HOW THE WORK GOES ON.

Tofling on mid the ripened grain
OF the yellow and bending fields,
Many skillful laborer
A glancing sickle Yields.
Shineth the sun at morning hour
On busy hearts and hands,
The noontide glow and westering beams
Light a myriad tOiling bands.
NOR tarrleth long enough the day
For the zeal of these workers true;
In the morn's clear light and in somber night
They are found at their tasks anew.
Are these reapers unwearied, of stalwart
strength,
And forms OF giant mold?
Does the harvest they CLEAN bring rich return
In wealth of shining goldl
Why, look we well! They are womankind
Who are toiling night and day,
And the harvest gains they eagerly crave
Are the souls of men, they say.
Where the demon of drink battle has
gained,
And men have gone down in the fight,
Where youthful hosts, unscathed as yet,
The enemy's blows invite;
Where tears are flowing, and hearts are rent
And desolate homes stand somber and
grim;
Where Heaven bends low if souls repent
Where He leadeth they follow Him.
With head and heart and hand they work,
With word persuasive, with song and
prayer,
With dauntless endeavor and spirit brave
To rescue the fallen they all things dare.
When the sheaves are gathered, and the gar
nered grain
is safe from the blight and the blasting
storm
With the women's Reaping-a record

Ninety Barrels a Day.

There is distillery in Massachu-
sets, ''the largest rum distillery in,
the world" so says an eyewitness
to the following account, and ''the
amount manufactured averages ninety
barrels day, some for home
consumption, but the greater part for
export to the coast of Africa. The
barrels contain forty-three gallons, and
the internal revenue tax is ninety cents
per gallon - thirty-eight dollars and
seventy cents barrel. For ninety
barrels, a days work, the Treasury of
the United States is enriched So, 483,
minus the cost of the services of rev.
enue watchmen. That the Govern
ment shall not be defrauded farthing
of the ungodly gain, or one drop of the
fire water may not be lost, Govern
ment padlocks are placed upon
the rum reservoirs, guarded and
opened daily for measurement, by
internal revenue officers" Ninety

A Painful Operation Rendered Almos

quently resulting in death. 1t is some
times due to inflammation, which in
creases the natural secretion of the
parts, and sometimes to distractions of
the blood-vessels, causing their disten-
ton and a leakage, or oxidation of the
watery parts of the blood through their
walls. The fluid is generally thin,
limpid and colorless, or slightly yellow.
or, more rarely, gelafnous and turbid.
When it is due to inflammation, it tends
to become purulent and fetid. A secret
ing membrane covers the lungs, and,
turning back, lines the sides of the
chest, thus forming closed cavity. A
similar one lines every closed cavity of
the body, and secretes thin, lubri-
eating fluid which prevents all friction
between adjacent parts. This fluid is
called serum. All cavities which open
into the outer world - the mouth,
stomach, intestines, bladder, etc.-are
mucus, thicker fluid. A serum
secreting membrane, similar to that
which invests the lungs, lines the sac
(pericardium) that encloses the heart,
also the entire cavity of the abdomen,
all the Joints of the body, and equally
covers and surrounds the brain, dip
ping down into and lining its ventricles
and convolutions. Thus, in pleurisy,
''water" may so accumulate between
the chest and the lungs as not only to
impede but wholly prevent the action
of the latter between the heart and its
sac, so as to interfere with the action
both of the heart and the lungs within
the abdomen, to the amount sometimes
of gallons within the joints, especially
of the knee, and upon the brain, or
within its ventricles.
Tapping the brain has long been
practised, to the great relief of the pa
tent, though temporary, as, the cause
remaining, the water rapidly accumu-
lates again. But it is not yet twenty
years since the invention of the ''aspi-
rator," a great advance on the so-called
''trocar." 1t is hollow needle-the
finest only one-fftieth of an inch in di-
ameter-attached to rubber tube, the
latter connected with glass syringe
having a piston, stop-cocks and a dis
charging tube. The hollow needle
penetrating to the fluid, the working of
the piston creates vacuum, when the
fluid rises up into the instrument and
flows out through the tube. By using

An Organization Formed to Ascertain

piers and Gamblers to he "Weeded

The merchants of Chicago are organ
izing a detective association to learn
the private habits of their employees,
and propose to tweed OUT gamblers
and tipplers. 1t may be that such a
measure has become necessary, but we
can hardly believe that the large ma
jority of clerks are untrustworthy.
The end sought might perhaps be ac-
complished at less expense and much
more satisfactorily by combined eff
fort on the part of employers to re-
move the temptations which beset their
clerks and providing for them innocent
recreation, Saturday half-holiday, etc.
But here is what one of the members
says about the new organization:

THE FRENCH PREMIER.
The Remarkable Political Career of NJ. de
Freycinet.


Charles Louis de Saulces de Frey
cinet was born at Folk (Ariege) on
November IA, 1928. He studied at the
Ecole Polytechnique, and upon his
graduation he practiced as an engineer
and Director of the Service of the
Southern of France Railway.
In August, 1870, he was gazetted an
officer of the Legion of Honor, and
after the fall of the Empire, on the 4th
of September of that year, he was
nominated by Gambetta Project of the
Department of Tarn and Garonne. On
October lobe became Chief of the Mill
tary Cabinet of the Government of
National Defense at Tours and acquitted
himself ably of his functions during this
trying time.
In 1876 he was returned to the Senate
with comfortable majority in the De-
partment of the Seine, and on December
IA following he became Minister of
Public Works in the Dufaure Cabinet.
M. de Freycinet retained his portfolio
as a member of the Washington Min
istry when M. Grevy succeeded Marshal
de MacMahon as President on February
4, 1879. In December, 1879, he became
Premier and Minister of Foreign At
fairs. Next September he gave place to
to M. Jules Ferry. In 1882 he was again
made Prime Minister but fell in conse-
quence of his unsatisfactory policy with
regard to the Egyptian question. Given
the opportunity of cooperating with
England in its solution he failed to take
advantage of the opportunity. He was
chosen as Premier again upon the Ton
quin disaster of M. Ferry last March
but failed to form Cabinet. When the
Brisson Cabinet was formed, April 6,
he received the portfolio of Minister of
Foreign Affairs. Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE "CHESTNUT."

Tho joke may be old and toothess and bald,
1t is able to amble about,
And ever is willing to come when it's called,
For twill never, no never, wear out.
The moss-covered jokes which our infancy
knew,
Still are merrily fitting around;
They cheer up fellow whene'er he feels
blue,
Often making the rafters resound.
Let all hyper-crtical pessimists cease
Crying Chestnut" whenever they hear
A joke that's as ancient as Athens in Greece,
Just so long as it tickles the ear!
Old Jokes, like old friends, are forever the
best,
And we're fond of these fossils of fun;
Then let us enjoy the old 'chestnuts" with
Zest,
For there's nothing new under the sun.
