FROM “THE ANCIENT MARINER.’* BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE. through fog-smoke At length did cross an albatross— Through the fog it came; As if it had been a Christian soul. We hailed it in Good’s name. It ate the food it ne’er had eat. And round and round it flew The ice did split with a thunder-fit; The helmsman steered us through! And a good south wind sprang up b.hind; The albatross did follow. And every day, for food or play. Came to the mariner’s ho. Ilo! In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud. It perched for vespers nine; Whiles all the night, white, / Glimmered the White moon-shine. The sun notwfose upon the ri^ht— Out of the sea came he. Still hid in mist, and on the left 1 Went down into the sea. And the good south wind still blew behind; But no sweet bird did follow. Nor any day for food or plav Came to the mariner's hollo. And I had done a hellish thing. And it would work ’em woe; For all averred I had killed the bird That made the breeze to blow! Ah. wretch! said they, the bird to slay. That made the breeze to blow! Nor dim nor red, like God’s own head. The glorious sun uprist; Then all averred I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist; ’Twas right, said they, such birds to slay. That bring the fog and mist. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew. The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea. * Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down— ’Twas sad as sad could be; And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea. All in a hot and copper sky The bloody sun, at noon. Rijrht up above the mast did stand. No bigger than the moon. Day after day, day after day. We stuck—nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water everywhere. And all thc_boards did shrink; Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. • The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yea. slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea! About, about, in reel and rout. The death-fires danced at night! The water, like a witch's oils. Burnt green, and blue, and white. Last Run of the Green Pea Desperado. Y friend Buggies had gone so far as to put a uaiue to his automobile, not the name of the maker, en graved on its various inwards, nor yet the name of Buggies himself, dangling on a patent leather tag just above the steam. So you can see that he was pretty far gone, as automobilists go. I think he called it the Pea Green Des perado. The reason I happened to mention Buggies and his machine at all was that he came round the other day and asked me to take a spin in It with him. It seemed to me as though the account of what followed might be Interesting. I can't hope, of course, to stir any one up by a plain black and white story of the “spin” as I was stirred up, but if I can impart to this tale a hundredth part of what I felt I shall be well repaid. Understand, in the first oplace, that I’m not an automobile njau and not used to the machines any way, and that my heart Is weak and I have a prejudice—foolish perhaps—against get ting arrested. But Buggies came around and asked me to come along with him, and, as you may have found yourself, there’s a good deal in the idea of clattering about the drives in one of the things, whether you owu it or not, with every one marking you down for having inoney. If you’re careful not to make o much like a professional chauf- know, they’re bound to think something—an automobile ;osed to be a sign of t prettw hi of the shutter on the automobile’s prow after trips. Bits of little things he’d hit, you know. He admitted that he was a sentimental cuss, did Bug gies. We went up the West Drive like an express making up time and with about as much noise. Around the corner I saw the Van Doutzers coming in a victoria. They arc one of the families that I really like to bow to, and so, abolishing as n\ueh of my fear for my life as I could, I got ready to take off my hat, hoping, I must con fess, that they’d take me for the owner of the Desperado, instead of Buggies. To carry out the idea I just rested my hand on the wheel thing that you steer by. I bowed, but I discovered, to ity horror; that I was bowing to a park policeman—the Van Doutzers must have been whisked by about three blocks back by the time I got my hat off. Ail at once there was a frightful rush of profanity from Buggies, aud I noticed that we were richotting on a wonderful angle up an incline covered with tulip beds. I peered wildly be hind me—the road was just disappear ing in the distance between trees and the tracks of the automobile among the flowers looked like the first dig gings for a canal. Suddenly we dived into a shady grove on the summit. There was a tremendous, shivering jar, and I shot head first into a prickly sort of bush. The Pea Green Desper ado was trembling and gurgling, head on, against a tree trunk. As for Bug gies, he had traveled some feet further The first thing be said when be an rived was: ’ “Where’s the Green Desperado?” Hi said It quite fearlessly, too, althougl' I couldn’t so much as hear that nam/ without shuddering. I told him, though. “In the lake!” he ejaculated, bound ing out of his chair. “And a good thing, too,” I said, sol emnly. “I looked forward to seeinj you dead to-night. Buggies—dead- flattened! That devilish mnehim made ray whole past come up In mj mind, and, by gorry, it was up to tin Desperado to finish.” “But my inoney!” cried Buggies pa thetlcally. I always thought he war a paper sport. I should have imagincc he had a pretty good run for his monej that afternoon. I said nothing, however. Inwardly, I confess, I was a little pleased. Buggies had lost his automobile, and I couldn’t see how he was any better than I was now.—New York Eveninj Sun. BEES KILLED A CHICKEN. Insects Object to Black nml to Blncli Gnnaccocks In Particular. Bees are opposed to black as a color. Whether this is because they dislike a symbol of mourning, think black typifies a cloud or consider it the emblem of death is not known, bul the fact remains that bees do not hesitate to display their hatred foi things black upon the slightest pro vocation. I. L. Richards, proprietor of the Achme Apiaries, at Littleton, can testify to this with regret. Richards is a chicken fancier as well as a bee expert. He has some of the finest chickens in Colorado, and not long ago made up his mind to have more. He bought some imported chickens from Hong Kong and paid a fancy price for them. One great beruffled cock cost him ?8o, and was as black as a piece of coal, save for one red mark on its back. Richards proudly took the big foreigner from Its box and showed It to his friends with exultation. Then he set it free in the chicken yard. The beehives occupy a corner of this yard, and have never caused any trouble. But with the advent of the black rooster the living emblems of industry rebelled. Richards went back to see his new pet half an hour later, and was amazed to see the yard in a terrible com motion. The great chicken, which had stalked so proudly about his new home a few moments before, to the wonder of the old chickens, was now in pitiful distress. It rushed frantic ally about the inclosure, squawking strangely and flapping its wings in desperation. Around it swarmed 1000 bees. Viciously they darted at the unfortunate fowl. They struck it half a hundred at a time. Richards was about to rush to the rescue of his favorite, when he realiz ed the folly of such an undertaking. Ho stood helplessly by while the angry little honey makers stung the black China cock to death. The bewildered stranger from across the seas dashed vainly about for a few minutes, to the alarm of the other chickens. It struck out with its wings and feet. Turn as it would, it could not escape the infuriated bees. At last it fell, and the relentless winged torturers settled upon it, until its body was nearly covered. Richards waited until the hoes went back to their hives. Then he carefully wrapped the dead cock in a sack and carried it away for burial. Since then he has never tried 1118 yaid.— i:H Why Syrup of Figs ike-btst family laxative It is pure. It is gentle. It is pleasant. It is efficacious. It is not expensive. It is good for children.

The manufacture of an incandescent electric lamp is of special interest be cause many of the operations have heretofore been regarded as trade sec rets and carefully kept from the pub lic. The delicate filaments which pro duce the light are formed by squirting a paste made from cellulose (wood pulp) through dies, from which it emerges in the form of fine threads, which when dry are tough and flexi ble. These threads before they are dry are formed into the desired shape. They are then packed in carbon dust and subjected to intense heat for many hours. The cellulose is com pletely charred, and the filament now practically consists of charcoal. It Is then suspended in an atmosphere of hydrocarbon vapor, in a vessel in which a partial vacuum has been made and a current of electricity sufficient to bring it to incandescence is sent through it. This decomposes the hy drocarbon, and a carbon soot—«ome- what resembling graphite is deposited Dn the filament. This is technically known as “flashing.” After this treatment the filament ha,s a metallic lustre resembling polislMd steel.
