"Heard ye had nice time at Alice's."

spirit, ''nor never was treated betterl'
"Humph!" said Reuben. "Wal,

Reuben stared around the room.
"Why," said he, with lobster eyes of

Sink or Swim Eggs.

''Hi, there! These eggs don't swim,
exclaimed man in a Milwaukee restau-
rant one day last week.
He had been trying to float some soft
boiled eggs in glass of cold water.
"They don't swim2 Well, supposin'
they don't2" replied a waiter, who had
come to find out what the man was yell
ing about.
"That's what's the matter; supposin'
they don't. I'll tell you what's the
trouble pretty quick. Do you notice
that egg9 1t sinks to the bottom kerr

is in this town, and she says that an egg
that will sink in cold water like that af-
ter it has been sott-boilcd is jest about

The eggs that could not swim were
exchanged for others that were fried,
while number of other customers who
had soft.boiled eggs spoiled glasses of
cold water to find out whether their eggs
were sink eggs or swim eggs.-Pecks

Primitive Pottery.

The primitive potters kneaded clay by
hand and baked the articles made from
it in the sun, but they were very porous
and fragile. Then it occurred to the
potters to subject them to the action Of
the fire and thus increase their consist.
ency and resistance, but the wares still
remained porous, which led to the dis
covery of making them impermeable by
covering them with glaze. The early
glaze was, however, hardly more than o
varnish, and the white enamel glaze Of
the present day has been attained by a
long series of experiments too intricate
to detail in this column.
Pottery which is coated with this en-.
amel is by the French called faience. In
Italy it is known as majolca, because
the methods employed by the Italians
were imported from an island of thai
name.- PHILADELPHIA Record.

First American Water Works.

John Christopher Christensen, Dan.
ish Moraviau, built the first water works
In the United States in 1852 at Bethle-
hem, Penn. The machinery is thus de-
scribed in an early print. 1t consisted
of three single-acting force pumps, hav-
ing calibre of four inches and an
eighteen-inch stroke, which were worked
by triple crank and geared to an un-
dershot water wheel having diameter
of eighteen feet, and two feet clear in
the buckets. The total head of water
was two feet. On the shaft of the wheel
was wallower of thirty three rounds
and gearing into a spur-wheel of fifty
two cogs, attached to the crank. The
three piston rods were attached each to
a frame or cross-head working in
grooves to give them parallel motion
with the pump. This cross-head was of
wood, as were also all the parts contain
ing the grooves as guides.
Az first these works were capable of
raising the water to a perpendicular
height of seventy feet, but afterward
were so arranged that the power was in
creased to la feet.
AS late as 1882 the primitive affair
continued in full operation. Gum wood
was used in the construction of the first
rising main, because it was strong
enough to resist the great pressure at
that point, but the remainder was con.
posed of pitch pine. Thirty-six years
after this main was laid lead pipes were
substituted, and in 1913 iron ones were
introduced and served the purpose until
the works were replaced by those of
more modern pattern.-Detr0it Free

In no other department of the World S
Columbian Exposition, perhaps, will be
seen a greater diversity of exhibits than
in that of mines and mining. Not only
will there be dazzling array of dia-
monds, opals, emeralds and other gems,
and of the precious metals, but a most ex-
tensive collection of iron, copper, lead,
other ores, and of their product; of coal,
granite, marble, sandstone and other
building stone; of soils, salt, petroleum,
and, indeed, of almost everything, USE
full or beautiful, belonging to the mineral
kingdom. How extensive the mineral
exhibit from other countries will be, it is
yet too early to know, but the indica-
tions are that it will surpass any that has
heretofore been made. However that
may be, there is no doubt that the mineral
resources and products, not only of this
country as whole, but of each State and
section, will be of the most complete ana
representative description. Chief Skiff,
of the Department of Mines and Mining,
is confident that this will be the re-
suit of the plans which he is pursuing.

DOWN THE STREAM.

Lowell 1t began with glance.
Grew with the growing of fower2
Smiled in dreamful trance,
Reckoned not the passage Of hours:
Our passions flood rose ever,
Flowing for her and me,
Till the brook became a river,
And the river became a sea.
Grief! 1t began with word,
Grew with the winds that raved;
A prayer for pardon unheard,
Pardon in turn uncraved;
The bridge so easy to sever. 4,
The stream so swift to be free,
Till the brook became river,
And the river became a sea.
Life? 1t began with sigh,
Grew with the leaves that are dead /;
Its pleasures with wings to fly,
Its SORROWS with limbs of lead;
And rest remaineth never
For the wearier years to be,
Till the brook shall become river,
And the river become sea.

BETWEEN THE GATES.

Between the gates of birth and death
An old and sanity pilgrim passed,
With kok of one who witnesseth
The ,ng-sought goal at last.
10 tho iwhose reverent feet have found
The faster's footprints in thy way.
And walked thereon as holy ground,
A boon of thee pray.
my lack would borrow thy excess,
My feeble faith the strength of thine;
need thy souls white saintliness
To hide the stains of mine
The grace and favor else denied
May well be granted for thy sake"
So, tempted, doubling, sorely tried,
A younger pilgrim spake.
THY prayer, my son, transcends my gift;
Nopower is mine, " the sage replied,
''The burden of soul to lift.
Or stain of sin to hide.
"Howeer the outward life may seem,
For pardoning grace We all must pray;
No man his brother can redeem
Or souls ransom pay.
'Not always age is growth Of good;
Its years have losses with their gain;
Against some evil youth withstood
Its hands may strive in vain.
"With deeper voice than any speech
OF mortal lips from man to man,
What earth's unwisdom may not teach
The Spirit only can.
make thou that holy Guide thine owu,
And, following where it leads the way,
The known shall lapse in the unknown
As twilight into -.
1.-THE best of earth shall still remain,
And Heavens eternal years shall prove
That lifea and death, and joy and pain
Are ministers of Love-"

1t is difficult to estimate, confesses the
New York Neeos, the amount of money
that has been left in Europe this year by
American tourists. Taking all the ex-
penses into consideration, however, the
passages out and home and the average
sum disbursed on the other side, the
aggregate cannot be far from SIS, ,000,
900. All of this has to be paid
out of the products of labor in this coun-
try and if it is not returned in the shape
of the gold paid for our wheat, petrole-
um and other articles, it will represent
the cost paid by this country for the
pleasure of its citizens abroad.

of perpetual winter. But the experience

June to October, and winter is, in fact,
the dryest season of the year. In
