Oonn T THE WORKING MAN- Ho lays his hand upon the stubborn soil, Aud lo! a mighty miracle is done; It glows, responsive to his touch of toil, Fruitful aud fair beneath the golden sun. At bis behest the prairie is transformed; j He digs tlio desert and it disappears; Before his plow the wilderness is stormed, And leugues of corn lift up their splendid i spears. Amid his sheaves he stands a happy man. i Nor socks to solve the things beyond his ken; Content with the Ail-wise, Eternal plan Of Him who shapes the destinies of men. The sky that bends above him shows no stnrs At noon; und yet he knows the Power Divine That shaped the Pleiades and fashioned Mars In their appointed timo will bid thom shine. His hearthstone is the altar, ho the priest Of home's sweet sanctuary, day by day, In joy or sorrow. iudigHuoe or feast, Whore love unsullied keeps its gently sway. No narrowing envy occupies his breast. No schemes of avarice distress his mind; By Heaven-sent peace hissimple life is blest, And in his tasks be blesses all mankind. His labor brings the harvest to the plain, And through his bravo oxertlons millions live; He works the miracle that grows the grain And all the crops that pregnuut acres give. To bim the crowded city looks for food; From him gaunt famine flees aud squalor hides; Hl« energies sustain the multitude And where bis blessings full pale want subsides. For him the sun and stars give forth their light; For him the restless ocean ebbs and flow*; For him the radiant day, the peaceful night And all things beautiful their charms dis close. He builds the mighty ship whose progross spurns The roaring tempest on the trackless sea; His strenuous life the wheels of commerce turns And cleaves a wider space for Liberty.

God bless the honest toiler, everywhere. In mill and mine, in factory and Held! His life's tin antidote for dumb despair. His sturdy arm the Nation's surest shield.

'1 • « g An Amusing Western Experience. £ "It's queer what different ideas ! men have as to how they'll act in case they ever get involved in a train or stago 'stick-up,' or hold-up, as you j call it back this way. Myself, I've been stuck-up at the point of oue or more guns on three different occasions and on each occasion I've pointed my two mitts heavenward without any fuss of feathers whatsoever, and de livered the goods with nary a whim per. But I never figured on doing ' anything else. Before I ever got held up at ail I always said to myself that when the time arrived for some fellow to poke a gun iuto my face aud re quest me to elevate my arms, I'd do what he asked me to do without any questiou at all, and let him have all he | could find on me without any side stepping or murmuring. I considered that that was the only sensible thing to do, aud I consider so yet. So, j ■while its cost me a heap more tlian I really could afford to fork over my little.valuables ou the three occasions the boj-s of the road have nailed me, I always patted myself ou the back and told myself thut, while I mayn't have been very heroic or dare-devilish, ; I did the wise thing in gettiug away ' with a complete aud unpunctured hide. "But I've ofton met chaps who were simply going to cut a dog in two in case anybody ever tried to stick them up at the end of a gun. They , were going to decline to bo held up, and teach the bandit or bandits a lesson. It's remarkable the bravery I some of these fellows weie going to exhibit whenever any bold, bad prop osition with a mask tried to coerce i them into handing over the stuff they ! had on them. In nine cases out of ten these largo aud ample talkers are the very first to cast up their paws when the command riugs through the car or coach, 'Hands up!' and the last to take them down when the robber has fired his little parting volley and taken to the tall cactus. But you <-an never tell how a man's going to act in a stick-up. "About sis years ago I was riding through southeastern Colorado on a j train. I was only making a six-hour journey of it, and so I took the smoker and stayed there. There were about '25 or 3D men in the smoker, all pretty comfortable looking chaps. A dyspeptic-looking little man, ; about 40 years old, with a Bostonese dialect, sat in the seat ahead oi' me, ; and au hour or so after I boarded the I train he engaged me in conversation, j " 'Belong out this way?' he aske 1 1 me iu a charactei istic New England drawl. " 'Yep,' said I. " 'Reason I ask you tliftt,' said he, i •is that I've heard there have been a lot of hold-ups on the railroads out j this way lately. That right?' " 'Pretty near,' said I. " 'Ever find yourself mixed up in one of those affairs?' he asked me. " 'Couple times," I told him. " 'Did you let them go through you?' he asked me, with a searching ! look. " 'Don't you think otherwise for a ! holy minute, said I. 'I am my sole romaiuiug support, and, in general, I ! find life a pretty good game. It's the best I know anything about-, anyliow. * " 'Well,' sai<} the dyspeptic-looking little chap, iu his piping drawl, 'l'd just like to see the loafers get uuv of my money, that's all! I'd just like to catch them at it!' "I couldn't help smiling amusedly. " 'Why, what would you do?' I asked hiiu, grinning right in his teeth —I couldn't have helped it to save me. " 'Never you mind, sir, what I'd do!' said the little man, clioppily. 