MOTHER AND I.


Mother has gone. and the house is
lonely,
Here lies her book where she read
one day.
Here is the chair. and the foot rest

Only few short miles between US;
Just a short journey by rail-and
then
Back to the cottage home so humble
Mother and l can live again.
oh, / know I know l can soon be with
her.
IT'S not her absence that pains my
heart
IT'S but the thought that sometime,
somewhere,
Mother and will drift apart.

the cir swept down upon them, and as
it advanced the chill horror of its
breath touched their long locks and
waved them gently, the dense, whirlins

from their sight both sky and prairie

Nearer and nearer yet it drew, un.

with bowed heads they bade life fare

SOWING WITH CANNON.
How a High, Rocky Crag Became q
Thing of Beauty.

Near Blair Castle stands a high
rocky crag named Craiglebarns, which
for a long time looked grim and bare
in the midst Of beauty, and it's owner
thought how much prettier it would
look if only trees. shrubs, etc, could
be planted in it's hooks and crannies.
1t was considered impossible for any
one to scale its steep and dangerous
acclivities, and no other way vas
thought of to get seed sown.
One day Alexander Nasmyth. father
Of the celebrated engineer. paid visit
to the grounds. The crag was pointed
out to him, and, after some thought, he
nit upon a scheme. In passing the
castle he noticed two old cannon. He
got a few small tin canisters made to
fit the bore OF the cannon and filled
them with a variety Of tree, shrub and
grass seed. The cannon was loaded
in the usual way and fired at the rock
from all sides.
The little canisters, on striking the
lock burst, scattering the Sc ,cs in 81.

Transformation is always related to
the visitor, and never fails to arouse
interest. The novel system Of sowing

Of the country, and doubtless it will

among gardeners. For lesser heights

ANIMAL ClEVERkESS,

Animals show great aptitude in

tereSt to them in the struggle for eX.
istence,' said a gentleman from one CT
the nearby parishes, ''and l have been
very much amused at times at the lit
tie things they do in an effort to com
fort themselves and to make life's bur
den as light as possible. They are very
astute at times. We have an old bay
horse which is an expert when it
comes to slipping the bride. and ever
since we have discovered his peculiar
trick, it is almost impossible to keeI
him hitched on account Of the profici
ency he las acquired by long practice
He is one Of the best-natured horses
| ever saw, and it is the easiest thing
In the world to catch him. Really. he
will meet you half way in the pasture
if he believes you are coming after
him. He probably does this because
he delights in slipping the b,idle and
getting away from you and probably
causing you to walk several miles afte,

understand the ease with which he
would slip his bride and get away.
Il was always extremely careful
about the throat latch and would buc.

down the road. Frequently l would
have to walk miles in order to get
back home.

where the throat latch circled his neck

until the top Of the bride slipped over

AN ARTIFICIAL INFERNO,
Risks Attending Certain Departments
Of Steel Making.

Waldon Fawcett pictures very vivid
ly in the Century the special risks
attending certain departments Of the
work of steel making at Pittsburg.
The mode of operating one Of the
older furnaces, although it was the
accepted method only few years ago.
seems crude enough now. Workmen
with shovels transfer the fuel and raw
material from the railroad-cars to
novel iron wheelbarrows which are
loaded on a rickety-looking elevator
that creeps creakingly up the outside
of the furnace to the top, hundred
feet in the air. Perched up on this
chimney-like structure, with the mol
ten pool directly below,-standing
above the crater Of volcano, as it
were,-are workmen whose daily occu.
patton is as dangerous as that of a
steeple-climber.
The deadliest danger is from the
great wave Of poisonous gases which
rushes up with terrific force whenever
the bell" as the top Of the furnace
is called is opened to admit fresh
supply of fuel or ore. AS rule, the
escaping gases become ignited, and
woe betide the unfortunate workman
who is tardy in retreating before the
sheet of fame that momentarily illum-
mates the whole countryside. At
times, however, the gases do not pass
off in flame, and the effect upon the
Of %orvi1o1o IF
bonic acid fumes is very much the
same as that which might be expected
from an over dose OF whisky. Some
times a severe attack Of hiccOughs and
a violent headache warn the worker
that he must quickly seek clearer at
but more often the laborer
falls in his tracks as completely over
come as though heavy dose of ether
or chloroform had been administered.
So many men have lost their lives or
been terribly burned by pitching head
long within the zone of heat and fame
when staggering from the Supplying
odor that, nowadays, an extra man is
stationed at the top of the old-fashion
ed furnace, back where he will not be
reached by the gases, whose duty it is
to drag to the elevator and take to the
ground as quickly as possible any OF
the men who may be overcome. 1t
is not an unusual sight, at goodsized
plant of long establish |
ment, to see half a dozen dazed men |
stretched side by side upon the grass. |
the ghastly pallor which the gas has
wrought intensified by the blotches
If CRIME which partly obscure it.
More terrifying even than the men.
ace of the gases is the ever-present |
of an explosion that will
,ess the massive cover Of the furnace
nto the air. Sometimes this giant |
i'd rises only few yards and then
alls back into place, but there have
oeen instances when it landed on the
ground many rods away. Whatever
,e the force of one of these sudden
lpheavals of the lava-like mass, the
aborers on top Of the furnace have
10 warning of it's approach, and theil
chances of life, when flames burst
orth as though from a cannon's
mouth, constitute the most uncertain
# problems.
