Songs Unsung.

Sweet the song OF the thrush at dawn1ng.
When the grass lies wet with spanCled dew.
Sweet the sound Of the brooks low whisper
Mid reeds and rushes wandering through;
Clear and pure is the west winds murmur
That croons in the branches all day long;
But the songs unsung are the sweetest music
And the dreams that die are the soul OF song.
The fairest hope Is the one which faded,
THE brightest leaf is the leaf that fell;
The song that leaped from the lips OF sirens
Dies away in an old sea-shell.
Far TO the heights of viewless fancy
The souls swift flight like swallow goes
For the note unheard Is the birds best carol
and the bud unblown Is the reddest rose.
Deepest thoughts are the ones unspoken,
That only the heart sense, listening, nearsi
Most great Joys bring touch OF silence,
Greatest grief is in unshed tears.
What we hear is the leettng echo,
A song dies out, but dream lives on;
The rose-red tints OF the rarest morning
Are lingering yet In distant dawn.
Somewhere, dim in the days to follow
And far away in the life to be-,
Passing sweet. Is song OF gladness-
The spirit-chant Of the soul set free.
Chords untouched are the ones we wait 1oD
That never rise from the harp unstrunSi
We turn our steps to the years beyond US,
And listen still for the songs unsung.

were cracked.
There are eight or ten Of the Case School
students employed at the Brown works, and
as they are regarded more as apprentices

cry was taken up by hundreds, and soon the

SCIENCE IN THE KITCHEN.

This is the golden age OF science,
from which uncertainty has been ban
ished. Life has been reduced to q
system; we live and move and have
our being by a set Of rules immutable
as the laws OF the Medes and Persians,
and woe betide that unfortunate WON.
an who transgresses. Science has held
its lamp aloft and thrown its rays of
heavenly light into every corner OF
every department of the house Of life,
even into that corner of unscientifc
woman, the kitchen. And the light
las revealed many strange and won
dertul things, among others the fact
that as q race we have known very
little about the science of eating.
The preparation of food in scien.
tifc way seems to be one of the most
important branches of human knowl-
edge, and yet it has only been during
the past half century that scientists
have given the subject any attention
whatever. Baron Liebig, in Germany,
was pioneer in this study, and in his
own country Professor Atwater, an Of
fcer of the Agricultural Department,
has done much to advance the science.
1t is remarkable how far wrong some
OF our time.honored traditions and
ideas are shown to be, under the in.
vestisations conducted by these scien-
fists. For instance, housekeepers
who have been for years priding them
selves upon the snow-white bread they
baked were at first dismayed to learn
that white bread is all a mistake, be-
ing not only deficient in important
food elements, but being also posi-
lively detrimental to the health. For
tunately, however, the dismay of the
housekeepers has been turned to Joy
by the discovery OF process OF max
ing whole wheat -four, by which all
the gluten of the wheat-one OF the
most important of food elements-ls
retained. Whole wheat flour must
not be confused with Graham -four,
which contains the husks or bran OF
the wheat that causes irritation OF the
digestive organs. The whole wheat
-four is free fromI Ithe bran, but it is
claimed not particle of the gluten Is
lost. It makes a bread of rich,
golden.brown color, delicious to the
taste, of easy digestion and of great
nutritive value. OF course, physicians
and cooking schools recommend and
urge the use of whole wheat -four,
with the result that it's use has spread
rapidly, and soon every one will have
ceased to regard the making OF fine
snow.white breada special accomplish.

This is only one Of the many revo.
lutions science is making IN the
kitchen. The wise woman is the one
who adapts herself to new conditions
and learns the economy of scientific
living. Food.

Electric PlOWS.

The most popular forms OF electric
plovs are the small fitting plows adapt
ed for private farming purposes.
These are provided with two plow-
shares on either side, while in front
of these is forecutter, which pre-
pares the ground. The plow is made
entirely OF steel, and Is so strong that
it is powerful enough to cut burrows
to the depth of one foot in the hardest
kind of soil. The plow is also pro-
vided with an ingenious arrangement
of underground looseners, which fol-
low the, plow and loosen the suo'soll
to q depth OF sixteen inches, but with
out turning it over. An electric mo-
tor is mounted on the plow frame.
The speed of these plows may be in
creased indefinitely merely by turn
ing the switch on the electric motor
to a higher peg. In ordinary soil
these plows have developed the speed
of a little more than 25S feet per
minute.

