President Harrison as a Worker

President Harrison's methods of work
are cool, systematic and constant, He is
sensitive man, but he is not man of
nervous temperament. He wastes neither
time nor energy in fretting, is never
fussy and never in hurry to finish mn
things at the last moment He has not
lost day by illness since he entered the
White House, and his work has never
been delayed twenty-four hours. He is
too methodical TO put off or leave work
unfinished. The President begins his
days work at 9 O'Clock, with his Private
Secretary, disposing of correspondence
and there is little to which he does not
give his personal attention. He goes
right through with it like man who has
work that must be done and there is
nothing more to be said about it. In
much the same way the President goes
right through the business of seeing SEN
ators and Representatives every morn
ing. He has no small talk" and no
words not to the point, but briefly "says
his say" and does not repeat himself. At
no time during his office hours does he
lose his train of thought on the davis
work. He carries it with him, and no
interruption by visitors breaks the line.
This preoccupation is much of the reserve
people complain of and criticise.

DEFIES THE FIRE FIRND.
A New Flame Quencher Invented In
Switzerland.

1
Switzerland.
Recent foreign journals speak of most
remarkable fire extinguishing agent, the
invention of a gentleman of Lucerne,
| Switzerland. This chemical compound
is stated to be nine times more effective
than ordinary water, and among its other
qualities possesses the valuable faculty of
rendering individuals virtually fireproOf.
a mum ber of experiments have been
made to prove its efficiency, and the IN
Surance NeaCS of Manchester. Eng, says
concerning the tests that the impunity
with which the exhibitors approached
masses of flame gave them almost the ap-
pearance of being in their natural ele-
ment. When the hands are dipped in
this solution burning materials may be
manipulated with perfect safety. The
first experiment was supposed to repre-
sent the upsetting OF paraffine lamp,
the oil flowing in a stream over the table,
cloth and Immediately blazing up in a
furious flame. By simply passing the
hands wet with the solution over the
burning cloth this flame was speedily
extinguished, although the table itself
had caught fire, and the exhibitor ap-
peared to be in no little danger.
In the next test mass of pitch was
ignited in a small pit and allowed to be-
come thoroughly lighted, the smoke and
flames rising up in volumes. The appli-
cation OF TWO buckets OF the solution had
an almost magical effect, the flames dying
down at once, while not only the fire, but
even the heat arising therefronl, entirely
disappeared, the pitch becoming at once
quite cold. The final experiment, which
was considered the most efficient, as the
fire was open and unconfined in every
direction, consisted in eXtinguishing the
flames in wooden structure made of a
mass of slaves saturated with paraffine
oil. When ignited this combination gave
forth an enormous volume of heat. To
eXtinguish this a small hand engine hold
ing about thirty gallons of the agent was
employed, and as a result of a few
strokes of the pump the flames were
wholly subdued.

My life is full of scented fruits:
My garden blooms with stocks and cloves
Yet DER the wall my fancy shoots,
And bankers after harsher loves,
All! why-my foolish heart repines-
Was l not housed within q waste?
These velvet flowers and syrup wines
Are sweet, but are not to my taste.
A bowling moor, a wattled hut,
A piercing smoke of fsodden peat,
The SAVIOR of russet net,
Would make my weary pulses beat.

Since flowers are hardships to your nerves,
Thank heaven "a garden lot is yours!

Poor Mrs. Lee had been dozen times
to the door, in an agony of mingled hope
and dread, listening, watching, waiting.
Now it was four o'clock and the gray
light of dawn showed fairly in the east.
Hark! Horses hoots! The sound of
wheels! Yes-yes! They had turned in
at the gateway. The Doctors voice asked
some questions, and then-oh, joy! That
little voice, ''She has left the light. You
see told her we would come before morn

mothers arms, hugged and kissed and
cried over as though he might have been
a very little boy instead of great fellow
of ten.
The kind doctor stayed until late the
next day, when Bess was out of danger
and could smile feebly at the little hero
who had saved her life.
They said nothing to her as vet of
Dolly's loss, but Robin grieved much
privately. He and Dolly had been good
old friends. He was thinking of this as
he sat on the gate-post few days after
his adventure, when there he saw, trot-
ting down the road toward him, very
ghost of little Dolly, thin and rough
coated, and covered with .thorns and
briers, but no less surely his own dear
Dolly.
In a moment his little arms were
clasped about her neck, and half laugh
ing, half crying, he ran with her up to
the house, where mother shared his joy
and Bess at last heard all his story.
