Chanlnins of the Navy.

When q chaplain receives his commits
sion from the Government he begins q
career which, with ordinary prudence and
good conduct, will terminate only when
age has made him grizzled and gray. In
the navy he ranks as a lieutenant, and
for the first five years of his service he is
paid $1,000 per annum while on shore,
$500 year when he is preaching at sea,
and $1,000 a year if some complaisant
Secretary of the Navy will give him a
leave of absence or let him roam around
the country in that delightful condition
which is known to officers of both the
army and navy as "waiting orders"
The last report of the Navy Depart
ment shows that out of the twenty-four
chaplains six were in that delightful con-
dition of "waiting orders, " and had been
for several months past, and of the others,
two fortunate ones were practically in the
same situation, for they had been granted
leave of absence by the department,
and had hied themselves away to foreign
shores. The luckiest man among those
who are 'waiting orders" is Dominic
William H. Stewart, who by the way,
ranks as captain in the navy and draws
a salary of $4,000 year when at sea, and
$1,000 on shore duty, and S2s0O while

A City Of the Unknown.

"During frequent visits l have made
to Mexico" said mining engineer of
Philadelphia the other night, 81 have
come in contact with many of the
Indians resident there aud have heard
some very singular stories. One, which
all the Indians unite in telling, is that
far in the interior exists an enormous city
never yet visited by white men. 1t is
described as peopled by race similar to
the ancient Aztecs, who are sun wor-
shippers and offer human sacrifices to
their diety.
''The race is said to be in high state
of civilization, and the Indians say that
the city is full of huge structures which
are miracles of quaint, but beautiful
architecture, and are situated on broad,
paved streets far surprising those Of the
City of Mexico.
"One Indian, / recollect, assured me
that he had seen the city and its inhabi.
tants with his own eyes, but had been
afraid of being captured and had fed.
OF course, l did not believe him, but, all
the same, 1t is not little strange that
the accounts of the Mexican indians
relative TO the mysterious and magnif'
cent interior city agree perfectly. -

What Dynamite Can Do.

Shooting candle through two-inch
solid plank without disturbing it in the
least is being done by dynamite, which
is so quick in its action that tender
green leaf can be compressed into the
hardest steel before it has time to ilatten.
One of the experiments of the United
States torpedo works was to place some
leaves between two heavy, fiat pieces OF
iron, set them on firm foundation and
see what gun-cotton would do in forcing
the iron pieces together. The reaction
was so great from just being exploded in
the open air that one Of the iron pieces
was driven down upon the other quick
enough to catch an exact and complete
impression of the leaves before they could
escape. 1t is also singular fact that
the gun-cotton itself should sink deep
into the iron when it explodes, showing
the points of the letters stamped into the
cartridges. This novel method of en-
craving by gunpowder is one of the
wonders of this century CleoeIand

Professor Shaler, the eminent geolo'
gist and magazine writer, notes it as an
extraordinary fact that while the New
World has contributed to civilization
long list of valuable plants, cereals, fruits
and vegetables, it has made only one ad-
dition to the animals in domestication,
and that IS the turkey. That was a
contribution worth thanksgiving, how
ever, and now there is a prospect that it
may be reinforced by another American
product, the prairie chicken. Numbers
of these have been introduced in the
meadows about Bradenburg, Germany,
and their propagation is believed to be
practicable.

Wears His Girls Hair.

A young man of many good points,
but with none on his head, was for five
years, writes Clara Belle, a victim to the
promises of the tonsorial artist, who
guaranteed to bring out hair on his shiny
pate, but who did not keep his word.
Some men confde their love affairs to the
tailors, Others to their doctors, and still
others to the men that mix their cock
tails. This young man, upon losing his
heart to sweet and promising maiden,
confded his passion to the barber. That
worthy sympathized with him deeply,
and redoubled his exertions to lure the
downy fringe upon the head Of Romeo,
but without effect. Finally both the bar
Der and the lover lost hope together, and
twas then that the young man made a
trembling proposition.

said he, "although, of course, mine is
not unpleasant to her. Nevertheless, she
prefers to have it covered, and so we have
reached conclusion. always said, you

but Louise has placed the matterin such
light that l have acceded to her desires
and will have one made. Louise's hair
is just the color of the fringe over my
ears, you see, and it hangs away down
below her waist. She is going to sacri-
fee enough of it to make me a toupee,
and then, by Jovel 1 shall be wearing
the same hair that my girl does. Louise
was awfully tender about suggesting the
thing. Sweet of her, wasn't it2 Oh,

AN AUTUMN MORNING.

