Alcohol i'm Sticks,
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
A new invention of great Importance has
just been patented by German chemist
Julius Norden of Aldenhoven, Germany.
He has succeeded in hardening alcohol un-
til it becomes a solid mass. This will in
sure a very much greater popularity for
the employment of alcohol. 1t now comes
in small cylindrical pieces, packed in pat
ent tin boxes, that can be used for cooking,
lighting. heating and the various uses of
everyday life.
The solidified alcohol burns without a
wick can be blown out after use and then
hardens again within a minute. The dam
ger of explosion is absolutely done away
with, and the neat little tin package. with
its stick of alcohol, is always ready for
use in the kitchen or bed room, on the toi-
let table or under the milk pot, on the
road or in the field, as night lamp or
going upstairs at night.

As though 1t dreamed Of death, or birth.
And waited patient and serene.
Coiffed in gold, the dying trees

OF summers fervent flush and glow:
And down the lane where asters nod,
The sumach and the golden rod
Are waving gently to and fro
The rabbits scurry in the morn,
And in the wigwams Of the corn
The tiny feld-mice are at play;
Natures mystery fills the air.

There's not 4 soul will ever know
