PRISONERS OF LOVE.

A garrett window, out Of plumb,
Three raveled heads above the sill
Ten years, perhaps, their ages sum
Three prisoners against their will
Their widow mother knows no rest:
Her toll must claim her all the day;
Her three black brides In the nest
Must pass the time as best they may.
They grieve a moment, while her key
Grinds In the hmsy lockout then
Once at the widow. there viii be
famous snow of things and men,
An auction bell, a movers van
With household gear in periled pile;
The swagger of the Sandwich man
With wooden coat and painted smiles
The wee fat noses hatter grow
Their startled breathing clouds the pane
That blast of horns, that scarlet glow.
Whatt Has the circus come again?
No, but a monster strange and rare
In this poor byway comes to view
A dazed, yet happy. thoroughfare
The snorting motor flashes through.
But now the street lights dot the mist;
Two slender pointers halve the clock,
The baby's eye has met his INST.
When comes a rattle at the lock.
The weary mother stoops TO lay
Each rayeled head upon breast
All warm to him who ker all day
Her three dark fiedglings in the nest.

Chrome Mining in Asia.

For many years past chrome mining
has been pursued as an industry in Asia
Minor The chrome is usually found on
mountains from four to five thousand
feet high. and is removed from the pits
to the railway station or market on the

while chrome in the neighborhood Of
Smyrna brought f20 ton, it now COM
