DROWNED.


Down upon the beach Of sand
When the nights fierce storm was DER,
And the mornings tender hand
Touched with Hight the wrcckstrewr
shore,
Fishers n their suits Of gray
Found her body wkers II lay
Csid AID 1flsi.3s on the shore.
Beautiful was she. and fair,
Pale ~ marble; and her hair
Seemed like golden threads just spun
From summer MONDAY sun;
And the curtains other eyes
Fastsned down b5 fringe Of gold
Hid the tiny azure skies
Underneath thor velvet fold
Scarce dozen summers old
Was this little maid they found.
Cold and lifeless on the ground
So the fishers sadly spread
On the beach ragged coat,
Laid upon It Bcauty's dead;
Lifted her into their boat.
TearfuIiy, these fishers brown
Kowed In silence TO the town.
Where the busy, busting throng,
Halt In sorrow, half In song.
On Its way moves up and down.
In the holy chapel places
With . smile upon her face,
Like an angel did she seem
Smiling III happy dreaml
Now the nshers hear the peal
OF the solemn music steal
Through the chapers scented airs
Now with heavy hearts thoy kneel
While the good priest HITS his prayer
For their1ittle maiden there:
tr1,d ~ tr..&.r an-th - -.
Look upon us from above
In Thy mercy while we pray.
Doth another far away
Long t0see her child againf
Heal, God her grief with Lowell
Comfort with Thy blessed grace
All who miss this little faco.
Rless, o Gad. these flshermenl- ,--
Z Fill their hearts with love; and when
They like this fair child shall sleep
When LIES rugged hill and steep
Shall be climbcd-we pray thee, take
Thorn to Thee, for Jesus sakei
For His sake, kind God Ameu.n
Then the fishers said; Anon"
Twas as II an angel slept
In the chapel where she slept
When the service was dismissed,
Came the fishers old, and kissed
Kissed her tcnderly, and wept.
She was laid beneath tree
Near the eversobbing sea.
Where the birds IN summer tfme=5
Sing and tell In saddsst rhyme,
How this little rose, unknown,
On the oceans swelling wave
To the sandy shore was blown;
How the fishers came TO weep,
Ere they put forth on tho deep, $500 :
Here beside the littlo grave.

PERUVIAN "PIG-sKINS."


The Exceedingly Cruel Manner in Which
They Are Obtained.
The most blood-curdling, cruel thing
that has yet come under my observa-
tion, writes a South American CORE
spondent is the manner in which are
obtained the so-called "pig-skins" that
so commonly serve for bottles and
casks They are not the hides of pigs,
but those of sheep, and, horrible to re-
late, are pulled off the living animal,
the poor sheep being actually skinned
alive, or more correctly speaking,
skinned dead, for, of course, he does
not long survive the operation. The
modus operandi is as follows:
The beasts are driven, one by one, to
the appointed place and firmly tied to
stake. Then the hide is neatly cut
around the neck and down the middle,
without touching the flesh or severing
the arteries or hurting the ANNUAL
much; after which hooks are fastened
into the loosened skin, a rope being
attached to each hook; strong men
take firm grip on the ropes and pull
backward, pulling and pulling until
|, the hide is torn off clean to the tail. 1T
is said that during this frightful
torture theories of the poor sheep are
almost human in their expression of
agony and that the bloody, quivering
mass sometimes lives several minutes.
The only excuse for the barbarous
practice is that the skins are much
more flexible and durable when thus
taken off alive than when the animals
are dead. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

such cases organization and AUTOMATIC

new industry created by developing and
supplying new want, the work must
be done IN the small establishment, and
for the development of these, when
often give the largest return for LABOR
expended, small powers are necessary.
late number of Kuhlow's German
Trade Review calls attention 70 the
growing demand for these small pow
ers, declaring: This question interests
at present the widest circles. State ad-
ministrations, representatives OF COM
munities, and the large number OF small
industries are occupied with its soiv-

mentioned The gas referred to is evil

water gas IS little used outside OF this
country.
Both gas and compressed air can be
readily stored In most places gas works
are already established, with pipes OF
sufficient capacity, and the industrial
demand occurring in the daytime would
only call for more retorts. When, how
ever, the pipes are too small or the cost

Kuhlow's giving several new installa-
I
tions of large compressed air plants,
some of them by gas companies, and
refers to the large plant in Rue St
Fargean, Paris, where engines OF about
5000 horsepower are used. AS IS
pointed out, compressed air directly
ventilates the room in which 1t lsluseas
and it also cools the air, while by heat
ing the air before use to from 25o to 800
degrees Fahrenheit, its expansive force

In this country small industries have.
until the recent introduction of electric
motors, generally gone to the powers
which have been delivered by belts
from lines or shafting running through
the shops, while large buildings de-
voted to many small industries will
probably never go out of use, there will
be an increasing numbered detached
small factories using power intermit-
tently scattered through our cities
