THE PUNCTUAL TIDES.
The punctual tides, with Snll.n roar,
Wash on th aeacoast's pebbly floor;

Grinding the old and building new
And building new.
So the long years, with muffled aound.
Bring tribute from the far profound;
Hoarse winds and stooping clouds go by,
And man fares hence wa know not why
We know not why.
The tides of time, they rise or fall
With that white wast that circle all;
Our year in vaster periods move.
As our poor love lo lasting Love
In lasting Love.

MISS TAPA.
Every morning when the miners em
ployed in the mines at IScrard assembled
around tho shaft to answer the roll-call,
there could bo seen arriving last of all a
tall, sturdy-looking fellow, who led by
the hand a little girl seven or eight years
old. They were Michel Picrron ana his
daughter.
Boforo setting foot on the platform of
the car to descend the man took the
child In his arms and kissed her, aud
then replaced her on the ground. Tho
littlo one cried : "Good-by, papa."
When the signal for tho descent was
given sho clasped her hands and kept re
peating the einirle word "nana" until
she was sure that pnna could no longer
hear her. Then sho' went on to the
school houso close by, where she spent
the day.
Wt
hen the evening came she was al
ways the first at the opening of the
shaft, aad Michel Piorron was always
the first who came np. As aUiia depart
ure, he lifted tho child in his arms, and
she threw her arms around his neck,
crying "papa."
The miners hnd heard her repeat these
two syllables so often, and had been so
struck by the strange passion which she
put into them, that they gave her tho
name of Miss l aps.
And certainly no namo was more ap
plicable, Her father was everything to
her. Her mother had beon dead a long,
time; she had scarcely known hor; sho
had only him. All her memories of
childhood were filled with him, To her
his great rough hands had been as gentle
as a woman's. For her, his hard grimy
face had always worn a tender smile.
For her, this man had become a woman
and a child at the same time.
Ah I how she loved her father, and
how terrified she was every morning
when she raw him descend into the great
black hole to which no one could see the
bottom.
One day a miner held her over the
mouth of the shaft, and she had gazed
down into the dark depths. I'ttering a
cry of terrr.r she drew tack.
"Papa goes down there," she thought.
"Oh, if he should never come up."
And that day, when Michel took her
in his arms as usual and kissed her, she
clunx more tightly than ever to his neck,
and said to him :
"Vou will come up, won't you?
"Of course, my littlo one."
"Is there any danger, tell me, papa?"
"Why, no, littlo coward."
"Docs anyone an anyone die down
there?'
"Have no fear," replied Michel,
laughing; "I will not die without let
ting you know."
"Ah! liood-bye, papa."
All that her father said was gosptl
truth to her, and she went to school com
pletely reassured.
But the memory of that black gulf into
which her eyes had plungod could not
be cM'aced, and from that time sho was
afraid every morning and trembled every
evening; fcho feared her lather would
never return from tlioso mysterious
depths info which sho had seen him
descend.
as it presentiment! Who knows?
One day the report suddenly spread
that an explosion had occurred iu the
mine. In a moment's timo a crowd had
gathered at the shaft. Pioin all direc
tions people, wild with terror, came
flocking to the spot, of those buried
far below there how many would ever see
the light agaiat
Michel's daughter was at school. She
knew nothing of it, and besides if any
one had spoken of it before her would
she have comprehended?
Could she know, poor little one, what
an ev plosion wast No. But at her ago
one knows already what death is; one
understands at her ago when one sees in
animate, niultilated bodios extended
upon the ground, and the approaches to
the shaft were strewn with them when
she arrived that evening to meet her fa
ther. bhe was stupefied for a moment, and
then the truth suddenly fahed upon
her; she had seen those men go down
living, those men whom she knew so
well, who had kissed her many a time;
and now they wore brought up dead.
Would they bring up her father like
them !
This thought distracted her. She be
gan to run wildly among tho debris,
which they had brought up from the
mine, crying: ",'apa! Papa! Papa!"
