AN INVOCATION.

/
Come on, glad millennium OF times serene
and bright,
And melt to gold the manifold and twinj<linp
stars Of night
Let every storm rain riches and every lily's
stem
Be bent with glittering dewdrops and every
drop gem.
Come on, glad millennium of times unknown
before,
When the sea shall spray its plenty of pearls
along the shore;
When darkest night is kissed to light, and in
the morning CLEANS
We front smiling future and realize our
dreamsl
Come on, 0 glad millennium, and kiss to bloom
the dells,
And shake the sweetest music from the tin
Cling, jingling bellsl
Let every storm rain riches and every star o.
night
Roll down its golden treasure from happy hills
Of light
Come on, o glad millennium The weary world
awaits
with many rosy garland OF welcome ON her
gates
Make diamonds of the daisies, while every
lilys stem
% bent with glittering dewdrops and every
drop gem.

Laziness is bad disease and, like
many other kinds, is often self i'm
posed. In the case of many indi-
viduals it is an inherited malady.
and consequently hard to oust from
the system, but it is often the case
that the disgusting temper is
brought on persons by their own
deliberate selfishness, by a vastly
discreditable disposition to shirk the
inevitable burdens incident to living
a decent life. Laziness of this kind
is one of the cardinal sins and
should submit the obnoxious offend
er to the discipline of treadmill.
More particularly is laziness often
sive to the young and healthy. To
learn to work and work cheerfully
is the central lesson of life. Begin
to learn it early, eschew laziness as
the most disgusting of all faults and
one that will surely end in hopeless
for, depend upon it, none
can beso insensible through laziness
as to be in the end incapable of suf-
fering. Nature is, in the event of
nonpayment of her demands, stern
and meroiless creditor. New Or
leans mes-Democrat.

Color Photography.

One of the most ;nterost;,u
periments in photography is the
Photographic reproduction Of .
seen leaf In its natural colors. To
ao 'h's take copper plate such as
40 useo ior process work and have
II silvered. Put it face up in a de.
veioping or toning tray and on II
pace the green leaf of which conv
is desired. To hold the leaf in nos;-
,ion lay over it piece of glass. A
spoiled negative not larger than 4
oy . inches, unless the leaf is unite
large, Ia may be used for this purnose
Iurn over the plate a solution Of
nydrlodate of potash containing a
1ew grains of iodide to each ounce
OF solution. Cover the plate com
pieteiy' SO that it is at least half an
lnch beneath the surface of the
'lquid. Set the tray in the bright
and leave it exposed for
about half an hour, when, ON re-
moving from the tray, a most beau
'iful Photographic impression of the
green leaf will be found on the
Round Table.

CASTING OFF A LINE.
Ell. Giimby Meets With a Little Exne-
rience on New York Wharf.

rience on New York Wharf.
I'm afraid there's one towboat
captain who would not give me a
Job If | should apply said Mr..
Blimby, "and that is the man whose
line ! cast off in South street the
other day. The tug was lying along
the end of the wharf, hanging by a
single line, with the loop around the
head of spile, and the other end
made fast around the forward bits
aboard the boat The captain was
IN the pilothouse, and he called to
the deckhand that he guessed they
would 90 up to pier 919. / was
standing on the end of the wharf.
and when the deckhand began cast
ing the line off from the bits |
started for the spile TO cast it off
there.
II like boats, and I've loafed
along South street a good deal, and
I've seen million men cast off
lines, but it's funny thing | had
never cast off one myself, but / was
going to now. All the, men / ever
saw cast off line just took hold of
1t and lifted it right off, easy. |
took hold of this one with perfect
confidence, but the first thing |
knew it sagged down and stuck on
the other side of the spile, and it
did the same thing again when /
tried, which ] did somewhat hastily
from another point. 1t didn't come
off easily at all, and finally ! had to
take hold of it with both hands and
lift it up carefully clear of the spile,
while the captain, looking out OF
the pilothouse window, and the
deckhand, standing by the bits and
looking up at me from the deck,
smiled good humoredly at my clum-
siness. By that time | had discov-
sred that in casting off a line, as in ,
most other things, a man must learn
low TO do it before he can do the ,
work well. But the worst was yet
o come.
Il had always observed that when
/ man cast off line he hung on to i.
I for a moment and walked along
he wharf till he was somewhere :.
lear abreast of the man who was
aking it in aboard and then gave it :
little toss, SO as to keep it out of !
he water, keeping it dry to make it
asst longer and make it easier and
leasanter to handle. When / had Q
nally got this line off, I held on to Q
and walked with it toward the q
oat to toss the loop aboard, but <
oticed that the man on deck took K
p the slack very promptly and full
Z as came along. He didn't give
10 credit for knowing anything y
bout keeping the line out Of the q
ate1. He was prepared to zee me 2.
lst simply drop it when ! struck y
10 stringpiece, and he was taking n
. the slack short SO that he could
sep it out of the water himself

A PRIMITIVE COPPER SHELTER.

DAILY. Now that their interests are in
the gigantic copper combination, it is
probable that the rivalry in securing
claims will doubtless be less spirited.
What the effect Of the combination
will be on the mining interests in this
new copper district cannot, Of course,
be definitely foretold; but. with present
and prospective demands for this metal
there does not seem to be any danger of
a curtaiing of mining developments or
any lessening of the efforts of the pros
pectors to find new fields or extend the
bounds of old ones.
The purpose Of the great Copper trust,
which was organized a few days ago in
the east and known as the Amalgamat
ed company, is avowedly to control the
price and outp,t Of the copper of the
world. Nearly all Of the big producers
are in it, and most of the valuable
mines not heretofore controlled by them
have been or are being gobbled mp. 1t
is said that the 5000, 600, 600 steel trust
win be but pygmy in comparison with
the copper combine when the latter gets
fairly in motion. Behind it are tho
Rockefellers and all the Standard oil
company capitalists; j, Pierpont Nor
gan and other New York millionaires;
the Boston copper magnates, half doz-

of one hand the millions they have
made in copper, besides Clarke and DAILY

operators,
Once before an attempt was made to
control the copper output of the world
and it ended in disaster that shook all
Europe, 1t was only ten years ago that
the Societe des Metaux of Paris exploit
ed its gigantic scheme for doubling the
price Of copper. The price was doubled,
but only for a time, Then the crash
came, and almost every one connected
with it was overwhelmed What will
be the outcone Of the present effort to
control copper remains to he seen. With
our little copper belt out here under the
shadow Of the Cascades we will watch
the great game with interest.

bred mnch discomfort in the people of
that country, and many of them are
said to be willing to cast their lot with
their near kinsmen. the Swedes and the
Norwcgians in this country. That they
would prove valuable acquisition is
indubitable. They possess the same

of government, education, etc These
rights the Russian government has now
