Home.


Wherever on far distant farms
The orchard trees lift bounteous arms,
The lane Is grape-leaved. woodland dense.
The chipmunk leaps the zigzag fence.
The horses from the plow's last round
Drink with deep, sweet cooling sound,
And with the soft young moon ailoat
Comes up the frogs heart-easing note.
And tree-toads' endless melody,
oh, that is home.
Is restful home to me.
Whenever on a distant street
Two charmful eyes l chance to meet.
The look of one who knows the grace
or every change on natures face,
Whose sealike soul is open wide
To breezes from the farther side,
Whose voice and movement seem to give
The knowledge of how best to live
And how to live most happily,
oh, that is home.
Is blessed home to me.
-Ethelwyn Wetherald, in Youths Com
panion.

A NATURAL SOAP MINE.
Spot in British COlumb la from Which
Curious SapOnnceOus Sub
stance Is Taken.

Out in British Columbia they have
recently found place where one can
chop pieces of soap out of the ground.
Or, if it is not soap, ii is the next thing
to it. The hands can be washed with
it, and the farmers and workmen of
that neighborhood declare that it will
remove grease and dirt more quickly
than the real article, says the New
York Tribune.
This useful substance is mixture
of boraX and soda, both of which have
long been employed in laundry work.
The mineral is found on the shores of
small soda lakes in the foothills near
Ashcraft, and Is being taken out IN
blocks IS inches long, Is inches wide
and s or inches thick. A rough esti-
mate which has cached Montreal
and which has been passed along to
| Washington by the American consu
general at the former place, puts the
total amount of deposit at 10000 tons
Nothing is sid, however, about thu
cost of getting it to market.
Borax is formed by the union o
boracic acid and carbonate of soda
In California, Nevada, Persia, Thibe
and India it occurs ready made. Ger
tain springs in Sicily abound i'm boraci
acid. which is artificially converted
into borax on the spot by the addition
of soda. Chill and Peru have deposit
of borate of lime, which, with prope
chemical treatment. Is turned int
commercial boraN. The minern
found in British Columbia seems 10 b
much the same thing as the Cnliforni
product.

A windmill on a Massachusetts,
farm was blown over and fell into a
stream of water; the gearing having
been left intact the water of the
stream turned the wheel and this,it is
said, led to the discovery that
power can be obtained by plac-
ing similar wheels in streams
having a velocity of only five
miles an hour and that screw-built
wheels can be placed in sets, one
above another. so that the power can
be multiplied with out limit.

THE CLEW THAT FAILED.
An Instance Of the UnrcIinbiIity of
u Mans Actions ns nm Index
to His Calling.

THAT man used to be an army Of
ficer."
The above remark was made in the
lobby of the Raleigh one evening by
Mr.. Henry Porter, an old newspaper
man from Chicago. 1t was addressed
to Representative Pugsley, of New
York, who was standing by the hotel
desk conversing with group of
scribes, says the Washington Post.
How do you know?" asked Mr..
Pugsley.
'Do you see how he put his hand
in his trousers pocket? There watch
him. See, when he puts in his hand
he lifts up the side of his coat instead
of brushing it away from the front
as you or / would do. He acquired
that habit by wearing fatigue coat
in the army. That garment, you
know, is cut square about the body
and is short. To put the hand in the
pocket, the side must be lifted up.
See, he has done it again."
The incident lead to n discussion,
with the result that one of the re-
porters volunteered to ask the stran,
ger if he had ever been an ofiicer in
the army. 1t turned out the man was
Mr.. Frederick B. Poore, now real
estate dealer of New York city.

in my pocket in that manner" sale
