The song Is the shriek of the strong that are slain— The monarchs that people the woodlands of Maine; 'Tis the ery of a merciless war, And it echoes by river, by lake, and by stream, Wherever saws scream or the bright axes gleam. And the song is the song of the saw. Como stand in the gloom of this clamorous room, Where giants groan past us a-drip from tho boom. Borne here from the calm of tho forest and hill, Aghast at the thunderous roar of tho mill, At rumble of pulley and grumblfl of shaft And the tumult and din of the sawyer's rude craft. Stand here in tho ebb of the riotous blast. As the saw's mighty carriage goes thunder ing past, One man at the lever and one at tho dog. The slaughter is bloodless and senseless tho log, Yet the anguish of death and the torment of hell Are quivering there in the long, awful yell. That shrills above tumult of gearing and wheel As the carriage roars down arid the timber meets steel. Scream! And a board is laid bare for a home, Shriek! And a timber f>r mansion and dome. For the walls of a palace, or toil's homely use Is reft from tho flanks of tho prostrate King Spruce, And thus in tho clamor of pulley and wheel. In the plant of tho wood and the slash of tho steel, Is wrought the undoing of Maine's sturdy lords— The martyrs that Nature yields up to our ewords. Tho song is the knoll ot these strong that nre slain, The monarchs that people the woodlands of 'Maine, And the Fury that whirls by mechanical law, With rioting teeth and insatiable maw, Is the saw; And this is the song of the saw. Holman F. Day iu Lewiston Journal. i O Teelo Was lb M { J l?y nU. S. Nnvnl Officer. Naval sailors are very prone to wax superstitious over queer happenings on beard the ships whereon they serve, aud a cruiser now out on the Pacific station, to which I was attached a few years ago, might easily have got a re putation us a "bewitched ship" on a certain uncanny occasion had not the mystery been so prosaically cleared up. The ship was ordered from Mare island to San Diego, to take part in the winter flower fiesta at San Diego, Cal., and, incidentally, togo through its semi-annual great gun practice and deep-water drills as a side issue of the excursion. When we got into the har bor of San Diego tho people ashore made a whole lot of us, and tho men forward were almost taken of their foot with the hospitality they found "011 the beach." 111 truth, everything came so easy for them iu San Diego that the ship's company was a good deal demoralized, and, liheral as iho skipper was in the matter of overlook ing absenteeism 011 the part of the blue-jackets, tlie master-at-arms was kept pretty busy all the tune putting off to the beach to bring in long-over due sailors who got so mixed up in tho whirl of the carnival that they couldn't navigate back to the ship. After wo had been' in the harbor of San Diego for a week it became neces sary for all hands to report aboard,for the captain decided to ha\e a lirst rate exhibition of the drill, "all hands abandon ship." So the chief maste at-arnis went ashore for a big round up of the derelicts, and he succeeded in gathering in all of the liberty break ers except onu man, ail oiler, named O'Toole. O'Toole had been five days over his leave, and when the Jimmy Legs returned to the ship with the boat load he had hauled in and re ported that O'Toole wasn't findable anywhere, the oiler's chances for a general court-martial when he did re turn were considered of the best. Steam was got up in a couple of the boilers aud the ship jiulle 1 out into the open harbor for the ''all hand abandon ship" exercise, a big tlock of tugs and yachts, carrying people from San Diego who wanted to take in tho drill, following after us. Now, when the? ollcer of tho deck passes the word and the bo's'n's mate gives a prolonged blast 011 his pipe and brawls that lousf-drawn-out.rather moving call, "All lia-a-nds abandon ship!" there is surely a whole lot of movement oa an American man-of-war, for it is the most exacting drill on the program, not even excepting the drill, "clear ship for action." Every man in a ship's company has got a number, aud in the abandon-ship drill his num ber calls upon him to do certain things, and the hurrying and scurrying for five minutes after the call goes is something lively to look at. The deck crew handles the boats, load them up with provisions and all useful appli ances for a prolonged season in the open sea, and every man in the "black gang" down below in the engineer's . department has also a good deal of business on hand. If the ship i 1 ? under steam the tires are banked, the valves are set, the engines all locked fast, water-tight compartments closed, and everything below arranged so that in case the ship really doesn't go down she shall be found in decent, ship shape order iu case she rides through and is picked up later on with a haw ser. Thus every man has t*ot to be on the jump to do his little act, other wise, when the skipper, who is the last man to leave the ship, makes his tour of inspection of the ship 110 is about to abandon to see that every thing is right and taut, the bluejacket who has neglected his little part is likely to get into trouble aud a heap of it. Well, when tho ship had steamed a couple of miles from the anchorage road in the harbor of San Diego tin call "All hands abandon ship" sudden ly went, and the usual rush ensued Within just fonr and