THE LETTER.

Abby's object in following Mr.. Bing.
ham to Gem was to be first with the
story of the shooting on Tuesday night.
and to tell it in her own way. She
had found him in a very fit state to
accept her version Of the awkward facts.
That half of Mr.. Bingham's brain which
operated his being when he was emery
ing from the delirium of drink received
the distorted tale, and took a coarse,
sullen satisfaction in conceiving that
possibly it might be true. He pur-
posed to treat it as the truth, as Abby
had given it to him; it suited him in
several ways to do so. For one reason,
it helped him to a sort of apology for
himself, in his conscious betrayal of
his daughter. TO be able to construct a
countercharge against the girl herself.
He had been bored by her face of inno-
cence; now he could confront those
blue, astonished eyes with questions as
searching as their own.
The manager had returned to the
paine with his temper at skies and sew

SURVIVAL OF THE FuTEsr."


''Naught but the fittest lives" hear;
ITO Natures heart the strong are dear;
And yet. in undertones, Voice
Is heard that says: "Oh. child Of earth,
Your mipd's best work. your hearts best
Shall stand with God for what they're
woFth.".
IT'S not the strong alone survives:
Truth, beauty, virtue, scattered wide
In humble soil, bear noble lives,
Whose fruits forever must abide.
Times buildings are not all of stone.
With frailest fibers Nature spins
Her living webs from zone to zone,
And what Is lost she daily wins.
1 fain would think, amid the strife
Between realities and forms,
Slight gifts may claim perennial life
Mid slow decay and sudden storms.
This tuft OF silver hairs loose
From open windows to the breeze;
Some bird of spring perchance may use
To build her nest In yonder trees.
These pictures, painted with an art
Surpassed by younger sight and skill,
May pass into some friendly heart,
Some room with Natures smiles may fill.
These leaves Of light and earnest rhyme
Dropped on the windy world, though long
Neglected now, some future time
May weave into its nest of song.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Flour nodded into bricks by hydraulics
pressure is reduced two-thirds in bulk
and rendered proof against damp.
There is method of destroying the
life of trees by boring hole into the
trunk in a downward direction and NIL
ing with sulphuric acid.
The average yield from potato-patch
farming in Philadelphia this year was.
$40 an acre. For each dollar expended
from $3.50 to IS worth of produce was
realized.
1t has been found that the moss of
the tamarack swamps in Minnesota Is
as good as that of the south for up
holsterers' use. and there is promise OF
an extensive industrial development in
the preparation Of the new commodity.
Returns to the geological survey
show that the total production OF lead
in the United States from all sources
in the last six months of 1898 was 1885,
113 net tons, compared with 2s9 .69S tons
in the year 1897. and 264,994 tons In
1896.
Contrary to widespread belief that
hard woods give more heat in burning
than soft varieties, it has been shown
that the greatest power is possessed by
the wood of the linden tree. which is
very soft. Fir stands next to linden and
almost equal to it.
Prof. Lindley estimates that single
frond of the harris tongue, Scolopen-'
drum, which is a small fern, will pro-
duce 100000 spores or seeds. IF all
should grow they. would in few years
cover the whole continent. MANY OF
our native ferns produce seeds in great
er abundance than the harris tongue.
The felt mills at Dolgeville, N. Y,
which became famous on account of
Alfred Dolge's social experiments. and
which closed at his failure some months
ago, have reopened under new man
agement. The profit-sharing schemes,
the model housing" and the short
hour experiments of Mr.. Dodge have all
been abandoned.

when suddenly he caught sight of an
American officer. who was badly
wounded apd yet struggling pitifully
along as best he could in the hope Of
getting help before it was too late. The
big negro looked down at him q mo-
ment over his bandages. and then sud-
denly stopped. picked the wounded
white man up in his arms and carried
him tenderly every step of the way back
to Siboney, distance of 12 miles, where
the hospital tents and the doctors were.
The man was hero if ever there was
one, and he must have been a perfect
Hercules. too. for it takes big amount
of muscle for one man who is wounded
to carry another for IL miles over rough
ground. no matter how small the other
man may be.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