'l'd take good care that they didn't get any of my goods, however! I'd fix 'em! Yes, siree, the train robber doesn't walk in shoe leather that's ever going to 1 elieve me of a coppet cent, and don't you fail to remember that!' "The little man, who, as I after ward ascertained, was on his way to California for his health, looked so puff-toady and fierce while he was getting off these brave remarks that I couldn't help but laugh in his face. That nettled him a trifle, but I smoothed it over and made a remark or so to him about the general uiattei of train ho!d-ups. " 'My friend,' said I in conclusion, 'the only a.lvico I can give you is, il any of these chaps ever conies along your way and asks you to call heavoL' to witness with your hands pointing to the zenith,just you do it, that's all, and do it in a hurry; do it a-running be nice aud good about it, aud donV get gay. Dou't endeavor to be frivolous | with a man that's got the edge on yov with a 4> caliber lead-spitter.' " Must let one of 'em try it witt me, that's all!' exclaimed the little man fiercely, aud then we changed the subject. "Well, at about 0 o'clock that night we pulled up at a little station oil let Tyrone to give the engine a drink. W( only halted there about four minutes, but it was long enough. The trait hadn't got more than five miles out o' Tyrone before we heard a lot of shots up forward—the smoker was the second car from the engine—and the train came to a halt. The wheels lincl j scarcely ceased to revolve when the ; front door of the smoker was thrown open with a bang, and the oomrornd j rang through the car like the cmck oi I a whip: " 'Everybody put 'em up! Quick!' j "A tall, raw-boned man, with a straggling red mustache, stood in the j j door calmly waving his gun from side | ] to side with the characteristic move- i I ment of an expert gnn-fauner. He j | looked businoss all over. I decided | instantly—l'd put my hands up before j I'd done any deciding, however—that j he wasn't any amateur, aud that he was going to get all that was coming to him. [ couldn't help but notice that the dyspeptic-looking little man in front of me threw up his hands j with the rest, although he did a little bit of fumbliug with his right band ! before it went up io the air. j " 'rieein' that nit podner's busy - I keepiu' tab on th' loco-driver,' said the raw-boned bandit—he didn't wear ! any mask, aud there WHS a certain twinkle to his eyes as ho spoke—'l'll ! jes' ask you gentlemen to spring what j you'vo got on yon with one hand at a ! time, as I pass along, and I'll do the ■ , rest.' "Ho wore a hickory bag, suspended j by a string around his neck, in front of him—a bag similar to those worn by carpenters or lathers for holding j nails—and he just reached out his left hand and dropped wallets, watches j aud chains aud loose rolls into the bag ' as he passed along. None of the vie- j tims hud a chance to hold out any thing on him, for he was oue of the eagle-eyed species, aud ho seemed to soo all hands in the car at once. He , 1 walked sideways down the aisle so as 1 to make snre that he wouldn't be plunked from behind aftor passing ' along. He was a scientist in his busi- 1 uess, ail rigli*, was that raw-boned ! man, aud he didn't miss a trick. I j Every man up forward unquestionably j passed over his belongings to be J dropped into that roomy big. The ; little man with the Bostonese acueut , amused me, with his hands sticking up there as rigid as poles, that 1 al- j most forgot to worry about what I ! was going to !o»a when it came my ! turn. He had gune as white as a sheut I aud he l««oked more ghastly as the ! ! raw-bout"', robber approached him. i Finally it came to his turu. The rob- j ber looked him over with a half grin. i " 'Sorry, my sawed-off friend,' the 1 robber started to say, when, puff! the right hand of the dvspeptic-looking little man opened with a cat-like rapidity and the robber got a tist-full of red pepper square in the eyes! He let out an howl, and the littlo man dropped to the floor like a flash. Ho did I, for that matter. " 'The robber, yelled like a mad man, lowered his gun hand ami groped arouud with it, and half a second later he was butted in the stomach with all the force the little man from New England had in his head. That doubled the robber up, and a minute later we were all on top of him at i once. " 'i*ou will try to appropriate what ! doesn't belong yon, hey, dog gone yon!' the dyspeptic-lookiug little man j muttered, standing over the blinded bandit, who was almost insaue fro n i pain. We bound him securely, did I what we could to alleviate his pain, and I put a guard over him. The robber | who was holding up the engine, liear j ing the agonized shouts of his partner, coucluded that there was nothing ; doing, aud, firing a few bluff shots, scampered off the tender into the ! darkness. We took the raw-boned bandit to Trinidad, where he was tried, as I afterward learned, and got i2O years. And that's one time I got fooled up a whole lot in a stick-up."

