A Song of Work.
A charming tale was that of old,
For lazy folks by poets told,
That 'tis Love that makes the world go
and round,
"With never a sound
Over and over,
From Sydney to Dover
go, there we go, till the brain
Here we
reels; -
Now on our heads and now on our heels;
But we know it is not Love at all
That keeps a'going this cosmic ball;
For oh!
'Tis Work that makes the world go round,
And Love only oils the wheels!
Then prate no more of a "primal curse;"
With Eden kept, things might have been
worse;
For 'tis Work that makes the world go
round!
So day by day
"We'll work away,
Plowing and sowing,
Reaping and mowing,
Spinning and weaving and getting of
meals,
Forging and building and laying of keels;
Slaves and prisoners labor; free men dis
dain A word so fraught with crime and pain!
Yet oh!
"Tis hard to make the world go round,
If love do not oil the wheels!
What know they of rest who never work,
But the duties of manhood and womanhood
shirk?
'Tis work that makes the world go round 1
"When work is done
'Tis time for fun
Faiher and mother,
Sister and brother,
Baby and all, with the merriest peals
Greeting the joys home life reveals.
Day s work brings, peace and rest at
night;
" For Work means Duty and Duty is right!
And oh!
'Tis easy to make the world go round.
If love will but oil the wheels!
F. "W. Batchelder.
trances,' in which I knew all that was
going on around me, but from which I
did not seem to care to arouse myself by
moving or speakmg. These periods
lasted longer and longer, but they were
not observed, and as they were rather
pleasant than otherwise I said nothing
about them.
"One morning I awoke from what
seemed to be a natural sleep, and lay
with my eyes closed listening to sounds
that I could not at first interpret; but
slowly the knowledge came to me that
my mother was sobbing beside my bed.
I' tried to ask her why she was grieving,
but- I could not move or speak. The
trance was upon me. I was sensitive,
however, and knew that I was lying upon
a hard substance and not upon the com
fortable mattress of my bed. I could
feel, too, very little covering over me,
and despite my eyelids being down the
gloomy darkness of the room could be
detected. '"Where in the world have
they carried me to?' I thought.
"Presently I heard my mother's voice,
and I knew that she was sneakins to my
cousin Mary, who was staying in the
house with us.
' 'Poor El ma,' " she said. 'I was so
sure that God would spare her to me.
She struggled through that dreadful
illness only to die quietly in her sleep at
last. It is very hard. Mary.'
I have often wondered since that I did

The speaker was Henry P. Sanger,
who leaned back in his chair and puffed
meditatively at his cigar. "I was on

resorts to the pistol or curved sword,
like a Turkish cimetar. Only a few in
stances of fatal duels, even with those,
have occurred at the universities. The
athlaegcr would bo a weak weapon
against a broadsword, or even a cavalry
saber or a navy cutlass. Fighting with
it, the duelists must not move from their
positions, and there is, consequently,
little display of activity of the body.
The blow with the schlaeger is not a cut
or a thrust. It is a cut with only about
one foot of the end of the blade, which
is all of the sword that is sharpened,
and then a twist of the wrist. The wrist
does all the fighting.
There are only five cuts with these
schlaeger for the student to learn. All
the others are variations. The first cut
JUST IN TIME.
"Elma Griffin, died April 15, 1&19, aged 19
years, 4 months and 6 days."'
The words were engraved upon a sil
ver plate, but there was no coffin under
them. Mrs. Purroy, an elderly lady,
visiting friends living on Clinton ave
nue, Aimejaa, out wnose Home is in
Brooklyn, . Y., looked with an air of
mingled pride and reverence upon the
carving, for her name was once Elma
Griffin, and the coffia was made to hold
her remains.
"On my nineteenth birthday, " she
said, "my mother invited a number of
acquaintances to our house to celebrate
the day. "We lived some distance out
, side of "Williamsburg, as it was then,
and the ground was a little soft and
boggy. One of my friends remembered
this as she .was about to start home with
her brother, and she laughingly con
gratulatecLme on being housed already
and having no occasion to brave the
swamp. - I was a wild young girl in
those days, and I declared at once that
I would go with them and return alone.
Everybody present tried to dissuade me
except the girl's brother. "We started,!
and when I reached my friend's house I
waSonscious that my feet were quite
wet, and that a disagreeable chill had
; crept over me, but I declined an invita
tion to go in, and went away at once.
Of course Rob the brother, I mean
came with me, and somehow I forgot
the cold and damp as I walked home.

door-step, for suddenly Rob my escort,
I mean said:" 'Elma, your face is very
pale. Havel kept you standing here
too long?' He talked to me for ten min
utes after that, and then wished me good
night and left me. I rang the bell, and
when my mother opened the door I told
her what I might have known an hour
sooner, if I had given it a thought, that
I was really ill. She hurried me to bed
immediately, and when she cams to call
me the following morning she looked
very anxious. By noon I wa3 delirious,
but I could hear the doctor tell my
mother I had typhoid fever, and that he
could not hold out much hope for my
recovery. I knew that my mother was
weeping, but I was always a selfish girl,
and I could only cry but : 'Robert, Rob
ert! "Where is Robert? and they told
me, hardly thinking that I heard them,
that Robert had been suddenly called
upon to start for California early that
morning, and had not even heard of my
illness. He sent a letter to
ever, but I did not see it until
weeks later.
"I grew rapidly worse, and gradually
the knowledge of all outward thing4
passed from me. I fancy . that I had a
certain consciousness, but' "not of mat
ters around me. I was in another state
of being, in which the person acting and
speaking always strangely speaking
was myself, and yet not myself.. Then
came an utter blauk, from which I awoke
after nearly three weeks of oblivion, to
see my mother and the doctor standing
by my bedside. The doctor said the
; .crisis was past and I should probably re
cover, but I did not feel any interest in
what he was talking about.
"The quiet days of convalescence fol
lowed, and the doctor, seeing that I was
very weak, regarded me seriously, and
warned my mother that a relapse should
be carefully guarded against. I used at
lhat time, too, to fall into curious physi-
cai yuumuuus mat i suppose were
as I realized like a Jightning flash that
they thought I was dead and had put
me in my coffin. They were going to
bury me. I strove hard to speak, but
the sphinx was not more dumb than I.
I tried to stir, but the rock of Gibraltar
might have moved as easily.. Must my
life be smoothered out in a grave for
want of a little speech or action now?'
I thought.
" 'It is hard, indeed, dear aunt,' re
plied Mary, 'but His, will be done. You
must arouse yourself. The undertaker
will close the coffia in a ! few minutes.
Do you think Robert Mr. Purroy will
be here?'

the name of Dr. Mary "Walker through
out the land. She flew about on the
wharf issuing peremptory orders to the
porters, the ship's officers and, in fact,
everybody within reach of her voice.
She was accompanied by a tall, lank in
dividual of uncertain age, with oiled
locks which hung over his shirt collar,
and a carefully waxed mustache, the
ends of which were reduced to a point
fine enough to thread a needle. He con

arrived at home yesterday, but he did ,

the world, I think, who loved poor
Elma as dearly as I did.' . j

door. "Was it Robert? No, it was only

in professionally mournful but very busi

"Nobody but myself knew that my

crowded, and concluded to go to the
after deck and smoke until the crowd
had thinned out. Smoking was not pro
hibited on the after deck, but we found a
couple of ladies there, and so asked their
permission before lighting our cigars.
"We smoked and chatted away there for
several minutes when the rasping voice
of Mary "Walker fell upon our ears.
"Throw those nasty cigars away!
"We smokedVn, pretending not to
have heard the command, when the voice
sounded more emphatic. I want you
men to throw those nasty cigars away
at once. They arc offensive.
"My companion bowed toward the
' two ladies near by and inquired, 'Is our
smoking offensive, ladies?"
4"Oh, no, no,' they expostulated,
'keep your cigars, gentlemen.'
"We renewed our conversation and
calmly smoked away. The doctor grew
warm. 'Men don't smoke,' sho ex

a nose was sliced off completely, and
had to be sewed on again. Two more
cuts are directed at the right and left
sides of the face. These blows may lay
open the cheek, cut out the teeth, cut
the lips off or touch the noe, as the
schlaeger is made of such thin steel
that it bends around like a whip when
a hit is made. Another, and the most
difficult hit to make, is an under cut,
aimed at the chin and mouth. It may
do great mischief to all the lower part of
the face, but it cannot touch the jugu

weapon of olle-nsc, without any great

and endurance as the only certificates of
honor.

