Wood Like Iron.

The jarrah wood is species of euca-
lyptus native to western Australia. The
main difficulties in connection with its
use in this country are the cost of freight
for such heavy timber from Australia
and its intense hardness, which makes
it difficult to ordinary English carpen-
ters' tools to work it. The tree which
produces it grows generally to height
of 100 feet, and sometimes 150 feet. 1t
is found only in western Australia, ex-
tending over the greater portion of
the country from the Moore River to
King Georges Sound, forming mainly
the forests of these tracts. According
to Baron Mueller, when selected from
hilly localities, cut while the sap is least
active and subsequently carefully dried,
it proves impervious to the boring of in
sects Vessels constructed solely of it
have, after 25 years constant service,
remained perfectly sound although not
coppered. 1t has been tried at three
places in the Suez canal, and after hav-
ing been down seven years the trial sam
PIES were taken up in order that report
on their condition might be sent to Paris.
From certain correspondence between
Kew and some London vestries it APP
pears that jarrah has lately been used
by the Chelsea Vestry for paving the
Kings road, and by the Lambeth Vestry
in the Westminster Bridge road.

FATHERS WAY.

Ny father was no pessimist; he loved the
things Of earth,
Its cheerfu.ness and sunshine, its music and
its mirth;
He never sighed or moped around whenever
things went wrong;
Warrant me he'd Knocked at fate with some
defiant song.
But, being he warn't much on tune, whenever
times were blue,
He'd whistle softly to himself the only tune
he knew.
Now, mother, when she learned that tune
which father whistled so,
Would say |; J" There's something wrong to-day
with Ephraim, know,
He never les to make believe he's happy that
ere way,
But that I'm certain as can be some trouble is
to payi''
And 30, betimes, quite natural like, to us OBJ
servant youth,
There seemed suggestion in that tune Of deep
pathetlc truth.
When Brother William Joined the war a lot
of us went down
To see the gallant soldier boys right gayly out
of town;
A-ccnin' home, poor mother cried as If her
heart would break,
And all us children, too, for hers and not for
Williams sakeI
But father, trudgn' on ahead, his hands be-
hind him SO,
Kept whistlin' to himself, SO sort of solemn
like and low.
And when my eldest sister Sue was married
and went west,
Seemed ike it took the tuck right out OF
mother and the rest;
She was the sunlight in our home; why, father
used to say
1t wouldn't seem like home at all If Sue should
go away
Yet, wien he went a-leaven' us all sorrow
and all tears,
Poor father whistled lonesome ike, and went
t. feed the steers.
When crops were bad, and ether ills befell
cur omely lot.
He'd set around and try act as if he minded
not;
And when came death and bore away the one
he worshipped so,
How vainl, did his lips belle the heart be.
numbed with woe!
You the tell ta.e whistle told mood he'd
not admit;
He'd always quit his VIII slim when he thought
we noticed it.
I'd like to see ii at STOPPING form and hoary
head again,
To see the h ne t, hearty smile that cheered
his fellow men;
Oh, could kiss he kindly lips that spake no
creature wrong,
And share the rapture of that heart that over
flowed with song;
Oh, could J hear the little tune he whistled
long ago,
When be did battle with the griefs he would
not have us know.

His Text.

A rising young minister, very absent
minded, very earnest, and very sensitive,
hurrying to church one Sunday morn
ing and going into the pulpit late, was
horrif ID to discover that he had not his
carefully written sermon with him.
The service had begun by the singing Of
the anthem, but he called up one of his
neighbor's boys, and gave him hurried
directions about his study and the proba-
BILE location of the sermon, and sent him
post haste to get it and return as fast as
possible. The service proceeded, and
still the boy did not appear
The young preacher was in agony.
He had never preached without notes,
and the perspiration stood in great beads
on his forehead, as he wondered what
he would do if the sermon did not
come. Finally. just as the last stanza
of the hymn which preceded the SER
mon was being sung the boy appeared,
rushed up the aisle conspicuously, and
handed the minister his manuscript.
The clergyman took the package nefv-
ously, opened it, and during profound
stiffness announced the text Not until
he had spoken it, did the meaning of it
flash over him. 1t was this:
Rejoice with me; for have found
the piece which was lostl"
This was too much for the audience.
The people laughed outright But the
lesson was good one for the minister,
who never forgot his sermon again while
in that parish.

