Sleep.
BY SEATON DONOHO.

The angel of Sleep hath kissed her
And soothed her to dreamless rest,
And beautiful Love, her sister,
Lies close to her happy breast.
And something that Love has told her
Yet shines on her placid face,
A something whose charm shall hold her
Like song in haunted place.
The mOonbeams alone may see her,
The zephyrs alone come near.
And Love, who sleeps not, shall be her
Protector from all OF fear.

Build little fence of trust
Around to-day;
Fill the place with loving works
And therein stay.
Look not through its sheltering bars
Upon tomorrow;
God will help thee bear what comes.

The Suicide Mania.

A compilation made by the Insur
ance Chronicle presents many curl
Gus features of the suicide mania, as
follows: The suicides as reported in
the papers for four years, number g..
283. OF this number All were maid.
ems and 1,3l5 bachelors. The signifi.
canoe OF this feature is lost when it is
shown that 2,O53 husbands and but
sos wives put themselves out of the
way. AS maid or wife the women have
the best of it sThe wldowers who
found life a burden number 2sS and
the widows who sought voluntary
graves number 1913. OF the total
number 7SO were farmers. and about
one in every 1000 is the ratio among
journalists, commercial travellers and
saloonkeepe,s. The time Of year chos-
en- by 635 persons to put themselves
out OF the way was themonth OF June.
The favorite age was thirty-fve years
and Indiana had the largest number
OF any state in the Union. The rea-
sons assigned for some of the suicides
are silly in the extreme, and some OF
the methods employed uniquely hor-
rible. One woman killed herself be-
cause her mother did, and another be-
cause she had pin,ple on her nose.
Such people could do the world no
possible good anyway. One young
woman killed herself because her par
ents would not allow her to become
a Mormon, and a New Yorker shot
himself because he hadn't nickel to
put in the collection box at church.
Life must have been "an empty
dream to him. Several persons died
in lnca'culable agony by jumping into
fiery furnaces, and Others saturated
their clothing with kerosene oil and
set it on FIRE. Still others clumsily
sought death by crawling back and
forth through barbed wire fences, en-.
failing great suffering, until they died
from exhaustion, and others drove
spikes through their brains. Shoot
ing was the most popular method en-
ployed, with poison good second.
The most unique example was that Of
q man who impaled himself on his
woodenleg.

The Late Richard M. Hoe.

New York Letter: The death OF the
late Richard M. Hoe calls our atten-
ton to the rrinting-press fact Dry,
which is the best known establishment
on the east side OF New York. Every
body, indeed, has heard of the Hoe
presses, but If the reader were to seek
the place OF their construction he
would find it amid that dense popula-
ton which fills the vast area between
the Bowery and the East river. Ar
irving at the spot, one will at once be
startled by its immensely. An entire
square lat Grand and Sheriff streets)
is occupied, and the area is not less
than four acres, which in New York is
o great deal of land. The offices are
large, and yet such is the number Of
clerks and draughtsmen that there is
no room to spare; and thence you
may pass across the courtyard to the
factory itself, where hundreds of arti-
sans find employment. Hereare built
printing presses that cost $4,000,
and which yield q profit OF from So
600 to $4,000; but it is slow task,
and as no one else can build them
.:.gh profits are natural result. Tie
Hoe establishment is the only place
il? this city which can boast of calls
from the greatest brain workers ofthc
metropolis. In former days The senior
Bennett and Moses Y. Beach and
Horace Greeley went thither to in
spect machinery, and latterly the
present Bennett and Dana, and also
Pulitzer, have stood side by side to
inspect the latest improvements. This
fac5 alone is enough to give the place
distinction.
Progress in the manufacture O;
printing presses was slow to an as
tonishing degree until the opening OF
thepleseEt century Franklln's press,
which is now i'll the patent office at
Washington, is but little better than
the earliest made-whose date was
three centuries previous-an the most
rapid workmen could not exceed 200
impressions an hour. Inventions were
made in England and in Germany.
which brought steam into use, this be-
ing first adopted by the London Times
in 1914. Isaac Adams was at the
same time making improvements in
this country, but Richard N. Hoe dis
tanced the extreme of expectation
when he built the first rotary cylinder
press in 1s47. The plan Of q revolv-
Ing cylinder had been invented by Mich
olson in England many years previ-
ously, but it was utterly impracticable
until remodelsd by Hoe. Since then
it has been continually improved, un.
til the present degree OF perfection has
been attained.

Ths volcano on Flrld.

A correspondent writing from Volcano
says: Pontious & Stiles have completed
arrangements to drill deep well, and as
soon as the weather permits will com.
menCs their enterprise on Pole Cut lease,
Of West Virginia tract. The Mount Farm
Company will also drill deep well. The
general opinion is that we have the best
oil territory in the United States. So far,
only the surface or shale oils have been
produced. Many Of the operators are too
poor TO drill for deep oil, and wells that
have been drilled have never been over
1900 feet. 10 drill a deep well, 1000 to
1900 feet, requires q considerable outlay
Of capital, and operators have been wait.
ing for the companies that own the land
to make tests or grant such terms that
will compensate and induce the leBeeB to
deyelope. The great difficulty has resulted
from high-priCed oils, ct the time leases
were taken, lesses giving one.third royalty
and mourning all expenses. Now the very
low price OF oils will not enable q further
risk, consequently we hsve,a great decline
in operations and many parties have been
obliged TO forfeit their leases and retire /;
others who have good paying wells con.
tinue to produce, but not extend.

Miss Maggie McPeek, Of GAINESVILLE,

for years been earning her living by max
ing hair work for ladies, She Is . deyout
Christian, but made no parade Of her re-
ligion. Last summer she met with an &C.
cident while on the street, being knocked
down by a passing buggy and having
her collar bone broken, She survived the
injury, but her arm was left almost use
less. 1t was stiff at the shoulder, and
from the elbow to the hand the
nerves seemed to bs injured and the
arm was In constant motion, and could be
held still only with difficulty and
with great pain to the unfortunate woman
In this condition she continued until last
December, when her arm seemed to be
growing worse, and being q poor woman
the prospect before her seemed gloomy
indeed. Realizing her entire help,
lessness, she resorted to prayer, and
she says that almost instantly the
pain disappeared and abe was able to use
her arm, and since that time has had nc
