As long ago the force of Asia's hate
Was turned on Greece because she dared
So europe. following the self-same fate,
Shall hurl her combined armies. soon or
My country, upon thee.
The world moves on in cycles. History.
Advancing by some hidden law sublime,
Is re-enacted, as the ages flee;
FOR that which once has been again shall
Though changed to fit the time.
The monarchies behold with startled eyes
Thy growing shadow, casting in eclipse
Their trade and prestige; fear and envy
rise;
And he who asks, hears ominous replies
Fall from the Futures lips.
For Europe, naughty in ancestral pride,
With all her mighty ornaments of war,
TIL they are used will not be satisfied;
TO crush rival, an ner states allied
VIII gather on thy shore.
She will not brook an equal; will not see
The marts of commerce pass from her
control.
She hates thy newness, hates thy liberty;
But most she hates thy threatened mas
terry,
Thy feetness to the goal.
Already growl the war-dogs in their lairs;
Already come the mutterings of storm;
Then: as the trumpet call for action
Her columns swiftly form.
Her hosts unnumbered swarm upon thy
shore:
Her navies sprinkle the surrounding
seas,
This is the elimination of all war.
The Armageddon prophesied of yore,
Preceding lasting peace.
And long the contest wages to and fro.
And long the clouds hang heavy over
thee,
My native land; yet in the ending. know
Thou shalt prevail and over thee shall
glow
The sun of victory.
Then, as a tempest on summer day
Leaves all things purer from its passing
flood.
So shall thy stains. corruption and de-
cay,
Thy filth of greed and guilt be washed
away
In that baptism of blood.
Then stronger, better. truer than of yore.
The flag Of freedom over thee unfurled.
Thou shalt, the peoples champion once
more,
March onward through the Futures open
door,
The leader of the world.

 The man who has been remarking 1T fold YOU so'' to his room mate at the office who built house in the suburbs and moved into it last fall chuckled gleefully as the man who lives in the Suburbs appeared half an hour late the first morning of the recent snow storm,
 q told you s-' began the gleeful chuckler He was interrupted by the other who was not in a particularly happy frame of mind. and who sneered:
 s'Yes. you told me so, of course. You've been telling me so for the past six months If you hope that l will eventually believe it, why, keep it up.
 Ry no means abashed, the city man nroceeded with the attack Great sport hustling for the car through the snow, isn't it?" he went on to say. 'Especially fine, this waiting in the open for the hetter part of an hour and the road tied up and no prospect of the cars ever running again. S'pose you are prepared to say you couldn't get along without exercise. Of course, you can't imagine how you ever managed to exist when YOU didn't have to jump up from the breakfast table and dash half mile through icy drifts and then stand still and shiver while you ruined your eyes gazing along a line of poles wishing car would heave in sight. Walked in of course-you had to. The trudge was exhilara ting-set the blood acoursin through your veins and you feel like new man; certainly, l know your thought just as fully as though you had expressed 'em. Wasn't I glad, when looked out the window this morning, that I wasn't way off in the wilderness somewhere, but was snugly located right here in row of bricks and less than nine blocks from the office, But YOU know it an. You would move out there any old distance from nowhere. Maybe you're sorry now. I told you so'
 The man who built a house in the suburbs by this time had removed his overcoat and rubber boots and was warming himself in front of the furnace register,
 'I'll admit life outside the city limits entails some inconveniences during eX- traordinary weather such as prevails to-day" he said quietly. But there is one consolation. When l looked out the window and saw the vast eXpanse of snow I was compelled to throw on my clothes and hustle out before breakfast and shovel the 7eecv deposit off side walk, as you had to do, with the knowl- edge that failure to do so would result in my being hauled before the police court and fined Guess you'H admit there's at least one advantage in living in the suburbs. even in midwinter"

TOUGH OLD ENGLISH STATES
 MEN

In Macaulay's day English statesmen were of a hardier and more robust type than the present race of poli- ticians. They seem to have had cast iron nerves and appetites and diges- tions to match. They dned off huge beefsteak and bottle of port, while their grandsons are content with outlet and al emon squash. And yet they liv ed to a good old age. We hear of Lord Brougham at the age of 70 drinking two bottles of nort al dinner going to bed upon half a bottle of peat reek (whisky) and turning out at daylight to shoot teaT'; and Lord Lvndhurst at the age of 90 "supping off hot boiled lobster and champagne
 MT Kinnear, an old parliamentary hand. tells us that he remembers see- ing MT. Disraeli drinking, aa the pre- Jude to a big speech, a pint of port wine at the buffet in the commons lobby, dressed in a green coat buff waistcoat and snuff colored trousers" This seems a modest potation under the circumstances, but MT. Kinnear adds that Disraeli came back and had another pint lafer on.-BlackWood's.

