1T is ALWAYS so.

Across the meadow, with clover sweet,
| wandered one evening with weary feet,
For my heart was heavy, with untold woe,
For everything seemed TO go wrong, you know
Twas one Of those days whose cares and strife
Quite oyershadow the good in life.
So. lone and sad, meath the twilight stars,
| wandered down to the pasture bars,
To the pasture bars, meath the hillside steep,
Where patiently waited a flock Of sheep
FOR the happy boy, with whistle and shout,
Who was even now coming to turn them out.
Good evening"" said he, with boyish grace
And a smile Dit up his handsome face.
He let down the bars; then we both stepped
back,
And said, "You have more white sheep than
black"
"why, yes" he replied, land didn't you know
More white than black; why, It's always sol"
He soon passed on with his flock round the hill
But down by the pasture fingered still,
pondering well on the words Of the lad,
more white than black, " more good than bad
More 10y than sorrow, more bliss than woe;
more white than black" and " tits always so!
And since that hour, when troubles rife,
Gather and threaten to shroud my life
Or see some soul on the downward track
/ cry, there are more white sheep than black.
And thank my God that learned TO know
The blessed fact, II is always so.

Seedless Fruits.

Seedless apples were known to the an
clients, and since then many mentions
have been made of the same fact.
Within the last century not only seed
less fruits, but those preceded by no
blossoms have been occasionally met
with. Thus the mo blow variety was
without apparent blossom and bore no
seed. Other examples of the same pc
culiarity have appeared under different
names. In the common cherry the
kernel or embryo of the seed is fre-
quently abortive, and therefore useless
for termination. The second bloom of
pears and of Strawberries is often
doubled. Pistillate varieties of the
latter fruit will sometimes produce
berries, but without seeds. The banana
is one of the best illustrations of seed
less fruit. There are many varieties of
this tropical fruit, and it is probably
true that the wild plants were seed
bearing, The so-called ''dried currants''
are seedless grapes from Corinth In
California this grape produces seeds,
and attempts to raise the standard
article have failed. On the other hand,
the Sultana grape of California is seed
less, as are also some vines of the Black
Hamburg. Agriculturist.

REGARDING eoPE.



How It IL Manufacture and How It Wears
Out.
1t is stated that the reason why IL Is
necessary to take out the turns" in
new rope, and that it is untwisted when
first put to work, is that in making
ropes, the flbers are first spun into yarn,
this yarn being twisted In direction
called right hand. From twenty to one
hundred OF these yarns are then put to-
gethor and twisted in an opposite direc-
tion, or left handed. This forms sim
gle strand Of rope; from three to four OF
these strands are again twisted to-
gether, and IL will be noticed that as this
twisting is again in the right hand di-
rection, it untwists the strands and
again twists up the yarn. When q
weight is placed upon one end Of the
rope, its tendency is to untwist and be-
come longer, and the untwisting will
continue until the strain of tho un-
twisted strand just equals the strain of
the yarn being twisted together.
II it were possible, in making rope,
to put in just enough twist so that these
strains should balance each other, then
there would be no necessity for taking
out the turns when new rope is put to
work. The greater the t, ist, the harder
the rope, and to the contrary, rope
with little twist is much softer and
stronger. The reason for this is easily
seen, as in a tightly twisted rope the
strain does not come as near in the
direction of the length of the rope; that
is, the fibers lie at greater angle to
the axis of the rope, and weight upon
the rope forms a breaking instead of a
stretching strain.
Ropes sometimes wear out internally
while apparently sound outside. This
is caused by bending the rope over a
sheave. In doing this the fbers slide a
small distance upon each other and
eventually wear out. In tho best ropes
this wearing out is prevented by lubri.
eating the strand with plum bago, mixed
with small quantity of tallow, just
sufficient to hold it in place.
In designing pulleys, they should not
be made less than forty diameters of the
rope; this is the limit of economical
wear and they may be made as much
larger as practicable. The speed OF
ropes may vary from $500 to 5000 feet
per minute. If five feet be taken as
minimum diameter Of a pulley for a
rope one and half inches in diameter
and running $500 feet per minute, the
pulley should increase one foot in di.
ameter for each 1000 added revolutions
per minute.-Journal of Commerce.
