back in the easter, picked up dough-
nut from the floor, and was about to
make an observation upon the supe-
riority of his squash pies, when fire
again flashed from the young mans
scarf-pin.
wha-what is the matter
with your neck-tie?" he suffered,
looking at the young man in a startled
manner. 1T was on fire Just now."

INJURED the latter, with smile. '.Any
trouble with it now?'
No. can't see that there is, but"
The fire again became luminous and
shone with a brllliancy never equaled
by any diamond.

One of the most startling projects of
the times is to illuminate the Atlantic
Ocean by means of electric lights
actually to make "a path of silver
light" across the water from the banks
of Newfoundland to the shores of Ire
land. Ten vessels are to be anchored
at distance OF 200 miles from another
in a straight line, each riding at "a
mushroom anchor. which permits the
vessels swinging around with the tide
without fouling her anchor" These
light ships are also to be connected to-
gether and to the shore by an electric
cable, and be able to send messages to
any part of the world.
