CBOPPINa WOOD AND CoURrma
By ". W. sTocKwELL.

It's reported Of a fellow
In certain neigh OOrhOOd,
When he goes to see his chHrmer
He is set to chopping wood;
And the task seems done with pleasure
IS If on the road to bliss,
And the goal Of aspiration
For the world he would not miss.
In the light Of right and reason,
In a friendly world like this,
Ought one thus o task another
When he calls to see a miss2
When a fellow goes u-courUing
On a stormy winter night,
Ought not oil and wood be furnished
To supply him warm h and hghGf
It may be this kind Of service
In a moral sense is good,
And viii discipline the subject
AS no other drilling could;
Fitting for LIES after duties
In the best way, as it should,
And the ART Of fuel-geJtin8
Would be better understood.
Should this task become a burden
From which one " ould gain relief,
There d be consolation thinking
One could make his cOurtship brle15
One would have q strong incentive
Calls less frequent there to MAKE
And the greatest question pressing
That q lover has at stake.
To conclude this timely ditty,
AS by sympathy were led,
In the tones of love and pity
Only this need now be said:
Sitting in the glowing hrelights
In q cheerful, chatty mood,
Sparkling must be very pleasant
After one has chopped the wood.

OnIy One CLERK,

The first Postmaster General of this
country was Samuel Osgood, Of Massa-
ehusetts, appointed by Washington IN
April, 1889, and nothing displays the
economy and unostentation of the period
more strikingly than the fact that
OsgOod employed but one clerk. But
the Postmaster General wasn't afraid TO
work IN those days. IF he found that
his clerk had more to do than he could
get through with he pulled of his coat
and pitched In to help him out, no
matter who was around. He would sort
mail If necessary, or carry a bag Of It on
his shoulder to the mail carrier waiting
out In the road with a risky horse that
wouldn't stand hitched.

plays that he owns the store and is
allowed to draw that instead of a
salary. He looks at me askance, as
If he feared that I might be Nellie
BY. He goes over to confer with
a heavy-set saleSwOman to inquire of
her, evidently, whether I am there
with sinister motives, and while I trem-
BILE at the thought that I am about to
be searched for said motives, another
man, who plays that he owns the store
afternoons, comes along and asks me
what I want there. I tell him that I
am a simple-minded man, more or less
picked on both at home and abroad;
that I would spend an enormous amount
Of money in New York If 1 had chance;
that to-day had contemplated buying
or trading for full set Of two heavy
No. 10 English hose with double sOles
and a striking resemblance to each
other. Nobody could be any more ex-
plcit than that without being Offens-
i've. I Just tell a man what I want
right at the start, and then if there
should be any delay it is his fault.
He looks at me sOrrOWfuliy and be-
gins to feel in his pocket for some
thing. I say: put up your gold.
Get out with your drOss. I am not
poor or crazed by suffering. I am
only waiting to present a letter of
introduction to the sock lady If I San
obtain an audience with her" He
tells me where the Office is, and I go
there. She waits long time before
I seem to catch her eye. She looks
through me, and so on across the
store to a given point. She then
says:
"WelI?"
"SOcks! !"

"Yes!"
"What kind, please?"

eyes, exclusively for myself"
swell, the mems hose is on second
floor, facing the other street"
I then go to a hotel, register, get
a room, ring for a messenger, and
send him for the hose.
It may be the same old crazy spirit
which keeps New York stirred up all
the time and makes the average New
Yorker miserable all day if he misses a
car, even if the next viii be along in
half a minute; but whatever it is, 1t is
an evil spirit and makes money for a
few people to the discomfort of great
many.
New York shopping, especially at
certain seasons and on certain days, is
like trying to buy things in Washing
ton during the Inauguration. You can
pay for them, but you are not permitted
to take them away. They may be
needed four years from now.

The Alaskan Alps.

Though by no means the highest
mountain in the world by actual meas
urement, yet Mt ST. Elias probably
appears as large as, if not larger than,
any other, for it is plainly visible from
the sea throughout It's entire height of
eighteen or nineteen thousand feet,
though situated from forty to fifty
miles inland. The Swiss mountains,
which are all under sixteen thousand
feet, are generally seen from elevation
varying rom four to eight thousand
feet while In the Himalayas the plane
of observation is considerably higher.
1t Is certainly true that, with the pos
sibIe exception of Mt. Wrangel, about
which little is known, Mt. st. Elias
presents the greatests snow climb Of
all the mountains In the world, on ac-
count of the low point to which the line
of perpetual snow deseends in these
uortherly region. Beside st. Elias
such mountains as Cook and Vancouver
sank into insignificance. - YItIiGH1

A Character.

Lady Hornby, wife of the British
Admiral, is a character" Years ago
she was struck in the eye by a shot
from a catapult In the streets of Lon
don, and lost its sight. She is, how
ever, as sharp as needle, and her one
remaining eye does duty for both. She
Is one of the most courageous women
alive, and once saved the life Of
favOrite cat by herself biting a mad
dog at the tail. She delights In moth
ing so much as startling people, and
once set a hotel full of doWagers into
fits by telling them the secret of her
plentiful supply of exotics was her
habit of going round the cemetery
every morning and snatching them
from the tOmbs. There are endless
stories about the sayings and doings Of
her ladyship, and she does all she
knows to foster a character for eccen.

By means of float an electric circuit is
closed when the index needle on the slate
indicates low or high water and the bell
rings an alarm. 1t may be adjusted as de-
sired, so that the alarm may be given at any
height of water in the boiler. The advan-
tages of this invention are that it indicates
danger of explosions or the burning of fiues,
flooding of boilers; it detects carelessness
on the part of iremen, and it enables the
firemen to keep the water at a uniform
level, thereby securing dry steam and saw
ing fuel. This indicator is manufactured
and sold by Janney & Wickersham, Potts
town, Pa. Their postofice box is No. 442.
Pittsburg manufacturers should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity for making
boilers safe.

BOILERS MADE SAFE
BY Using Wickersham's Electric Water
Level Indicator.

Level Indicator.
The explosion of a steam boiler last week
at r. Monroe & Sons buildings, on Twenty
fifth street, with its terrible loss OF lite. has
aroused factory and mill owners to sense
OF duty. Such explosions are so frequent in
Pittsburg, that every man who fails to sur
round his battery of boilers with the pre-
cautions that science has furnished is put
down by mankind as guilty of criminal
neglect.
Low water" is the most popular theory
of the cause of these explosions. Therefore,
1t is most reasonable to do something to pre-
vent the water in a boiler from becoming
low. How can this be done? The safest
and most simple device yet patented for
that purpose was shown to a DISPATCH
reporter yesterday. 1t is absolutely the
only sure protection against explosions.
Here is a picture of it:
