WHO KNOWS ?
BY E. A. B.
Who knows, who knows
For what the wind bloWs ?
To scatter the rose-leaves sweet,
0r rent and wreck a fleet ?
To rock a bird on a bough,
Or break a heart and vow ? '
Whether it blow from North or South.
T0 or from the harbor’s mouth,
Whether it‘blow from East or West,
Who knows why, and which is best?
Who knows, who knows
Why the tide ebbs or flows?
If it go out or come in,
What it shall lose or win?
What it doth seek on its quest?
What secret bring back in its breast?
Ever the old sea song is sung,
Never a human ear or tongue
Understands it, or' may tell;
Yet it may breathe from the heart of shell.
Who knows, who knows
Why a life comes or goes?
Why its thread is with others crost
Or tangled, broken and lost ?
Woven in weftage gay, '
Or with warp and woof of gray ? '
Whether are better, smiles or tears ?
Whether are truer, hopes or fears ?
Whether is sweeter, joy or pain ?
What is loss, and what is gain ?
Up above him in His grand repose
One sees it all, and He knows. ‘

What would undoubtedly have been a fatal
accident was averted Tuesday by the courage
and presence of mind displayed ‘by engineer
Kingsley of the Housatonic road. He runs
the up express train leaving Bridgeport at
10:10 a. in. About half a mile south of Lee,
Tuesday, he discovered a child two or three
years of age on the track ahead. He at once
whistled down brakes. and they were ap-
plied. 'l'he train slowed up, but the engineer
saw it was not going to stop in time to avoid
striking the child, and he accordingly jumped
from the locomotive, ran ahead and caught
the little girl just as the pilot touched her.
She was unharmed.

Connecticut indorses Garfield heartily, not
only because of his sterling personal and
political integrity, but because as a child of
the western reserve, an original possession
of this state, out of which has grown our
magnificent school system, which has made
it possible for the poorest child to become
great in knowledge and wealth, he is almost
a protege of Connecticut.

Woman ARTISTS IN NEW Yonx.—It is not
to our purpose to speculate on what woman
might be,but to describe what she is; and at
the same time it is worth while quoting the
opinion of Mrs. Susan N. Carter, who for
many years has been principal of the Cooper
Union Art School, and who, though enter-
taiuing a far-reachingsympathy with her sex,
is not a visionary as to its capabilities. Mrs.
Carter told us that when professional artists
are brought in contact with the pupils, and
see their work and earnestness, these gentle—
men predict the most brilliant futures for
them, and confess to the discovery of unsus-
pected strength in them. But her own exper-
ience is that the “sticking-point”comes to the.
woman too soon. While she is in a class,with
her teacher, in the studio, or associated with
other students, she is animated,perservering,
and full of ideas. But when she is left to
herself, her interest flags, and she wavers in
her aim. 0f the women graduates Mrs. Car-
ter estimates that only one-third ever become
professional artists or teachers. Of the other
two-thirds, one-third marry, and the others
are undetermined as to their course.
The Cooper Union school is entitled to
consideration here, as it enables most of the
students to support themselves,and is to some
extent a bureau of employment to women in
art industries. The instruction is wholly
gratuitous, and was given last year to two
hundred and fifty-five pupils. Some of the
graduates are employed as teachers of draw-
ing, receiving from a dollar to two dollarshn
hour for their lessons; others are engaged as
designers in carpet factories, wallpaper fac-
iies,and in designing embroideries. There is
a constant demand for teachers of drawing
in schools and families, and most of the stu—
dents qualify themselves for these positions;
but there are other openings also, and many
employers come to the Union in search of
women who can decorate pottery, silk, fans,
menus, and buttons. The fashion of decor-
ating by hand,which has extended to buttons
and ribbons as well as to flower baskets and
bridal dresses, may prove evanescent, and
with itextinction leave many women with—
out an occupation who now have a profitable
one, but there will be a demand for teachers
as long as the population increases and intel»
llgence spreads. As we have said, those of
the pupils to whom it is necessary can sup-
port themselves at least during part of the
cohrse, and fifteen thousand dollars were re-
ported to the principal as being earned last
year by teaching, enlarging photographs,and
decorating. The art school includes a class in
engraving, with an average attendance of
twenty-two, and in this also some of the pn-
pils are enabled to partly support themselves,
though not until they have been under in-
struction for some time. As a profession,
engraving is admirably suited to women. A
competent hand can earn from fifteen to
twenty-five dollars a week, and even twice
the latter sum in the higher branches of the
profession, which call for artistic ability far
above mechanical aptitide, and, which have
many vacancies to be filled—WILLIAM II.
RliiNe, in Harper‘s for June.
. Mr. Warton Barker of Philadelphia, and
others sail for Russia this week on an im-
portant‘mission. Mr. Barker says the Rus-
sian Government has proposed certain con-
cessions to him, which cover the building of
a railroad from the coal fields of southern
Russia to the Sea of Azof. The object of
constructing this railroad is for the develop—
ment of the coal fields and grain sections of
the empire, and to supply an outlet for a vast
extent of territory which is 'now entirely un-
developed. Another object is the establish-
ment of a great shipping port or terminus on
the Sea of Azof similar of Odessea on the
Black Sea. Also the development and oper-
ation of coal mines, both anthracite and semi-
bituminous, at the northern end of the rail—
road, and the construction of works
for the manufacture of Bessemer :steel,
merchant iron and agricultural imple-
ments. The intention of :Mr. Barker
and his party is to go direct to southern
Russia and make an extended inspection of
the country. After this is finished thep will
proceeed to St. Petersburg, confer with the
Government authorities, and give their final
decision as to undertaking the proposed
work. Mr. Barker says the great point the
Russians make in their negotiations with
them is that they want to introduce the
American system of mining, manufactures,
and railroad management.

