BY JOHN VANCE CHENEY.
You've climbed steep but have you gone
Up Atlas with Endymion-
Been with him. there, as sung of old.
Him and his mooned focks a-cold?
You've seen the sun come up and bound
The east with bolt of red and gold;
You've seen, but have you trod. that ground,
The dancing-ground of the early dawn
Have you won those heights next the sun.
Where the wild haired Bacchantes run?
You know the wood, but have you seen
Camilla IN her tiger skin,
With arrow and with javelin
You know the green fields and the trees,
But know you their dfvinities?
Do you draw as close as mortal can,
Dance with the nym obs that dance with Pan?
You know by note the wild bird song,
Where shadows lay them deep and long.
But what of that one song that dies
Upon the grave where Orpheus lies?
You know the dews that I'LL and shine
In scented fields with sleeping kline,
But the amber that is wept upon
The DO iy of young PhaetOn?
The lily and the violet
You've seen, and plucked, and loved them, yet
There may be left the flowers to see
That on the plain of Emma be.
You know the music and the mirth
When spring comes singing back TO earth;
But Bacchus fiuting meath the vine
Know you that song and dance divine?
Aye, every field and every wood,
The singing stream the signing hill
You love them as q lover should:
But there b. pleasures sweeter still
Along the viewless Upper Ways
The poet trod in olden days.
There never is fair shape found
But music floats il round and round,
And fairest things that eye can see
Aye come and go In melody,
Until he last dull, halting thought
Is by the rapture swift upcaught,
And we do come q part to be
OF what we feel and hear and see.

ChiInneys.
From the Locomotive.

A we'll proporti ned chimney, Of neat
design, from 200 to 800 feet high, is al
ways an imposing structure and an or
nament to large manufacture, g estab-
lishmenr, but it may well be questioned
if it is ever wor b while to build them
over $50 feet high. Where cost is no
consideration there is no objection to
building them as high as one pleases;
but for the purely ilitarian purpose of
steam making, we have yet to find q
case where it was necessary to build a
chimney more than $50 feet high, and
in many cases where this heighth has
heen reached, equally good results
might have been attained with shorter
chimney at not much more than one
half the COST
For example, a chimney IS needed for
a large battery of boilers. 1t is decided
that chimney with a hue 10 feet in
diameter and $50 feet hixh will be about
right, and it is built. his is perfectly
satisfactory, but it should be borne in
mind that exactly the same results
would have been attained at not over
two-thirds the cost by making the hue

reached to produce draught of sufficient
intensity to burn fine, hard coal, pro-
vided the area Of the chimney is large
enough, there seems no good mechan-
zeal reason for adding further to the
height, whatever the size of the Chin
ney required. Sufficient draught will
be furnished to burn any fuel to be OBJ
tanned if the area OF the chimney is
equal to the combined area of the
tubes-where tubular boilers are
used-and the height is 100 feer. With
this height the area of the chin ey
may also be made equal to one-eighth
ratio existing between tube area and
CRATE area when boilers are well pro-
portioned. A much less height than
lOU feet cannot be recommended for a
boiler chimney, for the reasons above
given. The lower grades of tuel cannot
be burned as they should be with a
shorter hirnnQv

Telegraph Wires in Chilli.

According to the Electrical Review,
when the electrical telegraph was first
introduced into Chill, stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part
of the Araucanian Indians and maintain
the connection between the strongholds
on the frontier. There were at the time
between forty and fifty captive Indians
in the Gillian camp. Gen. Pinto called
them together, and pointing to the
telegraph wires said: "Do you see those
wires?" eyes, general" every good.
/ want you not to go near or touch
them: for if you do, your hands will be
held, and you will be unable to get
away" The Indians smiled incredu-
lousy. Then the general made
them each in succession take hold of the
wires at both ends of an electric battery
in full! operation. After which he ex-
claimed: 81 command you to let go the
wirep' 1T can't; my hands are be-
numbed," said the Indian. The battery
was then stopped, and the man re-
leased. Not long afterward the general
restored them to liberty, giving them
strict injunctions to keep the secret, and
not to betray it to their countrymen on
any account. This had the desired effect,
for as might be expected, the expert
ment was related Gin the striCtest conf
dence" to every man of the tribe, and
the telegraph has ever since remained

Blind Staggers in Hogs.

