Who hath seen the summer parlor of the king?
Lovely and lofty, shut from View:
\Valled with green and ceilinged with blue:
Round aboutit the singers sung;
Rose and lily their odors flung.
' I myself that speak unto you-—
I have seen the summer parlor of the king.
Who sat in the summer parlor of the king-—
liis custom of an afternoon; .
\Vhen summer came, when earth was boon:
\Vhen round about his singers sung,

\Vhen summer came, when all was J uric??-
The king! in the summer parlor of the king.
Lol this was the summer parlor of the king.
Made fit for him and fashioned fair.

Seemed writ round the walls in jeweling;
For I myself have seen them there——

The Expansion of Solid Bodies.
An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field of a mi-,
croscope and an image of it magnified s . . . . .
several times is thrown 011 a screen. g W111 exhibita chome lmegof
’ This image is further magnified by two
micrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substance is heated 71.1 :1. little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the tempera“ . of the oven
is arrived at by Observations on the
melting of standard substances. By the
use of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smalllest diamond can be determined un-
til the temperature of combustion is
reached—Exchange. '
Keeping Up His Reputation.
Wife—I think it‘s too bad you should
throw away money on such expensive
umbrellas. You are always losing them. -
Why don’t you get cheap ones?‘~
Husband—Huh! That’s all you wom-
en~ ‘know about business. Do you sup-
pose I want to advertise the fact that

various sources or Silk.
Silk worms are not the sole source of
the production of silk; it is also obtained
from several vegetable substances, but
of an inferior and less durable descrip-
tion. Excellent colored silk is obtained
from the prepared and finer fibers of the
bamboo, which is much in demand for
clothing in tropical countries from .its
lightness and porosity. Another fern; 6f
silk is obtained from the pods of the silk
cotton tree, of which there are several
Varieties in existence, the material Ob-
tained from them being known as vege-
table silk.—Brooklyn Eagle.
It All Depends.
"‘How long,” says a contemporary,
“can one live without air?”
_ It depends on the air. Most people
could live along time without some of
the airs which have been popular during
the last twelvemonth.—Exchange.
No Reference to Allusions.
She—You are always sneering at wom-
en who talk too much. Are you hitting
it me? '
He—-—Not at all. There are lots of
women besides you who talk too much.

An Example of Resignation.
M. Pasteur is devoted to his studies
and to his family. It was a. terrible
blow to him when his daughter married
and left for her new home, but he could
console himself after a. fashion of his
own. ' ,
“We11,”he said after she was gone,
with along sigh but with a gleam of
comfort dawning in his eyes, “at least
I shall be able now to devote myself to
typhoid fever.”——Youth’s Companion.

- Successful Frauds. ‘
It is over two years since 17 Egyptian
mummies in the old museum of Berlin
proved to be the bodies of fellows who a
short time ago took their beer in the sa~
icons of the capital of the empire of
William II. It is now believed that there
is not a museum in th'e world that has
not been imposed upon by frauds of this
kind—St. Louis Republic.
Plenty of Orphans.
“What a mendacious'duffer you are, -
Phibbsl” said Dibbs. "You said this was
an orphan asylum, instead of which it is
an old men’s home.”
“Well, you go in and look for an old
man who isn’t an orphan. You won’t
find .him.”—Exchange.

Caused by
Catarrh in the Head
Catarrh is a CONSTITUTIONAL disease,
and requires a CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDY
like Hood‘s Sarsaparilla to cure it. Read :
“Three years ago, as a result of catarrh, I
entirely lost my hearing and was deaf for more
than a year. I tried various things to cure it,
and had several physwians attempt It, but no
improvement was apparent. . I could distin-
guish no sound. 1 was Intending putting
myself under the care of a speelalist when
some one suggested that possmly Hood’s Sar-
saparilla would do me some good. I began
taking it Without the expectation of any lasting
help. To In Surprise and rent joy I foun
when I had alien three bott es that my hear-
in was returning. I kept on till I had
taken three more. It 15 now over a. year and I
can hear perfccsly well. I am troubled but
very little w1th the catarrh. I consider this a
remarkable case, and cordially recommend.

