Old Things.

Do you know, anyhow, don't feel
much reverence for old things that are
simply oldP Isuppose it is heathenish
and awtully boorish, but can't help it.
A man shows me teapot or a tooth
brush and tells me his grandmother used
them fifty-siX years and that was one
hundred and sixty-two years ago. l
can't uncover my head, and go down be-
fore the venerable relic on my bended
knees, in q spirit of veneration. l feel
more like telling him it was time theold
girl got new ones. Family relics, like
family babies have no sort of interest for
any outside of the family. Here, the
other day a man bought an old spinning
wheel. lone hundred and twelve years
DID," he told me, proudly, and he was
going to take it home, and set it up in his
library and never part with it. And for
the life of me, l couldn't see why. 1t
had no interest in the world for him
beyond its age. He might have gone
out into the street and picked up q
boulder two thousand years old with
lust as much local and historical inter-
est for him as the spinning wheel. But
that the former owner OF the spinning
wheel should sell it for money, that did
surprise me. 1t had q world of memo
ries for him. He could touch the
treadle and the whirriug wheel
would Groom out the same old mono
tone that had droned its drowsy accom-
paniment to the cradle songs that had
hushed him to sleep in his baby days
! il would sing to him in his manhood
and in the long evenings OF his old age,
| of a white-haired grandma" and a
mother with patient face and beautiful
eyes: it would sing OF thousand old
! time memories and forgotten faces; it
would repeat snatches Of old songs, and
old forgotten tender words for him; ii
would sing how the tender mothers face
grew patient aud sad and careworn as
| the years went on. and the beautiful
eyes were faded with tears and dimmed
with watching and the loving hand
tainted with WEAKNESS until at 'ast one
day the whirring wheel stood still, and
its silence spread a great heavy quiet
all over the old home, only broken now
and then by low, soft breathing whis-
pers and the sobbing of motherless
children in the little rooms; by and by
the uemulous voice of the white haired
pastor, and then homely voices singing
some grand old hymns of the deathes'
faith that mother died in, the suflling
feet of the bearers, and then nothing il
the darkened room but Il creeping ray
of sunshine falling in through the blind
and quiet SO deep that the hum of th
bees in the old-iashioned vines trailing
about the window had strangel
plaintive sound. How the man who's
grandmother and mother sat at tina
busy wheel, could sell it, cannot un
derstand. But what it could be to tn
man who bought it, is fully as great
mystery. 1T will sing none of thos
2 songs to him. 1t would be ike m 4

The United States and Europe.

We number now nearly or quite 5O,-
600, 900 people. A hundred million could
be sustained without increasing the area
of a single farm or adding one to their
number by merely bringing our product
up to the average nAandard of reasonably
good agriculture; and then there might
remain for export twice the quantity we
now send abroad to feed the hungry in
foreign lands. No longer divided by the
curse of slavery, this nation is now
united by bonds of mutual interest, OF
common speech, tied by the iron band OF
$1,000 miles of railway, and is yet only
beginning to feel the vital power and
grandeur of truly national existence.
What may be the future of this land few
can yet conceive. Texas alone COM
prises as much territory as the German
empire, England and Wales combined.
Texas has now about 100000 people
within her boundaries; the German
empire, England and Wales about 81
100000. The good land in Texas is
equal in area to the good land in Ger
many and Great Britain. Kansas,
Nebraska and iowa combined more than
equal France in area and possess more
fertile land. Only twenty five years ago
John Brown and his companions re-
deemed Kansas from slavery. Ne
braska was then indicated on our
own maps as part OF the
great American desert" and Iowa had
scarcely become State. Their popu-
lation may now be 100000. France
has 100000. The great middle section
of Eastern Tennessee. Northern
Georgia, Western Carolina and South
ern Virginia has been hemmed In by the
curse of slavery, and is yet almost q
terra incognita, but it is replete with
wealth in minerals, in timber and In
fertile valleys of almest unequal climate
for health and vigor. This section is
almost equal to the Austrian empire in
its area, and more than equal in re-
sources. 1t has sparse population. OF
only one or two millions. The Austrian
empire has over 81, 100000. The healthy
upland country of Georgia, Alabama
and the Carolinas contains vast area OF
| fertile woodland, which can be bought
by the hundred thousand acres at half a
dollar or twenty-five cents an acre, on
which sheep and cotton thrive equally
well. These sections are being slowly
occupied by white farmers, and wait for
| immigrants who can bring them to use.
In few short years, sheep, ted mainly
upon the kernel of the cotton-seed, and
upon the grasses that follow the cotton
| will send to market from the same fields,
alternately occupied, as much wool as
cotton. This warm section is more than
equal TO Italy in area; it has perhaps
1000, 900 people. Italy contains 81 600,
600. The fertile lands of the Shenan
doal valley in Virginia, and along the
Potomac in Maryland, more than equa
Belgium. They may contain half mil.
lion people. Belgium has more than
five million. In the consideration o.
this problem of productive capacity
there are other factors of the creates

Robin Red.Breast.

