No huge, dim wheels in silent majesty
Like world turning,
No massive walls, no chimneys In the
sky
Smoking and burning,
Only q rough shed In the lonely wood,
An engine creaking.
And yon fanged terror through the soil
tude
All day long shrieking-
That's the sawmill, whirling, shearing,
In Its flashing anger tearing
Gnarled old trunks apart;
Woodland annals, oaken, tender,
Scrolled In homegrown circles slender
AL these nameless years, must render
Now their Utmost heart"
Balsamic odors rise along the air
A sweet-gum mellow
Bleeds on the saw, and breathes per-
fume rare;
The oak, his fellow
In like misfortune, not such kindness
shows
Though the steel wheeling
Through his warm heart, little warmer
grows
i With kindred feeling.
Sodden heaps OF sawdust cumber,
Leaning piles of rawest lumber
Zigzag Ger the ground;
Still the blade goes shaping, swording
Into use the woodlands boarding,
Girder, scantling. beam and boarding.
Four-square, straight and sound.

A strangely pathetic tragedy has
been revealed by the death of a man
In the casual ward Of the Tonbridge
workhouse. The man arrived there in
the prosecution of his search for his
wife, from whom he separated many
years ago, and he died through break
ing blood vessel. He told his story
to the workhouse master, who made
inquiries, and ascertained that on the
same day a woman had died from a
precisely similar cause in the same
workhouse- 1t was the missing wife.
Both bodies are buried In one grave

ports that his department. is working
in their investigation into the six
teenth section depreciation cases, but
that the Investigations are necessarily
slow and surrounded by numerous

Sultan is Sincere.

Tangier-Private letters which
have just reached Tangier from Fee
say that the members of the diplo-
matte corps are of the opinion that
the sultan is sincere in his desire to
prevent an extension of the troubles,

among the advisers. The consuls at
Fee are guarded by troops, but any
attempt on the part of Europeans to
leave the city would be the signal for
a massacre.

Extraordinary Statements are com

Extraordinary statements are con-
tanned in the report respecting the va
rying prices of oil in this country. Il
is pointed out that as the Standard
does business indirectly with the re-
tail dealers, it is in a position to make
different localities and it actually
takes advantages of that position. IL
localities where the Standard has no
competition, it exacts immensely high
er price for its product than it charge
in localities where it is obliged to
meet competition.

Pleasures of Canocjno.

The canoeist is the most Independent
Of men. He can push his craft through
a stream three feet wide ami five
inches deep, and he can safely pego-
tiate any bit OF water that catboat
or moderate sized launch would care
to attempt. Canoeing is popular be-
cause It brings its devotees cut into
the open freedom and let's them live
their summer life as they will. The
canoe does for humanity what the tl
cycle failed to do. The bicyclist was
tied to roads, was dependent upoa ho-
tells and restaurants for food and lodg-
ing. When the hill was steep he must
allght and walk. When the road was
bad or the foot Of the hill dubious he
must do likewise. The canoeist suffers
none Of these restrictions. He carries
with him his place Of abode-his bed,
his food and the means Of preparing it.
He Is not confined to well worn high.
ways. He Is able to penetrate and eX-
plore out Of the way streams and pitch
his tent in spots inaccessible to the
average Misunderstanding.

Big potatoes which weigh as much
as a man are not often seen. A small
consignment OF them, however, has
just been sent off from the West In
dies There were just six potatoes,
and each was large enough to feed a
big family. Yam is the popular name
applied to this variety Of giant sweet
potato. The tubers usually attain a
length of three feet and an average
weight of 80 pounds. Vans weighing.
from 100 to $50 pounds, however, are
by no means uncommon In the West
Indies and other parts of the tropics
where they thrive. In appearance the
yams look much like the ordinary po-
tatoes on a greatly enlarged scale.
They are black or brown externally
and pale within, and are rich in starch.
When boiled they have very pleas
ant flavor.
