Congress has ut various times appointed
special holidays and has recognized the
existence OF certain days as holidays, for

An Autumn Treasure Trove.

tbs the time of the year IS shutdown, and flame
Hangs on the maple bough,
And June is the faded flower of n name.
The thin hedge hides not singer now.
Yet rich am /, for my treasure be
The gold ahoat in my willow tree.
Sweet morli on the hillside dripping with dew
Girded with blue and pearl,
Counts the leaves ahoat in the streamlet too.
As the lovelorn heart of wistful girl
She sings while her soul, broOding tearfully,
Sees dream Of gold in the willow tree.
All day pure white and saffron at eve,
Clouds awaiting the sun
Turn them at length to ghosts that leave
When the moon s white path is slowly run
Till the morning comes and with joy for me
Der my gold agleam in the willow tree.
The lilacs that blew on the breast Of May
Are an old and lost delight,
And the rose lies ruined in his careless way
AS the wind turns the poplars underwhite.
Yet richer am | for the autumn. See
All my misty gold in the willow tree.

Peculiar Case of Fire.

peculiar case of fire on shipboard was
that which damaged the bark Annie Stat
ford at Dieppe, France, recently, the facts
in the case having been learned at the iu-
vestigation into the fire. 1t seems that the
vessel carried as ballast about 80 tons of
flint stones. While lying light alongside
the quay the vessel pitched and rolled, and
this produced friction between the stones,
which is said to have caused spark or
sparks which ignited the ceiling. As the
bark had previously carried cargoes of pc
troleum, the interior woodwork was nat
urally in fine condition for taking fire

A Metal SO Bill.

Something quite remarkable came into
the redemption division Of the treasury at
Washington Il short time ago. 1t was Il
thin plate of silver about feet long, into
the surface of which $40 silver certificate
had been pressed in such manner as to
incorporate its substance actually with
that of the metal. 1t was brand new bill
and in the process had been squeezed out
to about twice its original size. Neverthe-
less it was perfectly recognizable.
A statement accompanied it to the effect
that workman in silverware factory
had dropped the bill accidentally upon the
plate of silver as the latter was passing
through rolling machine This explana-
ton being satisfactory, fresh $40 certifi-
cate was returned to the loser.
