In tho manufacture of paper this coun try has been making tremendous strides during tho last few years. The industry has been brought to such a high state of development, and the production re duced so much in cost by improved ma chinery and tho successful use of wood pulp under a special process, that a large export trade has been established, par ticularly with England.

Their world was a world of enchantment) A world of luminous light Cam out with a flaring of carmine, From all the black spaces of night; The music of morn was as blithesome And cheery as music could be But all through the dawn and the daybreak I mourned for the song of the sea. They showed me the marvellous flowors And fruit of thetr sun-beaten lands; They said, "-Here are vine-tangled valleys; Forget ye the barren white sands; For a weariness unto the spirit The dash of the breakers must bo; Bo dwell ye beside our blue waters; Forget the sad song of the ana." And I wrapped ni about in the sunlight, On the marge of a dimpling stream, And there In a tangle of lilies, ' I wove mo a wonderful dream; And a song from my dreamland went float ing t Far up where the angels must bo, But deep In it under vibrations I heard the swout song of the soa. With tha dew in his locks all a-glitter, The Prince of the Daytime lay dead; For the silver-white lance of the twilight Bmote off the gold crown from his head; And the Princess of Night camo to see him, Her light all about him to hang; And a nightingale screened iu tho thicket Her song to the slumberer sang. And the stream from Mie tangle of lilies Came winding its way through the sedge; And a silvery nocturne It rippled Among the tall flags on lUedge; But iu babble I fain would have given For the deep-woing sea voices' lull. And the nightingale's song would have bar tered For a desolate cry of a gull. Their world was a world of enchantment; And they laughed with the laughter of When I turned me away from it beauty In the light of the luminous morn; But I heard a grand voice In the distance Instantly calling to me, And I rose with a jubilant spirit And followed the song of the sea. Harriet Whitney, in Brlora"s Magazine. DAISY'S FARM. Daisy was engaged, and her betrothed was receiving the merry congratulations of the family, consisting of her uncle, her aunt and nearly a round dozen of cousins. Wharton Hill, a young lawyer, slowly winning name and fame in his profession, was being vigorously bandshaken and noisily welcomed by the Trucmans when Ned cried : "Perhaps you didn't know Daisy was n heiress, Wharton!" "Ned don't!" said Duisy reproach fully. "A landed proprietress," cried Tom. "I do not refer to the paltry six hundred year she draws from her father's estate, but to her own property." "Her farm, in fact!" cried Sue. "Yes; her farm," echoed Ned, coming to the front once more. "When you are tired of the luw you can start gentleman farming upon your country seat." After they were all gono, having jested a long timo on the subject, Wharton was surprised to see tears iu Daisy's soft, brown eyes. "What is it, darling?" ho asked. "They don't mean to hurt my feel ings," Daisy said gentby, "but they will jest about my farm, and and I don't like it." "Then you really own a farm?" "It is not a valuable possession, as you will see when I tell you about it. When I was a baby, soon after mamma died, I wai very ill, aud the doctors ad vised my father to send me to the coun try for change of air. There was an old servant of father's family, who had mar tied a farmer and was left a widow with a small farm. Such a farm, Wharton! The house bos only three rooms, aud looks as if a high wind would utterly de molish it; the land is so poor that it is low starvation to cultivate it. But it was all the home Margaret had. You may judge that sho was very glad to re ceive the liberal prico father paid for me, and my own mother could not have given me more loving care. Every year father came to' take me away, and every year was persuaded to leave me, until I was eight years old, and a marvel of rugged health and perfect ignorance. Then I was put in boarding school, but I still spent my summer vacutions with old Margaret, and my trunk was always half filled with comforts for her. Having no one in the world who claimed kindled with her no one elso but mo to love, Margaret loved me with her whole heart. 