Isaiah has the following remark
able passage:

make the heart of this people fat,
and make their ears heavy, and shut
their eyes; lest they see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their hearts, and
convert and be- healed. Then said 1.
Lord, how long? And he answered.
Until tho cities be wasted without in-
habitant, and the houses without
man, and the land he utterly
desolats, and the Lord have removed
men far away, and there be a great
forsaking in the midst Of the land.

The lovers are whispering under thy shade,
Gray tower of Dalmeny
leave them and wander alone IN the glaoe
Beneath the Dalmeny
Their thoughts are of all the bright years

But mine are of days and of dreams that are
gone
They see the fair flowers spring has thrown on
the grass,
And the clouds in the blue light their eyes as
they pass
But my feet are deep down in drift of dead
leaves.
And hear what they hear not. lone bird

What matter? Z? the end is not far for us all,
And spring, through the summer, to winter

And the lovers light hearts, cen as mine,

Everybody knows how terribly explo-
sive nitro-glycerine is under conclusion,
said a dealer in oil well supplies from
Bradford, Pa, "but few know the lasting
properties of the explosive, and how next
to impossible it is to destroy its deadly
qualities. In manufacturing nitro-gly-
cerine one of the processes is to strain 1t
through felt, usually through crowns OF
old felt hats, they having been found not
only the most convenient and effective
for the purpose, but also preferable for
economy. This felt is burned up after
using, to do away with all danger that
would undoubtedly result from careless
handling of it afterward.
"At one of the factories in the north
ern oil field once an employe resolved to
test the life of nitro-glycerine, and he
took hat crown that had been used as
q strainer, washed it thoroughly, and
then put it through course of treatment
with alkalis. He laid the felt away on a
shelf out of the reach and knowledge OF
any one else in the factory. 1t lay there
two years, and one day the man happen
ed to think of it and took it down. Work
ers about nitro-glyceripe are notoriously
reckless, but the most careful and tlmid
man would scarcely have had any fear
of this two-year-old strainer, especially
after the treatment it had received. The
workman had no idea that there could
possibly remain in the felt the slightest
suspicion of danger, and to show that the
stuff had been annihilated he put the felt
on the iron arm of the timers bench,
where the cans for holding the explosive
are soldered and struck it with hammer.
The result was a surprise to that factory.
An explosion followed that broke both
arms of the workman, stunned three or
four other men, hurled the heavy iron
arm through two-foot wall, and wreck
ed the timing shop.
Nitro-glycerine can't be annihilated,
and from the careless manner in which
it has been handled ever since its use in
the oil regions it is wonder there is a
town standing in the whole field"

In parts of Missouri nothing is COM
moner in out-of-the-way places than a sol

paniOn. In one of these remote mines
there was kept, hundred feet below the
surface, little old mule, whose business
it was to draw the loaded cars up the in
clined plane to the foot of the shaft.
Back and forth, back and forth it made
its dismal journeys during working hours
and at night was left alone in corner
fitted up as stable, to await in silence
and utter darkness the return of its hui
man comrades,
For five long years it had never
breathed the upper air, or seen the light
of day. 1t was a great pet with the mi
ners, who used to bring it punches Of
fresh grass in summer or Jumps of sugar
and apples in winter.
One night, when the mule was being
embarrassed, some one proposed taking
"Jinny" up in the cage. 1t was done
her tremor as the cage began to ascend
were soothed by the assuring words and
caresses of her companions, and soon she
found herself restored to a mules natural
privileges.
The next morning when the time came
to 90 to work "Jinny" positively refused
to return. Neither persuasion nor threats
could induce her to approach the shaft
and step into the waiting cage.
A council was held. The miners, touch
ed by what the poor brute had suffered
in her five years of isolation, re
preached themselves that her imprison
ment had been 50 long, at length solved
the problem by subscribing on the spot

loosed and turned out to grass.
For years afterwards she could be seen
nibbling the grass near the shaft, ol
sheltering herself behind liberal hay.

her. When working hours were oyel
she was sure to be near the shaft, where
she could mutely testify to her liberator:
as they came up, that she was the hap
piest mule in Missouri.

During the war two recently arrived Irish
men who had made up their minds to enlist
in the service fthe republic, but were hesi-
tating between the army aud the navy, went
on one Of the gun boats at the Brooklyn
navy yard in pursuit Of information. The
man-of-war had just been placed in commits
sion and was ready for immediate service,
but wa delayed By lack Of men to man the
ship.
When the errand Of the two grecnhorns
was made known 10 the officer on deck he
left them alone in order to fetch some one
whose persuasive powers would be sufficient
to attach the Irishmen to the crew. While
he was gone they noticed one Of the huge
cannon and one observed to the other: "Is
that big gun loaded over there, dunno"
"Me nayther, Michael" answered his
friend, "but If il wasn't for losin' the bullet
I'd foir it off and see"
"Pll save the bullet for yez, " said Mike, as
he saw a big iron kettle near by. So he put
the pot over the muzzle Of the gun, got
astride Of the barrel, took a firm grasp Of the
bail with both hands and gave the signal.
His fellow-countryman knocked the con-
tents Of his pipe into the vent, heard ter
rife roar and didn't recover conciousness af-
ter being stunned by the force Of the
recoil until the officer surrounded by body
of sailors, shook him awake.