MARSHALLS ABSENTMINDED-
 NESS

One day Judge Marshall, engrossed in his reflections, was driving over the wretched roads of North Carolina on his way to Raleigh in a stick gig. His horse turned out of the road, and the sulky ran over sapling and was tilted so as to arouse the judge. When he found that he could move neither to right nor left, an old negro who had come along, solved the difficulty,
 My old marster," he asked, "what fer you don't back your horse?"
 That's true" said the judge, and he acted as advised. Thanking his deliv- erer heartily he felt in his pocket for some change, but he did not have any.
 ''Never mind, old man" he said. q shall stop at the tavern and leave some money for you with the landlord"
 The old negro was not impressed with the stranger, but he called at the tavern and asked the keeper if an old gentleman had left anything there for him.
 "Oh yes" said the landlord, ''he left a silver dollar for you. What do you think of that old gentleman?"
 The negro gazed at the dollar and said:
 He was q gem'man for sho' but batting his forehead-"he didn't have much in here. '-Worlds Work.

VEIN OF sAPPHIREs.
They Are Found in a Perpendicular
 Lead of Dry Clay in Montana

| Lead of Dry Clay in Montana. | In Fergus county, Montana, is one of
 the most remarkable mines in America the sapphire properties at Yogo. In | this mine precious stones are found in regular veins, while in other localities they are invariably found in pockets. The sapphires are found scattered all along the lead, or vein, and, as in any kind of mining there is much dead work, as well as frequent rich strikes. Last month, for instance, five blocks of ground were worked; from one ten l thousand karats were extracted, while from another of equal dimensions only | seventy-four karats. were taken and the cost of working the block from which the ten thousand karats were se- cured was only about one-tenth that of working the other four blocks, from which eight thousand karats were req lized.
 The sapphires are found in a perpen- dicular lead or dry clay, with wall rock on both sides, and as this clay forma- tion is mined it is thoroughly washed and the gems extracted and picked
 over. They are of all sizes and various degrees of excellence. Thus far the company has worked down only fifty six or sixty feet, but prospecting has been done to a depth three times as great, and there are sapphires all the way down.
 The company secures it's water from a point twelve miles distant from the mines, conveying it by ditches and fumes. The supply of water this sea- son has been smaller than usual owing to light snowfall last winter, but it was not necessary at any time to sus- pend operations About forty men are constantly employed at the Yogo mines
 The output for this season will be very large, and some particularly fine stones was discovered early in June of last year. It weighed nineteen karats. The demand for the sapphires is con- stantly increasing, and the supply is ill- sufficient despits the fact that many individuals are also engaged in mining them at various spots along the Mis- souri river, in addition to the Ycgo mines
 
 All the stones are shipped direct to London where many of them are cut, while others are sent to Antwerp for that purpose. About half of the pro- duct finds it's way back to the United States, several large American compa- nies having contracts with the English firm to which the mining company sells it's product. The duty on the cut gems is ten per cent. The actual mining sea- son is from April 15 to October 3l, or until the water freezes
 As by-product considerable corun- dunn is being mined. but this will be valueess until a railroad shall have been built on the mines, Fergus county being the only one in the state unac- quainted with the iron horse. Corun- dunn is worth ten pounds ton in Lon- don and is used in the making of emery wheels, etc. Thousands of tons of this mineral are now lying on the dump awaiting cheap nsportation-Chi go 1nter-Ocean

THEIR FIRST RAILROAD RIDE
HOW HT IMPRESSED THE
 KING
or Swaziland aud His Indunns In Court
Dress.

