A LITTLE DUTCH GARDEN.

/, passed by a garden, little Dutch garden,
Where useful and pretty things grew
Heartsease and tomatoes.
And pinks and potatoes.
And lilies and onions and rue.
I saw in that garden, that little Dutch garden,
A chubby Dutch man with spade,
And q rosy Dutch frau
With q shoe like a scow,
And a flaxen haired little Dutch maid.
There grew in that garden, that little Dutch
garden,
Blue flag flowers, lovely and tall,
And early blush roses
And little pink posies-
But Gretchen was fairer than all.
Ny hearts in that garden, that little Dutch
garden.
II tumbled right in as passed,
Mid 'wildering mazes
OF spinach and daisies,
And Gretchen is holding it fast.

FOR WAGE-EARNERS TO
CONSIDER.


The case of the stove manufac-
turer of Newark, Ohio, who has
notified his six employees of his
intention to raise their wages
ten per cent in the event of Bry-
ans election has excited a good
deal of comment, marked byrdfol-
lery. The incident is instructive
as well as amnsinS.<This en-
ployer has unwittingly given an
object-lesson to wOrkingmen on
the effect of the adoption of the
silver standard. 1t is suggested
by a correspondent of the Times
Star that the Newark mans lib
crafty is only exceeded by the
size of his plant; that he is EVIL
IDENTIFY a good financier, whether
he employees six men or six hun
dred; but he has Overreached
himself by giving the snap away
SO early in the game. Suppose
the employees are getting 81 a
day. A ten per cent advance now
would be a good thing, meaning
under our present gold standard
1920; but under the free and IN
limited coinage of silver the
workingman would receive about
One-half, or S1.10, measured by
purchasing power.
This is something for mechan-
les and all laboring men to think
over. With the lowering of the
purchasing power of money,
prices would advance, as they
have always increased in the
past, to the exact extent of the
cheapening of money. Wages
would be raised but slightly, and
slowly, if at all. The Newark
mans promise of a ten per cent
advance serves well as an illus
tration of the situation which
would confront age-earners if
free coinage should be adopted.
While prices would go up 100 per
cent the workingman could ex-
pect but little more than a ten
per cent increase in wages. Thus
the monetary juggle which Bryan
proposes, would reduce wages, as
measured by the purchasing pow
err of money, forty-five per cent.
1t is one of the "pOints" in the
free coinage argument that the
silver standard would prove bet
ter than the protective traiff to
American industries, because our
manufacturers could then com
pete successfully with foreign
producers in the markets of the
world. They would be enabled
to thus compete solely by reason
of the reduced cost of production
and this reduction of the cost
would be altogether due to the
great lowering of wages as com.
pared with prices. Does Ameri.
can labor like this prospect held
out by Bryan and the PropOcra.

LAWN BILLIARDS.

Lawn billiards is the latest
suggestion for the pOpulariza-
ton of garden parties. The game
is, as yet,sso little known that it
merits a word or two of descrip-
ton: A ground about the same
size as that used for crOquet is
rolled as smoothly as possible,
and its boundaries banked up a
few inches in imitation of cush-
ions. Croquet balls can be used,
and holes in the turf take the
place Of the regulation pockets.

A FINE COLLECTION.
Mr.. II. W. Bryant's Collection Of Book
Plates.

The Book Buyer thus speaks of col.
lection OF book plates recently owned BY
Mr.. II. W. Bryant of this CITY: sThe
collection of Mr.. H. W. Bryant, of Port
land, comprised about sixteen hundred
plates, and was sold intact to Mr.. Rowe
two years ago. Mr.. Bryant has been a
collector for over fifteen years, commonc-
ing at time when few were collecting
and good plates were easily obtainable.
particularly early American plates.
-Four years ago, when In Portland, the
writer had the pleasure of examining his
collection, and was agreeably surprised
at the excellent variety it contained. Mr..
Bryant had his plates classified by styles
and nationalities, and also adopted the
single-mount style, now SO popular with
all collectors. OF American plates preyi-
GUS to the year 1880, Mr.. Bryant had over
one hundred good examples, many of
which were signed by Hurd, Dawkins,
Reveue and the Mavericks. A few par
ticularly rare specimens were the plates
of Samuel PROVOST, John Mercer, Sir
''A@AAesAA AcPPolOl1, o6ujctullu JE00Q0.
Gardiner Chandler, Benjamin s. Judah.
John c. Williams, Isaiah Thomas, Ed
ward Everett, Samuel Jones, Charles
Carroll. Frederick De Peyster, Thomas
Child. Robert Ellston, De Witt Clinton.
William Byrd, James Wright, John
Marston, Spooner, and Stith. OF foreign
plates English, German, and French
Mr.. Bryant had good gathering of all
the best styles, and of plates by all the
noted artists and engravers. OF the rarer
variety of modern plates Mr.. 3ryant's
collection contained specimens seldom
seen, and highly priced when obtained.
One of these is now reproduced, namely
the plate of Mr.. Christopher Sykes in the
heraldic-allegoric style designed by the
noted English artist, Mr.. (now Sir john
Miilais. Mr.. Bryant also owns a COPY of
the only plate ever designed by Thaok-
cray, which he made for his friend Ed
ward Fitzgerald. Since disposing of his
collection Mr.. Bryant is now trying to
make second collection, which he finds
a difficult task Mr.. Bryant has had two
personal plates, and he is willing to ex-
change.

GUS GATo's BOSTON BOUT.
Comments of Boston Papers On the Spa r
ring of Portland's Well Known Athlete
Made Good Showing Against Big Oppo-
nents.

