IlMM Ilf ’ I Death and Life. “ Under the roots of the roses, Down In the dark, rich mold. The dost of my dear one reposes, Like a spark which night in closes, When the ashes of the day are cold.\ “Under the awful wings Which brood over land and eea, And whose shadows nor lift nor flee — This Is the order of things. And bath been from of old; First prodnetion. And last destruction; Bo the pendulum swings, While cradles are rocked and bells are tolled.\ “ Not under the roots of the roses, But under the luminous wings Of the King of kings The soul of my love reposes. With the light of morn in her eyes, Where the Vision of Life discloses Life that sleeps not nor dies.\ “ Under or over the skies What is it that never diesl Spirit — if such there be — Whom no one bath seen nor heard, We do not acknowledge thee; For, spoken or written word. Thou art but a dream, a breadth; Certain is nothing but Death I ” — [R. H. Stoddard, in Independent. A DIFFERENCE IN MEN. “ There's such a difloronco in men,\ said Cirry VinalL But,\ sagely suggested her mother, \looks are only skin deep.

What is there about you. I ’ d like to know, that two young mon ordinarily sensible should lose their heads about you. f ” ‘ Mother, what strange things you do say I ” giggled C irry, sinking back into her chair once more. “ And do you know, child, ” went on Mrs. Vinall, that you aro playing with the most important interests of your life? There ’ s nothing that can possibly bo so much to you as a good husband. Why don’ t you moke up your mind about it}\ *T — don ’ t knowl\ hejitatod Carry, biting her pink finger nails. “ Then sot yourself about knowing, ’ ’ admonished Mrs. Vinall, tartly. “ 1 can ’ t live forever, you must compre hend, and you ’ ve loitered your way up in life after such a fashion that you can ’ t possibly earn yout living by your self. And if you don ’ t marry now, while your good looks last — such as they are — I ’ m sure I don ’ t know what will become of youl ’ Mrs. Vinall spoke with a roguish sparkle in her eyes, although her lips were wreathed with grave solemnity. Carry caught up her bonnet and ran out of the room. “ I ’ m not going to stay hero to bo lectured any more,\ snid she, laughing in spite of herself. “ I'll go to the vil lage after some more salmon-pink wool to finish my shawl. ” “ And you may stop at Bridge's, ” added her mother, 'Vmd got mo a package of matches, and half a pound of Oolong tea, and some cheese.\ ‘ The prettiest little creature in the country,\ she added to horscH, with true maternal pride, os she watched Carry go tripping down tho lane; “ and If I could only soo her well settled in life I shouldn ’ t care how soon the good Lord took mo away. But Ido wish she would fhd it in her heart to fancy Solah Brown, ho'a inch a good, onb- stantisl young man. Felix Groydon may have ettiflod airs about him, but I doubt if, in tho long run, he ’ ll wash and wear as well as tho other one.\ Aud so Mrs. Vinall went down stairs to her pretty rustic occupation of skim ming cream, in a cool, stone-floored dairy, whore the light sifted in through a screen of quivering woodbine leaves, and the milk-pans shone as if they were made of hammered silver, instead of commonplace tin.