There were, it is true, many others
who cried snd called "Papal" but not
one in such despairing a cents. The
others they drove back, but no one could
be found to push her away. They let her
run, poor child, from ono body to anoth
er, sometimes stopping before a dis
figured face, heitatinsf for a moment, as
if she feared she might recognize her
father. j
No, he was not among the dead. She
grew calmer, and sought among the liv
ing. He was not there. She questioned
every one, but oue had teen him.
Of the sixty miners who had went
down in the morning forty rive hud come
up alive; fourteen wore dead. There
remained but one to be accounted for;
that cne was Michel.
She bad made them explain all that
to her, and she understood. She clapped
her hands joyously, as if they had said
to her: "Ho is all right You will see
him again." Ah! how she hoped to see
him. Then she suddenly recollected the
morning on which her father had said to
her :
"I will not die without letting you
know."
It only needed thut to give her the cer
tainty that he was living.
A child's faith is strong. It is not
easy to drive out an idea which has once
taken root in its mind. So, when the
next morning she had remained there
all night they tried to make her under
stand that there was no hope, that she
would never again see her father, that
they had explored all tho galleries,
searched every corner and had not found
him, she shook her head and began to
weep, saying: "8cek for papa!"
They paid littlo attention to her. For
forty hours had they not exhausted
every means? There was, doubtless,
something strange in this disappearance
Living or dead Michel ought to havo
been found, and they had not found
him.
The chief engineer had himself di
rected the search, but all in vain. In tho
opinion of all nothing more could be
done, and it was possible that, by the
force of the explosion, tho unfortunate
man had been buried by the falling de
bris, and it was impossible to tell her
when and hovr.
For forty-eight hours littlo Miss Papa
waited anxiously, but without manifct
ng the slightest uneasiness. At every
human form which appeared at tho
opening she started forward, and, not
rocogni.ing him for whom she waited,
she sank back upon the ground with a
deep sigh. They tried to take her away,
and she uttered such piercing cries that
they considered it best to leave her
there. They thought that she saust
soon yield to fatiguo.
Whence comes to the wenk and feeblo
such strength in tho great crises in life?
Ask God ; it is His secret.
The third day tho child was still at
the shaft.
"I must put an end to this," said the
engineer, approaching her. "Come, my
little one, bo reasonable!"
"Papal scok for papa!"
"Alas! ho is dead."
"No."
She uttered this "no" with such
energy that the engineer was struck by
it.
"Why do you say no." he asked.
"Ho would have told me."
"Poor little one," murmured the
engineer.
And he made a s'gn to the men to take
her away. But she clung desperately to
him, crying:
"Papa is not dead. I want to go down.
I will find him."
They bore her away and left her with
the school teacher. An hour later she
was back at the shaft, and, clinging to
the engineer's knees, she kept repeat
ing: "I want to go down ! I will find him!"
He was a tender-hearted man, that
engineer, and he took pity on her.
"After all," he said to'himself, "that
will, perhaps, be tho bet thing. When
she hns seen with her own eyes, she will
believe. This excitement, if it lasts
much longer, will kill her."
And, taking her in his arms, he bore
her to tho car and gave the signal to de
scend. Bhe shuddered when sho folt beneath
her the yawning pit, from which arose a
foul air which almost sulfocated her.
The engineer felt her little arms enclose
his neck, and her curly head was pressed
against his own.
When they reachod the bottom she dis
engaged herself, sprang to the ground
and rushed forward, calling:
"Papa! papa!"
The engiueer, who could hardly keep
up with her, was tired of explaining tp
her twenty times what he hud already
explained how the explosion had oc
curred and what they had done to find
the victims, and the child kept ques
tioning him, and repeated:
"He is living! heck for him!"
She would havo remained down there
in tho mine three days, as she had already
done at the surfneo, if they had uot
taken her by force and carried her up.
Tho engineer gave orders that she
should be taken back to tho school
teacher, and also orders that if she reap
penred at the shaft ihe should bo pre
vented from going into the mine.
All his measures had been carefully
taken, and the next day.no longer think
ing of hor, he was inspecting one of the
galleries, when he felt himself seized by
the arm of his coat. It was Miss Papa.
She had escaped from the school a
second timo. itcpulscd at the shaft, she
had slipped into an empty coal car and
hnd thus descended into the mine.
