The Poets world,

Already never arose out of sheer
gladness of heart and lustihood of
fancy. To the poetic imagination
the difficulties, depravities and insult
ficiency of actual life have always
been especially manifest and oppres-
sive. But the poetic imagination at
its best never rests in discomfort, in
the mere apprehension and recital of
woes, 1t is creative and seeks rem
edy, orat leastar refuge. From the first
it has found some approach to that
peace and sincerity which it cannot
do without. but which actual life
seems to deny everywhere in nature.
Thus the poets favorite haunt has al
ways been the wales and the groves,
the flowery banks and The green
fields.
But nature wholly unpeopled still
failed to satisfy, and so the poets, in
their aspiration after earthly perfec-
ton, fell to colonizing their placid
retreats with the children of their
fancy. Thus came Arcady-the land
of fantastic shepherds and sheperd-
esses, where everybody was honest
and simple, where the tending of
sheep was but pastime, and the
chanting of madrigals the chief pur-
suit. it.-Scribners.

An Englishman who holds clerk.
ship in one of the prominent ship
ping houses of this city has for years
imported his clothes from London,
yet has never paid any duty and
never smuggled them in. At least
he has never smuggled them in the
usual ways adopted by those who
don't see the point of paying Uncle
Samuel for the privilege Of wearing
English clothing.
His plan is simple one, but it is
not likely to be followed by many
imitators. He has a friend on the
other side who is a tailor, and he
mails as a sample of cloth one leg of
pair of trousers, half of a waist
coat, the sleeve of q coat or half the
back, and the parcel is marked "sam-
pie" and comes wrapped in thick
brown paper opened at one end.
Sometimes it takes a month or six
weeks for full suit to arrive, part
coming via New York and occasion
ally part by Boston. The parts are
then sewed together by tailor here
and the suit is complete.
Only once in six years has parcel
been lost in transit, and it was half
the back of coat made of peculiar

lish clerk could not match He had
the rest dyed black and got sufficient
black cloth from local dealer to

The court house at Waldron. Ark,

street ia the unpicturesque hamlet
made it known that the jury in the
case of the State Of Arkansas versus
Abner Ray were ready to return
their verdict. What would it bel
Did they believe the defendant the
murderer of John Potts2 As if by
magic the old and the young, the
busy and the idle, the curious and
the Indifferent had swarmed into the
court room until every foot of space
was occupied.
Outside the languid air seemed
tremulous with the heat, and every
leaf hung limp and motionless. The
sult1y July day was oppressive and
the atmosphere of the room so sti-
fling that those assembled gasped for
breath. The scant furniture and
bare floor, the rough, whitewashed
walls and the rickety lamp with tin
reflector sitting upon little shelf
behind the judges chair, all told the
same story of mountaineer simplicity
and primitiveness.
A bag, bent with age, was whis-
pering the story of the crime to her
plump young neighbor, and said that
two witnesses had identified the body
found in Mill creek. The clerk nerv-
ously upset his inkstand, ard the
black stain on the white front of his
pine desk looked ghastly.
The judge ascended the little plat
form at the end of the room and
babe the sheriff clear an entran ce for
the jury. The struggling crowd was
parted little way, and twelve good
and lawful men filed in and stood fac
ing the prisoner, who sat exposed to
the gaze OF ALL His efforts to appear
calm were pitiful. Great drops of
sweatrolled down hisswarthy cheeks,
and he clutched the framework of
the chair on which he sat. Ten feet
back of him stood his sweetheart,
the beauty of the village, sobbing
softly and leaning upon her father
for support.
In thick, unsteady voice the fore
man read from the paper in his hand,
"We of the jury find the defendant
guilty as charged in the within in
dictment."
The condemned man rose from his
seat. His face was livid and his
muscles rigid. He stretched out one
hand as though he would speak, and
the next moment fell forward almost
at the foreman's feet-dead His
sweetheart's tears stopped falling
and her white lips quivered convu1-
siyely. but she could neither cry out
nor stir from her tracks.
Half dozen strong hands were
stretched out to lift the PROSTATE

Ramm,ng with an Ironciaa.

1t is a tremendous moment on
board a ram when the officer gives
the word of command to prepare for
ramming. Each man flings himself
fiat on his stomach, his elbows
squared, his face buried in his hands,
his head toward the ram. 1t is a
moment of fearful tension. The
great ironclad has been signaled to
go at full speed, and as the immense
pressure is forced upon her she vi
brates like thing Of life, darting
forward by giant leaps. Every man
is at his post. Every muscle is
braced, and brave hearts beat chok-
ingly for the few seconds that elapse
between the order to ram and the
awful crash-to many the crash of
doom. Once a Week.

How xen and women Meet Trouble.

