There are at present 1850 cities and
towns in the United States equipped with
electric lights. 1t is interesting to note
that Pennsylvania takes the lead with
$50 towns, New Jersey and Illinois fol-
lowing with 147 and 1873 respectively,
and that in the first State there are no
less than thirty-two new lighting cor
porations which have not yet commenced
business. There are ov er 500 railways
operated by electricity in the country,
and 200 more incorporated holding
franchises allowing the use of electric
power.

A MILL BALLAD.

In the heart of country wild,
Where the unbelievers be,
Was king SO good and wise~
Long, long ago lived he:
He was kind as a father is,
And rich as the earth, ywis.
Turn the mill, turn the mill, Jack;
Not vet have filled my sack
But his subjects they rebelled
Against his majesty,
And drove him from the throne,
Nobody knoweth why;
From town to town he past;
A mill was his shelter at last.
Turn the mill, turn the mill, Jack;
Not yet have l filled my sack.
Nor glory nor fear had he,
This king as he worked alNay;
No murmur lived on his lips;
This miller he sang all day;
And all night he slumbered deep;
Of yore could he never sleep.
Turn the mill, turn the mill, Jack;
Not yet have 1 filled my sack.
But once on day there came,
OF those who had driven him away,
A host of folk to his cote,
For changeable souls are they;
''Take back the crown for thine head!"
"Nay! give it to you, instead!'
Turn the mill, tu: n the mill, Jack;
Not yet have l filed my sack.
"My wife is miller's wife,
And millers my sons shall be:
The water runs in the stream;
The corn in the field grows free:
All else doth change" he said;
But aye is there need of bread.'
Stop the mill, stop the mill, Jack;
For now have filed my sack.
-TFrom the French of Gustave Nadaud.

Slow Burning Wood.

In England they use the wood of the
willow for flooring, in many cases be
cause it is of slow CT not ready combus-
ton. 1t contains no resin or essential
oil, is fine grained, and takes smooth
finish, and so is suitable for inside work,
and would make good sheathing.- Bos

ABOUT PENNoYER.

The following is an extract from a
sermon preached concerning Governor
Pennoyer on Sunday in Seattle, by
Rev. Wallace Nutting of the Plymouth
Congregational church:

The Astorian has received letter
from Murat Halstead, calling attention
to the Auto Book Concern, q corpora
ton of which he has, after investiga-
ton and consideration, accepted the
presidency, supported by a board of
directors embracing names of the high
est distinction, and whose prospectus
will be found in our advertising col
umns. The foundation of the new COM
pany is the ownership of the patents of
machines that are revolutionary in
book manufacture, and a vast store of
plates of standard and popular works.
The patented machines are binders and
trimmers, WHOSE automatic perfection
names them and the company. The
felicitous combination of the Auto Ma
chimes and the plates make confident
promise of great results, giving cheap
circulation for literature as the per-
fected presses have to news. This opens
an immense and lucrative field of use
fulness. Mr.. Halstead informs the AS
torian it is the intention of the COM
pany to issue libraries Ito be known as
the A. B. C. libraries) of the very best
books known for the masses at extreme
ly low prices, as well as series of A. B..
C. school books, that will equal in merit
those now in use with material re-
duction in prices.

friend, Mrs. Esther Taylor. MIR. Thomas

Taylor household for forty years, and
feels the death of his beloved old friend
almost as keely as her husband and
children:
oWhere the rude surf in murmurs low
And fresh the western breeZes blow,
Where flowers perennial wont TO blow
A sylvan glade
Across whose virgin glebe, a plough
Ne'er furrow made.
Yet, meath it's consecrated soil,
Full many rest from care and toll.
We ruthless ope'd its verdant breast
And laid q mother down. to rest.
Zone of the few laid there of late,
Entitled mothers of the state.O
faithful friend and Eeighbor dear,
A much loved Clatsop pioneer,
Now calm beneath the yielding sod,
Where 'erst she came to worship God
And where her Winsome charges trod
With childish glee,
Now In the flush of proud manhood,
Move reverently.
For, faithful to her every trust,
They venerate her crumpling DUST
And neighbors, in full sympathy,
Tread softly, as they pass II py.
