THE OLD CLAY PIPE.
There's a lot of solid comfort

There's lot Of solid comfort
In an old clay pipe, find,
II you're kind Of out of humor
Or in trouble in your mind.
When you're feeling awful lonesome,
And don't know just what 70 do,
There's a heap Of satisfaction
If you smoke a pipe or two.
The ten thousand pleasant memories
That are buried in your soul 49,
Are playing hide and seek with you
Around that smoking bowl.
These are mighty restful moments;
You're at peace with all the world,
And the panorama changes,
As the thin blue smoke is curled.
Now you cross the bridge Of SORROWS,
Now you enter pleasant lands,
And before an open doorway
You will linger 10 shake hands
With 1.-the and girlish figure
That is coming through the door.
All, you recognize the featuresl
You have seen that face before.
You are at the dear old homestead
Where you spent those happy years:
You are romping with the children;
You are smiling through your tears;
You have fought and whipped the bully:
You are eight, and he is ten.
Oh, how rapidly we travell
You are now a boy again.
You approach the open doorway,
And before the old armchair
You will stop and kiss the grandma;
You will smooth the thin white hair:
You will read the open Bible,
For the lamp is lit, you see.
1t is now your hour for bedtime,
And yea kneel at mothers knee.
Still you linger at the hearthstone:
You are loath to leave the place,
When an apple cuts in progress;
You must wait and dance with Grace.
What's the matter with the music?
Only this: The pipe is broke,
And the thousand pleasant fancies
Vanish promptly with the smoke.

OLD TIN CANS.
How Every Particle Of the Castor Uten-
siis Is Now Utilized.

How Every Particle Of the Castor Uten-
slis Is Now utilized.
In the suburbs of great cities an
industry has sprung up, having for
its object the utilization of old tin
cans. In consequence these former
ly despised and useless cans have ac.
quired sufficient commercial value to
rescue them from back lot, dumping
ground and garbage scows.
Under the present system of street
cleaning, the refuse of New York
city is loaded on scows from wharves
located at convenient intervals along
the river front, and then taken to
sea and thrown overheard. These
wharves have double decks, the up
per projecting sufficiently to allow
the contents of a cart to fall upon
the middle of the scow and be dis
tributed by the trimmers, who keep
the vessel on an even keel.
The trimmers select everything of
value with the greatest care, rags,
fat, bone, metal, paper stock, ETC.,
being stored on the lower deck of the
wharf. The silver and jewelry form
no small part of the contractors
profit, and the total value of scow
load is estimated at an average of
5000.
The space between the wharf plat
forms is often closed in with odds
and ends, and the interior converted
into a miserable habitation, by the
trimmers, men and women, who
thus herd together, their supplies be
ing drawn from the dump.
These dumping wharves are the
principal source of supply for the old
tin can industry, and wagon load
of cans can be bought at such places
for 81 or $5.
The furnace is an old soap boiler,
into which few sticks are thrown
The bowl is then filled with cans, and
a quart of kerosene poured over them
and ignited. The heat developed by
the oil is not great enough to at
tack the tin, but melts the solder,
which flows to the bottom of the
bowl. The solder recovered from
load of cans averages 40 pounds.
After this process the tin plate scrap
is sold to make what is called "acid."
Into large, open vat containing
waste acid, sulphuric or hydrochloric
acid, the scrap is thrown and allowed
to remain until the tin is stripped
from the iron underneath. More
scrap and metallic iron is added until
the solution is neutral. The tin thus
dissolved is used as a basis for the
preparation of stannates or other tin
compounds and by dyers
The iron plate is rolled into balls
for melting, the ferrous sulphate is
purified and sold as commercial cop
peras, and the remaining acid is used
in repetition of the process.-Youth's

April Fool Day.

