The old home in the valley
The dearest spot know
Memories dear still niger there
of loved ones long ago.
In my heart. fosd memories
OF the old htme yet remain.
But those voices ever dear to me
shall never hear again.
And ola day Of sorrow
OF the time had to part
With the dear ones from the old home
1t fingers round my heart
On the old porch. sitting there,
Beautiful faces and silvered hair
OF the dear ones. How loved them,
And scarce keep back the tears
AS think now of the old home
And all those happy years
have said goodbye to the homestead
Passed the last time thro' the door
OF the old home in the valley.
So cherished and loved Of yore.

 "To keep the iron and steel used in building big ships from rusting," said an engineer, "is a matter of supreme importance. The admiralty is very particular that every piece shall be painted the moment it is ready fol building purposes. But the steel plates form hard black surface, called mill scale,' in the process of manufacture. This clings tenaciously to the plate, and if it is covered with paint and afterward the plate gets damaged then the scale peels off, taking the paint with 1t, and leaving the steel bare. The plate is then liable to rust corrosion, serious danger to the ship.
 "We therefore remove every trace of scale before painting the steel plate. It is put into a bath of dilute hydro chloric acid for few hours, which loosens the scale. The plate is then brushed with wire brushes and wash ed with hose. This is what we call picking steel '"-London Answers.
 Count the Times a Horse Rollo.
 To see a horse when out at pasture IAC dLu cnucdNOIIAk to turn over on his back is a common sight, but how many people have nO- ticed that in doing this he observes an invariable rule? The rule is that he always rolls over either at the first or third attempt-never at the second and more than three attempts are never made. In other words, if the horse succeeds in rolling over at the first try, well and good-that satisfies him. But if the first attempt is fail ure the second one always is. Then he either rolls quite over at the third or gives it up. He never makes fourth. If horses are rolling on slop- ing ground they usually roll uphill. This is more easy of explanation than the strange custom regulating the number of attempts. AS to this no adequate reason has ever been offered. Will those ingenious people who tell us why dog turns around before lying down and why ducks walk behind each other in string instead of abreast explain why horse never makes four attempts to roll over and never succeeds at the second?-Ex- change .. 5z-..

 There is in Poulton Old Hall a mys. terious locked room which has never been opened except by a representa- tive of the Green family. The hall and its lands have sometimes been let, but the Green familyeehave always retain ed possession of this mysterious room. which is supposed to contain several relies and other family treasures. It is said that the last tenant, a prominent Mersey shipowner, would have given them an increased rent for it if he could have had access to it or could have cleared away the mysterious con- tents. but the owners refused to give up possession. and so the tenant left
