Bat Lack Of Capital Prevented the In.
veater FROM Making u Fortune.
My friend b isn't rich It isn't likely
that he ever will be rich But he firmly
believes that he would have been very
rich man by this time if he had only been
able to command a little capital few
years ago.
When ne conceived the great scheme
which ought to have realized fortune
for him he was clerk in a gas works
II wasn't one Of your new tangled works
where they make gas out of water,
and heaven knows what besides, but one
of the old fashioned. honest sort in which
gas was extracted from coal and nothing
else Everybody is supposed to know.
and OF course doesn't know, that one Of
the chief impurities OK the crude gas.
after it Is expelled from the coal by Che
fierce heat OF the retorts, is sulphur
This sulphuE, or the larger portion of 1t,
is got rid Of by passing the gas through
a series OF boxes called purifiers filed
with lime. When the lime has absorbed
all the sulphur that it is capable Of hold
ing it is removed and fresh lime Is sub.
stituted. The sulphur saturated lime
emits verg pungent and disagreeable
door, especially when the cover IS first
lifted from the box and the lime, being
hot, throws off clouds Of steam.
Some doctors have notion, whether
well or i'll founded don't pretend to
know, that this hot, foul smelling vapor
is capital remedy for whooping cough.
At all events lots Of mothers believe
them. and when whooping cough Is prey
alent bring their afflicted little ones TO
the nearest gas works to inhale Ii. II was
when several suffering youngsters were
shutting up the vapor and the odor
around one Of the purifying boxes where
he worked that the inspiration seized
him. 1t was nothing less than to take
this foul lime, bottle it up, give it high
sounding name and sell it as specific
for wheoping cough, offering reward
OF $500 for any case that it couldn't cure.
and all that sort of thing
"Jeewhittaker" he exclaimed, eHthu-
siastieally, when expounding the scheme
to me. ".last think Of the dead loads Of
money that is in it'll The lime doesn't
cost anything; the company pays to have

A TWILIGHT SONG.

The thrush has pfped his last clear note
To herald twilight's hour,
Anu fragrant breezes gently float
Around your silent bower.
Now drops the dllsky rebe OF Night.
And. claspiRg it above.
One jeweied star shines clear and bright
II Is the Star of Lowell
Yet cold and eheerless seems its ray,
Sweetheart while you are far away.
The fountain, like fairy lutte,
In tinkling cadence falls;
And through the wood, with titful hoot.
His mite the owLet calls.
The crescent moon behind the HID
Creeps up with siivery light:
Yet round your bower linRer still.
While evening grows To Ikght,
And eonni each weary hour day.
Sweetheart while you are far away.