She told all this to the engiueer and
obtained his pardon. Five minutes later
sho again began her search, still full of
undiminished faith. The miners followed
her with pitying cyos, shrugging their
shoulders, saying:
"Poor little Papa!"
Little Papa kept on seeking with una
bated courage. Suddenly they saw her
ruuning toward them, palo and excited.
"Down there!" she gasped. "Down
thero ! Papa!"
"What.' Down there?" said the
miner.
"His blouse!"
"Hah! Where.'"
"Down there!"
In a moment every one had heard tho
new, and the mine was in a tumult.
The child declared that she had teen a
piece of blue cloth in tho hole, which she
could not ruise because it was held down
by an enormous block of coil.
"Where?" they asked hr againi
She turned, followed by the crowd of
miners. Then she stopped and hesi
tated. Sho could not find the spot. All the
blocks of coal resembled each other; all
tho cavities were aliko, alt the galleries
were the same. And yet she was sure
she had seen that piece of blue cloth.
Where the blouse was, the man must be,
living, no doubt, and that man was her
father, and she could not Hod him!
One by one.tired of the useless search,
persuaded that the poor girl was crazed
by grief.thc meu withdrew and returned
to their work. But they had hardly
taken up their pickaxes, when a loud
cry recalled them to the child..
"I have found it ! I have found it !"
Thoy piuhed her aside and looked.
Yes, it was a piece of blue flannel! It
was a blouse! There was a man there!
They set to work with a will, and in
a tn iuklingof an eye the wall was beaten
down, and in a deep excavation they saw
a mnu extended; it was Michel Pierron.
He had been there three days and four
nights.
Loud cries arose on all sides, and,
ringing loud above the other, a cry
escaped from the lips of a child. She
thiew herself upon the body aud
clasped it iu her a run, half mad, weep
ing and crying : -
"tapa! papa!"
He was neaily dead, poor Michel!
Exhausted by lack of air and nourish
ment he recovered consciousness only
to sink back fainting; but he was
alive.
Miss Tapa had told the truth. The
man would not die without telling hit
child, nnd tho thought of her had sus
tained him and given him the strength
to conquer death.
A week later he was out and ready to
recommence his work.
On tho evening of the day beforo that
on which he was to return to tho mind
a great banquet was given by ail the
miners to Miss Papa. The place of
honor was reserved for her. A loud
hurrah and wild applause greeted he
when she entered, holding on to Michel's
hand. Thero were kisses given, shouts!
of "Bravo!" and wild huzzas in honor1
of the little queen.
And do you know what she replied to
all this, smiling and clapping her littlo
hands?
Sho replied: "Papa."
It would be dillicult to describo how
and in what tone she uttered that word.
But all the biave fellows, whose eyes
had hardly ever known a tear, will tell
yon that they wept that night.
How Men Act Under Fire.
Exposure to fire, writes Colonel Floyd
Clarkson in the Mud and fii-jireit, brings
oat tho different characteristics of men.
Tho?e who are naturally stubborn and
combative become more so and make
the best fighters. The way men behave
when exposed to tho enemy's tire de
pends on whether they expect to be hit
or not. Some men, especially those
new to the work, go into a charge firm
ly convinced that they aro going to be
shot. Of course they are frightened
when they look at in that way. io man
is willing to go deliberately to meet
death, and the idea of being hit, even
slightly, Is not plerteant. l ooking at it
in this way, tho men become extremely
nervous, and in some cases it makes
them actually sick. When compelled to
go forward, they are so excited that
thoy hardly know what they are about.
Olher men look at it differently, and
do not expect to be hit. These aro men
who have seen service. They consider
their chanco of being killed so slight in
ordinary engagements that they Act as
though they were indilTcrent to lire. It
makes all the difference in the world in
their behavior, and it is the duty of tho
officers to convince tho men that they
will not bo hit. They should even ex
pose themselves to severe fire if necessary
to assure the men.
