Couldst thou not wait through waning sign of summer! Not yet quite fling— Thou thoughtless eager footed comer— Along the road and o’er each green hillside Thy golden banners wide? Dost thou dc* know how long we watched the pine tips Before they opened all their golden store! How long before the gray old marble branches Burned red to tell that spring had come once more? Before the alder tassels drooped and quivered Above the rare green In the meadow mere? Before the earth stirred softly with the stirring Of germ and rootlet, and v. e could not hear? Ah no! thou knovest not! No sign of sorrow Is in thy face. No vigils dost thou keep; For thee there is no rest and no to-morrow. What is not joy to thee is dreamless sleep. Thou glecpest warm tlirough all the lingering winter; There starts no memory where thou art laid; Blind to the future, too, thou knowest never How short the time before thou, too, must fade. Thou art Rome wild beacon, broadly flaring, Startling from rocky height, the peaceful town, That cries in flame along the far horizon, “Behold, the enemy comes sweeping down! Arise, for rest is past! Beat out the plowshare! Forge gleaming blade and spear! Gird sword on thigh!” From hill to hill thy signal fires leap blazing; Far to the north they light up all the sky. i > Unconscious herald! Thine to bear the tidings, The certain winter it is sure to know. The waiting is so weary long, and summer— We scarcely know her ere she turns to go. 'Ob, golden rod! Couldst thou no longer tarry? Droop the red clover, fades the elder’s snow; The ilreweed dies as dies the waving daisy, While far and wide thy yellow banners blow. How Salmon Is Canned. In preparing salmon for can/iing U*s fish are dressed of fins, head and entrails at the rate of 1,500 to 2,000 a day by each man. They go through three wash ings and cleanings, and are cut by a ma chine into lengths just the height of a can. These pieces are each sliced length wise into several pieces. The men who do the filling, press the pieces as com pactly into the cans as possible; a Chi nese will fill 1.000 cans in a day. The filled cans are then taken to the washing machine, where they are rapidly re volved under a spray of warm water and are rubbed with a sponge at the same time, after which they are wiped dry with pieces of netting. In the crimper the edge of the cover is crimped and the cans then roll across a brick soldering furnace, the ends passing through a trough of melted solder. This machine and furnace will dispose of 20.000 cans a day and over. The com pleteness of the operation is tested by ex amination and immersion in hot water, and, if no further soldering Ls necessary, the cans are immersed again for an hour and twenty minutes in a caldron of boil ing water, after which they are again tested by lx-ing tapped on the top by a small wooden mallet, imperfections being indicated by the sound. The good ones are punctured to let the hot air escape and are immediately sealed up again. The cans are now rolled on a track into an iron retort and cooked by steam lor an hour and fifteen minutes. They are next plunged into a vat of hot lye, to remove every particle of grease, and are im mersed in a Link of cold water until they are perfectly cool. The final testing is made by two men who both tap each can with a large steel nail, their trained ears detecting any wrong sound. Food canned with all this care is in no way unfit for eating.—Good Housekeeping. “The Waterbury.” R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNAN, GEORGIA. Oh, golden rod! Thou didst not know how long the winter lasted, How wearily we waited for the spring!