The right of a State to make “drummers"

privilege if upheld by two recent decisions.
In Nevada 8. license fee of twenty-five dollars
a month for selling in the State-is demanded’
and the United States Circuit Court invacasc
brought before it held that this statuejina'de
no unlawful discrimination against ‘ the citi-
zens of other States or against the'products
of other States. It simply imposed a tax on
the occupation of all traveling merchants,
agents or drummers, without reference to
where their goods were made. Itlapplies to
the citizens and products of Navada just the
same as it does to those of other States,
Hence, there was no constitutional objection
to it. In Tennessee a law exists requiring
“all pcddlers of sewing machines and selling
by sample to pay a specified license," and in
accordance with it a tax ‘of fifteen dellars
.was imposed on the agent of the Howe Sew—
ing Machine company. The company paid
the tax under protest, and went to law to test
the constitutionality of the statute. The Su-
preme Court of Tennessee held that the tax
was levied on all peddlers of sewing machines
alike, without regard to the place where the
machines or their materials were made or
produced, and that, therefore, the law was
valid. This decision is sustained by the
United States Supreme Court.

It is interesting to note to what extent the
doctrines of evolution are taught in our high-
er institutions of learning. In a paper upon
the “Critics of Evolution," in the May and
J uue numbers _of the American Naturalist,
Prof. Lippincott says that at Harvard every
professor whose departments are connected
biology-such as Gray, Whitney,A. Agassiz,
Hagen, Goodale, Shaler, Farlow and Faxon
—is an evolutionist, and man’s physical
structure they regard as no real exception to
the law. They are said to be theists and all
conservative men. At John Hopkins Uni-
versity, which aims to be the most advanced
in the country, evolution is held and taught.
In the University of Pennsylvania all the
biographical professors are evolutionists—
Leidy, Allen, Rothrock and Parker. At
Yale, Michigan University, Brown, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Princeton, the bio—
logical professors are all in the same cate-
gory. Whenever there is a working nat-
uralist he is sure to be, almost without excep-
tion an evolutionist.
The plant most sensible to electricity is
the vine. .When lightning strikes in a vine-
yard the leaves .affected are turned red-
brown or deep green, which circumstance
shows, in the opinion or Prof. Colladon, that
the electricity descends in a sheet or shower
and not in a single point as is usually be-
lieved, the large number of vines touched
proving that the lightning has covered a
large area. The professor finds this theory
confirmed by an observation on a tree which
was lately struck.
Prof. Milne has found, the Japanese to be
very keen, archaeologists. They have made
numerous valuable collections of stone im-

jects are freaks of nature.
CULTURE OF STaawnirulzias.—Strawberry
vines require a rich, dry, and mellow soil,
and thorough mulching. This is all that
good bearing vines need to produce an abund-
ance of fruit. Keep poultry away from the
vines in the former part of the growing sea—
son, as they ,will “pick all the buds out,’,
and destroy the crop of fruit. Do not allow
a hoe nor any other :tool that will mutilate
the roots, to he used near the hills, until
after the crop has been gathered. Many
péople have all their strawberries destroyed
by poultry, and by hoes; and then lay the
failure to the variety. Let the ground be
mulched early in the spring, .with straw or
coarse manure, or anything that willkeep
the ground moist and keep the grass and
weeds from growing. Get plants from a bed
that bears; and the vines will be sure to
yield the fruit. For many seasonsIcould
never raise strawberries, simply because the
hens devoured all the fruit producing buds.
Strawberry plants set properly in the spring
will grow and flourish as easily as a potato
patch, while those set in the latter part of
summer require the utmost care to keep them
alive, by supplying moisture and shade to
protect them from the scorching sun. Next
spring the few plants that may have stood
the unnatural treatment will be smothered
in a rank growth of grass, that will require
more labor and expense to keep down, than
would grow on the weakly plants thus
treated. Strawberries planted in the fall
require so much more labor and attention to
make them succeed than when planted in the
spring that it can be only recommended when
the object is to obtain some new and choice
variety, the value of which will compensate
for the extra care required to grow a few
plants out of season.