The disease commonly known among
farmers as blind staggrrs is really in
f1ammation OF the brain, or epilepsy.
1t SOM times attacks animals after
changing their diet from poor, scanry
food to an abundance of much better
quality, and at others appears to be
brought on by exposure in cold, stormy
weather. The first symptoms are dull
ness. The eyes soon become red from
inflammation, the bowels are consti-
pated, the pulse quickened and hard.
The animal soon b gins to labor in
breathing, staggers about in circle,
and is apparently blind, as it runs
against any objects which may come in
its way. An oldfashioned remedy
which is always at hand, and probably
as effective as any, is to cut slit some
two inches in length in the patients
forehead, above the eyes, with sharp
knife, which should reach the bone the
whole length of the cash. Take three
fourths of tablespoonful of fine rock
salt, mix with it one-third as much pep
per, and insert in the wound; bring the
edges of the skin together and take two
or three stitches to keep in pl ce.
Feed bran mashes prepared with hot
water until constipation is overcome;
also give a teaspoon,ul of cOpperas in
the feed morning and night ior a week,
then omit the morning dose and give
the same quantity at night tor another
week, after which the use of the cop
peras should be discontinued.

England's Shipping.
From the St. James Gazette.

Since 1876 we have increased our
shipping, not only absolutely but rela-
lively. Ten years ago the number of
voyages made by our ships Sin the car
rying trade of the Kingdom" was 57S,-
Ole. Against this the foreigners made
66,813. In 1886 the figures were respec-
lively 6O6, LOG and 49,6SS. The increase
in tonnage has correspondent to the in
crease in voyages made. In 1876 the
foreigners had 9,232, 400 tons to our
Last year the proportion
was l8,575,S20 foreigners to 25,69l, 294
British. 1t therefore follows that we
have increased while our rivals have
gone back. In the lace of such figures
as these, reported by an authority
which is above suspicion, the talk about
the driving of English SHIPS off our own
trade by foreign competition, which
was so common about the time of the
new postal arrangements on the Ameri-
can line, looks foolish indeed.

The Adventures Of a Horse.

Among the incidents of the storm in
Boston, the Electric Review relates how
the ENHANCEMENT of horse attached to
one of l.. g. Burnham's coal delivery
teams was caused by the wires. It was
in the evening. The horse got entan-
gled and the wires threw him down.
Some of the snarl OF wires proved to be
those of electric lights. The kicking and
the struggles of the horse brought the
wires in contact, and in the words of
the teamster, every time he kicked it
would tighten, and every time it light
ened he would kick l thought to N.Y.
I tried to inhibition him, and everytime
I unbuttoned one place he was struck
with lightning in another" The poor
horse was finally released from his peril
by somebody who understood the cause
Of the trouble.

Doubling the Corn Yield.

The best way to get more corn is to
get increased yield from the same acre
age. A poor corn crop necessarily costs
so much labor that it rarely pays prof
it. But if the land is MANFRED highly.
and cultivated thoroughly, the crop
rarely or never fails to pay. It is easily
coming near the large yields which have
been obtained in special cases.

Thorough Cultivation,

Good farming does not consist in see
ing how much land can be skinned
over without reference to it's productive
ness, but in so farming as to grow the
most on the least possible space. Here
in lies the secret OF good and successful
MISUNDERSTANDING the most from the
least space, but how many OF our farm
ers follow such a policy? The larger
number of them rather seem to be try
ing to extract the substance from the
largest possible surface without making a
corresponding attempt at restoring ele-
ments of fertility to the soil. This
method of farming is entirely too
common and is what has impov-
ershed so many naturally good
farms. Too much land, as a
rule, is under cultivation ON almost
every farm to make 1t the most pro-
ductive. Land will not retain its fer
lility when cropped year after year,
without a suitable return is made in the
shape of manure, and where too much
is under pillow no farmer can find or
make enough manure to keep up the
original fertility OF his land. But there
are other means Of rohbing the land of
it's fertility and soon making it unpro-
ductive, and that is too close pasturing.
This is just az bad as too much crop
ping. 1t is a deteriorating process, and
makes land hard and unproductiye.

Potash Salts for Fruit Trees.

Almost all fruit-bearing trees need
more available potash. Even if analy-
sis shows this mineral in the soil, it
needs an additional supply in soluble
form. If wood ashes can be got they
ere the best, as they supply other min
eral elements needed by the tree as well
as potash. But potash salts are much
better than nothing, and every tree that
an especially liberal supply. The earlier
spring rains and melting SHOWS will dis
solve the potash and carry it down to
the roots