6ix years ago, after father died and I came here to live with with Uncle Tom, Margaret died and left me her farm. It has been a joke in the family ever since. The pluce is so utterly valueless that we can neither sell it nor rent it, and it represents only the love of an old woman for her nursling." "Some time we will visit it. Ycu have not told me its locality." "It U iu Pennsylvania, nine miles from anywhere, father used to say, be cause it is nine miles oS the railroad. But you can always hiro a wagon or car riage at G to go over to Corn's Mill, and my farm is very near Corn's Mill." After this explanation, Wharton bore the jesting about Daisy's real estate with perfect good nature and declared his in tention of erecting a palatial country seat upon the place, when he became a mill ionaire and Judge of the Superior Court. Being people of modest desires, and having an income of about $600 apiece, Wharton and Daisy saw no reason to do lay their wedding, and were married with a large assemblage of true friends around them. They went to housekeep ing iu a little house, . modestly fur nished, and were fair specimens of "love in a cottage." But Wharton Hill was ambitious. Hav ing studied bis profession under great difficulties, often gcing huugry to buy needful books, ofteu losing his night's rest to pore over knotty points, ho was both fond and proud of his life work, and strove to win a good position therein. His love for Daisy true, honest love was never allowed to Interfere wat kit pursuit of fame in bis profession, and after ho was married he attacked his studies with fresh ardor, spending his time in his office when not actually en gaged in the court room. Littlo Daisy, whose lifo was affection, found timo often hanging heavily upon her bands, as Wharton became moro and more popular and the number of his cli ents increased. But she was always ready with loving welcome when ho did come to his home, and sho knew that much of his ambition and ardor was for her sake. The third year of hor married lifo was nearly over, and her only child, Tom Trucman Hill, was eighteen months old, when Wharton, ever busy and full of energy, began to complain of racking pain in his head and loss of memory. Often in the midst of an argument the thread of his speech slipcd from hi mind and cost a great mental struggle, to be resumed. Ho fought the symptoms bravely, but Daisy was full of terror at the change in him. Ho grew haggard and restless, oppressed with vague fears ol loss of reason and really suffering great physical pain. At last, much against his will, he al lowed Daisy to call in tho family phy sician, whose advice was simple, but strongly urged, consisting of two words only "Perfect rest." "Tho brain is overworked," ho ex claimed, "and no medicine will avail while he persists in -study and practice. Get him away if you can. H'ln this is May a good timo for a country trip. Take him to the country, Mrs. Hill." Wharton rebelled. It was ruin to leave his office, where cases of import ance were in his hands. He must work or they might all starve. He would de cline some of the practice offered him ; would tako little, trips during the sum mer; would, in short, temporize. And then Daisy little, brown-eyed Daisy whose voice was as soft as a flute, who was scarcely larger than a well grown child of twelve, "put her foot down." Such a might of a foot I It was absurd to imagine it had any weight in tho world's machinery; but it was down and Daisy kept it there. Tom was a lawyer and Tom could take Wharton's cases for the summer months. There was her farm a poor place, to be sure, but at least a house, and with some fur niture in it and surrounded by beautiful scenery, possessing the purest of air and water. With six hundred a year they would not starve, and there was a nest egg in bank in case of an emergency. Wharton pshawed! Wharton fumed. All in vain. Resolute little Daisy packed trunks, arranged her household, engaged her one half-grown girl to ac company tho party as child's nurse and enlisted the cutiro Trucman family on her side. And Wharton, finding those queer feelings in his head increasing, tho dizzy spells becoming more frequent, finally submitted to fute, in the person of Daisy, explained tho various points at issue to Tom Trueman, and, accompanied by wife, child and nurse, took up his journey to Corn's Mill. It was early morning when a rickey old wagon containing the party and boggugo entered an enclosure that had once been a fence and the fam ily took possession of Daisy's farm. The prospect was not encouraging. The bouse had not improved in years of emptiness aud neglect, and even Daisy's heart sank at tho broken roof, tbe tumble down doors, the shaky windows. But, she said, covering her dismay with a brave smile, "there they were, and they must make the best of it !" Jennie, the nurse, proved a treasure and tho women were soon busy "putting to rights," while Wharton took Tom on an exploring expedition over the