SELECTIONS OF VERSE.
Secrets,

secrets.
Away down in the woodland, where the
uny brooklet flows,
There's a little secret murmured by each
gentle breeze that blows;
And the zephyrs tell 1t softly to each tall
and listening tree,
Which then begins TO rustic In a trance Of
happy glee.
The buttercups and daisies spell it out
among the grass.
To be read by all the butterflies that DER
the woodland pass
And the brooklet tells 1t lowly. In q burst
Of merry song,
To all the silent lily-bells that grow its
path along
The dancing sunbeams write It all about
the wood and dell.
And the silver moonbeams, as they glide.
the secret try to tell.
The birdie choir trills It O.. in solos and
duets
In "jubilate chorus" and in merry, shrill
quartettes.
Above US, softly outlined gainst the tender
azure sky.
The little. flmy cloudlets float in misty
wilderness by;
And they are so slow and lazy. and so very
much al ease
For no rude winds now can touch them, so
they'll do just as they please.
Oh. what is the little secret that is whis-
pered all around
That is murmured In the treetops. and Is
written on the ground?
Can't you guess? Why. it's that spring.
with all her merry train, is here
That cross old winters gone away, and
summer time is near!

just for Her.
I saw the postmark on the note,

! saw the postmark on the note,
And l was glad to see
The tender, touching words she wrote:
Write something just for me!''
And then l sat and unused a spell:
/ heard the seagulrs cry,
And watched the waters sink and swell
Beneath the saffron sky.
Again I read those wistful words,
Whose accents, fair and free,
Were sweeter than the songs of birds:
Write something just for me!'
In fancy once again stood
Beneath the messy boughs.
And heard the songsters of the wood
Exchange their caroled vows.
The light shone In her soft, gray eyes
That matched the calm, gray sea.
I caught those plaintive, pleading signs:
Write something just for mer
And I've been dreaming here tonight.
And l have seen once more
The flash of old St. Simon's light
Along the shining shore.
And have scrawled these rugged lines
Here, while ! longed to be
With her whose message from the pines:
write something just for met
And though it's but homely screed,
With many a blot and blur.
She'll take tn intention for the deed
IT'S written Just for her!

SOME LATE NEW THINGS.

A combined ice and roller skate re-
Gently patented has the wheels set on
rollers fastened to clamps, so that they
can be sprung upward out of line Of
the runner when not in use.
A newly devised luxury for use in
the bath tub consists of q soft lining
made of sponges attached to wire net

For use in exterminating bedbugs
and other vermin a small lamp is fitted
with a water compartment in the top,
with a nozzle, to direct the steam in any
desired direction and scald the pests.
A simple signaling device recently
patented consists of post with pro-
jecting arm placed beside tract to en-
gage the lever extending outward from
the side of the cab to blow the whistle
Of ring the bell.
A handy attachment for use on UNI
brellas has rod inside the handle ex-
tending up to he upper catch to re-
lease the braces by pressing the lower
end of the rod when it is desired to
lower the umbrella.
For the purpose of preventing the
overflow of jugs and cans when filling
with funnel piece of cork is attached
to the lower end of a rod running
through the funnel so that the float
rises in sight as the jug fills.
A newly patented waterproof sweat
band for hats is formed of non-ab-
sorbent material attached to a series of
perforated cork sections inside the hat
rim, TO keep the hat from coming in
contact with the head.
A newly designed bed spring for sick

THE TORNADO ALARM.

tube may be made as large as desired,
its connection with the larger tube be-
ing such as to cause the fluid in both
tubes to remain normally of equal or
nearly equal height in ordinary changes
of the weather, but in case Of sudden
atmospheric changes the small opening
in the connection between the tubes re-
stricts the movement in the secondary
tube as compared with that in the main
tube. Such variation in the movement
of the mercury in the two tubes, when
sufficient to indicate an approaching
storm, is made to give an alarm by
means of floats in the tubes connected
with wires in an electli c circuit, there
being on one wire fork and on the
other tongue, by which contacts are.
made, to ring an alarm when the points
meet. Ordinary storms have no effect
whatever on the apparatus.

THE FARM.

Young pigs, just weaned, should neser
be put into lot with older ones until
they have learned to hustle" for them
selves.
Short whifhetrees one foot long are

Denmark's foreign egg trade has
grown TO tremendous size, mainly with
England. Twenty years ago the annual
Danish export of eggs was 600, 900; now

The CITY Street.

Here there's neither friend nor foe:
Everything is touch and go.
Step your quickest. look your best,
Hide the feelings In your breast,
Lift your feet and move right on
In this mighty Babylon.
Halt not, hesitate nor stay
Or you're In another's way.
Check your doubts, repress your fears;
Here's no place for grief or tears.
All the world was made for man
Get cinch on all you can.
Gain and profit seek and find;
Leave all other things behind.
Press right forward. always bold,
Fill your Golfers full of gold.
Here success is nothing more
Than to drive coach and four,
Whirl along In silk and lace,
Flaunt your wealth In every face.
Grasp the dollars, hold them tight;
Tug and sweat with all your might.
For this only have care,
And you'll be millionaire.
When you've raked in all in sight,
Go to setting wrong things right;
Found school with your estate
And forever be called great.

} Recent Experiments Have Produced
Some Interesting Results.
An elaborate series of experiments
have been made by experts chosen by
the Smithsonian institution, Drs S.
Weir Mitchell, j. S. Billings and d. H.
Bergey. They first wished to determine
whether there are any microbes in ex-
hailed breath. They had a man breathe
thrdegh steriL.ed geiatine for 30 min
utes. 1t was then corked. If his
breath had contained microbe organ
isms they would have adhered to and
bred upon the gelatine. Microscopic
examination proved that il remained
barren.
Then came trials showing how much
ammonia was contained in the breath
In the cases of healthy subject and
of a consumrtive, man suffering from
tracheal fistula. the quantity OF am
monia was small and of about equal
quantity. Persons with decaying teeth
had much nose ammonia than those
whose teeth were in good condition.

Prnrress I'm seismoIogS.

Seismology is new 50 far developed
that seismologists are able not only to
study earthquakes which no one feels,
but have begun to investigate their re-
lations, of which there are many. with
most promising results as far as geology
is concerned. There are thousands of
earthquakes or earth tremors every
year, and half of them come from deep
water. The ocean is really the home of
earthquakes. Twenty years ago their
study was commenced in Japan, with
the result that the seismoloSy of that
country has revolutionized the seismol-
ogy of the whole world. AS a conse-
uuence the methods of building in
Japan have entirely altered, so that
houses erected on new principles stand,
while their neighbors' are shattered.

Parrot Diseases.

Psittacosis, the peculiar form of bron..
chial pneumonia communicated by par
rots, has broken out in Genoa, Il cases,
eight of them fatal, being traced to a
single Importation of two sick Bra
lillian parrots. The health board has
warned the citizens against harboring
parrots as pets. At Berlin the veter-
mary school has found that out of ia
sick parrots 81 were suffering from
tuberculosis. The disease is hereditary
in the birds, and is intensified by the
close confinement and discomfort of the
voyage to Europe.
