FILA TTERY.

Oh, you pretty robin, keeping watch beside q
lowly dweAing,
Where the happy sunshine rushes Ger the
gorse bloom bri GIT and gay:
Where the blackbirds and the thrushes are
their loud love stories telling
Do you know, I fancy, robin, you as sweetly
sing as they?
Do you see that verdant meadow where the
buttercups are growing,
Where the golden hearted daisies twinkle mid
the tender grass?
Do you mark the lights and shadows that the
feecy clouds are throwing
As across the sky of azure they Enthusiastically
Just above it there's 8 cottage, sheltered by
the budding beeches,
Where the cherry bloom is scattered on the
serried crocus lines
BY the playful south winds antics, whore the
glistening ivy reaches
To the red-tiled roof and chimneys where the
green Wisteria tvines.
Pretty robin, there's maiden tall and fair,
and rather stately,
With voice as soft as yours is, dwelling in
that very cot,
And her tresses catch the spnbeams, though
she speaks and moves sedateIy,
And her eyes are just the color Of a blue for
get-me-not.
Whisper, robin-can you tell me is she wan
dring by the river.
Where the catkins clothe the willows and the
water'cresses grow2
Tell me, robin, pretty robin, and I'll be your
debtor ever,
For her father does not love me, and so, mind
you, whisper low.

They Cannot Let Go.

The mechanism of the leg and foot of
a chicken or other bird that roosts on a
limb is marvel of design 1t often
seems strange that bird will sit on
roost and sleep all night without falling
off, bu; the explanation is perfectly sim
pie. The tendon of the leg of bird
that roosts is so arranged that when the
leg is bent at the knee the claws are
bound to contract, and thus hold with a
sort of death grip the limb round which
they arc placed. Put a chickens feet on
your wrist and then make the bird sit
down and you will have a practical illus
tration on your skin that you will re-
member for some time. BY this singular
arrangement, seen only in such birds as
roost, they will rest comfortably aud
never think of holding on for it is i'm
possible for them to let go till they stand

The New York Sun recently insti-
tuted comparison Of the wealth of
Great Britain and the United States,
taking Giffin's estimate for the former
and our census for the latter. Ac-
cording to Giffin, the wealth of Great
Britain in 1885 was $4,000, 900, 900,
whilethe census make that of the United
States sos, 64S, 900, 900. The Sun
points out that in many of our States
railways are not included in the
enumeration of wealth, while Giffiu's
English table takes them into account.
But our New York contemporary
overlooks the most serious defect in
G:ffin's table, namely, the inclusion Of
profits and incomes rising from farm
ing and trades and professions, which
he has capitalized at $3.50, 900, 900.
These Mulhall does not attempt to in
clude. The latter, by all odds the
most trustworthy English statistician,
made the wealth of Great Britain in
1888 SIT, 900, 900, 900, and that of the
United States i'll the same year $64,-
2o,ooo,o 900.

The evolution of the present meth
dds of operating railroads in this coun-
try has certainly been wonderful. In
less than six decades all that is known
about the running of trains, the build
ing of cars, engines, the construction
of telegraph, and a thousand and one
details, has been evolved from the
prolific brain of American genius.
The American rairoadcr had almost
absolutely nothing to serve as guide
when he started 10 build the finest net
work system of transportation that
any age or any land has ever pro-
duced. His only model or precedent
was the wagon road and canal, the
stage coach, and the use of steam as
applied to boats. His was a task emf
nently creative. The railroad of the
present, compared with the incipient
line Of traffic, is as q tree to twig,
tv c, cat has been the development.

Few people are aware that we are
indebted to the people of old Pompeii,
who were all smothered in the first
century of the Christian era, for one
of the most important industries of
our time-the canning business.
Years ago, when the first excavations
were made in that buried city, an
American came upon several jars of
figs. When they were opened the
contents were found to be as fresh
and palatable as when they were put
up eighteen centuries before. In
vestigations instituted on the spot
proved that the fruit had been put
into jars in highly heated state, and
that an aperture for the escape of
steam had been left in the lid, which,
when it had served its purpose, was
sealed over with wax. Yankee in
genuity caught the idea at once and
the next year canning factories were
erected all over the United States.

The County Commissioners Court
of Galveston, Texas, has received
from the Secretary of War a permit
to build wagon bridge over West
Galveston bay from the island to Vir-

for an iron bridge have been prepared,
and the contract let to the Missouri
Valley Bridge and Iron Works of
Leavenworth, Kan. The bridge will
be about two miles long and its erec-
ton will be pushed with all possible
speed.

To form some idea Of the extent of
the earth, remarks the Boston Tran

landscapes to get an approximately
correct idea of its size.

GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers.
About 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased if
their merits were fully understood.
As Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
AS water Heaters" and 'Troners"
they are most useful, especially when the
weather is too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range
AS heating apparatus that can be
moved from room to room in few min
utes by the housekeeper they are most
convenient.
AS assistant heaters in rooms where
furnaces or steam heat viii not ascend
on the windward side they have given
great satisfaction.
As permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating hues they
have given much comfort
AS intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical
For offices and stores when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fires, they
may prevent sickness
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical
AS fires that can be started in a min
ute and extinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental.
The gas, the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting in are inexpensive.
Samples and descriptions can be seen
at the Gas Office.

the complaining Jerseymen that
frequently the steamers run so close
to the shore that figures can be seen on
deck, and they have nearly
ruined FISHING az Cape May and other
points by the use Of their enormous nets
The sheepshead, once SO easily caught
at the cape, is now very scarce, and the
steamers seem to have ruined the fishing
for other varieties completely. This, Of
course has damaged the attractive power
of several minor resorts and the Jersey
men want 20 know what is the utility or
