A Semon in a Saw Mill.
BY >friv, V. P.. 'manse.
VW, 'Squire, I see yer runnin' of yer saw mill right
along,
Rippin' off yer slabs an' scantlin' to the sane old
pleasin' song ;
An the crick still keeps a rushin' on the miry water-
wheel
An'' goes danol',,down the tailrace to a new Virginny
1,
Yer a -pilin up yer lumber, and yer sawdust, too,
Isee ;
But the buzzi4' of the caw mill is the ruin of the
tree,
An' I'm goin` to preach a sermon while yer greasin'
up the cogs,
For ter keep the caw a -rennin` thro' yer old saw logs.
I have heard yer say, trier;' William, that this cruel
liquor trade
Is a necessary business, an' it never can be stayed ;
But I'm here to tell yer, William, that no matter
what yer think,
The vile business cannot flourish 'eeptln' someone
buys the drink,
An' as martin' as you've got ter have some logs to run
yer mill,
Jes' so sartin' must these liquor men have boys ter
fill the till,
An' we bring the human timber, an' they saw it up
yer see,
Until by and by we're minus both the timber and the
tree
0, ther' is a sort o' hummin' which I know yer loves
to hear,
When the slabs are fellin' that way an' the lath's
a -pilin' here,
When the lumber's movin' out'ard an' the cash's
a-comin' in,
An' when everything's s<prosperin' an' times is good
ag'in,
Ah'. but when the dives be hummin' an' the wheels-
of
heelsof ails go round,
There's a splendid lot of fellows that I know are
being ground,
You're a-elashin' down the forest, but they're elaehin'
down our joys,
the ruin
0
t the boys.
An'the rushin' of the business ie S
0, that buzzin` caw o' ruin keeps a thrummin' right
along,
It's a-tearin'thro' the helpless an' it's tearin' thro'
the strong.
An' the saw dust that is fallin' is the tears an' blood
WI WOO,
in the water's that's a-surgin' down
below.
But the mill -wheels still keep thummin', an' the
slabs are flyin' free,
An' the dust of blood has fallen till it's sprinkled you
an" me,.
An' our boys are droppin' deathward like yer forests
on the hills,.
But we still keep up the timber for the runnin' o' the
milts.
You can saw your logs, frien' William, so that whea
the work is done
They are worth far more inmoney- than afore the
work begun.
But for every gash these liquor fellows make upon
our boys,
There's s blood -red gash o' ruin thro' our own domes-
tic joys,
An' we're all a-stanin' back of 'em, an' helpin' 'em
along,
An' a-votin' liquor ballots to perpetutt the wrong,
For I tell yer it's the voter that manipulates the saw,
When he regulates the business with hie tax or
license law.
Yes, the party wins by voters, an' the winners make
the law,
An' the law is the machinery that agitates the saw,
An' this peerless Christian nation, with a heart as
hard as steel,
Takes the dealers' cash and turns the rushin' water
on the wheel.
Then all the mills go buzsin', an' the tears begin' ter
flow,
An the homes begin ter crumble, an' the land is full
of woe ;
But I tell per all the Bufferin' an' sorr w that we feel,
Is because the Christian voter stands himself beside
the wheel.

