Specie on s~teamshlps.

In these days Of heavy gold ship
ments the specie-room of the steam
ship is a very important institution.
1t is located in an out-of-the-way
place amidships, under the saloon.
Few Of the passengers know Of its ex-
istence, or Of the valuable treasure
that is carried across the ocean with
them. The room varies slightly on
different ships, but is usually about
sixteen feet long by ten feet wide and
eight feet high. 1t is constructed Of
steel plates one-quarter Of an inch
thick and strongly riveted together.
The floor, the ceiling and the walls
are all Of steel plates. There is a
heavy door, also made Of steel. 1t is
provided with a variety Of combina-
ton lock that is said to be burglar
proof. The gold and silver are usual
ly in bars, but occasionally a quantity
Of coin in bags is shipped.

He was in doubt, says London Tit

There wal no particular reason why
he should be in doubt, but, of course,
that has nothing to do with the case.
Up to a certain point in the court
ship it is the privilege of every lover
to be in doubt, and if he we're not he
would be tempted to believe some
thing was wrong.
On this particular evening he made
up his mind that he would reach the
point where doubt ends or know the
reason why.
Thus it happened that he got a lit

found that they were sitting side by
side on the sofa.

sQUELcHEs CITY UNCLE.
Country Boy scOrned Invidious Compare
isons with home Town.

He was a typical small boy, who
lived in q well-to-do town in the west
ern part Of the state, with pride in his
native home, and a vague idea that
city people considered all outsiders
as small potatoes, and few in a hill at
that.
Now, when his mother brought him
to Milwaukee to visit her brother, he
held his head proudly andintended to
convey the idea that he and his were
Of some importance.
His uncle took him to see the diffss-
ent big buildings, including the thea
ter, the library, post office and the
various churches.
One Sunday they were seated in
st. Paurs. The mother turned her
head to take in the beauty Of the
pictured windows with their pretty
c~olorings, and secretly wished her lot
had fallen in the city, but the boy
sat bolt upright as though such sur
roundings were very common to him.
When they reached home his un-
Gle remarked: ~Well, Tommy, the
church is something grand compared
with your buildings in c."

Full three to Que the rrdcoa,, come
With believing volIeys charging homei
Come like a tide-lhen break as If
That tide had struck a giant cliff
Ahat shall we say
OF that lei dayP
Why, this-,ud say It like a prayer
"Tnauk God we had a Jackson therel'
Heaven built the man
Upon a plan
So simply yet 50 largely drawn
He looms like Athens ParthenOn
When foudliug sunbeams sloop to kiss
The lemple-cro~ned Aciopolis
SO PLAN be was. yet stately, 100,
So rugged, strong and %slauucnly true,
The muse Of history stops to scan
The homely greatness of the man
Aud softly say
o. Jackson's Day,
ssHe was Vi common life begat,
The new worlds full-typed democrat.
On Jackson's Day
The world can say
He was a patriot true and tried
Aud one who rather would have died
Than plead with any foreign throne
For liberty to rule our own!
Our Declaration, freedoms chart,
Was stamped upon his fearless heart,
And, live or die, or sink or swim,
1t was The voice Of God to himi
His counlry's right,
His couutry's might,
Twin thoughts together, side by side
Dwell in his soul until he died!
This, too, we'll say
On Jackson's Day;
He learned from men in ragged jeans
Who fought with him at New Orleans
To hold the great, plain people dear
And trust TO them without a fear!
He knew the genius Of our land
Comes not from mansions rich and grand,
But has its humble, potent birth
At freedoms fane-the cottage hearth.
And this he knew,
Forever true
The common peoples hearts must be
The ramparts Of our liberty!
And now we say,
On Jackson's Day,
Till Jackson's grave shall be forgot
And bramble hide the holy spot;
Till all he did with sword aud pen
Shall cease to move the hearts of men,
Till then, in times Of doubt and fear,
Our eyes shall see, our ears shall hear
A countless host with hope unspent
Walk in the ways where Jackson went.
And men shall kneel
Aud deeply feel
The truth of what they SIMPLY say:
"The good God gave US Jackson's day. "

And each was 10 each other peer;
MY next is iron, sand or wood,
And Patti sang it loud and clear:

Upon our statutes reappear
To blot our commerce from the seas,
Aud palsy honest Labor's hand;
Our flag should float to every breeze,
Our trade be tree with every land.
