THE ELECTRIC SPIRIT.

With wild wings fettered ride the wires.
My life finds issue in binding fires,
Bright shapes are wrought by my fying
breath,
But my touch is fame, and my kiss is death
Since man hath bound me with coil and chain.
Nor sea nor space can his word restrain,
wind my circles Of burning speed
The round globe over to serve his need
OF warning winds I am king and lord;
The storms come welding my radiant sword
| laugh in light as the swift strokes fly,
The sullen thunders make slow reply.
With mystic passion'I yearn from far
To my secret home meath the northern star
And thence, on the vast black walls of night
fling great rays from my gates Of light
Time fees before me, and none may know
My course as from star to star go,
For am life. In the utmost dark
Gods touch enkindled my fervid spark
Think ye to know me, o ye who raise
My torch Of flame on the worlds highways?
Ask him whose throne is the central light
Of countless suns in their wheeling flight.
With fierce strength fettered, l ride the wires
Prometheus spirits have tanned my fires,
But God alone, in his chosen hour.
Can free the force Of my nameless power.
Marion Couthouy Smith.

THE ADVANCED WOMAN,

she may stand upon the corner in her bloom
ers if she chooses;
She can smoke a cigarette in public, too;
She may think up shocking thoughts and dec
icate them to the muses.
In fact, do anything that's truly new.
But do not yet repine,
Oh, creatures masculine,
Nor think creation 8 altered in its plan,
For she always wants to do
Things she's not expected to,
And she doesn't care to do them when she can
A foremost place in politics-she'll have it If
she pleases;
She worry over bargains in appropriation
bills
And decorate the gave! which untutored man
now seizes
With gilt and pretty ribbons till with joy
the eye it fills.
She may do it all in style
For a very little while,
But the ultimate result we calmly scan,
For she always wants to do
Things she's not expected to,
And she doesn't care to do them when she can,

NapoIeons Advice About Hortense.

Louis, who was governing Holland
with reference to its own best interests,
and ordering the affairs of his own fam
lily rigidly, but admirably. received Sc
we're and passionate reprimand from
the emperor for his economy. What was
wanted was pay for the troops, plenty
Of conscripts, encouragement for the
Dutch Catholics, and giddy court,
where men would forget more serious
things and where Queen Hortense could
make display. "Let your wife dance
as much as she wants to- It is proper
for her age. have a wife 40 years old,
and from the field of battle I recon-
mend her to go to balls, while you want
one of 30 to live in cloister, or, like
wet nurse, always bathing her child"

THE GOODLY SWORD.
The Egyptians Gave It the Name Fifty
Centuries Ago.

The Egyptians Gave It the Name Fifty
Centuries Ago.
Half hundred centuries ago the
Egyptians gave to the sword it's name.
Since those old days the history of the
trenchant blade, stained with blood and
defaced by the scars o. battle though it
is, holds much of the glory, the poetry
and the chivalry of the cruel game of
war.
A friend whose fidelity never wavered
and whose power never failed, it is not
surprising that men endowed the sword
not only with human attributes, but
with tho might and majesty Of the gods
themselves. The old legends abound in
tales Of its magical powers. How the
divine armorers strove continually to
excel some rival in the forging Of a
blade of temper so delicate that it
might cut thread with the same ease
with which it struck head from the
body, or hewed through heavy metal
armor, was favorite subject of the old
Teutonio and viking tales.
These legendary blades bore charac-
teristio names, by which they were in
variably known: Graysteel, Wader
Through Sorrow and Milestone Bitter
were swords Of wide reuoYn, and we
ali remember how Arthur Of the Round
Table took "Excalibur, the sword that
rose from out the bosom Of the lake.
Cesar's sword was called Crocca Mors;
Charlemagne's Joyeuse played no small
part in the setting up of the great Frank
ish empire. Many bold captain went
down before El Tizona, welded by the
relentless hand of the Cid
The japanese, whose civilization was
old before ours began, have produced
beautiful examples of the swordmaker'
art. The Japanese nobleman carried his
swords as the insignia of his rank. He
wore one on each side, thrust into the
folds of his sash.
These swords have been handed down
as heirlooms from father to son, and it
was not unusual for families of ancient
lineage to have as many as 1900 of
them-marvels Of costly and artistic
workmanship-in their possession. The
scabbards are richly lacquered and
bound about with a silken cord in q
curious pattern. The blade is curved,
and the round guard is pierced to car
ry small dagger. This guard, called
a tsuba, is decorated with curious de-
signs, and so great is the ingenuity of
the Japanese metal workers that among
the thousands Of swords they have pro-
duced it is impossible to find two guards
exactly alike. They are priced so highly
by collectors that large sums of money
have been paid frequently for an an
tique sword, only that it might be ruth
lessly torn apart to secure the guard. -

A bill has recently been introduced in the Senate at Washington by Senator Thurston providing for the pensioning of ex-slaves by the government This seems to be oaErying the pension busi- ness too far and the bill is not likely to be met favorably. These ex-slaves have cost this country enough already; half 2 million lives and over two billion dol lars. The government has done enough for its wards in giving them their free dom and caring for their interests, with out pensioning them without any ap- parent reason why. This race of American blacks did not free themselves from bondage ss those of San Domingo did, (the only race who ever threw off the yoke by their own unaided efforts) but were given their freedom at an enormous cost to the No. tn and at an enormous cost to the Sonth. This question of pensioning them by government now supported by both sections of this country will be met by negative opin- ions by most cool thinking persons, and the moral right of the question does not seem to be in the le esst obligatory.

Samples of the gravel will have have to be sent to the commissioner for their approval We think the selectmen should call a special town meeting at once and de- eide what is to be done. The commis- sioners advise this. as they will com meuce to make allotments of cash early in March and we are now we'll into Feb iuary.
