WALKED city street, and suddenly
I saw tiny lad. Tho winter wind 81, ~.
Howled htfully, and all the air above
The clear cut outline Of the buildings tall
Seemed full Of knives that cut against the taco
An awful night among the unhoused poor!
The boy was tattered; both his hands were
thrust
For show Of warmth within his pocket holes,
Where pockets had not been for many day.
One trouserleg was long enough to hide
The naked flesh, but one, in mockery
A world too short, tho he was monstrous small
Left bare and red his knee-a cruel thing!
Then swelled my selfish heart with tenderness
And pity for the waif; to think Of one
So young, so seeming helpless, homeless, too,
Breasting the night a-shiver with the cold!
Gaining little soon passed him by,
My fingers reaching for y silver coin 90
To make him happier, II only for
An hour, when-I marveled as heard
His mouth was puclered up in CHEEKY wise,
And IN the very teeth of fortunes frown
He whistled loud scrap Of some gay tunel
And must know that all my ready tears
Fell on mood more merry than mine own.

ERICSSON'S PATRIOTISM,
He Loved His Native Sweden ALTHOUGH
He Never Reyisited 1t.

He Loved His Native Sweden Although
He Never Revisited 1t.
Though he was citizen of the world
and naturalized American, his inter-
est in his native land never ceased; in
deed his affection for it increased as he
advanced in years Yet he never visited
Sweden after his departure from home
in 1926. He did propose in the latter
part of his life to return thither, and de-
clared that he would rather lie under q
mound of gravel in Sweden when he was
dead than beneath the tallest monument
that could be erected on American soil
He became interested, however, in his
study of solar heat and the development
of his sun motor, and was not willing to
transfer himself to a region so little
adapted to such studies as the high lati-
tudes of Sweden. He needed, as he ex-
planned, to be near the vertical rays of
the sun. "New York is certainly not
vertical under the sun, but the rays in
midsummer incline only seventeen de-
grees, and produce heat scarcely two
degrees less than in the tropics, thus
sufficient for my purpose"
When Ericsson obtained position Sc
curing to him an income much in excess
of his modest needs, which was not until
after he had reached his sixtieth year,
he was constantly making gifts to
Sweden and to Swedes. These appear
to have attracted little or no attention
in this country, but they have added a
feeling Of affection to the pride with
which his countrymen remember him.
An ancient miner sent word through one
of Ericsson's correspondents, that he
had known John in his youth; i'm
mediately draft was sent to purchase
. handsome watch for the old gossip,
and as one of his neighbors, "the man
with the leathern apron" was subse-
quently found to have some vague rec
elections in the same line, he received
$50 crowns to ''buy him a coat"
When famine pinched the Norrlanders
in 1867, and collections for their relief
were taken up in various countries, the
total contributions from the United
States amounted to 20,316 Swedish
crowns. OF this sum Ericsson gave 20,-
216 crowns, and subscription of 100
crowns from the Swedish Minister COM
pleted the total.-Scribner's Magazine.

Primitive Water Power.

On many of the rivers of Germany it
was formerly the custom to anchor fiat
boat which had large paddle wheels on
each side, fastened to revolving shaft.
By the force of the passing current these
wheels were turned after the manner Of
an understood water wheel, and tho
power thus obtained was used to grind
corn or for other purposes. In the rapid
current of these rivers the power thus
utilized was very considerable, and the
device appears to have been of quite .
practical value, though now so super
seeded by vastly superior arrangements,
itsappears to us of very slight use.

Tilted by the Emperor of Austria.

