Rfley,s Neat COpy,

James Whitcomb Riley wrote long
poem for a New York newspaper. 1t
was ordered in advance and was to be
sent in upon certain day. NOW, most
writers. especially poets, are dilatory.
But the Hoosier bard is an exception
to the rule, His poem arrived the day
it was promised. 1t came By express
in formidable parcel. First were the
outer wrappings of heavy brown pa
per, then some soft packing stuff, and
beneath that the board covers within
which was the manuscript, tied to-
gether with small ribbon, and SO neat
that the editor was almost afraid to
turn the leaves.-Philadelphia Evening

Love.

True Love is but humble, low-borr Thing.
And hath its food served up in earthen ware;
Ii is thing 10 walk with. hand in hand,
Through the eyeiy -dayness OF this workdsy world,
Barring its tender ieet To ever, roughess,
Yet letting not one heartbeat go astray
From Beauty's Jaw OF piainness and content;
simple, freside thing. whose quiet smile
eau warm earth's poorest hovel to home;
Which, when autumn cometh. it must,
And life in the chill wind siivers bare and leaf
less,
Shall still be blest with lndian-summer youth
In bleak November. and. with thankful heart,
Smile on its ample stores Of garnered fruit,
As full of sunshine TO our aged eyes
A. when it nursed the blossoms Of our spring.

The Old Armchair.

I love it. love it! and who shall dare
To chide for loving that old armchair
have treasured it long sainted prize.
Eve bedewed it with tears, I've embalmed it with
sighs
'Tis bound hy thousand bands TO nv heart;
Not tie will break. not link will start;
Would You know the spells mother sat there!
And sacred thing is that old armchair.
In cldhood's hour fingered
The hallowed scat with listening ear;
And gentle words that mother would give
To 1t to die and teach ME to live.
She told ne that shame would never betide.
With Truth for nv creed. and God for my guide;
She taught me 10 lisp my earliest prayer,
As ! knelt beside that old arm chair.
sat, and watched her many day,
When her eye grew dim, and her locks gray;
And almost worshiped her when sie smiled,
And turned from her Bible 10 bless her child.
Years rolled on, but the last sped
NJ idol was shattered, my earth-staF fed.
And learned how much the heart can bear,
When saw ier die in her old armchair.
'Tis past, It's past. but gaze it now.
Twas there she nursed me, twas there she died,
And memory flows with lava tide.
Say it is folly, and deem weak.
Whilst scslding drops start down my check;
But love it, love it, and cannot tear
Nv soul from mothers old armchair.

To feel that dewy touch Of thine
To drink thy freshness once again,

The cattle pant beneath the tree.
Though parching air and purple skies
The earth looks up, in vain, for thee;
For thee, for thee, it looks in vain.

Come thou, and brim the meadow streams.

''To tho Democrats Of Delaware:

e lLecrRc TERMS


they Are Simple EAeugh oass Yss
Get the Hang Of Then.
A consulting electrical engineer who
was asked to put one Of the less common
electrical terms In plain Language said:
II am frequently resorted to for Just such
explanations, and nothing surprises me
more than tho haziness which still exists
In the minds Of even Intelligent folks IN
regard to the simplest electrical terms. To
most people tho electrical units are still
mere Greek, and comparatively few 60 to
the trouble to take hold Of the more COM
mon of them, such as volt, 'ampere,
resistance electro motive force, etc.,
and flx their meaning once for all In the
mind. A man who knows me only by
reputation wrote TO me tho other day that
he had done this with much satisfaction
to himself, as he has now far more in
telligent idea Of electrical doings than he
had before. But still. he said, from time
to time some electrical words creep into
the daily press which convey nothing to
him. Ho mentioned rs one Of these the
term watt hour
snow, this Is quite simple. The watt
IL the unit Of electric power. 1t means
the power developed when 44.2b foot
pounds of work are done per minute, or
1875 foot pounds per second. A foot pound
is tho amount Of work required to raise
one pound vertically through distance OF
one foot. When this Ia figured down 50 a.
to be defined In horsepower, which is I'M
derstood by every ono, 1t can offer no difh-
Guilty, and II any one to whom the word
watt 10 puzzling will remember that q
watt IL the one-seven hundred and forty
sixth of q horsepower he will have no more
uncertainty about 1t. Having get 10 far,
1t is an easy graduation to the watt hour
which Is the term employed to indicate
the expenditure Of an electrical power OF
one watt for an hour. In other words, the
energy represented by watt hour Is equal
to that expended in raising q pound to .
height Of 1854 feet. An even easier way
of fixing 1t ID to remember that two watt
hours correspond almost exactly to raising
q pound to height of one mile.
"The understanding Of such terms
opens out some very curious facts to the
uninitiated. For instance, q certain dry
battery, Weighing 8. SO pounds, was known
to yield 1870 watt hours II this force were
applied to raising the battery itself, IL
would lift it to . height Of over ten miles.
Again, in one hour the energy translate
ed In an ordinary 16 candle power lamp
weighing about an ounce would raise that
lamp to height Of 400 miles ut velocity
Of nearly seven miles per minute. Yes,
1t pays man to expend little pains on
mastering the ordinary electrical terms. "

Washington, April 6.-The two prin-
cipal witnesses before the beef inquiry
court yesterday were Professor Russell
H. Chittenden, Of Ysle college, and DIR.
Samuel A. Currie, who was lieutenant
colonel of the Second New Jersey regi-
nent, which was stationed ut Jackson
vile during the war. Professor, Chit
tenden is one of the chemists selected by
the government to analyze the canned
roast beef. He presented his report,
showing that the beef generally was
good. No chemicals had been found by
him in its preparation. and it was gen
orally wholesome. lie. however, ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the heat
Of q tropical climate would not cause
the fat in the cans to liquify, and thus
render the foo2 displeasing to the sight.
Colonel Davis stated that most OF the
cans from which tie samples were taken
for analysis had been exposed to the
heat Of tropical countries, some OF the
cans being brought from Havana for the
purpose of the test.
DR.. Currie testified that the refriger-
ator beef supplied at Jacksonville had on
some occasions made the men sick. He
had made chemical analysis OF the beef,
which in one case showed the presence
of salicylic acid and in another Of boracie
acid.
Major Lee presented more OF the cor
respondence between General Miles md
the court, and put in request on be-
half Of the general that nine of the 100
witnesses whose names he had hereto.
fore suggested be called. saying that
they would testify concerning retriger-
ator beef and chemically treated beef.
The court did not indicate whether the
request would be complied with.
