Song. of Two.

Beloved, when read some fine conceit
Wherein are wrought as in glass
The features love hath made SO sweet,
marvel at so bold art,
SceeirG thou art too dear to praise
Upon the highway where men pass
For when seek
To tell the ways
Gods hand of tenderness
Hath touched thine earthly past,
Again hIar
Thy own first cry Of happiness,
And sweetest of Gods sounds the dear
Rcmonstrance of thy giving heart
And cannot speak!
Last night dreamed this dream: That l was
dead;
And as / slept forgot OF man and God,
That other drcamless sleep OF rest,
! heard footstep the sod,
As OF one passing overhead
And 10, thou Dear, didst touch me on the breast,
Saying: "what shall write against thy name.
That men should sse?'
Then quick the answer came,
81 was beloved OF thee

Song.

"Weary wind of the West
Over the billowy sea-
Come to my heart, and rest.
All, rest with me,
Come from the distance dim
Bearing the SUMS last sigh;
] hear the sobbing for him
Through all the sky
So the wind came.
Purpling the middle sea.
Crisping the ripples OF fame
Came unto me;
Came with rush to the shore,
Came with bound to the hill,
Fell. and died at my ieet--
Then all was still.

In Switzerland.

In Switzerland the mountains stand,
Like sentinels to guard the land,
The sun doth WELD magic wand,
In Switzerland.
The lakes are gold and amethyst.
Where sky, and light. and cloud have kissed,
And up the crag, and down the dell,
On snowy height, or summer mead.
The wind doth ever whisper TELL"
The waters murmur .Winkeeried,'
In Switzerland.

Do the lowest sorts of animal life have ears?
cox.
No. they do not have any specialized or
gans of sensation. But more or less rudi-
mentary ears are recognizable in most low
forms, and some creatures, like spiders,
that seem not to have organs Of hearing,
display a lively appreciation Of sounds.

To end argument will you state il chain
link possesses double the strength Of the bar iron
OF which it is made? TWO.
Good chain has about 165 per cent Of the
bars strength. More than 10 per cent
is not reasonable expectation. Some
strength is lost in heating and working.
and further loss is due to imperfection Of
weld.

viii you tell something of Avian Clark. the tel.
eseope maker? F. l. S.
He was bern in Ashfeld Mass. March
s. 1S0f, and spent his youth on farm.
He was over forty years old when. with
his son, he made a small telescope. His
interest in 1t led him to begin the man
ufacture Of astronomical instruments and
the study of astronomy that made him
famous. He died at Cambridge, Mass,
August 10, 1857.

Legislation isn't needed, because GUS
tom and precedent are more effective than
a law would be. Mexico has furnished an
illustration. Its constitution forbade a
President to succeed himself. but was
amended to permit President Diaz to con-
tinue in office.

home while in the service of the United states
Army? F. E W.
The right to vote Is State gift and
the laws concerning it differ in different
States. Six States expressly exclude the
United States soldier from the suffrage.
In most of the others he may vote at the
place from which he enlisted, as distin-
guished from the place at which he may
be serving, the Law holding that he neither
loses nor gains residence by his enlist
ment

few such bridges were built about forty
years ego but, though very stiff and
strong, their cost was ruinously high, and
the introduction Of the type is not looked
on as having been a step forward in
bridge construction. 2. AT Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1854, though included in it were
several educational institutions that al
ready had existed.
l. the adulteration of ale and beer common?
And what adulterants are used? ID. I. X.
Yes; to secure the desired color. which
should be due to the ripeness and color
of the hops employed, and to the degree
of heat to which the malt has teen sub
jected burnt sugar is added. Then the
favor is altered by putting in such Bit
tiers as NORWOOD, picric acid gentian,
and quassia. Alkalies. iron. and salt are
introduced to increase the amount of
froth. and sometimes cream OF tartar is
added to ale to counterfeit the hardness
of age. These are but u few OF many.
The brewers druggist is a special line in
the drug trade.
What method DO tanners use for removing hair
from hides. 2. Is Russia leather OF Russian
ufacture? 81 ID.
There are two processes; by one the
hides are hung in 4 moist and very warm
closed room until the hair is 50 locsensd
at the roots that it can be removed with
knife or by machinery. In the other
the hides are raised and plunged at in-
tervals of 4 day or two in milk of lime.
the entire process taking about week.

ly ii was of Russian make, and the de-
mand was greater than the Importation.
Our Minister to Russia in 1879 Marshall
Jewell, was tanner. He discovered the
process by which it was made. and it
now is extensively manufactured here.
VIII YOU tell something OF Chaminade. the
composer? MARTIN.
Cecilc Chamirade is probably the most
widely known of women composers. She
lives near Faris. in which city she was
born August 8. 1861. Her carly musical
education was directed by several fine
European masters and made OF her "A
piano virtuoso. Her large compositions
include ballet music and lyric sym
phony, but she is best known for her
many songs. The most marked eharac-
teristic OF her compositions is her indie
pendencc of the canons of her art. This
is likely at first to make the student cred
it her with positive genius. an impression
that rarely holds long. She engages
yearly in concert tours OF Europe. and
several times has talked Of coming to
this country.
