8-HOUR LAW

United States. has not unlimited power.
It could not determine the hours where
in a man may work. nor define a class
of work for him, nor to prevent an en-
ployer from demanding any number of
hours he chose from his laborers. But
as far as government work is concerned
II could fix what in its wisdom would
be deemed a days work. Eventually
this leaven thus inserted will ferment
and improve the laborer's condition In
all lines. There is no doubt but If a
general adherence to this rule was car
rled out 1t would result in much inn
provement in the bodily and mental
condition Of those who build every
tangible fabric. Eight hours will some
day be reckoned as the general unit of
work although the time may be long
coming
Many are averse to seeing the law
making power attempting to interfere
with what appears to them TO be
matter without its province We know
that the compulsory suspension of labor
of one day in seven met opposition.
Yet this commandment. to them who
have kept ii. has probably done more
for the advancement of the human race
than any other that could be mentioned.

With four signatures lacking, the
deed of trust of the business Of the

ed. The agreement has been ratined
by every creditor. but the failure Of the
four to sign is due to the fact that
the proper officers Of the various

which have surrounded the well known

the entire business of the firm is plac-

 tie girl. In the country of Over There. There are strains of sweeter song, little
 girl,
 Than hearts of this land can bear: There are delicate whispers and fitting
 feet And gay, bright laughing at pleasures

 girl.
 In that country of Over There. But no one can tell you the way, little
 girl,
 To that land so dear and fair: It glows in the sunset pools of light. It shines in the starry clouds at night And only your heart can stray. little girl To the country of Over There.

THE cHAMeERED NAUTILUS.

By Oliver Wendell Holmes This Is the ship of pearl which poets
 feign
 Sails the unshadowed main. The venturous bark that filings On the sweet summer wind It's purpled
 wings In gulfs enchanted, where the siren sings And coral reefs lie bare, Where the cold sea maids rise to sun
 their streaming hair. It's webs of livig gauge no more unfurl. Wrecked Is the ship of pearl, And every ehambered cell. Where it's dim dreaming life was wont
 to dwell As the frail tenant shaped his growing
 shell. Before thee lies revealed Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt
 unsealed. Year after year beheld the silent toll That spread his lustrous coil, Still, as the spiral grew, He left the last years dwelling for the
 new. Stole with soft step its shining archway
 through.
 Built up its idle door, Stretched in it's last found home and
 knew the old no more Thanks for the heavenly message brought
 by thee
 Child of the wandering sea. Cast from her lap, forlorni From thy dead lips a cleaner note Is born Than ever Triton blew from wreathed
 horn!
 While on my ear it rings, Through the deep cares of thought hear
 a voice that sings: Build thee more stately mansions, my
 soul,
 As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low vaulted past! Let each new temple. nobler than the
 last. Shut thee from heaven with dome more
 vast Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's
 unresting seal

Tu6AL CAIN.

By Charles Mackay. Old Tubal Cain was a man of might In the days when earth was young: By the fierce red light of his furnace
 bright
 The strokes of his hammer rung; And he lifted high his brawny hand On the iron glowing clear, Till the sparks rushed out in scarlet
 showers
 As he fashioned the sword and spear. And he sang, "Hurrah for my handiworkl Hurrah for the spear and sword! Hurrah for the hand that shall wield
 them well.
 For he shall be king and lord" To Tubal Cain came many a one, As he wrought by his roaring fire, And each one prayed for a strong steel
 blade
 As the crown of his desire;

SWEDEN'S COAL FAMINE.
Talk of Using Electricity or Peat or
 the Railroads.


