The reading class was standing in a

drawing a paragraph about Roman

board was present on his regular tour
of inspection, and he pompously re-
quested that the boy read that verse

"Ah! h'm!" said the great man in a
loud voice, why do you pronounce that

The boy was silent. st should be

The boy remained quiet, but the
teacher finally spoke.

A DEADLY TRADE IN ENGLAND.
Story OF the Human Beings Who Frequent
the AlkaIi Works.

The alkali works go on all the year
round, day and night, Sunday and week
days, and st. Helen's and Widnes are
the chief seats of the manufacture. If
you have fancy for knowing how that
part of the world lives which serves
the industry that Lord Beaconstield
used as his trade barometer, you will
do well to gain admittance to the
strange and lurid scene where the pro-
digious processes are carried on.
BY the glow of furnaces and the
wavering light of an occasional gas jet
you make out, bit by bit, rough pic
ture of uncouth buildings, gaunt frame
works of timber, ominous- looking lead
chambers looming overhead, and a gen.
eral confusion of towers, platforms, re-
volving and stationary furnaces. great
caldrons where the caustic glows sui
len red threatening-looking tanks full
of corrosive liquids, and other strange
half-animate monsters which beset YOU
as You pick your way along narrow
planks or up stairs half eaten away
with acid.
There are figures moving about the
place. wheeling barrows up the plank,
standing at the furnace mouth, tanning
the white-hot mass within. welding
huge ladies at the caustic pots, raking
straining and laboring in terrific heat
and glare and amid sickening fumes
a man steps back from the furnace
now and again and lowers the muller
from his mouth to gasp more freely in

OUR DEAD.

Tread softly, for the place wherein
We stand is holy ground,
Where love and duty see a shrine
In each low, grassy mound
Like white tents on battlefield.
The sunny marble CLEANS,
Within whose walls no sound Of strife
Disturbs the soldiers dreams
We come to honor the brave dead,
These soldier boys of ours;
Let bitter mem'ries Of the past
Be buried meath the flowers.
Bring tender thoughts and loving words
For each who 10th low
Strew the same blossoms, wet with tears,
On friend rs well as foe.
Heap high the flowers on each grave,
Cover each grassy mound,
Then leave them in their dreamless sleep
On their last camping ground

Admonishlnc the Preacher.

A young lady organist in church in
Colorado was somewhat captivated
with the young pastor of the church in
the next street, and was delighted to
hear one week that by an exchange he
was to preach the next Sunday in her
own church. The organ was pumped
by an obstreperous old sexton, who
would often stop when he thought the
organ voluntary had lasted long
enough. This day the organist was
anxious that all should go well, and as
the service was about to begin she
wrote a note intended solely for the
sections eye. He took it, and in spite
of her agonized beckonings carried it
straight to the preacher. What was
that gentleman's establishment when
he read: "Oblige me this morning by
blowing away till l give you the sig
nal to stop."-Toronto Empire.

1t was Margie Wheaton who estab-
lished Memorial day in Elmwood, and
on certain day each year some effort
was made to decorate the graves of the
soldier dead. for there were many bur
led there besides MILFORD Ormsby. This
grave was Margic's especial care, and
she robbed her flower beds, richly laden
as they were. for this purpose.
The years passed and Margic became
more and more sedate and womanly.
All the girlishness was gone, though
the beauty of face and form still re-
manned. The practice of decorating the
graves of soldiers had become general,
and May 80 was established as Decora-
ton day and was made n national holt
day. The first of these events was to
be great one in Elmwood. 1t was a
greater one for Margie than she had i'm
agined.
The act of decorating the graves was
finished and Margie had taken a seat by
Wilford's grave and was nursing her
old thoughts. How wildly the last
words she had spoken to the man whose
remains were there inferred came to her
now. A shadow was cast on the mar
BILE slab and caused her to start to her
feet. A stranger stood there bearded
and handsome and with familiar look
about the face.

promise, are you?" said he.

"To be unwept, unhonored and un-
sung"
From the moment the true realiza-
ton of what she had said and done came
to Margie Wheaton her whole nature
seemed changed. She realized then,
when it was too late, how fondly she
loved MILFORD Ormsby, and, among all
the wives and mothers of the land who
watched closely and carefully for the
names of loved ones engaged in the
strife, there was no more persistent
searcher than was Margie Wheaton for
the name of MILFORD Ormsby. Twice
was her patience rewarded and twice
did she write him, but it CHANGED that,
at both those times, MILFORD was made
a prisoner and he never got the letters.
She read the account of the engage
ment at Five Forks, and for the third
time she caught sight of the name of
the man she loved and this time it was
among the list of the killed. 1t was
then she told her father the whole of
her miserable story.
Margie begged her father to go south,
and, if the report were indeed true, to
bring Wilford's remains home to be
buried in the town cemetery. All Elm
wood, too, seemed to feel desire that
this should be done, and it was there
fore as delegate from the town that
DIR. Wheaton went on his sad mission.
He had no difficulty in obtaining pos
session of the body, for kilograms had
at once been sent ordering ii embalmed
to await the doctors arrival While
| there the doctor heard from officers and
comrades much of Wilford's history
/ while in the service, and he had the sat
isfaction of talking with two soldiers
who were near by when MILFORD was
killed. He received full account of
the affair, and had no doubt that he had
been given Ormsby's body, though it
had been an explosion that killed him
and he had been badly mutilated. Get
ting all the evidence he thought neces-
sary he started for home and MILFORD
Or'~sby's remains were laid at rest and

Lucky Magee and UnIucky All Ping.
When the Pacific Mail steamer City
of New York arrived from Panama, j
A. Magee, New York sporting man,
was one Of the passengers. When he
got up he forgot nine 500 bills In q
small. pockettook that he had placed
under his pillow the night before, and
when the tug came alongside, while the
steamer was at anchor in the stream, he
made haste to land. No sooner had he
reached the Baldwin hotel than he dis
covered his loss. and hiring coupe
made for the Pacific Mail dock, which
he reached just as the steamer was made
fast An inquiry for the lost bills
proved that they were safe in Captain
Johnston's hands. All Ping, Chinese
in the stewards department, while max
ing up Magee's berth, had found the
bills and taken them to the captain.
Magee was handed his money, and
called for All Ping, to whom he gave
twenty-five dollars.
The Chinese had hardly time to appre
ciate his good luck when Chief Steward
Cottrell was angry because the stray
hills had not been given to him to re-
turn to the owner, instead Of the cap
tain, and ordered that All Ping should
be discharged. Unless the wrathy stew
ard is called down by some Of the head
officers Of the company All Ping will

have secreted the valuable paper bills 80