a half minutei from the time the call went all hands were in the boats, and the captain's gig was alongside waiting for the old gentle' man to finish his rapid inspection and shake the ship himself. After he had seen that everything was made tight, the skipper stepped iuto his gig, whiek sheered off instantly, and there was the flue white cruiser standing utterlj deserted in the swell, with everj officer and man of the crew in boats two or three hundred yards of. Tin drill was u first-rate success, and thf skipper was getting readv to pour oil I his expression of approval as he stood in the stern sheets of his gig, when a queer thing happened. The watei right above the twin screws began to churn, and the ship slowly got into motion. The wheel, before tlie shij was abandoned, had been lathed hard aport, and the cruiser, under a prettj fair headway cf steam, to judge froir the churning of the propellers, begar to turn around rapidly in circles. Yon never saw such a sensation on land 01 sea as that job created. It was utterlj inexplicable. Ths engineer oflicei! knocked their foreheads like erazj men. There was absolutely no theory upon which the movement of the alii): could be explained. The steam had been shut off the main Btenmpipe be fore the ship was abandoned, and ii i? quife an operation to get a ship's steam into her cylinders and to make everything ready to turn the engines. But there circled the ship, apparently turning on a pivot, and obviously under as much steam as there was left in the boilers. "She's a bloomin* witch!" soaio of the old-time flat-feet of the crew shouted, and the men looked at thf crazy acting ship with a bit of fear in their eyes. She was circling about still when the chief engineer, who was in the steaui cutter, had the cox'un make for the cruiser's starboard gang way with all speed, and in a short time he, with half a dozen other officers and men, had clamber ad aboard and were lushin'g down the engine room hatch. Well, the chief engineer, the first man to reach the engine room, found Mr. O'Toole, oiler, at the throttle of the port engine. O'Toole was as drunk as an owl, and he smoked a clay pipe, turned upside down, with all the com placency in life. The chief eugineei had tho man by the throat in a jiffy, and a couple of minutes later, when some of the marines got aboard O'Toole was putin irons in solitary confinement. When O'Toole got sober enough he was brought to the mast and questioned l>y the skipper. It seem* that 011 the night before, O'Toole, being in a crafty state of drunkenness, and knowing he would be thrust into the brig immediately lie arrived aboard the ship for liberty breaking, had hired a shore-boatman to puli him off to the ship. Instead of taking him to the gangway the boatman, acting under instructions from his crafty, jagged passenger, quietly pulled the boat alongside the anchor chains, and O'Toole was just limber enough to shin up the chains, under cover of darkness in the middle of the night, and, after reaching the to'gallant fo'c'sle, sneak down below to an empty bunker, along with a couple of quart bottles of whisky. He had come to life just as the "All hands abandon ship" call went, and, with his carcass full of whisky, he took it into his head that it was his part of the job to set the ship in motion. So he had turned the steam into the cylinders of the port engine, set tho throttle at the full-speed-ahead notch, and just let her go. It was lucky the wheel was lashed hard aport, or the ship would unquestionably have been beached, instead of simply turning in a circle. O'Toole got a general court-martial and was "beached" without imprison ment, and the bluejackets lost their chance to call the cruiser a "bewitched ship." ALL THEY COULD HOPE FOR. Why I lie <Joocl Demi Wlahed Mr*. ICeilcy \Vn« Hospitably Inclined. As many people know, Dean Red ding was a man whose broad mind had a remarkably cheerful, not to say hopeful, turn to it. His wife, on the contrary, took things very seriously, aud had 110 small difficulty to accus toming herself to the peculiarities of her 11 ighb.n-fi when, as not unfre quentlv happened, they differed more or less markedly from her own. On one 0.-casiou, shortly alter tha dean had b.en moved to a new parish in the working district, the worthy woman had been out calling among the poorer parishiouers,and had found them by no means more remarkable for their lack of religion than for the lack of all cleanliness. "John," she cried, returning lioino in a state of no small agitation, con siderably heightened by indignation and dismay, "what do you think they say of Mis. Reiley, the butcher's wife'.'" "Why, my love," responded her sagacious husband, too well verse - } in th i capability of mankind to say any thing about anyone, even a butcher's wife, to hazard any rash opinion, "I'm sur ■ I don't know. What? Nothing serious, L hope?" "They say—they actually say*—they can tell when she's going to have com pany by her washing tho children's faees! Now, you're a pretty sauguiue man, John, but what 011 earth can you hope for of a woman like that?" Dean Redding stroked his beard th nifctitfully for * longtime. "Well," h > said at last, with a sort of half sigh to hide the humor no wise hus band cares to show in considering the difficulties of his wife, "I suppose about all wj can hope for is that she entertains a good deal."—Life. 1 THE REALM OF FASHION.