The custom of sending one on a boot
less errand OF otherwise "April fooling'
him on the first day of April is very an
s;ient Yet it cannot truthfully be said
that any one is equal to the task of trac-
ing it to it's origin. Some antiquarians
profess to believe it a survival of the
travesty Of sending the Saviour hither
and thither, first from Annas to Gaia
phas and then to Plate and Herod. This
opinion is strengthened by the fact that
during the middle ages that very scene
in Christ's life was made the subject of
one of the Easter Miracle Plays" enact
ed on the chief streets Of London and
other English cities Of the first class.
Even though the above opinion has re-
ceived the sanction of Brande, Moore
and Hone, it is not at all unlikely that
it is really relic Of some old heather
festival, such as the Hull festival Of the
Rindoos or the Roman '1feast of fools. :"
The custom, whatever its origin, Of
playing tricks and pranks Of all kinds
on the first day of this month is univer
sal throughout Europe and is also prac
ticed in many other countries and an
der various names. It is a curious fact
that the Hindoo Hull festival, where
April fool tricks Of all sorts are played,
is held on the night of the 31st of March,
and the orgies are not discontinued TIL
til sunrise on the morning of April L.

Proof That sparrows Can Count.

There is no doubt but that birds can

eral years ago illustrating this fact
amused me not little. A sparrow, with
four Of her young, had nest in spar
row house under the veranda Of my
dwelling. One day the old bird flew up
to the nest with four living worms i'll
her beak. The four little birds reached
out their heads with the customary
noise and were each fed a worm. The
sparrow then flew away, and after time
returned again with four worms i'll her
beak, which were disposed of as before.
The bird kept this up for some time,
during which I was an interested spec
tator.-St. Louis Globe-Demacrat.

SWITCHMEN WON'T JOIN,

A telegram said to have come
from thoroughly reliable source,
has just been received in Chicago,
ILL.,, to the effect that Miles Barrett
grand chairman of the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association, has official
ly notified e. B. Debbs, president of
the American railway union, that
the switchmen's association would
have nothing to do with troubles
existing between the American
Railway union and the pullman car
company, growing out of the Pull
man strike, stating that the switch
mems association had no grievance
with the Pullman company, but on
the contrary, have agreements
with the railroad companies to do
certain work for a given amount of
pay, and that the railroads have
not violated their agreements with
the switchmen, He Barrett can
not and will not request the mem
bers of the switchmen's association
to discontinue switching Pullman
or other cars the companies have
to handle in their business; that the
switchmen have laws and regula-
lions which they propose to respect
and that he BARRETT as head of
this organization will see that the
rules and laws of the association
are complied with faithfully, This
places the switchmen in a decided
position and they propose to carry
out their contract with the railroad
companies as they expect the rail
road companies to carry out in the
same spirit their part of the con
tract under which they are work
inU

OUTRAGEOUS DELAY.

We can find no language strong
enough to condemn the outrageous
delay in the Senate, in passing the
tarifflbill. Yesterday friday the
body adjourned over until Monday,
without having reached a final vote
on the measure, From time to
time Senator Harris, who has
charge of the BILL has boldly
threatened night sessions, but has
never forced them, as he ought to
have done. But he is not alone to
blame, as the Democratic majority
was back of him. 1t looks like pure
and simple cowardice and weakness,
all around on the part of this ma
jority. Again we, as Democratic
newspaper, one of the sentinels
standing upon the watch tower
demand action upon the tariff bill
in our upper branch of Congress,
and however humble and insignifi-
cant we may be, we shall continue
to raise our voice against all politi-
cal wrongs, inside as well as outside
of our own party.
Our representatives Senators
Jones and Berry, if the daily pro
ceedings as Published are correct,
are not using proper efforts in Sc
curing a final vote on the tariff billF
If either has openly advocated the
needed might sessions" to secure
such vote, we have overlooked it,
Longer delay in the Senate will
call down upon the Democratic
majority still more severe condem-
nation, from all parts of the coun-
try.

DO NOT JUDGE HASTILY.

1t is well not to be too hasty in
judging others. Many a man has
been wrongly branded with faults
and shortcomings, just because cir

ances led others to Jump at wrong
conclusions There is a vast amount
of good in the world, and it is very
important, both to ourselves and
others, that we realize this.

say, Henry, said my wife to me,
and that is that our house is not
hard to warm. 1t beats all the way
coal lasts here That half ton you

That's the way coal lasts when
there's no one to steal it, as we had