And Sirs. Vinall gave him tho um brella, without a word of further pro test. Ho hurriod back to tho field for his coat, and struck into tho high road by a short cut at very nearly tho point which Mr. Folix Graydon had roachod. And from that point they walked on together, yet separated by tho width of tho high road, occasionally darting bolligoront glancea at oach other, and never exchanging a friendly word. Both wore good walkers; both were determined to bo tho first to reseno pretty Carry Vinall from the coming tempest. Just about half way to tho village, however, as they neared a desolate old brick house, miidewoi with too much shade and ovorgroons, with tangled vines, on which “ To Let\ had hung so long that it was popularly supposed to bo a part of tho mural decoration, tho rain came down in dizzying sheets, tho thunder rolled, and a vivid dart of lightning shono for a second before their eyes, as it seomod to bury itself in the ground. In tho samo moment they saw Carry VLnall ’s face at tho open door of tho old brick house, her hand bookooiog to thorn. “ Bhe has token rofugo there — thore, of all places in tho world r* Hoarsely cried Graydon, breaking the spell of silonco which had reigned so long be tween them. ‘ Hold on, Brown I Do you know what thoy ’ ro using tho brick houso for now? Sho don ’ t, that's very ovidont !\ “ Yo«, I do,\ said Brown. “ Old Mills is storing his powder thoro for tho bloating in Dover Rocks.\ “ Don ’ t go near tho place! ” shouted Groydon. “ Didn ’ t you hear her raothor say that sho hvl a lot of matches with horf Matcho) ! la a powder magazine 1 and with a thunder-storm like thii rat tling overhead I Cill to her: ted her to como out horo to ut! ’ “ Sho couldn ’ t hear you If you shout ed to her with a boatswain ’ s trumpet! ’ retorted Brown. “ Min aliv.l ” roarod Graydon, in stinctively putting out his hand to stop the other, “ do you want to bo blown into tho middle of tho next field? Di 1 you sco that last flash of lightning? ’ And ho fairly took to his hools, hur rying down tho road which led to tho distant village, without even pausing to look behind. Sclah Brown glanced after him with a couotonanco of infinite contempt. “ I nlwayi thought ho was a poltroon,\ ho muttered. “ Now, I am sure of It. ” Ho jumped tin fonco like a young deer, and hastened, with long stride, to tho old brick house. “ Oh, is it you? ” said Cirry,not with out a sudden shadow of disappointment in her face. “ It ’ s very good of you to como for me, I ’ m sure. But I thought — ’ “ You thought you saw Graydon, ” interposed Browj. “ Well, you did, but ho has an engagement in tho oppo site direction. I’ m sorry lam tho wrong one. But come, Carry ! ” “ Out in that rain — certainly not! ” said tho villago beauty, with an air of decision. “ Let us stay horo until it it over. It ’ s a musty old place, I know; tut the roof is water-tight, and — \ “ And there ’ s your parcel, Osrry. Come l ” Ho took an oblong paper package from her grasps and then drew tho un willing little hand under his arm with gentle force. “ But I shall get all wet! ” she do dared, still hanging back. “ Carry, M ho said, “ do you know wbero your are!\ “ In the old brick house, to-be-sure! ’ she answered. *Yonare in a powder magazines And Not until they warn almost homo did Carry Vinall speak again. “ It don ’ t rain so much now,** sho sail, with a long; shuddering sigh. “ Do you think we neod walk quite so fast?\ “ Am I Lurrying you too mud). Carry! Why didn't you say aoF* “ Oh, it Isn ’ t that; but Solah — ** His eyes softened Into sodden light. He liked to hear his qmtat old Bible name pronounced by those cherry-ripe lips in so winning a fashion. “ Yet, Carry I\ “ You said just now — a little while ago — ” And then she paused. “ I said what, Carry! ' “ You said that you were eorry you wore tho wrong one.\ “ Ye«, Cirry.\ “ But, Be lab, you are not tho wrong one,\ murmured Carry, with her cheek close to bis wet coatsleovo. “ You are the right one!\ ’ ‘ Carry, my darling, do you moan UP “ Yes, I do mean it! ” cried out the girl. “ After the way Folix Graydon has behaved today, I never want to see his face again. Ho is a coward — a mean-spirited coward! Hs would have fled away, to securo his own safety, and loft me to perish in that horrible death trap. But you — oh, Bolahl — you aro a hero !\ “ My darling, I did nothing that any other man would not have done.\ “ Then Felix Graydon Isn't a man; he Is only a cur!\ fiercely declared Carry. Tho storm rolled .away Into the black ening east, the old powder magazine escaped destruction for the once, but Carry Vinall's fate was definitely set tled.

