African lions are bigger, better look

statement of a menagerie man. and
we are willing to take his word for it.
He says that no lion will attack man
unless it is made desperate by hunger
or hurt by bad shot. A wild lion
will usually look at a man and then
walk away and leave him. We are will

l am weary of the garden,

1 am weary of the garden,
| Said the rose;
For the winter winds are signing,
All my playmateS round me dying,
And my leaves will soon be lying
| Meath the SHOWS.
But l hear my mistress coming
| Said the rose;
| She will take me to her chamber,
Where the honeysuckles Chamber,
And I'll bloom there all December,
Spite the SHOWS.
Sweeter fell her lily finger
Than the bee;
All how feebly l resisted,
Smoothed my thorns and e'en assisted,
As, all bIushing l was twisted
Of my tree.
Then she fixed me in her bosom
Like star;
And l flashed there all the morning,
Jasmine, hOneysuckle scOrning,
Parasites, forever fawning.
That they are.
When the evening came she set me
In vase,
All of rare and radiant metal.
And felt her red lips settle
On my leaves, till each proud petal
Touched her face.
And shone about her slumbers
Like light;
And l said, instead of weeping
In the garden, vigil keeping
Here I'll watch my mistress sleeping
Every night.
When the morning, with It's sunbea ms,
Softly shone,
In the mirror where she braided
Her brown hair, saw how jaded,
Old and colOrless and faded
/ had grown.
Not drop of dew was on me,
Never one;
From my leaves no OdOrS started
All my perfume had departed;
l lay pale and brOken-hearted
In the sun.
Still, ! said, her smile is better
Than the rain;
Tho my fragrance may forsake me,
To her bosom she will take me,
And with crimson kisses make me
Young again.
Then she took me-gazed second
hdll olku-
Then, alas can hearts SO harden?
Without ever asking pardon,
Threw me back into the garden,
There to die.
How the iea lOus garden glOried
In my fall
How the hOneysuckles child me,
How the sneering jasmine bid me
Lift the long gray grass that hid me
Like pail
There lay beneath the window
In a SwOOn,
Till the earth worm o ef me trailing
Woke me just at twilight's failing,
As the whlppOorwill was wailing
To the moon.
But hear the storm winds stirring
In their lair;
And l know they soon will lift me
In their giant arms and sift me
Into ashes as they drift me
Through the air.
So pray them, in their mercy,
Just to take
From my heart of hearts, or near it,
The last living leaf and bear it
To her feet, and bid her wear it
For my sake.

DEMONSTRATIONS IN MAKING OF SILL

Norfolk, July 22.-On the space OF
the government bureau at the James
town exposition visitors may see the
various operations required In the pro-
duction of either gold or silver coins.
/ The coinage of money is a process
involving large variety of operations,
and on account of the small tolerance
which the government allows, both in
weight and fineness, special care must
be taken to btain accurate ad djustment
of the machinery.
Tolerance in the variations in weight
is allowed by law from a given stand
ard. There is less tolerance allowed
for gold than silver.
To accurately weigh these coins the
government has spent years in expert
mentiDg, and have finally perfected a
machine which is considered absolute.

for the first time by the treasury de-

the machine was built,)

The melting furnaces. the tempera-

In the first operation, and here the
metal is cast into ingots and washed
in dilute solution of sulphuric acid,
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced from one half
of an inch to elghty-fiv thousandths
of an inch. This mill is operated by
fifty horsepower motor. After rolling,
the strips are heated in the strip an
healing furnace to soften them for the
cutter, and cooled again by use of wat.
er spray.
After the strips are cut out to their
proper length bv the multiple shears,
they are blanked by the cutting press,
running at q strokes per minute. The
blanks are then upset in order to have
enough metal at the edge of the border
of the finished medallion. This tends
