LAMENT OF THE LAST LepReoHAuN.

For the rcd shoon OF the Shee.
For the falling o the leaf,
For the wind among the reeds,
My grief
For the sorrow Of the sea,
For the songs dnquickened seeds,
For the sleeping OF the Shee
My grief
For dishonorei whitethorn tree,
For tho runes that no man reads,
Where the gray stones face the sea,
My grief
Lissakeole, that use to be
Filled with music night and noon,
For their ancient revelry.
My grief!
For the empty fairy shoon,
Hollow rath and yellow leaf,
Hands unkissed to sun or moon,
My grief, my grief

Wired Glnss.

AS the result OF "A thorough investiga-
ton of the heat resisting qualities Of
wired glass instituted by the Philadel-
phia Fire Underwriters association the
latter has made report which must
be very serviceable to all interested in
this unique product The report declares
that such glass can be safely used in
skylights and in such situations will
stand a severe fire and not give way
when water is thrown on it. A wooden
framing for skylight, covered with tin,
all seams lock jointed and with nails
hidden, is superior in fire resisting quail
ity to iron framing. Wired glass i'll
wooden sash, covered with tin, all
seams lock jointed and nails concealed,
can safely be used for windows toward
an external exposure and in fire doors
to elevator shafts and stairway tow
ers, where it is necessary to light the
shafts; in Office buildings, hotels,
ETC., where it is undesirable to have
elevator shafts entirely inclosed and
dark, wired glass permanently built
into a brick or terra Gotta shaft, or
arranged in a metal covered wood
frame, can safely be used, and, again,
wired glass plates, securely fastened in
standard fire shutters, can safely be
used toward an external exposure-in
this case, the fact that possible fire in
building all the windows of which
are protected by fire shutters can much
more readily be detected from the out
side through the wired glass is impor-

How to Keep Lemons Fresh.

1t is not generally known that lemons
may be easily and almost indefinitely
preserved under glass. Some, one year,
were purchased on the Fourth of July,
and, by way Of experiment, each one
was put under an inverted goblet. Thus
kept from the air, they were finally re-
moved, ON Christmas day, in perfect
condition and as juicy as ever.