A fitted waist of white liberty silk having the usual seams and double bust darts forms the foundation for l ,he full waist of net. The closing is in centre front over which the full gathered vest is arranged, being se cured permanently to the right front »nd hooked over on the left. The standing collar of white silk has three rows of black satin ruched ribbon in WOMAN'S WALKING TOILET. a narrower width applied on its edges and centre, its lower edge being joined to the full vest aud closed with it at tho left shoulder. The under portions of the sleeves are smooth, the upper being in two portions that are gathered and stylishly arranged over fitted linings. The ribbon appears between the centre edges that form tuck shirrings. The waist is finished with a shape girdle of black satin. Many stylish combinations may be thus arranged, the mode being suit able for silk or thin woolen fabrics as well as for net, organdie, grenadine or lace. Vui'ivHllecl for Elegance. Colored costumes may be selected with a view to becomingness and tho fashion of the moment, but a street toilet of fine black cheviot or broad sloth is unrivaled for elegance and re finement of style. Rlack cheviot is shown in the large engraving, united with velvet (both of good quality), the closing being made in centre front, with tailor-covered buttons and but tonholes. Simplicity and smartness are equally combined in the basque, the tailor-made style being greatly re lieved by lapels, collar and cuffs of velvet, that makes the finishing of such a garment easy of accomplish ment. The waist portion is rendered glove fitting by double-bust darts, underarm and sideback gores, the back portions being of full length and ending in coat laps below the waist-line. The cut away basque portions fitted over the hips by short single darts are joined to the pointed lower outline of waist, meeting the backs in deep coat laps that are marked at the top by single buttons. Above the closing the fronts are reversed to form lapels that meet the rolling collar in notches. The fashionable two-seamed sleeves are fitted at the top by four short uarta, which may be omitted in favor of pleats or gathers, if so preferred. The wrists are finished with flaring pointed cuffs of velvet. The seams are strapped with bands of ribbon vel vet. The skirt comprises seven gores, the novel feature being the shaping that gives a distinct spring at the foot of each gore, suggesting tlie flare of a circular flounce. A close adjustment is presented at the top, and the ful ness at the back is laid in single back ward-turning pleats that meet over the placket finished in the centre-back seam. Basques in this style may match or contrast with the skirt iu broadcloth, velvet, poplin or satin. Braid may be used as decoration, or a simple tailor finish of stitching may be adopted. A V'teful Ulster. The useful ulster or long coat is again in tho front rank of fashion's parade. The protection and comfort it affords are too well known to be long lost sight of, and for school girls there is no top coat that can well take its place. Beaver-colored cheviot cloaking is the material here repre sented, the finish being strictly in tailor style, with double rows of ma chine stitching. Clear crystal buttons are used in closing the double-breasted fronts, which are loose fitting, but under arm and side back gores with a curving centre seam render a clos« adjustment in sides and back. Stylish coat laps are formed in centre and backward turning plaits at the end of the side back seams just below the waist liue. The fronts are uuder faced and reversed at the top to form lapels. The neck is finished with a high storm collar, a pointed strap buttoned across the front holding it close to the neck when raised for pro tection in inclement weatlier. Pockets are inserted in the fronts and are finished with stitched laps. The napes are circular in shapo and may be made with or without a centre back seam. ' Ail kinds of cloaking fabrics, broadcloth, Kersey, Scotch and Eng lish tweed, diagonal, heavy serge and cheviot in mixed, checked or plain weaves are used to make top coats in this style. While but few are lined throughout, nn unmistakable touch of daintiness is given to the capes by th? occasional peep of a pretty silk MISSES' LONG COAT WITH I'APli;-. lining, and the adaptability of a silk lined sleeve is unquestionable. Proper attention given to pressing all seams and free edges will insure a perfect tailor finish to this garment.
