PENNARBY MINE.
Pcniiarby shaft Is d-irk and deep
Kight foot broad eight hundred dpop.
It'-ugh the bucket and tough the cord
Slotigas the arm of Winchman Ford.
Never look down.
Stick to the line
That was the saying at Pennarby mine.
A stranger came to Pennarby shaft:
Lord: to see how the miners laughed!
White In the collar and stiff in the hat.
With his shiuinjf UoU and his silk cruvtit.
Pit-king his way.
Dainty and fini-.
Stepping on tiptoe to Peaaarly mine.
Touring from London so he said:
Was it copper they dug for. or tin. or lead!
Where did thev find it? Jlox did it come?
If he tried with a shovel might he get s-.iae?
Stooping so much
Was had for th sp-n.--And
wasn't it w;.rmisti in Pennarby mine?
'Tw-ts like two v.orMs that met that day
Tho world of work and the worid of play:
And the grimy Luis from th-- reeking shaft
Nudged each other an 1 grianed ami chaff -.'d:
"i:t 'cm all out:"
"A ecu-sir-: of mine!"
So ran the hauler at Pennarby mine.
And Camhrae Hob. the Pennarby wit
Told h in the f icis a!to"Jt the pit.
How they bored th" shaft till the briuutoae
.smell
Warned them from tapping; well
Us wouldn't say what.
Hut they too1: it for a ir;n
To dig no deeper in IN unarby in ac ' '
Then leaning over and .peering in.
lie was pointing out what he s.iid was lla.

A grasping hand and a spIi-itf-reJ lur; .

and a boy called William. On hoard

a eoup'o of miles oil. curvintr into a
front of jrlarin chalk with a small
well-know n town sparkling- m the dis-

by tin moving bodies of main' ships in
full sail and the sk low down was
huntr with the smoke of vanished steam-
ers as though the stun" was cobwebs
black with dust
The stream was tho turn of the Hood.
Old Hunk went forward into tho 1hws.
and the brig Happed forwards creaking
like a basket on the small roll of the
shallow- water. We overhung1 her rails
and watched for ourselves. John Hunk
trying1 to look dignified with the drink
lin him stared stately ahead; sometimes
singing out to the helmsman to port
and then to starboard and so we
washed on fairly hitting- the river's
mouth and stemming-safely for a mile
till the Hat coast was within an easy
sculi of our jolly boat and 3-011 saw tho
spire of a church and a few red roofs

sit that time two miles distant
.7 ust then the Venus took to the mud;
she grounded just as a huge fat sow
knuckles quictjy ere stretchinp herself.
"All aback forrad!" sings out Uill
Martin with a loud silly laugh.
We were a brig- of a hundred and
cig-hty tons and there was nothing- to
be done with poling; nor was kedping
g-oing- to help us at this the first quarter
vf ebb.
"Tom" says John Buulr. cominr aft I

and npeaking- cheerfully "there's no
call to make any worrit over this shining-
job. The tug's bound to be coming-along-
afore sundown anyhow. Hec
that village there?" says he pointing.
"My brother lives In that village at a
public house of his own called the
'Eight Hells" and seeing as we're hard
and fast I shall take the boys on a visit
to him and leave 3ou and William to
look arier the brig."'
"Suppose the tug should come along?"
said 1. -
"She could do nothing with us till the
flood Moats us" said he. "I shall l't go
the anchor for securit' and go ashore."
He talked like xi reckless old fool but
was tipsy and in no temper to reason
with. The situation of the brig was
safe enough as far as ocean and weath-
er went: nothing could hurt her as she
lay mud-cradled on her fat bilge. Wo
olewed up and let the canvas hang 13
its rigging and then dropped the an-
chor after which old Hunk and the
others cleaned themselves up and got
the boat over and wont away in her
singing songs leaving me and Williams
to look after the brig.
It was ten o'clock in the morning a
very lino hoi day. I wont into the

the splendid horr hie beast in the bows

lifeless. He was upon his face with
his arms out. as thotigh his hands were
nailed to the deck. 1 looked for blood
but saw none.
Tho most awful time that ever passed

roamed the deek silently smelling at

I made sure the beast was about to eat
the lad. Sometimes I broke out into
the noisiest roarings and screaming 1113
pipes could set up in the hope of driv-

Hetween five and six o'clock in the
evening the tide had made so as to cov-
er the mud and I saw the brig's boat
approaching. Those who pulled nour-
ished their oars drunkeuU. The boat
came to a stand when within easy hail-
ine distance as though old Hunk was
taking a view of me as I sat in the top
and was wondering what 1 did there.
I roared out: "For Hod's sake mind
how 3'ou come aboard! There's been n
blooming tiger in this brig since noon!"
"A what?" yelled Hunk and the ftea-
men rntllcd a little closer in.
It was still broad darning daylight
and the sun hung like a huge blood-red
target over the crimson sea.
"A what?" shrieked Hunk.
"A tiger! A blooming tiger!" I bel-
lowed pointing to the brute thai lay
crouched on the forecastle hidden from
tho boat's crew.
"Drunk again Tom? or is it sun-
stroke this time?" sung out old Hunk
standing up in tin boat and lurching
'.o the rooking of her.
"It's killed William!" I veiled
When I said this the biast attracteo

up and looked over the bulwark rail at

however put him into such a happy

raised itself into a sitting posture and
exclaimed in a hollow voice:

The cr'tie'sni of the ilson bill does
not all eome from the s'.Ie of t!ie pro-
tectionists -some of the representa-
tives in - o igress wi allegiance not so
much to the wealtlry m.inufaeturi-1's of
their districts as to their wage-earning
coiisiituents. A Tew tilso besides be-
ing real ile'iioorats. ar- stuilouts of
eoouomieipiostionsaml will md stultify
th-ir intellects and t'l.-'.r eoiiseieiiees
by pretending as t.n many so-calbd
dopioerats do -that protection can ever
help wage-earners. II most intelli-
gent democrats will declare that pro-
tection always inj'iivs and never bene-
fits labor.
Among thus- who have severely criti-
.iscd the ways ar.d means committee
for compromising wi'h the protected
interests ami monopolies are Ton: I.
lohtisou. of Ohio and .lohti ItvWitt
Warner of New York. Tho reception
accorded to the speeches of both these
gentlemen shows that the spirit of true
lcmoi:rac3 in the ho.ise of rejuv.senta-
t.vos is arising from its l..ng slumbers.
Following is a part of Mr. Warn-r's
-.r'tieisui of the prop ise.l duties on
wooleiis:
"I.i the first place sir. it is proposed
to give New England the relief that

For generations it has been the cus-
tom to.mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or. emptyings retain-
ing a portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
Ifkept too warm or not ti-ed prompt-
ly this batter becomes excessively sour
and objectionable. Huckw-heat cake.-
raised by this mean's are more often
sour or heavy than light ami sweet. If
eaten daily they distress the stomach
and cause skin eruptions and itching.
Instead of tho old-fashioned way wo
have been making buckwheat caken
this'winterwith Koyat linking Powder
.mixing the batter fresh daily and find
theresult wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet
more palatable and wholesome and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive inconvenience. l-
sides they are mixed and baked in a
moment re-juiring no time to rise-
Foil uving is the receipt used:
Two cups of pure buckwheat Horn'
(not "prepared" or mixed): one cup o
wheat iloar. two tablespoons of Ktvral
Puking Powder and one-haif teaspooa-
fr.l of salt all sifted well togothsr.
Mix with r.iiik into a thin batter ami
bake at once on a hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt no
ether buckwheat will find its war. to
