A Boys Scheme.

Abraham Elkwiss, a nine-yeat old
pupil in Miss Lucy Bakers class in
school "a, behaved badly, and was
sent to Principal Marcus A. Weed to
be disciplined this morning.
Mr.. Weed stretched the boy across
his knee, but at the first stroke of the
rattan there was a loud explosion, and
shreds Of the boys trousers leaped up
into the principals face. Mr.. Weed
dropped the lad and ran for help.

Millions in ,Silver.

The huge vault at the mint, known
as vault G, i'll which has been sealed
up for nearly four years 100000 of
standard silver dollars, was opened a
few days ago, and the long and Ia
borious task of counting this big
amount of money was begun. AS
the occasion was deemed one of i'm
portance, says the Philadelphia
Times, there was observed some little
formality. Maj. G. H, Townsend,
cashier of the mint, having been given
the combination of the vault, proceed
ed to open the door.
On the inside door, fastened by
sealing wax, was a sheet of foolscap
paper containing the statement that
S33,OOO,O 900, had been placed there on
February 7, 1890, with Maj. Meline,
OF the treasury; B. f. Butler, of the
mint bureau. and James @, Eyster,
of the mint, present, and that, furth-
er, $17,O00,00O more had been sealed
up on May 26, 1891.
The vault emitted a damp, musty
odor when opened. Uuder the glare
of the electric light the great wealth
of stored silver was visible. There it
lay In bags Just as it had been placed
There were $4,000 bags, each contain
ing $1,000 in shining coin. These
bags were piled up one on top of the
other, the topmost almost reaching
the arched ceiling of the vault, nearly
nine feet high The whole mass had
been arranged in different stacks.
The first stack was thirteen bags
high and eight across. Just in the
rear OF this was second stack, while
still further back loomed up a third.
This though represent only one Sec
ton OF the vault. Altogether there
are nine. The weight of this great
amount of silver is 295O,OOO pounds
0voirdupois, and the tremendous pres
sure of the upper bags upon the lower
had caused a number of the latter to
burst, causing their glistening con-
tents to spread out upon the floor.

A SUPERSTITIOUS BRIDE.

AS d German wedding procession
was leaving the brides house recently
to go to church the dress of the
heroine of the occasion caught on the
knob of the door, which made a big
rent in it. 1t was quickly mended,
but the heart of the bride palpitated
at the omen. Passing through the
door of the church the dress caught
on hook, and a hole larger than the
first was made. That was too much
of bad portent for the bride. She
turned abruptly and would not be
held back. Neither her family nor the
bridegroom was able TO make an i'm
preston on her. She would not run
into life of bad luck with her eyes
opened, and the bereaved bridegroom
had to look for. another BRIDE

LITERARY NOTICES.

Whoever is curious to know why
it is that few or no old men are
found in the great Carnegie steel
mills at Homestead will get his
curiosity satisfied by reading a re-
mark ably vivid and exact descrip-
ton of the strenuous life and work
which Mr.. Hamlin Garland publish
es in the June number of Mcclure S
Magazine. In this same number a
wonderful short story by Kipling.
The physical obstacles that stand IN
the way of the discovery OF the
North Pole, and the chances Of sew
eral important expeditions now IN
progress for overcoming them, are
suggestively discussed by General A,
w. Greedy NJ. de Blowitz considers
the threats which the immense
ornaments maintained in Europe
constantly offer to European peace.
Julian Ralph appears in the new
role of poet. The peculiar dangers
that attend the care and handling OF
wild beasts in captivity are the sub
iect of an interesting article by
Cleveland Moffett. Other contents
of the number are an excellent short
story bv Octave Thanet; further
installment of the Stevenson-Os-
bourne novel; and a charming war
episode-the story of how General
Gordon gave aid and comfort to his
enemy, General Barlow, at Gettys-

TIE FIELDS OF BIRLE Hill.

IBibIe Hill. one of the highest points in
St. JohnsbuTy Center. On its southern
slope lies the farm once owned by MI
Moses Shorey. 1t was the helds OF Bible
laDd.'1
I never see an orchard that is loaded down
I never catch the fragrant breath, the subtle,
OF a field Of clover blossoms. the scent of
new-n wn hav,
But that fall TO thinking, IN longing sort
Of orchard lands and clover fields my boy
ish feet trod.
OF past lanes and hillside paths, deep
fringed with golden-rod;
And. like castle set in Spain, seem to see
it STILL
That old familiar farmhouse in the fields of
Bible Hill.
Oh! the fields of Bible Hill Are they still as
fresh and fair,
As when I used TO wander in their orchard
perfumed air?
Does the sunshine rise as early as it used to
do
When I waded through the clover and the
cobwebs and the dew?
Does the murmur and the music Of the little
pasture brook
Sound as sweet today as when it was my
singing book
All, no! it cannot be. would not have it so;
For It's not now the Bible Hill my boyhoOd
used to know.
My Bible Hill lay ever in the shine of sum-
mer's sun,
ana hay1nS time was playing time, IO1 WORK
and play were one.
There pleasure lurked a vagabond, in every
shady spot,
From the pasture gate down COW path to
the slipPery-elm tree lot"
1 never cut a weary swath or hoed weedy
row,
But that I found a pleasure hiding some
where, high or low.
Yes. the happiesr happiness I have known or
ever will,
Was the joy the summers brought in the
fields of Bible Hill
And you, trusted friend and true, who
held nay boyish hand,
And led, like elder brother, through that
glorious summer land;
The love bear you is as warm within my
heart today,
AS though you had not said farewell to
friends and gone away"
The memory of that happy time. when we
walked heart in heart,
Shall never fail, though miles and years bear
old-tirne friends apart.
1 love to think, though Gods own smile
doth all your longings fill,
You sometimes even now recall those fields
of Bible hill.

slenderer and swifter it seemed to

accountably, and shot with menac-
ing mouth past groups of workmen.
"Sometimes they break" said my
guide, land then they sweep things"
And his words pictured the swing Of
a red-hOt scythe.
THE wonder to me is you don't
all die of exposure and the changes
of heat and cold"
My guide looked serious. "You
don't notice any old men here" He
swept his hand about the building.
1T shortens life just like mining
there is no question about that.
That, of course, does not enter into
the usual statement. But the long

changes of temperature use a man

fessed "Still, man has got to go

more grandiose and frightful. l
hardly dared move without direc-
ton. The rosy ingots, looking like
stumps Of trees reduced to Goals OF
living fire, rose from their pits OF
flame and dropped upon the tables,
and galloped head on against the
rollers, sending off fakes of rosy
scale. AS they went through, The
giant engine Numbered on, reversing
with sound like nearby cannon
and everywhere the Earring clang Of
great beams fell upon the ear
Wherever the saw was set at work
great wheels of fire rose out of the
obscure murk of lower shadow

the exposure and prIvations of army service