CONCERNING DYNAMITE.
Several Million Dollars Invested in- [to
Manufacture in the United/States.
Very few people have a correct idea of
What dynamite is, of what it is made,
and the uses to which it is put. To the
French belongs the honor of its discovery
and its practical use.
Nitro-glycerineis the force of all high
explosives. Dynamite is the name most
usually given to these explosives, though
‘ other names are sOmetimes used.
- Dynamite is simply nitro—glyccrine
mixed with various ingredients. Nitro-
glycerine is made by mixing sulphuric
and nitric acid with sweet glycerine, the
same that is used by the ladies to pre~
vent chapped hands. Mixing the acids
and glycerine is where the great danger
lies in the making of nitro-glycerine.
The mixing tank, or agitator, as it is
called by dynamite makers, is a large
steel tank, filled inside with many coils
of lead. pipe, through which, while the
mixing is in progress, a constant flow of
ice water is maintained. This flow of
ice water is used to keep the temperature
of the mix below eighty-five degrees, as
above that point it would explode, and
a. hole in the ground would mark where
the factory had been. The nitro-glyce-
rine is stored in large earthenware tanks,
which are usually sunk in the ground to
guard against blows or severe concus-
icon.
The other ingredients for making
dynamite are: Nitrate of soda, which is
found only in Chili, carbonate of mag-
nesia-rand wood pulp.
Dynamite is put in paper shells usual-
ly 1 1-4 inches in diameter and 8 inches
in length, and weighs about one-half
pound to each shell or cartridge. It has
largely taken the place of black powder
for blasting, as it is many hundreds of
times stronger, and consequently more
economical. ‘It is used chiefly in mining
all kinds of ores, coal and rock, and sub-
marine blasting and railroad building.
Without its aid many railroads, especial-
ly those crossing. the Rocky Mountains,
could not have been constructed; with-
out it Hell Gate in New York harbor
could not have been destroyed, and with-
out it the miner, at prices now paid for
mining ores, could not earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar; it will burn without
explosion, and freezes at 42 degrees, 10
degrees above ordinary freezing point.
The bomb of the Anarchist is made of
metal or glass and filled with pure nitro-'
glycerine arranged so as to explode by
severe contact with any hard object.
These bombs are, of course, never made
by a reputable dynamite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are in-
vested in the manufacture of dynamite
in the-United States, and its use is con-
stantly on the Increase. The fumes of
nitro-glycerine produce intense headache,
which can be cured by taking a very
small dose of it internally—Detroit Free
Press.
Steaks of Horse and Mule.
Many Parisians are rather progressive
than dainty in the selection of their food.
In the time of the siege of the‘city by the
German armies rats were among the
favored dishes of the people. At the
present time hippophagi is increasing at
big strides. There are in the city 794
horse butcheries where laSt year 21,231
horses, sixty-two mules and 277 donkeys,
a. totalof 21,570 head, were slaughtered.
There is a league of hippophagi at Paris, .
which held a banquet the other day, the
menu of which contained no other meat
than that of the donkey, horse and mule. ~
The butcher generally buys animals that
can no longer be used for pulling, riding
or carrying burdens, and are, therefore,
cheaper than cattle. Thus the price of
horse meat is lower than that of beef, for
which reason the poorer classes of the
people are consuming it extensively—-

Durant’s Retort on Butler.
Henry Durant, the founder of Wellesley
College for Women, and a very well-
known'la-wyer in New England, studied
law in Butler’s office when ayoung man,
and was admitted to the bar on his
recommendation. On one occasion But-
ler and Durant were opponents in a case.
and the contest Was very heated. ‘But-
ler suddenly turned to the court and
said:
“ It is the chief regret of my life that I
recommended that young man for ad-
mission to the bar.”
Durant as quick as a. flash replied:
“ Your Honor, it is the great wonder 'of
my life that his recommendation had
any weight with the c0urt.”——Minne-
apolis Journal. .

A Useful Animal. '
A useful South American animal is
the kinkajou, which, as the dictionary
will tell you, is a procyoniform quad-
ruped, with a protusile tongue and a
prehensile tail. The chief reason for as-
serting that the kinkajou is useful is
that, in addition to his fondness for fruit,
he has a great liking for insects for lunch,
and when tamed is a valuable assistance
in southern homes, where fly paper is
unknown and where a mosquito net is
more expensive than a silk dress.
No Trees, But. Plenty of \Vood.
The Falklands produce no trees, but
they do produce wood in a Very remark-
able shape. You will see, scattered here
and there, singular blocks of what look
like weather-beaten, mossy, gray .stones,
of various size. But if you attempt to
roll over one of these rounded boulders,
you will find yourself unable to accom-
plish it. In fact, the stone is tied down
to the groundétiedr down by the roots:
or in other words, it is not a stone, but a
block of living wood.
A Maple Sugar Miser.
A man living at Burke, Vt., has saved
