Throwing the wild flowers from the gra-
The sweet Wild flowers, that hold their
quiet talk
Upon the uncultured green.
And now ,perchance, a bird,
Hiding amid the trained and scattered
trees,
Sent forth his carol on the scentless
But they were few I heard.
Did my hearts pulses beat?
And did mine eyes o'erflow with sudden
tears,
Such as gush up mid memories of years,
When humber graves we meet?
An humber grave I met.
On the Potomac's leafy banks, when
May,
| Weaving spring flowers, stood out in col
ors gay
With her young coronet;
A lonely, nameless grave,
Stretching its length beneath tn Ger
arching trees.
Which told a plaintive story, as the
breeze
Came their new buds to wave.
But the lone turf was green
AS that which gathers DER more hon.
ored forms;
Nor with more harshness had the win
try storms
Swept Ger that woodland scene.
The flower and springing blade
Looked upward with their young and
shining eyes
And met the sunlight of the happy skies,
And that low turf arrayed.
And unchecked birds sang out
The chorus of their springtime jubilee
And gentle happiness 1T was to me,
To list their music-shout.
And to that stranger-grave
The tribute of enkindling thoughts-the
free
And unbought power of natural SYM
pathy
Passing, sadly gave.
And a religious spell
On that lone mound, by man deserted,
rose
A conscious presence from on high, which
glow
Not where the worldly dwell.

Business VS.. Sentiment.


The cause of labor has suffered much
because labor has often taken the
wrong way to get the right thing.
Employers have been told that it was
their duty" on a moral" basis, to
increase pay, shorten hours, or what
not, and they have retorted, and with
propriety, that the labor man putting
up such claim wasn't the keeper Of
their conscience, and that hours.
wages, etc., were after all not so much
determined by considerations Of what
should be done, but rather by laws Of
business, which laws the employer can
no more ignore than he can the law Of
gravity.
That labor can apply the laws of
business with better assurance Of sue
cess than if it relies on sentiment, is
strongly brought out by the action of a

Ingenuity of the Tahitaun.

They seem, in fact. to command at all
times the principal conveniences of

Half an hour of daylight is sufficient
for building house of the stems and
leaves of the fehi-5anana, and fire is
produced by rubbing sticks.
If the running water is deeply sunk
among stones by working in banana
leaves they bring it 10 the surface.
The chase of ee:s, which in those
dripping mountains become almost am
phibious, offers another instance of
their ingenuity.

Alcohol I'm Sticks.

new invention of great importance
has just been patented by German
chemist, Julius Norden of Aldenhoyep
Germany. He has succeeded in hard

mass. This will insure very much
greater popularity for the employment
of alcohol. 1t now comes in small
cylindrical pieces, packed in patent 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 minute.

Japanese Are Ruthless.

The japanese are ruthless in their
tampering with nature. If they decide
that they want bird or an animal OF
a certain shape or color they set about
manufacturing the article, so to speak,
by the exercise of exceedingly clever
ingenuity and untiring patience. Here,
for example, is how the white sparrows
are produced. They select a pair of
grayish birds and keep them in a white
cage in a white room, where they are
attended by a person dressed in white.
The mental effect on a series of gener-
ations of birds results in completely
white birds.

BEARS SLY AS FOXES.
Ihsy Throw Lumps "f Ice at walruses tn
stua aud Capture Them.


In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small bows
anxious to treat him to buns and other
dainties. The consequence is that
Bruin has to devise many curious ways
OF securing his food, and none are more
strange and interesting than that re-
lated by two trustworthy travellers in
Greenland, that country of strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear to
take stone or a huge lump of ice in
his fore paws and from a favorable
height, as cliff or a precipitous ice
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
head Of walrus-an enormous brute,
often twice the size of the bear-and so
stun him that Bruin could rush in and
| complete the destruction at his leisure,
thus securing months rations.
The most useful food of the ice bear,
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari-
est animal of the north. and both Es-
klmo and polar bear need their best
strategy to catch it,
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore and
islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the
water below, and into which they can
throw themselves by the least move
ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks
up as near as he deems safe, and then
begins crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scan
ming the vicinity for signs of the enc
my's approach. During these times
the bear is very quiet and as still as
death itself, with eyes apparently
closed, though really a corner of each
is kept open, and in this way he hopes
the seal will take him for heap of
snow, an appearance which his coat
readily helps him to assume.
During the maps he creeps forward |
with greater or less rapidity, according |
to his nearneSs to the seal and conse- |
quent fear of being seen or heard. |
When but ten or twelve yards away,
and the seal is in the depths of a good /
nap, the bear rushes upon him, and |
with single blow Of his powerful paw
knocks the smaller brute senseless and
so far away from the hole that he can
not escape by that way, even if the
blow received is nc: Immediately fatal.
In winter time the ice is covered
with snow, and this is followed out
by the seal into a snow house, cover
ing the hole in the ice and connecting
at the top of the dome with an aperture
about the size of shilling, called the
blow hole, for it is through this that
The seal breathes when he is in want
Of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
ong hour. if necessary, and when the
'norts OF the seal are heard he crushcs
n the fragile dome of the snow house
With his paw, impdling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi-
ally demonstrate how polar bears can
'ubsist in an arctic winter.