When I was in tho Sixth Cavalry
down in North Carolina we had a lot of
new men. A charge was ordered and
the first company advanced. They were
in an open road close by a piece of
woods. At the first volley from tho
enemy they took to tho woods. Then I
ordered up the second company. The
men were white as ghosts, but they rode
through the tire, 'the cavalry charge is
with relvolvers pointed in the air, and at
tho word "fire" the barrel is dropped and
the volley fired. In this charge tho men
were eo excited that most of their shots
went straight up in the air or over the
heads of the enemy. A couplo of months
later the same men would ride and fire
as steadily and drop their bullets close to
the object aimed at.
It requires more nerve for men to stand
and receive than to ride forward and re
turn it. Tho excitement of firing helps
keep tho men's courage up. Only vet
erans will go steadily forward when men
are dropping on all sides. I remember
one charge when I expected to get hit.
I had to lead a cavalry charge right in
the face of the enemy's fire. It seemed
like sure death to attempt I destroyed
all of my papers and we went out with a
rush. The enemy was so astonished
that they dropped their guns and ran,
leaving us to gather in come prisoners
and leave tho ground clear for the in
fantry. I remember an incident at Chnpulto
pec that tried tho nerve of the meu. A
forlorn hope was ordered and every tenth
man was told off. One of the men who
was detailed was so badly frightened
that ho became very sick, He was con
vinced that ho would be' shot, but he
went through tho charge, received a ball
on his belt plate and came out all right.
He was Afterward a Captain in the civil
war and btood fire without flinching.
He died a natural death after tho war
rhotoirraphin? Itlfle Bullets.
The interesting process of photograph
ing rifle bullets iu motion, by means ol
the electric light, presents some remark
able phenomena, judging from the ex
periments madu by Much, the Austrian
chemist. In this operation his plan is
to illumine, tho bullet by lotting it break
an electric current formed, but the
velocity of the bullet must exceed that
of soud, in order that the conditions of
the air before and behind the projectile
can be shown. After vnrious experi
ments he succeded in his efforts to
photograph projectiles fired by Wornal
and Jurdo guns, having respectively an
iuitial velocity of 4:j-t nnd 5U0 meters
per second. Tho photographs obtained
in this manner showed an air formation
in front of the bullet having the form of
i an hybeihole, whilo behind it almost s
vacuum was formed, in which, when ths
1 initial velocity was very great, there
were some curious spiral motions, from
the description given, there appeared
from these photographs to bo a great
similarity between the motion of a body
through the water and that of a pro

Grotesque Sacred Nuts.
Japanese sacred nuts are the latest fad
in the market, and are having a large
sale as curiositius.
Their intrinsic value is small, but in
former times the uneducated Japanese
used to worship them. They are to be
seen at most fashionable purveying
stores that aim to keep up with the pro
cession.
In shape they aro exactly like a pair
of mounted ox-horns. They are two
inches from tip to tip aud are black in
color, looking uot unlike a black butter
fly. The taste is very similar to that ol
a Brazil nui. They retail at from teu tc

How to Dleanne Chamois) Leather.
! Make a solution of weak aoda and
warm water, rub plenty of soft soap into
the leather, and allow it to remain in
soak for two hours; then rub it well in
until it is quite clean. Afterward rins
it well in a weak solution composed ol
warm water, soda and yellow soap. It
must not be rinsed in water only, for
then it would bo so hard when dry as to
bo unfit for use. It is the small quantity
of soap left in the leather that allows the
finer particles of the leather to separate
nnd become soft like silk. After rinsing
wring it well in a rough towel nnd dry
quickly, then pull it about and brush it
well, and it will become softer and better
than most new leather. Detroit Fre

How to Wash Blanket.
I utilized some of the bright, sunny
weather of a recent week to wash my
blankets. I used, to me, a new method,
with very satisfactory results. For three
blankets I used ono pint of soft soap and
two tablespoonfuls of powdered borax,
dissolved in boiling, water. Then I
added this solution to a half-filled tub of
cold water, large enough to contain the
blankets, nnd left them stand twelvo
hours entirely covered with the solution.
I then squeezed nnd rubbed them
thoroughly, but did not wring them.
I put them in a basket over another tub
to drain, rinsed in clean cold water, and
drained again. I put a little blue in a
final rinse, drained again and hung out
to dry. By using cold water and not
wringing, my blankets did not shrink,
but when dry were smooth and white.