LONDON'S BARMAIDS.
THEY WORK HARD AND SOME ARE
PRETTY AND REFINED.
Not a Few of Them Have Married Peers
—The Blessed Wit and Glorious Eyes of
The Irish Barivaid Do Considerable
ty
Havoc and Increase Business.
Now that the season of summer drinks is .
at hand, and one who has ever crossed the-
Atlantic
he-Atlantic has been Bohemian enough to visit
the Criterion or any other great or small
bar in London, will think regretfully of the
girl he left behind him in the person of
some bright, clever bartnaid, who in black
gown, immaculate rolling collar and cuffs,
and elaborately dressed hair, served up his
liquid refreshments this time last year in
dear old bonny England. Throughout the
length and breadth of Great Britain the
nei'v maid behind the bar is a recognised
institution. Seldom, if ever, do you see the
typical barkeeper of our native land, and
though the unaccustomed will shrug their
shoulders in holy horror at an occupation
which to them seems too dreadful to be
spoken of above a whisper, they must learn
right here that`these girls, as a class, are as
self-respecting and as modest as any of our
native-born members of the working
classes in this country. Certain it is, with–
their
iththeir many-sided trials, the publicity of
the occupation, and the temptation to
drink, that their conduct is wonderfully to
be commended. Of 'course there is always
a strong, burly fellow on call in case of
emergency, and high 'words, profanity, or
ungentlemanly conduct is nipped in the bud
by the gentle persuasion of this gentleman's
wrists of iron.
Most of these girls are above the average
in intelligence. They are frequently well
read and always thoroughly informed on
the topics of the day, for they have before
them from early morn until late at night
living newspapers in the persons of their
customers.
If a man once presumes on their position
and attempts the slightest familiarity,
these women who face the world to earn
their living can by a look reduce him to
his proper standing with as much dignity
and hauteur as the highest lady in the land.
Their hours are long and their work - is
arduous. At 10 o'clock every day they are
on hand; polishing the glasses, ;rearranging
the decorative decanters and little wooden
barrels in which brandy, gin and whiskey
are kept, to be drawn off from the tiny, al-
most
lmost make, -believe, spigot. Until mid-
night sounds there they stand, with but a
short interval for rest . and refreshment.
Their customers are numerous and varied,
and must be served with equal politeness.
There must be no distinction show► between
the blear -eyed reeling woman who wants; a
"alf pint o' bitter, miss," and the swell in
evening clothes who drops in for "a B. and S.
and a bit of chaff."
Refractory corks must be made to give
in and come out, ice must be cracked and
spigots turned, floor and bar kept wiped
up and glasses continually repolished by
one pair of hands, until it is uo wonder
they soon look red and coarse, for these
girls are not kept for show, as is erroneous-
ly thought on this side of the water. Of
course a pretty girl is an acquisition—she
attracts customers, and is therefore desir-
able, but if she does not likewise work hard •
her good looks wilt not keep her in her
place very long. Some wonderfullyrefined
and attractive women are to be seen among
this class of workers,. and it is not to be
wondered at that many of them marry into
ranks far above them, though the - mental
status of the men who hang about such re-
sorts is to be questioned, even though their
social position is assured.
To see the barmaid at her best Ireland is
the place. There she reigns supreme.
Blessed with mother wit and the glorious
Irish eyes, she plays sad havoc with the af-
fections of the frequenters of her place, and
it is dot so very aurpriaing that a scion of
one of Baltimore's best families brought
swat from the Queen's Hotel in Queens-
town the lovely presiding genius of the
place.
Many a barmaid has married a peer, but
that is not so very remarkable when one
takes a look at the august body of Eng-
land's nobility—the House of Lords—for
brain and beauty • cannot be said to run
riotously mad or the stamp of aristocracy
to be so painfully evident, consequently the
greater wonder that a pretty, bright, clever
young woman, though a barmaid, could for
the sake of a little title tie herself down to
any of the specimens that haunt her own
particular shrine. Of course, some bar=
maids, like many in walks of life above
them, say and do many things to shock the
staid and puritanical. But as a class they
are well-behaved, and as much to be com-
mended as any of the wage earners of our
land. Their social standing is nil, of course;
but would it be any better in England were
they upper housemaids, housegirls$or -sales-
women ?

Blaine's Family.
Three sons and three daughters constitut-
ed the family of Mr. and Mrs. James G.
Blaine, when Mr. Blaine went to Washing-
ton as President Harrison's Secretary of
State. The father's favorite ohildren,it was
said, were Walker Blaine, who became as-
sistant Secretary of State, and Mrs. Aline
Choppinger. January 15, 1890, Walker
Blaine, his father's pride and hope, died. In
a few .weeks Mrs. Choppinger died too.
The death of Emmons Blaine, the son who
still was a comfort to his parents, leaves
only three of the sur that filled out the
family circle three piers ago. The living
are, Mrs. Walter Da;;nrosch, Miss Harriet
Blaine, soon to be married to Mr. Beale, and
James G. Blaine, jr. Mr. and Mrs. Blaine
have indeed been sorely stricken,
(net mecnanicat power was satiny ttansmis-
sable into electricity the conclusion was
hastily jumped at that a great center like
Niagara was also to become the center of
industrial power. That a great mistake
has been made is proved by the fact that
Niagara and other great waterfalls still con-
tinue in a state of nature, unused by the
cunning of man. There is much talk even
in this month of '1892 to the same effect,
and the newspapers are telling the wonder-
ful things that Niagara Falls are going
to do. The Detroit News thinks it is safe
to say that Niagara and all other greater
water powers o the world will continuo to
waste their strength as they have done in
the past. The hope of a wide diffusion of
mechanical power by means of electricity
lies in a fundamental misconception of the
laws of electricity. The common idea is
that electricity's first law is that of running
as water runs down a hill. On the con-
• trary electricity is as sluggish as water and
has to be forced from one place to another.
The common idea is that if yon place elec-
tricity on a copper wire it will at once
start off and never atop until it is inter-
cepted by some uncongenial elements. The
majority of people think that if the Falls
of Niagara would only convert their power
into electricity that electrical energy could
ne tapped from Maine to Texas, as if it
were a reservoir in the clouds. Not so.
Electricity has to be pumped from one.
place to another by the expenditure of
power.
The difficulty of getting electricity from
Niagara to New York city•is the. same as
getting water from Cairo to the heart of
the Sahara. Theoretically both pos-
sible
sible ; practically the machinery does not
exist to perform the work. An electrical dy-
namo is a pump. It performs only the
work that it has the strength to perform.
If overstrained it breaks, bursts or burns
out. Let us hear no more of the utiliza-
tion of Niagara Falls for the diffusion of
mechanical energy. The ;thing is imprac-
ticable. It takes power to transmit power.
'When the gun is invented that can with-
stand the strain of shooting a bullet around
the world the time will have come to hope
for a dynamo that will shoot electricity
from 'Niagara Falls to San Francisco.
How to Be Happy Though Single.

And that I seize, my own, my pipe.