Cycling Notes.

Churches and schools aro now preparing
to accommodate the bicyclists.
There are 1000 bicycIists in Atlanta, Ga,
and about half OF these arc boys and girls.
A surprisingly large proportion OF women
riders does not know how to place the feet
on the pedals.
Sixty-eight is considered the best average
gear for road riding, though there are many
who advocate seventy gear.
American bicycles continue to make great
headway in Germany and are gradually dis
placing the English machines.
The speed OF twenty-five and half miles
an hour was attained by Linton in the bicy"
Gle race from Bordeaux, France, to Paris.

An Absent-Minded Nan.

OF an absent-minded man,
And an absent-minded man was he
Who forgot an unkind word
Just as soon as 1t was heard,
Such an absent-minded man was he.
In political debate.
Now, can most truly state,
Such an absent-minded man was ne,
His opponent on the street
With g hand-shake he would greet,
Such an absent-mined man was he.
Once he left goodly store
At poor old widows door.
Such an absent-minded man was he,
And, although twas all the same,
Quite forgot to leave his name,
Such an absent-minded man was he
You see
Such an absent-minded man was he.

The Annual Reunion of the Confederates
at Richmond, Va.
The sixth annual reunion Of the United
Confederate Veteran Association began at
Richmond, Va. The city was filled to over
flowing. The city was completely given
over to visitors, many Of whom came from
far Southern States. The commtssary work
was on an extensive scale, and every vacant
store on the business streets and the tobacco
warehouses were converted into dormitorles.
The decorations were profuse, and bunting
and flags covered private and public build
ings. Among the decorations the United
States flag was the most In evidence. al.
though the Confederate battle flags and State
colors were numerous. In the convention
hall, at the exposition grounds, where the
decorations were wholly Confederate colors,

structed. Whenx General John B. Cor.

Sunbeam in Love.

Naughty Cupid. little mischief,
Tired Of wounding human hearts,
Took one day golden arrow
Fashioned by his dainty arts
Shot it straight into a sunbeam
Speeding through the balmy air.
Would the sunbeam love and suffer-
Not q bit did Cupid care.
To the moonbeam. rising early,
Came glad and sweet surprise,
For a moonbeam, family glowing,
Passed before his ardent eyes.
Then the sunbeam kissed the moonoeam,
But the moonbeam fed away,
And the sunbeam, fast pursuing,
vainIy sought her all the day.
In the evening went the sunbeam,
Weary to a wiling resti

In the ardor Of his quest.
Though his search had been unfruitful,
And unsatisfled his love,
Yet the world was bright and smiling,
Gladdened as he passed above:

Berea, Ohio.
The strike that for five weeks has dis
turbed business at the Brown Hosting Ma

critical stage when mob composed Of sew

non-union workmen In their exit from the
yards.
All day the strikers had been gathered
about the works, their numbers constantly
increasing by the addition Of tha city's dis.

Ncemen under Captain English, shortly be-
fore quitting time, added to the wrath Of the
strikers, and the scenes soon became riotous.
When the whistles blew Captain English

out to the st. Clair street cars, It being the
intention to avoid trouble by this means
Instantly upon their appearance cries OF
"Seabs," "Kill them," greeted the police.
Captain English ordered charge and sent
amessage for reserves The policemen slowly
pushed the crowd along toward the Fourth

tinual fire Of missiles. Clubs were used
freely on the heads OF the Rioters, men and

dispersed, four arrests being made. Two

NO PITTSToN MINERS SAVED.
It May Be Weeks Before Bodies Will Be
Found.

The timbermen In the Twin Shaft mine,
Pittston, Penn, reached $50 feet in the fate
full slope where the fifty-eight miners were
caught. They had got to the edge OF the
cave-in, and had encountered the mass Of
chipping. 1t will be slow work to dig
through this, and although some bodies may
be recovered at almost any point, 1t seems
more likely that none will be found less than
500 feet from the face of the fall, and that
most Of the bodies will be recovered about
1900 feet inside the slope. This may be o
matter Of days or it may take weeks.
The officials of the company authorized
the statement that no matter how long II
Will take, the search will be kept up until
the bodies shall be recovered. The work will
cost from ZOO to 100000 if the searchers
have no more serious setbacks.