Gamp for Invalids.
A way that is highly recommended for
preparing game fur invalids is as follows:
After being properly prepared boil a fine
young bird until it is three parts cooked,
then remove the skin, pick all the flesh
from the bones and pound it in a mor
tar with a little of tho liquid in which
it was boiled, threo tablcspoonsful of
finely sifted bread crumbs, n teaspoonful
of grated lemon rind, a sufficient season
ing of salt nnd a grating of nutmeg.
When pounded to a perfectly smooth
paste, put tho mixture into a saucepan
with a little more of the liquid, and let
it simmer gently for ten minutes. When
finished the pomnda should be slightly
thicker than good cream. It will keep
quite fresh aud sweet for three or four
days, and can be heated a fow spoonsful
at a time and served poured over n slice
of nice, crisp, hot toast, or in a very
tiny dish with sippets of toast inserted
round about. Nothing mora quiGkly
destroys the capricious appetite of an in
valid than having a largo dish of any
th ng, no matter how daintily set before
them; they requiro to eat often but only

HINTS FOR EMERGENCIES,
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF SUDDEN
HEMORRHAGES.
Valuable fjnggeetlons as to the
Treatment of Persona Hlcedlnff
From Cuts or Other Injur le.
Mayor W. II. Gardner, port surgeon
at the .hington (D. O.) barracks, re
cently delivered a lecture on hemor
rhages and their treatment. It should be
known in the first place, he said in the
the Star's report, and always remem
bered, that the arteries are the tubes
which carry the blood from the heart to
all parts of the body, while the veins
conduct the blood from the extremities
back to the heart. The wounding of
these blood vessels are the most common
injuries to which mankind is liable, and
when the rupture pertains to the arteries
the result is speedily fatal if not sub
jected to immediate and proper treat
ment. Suppose that one should be cut in the
arm, which is so often the case when, in
a difficulty, one is warding otl the blow
of an assailant. If a blood vessel is
severed the victim turns pule, sickens at
the stomach, a cold, clammy sweat col
lects on tho brow, and the pulse weak
ens and runs up from reventy to eighty
to 120. What should be done. Avoid
excitement, crowding the patient or
giving a stimulant. In nine cases out of
ten mistaken kindness administers
liquor, which of all things is the worst,
as it excites the heart to vigorous action
and increases the flow of blood. Bear
this in mind always, he said. If the
blood is bright red and comes from the
wound in interrupted spurts it is from
the artery, and a compress, or tourni
quet, should bo placed above or between
the wound and heart. A compress can
be easily made by twisting a handker
chief and tying a heavy knot in tho
center and then tying the handkerchief
loosely around the arm, placing the knot
first tied directly over the artery, which,
it will be found, runs down the inside of
the arm. A cane or Bhort stick, or in
the army, a bayonet, will answer, should
be run through the bight or loop on the
outer side of the arm, and the handker
chief drawn so tightly by twisting the
stick that the pressure of the knot will
stop the flow of blood until the arrival
of a physician. Should tho blood be
dark scarlet, or pour from the wound in
a steady stream, it is from a vein, and
the compress should be placed below the
wound and on Jho outside of the arm.
It is often necessary to place a compress
on both the inner side and outer side of
tho arm
A stab in the back is nearly always
fatal if a blood vessel is cut, owing to
the dilliculty of getting at the vessel to
stop the fow of blood. In such cases
the work of a surgeon is all that can
avail anything, and too often even that
is unsuccessful.
Thigh, leg, or feet wounds, when
blood vessels are severed, are treated
much in tho same way as thewrm. Cuts
on the inside of the thigh or leg are most
dangerous, as there tho femoral, or main
artery, lies exposed, and unless com
pressed at once a man would be dead in
ten minutes. The position of tho fem
oral artery can be ascertained by feel
ing with the hand, ns its pulsations are
in unison with the throbbings of the
heart. General Packenham, who com
manded the Knglish forces at the battle
of New Orleans, January 181., was
wounded through this artery and bled
to death before a surgeon could arrive.