ORNTto. VOL. XI. ROSLYN, QUEENS COUNTY, N. Y., SATURDAY, JANUARY 5.1889. NO. 42. The Useful Peanut, Tho peanut is a useful product- much more so, Indeed, than people imagine. Wo all know how oxtenslvo- ly it is eaten in Its roasted state; but therein by no means lias (ho extent of its value. Tho nut contains from 42 to 00 per cent of a nearly colorless, bland, fixed oil. resembling olive oil and used for similar purposes. The oesc is ob tained by cold expression, but a large quantity of inferior oil is procured by heating tho seeds before pressing. It is a non-dry lag oil, changing but slow ly by exposure to the atmosphere, end remaining flail in cold several de grees below 82 degrees Fahrenheit. It contains besides oloio and palmitic acids, two other oily acili, which have boon called tho amebic and hypo- f mio, though it is doubt/ul if thoy are really distinct. Tho principal con sumption of tho oil is in soap-making. In 1882 Virginia began tho manufac ture of poanut flour, tho rosult being a pccu'iarly pnlatablo biscuit, while Georgia has long mado pastry of poundod peanuts. Tho kornols roasted are largely mod in tho manufacturo of chocolate, while the amando do torro, as has boon shown, is uiod by tho con fectioners. It is also eaten as a fruit and roasted for coffee. “ Tho poor man's fruit,\ tho poanut, is capable of sustaining life fora long time, owing to its peculiarly nutntivo qualities, tho nogroos using it aliko in porri ige, cus tard or as a bovorago. Nor does its usefulness end hero, for tho viios form a splendid fodder, os good as clover hay, whilo hogs will fatton on what they find in tho fiolJi after tho cro^s has been gathered. It is an cat-y crop lo raise, tho de mand for nuti has trebled within tho past few years, and has nev r jot equaled tho demand. Tho quantity of peanuts used in thii country may b j sot down at 8,000,000 bushels por annum, and this teems a largo amount; but a* far back os 1867 thcro wore imported into Marseillca alone from Africa more thin 16 000, COO bushels, vJiiod at $5,000,- 000. At pnaont the average price of peanuts may bo act down at flvo cents n pound. Bo that, by setting down America's product os 8,000,000 budicls of 22 pounds a bushel, it roprosonti a product valued at $8,830,000. — IB in Franc! co Chronicle. The Old Beok'Worm.

I have soon the old book-worn, standing hour after hour, at some corner stall where old booka aro bought and sold. From hie pocket rolls of manuscript protrude. Under his arm are two volumes which ho has probably brought to soil to tho dealer. In his hand is an open book on which his eyes aro steadily bent His lips move constantly, but no sound oeoapes. Over his lo ad ho holds a faded umbrella, on ohoso top tho herco sun is pouring its scorching rays. Ho is jostled and pushed by tho throng, aud the dealer frequent ly tries to attract his attention by speaking, but all in vain. Ho lias flown away from the present, and only i very rude awakening will bring him back to it. Tho notorious assassin, Ohnrlt s J. (luitcuu, was ono of tho best-known look - worms that ever dwelt in Chicago. He was at tho Pub lic Library every hour that it was open for many lo ig months. Ho hcoame well known to the attaches of that in stitution, although ho seldom epoko more than was necessary to obtain some desired volume. Aud there ho would sit, duv after day, and road, •eod. road from those books which can not bo taken away froip tho building. Unfortunate!v, ho did not always re main a harmless hook-worm. — Chicago Ledger. __ ________ _ IIUnking Dogs. It is a queer psychological fact that highly bred setters and poiiit'-rs, with their instincts w« ll developed, often become frightened at the first real operation of the pointing instinct, and never recover from it. A Chicago sportsman had a well-bred, fimcy-poiii- groed setter, which In: raised with duo regard for his future uscfulio os in tho field, and at maturity started out to give him a trial on game. True to his nature, the dog galloped over the fields in tho merry style of his trained anees- fors, and coming suddenly up >u a large covey of birds, he stopped at the r.COllt Of th • birds, in oliedienee to liis pointing instinct. Th\ dog had never seen a game bird, and the odor of the r-ovoy roHe so thickly about him that he was fairly intoxicated with th* delight ful sensation of the \poin*. ” He shiv ered in his excitement, and so pro nounced was the effect upon him that Ids hair rose with his sensa'inm. I ’ ros- sntly the birds began to rise with a Aoisy whirr, an l the line\i>e tod sight quails and I lie noise they miele in melting away so alarm d the dog that 6o turned tail and ran oil t » hide in th\ .lushes. Hineo that time III ' dog ’ s fear >f birds has been so gre.it (but he al ways runs away from Ihein. He will 'iiint diligently to find birds, and he vill make Ids point after they are found, but the moment lie stops to point lie iccollncts his first birds, and with tho /.lost abject expression he steals away 'roll! the objiot he has worked so hard ^ find.