The Princess of Thurn-and- -Taxis was
the eldest of the five beautiful daughters
of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, and was
reckoned, until her last illness, probably
the most handsome and intellectual
woman in Europe. While mere child
she was betrothed to the present Emperor

marriage festivities, but also throughout
her subsequent life, she acted to perfec-
tion the part of a loving and sympathiz-
ing sister, and appeared, to the public at
any rate, to rejoice openly at Elizabeth's
good fortune. After seeing her three
other sisters married-to the King of

one of the most wealthy and powerful of
the medialized sovereign families of the
German Confederacy. He owned large
and valuable estates in Bavaria, Upper
Austria, Silesia, and Wurtemburg, the
principal residence of the family being
the palace at Ratisbon. But, although
the prince absolutely worshiped his beau
tiful wife, she never professed for him
anything more than mild toleration, and
retained throughout her marriage, and
to the day of her death, an air of intense
sadness. She was consummate musi-
clan, painter of no mean skill, and a

What Stanley offered Emin.

Before concluding our sketch of Emin,
says Mr.. Stead in the Review of Reviews,
itmay be well to state that the expedition
was sent at his request "You will not
leave me to die as you left Gordon, " was
the message which led to the dispatch of
the Stanley expedition, and his ultimate
rescue at the cost of $780, 900. When
Mr.. Stanley met him for the first time he
made him the three following PROPOSE
tions:
1. Emin to become governor general
of the equatorial province and the Congo
State at a salary to be fixed by himself,
and with an administrative fund at his
disposal of OF $50, 900, to be raised from
the natural stores and ivory wealth of the
province.
2. Emin to collect all his military and
other forces and make an exodus with
them to Kavirondo, on Lake Nyanza,
where he would solidly establish himself
and found stations, while Mr.. Stanley
would make tracks for Mombasa, whence
he would soon return with two portable
steamers, wherewith the two would then
organize an expedition to conquer
Uganda and Unyoro, and create out of
these two provinces and Equatoria do
minion, of which Emin, with princely
salary, was to be the ruler, in the service of
the British East Africa Company. A rail-
way would be built through the continu-
Gus line of territory from the coast to the
sources of the Nile
3. To take him out there and then.
Emin said that he would think it over,
and Stanley went away. When he re-
turned, Emin was prisoner in the hands
of his own soldiers, and all that could be
done was to bring him away, with the
mere handful of followers who were will
ing to leave the districts Five hundred
and seventy started in May Only $50

PALM OIL MAKING.
How the Commercial Article is Pro-
duced on the Gold Coast.

An interesting report comes from the
government of the gold coast on the palm
OIL industry of the west coast of Africa.
In cultivating the palm, ripe nuts are
scattered over the ground, well raked,
and are then covered lightly with earth.
The planting takes place in the rainy sea-
son. When the young shoots have
grown about a foot, they are carefully
removed in the evening, and transplanted
at least sixteen feet apart. The tree
grows luxuriantly, and bears most abun-
dainty at a height of from ten feet to
twelve feet in damp, semi-marshy soil.
The supply Of nuts fit for use is bien-
NAL, and the most abundant supply of
commercial oil is obtained from the nuts
during the rainy season. The punches
OF nuts are cut down, and placed in a
heap in the air, where they remain for a
week or ten days. The joints of the nuts
are thus weakened by decomposition, and
they can be detached by simply beating
them against any substance.
When the nuts are collected those with
a hard, unyielding pulp are placed in a
hole about four feet deep, which is lined
with plaintain leaves and with palm
leaves and earth. They are allowed to
remain for periods varying between three
weeks and three months, until a certain
decomposition has taken place, so that
when removed the pulp is soft, and ap-
pears as if it had been boiled. The nuts
are now put in a trough made by digging
hole in the ground and paving it with
rough stones. Here they are pounded
with wooden pestles until the pulp is
quite removed from the surface of the
hard nut.
The whole is then removed from the
trough, put in heap, and the stones
taken out, leaving the oily, fibrous pulp,
which is put into pot with small
quantity of water, under a good fire, and
well stirred until the oil begins to melt
out. The pulp is then put in a rough
net, opened at both ends, to which are
attached two or three short sticks, by
turning which in opposite directions the
oil is squeezed out. The longer the nuts
are under ground the thicker the oil and
the worse the quality. This alone ac-
counts for the different qualities of oil
exported from the different places along
the coast. Other methods are employed
to produce the oil for home consumption,
but that here described is the mode usual
in the production of the palm oil of COM