Of course the very newest sleeve devel opment—"the sleeve of the year," as it is called—is the undersleeve. As the cut shows, it is much like the THE SLEEVE OF THE YEAR. identical article worn by our grand mothers in "antebellum days." "Double sleeve" is another name for it. All the smart challies and foulards boast this arm covering, which, of the foulard or ohallie, ends at the elbow, while underneath falls a scant fluff of white muslin net or lace, its fulness gathered into a close band at the wrist. The first figure of the cut, re produced from the New York Even ing Sun, shows a pretty frock in mot tled foulard having undersleeves and yoke iu transparent net. Embroidery Ik g J NEW AND NOVEL OUTING COSTUMES. over velvet trims tho foulard, while the left side of the bodice is fastened with silver bnttons and clasps. The other cut shows a simpler undersleeve model, but one equally effective. The turn-back finish of the upper sleeve is known as the "Puritan cuff." Outing Costumed. Although wheeling hasn't nearly so many devotees among the fashionables as it had several years ago, the fail society belle still rides in a desultory fashion and still keeps a correct and up-to-date wheeling costume in good order in her wardrobe. There is not much difference between the bicycle costume as prescribed by fashion now and that worn for golfing, only the golf skirt is a little longer. As wom en are riding in much longer skirts at the present time the majority of them make the one costume do for both. Another thing, the rainy-day or short skirt is so much the vogue, even for clear days, that several find a place among ma belle's gowns. The two new ideas shown in the large cut will serve equally well as bicycle, golf, outing or rainy-day gowns, and are reproduced from Harper's Bazar. The side-pleated shirt-waist of the first one is a most attractive model for any shirt-waist, either of wash goods or silk, for utility or dressier wear. Thefronthia a centre-stitched band and three deep outward-tnrning pleats from shoulder to waist. The back is similar, only with a box-pleat in the centre. The design of the skirt, with its unusual yoke effect, is es pecially suited to heavy galatea pique or very light weight two-toned cloth. This yoke is quite fashionable with New York women, and gives quite a trimmed appearance to an otherwise plain skirt. The salient feature of the brown covert cloth one, trimmed with stitched bauds, shown at the right, is its charmingly unique little jacket. This is belted in at the back, and fashion's autocrat's aver it is sure to be popular, as it is so practicable, besides looking well either in wash goods or heavr material. The hat is also a good one, as it is soft and becoming, yet it shades the eyes, too. It is of the latest style, heavy linen, corded with black velvet and trimmed aroand the crown with bands and rosettes of the telvet. Tunic a la Grecque. For a lace dress worn over a lace slip, you can have a tunic a la Grecque, draped in all one piece, in a fashion copied from the classical drapery noted in the friezes of Helenic architecture or on some antique vase. In case this place is adopted, remem ber to follow the line unbroken from the left shoulder downward and over to the right hip, from which point the drapery can be adjusted as you will so as to secure a symmetrical habit. Keep the lines as long as you possibly can. The Lace Bolero. The lace bolero is still seen ou some of the evening dresses, and this is beautiful in the real fabric over a delicate tint of rose pink, which will become popular as an evening shade. Fitted With L>arts. One feature of French underclothes is that they are never made with yokes. They are fitted with darts, and where fullness is necessary it is gathered in with a ribbon or tape. A Fanhlonable Summer Cape. Among the most unreasoning fads of the day is the low-necked summer cape. An idea of the arrangement may be had from the accompanying small sketch reproduced from the Chicago Times-Herald. The cape is made of peau de soie and trimmed either with liberty silk ruffles or heavy silk fringe. It is contrived especially to reveal the wide guimpe or yoke of the bodice be neath, and is avowedly more orna mental than useful. The same craze has manifested it« self in evening wraps. A full length, scuiewhat box-shaped coat, narrow nt the top and widened decidedly at the bottom, is made low-necked in front in accordance with this new caprice. The material employed is amber col ored brocade, and it is lined with pal* yellow liberty s-atiu. About the shoulders is a wide, round marine collar of Venice lace, sloped down quite low. The sleeves, which hang in bell-shape from the shoulders, are heavily incrusted with Venice lace about the lower part, both on the out side and on the inside. Down the full length of the front the wrap lacks four inches of coming together. Both edges are trimmed with a long folded piece of pale yellow satin, held at reg ular intervals with square pearl buckles.