TO LIVE, TO LOVE, TO DIE.

In beautiful land. by heaveu-lit sea,
Lo, these were the gifts OF God To men,
Three wonderful giits-ay, more than three.
To live, to love, to die--and then?
To live, to feel the mighty thrill
Ola vital force through nerve and vein:
To think, to know, to move, to will
And rule world from Il human brain
To love with JOY as keen pain,
With power that holds cen death at bay,
With love that brings to life again
Dead hopes that have slept for many day.
There is something sweet in cen the hour
That hangs the blacklist before the day;
For we look beyond the gloomS that lower
And hail the dawn zone away.
And them Appeareth not what then shall be
Our sight is too short we cannot scan
The lar horizon, where the boundless sea
Rolls Ireighted with countless gifts for man.
What then it will be to simply live
Is more than human heart can know,
When deathless forces we shall receive,
And immortal powers through us shall flow.
What then" shall be to us TO live,
With perfect love that shall make in one
The parted spirits that meet above,
And blend like mists that seek the sun.
n, we have not learned, ana shall no: know
Till we master the lesson God giveth here.
To live, to love, TO die below,
Then rise to the things that shall appear

OUR OVERsHOEs.


Where the Rubber Comes From and How
1t Is Prepared.
Nearly all of the rubber used comes
from Brazil and Central America. Para
is the largest rubber export market in
the world, and Its dealers grow opulent
IN a few YEAS. The rubber trees grow
upon the banks of the sluggish Para
river, and for miles inland on both sides,
but tor lack of roads or other means of
access, it is never gathered except along
the banks. The method of obtaining it
IS very primitive. With the soft clay
which the natives scoop from the river
bank rude cup or trough is moulded.
This they fasten to the side of the tree
with long twigs and vines, and as the
clay hardens it adheres to the bark.
Above this cup they cut a hole into the
tree with an axe resembling a carpen-
ter's adze.
The sap or gum, which is of a gray
color and almost tastelesS, oozes into the
cup. and when it is full the native dips
quantity out with the blade of his pad
die and holds it over smoldering fire OF
Brazilian nuts, which he has previously
kindled and which sends forth volumes
of smoke. This accounts for the smoky
odor emitted from all crude rubber. The
heat from the fire serves to harden the
gum, and when a sufficient quantity has
accumulated on the paddle they cut it
off and it is thrown into baskets. These
pieces are termed ..'bottles" and "bis.
cults" When the raft is loaded it is
padded down the river to Para, where
it is weighed, boxed and shipped north.
In making shoes the rubber is taken
from the storehouse, weighed, washed
and dried, and when perfectly free from
moisture goes to the Compromising
room," where French zinc, sulphur,
whiting, litharge, bolted chalk, lamp
black, hard and soft tar and shoddy are
added 10 the pure gum, when the
'batch," as it is termed, goes to the
grinding ROOM" "Shoddy,' which
enters so largely into the compound, is
made from old rubber shoes and boots,
ground up, with all cloth and fbrous
substances carefully eliminated. The
whole, by the process OF grinding, is
worked together into large sheet and is
then taken to the calender ROOM"
The calender machine consists OF
three ponderous hollow steel rolls sup
ported by two cast-iron uprights, which
are securely bolted to the floor. These
rolls are turned by means of compli-
Gated series of underground gears
"mashing" into each other, which are
adjusted with skill and scientific nicely.
The cloth to be coated for cement gar
ments, that is to say garments whose
seams are cemented together, is fastened
to the lower roll. Hot water passes
through the two upper rolls, and be-
tween them the rubber compound is
pressed. The hot water passing through
the rolls keeps the rubber pliable, and
after the machine is started the pressure
upon the preparation by the two rolls
causes it 10 spread in a thin sheet, and
when it comes in contact with the cloth
coats it.