Flight of live Albatross.
' An instance of the powers of flight
possessed by these untiring birds is af
forded by the fact that the same indi
viduals, distinguished by some peculiar
ity of plumage, may be observed 'ac
companying the ship day after day. We
have never seen them fly by nicht. and
as a vessel in the Southern Ocean often
makes twelve to thirteen knots an hour,
these birds may have had to recover
after daybreak as much as 150 knots, or
175 statute miles. Probably no power
of wing wherewith a bird could be en
dowed would serve, without the faculty
of sailing, for the albatross' journey of
10,000 leagues. During the transient
time of breeding he repairs to land, but
his home is the wide world. It is a
trite remark that dancing is the poetry
of motion. The valse is its languishing
love lyric; quadrille, gavotte and min
or chews tobacco.'
"This was delivered with an attempt
at oratorical effect that was really laugh
able." "Sir," began my friend.
" 'Don't sir me,' screamed the now
excited woman. 'I am Dr. Mary "Wal

that you don't know my sex.
"Well, then, madame, I just want to
Eay right here that I have a mother. I
also have a wife and five children. Some

seven other aunts, and the last time I
counted I had thirty-nine female cousins.
My sweethearts arc as numerous as the
heavens, and I kiss 'cm every chance I
get. I have chewed tobacco like a yet
cran for forty-seven years and I smoke
whenever I feel like it."
"The doctor danced around like a bug
on a hot griddle. At this juncture the
ship's steward appeared upon the scene.
She laid hand upon that official and de
manded that 'those dirty loafers' be re
quired to throw their cigars away.
" 'But smoking is allowed on the after
deck,' expostulated the steward.
'"You are no gentleman, so there,
now,' replied the great Mary.
' Til send the captain,' said the stew
ard, alertly withdrawing from the doc
tor's grasp, 'perhaps he'll fix matters to
suit you.
"Presently the captain appeared. He
quietly listened to a repetition of Dr.
Walker's tirade and the volunteer ex
planations of about fifty passengers who
had by this time surrounded as, and then
I quietly laid his hand upon her shoulder.

Snow-shed , to cover the railway
track, have been built at points on the
Central Pacific Road whrr it cm.c tho
Sierras. As the trains !ound Kit leave
Emigrant Gap they run through one
continuous thed for thirty-nine mile.
The purpose of the sheds is to prevent
the track from lciug buried under fall
ing and drifting snow. Thcv secure
this end, but are themclvcs the occa
sion of great inconvenience, such as
the noise, the loss of view, and the coo
fining of the smoke to the train.
There is nothing peculiar in the con
struction of these sheds which have to
support only the burden of the snow.
But on the line of the Canadian Pacific
Road, where the road crosses the Rocky
Mountains, sheds of a different construc
tion are needed. Before the road was
com pie tea, observations to tne moun
tains showed that avalanches must be
provided against. A single avalanche
covered the track for a distance of one
thousand three hundred feet, and to the
depth of fifty feet. The result of these
observations was that the company con
structed four and a half miles of snow
sheds at an enormous expense.
The sheds arc constructed as follows:

the shed, and on the t pp-xite side of the
track, a timber trestle is erected, strong
timber beams are laid from the top of
the crib-w&rk to the top of tho trestle,
four feet apart, and at an angle repre

nearly as possible.
These arc covered over with four-inch
planking, ami the beams arc braced on
either side from the trestle and from
the crib. The covering is placed at
such a height as to give twenty-one feet

beam to the centre of the track. The
longest of these sheds is thirty-seven

Some agricultural papers are discuss
ing tho comparative digestibility of but
er. The old-fashioned idea taught ia
the books many years ago was that pure
butter was wholly indigestible, that ia
large masses it was melted by the
warmth of the stomach and operated as
so much oil until it pa'vd ff with other
food. That, howfvr. wasmi'nly theory.
Iq practice it is found 1 1 a piece of
bread with lutUr i- iv tnnt palates so
much better relished than one without
that it digests more quickly. The di
gestibility depends cntirvly on the in
creased saliva that good butter is sup
posed to create. The butter then is
therefore most digrMiblu thst is best
liked. Very bad butter fiiltiU the old
idea, and is not digctiblo at ail. Bos

Americans traveling abroad are often
laushed at for their passion of rapid
sight seeing. But why may not the
brain take impressions as swiftly and as

lady of a gentleman who had just come

The lady of course was astonished, and
the respondent proceeded to explain.
"To study all the details or the cxhibi.

to seize upon its salient feature, fifteen
minutes would do wonders for you. A