The artery of the leg divides just be
fore the knee-joint into three smaller
vessels, and in case of hemorrhage from
cuts or otherwise it is best, he said, to
apply the compress directly and firmly
over the wound. The same rule obtains
in wounds of the hands and fcot. Hemor
rhages of t lie head, chest and abdomen
are almost universally fatal, for the rea
son that it is dillicult to get at the severed
vessels to stop the How or to ligature
them, or from the laceration of some vis
cous whose integrity is necessary to life,
or from inflammation from tho passage
of a projectile or weapon. At the same
time, however, ministrations to the af
flicted should not cease until tho victim
is inevitably dead, for iu many instances
injuries which at first sight seem to be
necessarily fatal have been recovered
from.
Dr. Gardner cited as an example his
personal observation of the body of the
lato General Fainsworth, on which he
counted thirty lwo scars received in
battle from shell, shot, swords, and bay
onets, many of them seemingly fatal,
though he recovered and lived to die
quietly in his bed as a Christian. He
also personally knew General Schuyler
Hamilton, who, when aide to General
Scott during the Mexican war, was,
whilo carrying an order, pierced through
the body by a Mexican lance, the weapon
entering the back just below the right
kidney aud tmcrgiug from the front of
tho abdomen. He recovered and served
in the lute war.
Perhaps the most wonderful instance
of recovery was that of a man working
on a railroad in Massachusetts. Whilo
ramming a blast in a rock the powcier
was ignited and a premature explosion
ensued, blowing the steel rammer, about
two feet longaud oue inch thick, through
bis head, entering below tho lei (eye and
coming out at the top of his head. He
recovered, went to California and was in
business there many ycurs. When he
died he willed his skull to Dr. Henry
Bigclow.theutteuding physician, aud it is
now in the med cal museum at Harvard.
Tim Texas Pony.
T he most inexperienced horseman will
not have to walk around the animal
twice iu order to tell a Texas pony; that
is, one whi h is full bred, with no ad
mixture. He has tine deer-like legs, a
very long bods, with a pronounced roach
just forward of the coupling, and pos
sibly a "glass eye" and a pinto hide.
Auy old cowboy will point him out as
the only creature suitable for his pur
pines. Hard to break, because he has
any amount of latent devil in his dis
position, ho di ei not break his legs or
fall over backward iu the "pitching''
process as does tho "eayue of the
.Northwest. 1 think he is small and
shriveled up like a Mexican because ef
hi dry, hot li. ibilat, over which he has to
walk many mi e to (let bis dinner. But,
in compensation, he can cover leagues
of his native plains, bearing a tveri
ingly dispropoitiouutuly large ruun, with
an ease both to himself and to his rider
which is little short of miraculous.

ONE MURE.
When man and time ltaelf were peers,
In the far days before the flood,
And living souls had flesh and blood,
Five hundred or a thousand years,
Till birthdays grew a misty guess,
What signified one mora or lessi
Ah me! no thought may now contemn
That unit of the lives of men,
Whose dwindled years are one to ten
Of Adam and Methusnlem,
And one hath all the cares that grew
In twenty when the world was new.
A yearl 'tis nature's morn and night,
The lifetime of a plant, with dower
Of seed and sprout and leaf and flower;
And yet before its snows are white
We claim the next, and plan to run
Another journey round the sun.
Onr course of being hath no goal,
Alone in passing youth or age
The onward step, the further stage,
Is counted by the insatiate soul,
That haunts the Future's open door
And cries for one to-morrow more.
And though the new to-morrows beam
On thankless slight and wilful waste,
And greed of mortals crazed with haste.
Who hope and scheme and wish and dream
Still, added to life's growing sum,
In mercy one by one they come.
One more reprieve from sorrow's stress,
One more delay for duty's stent,
One more probation to repent,
One mora condition of success
We ever crave. The boon is lent;
We take but we are not content
Do New Years rise and set in vain ,
Because uneasy spirits fret!
Not so: the world hath wisdom yet,
And punctual sense of present gain,
And faith, whoso patience waits so long
Its yearning doeth tinn no wrong.
And Heaven, that chides the rash and blind,
Relents when love of life entreata.
And still with granted seasons meets --
The common prayer of all mankind,
And give eternity whose store
Of years forever yields one more.
