NY LITTLE GIRL.

OF course the little girl was just as much Of

But somehow when our welded life got full OF
pricks and burs
told her that she'd better take the little one
and go
And stay spell at Newton Creek along with
Uncle Joe.
While I'd go off to some far land, and there I'd
work and live
Until I'd quite made up my mind which one
was to forgive.
tell you pride's an awful thing when it gets
into the heart;
Iguess it was thousand times / thought I'd
rise and start
And go right after her and that little maid of
mine.
never heard word from them. She never
wrote a line.
Then / had a spell of sickness and counted
through my tears
And found hadn't seen them both for more
than fifteen years.
Oh. my pretty, laughing darling, she must be
tall and fairl
How I'd rig her out in ribbons and feathers rich
and rarel
| could almost feel my fingers upon her soft
white brow;
That little sunny head of hers would touch my
shoulder now.
Yet the strangest thing-in all my dreams she
was little child,
With the yellow curls of babyhood and big
eyes, round and mild.
As soon as was better l started on my way
And reached the town at noontime one hot
and dusty day,
And near by, in the churchyard, stopped to
rest and wait.
There was little baby's grave close to the
mold'ring gate.

In a paper read before the London
Chemical society by G. H. Walker on
the action of nitric acid ON tin, some of
the prevalent ideas ON that subject are
shown to be singularly erroneous.
Among these is the general supposition
that metallic tin dissolves in nitric acid
with the production of both stannous
and stannic salt, according to the condi-
tions of temperature and concentration
of the acid. In these later experiments
made to determine the amounts Of
stannous salts formed under various con-
ditions of temperature, concentration of
acid and mass of tin treated-it is shown
that with dilute acids the increase of
temperature has but little effect, but
with more concentrated acids the effect
is more marked, for the alteration of
few more degrees will reduce the amount
of stannous salt to nothing, while in
crease of concentration, other things be-
ing equal, decreases the proportion of
stannous salt 1t is found that the yell
lowish white substance formed from con-
centrated solutions is a hydrated stannic
nitrate of varying composition, depend
ing ON the time between production and
analysis, also on the method of purifica-
ton adopted for eliminating the nitric
acid. New York Sun.

Facts About Horses.

For the city carriage horse the hack
ney of about 10. in height and weigh
ing /, 200 pounds is the approved model
The hackney while extremely stylish in
appearance is rather short legged, and
is therefore less apt to slip upon city
pavements than the long legged horse.
Hackneys are animals for both riding
and driving. A hackney under 3 hands
high is called cob.
Burdett-C outts says that when horse
reaches the height of over Is. 3 he can
no longer be called hackney, even
though he is of the most approved strain
of that blood He must be classed as a
coach horse. A coach horse is large
carriage horse.
The Russian Orloffs are among the
most beautiful horses in the world But
they are what is known among breed
ers as 'leggy" horses-that is, long leg
ged. They are therefore better adapted
for carriage animals in the country and
suburban towns than in the city, where
it is claimed their long legs make them
more liable to slip than the haclneys.
Nevertheless in Paris the splendid black
Orloffs brought there and driven by rich
and noble Russians belong to this same
"leggy" type, so called, and they are
the most noted of all the beautiful car
riage horses in that gay city.
The approved hackney has a short
back. so that his fore feet and hind feet
stretch far apart from each other fore
and aft. That is what gives to him the
peculiar conformation so much admired
in the show ring. He also has, if of the
best type of hackney, a long as well as
thick and powerful neck.
The typical hackney head is short,
with rather heavy and wide jaw tits
also wide between the eyes and rather
wide between the ears.
When horse is wide between the
eyes, he has intelligence and plenty Of
horse sense.

Is the oIeander Poisonous?

Whether locality has anything to do
with it or not has not yet been definite
" settled, but certain it is that in GER
tain portions of the country the olean-
der, SO much admired for its exquisite
blossoms, has been the cause of serious
illness, and in some cases death has
been attributed to too intimate associ-
alton with it. Several persons were at
tackled with exceedingly painful throat
disorders, with headache, giddiness and
violent heart agitation. The dispensa-
tories class it as heart poison, and one
of its victims died in the most distress
ing heart commissions. Animals are
affected by it as we'll as man. A valua-
BILE horse died a few moments after
browsing on the stalks and leaves. Sew
eral cows died from drinking water into
which some cuttings of the plant had
been thrown, and other animals were
very sick from inhaling the smoke from
burning twigs and leaves of this plant.
They were shut in small yard, and a
breeze carried the smoke directly to-
ward them. In other localities there
seem to be no serious consequences at
tending the cultivation of this plant.
Whether immediate surroundings OF
climatic conditions have anything to do
with the effects of this popular house
plant would furnish an interesting sub
ject for discussion York Ledger.