The Devastating Army Wei-iii.
The army worm has made its appearance
on Staten Island, much to the dismay of
farmers, who regard this new pest as a Worse
enemy than the potato bug. The worm was
attacking the wheat, rye and corn fields, and
has done considerable damage already. . The
. worm was first discovered in the interior of
the island, on the farm of David Tyson. In
fighting this new pest the farmers are sup—
plying the same remedies which they have
used to destroy the potato bags, but with
poor success. The worm does its work of
destruction more completely than the bug.
The army worn: has spread to every part
of Long Island, and is doing great damage
in the wheat and-corn fields. Hundreds of
acres of corn have been ploughed up, and as
many as forty worms found in a hill. In
Nthown they have swarmed over a thousand
acre farm of the late Arcan Backus. and
recently they were found on several farms at
Jamaica.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
lst. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im~
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reset-v:
ing'the’ best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Looxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and. durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED iNsiDa,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables Us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling witho'ut danger of the
Safe’s being damp. A11 corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre~
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
RANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, aa‘ was fully proved l at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that weruuccessful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority. of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could .Im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap 'safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we' know how to
produce. .-° 1nd for descriptive catalogue.

ODE TO A CLAM.
W. A. CROFFUT.
Sphinx of the fragrant sand! "
Thou art the stony emblem of rgpose,
Terrestrial tpye of silence and stability—
Though thou possessest little versatility,
Or eke agility,
Within thy saline cave upon the strand,
Thou standest on thy toes
And gazeth through thy porthole at the grand
Procession of the stars. '
And shuddcrest at the elemental wars—
Thou tender-hearted teacher of humility!
O, Offspring of the wedded land and sea,
From worldly worry thou art free.
Born of the cdorous shore,
Where bland September smiles,
And sweetening breezes blow from spicy .
. isles,
Where summer suns are glowing,
And back and forth the fragrant wave is
flowing 1
All favored forces blend,
That earth, or sea, or sky can lend
To give to man this stone imprisoned torso,
This savory morccaul
How very thankful, then, we ought to be,
0, clam, .
That evolution hath engendered thee——
I am.
Grappling with a. Skunk.
A Wcthersficld man volunteered to get a
skunk out from under a barn, providing he
could have the animal for pay. And under
the barn he went. In a moment the neigh—
bors knew that the man and skunk had met.
This was evident from the exclamations of the
intrepid skunk hunter as he thumped the an-
imal against the floor timber. “Take that
gol darn ye. And that, and that,” and as an
acc0mpaniment to the Words, the dull “thud,"
“thud,” of the skunk against the timber was
heard. Then he laid the animal down, dead,
as be supposed. He sang out, “I’ve got the
cuss as dead as a herring.” In a moment,
however,those on the outside heard the voice
under the barn muttering: “Durn yer pic—
tur’? Ain’t yer dead yet? Take this, durn,
yer. You’ve got more lives than a cat.”
Then a heavy "thud” was heard, and a. voice
in a complacent tone remarked, "I guess
that fetched yer.” And it did. The
dead skunk was brought out as a trophy
and singular to relate, the man showed no
more signs of the encounter than would
naturally arise from contact with a rat.
There are men who would about as soon on-
counter a grizzly bear in a band-to-hand fight
as to meet a skunk without gloves—Hart-
ford Times.
“BELOW PAR."—“That reminds me of a
little anecdote,” is what every bright man
has heard over and over again as his memory
has been jogged by some one’s telling a good
story. When goodstories and ready repar—
tees are going on, one witty little thing is
sure to suggest another. Thus we thought,a
day or two since, when reading in an evening
paper, that Charles Sumner was no musician,
and that a lady friend once told him that if he
was to buy a music-box set to “Old Hun-
dred," she did not believe that he could
make it play “more than seventy-five." It
was doubtless something in the same vein
that prompted old Mrs. Rothschild, when
ninety-seven, to say to her physician, “Doc—
tor, you must keep me up for three years
more at least; it would be discreditablc for
a Rothschild to go off under par.”——Har-
~ 17er Magazine.

Joy of his joy and life of his life;
