pertinent Of propagating this beautiful
game bird on Jekyl has been a most excep-
tional success, proving the adaptability Of
this climate and location for raising them.
From twenty eight birds over loo
we're raised and turned out, and
contrary to the expectious Of many skep-
tics the birds found abu dance OF wild food
and thrived wonderfully. Arrangements
are being made for raising at least 1000 the
coming season, tho club having sent to Eng
land for a hundred more hon birds. The
eggs are set under the common barnyard
fowls, as the pheasant is proyeTbially an
mprovident mother. The attempt to raise
pheas ants at the north has not met with
much success and more birds have been
raised on Jekyl in one year thln in five
years at the north. Mr.. Lorillard, who is
probably the best authority on pheasant
raising, and has spent much time and
money in the business, prophesied that
Jekyl would be found admirably adapted
TO the requirements and suited to the habits
of this rare game bird, and his opinion has
been verified The California quails turned
on the island have also propagated wonder
fully well. The deer and wild turkeys
have increased greatly. The deer are be-
coming, IN fact, too numerous, and play
havoc with the crops. At the rate the
game is increasing Jekyl island will soon
become the finest game preserve in the
United States, and the club is 10 be con-
graduated on its success and future pros
poets.

Toledo Blade.
Every pleasant evening, in that hour
just before twilight, which we all love
to idle away with lncOnsequential
thoughts and observations, there passes
my window couple that greatly inter-
ests me. The lady is but a young girl,
it seems. and she has such pretty
face, so white and peaceful, with some
thing of a sadness in it, something of
joy.
She has great eyes that stare strangely
at you. and, at the sound of her com
paniOn'S voice, their lids are dropped.
and the long, graceful eyelashes fall
upon her cheeks. The man reminds
me of one of the old SaXonS. He is big
and strong, and has the curly golden
hair and the big blonde beard Of that
race of men. His companion hangs he
Oh his arm, and yet he seems to depend
upon her as much as she on him, for
they cling very closely indeed together.
while he carefully picks their way out
with a light cane.
the other day. Neither ever saw the
light of day. Neither can ever know
how glorious the sunlight is, how pret-
tily blend the beautiful hues of the
flowers. how grand all nature looks.
Neither ever saw the other! and yet
they are bridal pair.
They only live in world of darkness
and in each other. They met long ago,
became devotedly attached to each other
and were married. And SO now every
evening when the weather is fine, they
go out for little STROLL and as they
slowly, carefully walk past my window

CELLULOID PRODUCTS.
Safe to Handle. but Ready to Bur
"A Word to the Wise.


"A Word to the Wise.
American Analyst.
Umbrella and cane handles. collars,
cuffs, and scores of other articles of
convenience. utility and even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in
daily use by large numbers of the
people. The question is asked: MAY
they be safely used?" Celluloid is made
from gun cotton, the powerful and viO-
lent explosive compound. Gun cotton
is made by saturating absorbent paper
with a mixture of two parts Of nitric
acid and five parts of sulphuric acid.
The celulose of the paper, derived from
the cellular tissue of the cotton
in common use, is changed by
the combination and becomes
gun cotton. TO make cellulOid the eX-
cess OF acid is washed out by the free
use of water, and by pressure carefully
applied. After the removal of all un-
combined acid is it reduced to homo
geneouS pulpy mass, strained until it
becomes nearly dry, and is then
mixed with about one-third Of
its weight of gum camphor. These
materials are mixed as uni
formly as possible by careful manipula-
ton with wooden Instruments, and then
by grinding. The pulp which is turned
out by grinding is spread out and re-
duced to slabs of various thickneSSeS
and rolled between steam-heated rollers,
and then becomes moderately elastic in
strips Of medium thickness. In this
form it is worked up into the various
articles which are offered for sale and
use. Although gun cotton is easily
70 re 70
pertinent or for general use is not rec
commended; and. although oelluloid arti-
cles may be safely used with ordinary
care, bonfire of such articles for
amusement is not recommended. No
injuries from such use have been re-
ported. A word to the wise, however,
sufficeS.

Let me lie down in the clover,
Where the daisies scatter snow,
And the yellow bees fly over
As my fancies come and go.
Dwellers in a royal palace
Have not softer couch thon mine;
Aud 10! here's lily chalice,
Brimming with the mornings wine.
Yonder brook sings low and softly,
But | cannot catch its words,
As they bend in silvery music
With the notes of breeze and birds.
In this sweet, still summer weather
1t is easy to forget
That our life has toll or trouble,
Has cloud, a jar or fret.
Why should we try to remember?
1t is well to dream and rest.
And forget that we grow weary,
Though our dreams are dreams at best.
Happy he who puts away
Thoughts OF daily life and strife,
Who is deaf 10 din and discord
Earring through the chords of life.
Let me lie thus Ill the clover,
AS a child ON mothers breast,
And, awhile the hours fly over,
Dream sweet dreams of peace and rest.

Slow Progress of the Game.

Indianapolis journal.
A young man well known in society
circles, who has billiard room in the
house, was one evening teaching ayoung
lady, in whom he was somewhat inter
ested, to play. The small boy of the
family went up to view the game, but
was evidently not pleased with its prog
ress, and soon came down. Some one
of the family asked him how the game
was going on, and he said: THE game
is not going on at all. Uncle - is
not playing at all; he IS just standing
there holding Miss s---'s hand. That's
all he's doing, and l don't think there's
any fun in that sort of game.

SUB ROSA.

Under the rose is thorn we know,
And ever in life we find it SO:
Under the sweetest flowers that blow,
Hides the thorn that hurts us so.
Under the rose, but the rose is sweet;
Fairest of all the flowers we meet,
And never in life will 1t seem less sweet,
For the thorn that pierces unwary feet.
Under the rose that we pluck in joy,
Is the sharpest thorn-its one alloy;
So-pain and pleasure. grief and joy,
If it were not SO would sweetness cloy?
Under the rose that we pick to-day,
The rose that the months are speeding
away,
The thorn lies hidden safely away
Will we find that thorn some other days
