a FIVE O'CLOCK POEM,

The shadows lie across the road
In long, cool streaks
The sunshine touches tenderly
Tho green hill peaks.
The air is clear as clear can be,
The sky, soft blue;
And all the earth seems fair and sweet
The heavens, too.
And by the walk before the gate,
The evening breeze
Makes all the leaves to bend and wave
Upon the trees.
The sun is low above the hill
Out toward the west
The quiet air brings happily
A hint OF rest
The COW goes slowly long the fence.
And In the field,
The men amid the hay, their scythes
Have ceased to WELD
SO sweet and bright and fair has been
This afternoon
That one might wish the whole round year
Could be all June.
But best Of all the summer eve
Is this see
CHEEKY man comes up the path
'Tis John, to tea.

Metalizing Cloth.

An interesting announcement is
made in the French papers of the dis
covery of a process for metalizing
textile fabrics, by which, it is claimed,
the latter are rendered proof against
the attack of insects. The materials,
such as wool, flannel, calico, etc, are
for this purpose immersed in a boiling
bath composed of % pounds of sui
phate of copper, one pound of sui
phuric acid and sixty-two gallons of
water, the fabric being calendered and
dried after its removal from the fluid.
The finish obtained by this process
will, it is said, bear two or three wash
ings before it is again necessary to
subject the cloth TO a repetition Of the
operation, - Detroit Free Press.

The Chinese Government appears to
be awakening to the fact that the
rapid increase in the sale of Indian
teas in Europe may be due in part to
causes for which the Chinese growers
are responsible. The Likin authori-
ties have issued a proclamation against
the manufacture of what is significant
ly- known as Gle tea" The docu-
ment points out that this scandalous
practice has done much to bring about
the lamented decline in the tea trade,
and declares that the authorities are
determined to put stop to it. Peo-
pie are warned not to make any tea ex-
cept from the genuine tea leaf; but,
says the proclamation, if any person
should disregard the warning, the pun
ishment will be namely, trans
portation for life, for the maker, the
seller, the buyer, and everybody else
concerned in the transaction. Any
person who may give information that
will lead to the detection of those
carrying on this unlawful business
will be handsomely rewarded and ere
ceive button ofthe fifth class. The
proclamation ends with an assurance
to tea dealers that hereafter they need
have no fear of adulteration no no ona
will dare to disregard this official an
nouncement, although no provisions
whatever have been made for its en-
forcement.

breaks a daring gang of thieves who
operate from West Virginia into Ken

The band has for some time been
known to exist, but all efforts To bring
them TO justice have proved of no avail
until Davis and his mistress were ar
rested.
At the time of their arrest they had
four stolen horses in their possession,
aside FROM many other things, such as
guns, pistols, razors and jewelry.
Miss Cooley is quit young woman,
probably "a years oil, and is n typical
mountain beauty, with long black hair.

afraid to meet her weight in wild cats.
She is an expert with the gun, re-
volver, and knife, and at close quarters
would prove dangerous antagonist
for any man. She is a daredevil on
horseback and many lonely night
ride has she made through the wild
mountains on some marauding expedi-
ton or fleeing from officers.
She takes the matter of her arrest
philOsOphically, and rather revels in the
romantic life she has led.
