THE OLD WHITE PINE.

Far to the north in the trackless villa
A grand old pine tree stood,
Towering aioft in its majesty,
The monarch of the wood
Through all the storms ofthe countless years
II proudly reared its head
High DER the ranks OF its kindred ncar,
Where forest sires lay dead
Deep in the heart of the wilderness
To mankind all unknown,
Safe from the axe Of the lumberman
For ages 1t had grown.
At last one day through the forest came
Stout w0odsmen by the fcore,
And ere the light of that day had fed
The monarch's reign was DER.
Straight to the core of the patriarch
The keen-edged blades were sent,
And prone to the earth with o mighty roar
The giant crashing went;
Then Of the huge weatherbeaten limbs
The prostrate trunk was shorn,
And to the mill by the rapid stream
It's several lengths were borne.
Forth to the world went the woodland king
Rent In q thousand parts,
Borne from its home in the northern wood
On to the busy marts;
Part went to form laborer's cot,
Part framed . mansion fine,
And many things for the good Of man
Came from the old white pine.

FED BY ELECTRICITY.
How Western Man Supplied His Horse
with Oats.

How . Western Man Supplied His Horne
with Oats.
Electrical Expert Wheeler, of New
York. was telling story to party of
acquaintances about what he called an
electrically fed horse" A citizen of q
Western town, of an inventive turn of
mind, concluded that it involved too
much labor on his part to rise early
every cold morning and trot out to the
barn to feed the family horse. So he
purchased two tons of oats, had them
placed in bin over the horses stall
and connected the manger and bin by
means of chute terminating in hop
per. To the hopper he attached valve
controlled by electricity, and SO ar
ranged that, when operated, single
feed of oats would run into the manger.
He ran his wires into the kitchen and
connected them with a push button.
The family were charmed with the ar
rangement, and quite envied him the
pleasure of feeding the family pet.
After few days peculiar noises began
to issue from the barn, and upon inves-
tigation, poor Pegasus was found to be
fairly swimming in two tons of A 1 oats.
He was dug out and the valve which
worked SO well was consigned to OBJ
livion.
Mr.. Wheeler told this little yarn to
illustrate the fact that ALMOST every
body Of an inventive turn of mind is ex-
perimenting in electricity. The results
achieved by some are quite valuable,
but the majority of the inventors have
only pain for their trouble. "Elec-
tricity is like vicious mule" said he.
ut is dangerous to handle, and the mis-
haps OF these would-be inventors are
numerous, and in some cases fatal.
Most OF them are of ludicious nature,
like the electrically fed horse. The
profession offers great inducements to
the rising young men of the generation,
though 1t is comparatively new field
for brains and industry. IN. Y, Star.

The corresponding totals one year
previously were 8, $50 millions of francs
silver and 1850 millions of francs gold.
showing an increase of about 200 mil
lions of silver and about $50 millions OF
gold for last year.
To this statement Herr Haupt appends
the following comments: 1.-THE steady
increase of the visible supply of gold
proves once more how wrong the bimet-
alists are in prophesying an approaching
scarcity of gold. The stream Of the pre-
cious metal tgold) does not apparently
dow with the same freeness for all the
great countries. Nevertheless my fig-
ures show that since 1886 this stream
has been augmented by almost 700, OOO,-
600 francs Herewith, however. the
statistics ON the question at issue are by
no means exhausted. At the end of No
vember the Brazilian National Bank
had 90, 000, 900 francs in gold. Thus we
have 760 600. 900 francs increase in gold
since 1885. or about 200, 0O0, 600 per year,
which may be regarded as the net annu-
al product after the subtraction of the
consumption in the arts. This sum must
be considered only the minimum, how
ever, for undoubtedly great quantities
OF gold have been coined and put in cir
culation which we can not get at for our
estimates. It Is well known that from
70,ooo, 900 to 90, 0oO, 900 francs of gold are
taken annually by India for boarding
purposes. The lions share of last years
gold increase fell to France, whose
bank added about 2eO, 600, 900 to its sup
ply. The German Imperial Bank had,
according to my calculation, some $780,
900, 900 francs gold at the end of 1888, OF
which 1t has lost 11O, 900, 900 during the
last year. = Finally the Bank Of En-
gland has decreased its supply of gold
by about 10000. 900 francs since 1851

THE MIcRosE MAN.


Great Mooict0e But IL ~ NOT Always
Appreciated.
II the man who sells the microbe-
killer has not called on you yet, do not
despair. He is very busy these days,
and can not be everywhere at the same
time.
He called last evening at large fat
house uptown, and ringing Mrs. Boggs's
bell brought that lady to the speaking
tube, five stories up. The microbe man
placed his lips to his end of the tube,
and called up:
81 have something in the way of q
microbe-killer that would like to show
ycu," and suddenly Withdrawing his
mouth and slapping his ear to the tube,
caught this response from the fifth floor:
"Don'twant any microbe-killer. Hain't
got no microbes, nohow."
"Great Scott, madam shouted the
microbe man, don't say you haven't got
any microbes in this enlightened age.
You may not wish to buy any of my
microbe-killer to-day, but it is not good
form to say you have no microbes. Star
eyed Science has decided that about all
our diseases are due to microbes. These
are microscopic parasites, or animalcul@,
that float about in the air in countless
millions and billions; they get into our
lungs, into our stomachs and ultimately
bring on disease and death"
The microbe man paused for breath
and also glued his ear to the tube to see
what impression he was making on the
fifth floor. Mrs. Boggs shouted down
through the tube:
80, let up on your long rigmarole.
don't want none of your worm medicine. "
but this is no worm medicine, my
good woman. 1t is no medicine at all.
You don't have to take it. Set it around
in the room and it is besom of destruc-
tion to all microbes and infusoria."
But I tell you hain't got no mi
crobes and no sores"
''That's all right" said the man, "bu.
you have microbes all the same, and
boobies Of them. The microbe is ever
present He is innumerable. He comes
as the winds come when navies are
stranded; he comes as the leaves come
when forests are blended. We do not
see him, but he is there. He brings us
grippe, scrofula. Bright's disease, pains
in the back, chest and limbs, yellow
jaundice, fever and ague, coughs, colds,
and that dread disease, consumption.
What do our great writers and thinkers
say?"
ITO thunder with our great writers
and thinkers! am doing the thinking
for the Boggs family" screamed Mrs.
Boggs," and tell you l don't want any
of your internal stuff"
Don't want any? Think twice, mad
am, since you are in the thinking bust.
ness, before refusing this great boon tc
suffering humanity. Remember, death
rides on every passing breeze, he Turks
in every f1ower"-
There was tremendous rattling and
clatter like hail ON q tin roof, and the
microbe man was struck on the ear with
q handful of beans that Mrs. Boggs had
shot down to him through the tube.
He left the vestibule and passed on
his way, remarking:
''Such 1ow-bred creature as that will
never see the light of science shining on
the hilltop until the deadly microbe has
her in its grip, and then, for all ] care.
she can kill her microbe with club."-
