AN ELEcTRosTATIc PAIR

He was the gallant engineer
OF the giant dynamo;
She sang to the wires the whole day lonl
With a chorus Of "Hello?'
He loved this telephone maid
Till his hearts vibrating plate
Was magnetized and polarized
At millamperic rate.
His love he well expressed in aims,
And amperes, or even in volts;
In voltaic phrases and dynamo figures,
Or currents, arc lights and bolts
Said he: by the great broken circuit,
or more, by the Ruhmkorf coil.
Your negative answers will drive me
To some subway under the soil.
Not a spark Of inductive affection,
Not a positive Yes have / had;
I m afraid the wires have grounded
In favor of some other lad"
Then regret, like a galvanometer,
Or an astatie needle, it smote her,
And she said. 'Of love I have ions
As strong as an Edison motor"
So he oened the circuit and clasped her
In arms-ature, and held her there:
And she was the belle electric
of this thermo-electric pair.

Thread Biting Habit.

1t is true:
That women who do much sewing
frequently suffer great deal from
soreness of the mouth, and are at a
loss to ascertain the cause Of the
trouble.
That half the time it is simply the
result of biting Off the thread instead
Of using pair Of scissors for cutting
1t.
That in the case of silk thread the
danger is quite marked, because il is
usual to put the thread In acetate OF
lead, partly to harden it, and also,
perhaps, to increase its weight some
what.
That If thread-biting is follow rec
regularly, and very much silk thread
is used, the results may be quite
serious and lead to blood-poisoning.- =

Through the efforts of Z. Z. Carpen-
ter, who has been employed by Lyon
county to work to that end, the assess
ment Of railways in northwestern Iowa
has been raised so that the railways of
that state now pay much heavier taxes
than formerly, but the rate is still too
low. Last week the rates on freight
were materially reduced. Perhaps 1t
would be good thing for our board
to secure his services, for he seems to
be very successful in Iowa In securing
a more equitable rate of assessment Of
railways. We give below table Of the
taxes paid by the railways per mile in

White Fittings For Summer Bedrooms.

For general boudior and bedroom
use, pure white hangings or simple
organdie in alternate atripes Of
white and color are best and most re-
liable. The white harmonizes with
all colors and all schemes, and is to be
found in all grades and for all prices
To get the best results the pole from
which the longer pair hangs must be
extremely light in weight, and the
sash curtains should never lap more
than the width of the frill, which still

Opportunitiesfor Young Explorers.

Many people suppose the whole
world, except only the extreme Arctic
and Antarctic regions, to have been
explored and mapped already: but, In
fact, there is no lack OF unknown
lands to which our modern Nasamon-
ians can turn their attetion.
In Africa :. E. Wadai has only been
visited by three travellers, and al
though il would be very difficult to
penetrate into the territory itself,
useful exploring work might be done
in some Of the outlying districts, ap-
proachable from the upper Benue or
the Ubongi Wells.
The region between Lake Rudolf and
Abyssinia and the valley Of the Sobat,
tributary of the White Nile, are be-
lieved to be Of great interest, but are
entirely unknown.
Outside these three regions, there
Is fair knowledge of the general
geographical features of Africa, but
much detail remains to be filled in
and much Indifferent work requires to
be done over again. There are also
regions which have indeed been trav-
ersed, but which will well repay fur
ther detailed examination. So that
Africa still offers a wide and interest
ing field Of research to the young ex-
plorer.-Sir Clements Markham, in

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
FROM A CUBAN STANDPOINT.

The United states Fully Justhed in Re-
tanning the Philippines.
Ell Continente Americana, the organ
of the Cuban colony in the city OF
Mexico, defends the entrance of the
United States into the Philippines as
being based not only on conquest, but
on necessity, defending the immense
commercial interests Of the American
people in China and Japan aud de-
nouncing the hypocritical attitude Of
the European press saying that had
Spain gained the victory all Ameri-
cans would be the sport Of Europe, to
be divided among the great powers.
1t declares the United States entered
the war with Spain inspired by the
highest motives Of humanity to bring
to an end an intolerable condition of
affairs and as a result of the brilliant
incident of that war Manila fell into
American hands. The paper predicts
that when the Americans have placed
their flag all over the Philippines the
unhappy people of those islands will
enjoy an era of prosperity, the labor
ing people having fair wages and the
land owners securing just return for
their endeavors and capital employed.
The more popular papers here, not
organs Of the clerical party, show
their hatred for Spain and sympathize
with the Cubans in their hope for ul-
innate independence.
