Mary and her angels
Floating in mld-air,
Rapt, within a rainbow,
Oh, but they are fair
Spun gold is the angels hair:
And Mary had veil of mist,
Thrice as fine as ladies lace,
Blown across her blossom face,
Red and gold and amethyst.
Flung and SPREAD In the clouds there.
With many a lovely curl and twist.
Marys roses splitting
Down into the sea,
Float, and darken into rubies,
Sapphires now they be.

Whirls a myriad wingy SHOWS,
Scattering lily where was rose. t>
Pelts with pearl the angels hair,
And the Virgins mantle free
Fluttering celestial fair
Clouds, scudding and shifting.

FROM MOUNTAIN TO PLAIN
Modern Civilization Brings This Change in
 Human Habitation.


 Human Habitation.
 1t sometimes seems as though modern civilization tended, broadly speaking, to transfer life from the mountains to the plains, leaving behind just what we are pleased to call romance. In other days no man, as a rule, built in plain or valley when he could possibly build upon the top of hill Now, no one who eau dwell In the plains takes the trouble to live on the top of the mountain, unless for some very partic- ular reason, The security that once lay in stone walls and iron bars is now sought in strategic position and in earklworks. There are no small daily dangers An our time against which man barficaJaes himself in towers and be- hind ironsstudded doors of oak. The great perils of our age are few, far be- tween and general. Military power once meant an agglomeration of des- perate individuals devoted to common cause, bad or good, not one of whom could find place in the well-ordered, unreasoning and mechanically obedi- ent ranks of modern conqueror's army.
 The more we live in plains, the less we can understand the hills; the more systematically we obey laws and regu- lations having for their object the greatest good of the greatest number, the less able are we to understand the reasoning of such men as Alaric. the great eount of Sicily, Tancred Cesar Borgia, Gonzalvo de Cordova, or Gari- baldi.
 1t is singular that while most intelli- gent people undoubtedly prefer the conditions of modern civilization for their daily life, they should by prefer enee also like to dream of the times when civilization was still anrealized. and of lives lived in circumstances against which modern common sense reTolts. These are maehine-made times; those were handmade: and true art is manual, not mechanical Gen. turT.

pf.S.S THE BILL.

The Democratic conferees on the tariff bill have apparently reached a crisis, aud caucus of the members of the House has been called for to- day to discuss the situation. The House conferees are insisting upon free coal and iron, in accordance with the Presidents letter while the Senate eonferees, at the dieta- tion of German, Brice and Smith, emphatically insist that it is either the Senate bill or the Mckinley bill
 The bill was sent to conference something like a month ago but the eonferees are apparently no nearer together today than in the begin ming. All this delay and dilly daily ing while the business of the coun- try is suspended has disgusted the country The people have grown weary of waiting. After the pass age of the bill by the Senate the country expected prompt and im- mediate action. While the Senate bill does not give satisfaction to the Democrats of the country or come up to the full measure Of their hopes or expectations when their party was place, in power, it is, nevertheless, long stride in tariff reform and a great relief from the expressions of the Mckinley bill As revenue measure, it will answer the require ments of the Federal Treasury. As tariff reform bill, t provides a lower rate of duty than was pro posed in either the Morrison or Mills bill. It is, therefore d step in the right direction, aud is s.far more pre- ferable 1than further delay or the Mckinley bill. The most important thing to be considered is the pass age of a tariff reform bill without further delay, and whatever ob- jeetionable features are found in it can be trusted to future Congresses. This is by no means the last tariff reform bill, It is only the beginning of what, we believe, will ultimately lead to free Trade. The quicker tariff bill is pasesdthe better it will be for the Democratic party, for when the people once get taste of tariff reform they will never cease their efforts until the last vestige of pro teetioa is swept from the statute books.
 It therefore behooves the Demo cratic party to pass a tariff reform bill without further inexcusable de lay. If they cant get whole loaf, let us be content with half loaf for the present and trust to the future for the rest. The Congressional elections are coming on apace, and the passage of a tariff bill along the lines of reform will go far towards giving the Democrats the Fifty fourth Congress. Should a tariff re- form bill fail the Democrats will be overwhelmingly defeated.
 Ii they can't do any better. let the Senate bill pass and be done with 1t. Delays are dangerous and de strUctiye.

 ist Makes a Disclosure.