estate. There was a queer glance in his eyes as ho came back again in time for din ner, but ho only said : ''I can't quite trust my own head yet, Daisy but is there a postoffice at Corn's Mill?" "Yes, the mail goes out twice a week." "Qivo me a sheet of paper and an en velope, that's a dear." "Now, Wharton, that is not resting." "I'll only writea dozen lines, dear." The dozen lines being written and posted Wharton seemed to find an un failing source of amusement roving about the farm, poking holes in the ground with" a short cane, often kneel ing down to examine the earth so turned over. Daisy hinted at planting some vegetables, though sho said despond ently: "I don't suppose they will grow if we do." "Never mind tho beans and peas now, love. Wait till we have an answer to my letter." A week later, when Juno was young, tho answer came in the person of two men one white haired aud absent minded, tho other young aud emphati cally business-like. Wharton gave them cordial welcome, and after partaking of a substantial luncheon the three started out upon the farm. Little Duisy, intensely happy in the knowledge that Wharton had not bad one dizzy turn since their arrival ou the farm, that he had the appetite of a plow boy and was cheerful and full of anima tion, was busy baking a butch of pies when the three gentlemen returned to the house. She could see them from the kitchen window as tHey came over the neglected path, aud saw that Wharton's eyes were full of exultation, his face flushed, his carriuge erect. He looked like some one newly laden with good tidings, and all three were talking eagerly and earnestly. Daisy wondered a littlo and scorched one of her pies. While she carefully pared the burned edgoof crust the kitchen dorr opened, and Wharton, heedless of her big calico apron iud bure aims, ushered in tho stronger. "Mrs. Hill," he said, bowing with great deference, "uccept my congratula tions upon your great good foitune." "In scorching my pie?" laughed Daisy. "Iu owning tifteeu acies of coal land." "I don't understand," Daisy faltered. 'The farm, my dear, your legacy from your old nurse, is one solid bed of coal, and there 13 no t" wiui ten miles or it. Nobody knows how much lies beyond your fences in tho vacant land about us, but in my mind's cyo I see this a colony of miners." "Aro you sure, Wharton?" "I suspectoi it tho first day wc came, but having no experience I wrote to ono of my clients in Pottsville to send me an experienced hand to test my suspicious. These gentlemen confirm my opinions." "There is no doubt about the coal, ma'am," said the old gentleman, "nor any about its lying so near tho surfaco that it can soon be available." "The question is," said the younger stranger, "whether you will sell out or open the mine yourself. I am authorized to make you nu offer if you wish to dis pose of tho property." "Timo enough for that," said Whar ton. "I will return with you to Potts ville." "Wharton no business." "Don't fear, Daisy; this kind of busi ness won't injure me. You will let mo decide in the matter?" "Certainly." And the decision, after Wharton had spent a mouth in Pottsville, was to sell out to a company who was already buy ing up tho vacant laud surrounding tho farm. Tho young lawyer knew nothing of mining and had no desira to learn, but he was no fool, aud ho made satisfactory terms for the salo of tho "estate," and Daisy returned homo a wealthy woman. A European trip restored tho health of the young lawyer, and he resumed prac tice a year afterward, with every hope of one day realizing tho vision of fame, while littlo Duisy, still rather dazed at her new fortune, entered upon domestic duties iu a grand house, with servants, carriages, horses, plate and jewels. "It is like a fairy tale, Wharton," she said, "to thiuk of that miserable place being so valuable. Poor Margaret littlo realized the fortune she was bestowing upon me when she left me all she owned her farm. . The Trueman cousius, scaring in all generous Daisy's gifts and entertain ments, no longer jest ucnsivolv, but speak in the most respectful terms of that precious legacy, Daisy's farm. Hea York Herald. 