HIS ANSWER.
“What is my thought like?” Like a stream.
Whose unseen course the eye may trace
Through barren lands, by tender beam
Of leaf and bud, and shining gleam
Of trees that fill the happy space.
What is my thought like?” Like a rose;
Deep chalice where the wild bee sips;
Whose radiant heart doth space enclose
Where waiting love may find repose,
With kiss of perfume on its lips.
“What is my thought like?” Like a bird
That in the glooming soars and sings:
Whose voice, like some soft spoken word
Through gloom of sin and sorrow heard,
Lifts up the soul upon its wings.
“What is my thought like?” Like a face
That symbols all things fair and true;
Whose lines both soul and sense do grace,
Whose eyes do glad the darkest place,
Whose lips bring life—my sweet, like you!
—Mary K. Blake, in Boston Courier.

Why Baal Should be Kept Under Cover.
A German has made experiments to
ascertain the amount of loss that coal
undergoes when exposed to the weather.
It will perhaps surprise many readers to
hear that the loss is considetable. An¬
thracite and cannel coal, as might be
anticipated from but ordinary their compactness,
suffer least; bituminous
coal loses nearly one-third in weight and
nearly one-half in gas-making quality.
From this it will be understood that coal
should be kept dry aud under cover, and
that to expose it to rain or damp is to
lessen its quantity and weaken its
planation quality. Here, of the inferiority too, we have an ex¬
of the great
heaps of small coal which encumber tlie

What His Fadder Did.
A few days ago I left the office a little
earlier than usual and attended a base
ball game. By my side sat an inim¬

the “small boy.” The following is a
part of the fusillade he directed at a
meek companion: “Hey, Jimmy, I bet
