"Arthursons got money! returned
the other. "He'd stand by him."
"Too much Of job. Th' young one
III yell sop'
"Gag him. My woman II keep him
all safe till we get the swag."
Poor little Sophy turned white. The
spool dropped from her nerveless hand.
She cast a glance at abe window. The
blind was tightly closed.
CAN right" she heard one cay. "Go
out and turn tn horse aud bring in my
ole coat I'll sag tn baby int that"
As the other obeyed, the remaining
wretch picked up the spool, aud ap-
preached the child, apparently with the
intention of thrusting it into his mouth.
Sophy stood up.
The next instant she had snatched the
shoe from ber foot, struck the man blow
in the face with the heel that made him
reel, and clutching the child by the belt
of its dress, sprang to the door.
"Helpl helpl helpp she screamed,
piercingly.
Two burly, resolute men ran into the
yard followed by little Hiram, Arthur
sons men; and before the evil fellow in
the house could escape, they were on him.
During the tussle of securing him, the
other escaped on foot, leaving his team.
Meanwhile, poor frenzied Sophy ran
down the road with baby, head down
wards, but tightly held-until, at the
turnpike's end, she ran straight into the
arms of Mr.. Salton and his wife, and
then tainted dead away.
They brought her back. The poor,
weak, overwrought child had swooning
spells at night; but Mrs Salton held her
in her arms, and could not be kind
enough to the lovely, faithful young
thing-who was never lonely again. The
good couple took her into their hearts
with warmth and completeness which
left nothing to be desired. They made
her daughter in every sense of the
word.
The law disposed of the villain Jim,
so that he, nor his mate, never were seen
by the Saltons again. The horse, which
was good one, fell to their lot. The
price of the big cheese, exhibited at a
large fair, brought the sum of its worth
several times over-the money being re-
turned to the happy maker. This, added
to good amount for which the horse
was finally disposed of, paid of the
mortgage on the cottage; and the Sal
tons are now prosperous and happy

THE ROSE OF DAWN.

How mockingly the morning dawns for me.
Since thou art gone, where no pursuing
speech,
No prayer, no farthest-sounding cry can
reach
call and wait the answer to my plea
But only hear the stern, dividing sea
THAT pauses not, however beseech)
Breaking, and breaking on the distant
beach
OF that far land whereto thy soul did
fee.
Do happy suns shine on thee where thou
artP
And kind stars light with friendly ray
thy night?
And strange birds wake with music
strange thy morn2
This beggared world, where thou no more
hast part,
Misapprehends the mornings young
delight,
And the old grief makes the new day
forlorn.

Born of the wind and the sea, on the
sandy beaches of Capes Hatteras and
Henlopen is n curious natural phenome-
non. A mammoth wave of sand, that
towers aloft like sea wave, even curling
over in places like a huge breaker, is
rolling inland irresistably, and lacking
only the element of speed in its career to
carry such terror to the hearts of the in
habitants as is inspired by sea waves that
follow an earthquake, for the destruc-
tiyeness Of the sand wave is limited only
by its scope. Though similar in origin,
substance and motive power, there is yet
so much difference between the two
waves in form, extent and speed of trav-
el, aud in the actual destruction of
property, that each is a study in itself
Especially noticeable is the difference in
the devastation wrought, for while one
is laying waste a forest Of small value,
the other is burying inexorably hundred
lowly homes.-ScrtbRer.

Extraordinary Japanese Weaving.

An extraordinary piece of japanese
weaving is now at the exhibition in
Toxic. 1t is known as isuzure ori, or
pierced weaving. 1t is one of great size,
and the design is equestrian archery, an
old-world accomplishment in Japan, and
one which is frequently used for pur-
poses of illustration and design by Japan
ese artists. The price asked for it was
S1O,O 900. The distinctive feature Of this
kind of weaving is that the whole mar
gin of the design is perforated like the
joining of postage stamps, so that when
the whcle piece Is held up to the light
the design of the artist seems to be sus-
pended in the body of the stuff. In
Japan this kind of weaving has been re-
garded as a tour dc force of the artist,
and it is believed that the piece is the
largest aud finest ever produced. -Gom.

How They Catch Herring.

All the herring taken by Newhavon
(Scotland) fishermen are sold for fresh
consumption in Edinburgh and its
suburbs, the greater portion hawked as
"Caller Qresh) herring!" by the Newha-
ven fshwives themselves. Quest for
these delicious fish is made in ever-vary-
ing portions of the Forth from opposite
Newhaven itself to the open sea beyond
the famous Bass Rock, the "season" con-
tinuing from July IS to the 7th of Sep
tember. If the boats are going q long
distance, they depart at daybreak; if but
fifty or sixty miles they leave at noon. In
either case they make beautiful picture
against the dark emerald background Of
the bold Fifeshire hills to the north
Each boat carries effect" of from fifty
to sixty nets, each net about sixty yards
long and eighteen yards in width, and
the crew of each boat as it passes out to
sea are engaged in "fshing down"
which means slowing away the nets in
the hold ready for paying out on arrival
at the fishing grounds. Here they drift
with the tide until the instant the ''sun
talks tn hill, that is, the moment it be-
gins to disappear behind the horizon.
The joined nets, which are provided with
buoys every forty yards, are then "shot"
in half hours time; white lights are
hoisted that the little craft wh'ch con-
tinues TO drift with the tide, may not be
run down by passing channel steamers;
supper is had; and all, save one lookout,
turn in to their hunks for sleep until 2
o'clock in the morning - Commercial Ad-

ing young men to the front in all de-
partments, not the least of which is
steam engineering. In the modern ships,
in addition to the great triple expansion
main engines, with all their complicated
parts, there are dynamos, blowers, steam
steerers and suxiliary engines of all
kinds and sizes, scattered in widely sep

large and intelligent force of machinists

Manufacture of Rubber Goods.