The English robin, after whom our
robin is named, has some very pleasant
traits of character. For one thing, he is
tender-hearted, and is often known to
feed and comfort suffering birds,
whether they are of his own kind or
not. Stories are told of hOmesick birds
shut up in cages being visited by robins
and cheered up by social chattering, and
also of their being supplied by the same
generous little creatures with worms
and other nice morsels of food. Young
birds which fall out of the nest before
they can fly seem TO be the special care
of the robins. They will feed and care
for them, AZ at last teach them to fly,
and fly away with the grateful young
sters The bird we call robin, though
he is quite as interesting as the English
rabin, and has his own pleasant, lively
ways, has really no right to the name,
being in fact n thrush. Whatever we
call him, he is a bright, intelligent fell
low, and nothing can be funnier than 10
see him jerk a worm out OF the ground
for his breakfast. t.-Ns50 Jerusalem Mes

Words of Wisdom

Prefer loss before unjust gain, for
that brings grief but once, and this for
ever.
The modern majesty consists in work.
What a man can do is his greatest orna-
ment, and he always cOnsults his dignity
by doing it.
Title and ancestry render a good man
more illustrious, but an i'll one more
contemplate. Vice is infamous, though
in a prince; and virtue honorable,
though in peasant.
Where Il man makes his money there
he should make his home, and, as rule,
| it will mainly be his fault and that OF
his family if he cannot spend his life
there with profit and satisfaction,
Without earnestness no man is ever
great or does really great things. He
may be the cleverest man; he may be
| bril- liant, entertaining, popular, but he
will want weight. No soul-movinG
picture was ever painted that had not IL
its depths a shadow.

A Famous HOrse.MOman.

A Yorkshire (England) authority says
that perhaps the most exciting and
enthusiastic scene ever witnessed on Il
race course was at Knavesmire, in 1904,
when Mrs. Thornton accepted her
brother-in-law, Captain Flint's chal-
lenge to ride race for wager for 500
guineas and 1000 guineas bye" The
distance was four miles, and Mrs.
Thornton TO ride her weight against
Mr.. Flint his weight. A hundred thou
sand persons flocked to the course, and
the Sixth dragons were called out to
aid the constables in keeping order. At
the start the betting was " five and six
to four on the petticoat." When half
the course had been run it rose to seven
to four, and at three miles advanced to
two to one. During the three miles the
lady had been gradually increasing the
lead, when in the last mile her girth
slackened, and though she cleverly kept
place. 1t was said that $1,000, 900
changed hands. In the following year
Mrs. Thornton rode two races-one a
match for 1900 guineas and q bet of 600
guineas with Mr.. Bamford, who at the
last moment declined to ride, and Mrs.
Thornton cantered over the course.
The other was with famous Jockey
named Buckle. Mrs. Thornton, in pur-
pie cap and waistcoat, nankeen shirt,
purple shoes and embroidered stockings,
took the lead and kept it for seme dis
tanoe, but was passed by Buckle, who
maintained his position for a few
length, "when," to quote chronicler,
"the lady, by the most excellent horse
manship, pushed forward and came in
in a style superior to anything of the
kind we ever witnessed, gaining the
race by half neck"

The Cologne Cathedral,

The Cologne Germany cathedral, be-
gun about 1850, was finished August,
1880, when the last stone was inserted
in the final of the second tower. 1t is
5ll feet long and 23l broad, and its twin
towers are 5ll feet high. 1t originated
when the religious enthusiasm of the
Roman Catholic church was at its height
and enormous ediices were required for
the masses who thronged the altar. Up to
1880 it remained in the same state as in
the middle ages, only the great chair
and portion of the towers having been
built, the entire main part of the struc-
ture-the nave, transept and the aisles-
not having been begun. The original
| plans were found, however, in the dusty
archives OF the cathedral, giving every
| detail of its construction, so that the
work could be carried on exactly as at
| first intended. In 1880 there was a
| great enthusiasm for the monuments of
! the past throughout Germany, and the
work of completing the pile was taken
! hold of with energy under King William
Frederick Ill, of Prussia. 1t has been
pushed forward rapidly and as much has
been done in the past fifty years as could
have been done in centuries of the mid
dis ages. The greater part of the build
ing is really of modern construction
One of the towers contains the famou:
kaiser glocke (emperor's belD presented
by Emperor William in Thanksgiving
for the victory over France. The worI
has been done by large government ap
preparations, private subscription, anC
the Cologne Cathe irAl building society
with frequent drawings of a grand lot
terry. The nave, aisles and the tran
sept were consecrated in l9iS, and tia
whole interior was thrown open il

What is hopeH A smiling rainbow
Children follow through the wet;
'Tis not here, still yonder, yonder;
Never urchin found it yet.
What is lifel A thawing iceberg
On sea with sunny shore;--

Vainly strives, and fights, AMI frets;
Demanding all; deserving nothing;-
One small grave is all he gets.
