Ll1ht Without FIro.

To obtain light instantly, without
the use of matches and without the dan
ger Of setting things on fire is. according
to the Mining and Scientific Press, an
easy matter. Take long vial of the
clearest glass. put into 1t piece OF
phosphorus about the size Of IL pea.
Upon this pour some pure olive oil
heated to the boiling point, the bottle to
be filed one third full; then cork tightly.
To use the light remove the cork, allow
the air to enter, and then recork. The
whole empty space in the bottle will be-
come luminous and the light obtained
will be good one. As soon as the light
becomes dim its power can be increased
by opening the bottle and allowing Il
fresh supply Of air to enter In very
cold weather it is sometimes necessary
to heat the vial between the hands to in
crease the huility of the oil, III | one
bottle will last all winter. This ingen-
ious contrivance may be carried in the
pocket, and is used by watchmen of
Paris in all magazines where explosives
OF inhammable materials are stored.

THE NORTH STAR.

When twilights purple veil Ia furled
Beyond the western verge Of day,
And slowly DER the darkened world
The stars come forth In bright array.-
When Venus hides her burning face
Upon old Oceans troubled breast,
Or. weary Of his march through space.
Mars camps behind the mountain crest:
The sailor on the moonless sea,
The pilgrim Of the trackess plain.
The bondman, PAINTING to be free.
Turn northward aud take heart again;
For there. above unmeasured heights,
An emblem of eternal truth
Unchanged amidst the charming lights,
The North Star lifts her crown of youth.
Self-centred In tho houndless blue,
Calm dweller OF the vast unknown,
Forever tender, strong and true.
Serencly FROM her distant throne
She gazes down the voiceless deep
While worlds are drifting at ner feet
And mighty consultations sweep
Around her life an endless fleet;
The Northern Lights across her fling
The glory OF their dancing spears,
The Morning star beneath her sing
The chorus of Creations year,
Ana while the systems sink and rise
And planets to each other nod
The ligut streams form her tranquil eyes
. As steadfast as the love of God
-lYouth's Companion.

The pen is mighty, and was never
mightier than to-day; but there are
times when it is vain thing for safety.
A gentleman touring through England
stayed all night at prim old lady's cot
tage, the village inn being full. He was
very deaf, and took pains to impress the
fact upon his hostess, with instructions
that someone must enter his room to
wake him at particular hour in the
morning.
On waking good deal later than the
time appointed he found that the old
lady, with a commendable regard for
proprety, had slipped under his door a
piece of paper on which was written:
"Sir, it is half past seven!"
