A NEGLECTED GRAVE.

Down In the CRIME and smoke Of a
great city. the city Of Baltimore. there
II . quiet grave In an overgrown
church yard. The grave is marked
with simple stone and upon 1t are
the lichen-covered letters which can
scarcely be read---Edgar Allan Poe.
For once such a grave seems ap-
propriate. For, when the heavy fog
rolls up from the basin Of the harbor
envelopinE all the lower town with the
CHASTITY mist and the amethyst rays
Of the electric arc lamp on the corner
hltsr through it they light up the
furnished marble with an uncanny
mystic light. It is fitting setting
for the resting place Of teller Of
weird tales and a host Of unhealthy
fancies. It would be poper enough to
inscribe his name In golden letters
ON some vast pile-but his body should
ever remain In its sombre solitude. It
WAS the accident of environment
which deprived Poe for many years Of
his rightful recognition in this coun-
try-leaving It to foreign critics to dis
born and reared In Concord he would
have in all probability been at once
acclaimed al tho first American poet.
But Poe could not have lived in the
frigid atmosphere Of Concord, his
abode on earth mattered little. For as
he said:
III I could dwell
Where ISRAELI
Hath dwelt, and he where I,
He might not sing SO wildly well
A mortal melody,
While holder note than this
might swell
From my Tyre within the sky
Among the centennials of this noble
gear is the Poe's, which falls on Jan
uary 19-today. There will be a
gudging tribute paid his memory by
those who still believe the tales which
maligned the sweet singer Of other
worlds and the teller OF uncanny
imaginative tales of this earth.

The Lords Prayer on a Pin.

Probably We have all heard of one.
dollar gold pieces with the Lord 8
Prayer engraved on one side. Several
years ago these were worn by many
as watch charms. Occasionally even
now one may be seen thus worn.
Such minute engraving may we'll be
considered skilful work.
But recently this has been made to
seem, at least by comparison, quite a
simple matter, because Mr.. William
l.. Start, a young man engaged in
business in New York City, has per.
formed the seemingly impossible feat
of engraving the entire Lords Prayer
on the head of an ordinary pin, to
which he has added his name and the
year, making altogether 276 letters
and figures.
Mr.. Start did the work at odd
times during his regular employment,
and with very ordinary tools, which
seemingly are not adapted to such
fine engraving. The pin was set in
a block of wood, and a common en-
gravers tool was used. A simple
microscope, costing only about twen-
ty-five cents. and known as "linen
tester" furnished the necessary mag
nifying Mature and Sci
snce," in st. Nicholas.

Long, long ago, so McCalls Mag
Azine says, knight went to consult
a certain famous wizard, and the con-
versation naturally drifted to occult
subjects generally. 'And art thou
learned also in the magic of num-
bers?" asked the knight. SHOW me
but one sample of thy wit in these
matters"
The old wizard took FIVE blocks
bearing numbers. and placed them
on shelf, apparently at random, SO
that they stood in the order OF
9 6. He then took in his hands
an and 3, and held them together
to form the number SO.
Sir knight, tel! me-" said the
wizard, "canst thou multiply one
number into the other in thy mind?"
Nay, OF a truth" the good knight
replied, Il should need to set out
upon the task with pen and scrip"
yet mark ye how right easy a
thing it is to a man learned in the
lore of far Araby, who knoweth all
the magic that is hid in the philos-
ophy of numbers"
The wizard simply placed the 3 in
his hand next to the on the shelf.
and the s at the other end. 1t will
be found that this gives the answer
quite correctly-3 1 09G s.

RONwORKERs' SUPERSTITION.
Pretty Girl to Fire an Old Stack That
Has Been Blown Out.

One of the prettiest ceremonies
for years was the blowing in" OF the
Soho furnace, the oldest stack of the
Jones & Laughlin Steel Company,
after an idleness of several months.
1t was all due to an old superstition
among ironworkers. To insure luck
a pretty woman should fire furnace
stack that had been blown cut for
any cause.
This superstition has resulted In
a custom, and so yesterday the old
stack was fired by beautiful young
woman In manner as charming and
dainty as If she had been hostess at a
social function instead OF in the pres
ence Of giant SCOT begrimed furnace
stack and with the greater part of the
workers in their shirt sleeves.

formed the act OF putting the sacred
fire" to the old stack, and as she did
so a great shout Of good cheer and
approval went up from the onlookers.
Let this be the flaming signal for
the lighting of the fires of industry
over all the broad land!" she ex.
claimed as she applied the torch.
Now, this torch was of no ordinary
sort. It's long staff was wound with
red, white and blue ribbons and fes-
tooned with knots of other colors.
Miss MacClosky was accompanied by
her mother and Miss Gregg. Prepara.
tions had previously been made at the
"notch" of the furnace for the firing.
After the torch had been applied to
the oiled waste and flame started
furnacemen came running with other
torches, lighted them with the
sacred fire" and hurried from tower
to tower, firing the materials In the
furnace at a dozen points. The cere-
mony was then complete. Nothing
but good luck may be expected at the
furnace now. - Pittsburg Gazette.

said they would go on. Ten minutes later
Pilgrim said Good God, Procope, look at

They took to their heels, Pilgrim leading,