0,ueen Victoria's Coach Horses. The eight horses attached to Queen Victoria's coach used upon state occa sions are of tho famous Hanoverian breed big,stalwart creams with ghastly wall eyes; most folk pronounce them splendid specimens of equine beauty. These horses are still brod in Hanovor, and tho sever est pains nro taken to keep tho stock pure. If at birth the colt is not a pure cream, or if subsequently it develops some defect, it is killed. In this way none but sound and distinct-colored horses aro to be met with in this peculiar brand. In Hanover, however, all the horses are not first class; about fifty per cent, of tbe horses you seo in tho streets aro slight and ill-shapen and bony crea tures. Tho Dutch horses seem to average bet ter than those of any other nation; they ure of noble size, of distinct color, and are strong, hardy and intelligent. Nearly all the horses you see in Holland aro sbek, glossy and handsome. Tho Dutch man takes the best cure of his horse. If the weather be inclement ho leaves the horse at home in tho warm stable and hitches up his wife and the family dog to the plough or to tho farm wagon. In Germany tho larger dogs aro made to do service as drawers of small carts; a stout dog, properly broken, will outwork the average pony. Then, too, while tho mas ter is away tho dog guards tho property to which he is attached. Rett York World. Hovr the London Thieves Steal. It is hard upon people who aro on a genuine search for lodgings that they should be subjected to suspicion in the houses they visit, but the thief or thieves whose happy bunting-ground is any place where he sees "apartments to let" is again so active that tho police are obliged to warn landlords aud landladies to receive all visitors with caution. The lodging-house thief hus one peculiarity. He devises pretexts for being left nlouo in a room and then secures his pocket able booty. We hear that the police are also deeply interested iu another class of thief who hovers about the doors of baukB. If au innoceut looking messenger cf tender years comes out with money the thief bears down upou the unsuspecting child and surprises him or her into a sur render of the cash by a bold statement that a mistake has been made, that the check has to be indorsed, or something of that sort. We should have thought this a particularly hazardous enterprise for the thief in these duys of sharp chil dren, and it ought not to bu long before the police make a capture. London Xeus. Birth or Cyclone. The inhabitants of Connelly Springs, a small hamlet near Nevada, Mo., were thrown into a terriblo fright by tha for mation of a cyclone directly over their town, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The section was devastated by a cy clone about two years ago, and the peo ple knew by experience whut to expect. As described by au eye-witness, it re sembled the lower half of a big balloon. From the sack-liko lower cud a white ribbon-like streamer had a serpentino mo tion and seemed in great commotion. It swung off nearly horizontally to the south for some distance from the main cloud, when it curved and took a per pendicular course. About three miles east of Connelly Springs a long piece of this whirling ribbon seemed to break loose and dart to the earth, from which soon appeared a great cloud of dust and debris. The cloud, with its trailing streamer, moved ofl in un easterly and northerly direction over St. Clair Couuty, appear ing to get nearer the earth. So fur as heard from, no particular damage wus done in that county. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL, j Electricity can now be used to operuti A machine for mining coal. Electric hoistinar engines for dock use, are among the latest devices iutro duccd. A new electrical coal cutter is beinji brought out in Boston. It makes twe four-inch cuts in five minutes. A silver lode, yielding forty-fivo pet cent, of pure metal, has been discovered in the bed of the Itivcr Donctz in South ern Russia. . Tho longest crane in the world has just been completed by the Morgan Engineer ing Company, of Alliance, Ohio; it will lift 150 tons. By a now method of cementing iron the parts cemented aro so effectually joined as to resist tho blows even of a sledge hammer. Tests in Germany of a new electrically controlled steering apparatus show that the Captain can control the rudder from the bridge or from nny point about tho deck. Coffee is found to have a remarkable. nti-septic power, its effect in destroying microbes seeming to be due to em pyreumatic oils, developed in roasting, nd not to caffeine. It has lately been shown that if two coins aro placed on opposite, sides of a plate of glass and electrified for two minutes they will leave a perfect image of themselves upon the glass. Tho perfected target for firing at the !mall-arm ranges is worked by electricity. By means of contact and a battery there is communication with the indicating ap paratus at the firing end of the range mowing which section of the target has been struck. In the new audio-telephono that has recently appeared In England the prin :ipal characteristic is the mouthpiece, tho particular advantage of which is that it