England is the country where the
mackintoshes and silk gossamers are
manufactured. Those used in European
countries are all imported from Lon
don and Manchester. The first gos-
samers were manufactured in this country
in the early seventies at Boston. They
were made in the beginning under a
patent, and the sum of $40 was then
charged for a gossamer that can now be
bought for 81. This cheapening in the
article is altogether due to the fact that
the patent has expired. The English
goods sold here are the rubber and cloth
of the finer makes. Ordinary rubber
clothing is not imported, but is entirely
the result of American industry. The
rubber manufacturing centers of the
United States are Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New York and New Jersey, but
Massachusetts leads them all in the i'm
portance of the traffic and quality of the
output. The workers in these rubber
goods are a well-paid lot of people.
Rubber is bought in bulk, in chunks and
barrels from Para, Brazil. Chicago
spends every year fully $1,000, 900 for
its rubber goods. Chicago Post.

Diamonds to Be Found in America.

Major Powell, of the Geological Sur
vey, says that diamond fields are likely
to be developed in the United States.
He says that diamonds of fine water have
already been found near Atlanta, Ca,
and in Russell County, Ky. He believes
that systematic investigation would lead
to valuable discoveries of precious stones.
Garnets, some of them worth $40 and
$50 each, have been shipped East to the
amount of hundred of pounds by the
Navajo Indians, and some exceptionally
fine specimens have been found in Vir-
ginia. Opals of great value have been
found in Oregon. Turquois mining is
rapidly developing IN Colorado. 1t has
been pursued with more or less success
in New Mexico for some time. The
Virginian garnets are said to be superior
in luster to the inostjproducts Of Ceyl0n'
Chicago Inter Ootaa.

Cost of Running European Steamers.

Reliable data concerning the cost of
running the fast European steamers have
hitherto been difficult to obtain. Some
statistics of the voyage of the Normannia,
the magnificent addition to the Hamberg-
American line, have been COLLECTED, and
as the figures apply practically to run
of the City of Paris from New York to
Liverpool, they are interesting. When
the Normannia starts on an eastward
voyage she carries nearly 5000 tons of
coal in her bunkers, and it costs about
So. so a ton. The stokers daily shovel
into her furnaces between $50 and 300
tons. The expenditure for coal approx
mates $1,000 day, or $4,000 for the
voyage, All expenses included, it may
be said that one trip of the Normannia
costs its owners not less than S25, 900.
The receipts from all classes of passen-
gers on a good midsummer trip are over
$50, 900. Usually the Normannia carries
500 tons of freight, which, at the trans
portation rate of about $40 a ton,
amounts to SSO00.-Ne.O York. Com.

In England it was stated that the patent
medicines have paid TO the British Gov.

sum of 81, 11o, 600 in the shape of duties,
and it is estimated that before the end Of

The number of men in the field in the
late South American war would not have
made small army corps, and the losses
were scarcely more than the killed in
lively skirmish during the Civil War.
They had one great advantage, however,
remarks the Detroit Free Press. They
had one general for every forty soldiers.

Mirrors of Wood.

In Germany wood with a mirror polish
is coming into use for ornamental pur-
poses in place of metal. The wood is
first submitted to a bath of caustic alkali
for two or three days at temperature of
about 175 degrees Fahrenheit, then
dipped in hydrosulphate Of calcium for
twenty-iour Or thirty-nine hours, after
which concentrated solution Of sulphur
is added. After another dip in an ace
tate of lead solution at about 100 de-
grees, shining metallic surface is given
by polishing when dry with lead, tin or
zinc.--A6,0 H0rk telegram.

Professor William d. Marks, Super
vising Engineer of the Edison Electric
Light Company, of Philadelphia, an elec'
trical expert, says he is willing to stake
his reputation as an electrical engineer
on his ability to construct an electric
motor that could take a train of ears
from Philadelphia to New York in thirty
six minutes. The Professor might have
made it even thirty-fve minutes, OBJ
serves the New York World, but as he
has placed his reputation at stake in the
matter, he may wish to be entirely on
the safe side. One hundred and fifty
miles an hour is the speed Professor
Marks's motor would have to make.

rRor, MY GOOD srEED, rRor.

Where my true love abideth
make my way tonight
Lo, waiting, she
Espieth me
And calleth In delight:
~ see his steed a-near
Come trotting with my deer
oh, idle not, good steed, but trot
Trot thou my lover herep
Aloose cast the bride
And ply the whip and spur,
And gayly
Speed this reply
While faring on to her;
"Oh, true love, fear thou not
I seek our trysting spot
And double feed be yours, my steeJ,
Ityou more swiftly trotp
vault from out the saddle
And make my good steed fast;
Then to my breast
My love is pressed
At last, true heart at lastl
The garden browsing lies,
The stars fold down their eyes
In this dear spot, my steed, neigh not,
Nor stamp in restless wise
Oh, passing sweet communion
OF young hearts, warm and truel
To thee belongs
The old, old songs
Love finds forever newt
We sing those songs, and then
Cometh the moment when
It's GOOD steed, trot from this dear spot
Trot, trot me home againr'

Says the San Francisco Chronicle,
Matches are great modern convenience,
but they bring many evils in their train.
II is estimated that at least twenty per
cent. of the fires in large cities may be
traced to their use. A recent report of
the Fire Marshal of Boston discusses
the subject at great length and seriously
recommends legislation to compel the
adoption OF safety matches which will
only ignite under certain conditions.
The losses entailed are great enough ia
be appalling, but very few persons, even
when they are fully aware Of the dangers
. o. cheap match, will take the tronble
to insure themselves by buying the bet
