WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1895. REALIZATION OF ? DREAM. I thought she loved, but blushed to think A maiden's heart should feel A hope, a trust, a jo j which yet She could not but conceal. I thought she loved ; the anxious eve, Up raised in doubt to mine, Spoke in a language which the heart Can easily divine I I thought she loved ; it was not once Our eager glances met; But times too many to recount, Too happy to forget ! Oh ! blissful thought ! ob, day like dream It seemed the dawning bright Of hope beyond anxiety, Of a day without a night ! And moments passed, and happy hours In silence glided by ; And I felt the magic of her voice, Aad the beauty of ber eye ; But ob ! when sorrow on me fell, And tears from hope were wrung. I felt the living tenderness That trembled on ber tongue ! I felt she loved ! few words were spoken In that eventful hour, For faith and truth live in the eye3, And silence bath its power ! And then no more a maiden'3 blush My own fond heart reproved, For I could only think of joy Wheo I only felt she loved ! ITEMS. Two thousand patents have been taken out in this couotry on the manu? facture of paper alone. James I. of England was a lover of the classics and very familiar with most of ihe Latin writers. Belgium took its name from the Belgae, a warlike tribe, which inhab? ited it before the time of Christ. Lablacbe, the stout basso, was a s dent of botany, aud had quite a collec? tion of botanical works. The largest canal lock in the wprld is in the Manchester ship canal. It stands forty-five feet bigb. Carlyle had a very large library, re? lating principally to German and French literature and history. The Egyptian Sondan has nearly ? 1,000,000 square miles. It is almost as large as all Europe, exclnding Rus? sia. With a population of hardly two and a-half millions, Greece has a debt of $164,000,000, or about ?75 per capita. When tbe Gulf Stream passes out of the Gulf of Mexico its temperature is about seventy degrees. Dr. Klein, F. R. S., lecturer on general anatomy and physiology at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, de? livered a lecture on cholera recently, in wbicb be said that tbe prevention of cholera was beset with less difficulty than that of some of the communica? ble diseases which in town they had almost constantly among them. It is a well-known fact that the milkmaids in Switzerland who can sing get better pay than those who cannot sing The reason is that a tuneful maid who sings at ber work coaxes one-fourth more milk from a cow than a soogless milker can extract. A Par?s doctor who bas been study? ing the effect of liquors on the voice states that none of the great singers have ever been teetotalers. Wine in moderation, be belives, is useful for the voice ; bat beer thickens it and makes it guttural, Malibran used to drink Madeira. The starfish kills the oyster by enveloping it closely in its arms, then placing bis mouth to the crevice of the shell, be injects a very acrid and venomous joice within. The poor oyster, disgusted by the poison, opens bis shell to admit water and so rid him? self of it, and thus falls a prey to the destroyer. Recently Prof. Carl Meyers has com? pleted at the ballooo farm at Frankfort N. Y., the first of a series of balloon outfits to be supplied to some sixty ves? sels belonging to New York parties for life-saving purposes io case of ship? wreck, says the Utica Observer. Each j outfit consists of sn automatic appa- I ratas generating hydrogen gas ander pressure, so controlled by a stop-cock j that the ciosiog of this immediately stops the generation or flow of gas and ! retains it still under pressure. This is j used to rapidly inflate a balloon of i sufficient size to carry a life line ashore | from a wrecked vessel by means of1 which a heavier cable may be drawn for communication or passage of crew or goods, as now practiced by the govern? ment life-saving crews where stations exist for throwing a line by the use of a mortar. The defects of the mortar system are that the stations are infre? quent on tbe coast, the difficulty great io throwing a line against the wind at so small a mark as a ship and the dis? tance which frequently makes such ef? forts futile. The balloon system has tbe advantage of requiring no special apparatus on shore, while the balloon simply is drifted toward a line of coast by the same wfod which blows the ship ashore, and drops its lice wbeo the shore is reached. PPBCCTMBOBCC Awakening from a sound night's sleep recently, Miss Cora Hull of Stubenville, 0 , dislocated her jaw bone. lier mouth was stretched wide open and try as hard as she could she could not close it The woman suffered excruciating pain and almost went into spasms. Two physicians were summoned and to? gether they went to work to replace j the jawbone in its proper place. To j do this they had to pry tho bone j down at a point behind tue ears, and ! it was fully two hours before the | operations could be performed, and the bone pushed to its proper place, j After working for some time the bone was finally replaced and the young lady was enabled to close her mouth. After the operatiorfhad been successful the face began to swell rapidly and lockjaw was feared, but the swelling subsided and the patient is recovering. A serious part of the accident is that Miss Hull will have to be very careful how she laughs or yawns in the future, as the tendons j now being weak the accident is lia? ble to occur at any time. A street epithet, still too much the slang of the curb to have been cast in our teeth yet by our British cou? sins, is the word, "Dago For years this mysterious term has been j the instrument of torture by which the malicious gamin has tormented those Italo-Americans who peddle busts, grind handorgaus or balance huge cargoes of lumber upon their heads. The word is, however, a mis? nomer and belongs to the Portuguese and not to the Italian. It is a corrup? tion of the Portuguese Diego, or James, the patron saint of Portugal. Its 'descent into slang forms a com? panion chapter to the history of the Welsh Taffy, or David The Kansas City Star recalls the almost perished fact that in 1820 the skipper of a Medi? terranean cargo-vessel entered in the New York customs entry, after his own name and the names of in's mates and American silors, the expression "and three Dagos " Ile explained I that he meant three Portuguese. In f those days Italian and Spanish sail? ors were seldom found out of the Mediterranean. Nevertheless the term will undoubtedly stick to the olive-skinned sons of Sunny Italy, and despite its absolutely harmless meaning arouse their ire simply ow? ing. io its malicious intonation. Say!