There are crimson clouds and feathery
forms
In upper air.
And bright shapes tinged with varying hue
Stretched everywhere.
Some seem TO swell and then unfold,
Like blossoms rare,
From out dim space, and then, like dew,
Dissolve in air.
Below them rise up weightier clouds
And misty banks,
And here and there tall specters rise
In serried ranks,
Although the sky is azure-hued
Above them ALL
While on our heads boundless wealth
OF sunbeams fall.
Was ever sky more beautiful,
Or breath more sweet7
Or greener boughs, or softer mat
Beneath our feet?
We thank Thee, Father, for the earth,
So beautiful;
We thank Thee for Thy gifts 30 us,
So bountiful;
For bud and bloom, for ripening fruit;
Each benson
Is fair to see. Lord, bring our hearts
In unison
With Thy dear self. May this new day
Be spent Alright.
And every busy day that glides
Into the night
Until their dawns for us are DER,
And we at last
Into yon haven moor our bark,
All tempests past.

To Prevent Droughts.

DIR. Felix l.. Oswald asserts in the
Voice, that the substitution OF perennial
for annual food plants would have the
Incidental advantage Of preventing the
ruin of crops by summer droughts.
Forest trees, especially such leaf trees as
oaks and elnJ, undoubtedly help to
equalize the humidity of the atmosphere,
1. O., to prevent droughts as we'll as
winter floods. Large plantations OF
fruit trees would have similar effect,
while cereals or extensive vineyards seem
to have no more influence ON the annual
rainfall than the dusty sage-shrabs of our
western prairies.

"Every traveller has noticed, observes
the st. Louis Star Sayings, "that rail
roads get rid of their old, discarded ties
by burning them up. The ordinary
practice is to place them in piles as near
the rails as possible and then set fire TO
them, to the great annoyance and dis
comfort of passengers. At the same time
there are thousands of families on the
line of the road who would be glad to
take these ties away and use them for
fuel"

The English Industries states that
novel industry, resting strictly on chemi'
cal principles and needing nothing but
little capital and dash of dishonesty to
develop it, is said to be practiced in
Florida. 1t consists in avoiding depend
ence upon the slow and imperfect ripen-
ing Of lemons by the suns rays, by pick
ing the fruit while green and exposing it
to the fumes of burning sulphur, where
by its color is changed to a rich golden
yellow, infinitely more attractive than
the natural hue. "It is true that the
interior of the lemon is practically free
from juice, fact which the hypercrid-
cal might reckon slight drawback,
but this is, after all, trivial matter,
affecting only the consumer" is the salve
applied to the conscience.

RATKa OF ADVERTISING.
AsoNo FOR THE PRINTING PRESS.

A Song for the Press; the Printing Press,
That has ruled the world alone,
Since the finger of God first gave His laws
On the tablet of senseless stone;
Since a spark of His wisdom down sent
Woke the slumbering Thought to birth,
And the Press, as meteor, flashed thro' the
gloom,
The darkness that lowered DER earth.
A Song for the Press; more potent far,
Than the fiat of crowned king,
Than the cohorts Of war-than the steel-clad
men
Than the mightiest can bring.
Kingdoms, and tower and palace wall
That have braved a century's might,
Crumble In ruin, and totter--fall,
When the Press wakes the giant might.
A Song for the Press; a lever long sought,
The world to sway in times olden,
To check the power Of oppression's hand,
Break the rule Of the scepter golden,
Pierce the gloom of the dungeon, the cap
tive free.
Rive oak door and iron rod,
And sent broadcast DER sin-bound world,
The words of the living God.
A Song for the Press; the angel that lines
In light on its record page,
Each glorious thought and each noble deed
Each act of passing age;
The historian'sp pen, and the poets wand
Each triumph, each God-born rhyme
Is recorded there, and forever lives,
Defying the touch Of time.
A Song for the Press; like the armed men
That rushed DER Romes ivied wall,
When Liberty, swayed and trampled IN
dust
Cesar's pride and judgment hall;
| So its step awakes the downtrod one,
mid his traldom, his fear and doom,
And thunders in wrath round the crowned
king,
Foretelling of death and of doom.
A Song for the Press; the East-born star
OF religion--of iberty-power-
Untrammeled by wealth-by passion un-
swayed
IT'S the index--the scribe of each hour,
And still shall remain-still the slender
type
Shall ''click," and all nations bless,
And the last star from earth that ever fades
out,
he the God-moderd Printing Press.

Regularly every six months, 1t is said,
the Treasury Department at Washington
receives either 500 or a $50 bill which,
from all appearances, instead of being
made from plate, Is executed entirely
with pen. The work is of a very high
order, and several times these have ex-
capped detection and gone into circulation.
The counterfeiter has not yet been dis
covered. He seems to work for notoriety,
as he could not make a living in this
manner