A sPY's CLOSE CALL


He Was Rescued From Impending Death
by Clever Newspaper Ruse.
On the battlefield of Antietam Mr. Nc
Clure met General William j. Palmer,
then captain, and strongly urged him
not to continue his movements as spy
after Lee had crossed into Virginia, but
the gallant young soldier gave no prom
Use as to what he would be likely to do,
and the very first night after Lee crossed
the Potomac he was again in Lees camp
and brought back important information
to General Mcclellan.
Again he returned and entered the
Confederate lines, and when he did not
report after week it was assumed that
he had been captured and would proba-
bly, be executed as a spy. He had been
captured, was tried and condemned as
spy and sentenced to be executed, but he
was saved by clever newspaper device
determined upon after a conference in
this city between President j. Edgar
Thomson of the Pennsylvania railroad,
Colonel Scott and Mr. Mcclure. Thorn
son took special interest in Palmer, as he
had been his secretary, and was much at
tached to him.
1t was decided that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all of the
Philadelphia morning papers an--ounc-
ing the arrival at the capital of Captain
William J. Palmer, stating in what par
ticular lines of the enemy he had oper-
ated, and adding that he had brought
much important information that could
not be given to the public at the time.
These dispatches appeared next morning
in all the Philadelphia papers, promi-
nently displayed, and of course reached
the southern lines within 4S hours.
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended In little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there was a
vacancy made in the list of the exchanged
men by death. Palmer's friends had
him take the place and name of the dead
soldier, and he thus escaped and returned
to the service Philadelphia Times.

fore trial, one reason, it is but fair to
add, being that her property would thus
have been saved for her daughter from
confiscation Charlotte Corday in stab
bling Marat was manifestly acting under
classical recollections She took her IA
yorite Plutarch with her ON her journey
to Paris, and she hoped to stab Marat in
the convention and be torn to pieces,
but possibly to be applauded, by his fell
low deputies She counted ON meeting
Brutus and other ancients in the Ely
sian fields
Zone regrets the theatrical tone which
some may attribute to her collateral de-
scent from Corneille. When arrested,
she applied to the committee of public
safety for leave to have her portrait
taken as a bequest to her native depart
ment. At her trial, noticing that an art
list, Hauer, was sketching her, she turn
ed her head toward him that he might
have a better view, and she obtained
permission to give him two hours sit
ting in her cell while waiting for the
tumbril. She suggested corrections in
his sketch and begged him to send arep-
lica to her father. She presented him
also with lock of her hair. The revo-
lutionists, indeed, were too self con-
scious. "
Another way in which the Friends
of Liberty" showed their admiration for
the writers of antiquity was by chang
ing their names for those of their favor
lite Roman heroes or heroines. This
copying of the names and even the Gus
toms of ancient Greece and Rome must
have often led to some very strange in
congruities.
Even the rooms in the Paris prisons
were inscribed Cincinnatus Brutus,
Socrates, ETC., sometimes also Marat,
which was peculiarly appropriate, until
in June, 1894, Pagan urged on the mu-
nicipality that the shades of these great
men would be indignant at seeing the
cells of conspirators called by their
names. Thereupon the inscriptions were
effaced. Civic dinners in imitation Of
Sparta also became common in Paris
few weeks before Robespierre's fall
People had tables spread outside their
houses in the street and had their sery-
ants sit down to partake with them A
man would be heard haughtily ordering
his servant ON the staircase and coming
out to dinner would have that servant
sit beside him and would drink his
health. A fashionable lady would say:
Look how l love equality! l dine pub
icly with my servants. This innova-
ton, denounced by some as an intrigue
of the Hebertists, by others as an aris-
tocratic device for lulling patriotic sus-
picions, was, however, very short lived. "

A DANGEROUS PLIGHT.

One Old Sailors Exciting Adventure With
aPOlar Bear In the Cold Regions.
There is an old soldier named Jake
recently returned to San Francisco from
an Arctic cruise, who has made up this
mind not to go on another whaling ex-
petition no matter what happens The
reason is this: On one occasion during
his late voyage Jake was on the watch
in the lookout cradle at the masthead,
and it was night-that is, as much
night as it ever gets up there in sum-
mer The sun had been down about an
hour and would rise again about an
hour later.
It was beautiful sight as the ship
lay there in the ice, and the air seemed
scintillating with phosphorescent glow
that penetrated everywhere and made
no shadows. On all sides the pack ice
lay close to the vessel and reached for
miles in every direction, broken occa-
sionally by large berg or the faint out
lines of another ship The silence was
profound 1t seemed to produce roar
ing sound like the waves Of distant
ocean. Such surroundings will put
person in a semicomatose state, from
which the slightest sound will awaken
him with a start
Jake suddenly saw something white
in the gloom climbing the mast His
first impulse was to jump to the deck.
but before he could act upon it the
white object climbed through the lubber
hole, and Jake then saw it was polar
bear Jake realized that he was in a
most dangerous position and began to
think Of means to escape. He called to
the watch on deck below, but they
couldn't hear. He tried to get out I'M
der the canvas, but the beast grabbed
him and pulled him back 1t began
humping him, and every time Jake at
tempted to move away it would growl
Suddenly his eyes lighted on rope
hanging to the deck just back of the
cradle By this means he thought he
could reach the deck. To swing himself
free was but the work of an instant,
but the bear made jump and caught
hold Of his foot. But a few vigorous
kicks freed him, and then began a new
terror. Perhaps the rope was not strong
and would break, or he might miss the
stay and swing against the mast and be
dashed to death.
The moment in the air seemed years
filed with horror, and several times
Jake wished he had taken his chances
with the bear To grab the stay and
hold on was the most difficult, and
twice Jake's hands slipped and almost
lost it.
When he reached the deck, he looked
up and saw the rope swing back to the
cradle, where the bear grabbed it. 1t
tried to do as it had seen Jake do, but
had no sooner swung clear than it slip
ped and fell to the deck. The crew had
bearsteak for breakfast. San Francisco
