The Bsrber-Shop Fly.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
There's pesky little creature.
And Just now it's quite feature
In place where bristling mortals often stop,
Every minute changing lodging,
Every minute wild slaps dodging-
It's the fly that loats around the barber shop.
Yes, there's trouble every minute,
And the fly is strictly in It,
When you get so nicely seated for shave:
For the insect, gay and frisky,
win do anything that's risky
Just to make you vince and twitch and squirm
and rave.
While the BARRIERS busy stropping,
Round your head that fly is hopping,
Next your ear 1t kentIy tickles with its toes;
But of course you do not like 1t,
And you raise a hand to strike 1t,
Then the fly is calmly squatting on your nose
Just minute, fierce and scrappy,
And again you feel quite happy
Till II finds that polished bald spot on your head
Then you simply get ferocious,
Fit for anything atroclous,
And you feel inclined to raise particular NED.
Then the barber, in a furry,
Tries to make the insect scurry,
But upon your chin he lets the razor drop;
You'll ignore his explanation,
And, in fiery Indignation,
Make VOW you'll never again go to that shop
But will 60 to A. II Austin's shop, Stafford.

Preparing For Their Return.

They were blasting rocks near a
river and dynamite had been placed
in different localities.
The family of colored fisherman
were curiously inspecting the work,
though they had been warned away
on numerous occasions.
One day the old woman, pipe in
mouth, was standing with her two
children near a barrel of dynamite,
when suddenly there was a terrific
explosion and the family went up
with it.
The head of the family witnessed
the tragedy from distance The
next morning he approached the
mayor Of the town and said:

Soldering Aluminium

A. 7. Stanton tells in Nature of
his process of soldering aluminium
IF cadmium .iodide be fused on an
aluminium plate, decomposition of
the salt occurs long before the melt
ing point of the aluminium is reach
ed. The result is generally the VIC
lent evolution of iodine vapor. and
the formation of an alloy of cad.
MUM and aluminium on the surface
of the metal. The addition to the
cadmium iodide of the two chlorides
of zinc and ammonium, previously
fused together, results in a fux.
which readily enables tin Cor other
soldering alloy to unite perfectly
with aluminium.

DANCED IN THE FIRE,
How an Indian Entertained and Aston.
tshed Some Frontiersmen

How an Indian Entertained and Astor,.
ished Some Frontiersmen.
80 much has been written of late
years about the various dances of
different Indian tribes that it recalls
curious incident relative to this
custom. Some time in the fall of
1864 party of miners from a small
town in Nevada started northward
to establish themselves in some
newly discovered mines in southern
Idaho. Owing to the general inse-
curity of the times, we travelled aft
er the usual immigrant fashion.
hating wherever nightfall overlook
US. In the course of our journey
we encamped one night on Queens
river, near the boundary line of Ne
vada and Idaho, then the domain of
the Piutes. AT that time they were
generally regarded as half friendly
tribe, and the occasional traveller
through their territory had little to
fear.
The weather had grown bitterly
GOLD, and on this particular evening
we had built a rousing fire, the rud-
dy blaze of which streamed through
the dusk of evening, lighting up
that naked region until our situa-
ton was visible from every point.
Evidently the flame of our en-
campment drew attention, as soon
after dark three Piutes appeared in
camp. The chief, leaving his fol
lowers in the background, drew near
our fire and offered us the usual sal
utation of Heap hungry He
was given cold biscuits, after which
he proceeded to make himself COM
Portable.
AS he stood warming himself we
were struck by his fine proportions.
His powerful frame and majestic
stature would have rendered him a
striking object anywhere, and by
the Pickering light of the campfire
he appeared colossal. His attire
was savagely primitive. Saving the
customary clout and a blanket of
fur skins on his shoulders, he was
destitute of clothing.
Shortly before turning in for the
night some of the boys began beg
ging him to give US the war dance,
and after some time, tired perhaps
of their opportunities or seeming
possible grub, he thought better to
yield.
Without giving sign of his in
tentions, to our establishment he
leaped into the blazing bed of Goals
and, casting his blanket from him,
began dancing in the most vigorous
manner, whirling, leaping, bound
ing high in air, again circling with
dizzy speed, flinging his arms wildly
about him and all the while uttering
a succession of such whoops and
yells that fairly rang in our ears for
hours. The live Goals hoped and
few, but he kept it up, never quit
ting his hot bed for fully three min
utes; then, ceasing, he resumed his
stolid demeanor and his blanket and
for the remainder of the night re-
posed by the fire. 1t was startling
feat, entirely out of the ordinary by
way of exhibition, but just what
manner of dance it was, whether
war dance, fire dance, ghost dance
or whether it had any significance
in savage life, l have never been
able to determine-San Francisco
Chronicle.

In MemorIam.

At O'Clock on the morning of July 10,
1898, Mrs. l. s. Crawford left earth for the
home Of her longing.
She was born in the Valley of Virginia
March 20, 1889, and In childhood became a
member of the Presbyterian church, where
has now gone home to receive her ''crown
of life.'
Rev. DR.. A. Z. Hopkins her pastor. was
often near her in those last days of suffering
and would hear her murmuring Jesus.
Jesus"
At the shadows darkened, her sister, Mrs.
Bazzel, Of Washington, d. g., asked If
she whispered. She then began to read
David's words, when Mrs. Crawford breath
ed keep me as the apple of thine eye, hide
me under the shadow of thy WINGS" and as
the morning miSts assembled from the river
she heard her Savior calling and passed out
up to where paralytic pains cannot come.
She has left the oaks. she elms and the
willows of Shannondale for the tree of life,
and hears not the sounding of the Shenan-
doah; but, with rapture, the murmurs Of
that river that flows by the throne of God.
We lay her down in the valley to sleep
near old Mt. HOreb church, when she
taught the children long ago of Heaven.
Her life was one of devotion and love.
She leaves at ShannOndale a broken hearted
husband, and from her resting place many
turned hOmeward with DOsoms of sorrow,
yet confident that she has only entered 10th
er realms of love-"
Dust to the dust but the pure spirit shall
flow.
Back to the burning fountain whence it
came,
A portion of the eternal. which must glow
Through time and change unquenchably