Indiana contributed her thousands of brave soldiers to the war, and no state bears bet ter record in that respect than it does. In literature it is rapidly acquiring iilg ts;l aa envi;t5ie place. In war and literature solomon Newell, well known as writer as "SoI, has won m honorable position: e,- lJ9f IT ing the llte waP he was member of Co. M, 2d \.

regal seal on copper haff-dolTars that weighed one pound and quarter, his people accepted the inevitable and car ried the queer coin around, even if they had to get horse when it was neees- sary to have more than five or ten dol lars in coin of the realm.
 In the history of the fierce northern wars in which Charles XII. engaged there is perhaps no better evidence of his remarkable characteristics in ex- istenee than this copper half-dollar One can scarcely believe it was ever used for money-pouderous unwieldly and crude as it is All it needs is a hole to appear like a safeguard which the Swedish hote1keepers of his time might have used to append to keys, so that guests could not wander away in q fit of abstraction with the open sesame to ones apartments By ac tual measurement it is five and one half inches long by four and three fourths wide. with an average depth of one-eighth to three-sixteenths of an inch. It's correct weight is twenty ounces avoirdupois The composition is copper from the mines of Sweden, taken in it's purity and pressed into service without special efforts at re- finement. The weight represents the value of silver half-dollar. or daler, in TIL In shape this extraordinary coin is rectangular, with the corners cut off for convenience in handling
 If the coin can be taken as a speci- men of the mechanical skill possessed by King Charles mint the knowledge of treating metals mechanically in those days was very crude indeed. App parently the coppersmiths took big in- gots of the metal and hattened them out with heavy sledges upon anyils, leaving marks of the hammer at every blow. so that ridges and hollows were formed on the face of everycoin. When this was done and the weight tested the eoiner took silver half-daler stamp and impressed it mp on the center of the bit of boiler plate. This stamp had been used only on silver half-dalers. but when the white metal disappeared copper was substituted in proper proportions. The king said: This is silver" and it was silver to all intents and purposes in the eyes of his patriotic subjects. Then at each of the four corners was stamped the TO- verse silver half-daler sign-a crown with the letters .AC. R. &" and the date I'll, underneath, all embossed with heavy rim. The three letters stood for Charles King of Sweden.
 In the present day King Charles half-daler has one good feature-it looks artistic and is quaint curio. The verdigris and eoncretions of ages have settled in the crevices and depres- sions. With the softening influences of time upon it's face it points back ward to a period when Norsemen were undergoing a christening, and when the higher civilization that followed was breaking over the farthest limits of Europe. There are only a half dozen or so of these relics in existence. San Francisco Call.

POWER TRANSMITTED BY ROPE

The English System Which Is Cheaper and
 More Effective Than Belts.
 The transmission of power by ropes has been largely y yresorted to in England, the preference being given to what is known as the Lambeth cotton rope, which is made of four strands, the cen ter or core of each strand being bulched and slightly twisted, the outside of the strand having a covering of yarns that are firmly twisted. The four strands are further laid with core in the cen ter to form rope and twisted the same as any four-stranded rope
 In this way a rope is formed possess ing extreme fexibility, and the flores will not break by bending on each other when run on pnneys, the rope also standing elongation or stretching some twelve inches in length of fifty inches before breaking The cost of this kind of ropeis but one-fifth that of the best ak-tanned leather belting- that is, the rope to develop a given amount of power costs only one-fifth as much as the best quality of belting to do the same work.
 The life of such rope is said to be from twelve to fourteen years. or if run on pulleys properly grooved and of suitable size, will last much longer, larger pulleys giving much better re, suits than smaller ones. It is urged that the reason why the English sys- tenn of rope transmission has not been developed to a greater extent in other countries is the inadequate understand ing of the method prevatent.-Pitts- burgh Chronicle-Telegrap
