The TweIve Greatest Poets.

Perhaps may be permitted to re-
capitulate the list OF dozen English
poets whom ventured to quote as the
manifest immortals of our British Par
nassus. They arc Chaucer, Sponsor.
Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope,
Gray, Burns, Wadsworth, Coleridge,
Byron, Shelley, Keats. 1t will be no.
ticed that there arc thirteen names
here, and my reviewers have not failed
TO remind me that 1t is VIGOROUSLY dif-
ficult to count the stars. Tho fact is
that Gray. the real thirteenth. was an
afterthought, and l will admit that
though Gray is the author OF what is
perhaps the most imposing single
short poem in the language, and al
though he has charm, skill and dis
tinction to a marvellous degree, his
originality, his force OF production was
so rigidly limited that he may scarcely
be admitted to the first rank. No doubt
the explosive force which eggs a very
great writer on TO constant expression
was lacking in the case OF Gray, and |

one OF my interesting family which |
will consent TO throw to the wolves.
The rest are inviolable, and / will de-
fend them TO the last. Edmund Gosse,

EGG-SHElL WONDERS.
Where the Hen Gets the Carbonate OF
Lime Essential to Her Duties.

Lime Essential to Her Duties.
The shell proper of an egg is made
up mostly of earthly materials. The
proportions vary according to the food
of the bird. but 90 to 95 per cent. is car
Donate of lime. The remainder is COM
posed of from to per cent OF animal
matter and from / to per cent. OF
phosphate oflime and magnesia Now,
Mr.. p. l.. Simmonds asks, where does
the hen procure the carbonate of lime
with which to form the shell9 II we
contine fowls in a room and feed them
with any of the cereal grains. exclud-
ing all sand, dust or earthly matter,
they will go on for time and lay eggs,
each one having a perfect shell. made
up OF the same calcareous elements.
Nanquelin shut up hen for ten days
and fed her exclusively upon oats, of
which she consumed 7,474 grains in
weight. During this time four eggs
were laid, the shells of which weighed
nearly 400 grains; of this amount 276
grains were carbonate of lime, II 1-2
grains phosphate OF lime, and 10 grains
gluten. But there is only little car
Donate of lime in oats, and whence could
this 400 grains of the rocky material
have been derived. The answer to
this question opens up some of the most
curious and wonderful facts connected
with animal chemistry. The body of a
bird, like that of man, is but a piece
OF chemical apparatus. made capable of
Transforming hard and fixed substances
into others of very unlike nature. In
oats there is contained phosphate Of
lime, with an abundance Of silica. and
the stomach and assimilating organs Of
the bird are made capable of decompos-
ing the lime salt and forming with the
silica silicate OF lime. The new body
is itself made to undergo decomposi-
ton, and the base is combined with
carbonic acid, forming carbonate Of
lime. The carbonic acid is probably
derived from the atmosphere, or more
directly, perhaps. from the blood.
These chemical changes among hard
inorganic bodies are certainly wonder
full when We reflect that they are
brought about in the delicate organs of
a comparatively feeble bird, under the
influence Of animal heat and vital
forces. They embrace series of de-
composing and recomposing operations,
which it is difficult to initiate in the
laboratory-Popular Science Monthly.

A System of Planting That VIII Reduce
the Work of Cultivation.
II is an item to reduce the cultivation
as much as possible-or rather, to re-
duce the work of cultivating. The
greater the work that can be done
with the cultivators or plows, the less
will be the work required to keep the
soil clean and in good filth. This ap-
plies to all crops. whether in the field.
truck patch, small fruit patch or gar
den- In addition to having the rows
straight. the plants should stand in the
rows as evenly as possible. This is one
advantage in using the seed drill; the
seed is sown much more evenly than it
is possible to SOW by hand, unless more
than usual pains are taken. The gar
den cultivators. If properly used, will
very materially reduce the work of
keeping the soil mellow and clear of
weeds II the plants are standing
evenly in straight rows, the cultivators
or weeders can be worked more closely
to the plants; and the closer this can
be done the less handwriting will be
needed.
With good set Of stakes and line
the rows can be made straight; and as
nearly, or quite. all the seed drills are
provided with markers that while seed
ing one row mark the next, with care
in getting the rows straight at the
start. they can be left 30. 1t Is an aim
in the garden to reduce hand-weeding
or hoeing, and the use Of the cultivator
helps immensely in this direction
Then IL care is taken to have the plants
in straight line and to work the Gull
tivator close to them. clean work can
be done much more easily than when
proper care is not taken in this way

Men Who Exc Out an Existence on Three
Dollars a Week.
While some people who imagine they
are poor are sGuabbling over whether
or not they can live on $40 per week
others OF whom have knowledge are
living on s. week. They do not stop
to debate about the question at all, but
go right ahead and do it. Really it
does not cost much to support life in a
hearty, healthy man, If he has no pride
or nicely about him. Ten cents will
get him a bed for the night in big.
hot room with forty or fifty compan-
ions Five cents will get him bowl
of oatmeal or cornmeal or rice in the
morning with a slice of bread, ten
cents will get him a plate Of meat and
vegetables at midday, and FIVE cents
will get him all the bread or corn cakes
he wants for supper. All told, the man
who lives in the cheapest lodging
houses in town and boards at the cheap
est restaurant in town spends only
thirty cents day for living expenses.
Washing costs him nothing. for he
wears no collars and cuffs, and when
his shirt needs soaking very badly
he wrestles with it in the common
bath tub and hangs it up to dry before
a red-hot stove before he goes to sleep.
1t is possible for him to save ninety
cents a week. Longshoremen. tow

the genuine tramps scorn to pay for
any thing and get themselves commit

not be thought for a moment that the
Inhabitants Of the cheap lodging houses
are homogeneous They are divided
into many classes. The young men go
to one room, the old men to another,
and one of the strangest things found
is the strong disposition Of those who
have fallen from prosperity to drift to-
gether. / found in one house an ex-
mayor Of Brooklyn, an ex-surrogate

ago the beloved pastor of a large par
ish. Others in the same house were

ex-actors. They are still aristocratic,
spending as much as fifteen cents for
their beds and getting it. the Lord
knows how. In their humble reading
room they discuss the world from the
cynical standpoint Of their wrongs. real
or imaginary. and they would no more
associate with the dodgers in other
houses than Queen Victoria would &C

these cases. Brooklyn Eagle.