Men, Women and Children Dive After the Oysters. How little people generally know about many of the thlagt which they have in common use. ThU U notably true in the matter of the material known a* mother-of-pearl, which ii used for jewelry, crochet hooka, paper knives, kulfe hnndlca and a variety of other object*. Whore doce It como from, and how Is it obtained? ere ques tions which are not readily answered. From a writer ia Lx Nsture — -an agent of the French government, sent to in quire into the production of mother-of- pearl — it is learned that this article is the principal production of Tahiti; thnt this Is what' stimulates hor commerce and gives rise to tho nlntlve important exchanges which take place In tho far- off lands of Oooanica, and that this is what attracts those vessels which, fora century past, have boon aaillng among tho dosolato and wild IsUnds that mnko up the archipelagoes of Taumotu, Gam bler aud Tuhuai. On account of its rarity, mother-of-pearl has rdways been an object of luxury. Boforo navigators wont to that part of the world which is lost in tho Immensity of tho Pacific Ocean it wns still rarer than It is now; it had more valua, perhaps, b\it it was assuredly neither more sought for nor moro prized. Tho mothor-of-poarl employed la tho industries is furnished by the varlom species of iholl flthos, tho most os- toomod, most Iridescent and also tho most bonutiful being (hat produced by the poarl oyster. Again, two sorts of poarl oysters aro distinguished. O ie of theso, known as tho plntndino (mo- Icagrina inarglritifora), is found in Chinn, tho Indio*, lu tho Hod Boa off tho Comoro hlnnd\ to tho northwest of Australia, h file Gulf of Moxtco, end particularly off tho Taumotu and Gam bler island*. Tho other, moro <om- monly known as tho poarl oyster, is fou.id in fho Indies, in tho soa of tho Antilles, in tho Rod Boa aud to tho north of Australia. Tho piutadlno has a harder, moro azure and moro transparent sh>ll, and ono that fltt.nin.s Inrcror dimensions than that of (ho latter, hnno nave uoen rouuu »»■» measured as many as 12 Inches in diam eter, oud weighed moro than 20 pounds. Tho moloagrlna radiata rarely exceed* four inches in its largest dimension*, and never reachos a weight of flvu ounces. 'The two species furnish pearls. According to tho fashion or tho pro- vailing taste, sometimes those of one aro preferred and aomotimoi those of tho other; nevertheless plnladino have n brighter lustro and moro transparent and iatouso tones than those of Us con- go nor. It is difficult, tho writer says, to os- tirnato ilio money value of tho pearls collacto 1 in tho Fronch possessions ol Ocoanicn. In his opinion it would amount to f 00,000 a year. Tho most important market for fino pearls 1* found in England. Tho pin tad I no comes from tho tropics.

Captain Span go n berg, aa Aus trial chemist, has for yean triad to u UII m an invention described as a “ Bprong- Kugoi\ or “ Blastlng-bsil,\ a hollow rifle bullot warranted to explode (five seconds after firing) with foroj suffi cient to disconnect body and soul of the toughest oavalry-horee. The mili tary commissioners of four different states have rtoogniard the dynamic value of tho contrivance, but “ with sincere regret, \ eta, have felt obliged to decline the patent, as Incompatible with the traditional usages of olviltaed warfare, A rifle-ball, they argue, evon If aimed at an army of wanton inva ders, is intended to disable, rather than to butcher an adversary, and ex plosive projectiles, bombshells except ed, must bo consldorod as inadmlstl- bio In tho panoply of Christian armies as tho poisoned arrows of tho Brazilian savages. Tho distinction scorns some what analogous to tho cominont of that British vnlot who witnessed tho review of a Fronch infantry regiment, nnd turned to his matter with ths remark that “ bluo uniform Is porfootly absurd, except in mountod artillery and regi mental musicians; ” but, with all Us in- consistcnciss, tho recognition of tho general princlplo Is a step in tho right direction. A brigade of illsahlod soldiers Is put hors do combat ns offiot- ually as a heap of dismembered corpses, and tho evolution of tho muskot marks a steady decrease in tho size of tho missiles. Two hundred years ago the trumpet.shapod blundorluis of a Bpan- t*h Infantry soldier was loaded with two ounoo balls; tho heavy flintlocks of King Frederick's inu*k<.tcers fired 18 halls to tho pound; whilo tho far moro rfilciont projectiles of tho Improved Fronch Lobol gun are not much Inrg t than peanuts. Fired at shod range — the average qunrtoi-mllo distance of modorn battles — a bullot of that sort will go through and through a soldier, brass-(oil cuirass and all, leaving him a bettor chance of recovery than tho leaden base balls of tho ml Idlo ages; yot In nluo out of ton ca os will p it him on tho sick Hit, not for thnt <1 iy oily, but for tho rest of that campaign. — Drake's Magazine.