Java Coffee Scarce.

The failure of the Java coffee crop, as
shown by the official report of the Dutch
government, is even more serious than
had been supposed The total yield Of
the government plantations last year is
put down at 95 AGO piculs, whereas the
average annual yield is not much less
than million. The most discouraging
feature of this failure of the Java coffee
crop, however, is the fact that it is
chiefly due to destructive disease of
the leaf, which has already ravaged the
coffee plant in Ceylon and southern
India. This means that, until science
shall provide some remedy, the coffee
plantations Of Java can not hope to re-
gain their former prestige. and that the
reduction will be felt year after year,

The pose plastique is the present craze
with those who entertain extravagantly.
1t is a form of amusement that diverts
both old and young and is SO simple in
its accounterments that it is within the
reach of any young woman of artistic
tastes who delights in gathering occa-
sional congenial company. To present
statue poses a temporary stage is erected
in the parlor or the drawing room and
i, hung severely in folds of black cam
Lr.c. With the exception of small
lanteri to illuminate the stage, the lights
are all turned out. thus bringing into
sharp relief the poseuror poseure, as the
case may be.
Much attention is given by the poser
to the dress and make up. which are
qhite as important in producing effects
q, attitudes OF course it is taken for
granted that the poser is Delsartian and
accomplished in all 1.-THE supple turns
of the lody and facial ex ,ressions. If
the poser be of feminine gender her
costume must be a gown of white CASH
mere or cheese cloth, cut in Parthenia
like fashion, falling loose from the low
neck and drawn in slightly at the waist
with a knotted white cord The wig
must be white and the hair caught in a
genuine Pss che knot at the back.
Or if a more simple and classic gown
is preferred take two linen sheets, sew
the sides together within half yard of
the wide hem at the top Through this
hem run a tape shirr string, sufficient in
length to fit snugly over the chest. Slip
the arms through the side openings,
arrange the gathers in folds, and confine
waist loosely with white cotton cord.
This long skirt will allow graceful drap-
ing around the feet, especially if the
poser is on pedestal or other elevation.
The hair is coiled fiat on the top of the
head and completely covered with a
tight fitting cap of canton flannel. The
cap is made in five sections and finished
with an inch broad braid made of three
strands of the flannel. Neck, arms, and
face must be>whitened and the toilet is
complete. A man must wear sort of
Roman toga, white tights, and buskins,
and white wig.
There are a number of pretty poses
that may be done by two persons,

/ MEMORY OF THE OLD FARm.

II you've been happy rover
Through the fields of fragrant clover,
Where life is all simple round Of bliss,
When at eve the sun is sinking
And the stars are family winkng
You can call to mind picture suchas this:
Harkl the COWS are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,
! can hear them gently lowing through the
dell-,
And from out the bosky dingle
Comes the softly tangled Jingle
And the oft-repeated echo of the bells.
Strange how memory will fling her
Arms about some scenes we bring her,
And the fieeting years but make them stronger
grow
Though wander far and sadly
From that dear old home, how gladly
Irecall the cherished scenes of long ago.
Hark! the COWS are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,
can hear them gently lowing through the
dells,
And from out the bosky dingle
Comes the softly tangled jingle
And the oft-repeated echo of the bells.

Since she went home
The evening shadows longer linger here.
2 he winter days fill so much of the year,
And oven summer winds are chill and drear
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched minor strain,
The old, glad songs breathe but a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty room her presence
blessed.
Untouched the pillow that her dear head
pressed,
Ny lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest
Since she went home
Since she went home
The long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts
and fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely
tears
Since she went home.