intensifies the sound waves, making it possible to carry on a conversation iu an ordinary tone of voice. The new eye-piece for tho Lick telc icope, in California, is fifty per cent, larger than any lens of the kind yet con ducted. The light from the heavenly oodies, seen through tho Lick telescopo with this new eye-piece, will be 2000 ames as bright as that seen with the naked eye. - Professor Elihu Thompson says that in the near future railways will be run by jlectricity. By this he means not only the small roads for cities and suburban listricts, but the large ones connecting ;ities, and he looks for a higher speed than is now attained with the steam iocomotive. In order to keep machinery from rust ing take one ounce of camphor, dissolv ing it in a pouud of lard ; take off the icum and mix as much fine black lead is will give it iron-color. Clean tho ma chinery and smear it with this mixture. After twenty-four hours, rub clean with loft, linen cloth. It will keep clean for months under ordiuary circum tauces. In Canada there is a nickel company which has a nickel mino. The ore is nixed with copper and after the dross is taken off the alloy is called matto, which contains about seventy per cent, of nickel nd thirty per cent, of copper. This is ihipped to Germany and Swansea, in Wales, whero the secret is jealously guarded of the process by which tho two metals are separated. Ramie spinning mills have now in creased to four in France, being operated by La Socicte Generate de la Ramie of Maulany, Simmonet of Warnerville, Ga-relle-Briere of Lille, and the Socicte La Ramio Fraucaise, who havo two estab lishments, ono at Essonnes with 2000 spindles and a doubling plant, and one at Entraygers with 5000 spindles. The last-named company is the most impor tant, and besides spinning is also en gaged in weaving. They have twenty looms at work for ramio cloth, ten ma chines for curtains, etc. An Electrical Whirlwind. Mr. Charles F. Ua-fer's farm on tho Monticello road, about four miles from this city, was recently the scene of rather a remarkable occurrence. Mr. Hcefer's attention was attracted by several loud reports, which he likens to the discharge of n gun, at the edge of some woods bordering bis cotton field. Immediately a whirling column of dust and debris was seen to take a circular course from the woods through the cot ton field and back to tho woods agaiu, sweeping aloft everything in its path. A colored man employed in the field fled for his life, but caught enough of the force of the whirlwind to blister his back, so he said. On examination it was found that all along the track of the whirling column the leaves of the cotton had beeu scorched as if by fire, but no other dam age was done. Columbia (S. C) Hegit tcr. Some Enormous Hammers. Sightseers in St. Louis, Mo., always take a lively interest in tho monster trip hammers used in the various large iron works, which, although as largo as any thing of tho kind to be found within tho limits of the United States, are but pigmies when com pu red with those used in the great rolling mills aud gun foundries of Europe. At the Teini works iu Italy there is a hammer which weighs fifty tons. It was cast in 1673, und is said to have takcu ninety days to cool sufficiently to admit of being set in position. Alexaudrovakl, Hussiu, has one ten tons heavier that was cast in 1S71. At the Crenstot works iu France there is ono of eighty tons. It was made in 1877 and sets on an auvil block of 100 tons weight. The Cockerille works in Belgium have a 100-ton hammer, aud tlu Krupp gun works at Esseu, Germany, have one of 150 tuns. The last uameo hummer is the largest now used iu tht world .

A Ten-Year Course of Study AVhat Is TauRbt Instruction in Trades, Farming and Household Unties. With seventy-six Sioux children from Dakota and fifty-one from tribes In the Indian Territory, tbe great Indian train ing school at Carlisle, Pcnn., was opened November 1, 1879. It now has 800 en rolled, representing fifty different tribes, and the graduating class this year num bered forty-three. In tbe early years tho school was obliged to breast a fierce op position from ninny quarters, but year by year tho school grew. The name of Carlisle is now known in every Indian camp and there are few reservations cast of the Sierras which have not iu them re turned Carlisle students. The course of study pursued comprises ten years' training iu the ordinnry Eng lish branches, and at the end of tho ten year period the Indian child is gradu ated. He is still two years below tbe grade of tho high school graduato in the public schools, but he can read, write and figure his way nlongside the average