Ubunu, the young king of Swaziland, appeared in full court dress, that is to say, 4O-shilhng slop suit, with a bowl CT hat. and attended by his "tail"' of Indunas-about dozen nearly naked Swazis-on the station platform at Bar berton, and waited patiently until 1t was almost dark when the rumble ot the train could be heard in the distance, With straining eyes they watched the track to see the flying wonder they had heard of. But when the engine, with screaming whistle and two great lamps glaring like the eyes of monster dragon rounded the curve and came screaming toward them, they fled like panic-stricken rabbits to the nearest cover, leaving their chief and the few white men on the platform to face the danger.
 Next morning the chief reappeared on the platform with his tail and begged the acting station master to show his Indunas the locomotive Tn less bellicose mood, and if it were hu- manly possible to give them a short ride behind it. As there was really noth- ing doing at the station, the station master decided to humor the young chiefs wish, and, hooking an empty coal truck onto the locomotive he to4d the driver to take them for few miles run along the line. Ubunu and off they set. It was flair and softly station master into the cab of the engine and off they set. It was flair and softly, for a short distance from the start, ana the Swazis seemed delighted with the new sensation but the driver put on speed, and when it got to about twenty miles an hour his passengers were clearly in a great state of alarm; they grasped the side of the truck, and gazed like paralytics at the rocks and trees flying past them.
 ITbunu did his best to reassure them but in vain, and some of them were on the point of Jumping overheard to es- cape a worse fate when Ubunu shouted to the driver and asked him please to slacken the pace. No sooner said than done, and in little more than minute their speed was reduced to that of an OK wagon. The Swazis were quite reas- sured, and were soon laughing and talking again as lively as ever. At siding half way to AToca, they halted. the engine changed ends and the return tourney began. Ubunu gave the sign that he would like a bit of speed put on. and the driver, nothing loath, whip ped her up until she was going between thirty and forty miles an hour. He imagined that the Swazis would get the funks again, for the road was not very smooth and the truck was Jumping about a good deal but he was mistaken The Swazis had seen enough to satisfy them that he was master of the 'smok- ing horse" and a hundred miles an hour would not have shaken their confidence.
 On returning to the station they got out of the truck with evident reluct- anee, but highly delighted with their adventure The station master was no longer a person of consequence. They crowded around the cab of the engine, made the most dutiful abeisance to the master of the smoking horse and his mate, and departed with shouts of "Inkoos, inkoos!"

HAIR TRANSATLANTIC
OF CHINESE---SICKLK WHISK-
 FRS
And Feeble Eyebrows Made to Con- 
 tribute to Success tn Life.

I Chinese physiognomists say the eye
 brows and whiskers of a man are just
 as essential in their relations to his sue
 cess in life as his other qualifications. | If the eyebrows are feeble or the whis-
 kers are sticky his luck will be thin 1 and his health poor. Therefor, to stop the train of bad luck which nature un- | fortunately has ordained for such a
 man he orders his eyebrows changed or replanted by a hair-planting professor | This is done by first carefully pulling | out the rebellious or unlucky hairs i'll the eyebrows. The next operation is to select spot of hair on the neck of the
 pateitn or behind his ears, that would suit for a fine eyebrow, and reduce
 these hairs to the right length.
 A pair of sharp pincers is picked up with the left hand and, selecting a suit able sized hair the operator jerks 1t instrument in the right hand he pierces a minute hole in the skin of the bald eyebrow in slanting direction, and while the point of the instrument is still on the edge of the hole the root of the pulled-up hair Is carefully inserted. But if blood oozes out of it before the hair is planted the hole will not be used on the day for fear of inflammation and not sufficient uutriment for the hair to take proper root The operation is re- peated till every hair in the eyebrows is replaced.
 The patient is said to experience pain in the eyebrows for about twenty-four hours, after which he is all right, The professor charges more for painting eyebrows than whiskers. because of the many varied degrees of slantng each hair to make the eyebrow look natural to the man or to suit the ideas of the physiognomist.-Fro the New York Mail and Express.

HOW HE KEPT HIS PANAMA
 WHITE


 WHITE.
 The number of Panama or alleged Panama hats to be seen everywhere this season reminded an old gentleman from Boston of a story the other day, which he proceededt O tell another man in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, holding his own genuine Panama in his hand.
 T suppose you have never heard of old Dr. Ellis down here" he said. But a generation or two ago he was we'll kndwn figure in Boston, being one of our famous Unitarian ministers, a friend of many of the Transcendental- ists. He used always to wear white Panama hat, which at that time was much more of a luxury than I judge it is to-day The same hat did him sea son after season, yet it never seemed to lose any of it's fresh whiteness.
 "One day minister of the old per- suasion, and very pronounced in his or thodoxy, asked pr. Ellis how he kept his hat so white. That is easy, said the doctor, for 1t has been Calvinized.'
 What?' said the other minister. How do you galvanize hat?

 the world of practical affairs. I was in the boundless realms of thought and paid but fleeting attention to the active field of human action. It was neces- saly to notify me when l should attend my classes, eat my meals and even
 when l should retire,
 l 'I was at one time requested to lec-
 ture in New England village and agreed to do so. The theme was one that had received my best thoughts, and the mere prospect of delivering it was physical pleasure When l ar rived at the depot, my thoughts were concentrated upon the prepared ad- dress. l realized that my train was an
 hour late and that l must hurry, but beyond the mere fact of hurrying 1 did not grasp a detail.

 Away we went with plurge. The carriage rolled like ship in the trough of the sea Street lights seemed a torchlight procession moving rapidly by the other way. Constables shouted, dogs parked, small boys chased us and business ceased that people might stand on the sidewalks and gaze Up one street and down another we dashed madly. We took corners on two wheels, grazed telegraph poles and knocked over such movables as ash barrels and dry good boxes.
 After half an hour of this bewlder- ing experience l stuck my head out of the window and shouted, Are we near ly there?
