aI
Sudden the desert changes
The raw glare softens and clIngs
TIL the aching 'oudtshoord ranges
stand up-skd the thrones Of kings
Ramparts Of slaughter and peril
Blazing, amazIng--aglow
Twixt the skylne's betting berry,
And the wine-dark flats below.
Royal the pageant closes,
Lit by the last Of the sun
Opal and ash-of-roses
Cinnamon, lumber and dun,
The twilight swallows the thicke.
The starlight reveals the ridge;
The whistle shrills to the picket
We are changing guard on the bridge

Where the empty metals shine

TOAD ESCAPED THE BLAZE.
Imb edded in q Lump of Coal the Ba.
trachian Had . Narrow Escape
from Death.

The disbelievers who have smiled at
the notion of a live toad being found
in a lump of coal will be shocked by
an event which has lately happened
at Rugby, says the London Mail. The
oft-derided toad has appeared from
the midst of the ruins of the oft-dis'
credited lump Of coal. The exhumed
hermit is, moreover, now alive and il
destined to be handed down to pos
terity in q Theoretically sealed glass
jar.
This historic toad was introduced
to modern society through the in
strumentality of a small poker, WELD
ed in utilitarian spirit by Mr.. Clarke
of Heureux villa, Bath street, Rugby
The happy event occurred, not in
Heureux villa as might be imagined
but in Mr.. Clarke's Office in North
street, Rugby, where one morning
three large Jumps of Baddesley Goa
had been placed in the CRATE to encour
age a dispirited fire.
Mr.. Clarke took up the small poker
He smote one of these Jumps of War
wickshire coal. 1t fell in pieces
Among them sat a good-sized toad Of
inky blackness. The toad did not
wink for the very good reason tina,
it apparently had no eyes. It has
since developed them. Stranger still
it has no mouth.
Mr.. Clarke fortunately rescued the
toad from its peril and dropped it into
a pail of water, where it revived. II
is now able to crawl. Before it is con
signed to it's new tomb it is hoped
that it will hop. AS to its genuine
ness there can be no shadow of doubt
but unfortunately the cavity in the
GOAL could not be preserved, as the
lump, which had been smoldering OF
the fire for q considerable time, fell
to pieces when struck with the poker
That the toad is not the ordinary
common or garden animal is patent tt
the most casual observer. A Daily
Mail correspondent had an opportuni
ty of examining it at Mr.. Clarke's Of
fee the other day. Much of its sonty
appearance disappeared in the water
and It is now a dull brown. 1t hal
been sealed up in a glass and is to b.
submitted to the examination of ex
perts.
AS stated, it has no mouth, but small
nostrils can be seen. There is a con
slant motion in the throat and also
occasional motions of the sides, a.
the lungs contract and expand. Al
though its eyes are exceedingly bright
it does not see, this having been proved
by placing lighted match close to thu
toad's eyes without causing it to re
coil.

our original country is subject to

beginning to teach, the growing of
coffee in Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Present indications are that we will
thus raise all of our own coffee under
our own flag, instead of buying $685.

You see how much richer we will be
and how much more independent
when we can keep those immense
sums within the hands of our own

GERMAN STEAMERS.
According to Andrew Carnegie The!
Must Soon Lead All Large
Fast Boats.

As for the serious loss of the At.
lantic express travel, a few words
will explain why this was inevitable,
writes Andrew Carnegie, in Nine.
teenth Century, keeping in view Brit.
aims environment. The British
steamship lines sailing between Liv.
erpool and New York convey passen.
gers to and from Britain only, with
her 100000 of people. The Ger.
man lines sailing from Bremen and
Hamburg to New York draw first
from the whole of northern Europe,
then touch at Southampton and draw
part of the British travel, and, not
content with this augmentation,
crossing to Cherbourg, they draw
from Paris and all southern Europe.
Thus three fine streams of travel
feed their enormous fast ships; the
3oo,ooo,oOo of Europe are tributary
to them; and homeward from Ameri.
ca to Germany they draw all who
wish to visit or have business with
any of these millions, for the home
ward ships touch also at Cherbourg,
Southampton, or Plymouth, and land
passengers. Against this the Brit
ish lines have only tributary to them
41,5oo,ooo of people who desire pas
sage to New York, and returning
from America to Britain, only those
Americans who desire to visit the A.
100000 for pleasure or business. It
goes without saying that the German
lines must inevitably lead in large,
fast steamers. But no cause for
pessimism here, because British ship
owners are neither nnenterprising
nor inefficient; they only show their
good sense by recognizing the situa-
ton, and will hold more of the profit
of Atlantic travel for Britain than if
they attempted the impossible.

An amusing instance of unconscious solil-
oquy during tete-a-tete with a lady was
told of the famous physician, DR.. Friend.
1t was in the old convivial days, and the
doctor was summoned one evening from a
rather too festive board to the bedside of
lady patient. He felt her pulse "secun.
dem artem,' but for the life of him could
not count it's beats. Drunk by Jove!" he
soliloquized, and pulled himself together
sufficiently to order some harmless mix
ture. His delight may be imagined when
the next morning, instead of an indignant
dismissal from further attendance, he re.
ceived from his patient confession that
he had diagnosed her complaint quite cor.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeters and secured a
large quantity of bogus bills, which are SO
cleverly executed that the average person
would never suspect them of being spu-
rious. Things of great value are always Sc
lected for imitation. notably Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, which has many lmitators
but no equals for disorders like indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation. nervousness and
general debility. Always go to reliable
druggists who have the reputation of Civ
ing what you ask for.

Only q Child.

People hear a voice i'll the street
and say, 1T is only child! Only
child!' My soul stands abashed
and overwhelmed III the presence OF
these young princes of God, these
SONS and daughters Of immortality
these voyagers eternity bound.
They have started out OH a Journey
which will never end, but winding
up among hierarchical splendors;
yet upward bound for highe,
themes and loftier empires, forever,
or else pitching oil the verge of a
great night--deep, fathomless, ir-
remediable, down forever, forever.
BY and by they shall have heeter
motion, by and by they Shall take
wings of light or darkness, and
while God lives and eternal ages go
marching on, they will mount up
steps of glory, shouting Hosanna!
Hosanna! or go ,down through
labyrlnths of disaster crying Woe.
Woe! Yet you say, 1T is only a
little child, only little hand, only
little foot, only little heart, only
a child. '-Little Wanderer Friend.