In the recently published memoirs of Count VitZthum, of Eckstadt, proofs are given of the hereditary character of the mental disease which aiilicted the imperial family of Russia. All the sons of Czar Patti 1, like that unhappy monarch him self, who was murdered in 1801, became subject to fits of insanity. Paul I had four sons—Czar Alexander I, the Grand Duke Constantine, Czar Nicholas I and the Grand Duke Michael. Every one of them after his 45th year exhibited undoubted signs of mental derangement. This was not fully discovered in the case of Nich olas I until after the czar’s death. An English physician, however, the count says, noticed the appearance of the hereditary disease in the czar as early as July, 1853, and he then predicted that the mofiarch had not more than two years of life before him. This he stated in a letter to Lord Palmerston. The Emperor Nicholas died in March, 1855, about four months earlier than the date predicted. The count appears to have no doubt that the Crimean war, so far as it depended on Nicholas, was the rash act of a ruler “whose mental equipoise was disturbed.” None of the four sons of Paul I lived to be GO years of age, and every one of them suffered from congestion of the brain after reaching his 45th year. Alexander died at 48, a miserable man, moody and despondent, as Prince Metternich has painted him, “tired of existence.” His brother, the Grand Duke Constan tine, though not manifestly insane, gave frequent signs of mental disturbance, of which he was himself so plainly con scious that lie did not think himself fit to be trusted with the reins of government. His conduct in the year 1S30, at the out break of the revolution in Warsaw, will remain to prove his mental unsoundness. He had to be intrusted to the care of his wife, the Princess Lowicz, who was cau tioned in the same way as is a physician in charge of a patient having intermit tent fits of insanity. He died in liis 52d year from congestion of the brain. The Grand Duke Michael was killed by a fall from his horse at the age of 48. Some years before his death he had exhibited signs of undoubted mental disease, and his physicians declared that he was on the road to certain insanity. The events of 1848-52 were not calcu lated to allay the hereditary dispositions of the imperial family of Russia, but to excite and intensify them. There is some thing terrible in the contrast between the outward position of the Czar Nicholas, upon the bent of whose will the fate of so many millions in Europe was depend ing, and the alleged diseased inward con dition of liis mind.—London Society. Dinner in a Chinese Yaamen. A turn in the little ornamental garden of the yaamen, all grottoes and summer house and minute landscape effects, pre pared us to return to the women’s quar ter, and then followed the dinner, supreme effort of the yaamen’s chef. It Ix-gan and ended with tea, and the little plates of bois d’oeuvres, watermelon seeds, pickled almonds and mysteries remained by us to the close. A preliminary bowl of sharkfm soup, with egg curd fish, tested my courage, and then was dis played her skill, acquired by serious practice with chop sticks, as shreds of friend duck were set before me. There followed a pigeon egg stew, from the depths of which my chop sticks brought up pieces of the thin mountain mush rooms, that are really delicacies. Then we had bacon fritters, as far as a hasty analysis could determine, another kind of ragout with mushrooms, fried chicken, an almond cream custard with steamed sponge cake, a stew of Japan shell fish, fresh fish, the famous bird's nest stew, sweet olives, rice, another kind of soup, a fisli combination, a deadly pastry, then innumerable sweets and fruits, and the final cup of tea. The warm champagne was served with all the courses, and the visiting Chinese lady having set us the example we joined Good Spectacles and Eye glasses for 25c. at Avery’s. - WEDDING RINGS, Gift Rings, Engagement Rings, Birthday Rings, Plain and Stone Rings; Gold, Silver, filled and plated Rings.

Towels wrung out of hot water were passed us at intervals of the feast in the place of finger bowls.—“Ruhamali’s” Letter. The Wardrobes of Kings. The wardrobe of the late king of Ba varia has been sold at Munich, and the proceeds are to be applied toward the pay ment of liis debts. The St. James Ga zette alludes to this transaction as a fol lowing of the precedent set in England, when George IV died, but this is an en tire mistake, for his wardrobe became the perquisite of his pages, and it was sold by them for their own exclusive benefit. This was a monstrous job, as the wardrobe fetched ^an immense sum, and the public, who originally paid for it, ought to have obtained the proceeds. George IV left every coat he had bought for fifty years, 800 canes and whips, every description of uniform, the state costumes of all his orders and magnifi cent furs and pelisses, some of which had been sent to him by the emperors of Rus sia and Austria.—London Truth. Bones of a Mastodon. The bones of another mastodon have just been unearthed in Nebraska. Only fifteen years ago scientific men were sug gesting that the famous elephant mound of Wisconsin was good evidence that the mastodon and the mound builders were contemporaries. It was discovered later that the animal’s trunk was merely a sand hill piled up by the wind, and the mound no longer figures in books as hav ing anvthing to do with elephants. It has been left to American archaeology, however, to prove that man is at least as old as the mastodon, for in this country alone have the remains of mastodons been found that are incontestably more recent than those of man. One masto don unearthed in Missouri was undoubt edly killed by primitive hunters, and some of the weapons used were found among the bones of the victim.—New York Sun. in all kinds of Jewelry, and in vite everyybody to examine them.

I have paid some attention to the speed of expert stenographers, and think that for a short time a man may keep up with a speaker at the rate of 250 words a min ute. To do this, however, he must drop his articles, prepositions and conjunctions, which I have found by actual count will average fifty-two words in 200. The physical strain will not allow the speed to be kept up. for the pressure on the nerves situated at the eud of the thumb, which is brought into play freely by shading characters, will leave it benumbed and prevent you from doing legible work mi til the feeling is fully restored.—Globe-Dem ocrat. • Kitty Sternly Rebuked.

Flies observed in the wards of con sumptive hospitals around the sputa of the patients have been caught and placed in a bell jar. On the following day several were dead. Examination of the inside of the ;,ar showed the presence of many tubercle bacilli, which is believed to be the cause of consumption. The observers point out the wide dissemination of the disease which may take place in this way and recommend as a preventive the em ployment of spittoon covers with a small opening. A much more effective safeguard would be the prompt disinfection or de struction of the sputa.—Chicago News.
