WHENI WOULD DIE.

Iwould not die in spring time,
When all is bright around,
And fair young flowers are Peeping
From out the silent ground;
When life is on the waters,
And joy upon the shore
For winter, gloomy winter,
Then reigns DER Us no more.
l would not die in summer,
When music's on the breeze,
And soft, delicious nurmurs
Float ever through the trees
And fairy birds are singing,
From morn till close Of day
No with its transient glOries
l would not pass away
When breezes leave the mountain
Its balmy sweets all Ger
To linger round the fountain,
And fan our bowers no more
When summer flowers are dying
Within the lonely glen,
And autumn winds are signing
would not perish then
But let me die in winter,
When night hangs dark above,
And cold the snow is lying
On bosOms that we love.
Aud may the wind at midnight,
That bloweth from the sea,
Chat wildly, softly, sweetly,
A requiem for me

READY FOR MAsTICATION.
A Baby Born with Six Upper and Four
Lower Teeth.

The following toothsome" dispatch was
sent from Chicago to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat on the 18th instant:
George Baker, restaurant keeper, liv-
ing at los Park avenue and doing bust
Miss at 3S Madison street, is the proud
possessor of baby girl who was born
with set of teeth. When little Julia
Orine Baker arrived in town day or two
ago, very red, very bald and weighing 81
pounds, she Mortified the nurse and as
founded DR.. Phillips, the family physi-
clan, by exhibiting nice upper row of
six white front teeth and four perfect ones
on her lower gums. They were almost
fully developed and hard enough to use
on the toughest beefsteak in existence. 1t
might be thought that the little stranger
would develop accomplishments in keep
ing with the early growth of teeth, and
start out, walk, talk, sit up at the table
and perform ever so many clever acts, and
her fond father doubtless gleefully imag-
ined that she would do something of the
kind to sort of keep up the record, but she
did none of these. She can bite, though,
and that, too, good and hard as her father
can testify, she having got his little finger
in her mouth and made him dance. How
ever, the little one shows remarkable signs
of physical vigor and at present she eats
bread sopped in milk, and little particles
of tenderly cooked chicken, a feat which
is said to be unprecedented in the annals
of medical science.
DR.. Phillips says that her case is the
most remarkable one he ever had the good
fortune to have in his charge When the
teeth were first noticed the Doctor put his
,, finger gently on one of them to see if it
was really ivory or a soft gristle. This
tooth proved white piece of soft SUBJ
stance. The others, however, were real
ivory, and were as hard as the molars of
grown person.
During the whole course of my pro-
fessional career" said DR.. Phillips, 81
never came in contact with such a case"
"What is the scientific reasoning for it?"
"That / can't imagine The child will
doubtless grow rapidly and develop early.
1t is going to be remarkable baby"
1t is the first baby that has come to the
Bakers, and they are as proud as can be of
their girl. The neighbors for blocks around
and strangers, too, have been to see this
most remarkable child. Julia's grandpapa,
who lives in New York State, was so happy
over the little girls arrival that he sent a
big roll of Uncle Sans greenbacks TO buy
the finest clothes for her.
If she only so chooses" said Mr. Ba-
ker, she will get along very well in this
! worldn

CLOTH MADE FROM WOOD.
Method of Reducing tho Boards to a
State of Isolated Fibers.


Mitscherlich has applied the bisulphite
process for reducing wood to the prodUc-
ton of a fiber from wood which can be
spun.
Thin boards or laths, free from knots,
but of any desired width, are cut into
strips, in the direction parallel with the
grain, and are then boiled in boilor con-
tanning solution of sulphurous acid or
bisulphite. This boiling effects disinte-
grafton without requiring that the strips
or boards shall be reduced tc very small
pieces. After boiling the wood it is
dried in the open air or in specially con-
structed drying rooms. By thus drying
the product, the fiber, which is originally
very weak, and tends to break at the
slightest strain, becomes comparatively
strong, and does not resume its very break
able condition on the addition of water.
The operations are carried on as follows
The damp masses on the frame are
transformed to travelling endless cloth,
which leads them to pair of rollers,
rugations mi the direction of ther length,
the ribs of the one roller being made to
gear into the recesses of the other one,
whereby they effect simultaneous strong
bending and squeezing of the masses. The
cutting of the material in passing through
the corrugated rollers is avoided by caus-
ing the endless cloth to pass over the
lower roller and by placing canvass COW
ering around the upper roller. The
pressed masses fall from these rollers on to
second endless cloth, which conveys
them to second pair of rollers, from
which they are conveyed to a third pair,
and so on, they being preferably pressed
in this way six times. By continued
treatment of the wood the fibers become at
length so pliable and isolated from each
other that they can be employed directly
for coarse filaments.
For obtaining perfect isolation of the
fibers, however, without material deterior-
alton, these operations alone are not suita-
bic, and their special purpose is to loosen
the fibers in the transverse direction, so
that in the following operation thin,
long fiber may be obtained. For this pur-
pose the boiled and pressed masses are
completely dried. After drying they are
combed in the direction parallel with the
fibers by means of devices provided with
pins or teeth, in a manner similar TO the
operations for combing flax, cotton, ETC.,
but with the difference that the pins or
teeth of the apparatus must be made very
strong. The separation of the extractable
matter from the fiber produced by boiling
the gums and soluble organic matter can
be effected at any time. 1t is, however,
preferably effected after the fiber has been
| spun into threads, etc.-Scientifc AreTicda

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
THE GINGERBREAD TREE


Oh, do you know. and do you know,
The tree where risen doughnuts grow,
And in shower cone tumbling down,
Ali sugary and crisp and brown?
And did you ever chance to see
The plum cakes on this charming tree?
Aud reaching DER the fence, perhaps
A stem just strung with ginger snaps?
The house stands close beside the street
Around its roof the branches meet.
If you lcok up, about your head
Fall down great squares of ginger bread
Once when went inside the door,
Through the wide window to the floor
A bough came bending all apart,
And tossed me il a jelly tart.
Whoever lives there, must say,
Though he is lame and old and gray,
What rare gardener he must be-
And, oh, how happy with that tree.
My mother says that very few
Gingerbread trees she ever knew
and none shook down it seems to her,
Like this, an apple turnover.
Some days it drops upon the ground,
Soft, soft. a frosted heart, and round,
And sometimes, when the branches stir,
such cookies rain as never were.
And you can guess, oh you can guess,
That if tbs too far at recess,
Yet all the children, as rule,

THE OLD HOME.
In the quiet shadows Of twilight

In the quiet shadows of twilight
stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
So cherished and loved of yore.
But the ivy now is twining
Unframed DER window and wall
And no more the voice of the children
Is echoing through the hall.
Through years of pain and sorrow,
Since first had to part.
The thought of the dear old homestead
Has fingered around my heart.
The porch empowered with roses,
The gables dropping caves,
And the songs OF the birds at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years
Appear at the dusky windows.
Through vi ion dimmed with tears.
/ hear their voices calling
From the shadows far away,
And | stretch my arms toward them
In the gloom of the twilight gray.
But only the night winds answer,
AS cry through the dismal air,
And only the bat comes swooping
From the darkness of its lair.
let still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away,
And the faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.
