HACK AND IiEw.


Hack and Hew were the sons Of God
In the earlier earth than now;
One at his right hand. one at His left,
To obey as He taught them how.
And Hack was blind, and Hew was dumb,
But both had the wild. wild heart;
And Gods calm will was their burning will.
And the gist Of their toll was art.
They made the moon and the belted stars.
They set the sun TO ride;
They loosed the girdle and veil Of the sea.
The wind and the purple tide.
Both flower and beast beneath their hands
To beauty and speed outgrew-
The furious, fumbllng hand Of Hack,
And the glorying hand Of Hew.
Then fire and clay, they fashioned man,
And painted him rosy brown;
And God Himself blew hard in his eyes
Let them burn till they shoulder down ~
And "There ~ said Hack. and "There ~
thought Hew,
Gwen rest, for our toll is done"
But May" the Master Workman said,
"For your toll is just begun.
"And ye who served Me Of old as God
Shall serve Me anew as man.
Till compass the dream that is in My heart,
And perfect the vaster plan"
And still the crafstsman over bis craft,
In the vague white light of dawn,
With Gods calm will for his burning will,
While the mounting day comes on,
Yearning, wind-swift, indolent, wild,
Tolls with those shadowy two
The faltering, restless hand OF Hack,
And the tireless hand of Hew.
Bliss Carman, in Atlantic.

The method of harvesting wheat on
the great bonanza ranches of the Da-
kotas is said TO have amazed the for
eign Agricultural Commissioners at
the Worlds Fair. To clear up $40
acres of wheat in one day with $50
hands and forty-fve harvesters is a
feat which has been parslleled in Cali
fornis, Nebraska and other big West
ern grain States, but it is doubtful,
thinks the San Francisco Chronicle, if
any part of Europe can show such
rapid work.

George Vanderbilt is one of natures
queer freaks He is the least known
of any of the enormously wealthy men
of New York. He must be worth at
least S35, 900, 600, but he might walk
the length of the entire city without
being recognized by half dozen per
sons. He has never been prominent
in any public movement. Hehas never
attended a public function where
crowds of people congregate, and when
he goes TO the theatre OF 10 the opera
he hides himself in the rear Of box,
saws the New York Herald. Young
Vanderbilt has many fads First of
all he is a bookworm and Is L. way a
woman -hater. Formerly he was rated
as being, next to John Jacob Aston, the
wealthiest young bachelor in the Uni
ted States, having 81 900, 000 in his
own right and control for every past
year Of his life. Now, as Jonn Jacob
Astor is husband ana father, George
Vanderbilt stands at the head Of his
class alone.

The New York News observes: Now
the surgeons have cut out mans
spleen, and yet he lives and has red
blood, and will, it is said, recover. No
one has ever known absolutely what is
the Office of the spleen. The organ is
not a vital one, but is often much dis
eased and very painful. The opera
tion 20 remove il is technically called
splenectomy. Many years ago
writer in Chambers's Miscellany con
tended that the spleen was the manu-
factory of the white blood corpuscles.
If that we're 30, the red corpuscles in
the veins and arteries would have soon
faded in vividness in the patient,
Athlete Short, of Yonkers. Are the
spleen and the vermiform appendix,
which are declared TO be useless, left
as hints of the evolutionary process?
Was man differently constituted when
they were useful TO him, instead of
being as now unnecessary? Who can
say?

Doctor Oliver Wendell Holmes says
that the largest elm he ever saw was
in Oxford, England, and measured
twenty-five feet in circumference.
There was an elm of about the same
size in Springfield, Mass, some years
ago. The Doctor estimates the life of
the American elm at between 200 and
800 years. If any survive to be 300
years, he thinks, it is as wrecks, liable
to go to pieces in the first heavy
storm

The Atlanta Constitution says:
Congressman Brosius, of Pennsyl-
yania, is man who has vivid recol-
lection of his experience during the
war. He came near losing his life il
the fight with Pickett's forces at
Green Plains. He was one Of the 800
men who charged across a wheat-fold,
a third of a mile in width upon Con
federate rifle pit and of the number
only 1875 came out alive The Confed-
crates waited until the storming party
was within twenty-five yards of the
pit and then they opened deadly fire,
he tells. Brosius, who was a boy of
nineteen, stopped to pick up a
wounded eomrade, and as he did so a
rife ball pierced his shoulder, shat
tering the blade and making him a
cripple for life. He still carries a
mememto of that day in the shape of
a pocket diary, which he wore in his
vest. There is the mark Of a bullet in
it that would have gone through tue
young soldiers heart il It had not
been stopped by the book.

Some idea Of the enormous proper
tions the business of hotel keeping has
assumed in this country may be gained,
declares the New Orleans Picayune,
from the fact that there are in the
United States upward of so, 900 hotels,
exclusive of what may properly be
termed inns and taverns, and what are
commonly known as apartment-houses,
although the latter are in many in
stances conducted as hotels, in that
they have a common kitchen and din
ing-room.

Deer and bears are reported to be
more plentiful now in the great
woods" of Oxford County, Maine, than
at any other time during the present
generation. These woods extend, in a
belt from four TO six miles wide,
from Dixfeld away up into the un-
trodden wilderness of Northern Maine,
and much of the area has seldom been
visited by sportsmen. Driven from
the hunting grounds about Rangeley
Lake the game took refuge in these
woods, and have multiplied there un-
molested.

The soul that suffers and for pain is stronger
Grows great with strength above the

Though years be brief, or though forever

They wax in pain that knows no end or

His heart is still for love and truth shrine
Where, unconsumed Of fire the altar fuel
Burns ever with light and life divine.

Though most people are equipped
with thirty-two teeth only, the Shah
of Persia appears to be more amply
provided for, as we are told that he
has just had his fortieth molar ex-
tracted. The phenomenon is thus ex
planned. The first time his Eastern
Majesty suffered from a decayed tooth
and had to have it removed his loyal
subjects offered him as solatium
number of presents amounting in all
to ten thousand gold sequins Hav
ing thus discovered a new source of
supply for his privy purse, the Shah,
whenever he feels the want of those
little presents that help to maintain
the glow of friendship, causes the fact
of his having another bad tooth TO be
proclaimed by flourish of trumpets
"a all parts of his empire, and the
presents begin TO pour in.
