BABY is Dead.

sBaby is dead 2 Three little
words passing along the line, copied
somewhere and soon forgotten. But
after all was quiet again leaned
my head upon my head upon my
hand and fell into a deep severie
of all that those words may mean.
Somewhere-a dainty form, still
and cold, unclasped by mothers
arms tonight. Eyes that vester
day were bright, and blne as skies
of June dropped Tonight Beneath
white lids that no voice can ever
raise again.
Two soft hands. whose rose.leaf
fingers were wont to wander loving
" around mothers neck and face,
loosely holding white buds, quietly
folding in cotfined rest
Soft lips, yesterday ripping with
laughter, sweet as woodland brook
falls, gay rs trills of forest bird, to-
night nhresponsive to kiss or call
of love.
A silent home-tha patter of ba-
by feet forever hushed-a cradle
bed impressed. Little shoes half
worm dainty garments-shoul der
kxots of blue to match those eyes
of Yesterday, Folded with aching
heart away.
A tiny mound, snow covered
il. some quiet graveyard.
A mother'e groping touch in un-
easy slumber, for the fair head that
shall never rest upon her bosom
Tie low sob, the bitter tear as bro
ken dreams awake to sad, reality.
The hopes of future years wrecked
like fair ships that suddenly ge
down in sight of land.
The watching Of other babies
dimpled; laughing, strong and this
one gone! The present agony o
grief, the future emptiness OF heart
all held in those three little words
"Baby is dead !''
Indeed, it is we'll that we cal
copy and soon forget the word
so freighted with woe to those VIII
receive and send them. Aud ye
it cannot harm us now and then t.
give tender Thought I'd those whon
our careless pen stroke is preparing
such a weight of grief.-letegrap

old Scotch drama of sCraraond
Brig,' The various members of the
company playing in the piece had
their choice Of Eherewithal to wash
down their sheed and harrigles'-
of which. by the way, over hun
dred were consumed during the
run-and the miller's supper be-
came nightly jollity, except, per-
haps, to the Scotch nobility and
the Kings huntsmen, who, with
watery mouths and eager eyes,
crowded the wings forbidden by
the irony of fate to enter upon the
scene until the supper has been
cleared away.
This piece had reminded me OF
an incident which came under my
notice good many years age. In
the off-season Of a large provincial
theater, in which ] was stock actor,
| took an engagement in small
town, then known as one of the
most thriving seaports of the North.
The salary was little; the parts
were long, and there was not much
opportunity for gaining rerown.
However, It was better than re-
naming Idle, as at the worst, the
amount Of debt to be accumulated
was minimised. The manager was
not bad fellow, and having been
good actor in his time, was only
TOO glad to be surrounded by a class
of actors whoae services be could
only obtain by the opportunity af-
forded by the bright summer-in
those pslmy days the darkest and
wintriest season to the airy comedi
an or the thoroughly Legitimate
tragedian.
Our opening bill consisted o.
'Gramond Brig Lord Darnley,

contributing my share in the Ma

DRIFTING AWAY.

Drifting away from each other.
Silently drifting apart:
tTothing retween but tho worlds cold seree n
Nothing to lose but heart.
Only two lives dividing
More and more every day;
Only one soul from another 70 e1
Steadily drifting away.
Only . mans heart striving
Bitterly hard with its doom,
Only hand, tender and bland,
Slipping away in the gloon.
Nothing Of doubt or wrong,
Nothing that either can cure;
Nothing to shame, neti,ing to blame,
Nothing to do but to endure,
The world cannot stand still,
Tides ebb and women change,
Nothing here that is worth tear,
One love iess-nothing strange.
Drifting away from each other,
Steadily drifting apart
No wrong to each other that the world can
reach
Nothing lost but heart.

Thomas and /. W. skinner, 10 avoid the
constant fiickering in all electric lamps
now in use. The arrangement is entirely
automatic, the current itself regulating
Tie distance between the upper and
l0Wer carbOns. The lower carbon Is con-
uected through the frame OF the lamp with
N insulated wire at the top 10 the positive
pole Of The battery. The upper carbon IS
nken through coil of insulated wire con-
nectcd at the top with the negative pole OF
%. battery. On top OF the carbon and
fastened 10 il is piece OF soft iron OF the
sane shape, also fitting into the coil. The
ron and carbon are nearly balanced by
two weight, attached 10 TIVE wheels which
Hn up and down on each side OF the coil.
When these wheels touch the coil the in
'uaiion is taken of, and the wheels touch
.lg the wire lead of the current from the
0Wer part OF the coil and by another wire
% the upper carbon. The current only
passing through the upper part OF the coll
attracts the soft iron upward. When the
carbon burns slowly away, the current Is
reduced and has less lifting force. The
crbon slowly sinks. The wheel and weight
$50 sink. When the carbon again burns
sway, the strength Of the current IS re-
tuced, and the carbon gradually drops.
The weights arc small metal buckets, to he
filed with shot according to the strength
q the battery. The advantage of the light

rmlation Of the length OF the are, which
dTes good soft color to the light, and

ag that by this means the current works
automatically. Clutches, glycerine cups,
