Toned tombs they lower into place the

not lowered by means Of a derrick.
They are lowered by hand. The work

Webatcr and the SINGER.

Daniel Webster was exceedingly
fond of music, and when he was stop
ping at Wizards hotel in Washington
he never ceased to implore the wife of
a member Of congress, also a guest at
the hotel, for lust a little song" He
had M old fashioned gallantry in
speaking to ladies', and every time he
saw the wife Of his friend he compli-
mented her most e~xtravagantly on her
voice. When Jenny Lind came to
Washington Daniel Webster was, of
course, among the audience. He had
come In rather late from a champagne
party and after each song of Jenny
Lind's applauded most vociferously.
Finally, rising to the pinnacle Of en-
thusiasm, he stood up in the crowded
hall and made one Of his most gallant
bows to the great singer. Then, catch
ing sight Of the lady whose voice he
also admired, he turned to her, away
from Jenny Lind, and made a still low
er bow amid the laughter and applause
Of the audience.

POETRY IN MACHINERY.
Glorious Work of the Modern Reaper
a Fit Subject For Art.

Glorious Work of the Modern Reaper
a Fit Subject For Art.
Poetry and art have these many
years pictured the labors Of men and
women in the harvest field. From
Ruth, the cleaner, to Millet's REAPER"
we have read the long, melancholy sto-
~ Of the toilers gathering with crude,
wasteful, inhuman hand tools the crops
Of the world that the nations might
have bread. Rightly understood, these
two women, living so far apart, are pa
thetic monuments to the astounding
stupidity that could permit such things
when, as we now see, by taking thought
a machine can release humanity from
such senseless labor. With a singular
perversity artists have delighted to
paint pictures of foolish toll. Even now
the critics tell us that neither the now
er, the reaper, the thrashing machine
o the sulky plow is a fit subject for a
picture.
Never was there a greater blunder.
The glory and majesty Of our mighty
harvests, won for the feeding of the
world with so little labor that the vast
wheat6elds seem lonely, the smoking
clouds Of chaff and straw blown high
in the air from whirring thrashers, the
great companies of lei and horses
marching to the horizon as the plows
turn side sweeps Of sod to the sun, the
gang drills sowing mile long lacelike
threads over the brown earth where
springs the growing ~crop-these and a
hundred other scenes are fit themes for
any poet. In our fields are no sad mul,
ttudes Of i'll paid, short lived peasants,
crushed and bent by the iniquity Of the
sickle. Why sing the sad song Of the
reaper when a grand, inspiring epic of
the harvesting machine awaits the poet
and painter who can see and under
stand?-Charles Barnard. in Reader.

why the Dollar Of 1904 1. Rar.

Why the Dollar of 1904 II Rare.
There are two stories regarding the
rarity Of the silver dollar Of 1904, the
most generally accepted one being the
one which accounts for the scarcity by
saying that they were sent to Africa to
pay the soldiers engaged in wal be-
tween this country and Tripoli. There
were only 1850 of them coined. An
other version Of the story which ac-
counts for their rarity is that a vessel
bound to China with almost the entire
mintage of that year was lost. The
former story appears to be the most
likely explanation.

Undertaken For Pet Birds.

An old branch Of business conducted
by a New York establishment devoted
to supplying and boarding feathered
pets is that Of bird funerals. Children
who have lost their %canaries or other
songsters through disease or accident
bring the little cadavers there to be
laid out in becoming style.
Tiny collins just large enough for a
bird are kept in stock; also quantities
Of pale pink and blue cotton. The lat
ter Is used for filling the bird coffin,
and on it the bird is laid. The effect
when BRIDES remains are "decently"
composed upon the pink and blue is
excellent, sufficiently so to console the
little mourning master or mistress.
The children then convey their coffin
away for interment. Funeral expenses
are light.-New York Press.

Perfumes have been used from the
earliest times. The burning Of per-

the Hebrew and pagan religions, and
perfumes Of various sorts were used
by nearly all the nations of antiquity.
Both the Romans and the Greeks were
skilled in making perfumery. It was
from the Arabs, who possessed the art
Of preparing perfumed waters, that the
use Of perfumes was introduced into

were engraved the letters 8. F. The
claimant alleged that these letters
