a DERvISH.

Like Joseph's coat his tattered raiment shows
A rainbow blending of its countless hues;
The desert dust has stained his pilgrim
shoes,
His frame is gaunt, yet on and on he goes.
Few are the hours his weary limbs repose,
Few are the drops that wet his earthen
cruise;
The path is long, the sharp iints cut and
bFuiSe,
And vet at heart dreamful rest he knows.
His visions are of calm celestial days
Of peaceful groves of palm beyond the
skies:
Forever shine before his ardent eyes
The fountained heavenly courts through
golden haze:
He deems the more he bears on mortal ways
The greater his reward in Paradise.

COnnecticut's Extinct Volcano.

Professor Davis, of Harvard University,
was telling a couple of friends in the
Brunswick Cafe the other evening of an
extinct volcano he discovered not long
ago near Meriden, Conn. While out
with DR.. Chaplin, of Meriden, Investigate
ing the mountains and valleys of the Nut
meg State he came across what has since
been a matter OF great scientific interest.
The ash bed of al extinct volcano was
discovered between Meriden and the little
town Of Berlin. The ash bed is an over
hanging cliff about twenty-five feet high
and fifty feet long and of greenish
tingue. In describing it, he said: ION
the face of the cliff are occasional pockets
of quartz crystals, some of which shade
to amethyst and some to rose. Another
feature of the cliff is the prevalence of
roundish stones, varying from one to four
feet in diameter. These were the bombs,
in geological parlance, and were portions
of the trap rock which were elected from
the active volcano. Another exceedingly
interesting object was small portion of
the sandstone bed twisted and contorted
by the action of heat and pressure"
Many scientists have visited the scene
of his discovery and they unite in saying
that there was nothing else of it's nature
this side of the Rocky Mountains. The
volcano which produced the phenomenon
must have been extinct thousands of years
ago.-Neao York Star.

How Slate Pencils are Manufactured.

One of the most peculiar branches of
industry in this country is the manufac-
ture of slate pencils. There is only one
slate-pencil factory in the United States.
It is located at Castleton, VT, and en-
ploys twenty hands, who turn out
$4,000 slate pencils every day.
The method of manufacture is a good
deal in advance of the primitive means
employed some years back. Not long
since the blocks of soft slate from which
they are cut were sawed in lengths and
distributed among the neighboring labor
ers families to be whitfield down to pen
Gil shape. Those working at them could
earn about fifty cents per thousand. By
the present system the blocks, which are
as wide as pencil is long are put into
the mouth of machine called the croco-
die. This contains six rows of revolv-
ing curved knives. AS the slab passes
between these knives parallel grooves are
cut in the slabs, then they are turned and
cut through. The square pencils are
then rounded and polished by holding
them against the emery belt One man
can cut out and finish about 5000 pencils
per day.-Ne17 York Journal.