white boy. Tbe children upon entering the school are filthy, untrained to habits of cleanli ness, wedded to the vices of the savage and accoutred in the habiliments of the wigwam. Their hair is loug and the comb aid brush are strangers. The school work proper nt Carlisle is supplemented and mado all tho more useful by systematic industrial truiuiug. Many of the boys are apprenticed to trades at which they arc obliged to labor a part of every day. Those who have no aptitude for the trades aro assigned to farm work and employed in the dairy. Hundreds of boys have been sent out to farmers nud dairymen and others to tradesmen and mechanics, where they can learn not only to work, but learu also how white people live. Tho girls ure likewise taught houso duties, gardening, dairyiug, etc. Eveiy pupil, male or female, at Carlisle, works every day except holi days and when ill. As a consequence every pupil returns to home knowing how to do something and to do it well, whether ho uses his kuowledgo or other wise. There are shops in which blacksmith ing, printing, carpentering, shoemuking, hamessmnkiug, tailoring, tin work and wagon making arc skilfully done and taught. The pupils of Carlisle make heir own clothing, boots and shoes, and do nearly all the mcchanic.ul work about the large establishment. They successfully manage a largo farm aud dairy. They made bust year 412, 000 for themselves, besides producing a great deal of food, and making numer ous articles for the school. This school furnishes the Indian servico harness, wagons and tinware. It is an immense workshop, and all the labor is performed by Indians, the white employes directing them. Aud at the commencement these, same lads and lassies, who work half tlio timo with their hands, showed that they put in the other half to good advantage with their books. Their essays, orations, de clamations and songs would compare fa vorably with those of any white high school. Omalui World. Chinese Sailors. Their dress is a curious com proiuiso be tween the flowing robes of their native country and the blue jacket and bell bottomed breeches of the British tar, from whom they took their first lessons in the art of maritime warfare. They wear a blouse cut low at the neck, with white cords like the pictures of Tom Bowling, but it fits high about their necks instead of showing the neck liko the British or Americau shellback. Their trousers are very loose, and liko the nether garments of all their country men bang down below their bodies at tlio back between their legs. The euds are shoved into the legs of high, felt, thick soled boots. Around their waists they wear a belt of turkey red or blue or black stuff, several yards long, neatly fattened at the side by shoving the end under the fold. The color of the dress is invaria bly a dark blue, tho material thin cotton in tho summer and heavier stuff in tho winter, when they pad themselves out with all Borts of cotton wool lined gar ments underneath, which give them a wonderfully rotund and overlcd appear auce. The latter is certainly a misrepre sentation of their general condition, for they are not troubled with provender, although they certainly get enough to keep themselves well. But it is out of tho "chow chow" of the men tbut tbe officers get their biggest "squeeze." On the whole, however, the udiuinistiation of the navy is infinitely superior to tbut of the Chinese army, mainly because of the presence of so many foreigners ou board the ships, and the strict eye of Admiral William Lang (formerly Captain in the British navy, who with Ting Ju Chang, is joint Admiral) over all mutters of discipline aud accounts. A great deal of the tllicieuey of the l'cl-yang squudrou is due to this ublu officer, who comes from a.family that has given many dis tinguished officers to the English navy. It is hardly necessary to say that tbe crews ure drilled iu foreign fashion, and they become very expert and smart suitors. It is a rather anomalous sight to see them running up the rigging with their buggy clothes und their pigtails curled round their beads, fastened with a loug piece of black cloth, ami manning the yards when saluting sumo high official or another man-of-war. Life on board a Chinese man -of war is pretty much liko that on board most other war ships, idlo and monotonous, with little to do beyond keeping the ves sel clean and the gum bright. Coutrury to whut might, perhaps, bo expectcd,tho Chinese war sbis are generally cleaner tlmu anything else Cbiuese, aud the out sides at least are kept iu order. They are invariably black, with a yellow funuel, and present a very business-like frout to the spectator. Vi York Jlerall.
