Great Lava Streams Attending an
Eruption of Mont Peice.
Since the disaster at Martinique
most people, especially those of scien-
tific and venturesome spirit, have taken
new interest in volcanoes. Old era
tels, whose tricks are still unknown,
and craters that have just taught men
to beware of them, have been studied
with unusual care. Interesting expe-
riences have been common. Hardly
one of the recent papers on volcanoes
is without some tale of adventure in
which the human side appeals even
more strongly than the scientific

titled "Looking Into the Caribbean
Craters," published in the Century
Magazine. narrates an adventure he had

three sharp peals of thunder rang
through the valley. Rolling up over
the mountain top was a great brown,
convoluting cloud. 1t assembled in

Casey mt the Bat.
There was ease in Caseys manner as he
stepped into his place,
There was pride in Casey's bearing and
smile on Casey's face,
And when, responding to the cheers, he
lightly DOTTED his hat
No stranger in the crowd could doubt
twas Casey at the bat!
len thousand eyes were on him as he
rubbed his hands with dirt,
Ten thousand tongues applauded him as
he wiped them on his shirt,
And, while the wrthing pitcher ground
the ball into his hip,
Defiance glanced in Casey's eye, sneer
curled Casey's lip.
And now the eather-covered sphere came
hurting through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in haugh-
ty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball
unheeded sped.
THAT hain't my style!' said Casey.
Strike one!" the umpire said.
From the benches black with people there
went up mutfied roar,
Like the beating of the storm waves
on n stern and distant shore.
"Kill him! Kill the umpire" shouted
some one from the stand,
And it's likely they'd have killed him
had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great
Casey's visage shone.
He stilled the rising tumult and bade
the game go on.
He signaled to the pitcher. and once
more the ball it flew,
But Casey still ignored it. and the um-
pire said, Strike two"
Fraud. fraud" shout maddened thou
sands, and the echo answered
Fraud"
But one scornful look from Casey, and
the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold,
they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey would not let
that ball go by again.
The smile is gone from Casey's face, his
teeth are clinched with hate,
And he beats with cruel violence his bat
upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and
now he lets it co.
And now the air is shattered by the force
of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the
sun is shining bright.
The band Is playing somewhere, and
somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are singing, some
where children shout,
But there is no JOY in Mudville-mighty

TEN YEARS WITH GYPSIES.

Romance Of an English Lad Who
Lived Among the Romantics.
A child romance. almost incredible in
these days. is presented in the restora-
ton to his friends Of the youth Francis
Joseph Holton. Of Manor street. Wool
witch common, after having been lost
for ten years.
The police found him a few days ago
sleeping on a Drury Lane doorstep,
says the London Mail. Taken to the
Bow street police court, he stated that
he had run away from a caravan Of
gypsies. with whom, so far as he could
remember, he had lived all his life. At
any rate, he knew nothing whatever
Of his parents. From the police station
he was taken to the Catholic home in
Westminster bridge road.
The paragraphs in the newspapers
reporting the boys appearance at Bow
street caught the attention Of Mrs
Greed, of Southbrook street. Shep-
herds Bush. She went to her ledger,
Mrs. Mead, exclaiming: you have
often said your little brother. aged 5,
was lost ten years ago. Here's case
of boy Is who has escaped from
gypsies. You ought to follow this up"
The result was that the boy was
identified by small birthmark on his
face and scar on the top of his head.
the result of fall before he left home.
Sister and father and friends agreed
that he was the boy who had suddenly
disappeared on March 81. 1892.
When interviewed at his fathers
home in Manor street, Woolwich, the
lad spoke clearly and readily Of his
sojourn Of nearly eleven years with the
gypsies. But as to his parents and
his childhood his mind is an utter
blank.
There were seven Of us in the cara
van." said the lad. 1.-The husband and
wife. three daughters. son and my

steaks and hosts of good things. They
gave me a rough time. My food was
generally bread and cheese and water
all the week, and a share of hare or
rabbit or other flesh food on Sundays
Their living was but little better than
mine.
"They never spoke any Romany--
nothing but English. 1t was hard
work most of the time. and my share
was poor food and a tllrashing when
did not work hard enough for them
We all worked at the hop-picking, but

quietly away.

The Heart Bowed Down.

The Heart Bowed Down.
The heart bowed down by weight of woe
To weakest hopes will cling,
To thought and impulse while they flow
That can no comfort bring.
To those exciting scenes will blend,
Der pleasures pathway thrown;
But memory is the only friend
That grief can call it's own.
The mind will, in its worst despair,
Still ponder DER the past
On moments of delight that were
Too beautiful to last;
To long departed years extend.
Its visions with them flown;
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.

Brief Suuyestions.

Use bacon fat for basting or frying
chicken or game. 1t imparts delicate
flavor.
To cool mold of jelly quickly place
it in a vessel full of cold salt ed water
and set it in a cool cellar
too large cork will often fit bot
tie quite well after it has been soaked
in boiling water for few minutes.
Pastry should be cooled off in a
warm room: taking it suddenly from the
oven to cold Harder will make it
heavy.
When cooking acid fruits If n small
pinch of carbonate of soda be added
less sugar will be needed and the flavor
will be greatly improved.
Turpentine will cleanse zinc and
make it look like new. Wash the zinc
first in hot soda water and then rub
with flannel dipped in turpentine.
When making beef tea never add the
salt till the meat has been cooking for
some time. Salt acts upon the fiber and
prevents it giving out all its nourish-
ing properties.
Save old corks and soak them in par
afiin and they will make excellent fire
lighters. either for reviving a dying
fire or with few sticks Of kindling
one in the first place.
Try small potatoes cooked thus: Boil
the potatoes in their skins. When cook
ed remove the skin by rubbing in a
cloth. drop into boiling fat to brown
quickly. Drain and serve at once.
