The room wherein she SAT Is still,
Her chair - yacant-work laid down.
She, whom I've lovet since childhood days
Loved cen her censure a. her praise
Death touched with icy chill.
No more her smile win rest on me,
Nor loving words my heart give cheer;
No more her eounsels wise III hear,
Save but in memory.
Her trust In God aliayed all fears;
In life Of sacrifice, she led;
HIS word she priced IS .iaily bread"
Through i've and eighty years.
She meekiy every burden bore;
Her tender heart. so kind and true,
Sweet sympathy for others knew;
Apt words, her richest store.
She ofsen yearned for friends Of old
Among New England hills 90 dear,
And for her sons. not seen In years;
This was her cross untold.
She heard with JOY the midnight call;
So weary and 80 feeble Crowd
She ionged for God 10 take her home
To Christ. her "ail In all"
know her faithful heart did hear
Her Sayfcur's blessed words, "Well DONE"
With loved long gone. che now sits down
By living waters clear.
l would not call her back to pain.
But for faith like hers would pray,
That we, In Gods eternal day.
May nees and love again.

HAILSTORMS AVERTED.
An Austrian's Vineyards Protected by
"a Series of Explosions.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Possibly it was
from noticing the unsuccessful attempts
made by the would-be rain makers in the
United States to bring down showers when
wanted that an ingenious Austrian grape
grower was induced to excatly reverse the
American practice. An account of his eX-
pertinent is given by United States Consul
Stephen at Annaberg in a report to the
State Department. The Austrian owned
extensive vineyards situated on the south
ern slopes of the mountains in a locality
often visited by destructive hailstorms. AT
first he tried galvanized wire netting, but
this was too expensive and he decided to
install a battery and test the plan of caus-
ing explosions to drive off the hailstorms.
He erected six stations on prominent noun
tain summits commanding a territory
about two miles in extent. Each station
sheltered ten mortars and a corps of Volun-
teers handled them. The practical test is
thus described: Threatening black clouds
made their appearance on the SUBMITS OF
all the mortars' were fired1off and the con-
tinuOus detonations in a few moments
caused a sudden reaction in the movements
of the clouds. The cloud wall opened up
funnel-like: the mouth of the funnel began
to rise in the form of consecutive rings eX-
panding gradually until all the clouds scat
tered and entirely disappeared. No hail nor
even a sudden doWnpour of rain fell. The
same experience was gone through six
gle exception, proven a successful prevent
i've
