Four little slaves my lady has.

Four little slaves my lady has,
All obedient 20 her will.
with potent wand she rules them,
TO her highest bidding schools them.
When she takes In hand her bow,
Straight they sing or loud or low,
willing choristers until
She commands them to be still.
when my lady's heart beats happy,
All her little slaves rejoice.
Sing they then with exultation,
As in joyful emulation
OF the lark that from on high
Fills the earth with melody.
'Twixt their music and lark's voice
Hard for mortals TO make choice.
When she sighs in melancholy,
Plaintive then and sad their strain.
wailing as for lost salvation,
As for sins past expiation,
Moaning like some wounded thing,
Sobbing, signing, whimpering,
Shrielting now in bitter pain,
Sinking now TO sobs again.
Thus their music changes ever
with the changing of her mood
Now in minor chords of sadness,
Now in joyous poem Of gladness.
Would she but, as them, rule me
Great my happiness would be,
Daily, hourly renewed,
Bound in such sweet servitude.

Early Steam Engines.

pared, large enough to make plan and
side elevation, full size Engines all
being made very long stroke, the draw
ing boards We're quite large, an engine
Of IA inches diameter, 48 inches stroke,
taking board about by 90 feet The
engine was plotted down, lines chalked
and loaded. Patterns were then made
to correspond to the drawings, castings
were made and fitted, but connecting
rod, piston rod, valve rods, ETC., were
left till the cylinder guides and pillow
block were fitted on the bed plate.
Measurements were then taken for the
different rods and the rods made the
proper length to fit. No two engines
were exactly alike. Variations in shrink
age and fitting were adjusted in the
length Of the rods
Generally after the first engine was
made the drawings were planed out, so
that the drawing board could be used
for another size. This destroyed the rec
ured for each particular engine this did
not interrupt the work of construction
/ need not refer to the present methods
in this line, as you are all familiar with
them. Today almost every part of an
engine or other machine could be made
in different shops, widely separated, and
then assembled into complete machine
without hitch. This would have been
impossible under the old plan. Taking
all the disadvantages into consideration,
the wonder is that the mechanics Of 90
years ago could turn out as good ma.

A complete and immediate revo-
luton of importation methods, in
volving reduction Of freight charges
on grain from the West to New York
of from so to 80 per cent, is what is
predicted in the November CosMoPoL.
ITAN. The plan proposes using light
and inexpensive corrugated iron CYL
inders, hung on slight rail supported
on poles from cross-arm-the whole
system involving an expense of not
more than fifteen hundred dollars a
mile for construction. The rolling
stock is equally simple and compar-
atively inexpensive. Continuous lines
of cylinders, moving with no interval
to speak Of would carry more grain in
a day than a quadruple track railway
This would constitute a sort of grain.

points out the probable abolition of
street-cars before the coming horseless
carriage, which can be operated by a
boy on asphalt pavements at a total
expense for labor, oil and interest, of
not more than one dollar day.

How Michigan cares for her dependent and
neglected Children. Who will odsrs
Home for . Boy or Crit

The State Public School for tho care
of the dependent, neglected and III
treated children of Michigan, Ia an
Institution OF which the people Of
Michigan may we'll be proud. 1t has
solved the financial problem Of taking
care of these children, and as pro-
tective measure against pauperism'
vice and crime its value to the public
is unreasonable. Before its fonnd.
alton there was no place for the
children thrown upon the public
charge, except the county houses
where they were necessarily under
the debasing influence of pauperism
and vice. At a time In their lives
when impressions received are most
lasting, they were thrown among
those whose influence is almost uni
formly bad. and their young lives were
thus blighted.
The establishment of the State
Public School marked an epoch In
the child life of Michigan. The state
assumes the right 10 the guardian
ship of those children who are de-
pendent, neglected or ill-treated, and
cares for them by furnishing them
temporary home at the school where
by means of perfect physical comfort
and healthful moral training, they
are led to forget their old life and be-
come prepared to take their places
with their more fortunate fellows In
the families and schools through
out the state. Before admission to
the school they have known little Of
comfort and happiness. Their resi-
dence there, short though it usually
is, gives them new idea OF life, and
they have no desire to return to the
old manner of living. The price Of
admission is dependence or ill-treat-
ment, and the qualifications are that
they shall be between one and twelve
years of age, and sound mentally and
physically.
Since the opening of the institution
In 1874, nearly 300 children have
been received and cared for. There
are now in the institution about 200,
and over 1850 are with good families
throughout the state, and under the
supervision of the scho The others
have passed out from under the
schools control. Those with families
are placed on contracts which provide
for their proper care and education.
Is 1t not probable that there are
many in this vicinity who would
gladly take one or more of these
children into their homes and make
them their own?
The best selections are boys from
four to eight years of a.e, and it is
believed that the homes would be
blessed fully as much as the children
by taking the children into them.

Our Washington correspondentsavs:
Senator Chandler has steadily main
tanned, that the Republicans would
organize the Senate, with the votes
of the Populist Senators, not through
any bargain for those votes, but
simply hecaase the Populists will vote
for the republican candidate for pres
ident pro tenn, OF the senate in pref
erence to the demo, ratio candidate
for that position, and he still holds
to that opinion. Some of the shrewd-
est members of the Senate hold diff
ferent opinion as to what the Popu-
lists will do, believing that their
votes will depend largely upon the
financial status Of the candidates for
president pro TEN. OF the Senate
There Is one thing, however, about
which Senator Chandler has changed
his opinions. He was, until the re-
cent elections, inclined to favor the
idea of issuing short and temporary
loans to meet the deficit in the treas
ury receipts, but he isn't now. He
said since his arrival In Washington:
IL think we ought, in view OF the
way in which the people have spoken,
to provide revenue by duties on wool,
wooden manufactures, lumber and
agricultural products. 1t seems to
me that President Cleveland, il he
can appreciate the meaning OF the
elections, ought to yield somewhat in
his position, and meet us in our efforts
to aid the treasury and the country.
II he will not we ought not to let the
matter rest. We ought to present to
him what we think is right, and IL he
chooses not to accept it, the mis-
fortune is his. We can say we have
done our duty, pass the appropriation
bills and adjourn congress as early as
next May; and the Republicans will
carry nearly forty states for their
Presidential candidate"

call deliberate cheek. The Republi-
cans carried every northern state
in which elections we're held. In
addition they carried Maryland and
Kentucky, which never voted in favor
Of a Republican ticket, and New
Jersey, which has almost invariably
been carried by the Democrats. The
same ratio in 1896 would give the
Republicans two more southern states
and one more doubtful state, and this
is the condition the $500 Democrat"
extracts comfort from. In the pre-

candidate for governor, had a plural