 Sweden, according to recent consular reports, has been reduced to desperate straits by the high price of foreign coal and the inferior quality of her own. In- vention has thus been stimulated in sev- eral directions. One suggestion which has been made to the government is that it shall utilize the water power of the mountains for the electrical operation of the state railways. And inasmuch as Sweden is nearly as well off in mountain streams as Switzerland Is, the idea will no doubt receive careful consideration. The country which gave birth to Eriecs- son and Nobel has produced other wide awake engineers.
 Another proposition which has been put forward is to burn peat on the railroads. This kind of fuel is abundant in Sweden. Hitherto it has not been found feasible to use this on the ordinary locomotive. It may be necesssary, therefore. to modify its furnace or else to prepare the peat in fresh form, as for instance, to briqu- cites. Already this latter solution of the fuel question has been tried in Germany and comparatively successful results are reported from that country. briquette factory just erected in Swenden under government auspices will operate under German patents this fall and winter.
 Sweden has coal desposits of her own. but the quality Is exceedingly poor. It has been found impracticable to use this material on the railways without mixing 1t with the best English coal. But if way could be found to substitute peat for the imported article, and to burn a combi- nation of the two domestic products, double gain would be effected. Still peat is bulky stuff, in spite of its combustibi- ity. After all, the conversion of water power into electricity may prove the most satisfactory method of meeting Swendens requirements. Europe. as well as America, Is destined to witness a great revolution in traction system in the next ten years.

THE SUNBEAM.

By Mrs. Hemans. Thou art no lingerer in monarchs hall, A joy thou art, and a wealth to all; A bearer of hope unto land and sea Sunbeam what gift hath the world like
 thee? Thou art walking the pillows and ocean
 smiles; Thou hast touched with glory his thous-
 and isles; Thou hast lit up the ships, and the feath-
 cry foam, And giaddened the sailor. like words
 from home. :. To the solemn depths of the forest shades Thou art streaming on through thelr
 green arcades, And the quivering leaves that have ; caught thy glow. Like frefies glance to the pools below. looked on the mountains-a vapor lay Folding their heights in its dark array; Thou breakest forth-and the mist De-
 came A crown and mantle of living flame. looked on the peasants lowly cot Something of sadness had wrapped the spot: But a gleam of thee on its easement fell, And 1t laughed into beauty at that bright
 spell. To the earth's wild places a guest thou
 art. Flushing the waste like the roses heart; And thou soonest not, from thy pomp to shed A tender light on the ruins head. Thou takst through the dim church-aisle
 thy way, And it's pillars from twilight flash forth to day. And it's high pale tombs, with their troph-
 ies old. Are bathed in flood, as of burning gold. And thou turnest not from the humblest
 grave, Where flower to the signing winds may 2 wave: Thou scatterest its gloom like the dreams
 of rest, Thou sleepest in love on its grassy E breast. Sunbeam of summer, o, what is like
 thee? Hope of the wilderness. joy of the sea! One thing is like thee, to mortals given The faith, touching all things with hues of heaven.

..Poerns Worth Reading.

And he made them weapons sharp and
 strong,
 Till they shouted loud for glee. And gave him gifts of pearl and gold, And spells of the forest free. And they sang, "Hurrah for Tubal Cain, Who hath given us strength anew Hurrah for the smith, hurrah for the
 fire,
 And hurrah for the metal truer' But a sudden change came OCT his heart Ere the setting of the sun. And Tubal Cain was filled with pain For the evil he had done; He saw that men, with rage and hate, Made war upon their kind, That the land was red with the blood
 they shed
 In their lust for carnage blind. And he said. Alas that I evey made, Or that skill of mine should plan, The spear and the sword for men whose
 joy
 Is to slay their fellow manr And for many a day old Tubal Cain Sat breeding O CT his woe; And his hand forbore to smte the ore And his furnace smoldered low. But he rose at last wI.n cheerful face, And bright courageous eye And barred his strong right arm for work, While the quick flames mounted high; And he sang 'Hurrah for my handi-
 craftr"
 And the red sparks lit the air; Not alone for the blade was the bright
 steel made
 And he fashioned the first plowshare. And men. taught wisdom from the past In friendship joined their hands, Hung the sword in the hall, the spear on
 the wall,
 And plowed the willing lands: And sang, "Hurrah for Tubal Cain! Our staunch good friend is he And for the plowshare and the blow To him our praise shall be. But while oppression lifts It's head, Or tyrant would be lord. Though we may thank him for the blow, We'll not forget the sword"