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. Welding tubing by electricity has been tried iu this country as well as in England, and it is ftaid that the experiment will prove to be successful. AH the result of 20 years of experi ments at llotbamsted, England, it is shown that in the winter mouths more than half of the amount of rain that falls penetrates into the soil and be , comes available for the supply of ( springs, while in the summer only ( one-quarter of tho rainfall is absorbed I by the soil. The maximum quantity , of water in the soil is at a depth o 1 about 40 inches. i Lake Tanganyika, iu Africa, offers : a unique field for scientific explora i tiou.

A new solder for aluminium has recently been patented, which tho in ventor claims will melt at a low tem perature, and will adhere readily to the aluminium, forming a surface which will not be attacked by mois ture. The solder is composed of an alloy of tin, zinc, and bismuth, the tin being largely in e.xcess of the other constituents. \Yith zinc chloride as a flux, the solder can be used on brass, copper, nickel, iron, and other metal. The difficulty of fiuding a satisfactory solder for aluminium has preveuted its use in many instances iu place of brass or tin, and also in electrical work whore < lose and perfect joints are desired. There is now in the patent office two watch movement escapements, which, when they appear, it is said, will as tonish the world by their simplicity and capacity. They possess more of the best points of timekeeping than the marine chronometer. The advan tage of the uew escapements is that they gives impulse at the line of the centre without drop or engaging fric tion, and also at the neutral point of the balance sprinsr, a point which the watchmaker will appreciate. Impulse before the lino of centres and neutral point distributes and accelerates the balance as the force of the hairspring is added to the impulse iu the lever I watch. Those who have examined J the uew escapement say it is au ideal one, with the soft, clean and distinctly musical beat. Springers and tin.ers are just beginning to find out the fault of the lever. All the faults of all old systems are said to be fully overcome iu the new escapements, which are the ouly invention of es capemeuts for a century. Myriads of Suns. There is quite evident conspiracy on the part of the telescope and cam era to belittle this infinitesimal speck of cosmic dust on which wo live, and they are succeeding. It was bad enough to knock the earth out of his position as the centre of the universe, but now he is being relegated to a position that, astronomically, seems worthy of very little attention. Pro fessor Wadsworth of the Alloghauy observatory is now showing, on a curved plate, a photograph of the con stellation Orion and adjacent region, covering 1000 square degrees, or a lit tle patch measuriug less than 33 de grees on a side, or about one-eleventh of the great circle —and what do you think? It shows 50,000 blazing suns. The processor says ho has only been able to catch the light from tSe larger of the suns in that patch, and that these planets are yet beyond the joint power oi' the two cyclops, the tele scope and camera. l*Hckiii£ Butter in A new use has leeu found for glass. It consists iu packing butter in a box made of six sheets of ordi nary window glass, the odges being covered with gummed paper. Thi closed box is then enveloped in a lave.' of plaster of paris a fourth of an inch thick, and it is covered with a spe cially prepared pnper. As the plaster is a bad conductor of hear, tho tem perature inside the hermetically sealed receptacle remains constant, being unaffected by external changes. The cost of packing is only about 2 ceuts per pound. It is used to a great ex tent in Australia.