A Typewriter for She Blind.
Prof. Hall, of the Illinois Institution for
the Blind, has devised a typewriter for the
blind.
The size of the machine is 9 by 10 inches
and 5 inches high and weighs 9t- pounds.
It is simple and very strong and durable.
There are but six keys to manipulate. Dote
are :,wade in the paper as in the Braille
system, but with the machine the 1et-
te.r can be made very rapidly. To one
not accustomed to teaching the blind or un-
acquainted with their efforts at getting an
education it is . impossible to realize the
great advantage this invention will be to
that unfortunate class. •
Heretofore they have been able to carry
mathematical calculations only as far as
was possible by a mental precede or by the
sue of the "octagon slate," which has not
been found practicable in this country.
Now they an solve all problems as other
pupils do, and even music is within their
reach.--
The rapidity with which it can be mani-
pulated is - surprising. A pupil who .is , a
pianist, after a few hours gractice, wrote a
sentence of sixteen words in seventeen
seconds,, and a sentence written at random
at the rate ot thirty words a minute. It
would be safe to 'assume that with a reason -
Ole amount of practice a blind person
would readily acquire a speed of 100 words
a minute ot memorized matter, or forty to
fifty from dictation.—St. Louis Globe -
Democrat. --
Education a Matter of Fashion,
The full upper class education for Eng-
lishmen consists in taking a degree at Ox-
ford or Cambridge, preceded by four to
six years at one of the great public schools.
Dozens of schools would give a man all he
wants in the way of education, but to be
"cornme it faut" he should have been at one
of the crack old schools—Eton, founded in
1440 ; . Harrow, 1571 ; Winchester, 1387;
Rugby, 1567 ; or at one of the five crack
new schools, Cheltenham, 1841 ; Marl-
borough, 1843 ; Wellington, 1853 ; Clifton,
1860, or Halleybury,1862.
Among all the schools of England Eton
stands easily first in reputation, Harrow
second, Winchester third, and before she
fell on evil days Rugby was a "safe"
fourth.
Niagara Not Yet Utilised.
The twentieth century is about to dawn
on the world and still Niagara Falls have
not been "utilized." This is one _ of the
disappointments of science. The hope was
born about fifty year ago that the Niagara
water power could be made useful to the
whole Yankee nation. When it became
known that electricity could be made a

RAINE'S KNOWING MULE.
He Tramped Alone 500 Miles from Louisi-
ana to Tennessee.
The - affection animals have for home
proves that they have a greater amount of
instinct than we sometimes give them
credit for, yet one would hardly think that
a mule would wander some 500 miles,
over roads that it had never travelled and
through three different States, to get bank
to the scenes of its childhood, but such
is an actual feat. .
Some three miles from Humboldt, Gibs on
county, Tenn., lives W. Z. Raines, a pros-
perous farmer who raises strawberries for
early market, having some seventy- five
acres under cultivation. Mr. Raines is
commonly called "BillZack," to distinguish
him from '•Bill Raz," a cousin who lives
near him. He is one of those fortunate in-
dividuals who make money at every turn,
whether he tries to or not. AAs one of the
neighbors expressed it ;. "If 'Bill Zack'
should lie down in the big read - some one
would come along and give him a dollar
or he would kick one out of the dirt before
he got up.",
"Bill Zack" was fortunate in growing
berries in West Tennessee, so he purchased
a farm in Independence, La., six miles from
the county seat of Tangipahoa paris h, and
planted berries there. He placed a young
negro named Plunk in charge and shipped
to him, via the Illinois Central Railway, a
mule. This mule was one that "Bill Zack"
had raised some eight years before, and was
a fine specimen of the breed. He was -long
in ears, short in tail, and had as much
pent-up wickedness as did the origin al mule
that tradition says is to be found some-
where in the South.
The distance in a direct line that the
mule had to travel by railroad is 980 miles.
He arrived there all right and was put to
work, but his every action indicated that
he was not happy. No more did he reach
out with his left hind foot in .an attempt'
to reach the negro boy who followed the
plough, neither did he, when the day's labor
was done, elevate his tail, wag his ears, •
and emit from wide-open .mouth a sound
much less melodious than that of a fog-
horn on the Jersey west. He was evident-
ly sad at heart; homesick. One morning he
was missing.; Gone, but not forgotton, as
young Plunk laid aside all work and search-
ed the swamps of;Tangipshhoa. • Finally he
notified Mr. Raines that the mule could not
be found..
Three weeks later, when "Bill Zack"
went to the door about 4 a.m., he saw
leaning against the front fence a very sorry;
looking mule. He was dirty, and his long
ears hung loose and limber. He had energy
enough, however; to welcome his master
with a blast that shook the shingles on the
roof. It was - the same old mule. There
were the crop and underbit in his left ear,
and an unmistakable '`Z" on his right
shoulder. The prodigal had returned, and
the big corn crib was opened for his benefit.
The mule had walked . from near Indepep-
dence, La., to near Humboldt, Tenn., a
distance of over 500 miles by road. If that
mulehad belonged to anyboby but "Bill
Zack" Raines be would have gone in•a gal-
lop in- the opposite direction.—Detroit Fres
Press.
