Through the mazes Of the dancing,
Daph1e's form is softly glancing;
forgot all other pleasure
Watching as she glides along,
Tripping to the dances measure,
Fairest maid amid the throng.
IT'S sight I'll ne'er forget,
Daphne in the minuet.
Daphnc's cheeks are gently flushing:
Tinge so faint is hardly biushing;
On her lips o. sweet smile Nsngers
And her eyes dilate and shine.
When touch her dainty fingers,
All the bliss of heaven seems mine.
But my brain is quite upset
Dancing in the minuet.
My poor heart with love is burning,
When take her hand in turning,
Daphne smiles at me above her,
i adore her! Does she know?
Maybe, when the dance is over,
She will let me tell her so.
Cupid's caught me in his net
Dancing in the minuet.

He might have in singlsness tarried;
But he wanted a well prepared dinner each

And cook he made love to and married.

If for good cook he was looking;
She declares that she didn't get married to

But to have some one else do her cooking.

II these manufacturers require it that
he shall produce to them the certificate
of the custom house to show that he
has exported them for sale abroad"
In the latest export edition of the
New York Engineering and Mining
Journal is list of American manufact-
ures with the special discount trade to
foreign buyers. This list covers forty
two columns of closely printed matter,
and gives the discount on table cutlery
for export at 25 per cent in the Re-
form clubs pamphlet on export dis
counts, issued last year, the following
statement is made:
On knives, forks, spoons and other
fiat ware listed at $40, the price to the
dealer in the 'home market" is ST. 36;
but buyer for export, regardless of
the quantity he may take, pays only
IS. 73 for the same articles. The largest
manufacturers of these goods have con-
solidated their interests, and in this
way control prices as we'll as though a
trust had been formed. That the pub
lie generally may not become aware of
this, the goods are sold with the stamps
of the old companies, as though no
change had taken place.
And such are the protected cutters
to the American people!'
