looked up over her glasses, "and think
II my memory serves me right, some
of the ladies present will owe Mrs.
Maynard an apology"
II had no intention whatever, Ia
dies" replied Mrs. Maynard, "to re-
prove any one present by making N.Y.
self known but as it may seem to
some that it was my intention, will
add few words. Most of the young
ladies present will remember the little
Calico Cloak but no one but the
wesrer knows how deeply each un-
kind word pierced the little heart that
beat beneath il. And as 1 again hear
the old academy bell ring, it brings
back fresh to my mind the sorrows OF
childhood. But let no lady mistake
me by supposing Icherish any unkind
feeling towards any one. l know that
whatever the past may have been,
you are now my friends."
"But, ladies, let me add, il you have
children. teach them q lesson from my
experience, and tell them to treat
kindly the poor and despised. A cal
leo cloak may cover q heart as warm
with affection and as sensitive TO sOr-

covering. Whenever you meet child
that shows a disposition to despise the
poor, tell it the story of the Calico
Cloak; = it will carry its own moral
with It."
'aThat is the shortest, but the best
sermon ever heard" said the old Ia
DIV, az she put her handkerchief under
her glasses T; 81 do not believe its mo-
raj effect will be lost upon any of as"
The old lady was right. The story
went from one to another, until it
found its way into the old academy.
At the very time little boy was at.
tending school there, whose mother
was struggling with her needle to give
him an education. The boys often
made sport Of his patched knees and
elbows, and he would run sobbing
home to his mother.
But when the story of the "Calico
Cloak, !" reached the scholars, thelittle
boy, for he was naturally a noble
hearted child, became very popular
in the school, and the children from
that time were very kind to little
"Patcby," as he had always been call
ed.
When Mrs Maynard heard the sto-
ry Of little Patehy, she felt that she
was well repaid for all she had suffer-
ed in childhood.-RInd Words.

1t is predicted by those VINO profess
to be "weatherwise," if not otherwise,
that the extraordinary mildness ol
the present season Will characterize
the whole winter; in other words,
that the winter of 1915 will bear
comparison with some which have
slong gone by." Thus, an English
chronicle relstes that in 1172 the tenn
perature was so high that leaves
came out on the trees in January and
birds hatehed their brood in Februa-
~. In 1889 the winter was equally
mild, and tn maidens Of Cologne
wore wTeathes of viOlets and cOrnfiOW-
ers at Christmas and on Twelfth Day.
In 1921 the trees fiowered in the
month of March, and the vines 10
the month of April; cherries Tipened
in the same month, and grapes appear
ed in May. In 1872 the trees
were covered with leaves in JAN
uary, and the birds hatched their
young in February, as in 1172; in 1856
the same thing was repeated, and it
I is added that the cOru was in the ear
at Easter. There was in France nei-
ther frost nor snow throughout the
winters Of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, aud
1853; finally, 1852, even in the north
Of Germany, the stoves were not light
ed, and trees lowered in February.
Coming to later dates, the winter of
1851, and that Of 1856, the year Of
the great inundatiOn OF the Seine,
may be mentioned as exceptionally
mild.

The Largest Vaulted Roof in The
World.

The largest vsulted roof in the
world is claimed by Vienns-that be-
longs to the great Exposition build
ing. It Is said to cover nine times
the space Of the dome Of st. Psuls, IN
London, eight times the area OF the
dome OF st. Peters, and seven times
that OF st. Sophia at COustantinOple.
This miracle Of architectural skill is
800 feet I'm diameter. 1859 feet roInd,
and stands on q ring Of thirty columns
thirty.six feet apart, all around the
circumference. Within the ring OF
columns there Is no support. The up
per dome 100 feet in diameter, admits
light by 3 series Of windows forty feet
high and ten feet wide, between
thirty columns which carry the up
per dome. The slope Of the cone Is
thirty degrees, and the length Of the
slope on ali sides is 200 feet. The ROOT
is formed Of $50 iron plates, taperiDg
uniformly upward from the circum-
ference to the apex OF the cone. They
are riveted like the plates OF ship !
each row Of plates covers one degree
Of the circle, and each bottom plate
Is one yard wide between the lines oi
riVets- and one meter wide over the
lap.-FFo8s Mr.. Bdrtlett's Paper.

WHY SLANG Is PoPULAR IN AMERICA

A reason why slang is peculiarly
popular in America lies In the fact
that the American people are pre-emi-
nently humorous, a good natured
people, aud thus they may be excused
in a great measure, for their persistent
effort at defiling the Kings English.
They love a humorously-turned SEN
tence, even though il border on the
prOfane at times, and is written under
the stress of great difficulties and at
periods which try mems souls, as wit
ness the following incident, told by
the late Albert d. Richardson

THE STEAMER ALASKA.

I
deem, Hong Kong, (Oct. ~ Correspon-
dence of the San Francisco Alta.
The Alaska arrived on the 1st of
September with a broken shaft, and
was taken to the Aberdeen side of the
islands, doeked and re-coppered; after
leaving the dock, she was hauled tG
the stream and moOred where She
remained while preparations were be-
ing made to receive the new shaft.
This being completed, on the after
noon of Sept. %, Capt. Van Sice Sc
curely moored her to the dock, as we
ali thought, every line in the ship in
use-all new hawsers, from six to
eleven inches. At Z P. NJ. the anchor
was dropped. About the same time
THE WIND BEGAN BLOWING
fresh, the sky was overcast with black
and threatening clouds. The barom-
eter was falling rapidly. By 10 P. NJ.
it was evident that q typhoon OF more
than average intensity was approach
ing. At ii o'clock one Of the new g.
inch hawsers parted, and was made
fast again. At l2:15 A. NJ. the typhoOn
burst upon US with terrible fury the
lines parted one after another like so
many strands of thread. After they
broke we paid out IS and So fathoms OF
chain. She Immediately began to drag
her anchor, and in a few minutes
struck her stem on the opposite shore.
The anchors kept her from going
broadside on the rocks. The junks
came down on her port quarter, strik-
ing her very hard, most OF them sink
ing. The barometer still falling: at
2:30 A. NJ. was down to $3.50, and the
typhooI was at its greatest height. /
was standing near the rudder-pOst try
ing to protect myself from the storm,
when my attention was attracted to a
large junk drifting down upon US,
stem first, in a blaze. She went un-
der the Alaska, and for few minutes
remained entangled in the rudder-
chains. 1 thought Of the terrible dis
aster that l passed through two years
before on the Inflated America, and /
did not know but we would have a
repetition. went forward and gave
the alarm. Capt. Van Sice ordered
the hose stretched and everything in
order to extinguish the fire, but fortu-
nstely for US we were not obliged TO
use the fire apparatus. A sea struck
