o Troubled Sea,

0 troubled sea, that longest evermore
From out thy cold and sunless depths to rise
To the bright orb that draws thee toward the
skies,
And beatest thy breast against the unyielding
shores
In the vain struggle to unloose the bands
That bind thee down to earth; in thy despair
With sullen roar, now leaping high in air.
Now moaning, sobbng on the insatiate sands:
Type of the soul thou art! she strives like thee:
BY time and circumstance and law bound down.
She beats against the shores of the Unknown;
Wrestles with unseen force, doubt mystery
And longs forever for the goal afar
That shines and still retreats like a receding
star

go the tempera ture. and the rockiness of
our clothes and equipment would be in

in our clothes. besides being inconvenient
and uncomfortable, greatly increased our
weights. To give an instance, my militia
(fur Jumper), which on leaving the hut
weighed a little under ten pounds, on our re-
turn scaled nearly thirty pounds. The rises
of temperature and consequent wet in the
tent caused our furs to rot and the stencil
made thereby was absolutely indescribable.

Innocence.

Blue as the azure of summer skies
And deep as the mystery that lies
Hidden beyond them, are baby's eyes,
And her smile-oh. the virgin sunbeam clear,
Ere it reaches earth's mst-hung atmosphere,
Holds but hint of its guileless cheer.
All. those tiny feet that have felt no thorn,
Those hands from which no toy has been torn,
And lips. all strangers to grief and scorn!
No other laugh but re-echoes pain;
No other hands but are clasped in vain:
No other heart but is rent in twain
And this is the prayer that mothers pray,
Night after night and day by day:
That God might but keep them thus Away

When Thou didst walk
With men and talk.
And be 1.-THE banner of Thy love- unfurled

Revive in us the joyous hope of youth;
Help us attain the heavenly height where truth
The soul unbars.

And haste the perfect day Isaiah saw
when earth shall be
With knowledge FULL" when all shall know Thy

And men rejoice
To heed its voice.

And wisdom, love and faith awake the soul
With energy divine to reach the goal

What Pompeii for my horses hoofs?

For yonder looms Vesuvius in the sky.

The Market Is Improving Somewhat
with Regard to Inqniries.
BOSTON. July 2O.-Tae American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow of the wool trade;
The market Is improving. not very
fast as regards prices, but with more or
less speed as regards the number Of. In
qulrles. The fact appears to be that
some Of the mills have sold a good deal
of yarn, perhaps at some reductions,
though at a good profit nevertheless.
and are becoming rather anxious to get
their hands on good lots of wool before
the raw material advances. There have
been very good sized transactions since
our last report. A feature in the mar
ket has been an increase In the number
Of sellers.
The demand for unwashed fleeces has
been unremitting and there has also
been quite a movement In the mediums
and unwashed fieeces. Prices are noni-
ndlly unchanged, but the feeling re-
garding them Is somewhat more encour-
aging than week ago.
The sales OF the week in Boston
amounted TO 1,6s0.OOO pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, making
total of 2,454, 500 aglnst total Of 1,5S6,0OO
for the previous week and total OF 81
94l 900 for, the corresponding week last
year. Sales since January l.lS9s. amount
to 6lllS.SlO pounds against 22,SS4.0OO
pounds last year at this time.

AKLoNprKp RAILROAD.

The railroad which is being built in
Alaska from SKaguay across White
Pass to Lake Bennett Is being built
through dense forest, where the ground
IL a mass of powders, covered with a
thick growth Of moss, while the trees
are ali festooned with long. halr-llRe
black moss hanging from the limbs.
Thousands OF men will be imported to
build this road, and from this time to
the closing In OF winter that locality will
be very lively with its many construc-
ton and grading camps with the active
work Of blasting and grading a track for
the Iron horse and his trains.
The road Is being built by an English
company, under n Canadian franchise apd
there appears to be ample money back
az the enterprise to guarantee lmme-
diate construction. The company has
purchased Moore's wharf ut Skaguay,
the only good one at that point, and this
places the company In excellent condl-
ton for receiving freight at this ter
minus, or rather initial pnintot the road.
II is intended TO have the railroad built

In there again. The difficult part Of the
road will he over White Pass, where
surveyors have been stalking out the
line for nearly two months past. BracS-
ett's wagon road was constructed over
mis- pass. and 1t has lately been pur-
chased by the railroad company to aid
them In the construction Of their road.

COUNTERFEIT NICKELS

Worked on Slot Machines May Bring the
secret Service OGieials 10 TOWn-Tho
NlcIksIs, Clever Imitation, Are Made
by Wheeling Young Mrp.
In the train of slot machines has fol-
lowed a flood of counterfeit nickels in
this city. and the United States secret
service officials may soon make It warm
for some people here, OF late several
saloon keepers have discovered upon
emptying the pockets of their slot ma
chimes that there we're nlckels good and
bad at their disposal. It has developed
since that the counterfeiting is the
work OF some young men employed at
one OF the local newspaper offices.
+ These nickels are made from stereo-
tipping metal, and some OF them are
very much like the real thing, excepting
that the edges are smooth. Not all are
stamped or embossed, many OF them
being entirely smooth, but Of the same
size as the regulation mic II.
The scheme worked like a charm for
awhile, but finally the eagle eye OF o
certain saloon man detected the fellows
who were defraudlng him, and at the
Mcclure saloon one night this week one
Of the proprIetors forclbly elected a
young man who was working the slot
machine with the counterfelts.
Another Market street saloon has
been vlctlmlzed, and the countertelters
are now barred admission. At this sa-
loon the nickels form a quaint collec-
ton, which will be OF assistance to the
secret service officials. II, as believed,
they decide to take hand In the game.
Had the racket been discontinued at
the machines the scheme might have
remained sub rosa for some time, but
other business men have been caught,
and an Italian fruit seller was stuck
with four bad nickels the other night
These are said to have originated from
the source, whence came those that
found a resting place in the seductive
pockets of the slot machines.