At the first Of the licensed amateur
boxing bouts at the Newton street arm
DRY. at Boston, Monday night, Gus Cato,
a we'll known athlete and boxer of this
city, took part, and, though he made an
excellent showing, was defeated.
The Herald says Of the contest
"Pat Buckleysof Charleston and Gus
Cato of Portland, Me-, 119 pounds. This
was funnier than collection of goats.
Cato was little chunk of a man, while
Buckley was tall and thin, liRe reed.
Cato doubled Buckley up like jaokknife
repeatedly, andstook q lot kof starch out
of him. Now and then Buckley gwiped"
the little follow on the jaw with scythe-
like swing but he stood up nobly. Cato
shook up Buckeyes ribs in the second
and third rounds, while Charlestown's
pride painted Gato's nose lovely YER
million. In the extra round called, Cato
acted as IL he didn't like what he was
getting, and showed an inclination to
quit. He was prevailed upon to remain
however, and the decision went against
him"
The Globe says Of it:
Patrick Buckley of Charlestown and
Mr.. Cato of Portland, featherweights,
were next introduced. Cato acted like
a veteran in the first three rounds. but he
showed a yellow streak in the fourth.
1t was the opinion of most of the specta-
tors that he was a ringer.
Buckley started the bout as il he
would win in oanter but after getting
three rightcounters on the ribs he lost
considerable Of his style. Cato avoided
Buckeyes leads in clever way and
closed the round with left in the wind
and then on the jaw.
The Portland man clearly outboxed
Buckley in the next round, the latter
only countering on the body twice, while
Cato reached the ribs and face with right
and left.
Gin the next round Gato's right again
visited Buckeyes ribs and second later
he reached the faco with both hands.
Buckley succeeded in getting in the left
and right couple Of times and the judg-
es failing to agree on winner an extra
round was called. Gato's heart seemed to
have gone back on him in this round.
and Buckley had no trouble in landing
either hand when and where he wished.
The judges gave Buckley the award -
The Post says:
ga lumberman from Portland named
Cato, weighing III pounds, put up a
rattling contest with Pat Buckley of
Charlestown.
.'When it came to the necessary extra
round, Cato got bit frightened at the
sight of his nose bleed, and let UP so
much that Buckley won."

The Tree of Blood.

The most wonderful optical expert
ment known to the eye experts is that
which produces the "blood tree," or
"the arborescent figure of Purkinje."
1t is very simple and entertaining ex-
pertinent and one from which no possi-
bic harm to the eye can result. The ex-
pertinent is an optical delusion in which
the retina of the eye and all the blood
vessels connected Herewith appear to
stand ont i'll the air i'll such manner
that the experimenter has a splendid
view of them.
Purkinje, the great optician, acci-
dentaly made this discovery of the
"blOod tree, or "arborescent figure"
which bears his name several years ago,
and since his time it has been used in
thousands OF curious test experiments.
The projected image is called the
"arb0rescent figure" because of its re-
scmblance to Il many branched tree and
is produced i'll the following manner:
Shut yourself up i'll dark room at
night and move a candle or lighted
lamp back and forth very rapidly before
the eyes. After a few seconds the air
surrounding the candle will assume
deep pink or reddish color, which rap
idly takes upon itself the appearance of
sea of blood. Over this red background
ramifying in all directions may be seen
the veins and blood vessels standing out
i'll bold relief, while toward the center
OF the figure there appears a dark trunk
like line which serves as Il "bOdy' for
your ''tree of blood" the trunk being
most plainly visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye.
This experiment is chiefly interesting
because it proves that the parts of the
retina which actually receive impress
sions and produce sensations must lie
behind the blood vessels, since these
cast their shadow upon it and enable
the cXperinonter to see them rs plainly
as he does any ether external object

BAlRO'S TAPlR.
A Common Enough Animal That Cannot
BE Seen In ANY Collection.

A Common Enough Animal That Cannot
BE Seen In ANY Collection.
Still less known in this country, and
never seen, either i'll monagcries Or mu-
seums, are the two species OF tapir found
in Central America. The sleek, plump
bodied, chocolate brown tapir of South
America we do see occasionally,
both alive and dead, but of Baird's
taplr there is not oven one adult
stuffed specimen i'll existence, either
i'll this country or i'll Europe. A few
skulls and skeletons and two OF three
mutilated and unmOuntablc skins are
positively all the world possesses i'll
representation of this species, aud, what
is still worse, no naturalist has yet had
an opportunity to even write descrip-
tion of the full grown animal! The
young animal is known to be of red
dish brown color, marked with irTegu-
lar white spots and stripes.
Our universal poverty in specimens
of the tapir named i'll honor OF Professor
Baird is not due to the extreme rarity
of the animal, but rather to lack of
enterprise on the part of the intelligent
white men who from time to time have
had it in Their power to procure and to
preserve specimens. The animal is we'll
known in Panama, Costa Rica, Mica
ragua, Honduras and southern Mexico.
Although tapirs are usually found
along small and we'll shaded rivers in
the hot Jowlands of the tropics, they
are frequently found on forest covered
mountains as well. DR.. Frantzius in
forms us that in Costa Rica Baird's
tapir is found both in the lowlands and
on the highest mountain ranges. He
says also that ''it is much hunted. for
its flesh is very delicate The back
woodsmen salt it, or dry it i'll the air,
and thus provide themselves with large
stores. Its thick hide is very useful
T3pirs are very fond of the
salt lcks which are formed in the neigh
borhood of the numerous mineral springs
by the evaporation of the saline water.
Here they are either shot with bullets
on moonlight nights or are hunted
down with dogs and killed with spears. -
