THE GARDENS or THE POOR.

Cowslirs, wind your yellow ribbon through the
low green meadow
Violets in the pasture, put on your hoods Of
blue;
The children of the poor man have no grand
garden spaces,
They have neither rose nor lily. and they de-
pend on you.
Make haste, o airy columbine. to trim your
scarlet bonnet,
And stand upon the hillside in beautiful ar
ray;
o darling pink azalea. unfold your lovely
blossoms,
Like flakes of sunset vapor, and make the
woodland gay.
Start up in every field, ye hosts of crimson
clover;
Scatter gold, o dandelions, along the grassy
floor;
Bring forth your rosy whorls, o wild brier, in
the hedges;
dainty daisies come and fill the gan dens of
the poor.

All Timekeepers Are Inaccurate.

The capacity of watch for keeping good
time is very much governed by its con-
struction and its more or less perfect finish.
1t cannot be expected of the best horizontal
watch that it should always keep good
time, and even less so of the inferior make
of machine made watches which are nova
days manufactured and sold for $40, $50 and
$50 in such large numbers. The changes of
oil, the variation in temperature, the diver
sty of humidity of atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going of a watch. Indeed it is
only the most perfect finish which neutral.
lies the adverse influences to the greatest
degree. Asa matter of fact, no watch keeps
perfectly correct time, and even the best
chronometers used in observatories and on
board ships must be regulated according to
tables which are kept to fix the variations
to which all watches are liable. New Yoil

TIMES GETTING BETTER.
DUN's COMMERCIAL AGENCY GIVES
OUT FAVORABLE REPORTS.
Condition OF the Great Industries Distinctly
Improving, Assumptions Exceeding
Shut owns-Prsmium on Currency
Disappearing - Evidences OF
Improvement Everywhere.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. s, 1s93.-
Improvement has extended from the
banks to the mills. The condition of
the great. industries is distinctly
mended though still seriously dis.
tressed. More important by far than
any rise in stocks is the fact that more
works have resumed during the past
week than have stopped operation, SO
the producing force of the country
after months constant decline has be-
gun to increase. The money markets
are more healthy and premium on
currency almost vanished. Embarass-
ments in domestic exchanges have we'll
nigh disappeared, and while very little
money is yet available for commercial
and industrial loans, there is some re-
lation in that respect also.
In cotton mills the resumption of
work is quite general. Cotton has adj
vanced to cents with assurance that
new treasury arrangements will facili-
tate supplies of money for moving the
crop. After touching cents the price
has fallen sixteenth and crop reports
still are favorable in the whole in spite
of damage by storm in South Caro-
lima.
That the volume of trade has been
small here of late is not surprising
Exchanges through the principle clear
ing houses outside of New York con-
tinue to show large decrease. Com
parison with last year for the past
week was 436 per cent
Although several banks which were
forced to stop in July and August have
resumed, the numerous failures of two
months have thrown into confusion
the calculation of merchants and COM
PEELED them to curtail operations.

The heavy storm which visited Slea-

FRANCE.
MAY BECOME SERIOUS.

PARIS, Sept. S.-Inquiries made at
the British embassy here show that
there is no doubt that fresh complied
tions, involving the peace of Europe as
we'll as serious disturbance in the east,
have arisen between France and
Siam. So serious is the aspect of af'
fairs that the Earl of Dufferin, British
ambassador here, has decided to fore
go his intended trip to Switzerland,
remaining here instead, in hope OF be-
ing able to assist in settling the new
series of eastern complications.

The Cnndle Fish of Pnrct Sound.

Very queer fish are caught in the wateEj
of Puget sound. One kind is called thu
candle fish. 1t is dried and packed in boXc,
like candles. We are told the fishermen
use them to light their homes and that u
one time all the boats on the sound used
them instead of sperm oil lamps. By put
ting the heads of the fish downward in d
candlestick and lighting the tail, which, in
conjunction with the backbone, acts as {
wick, it burns like candle. They eat thi.
fish, and when cooking it is so fat it fire,

Express Office Robbed.

AKRON, O., Sept. S.-The Adams
Express company's office was entered
and robbed of several thousand dollars
last night. Rumor places the amount
at $1,000. From the manner in which
the robbery was effected it is certain
that the robbers were familiar with
the office. Three men were arrested
on suspicion.