How Nen and Women Meet Trouble.
Men and women meet the small
troubles of life very differently. In the
first place a woman often lacks that
sense of proportion which is neces-
sary to distinguish the lesser from
the greater ills; to her all troubles
are of the greatest magnitude and to
be mourned equally, The failure of
a new dress or of dinner party are
calamities over which she will some
times worry herself into a fever.
Most men would meet similar trou-
bles with shrug of the shoulders
and then speedily forget them. Then,
again, a woman does not forget easily
and Is given to brooding, nor is she so
swift to run away from her troubles
as q man is. Indeed she cannot be
easily induced to run away from
them at all; the contemplation of
them has fatal fascination for her.
In any small misfortune which
falls equally upon husband and wife,
in nine cases out of ten where the

it and hastens to turn his thoughts
into some other channels, the WON
an will seem to take almost a per-
verse pleasure in recalling it to her
mind and rejecting upon its actual
and possible consequences. Much of
this difference in their demeanor is
of course due to the difference of
their life. A man can easily run out
of doors and seek distraction, whereas
a woman's lot is to remain at home
and think. Indeed, we should say
that very much was owing to the
greater opportunity that a woman
possesses of contemplating her wor-
ries and brooding over them.-Lon-
don Spectator.

psvelopment OF water Power.

Japan has recently given a striking
example of what can be done in the
development of water power with
the aid of electricity. About seven
miles from the city of Kioto is Lake
Biwa, having an area of 500 miles at
an elevation of 143 feet. From the
lake to Kioto navigable canal has
been cut, involving two miles of tun-
mel and long aqueduct. On reach
ing the city there is decline of 11S

come by inclined laneways 2, 100 feet
in length, on which boats are raised
and lowered from one canal to the
other These planeways are operated
by electric motors, which are driven
by turbines using the fall just men
toned. The wheels are supplied with
water from the high level canal by
three lines of 36-inch pipe 1900 feet
in length, delivering the water under
a head of 100 feet
Not only do these water wheels
furnish power to run the electric gen.
orator for the planeway motors, but
they also operate another dynamo
whose current is distributed to mo-
tors which run rice mills, spinning
mills, watch factory, etc, and also
drive an arc and incandescent light
ing plant. The whole work cost
about 81, 500, 600. While the enter
prise was planned and executed by
the eminent japanese engineer Ten

the dynamos are American, and the

10 visit the famou, Park of Roses at

most beautiful in the world.
Both banks of the Var are Dor

height, which are prolonged as far as

Toward the southern extremity Of
these hills. on very rich, alluvial soil.
Is the Carras quarter, in which arc
the principal market gardens Of
Nice. In that quarter, also, little
higher up the hill. is the Josephine
villa, or Park of Roses.
Here roses are cultivated exclu-
sively for sale in winter as cut flow
ers. Out of the twenty-eight or
thirty acres which the property com
prises about ten acres are devoted to
the purpose Of forcing the rose trees,
and are covered with very numerous
small greenhouses or extensive hot
bed frames, one or the other Of thoee
being always in use for further,ng
the production of the flowers. The
total surface covered with glass ex-
cceds 6,000 square meters, or an acre
and a half.

of active sale, from November to
April, that the principal harvest oc.

show a purity of perfect tint, exempt
on the outside petals from the discol-
'oration, the veining and folds, which
are caused by the bite Of cold, TOO
warm sslnstrokes or prolonged llu-
midity.
During the summer the movable
sides Of the greenhouses are taken
away, and there remains only the
glass roof which protects the flow ers
from the transforms.
The proprietor and founder of the
establishment Is Mr.. Antoine Mari.
It may be said that the most striking
feature Of his mode Of cultivation is
the simplicity of the means employed
and their perfect adaptation to the
end to be attained, which is to obtain
an abundant and continued produc-
ton OF flowers without great expense
and without exbausting the plants.
A rosebush, as is known, does not
require high temperature. Certain
varieties, lilre the saffron rose con-

An Ingenious Conductor.

On Maine Central train not long ago a
lady passed a conductor one full ticket and
two half tickets, the latter being for pair
of youngsters that looked old enough to
pay full fare The conductor asked their
age. Ten and eleven" the lady replied.
On the conductors face there was a look
of external doubt, but there was no way to
disprove her statement then. Later on the
boys went into the smoking car. and there
the genial conductor IN due time found
them.
They had chat about lot of things,
and during the chat each boy told in what
year he was born. 1t was only matter of
subtraction to learn that one boy was IF
teen and the other seventeen
The conductor went back to the lady and
blandly demanded the balance of the fare,
saying, your boys were born on such and
such days and are fifteen and seventeen.

How Scissors Are Made.

Though no complexities are involved in
the making OF scissors or much skill re-
quired, yet the process of manufacture Is
very interesting. They are forged from
good bar steel heated to redness, each blade
being cut off with sufficient metal TO form
the shank. or that destined to become the
cutting part, and bow, or that which later
on is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow small hole is punched, and
this is afterwari expanded 10 the, required
size by hammering 1T on a conical anvil,
after which both, shank and bow are filed
into a more perfect shape and the hole
bored in the middle. for the rivet. The
blades are next ground and the handles
filed smooth and FURNISHED with oil and
emery, after which the pairs are fitted to-
gether and tested % to their easy working
They are not get finished, however; they
have to undergo hardening and tempering
and be again adjusted, after which they
are finallyput together again and polished
for the third tirie:TIn comparing the edges
of knives and scissors il will be noticed Of
course that the latter are not in any way
SO sharply ground as the former, and that
in cutting, scissors crush and bruise more
than knives.-Montreal Star.
