banquet OF the Capital Bicycle club.

Four years ago yesterday seven young men
met on the east plateau of the capitol. Each
was mounted upon steel steed named the
bicycle. They were the centre of attraction,
as the bicycle was yet to become source of
amusement and business These seven young
men formed club and named it "The
Capital Bicycle club" Last night the ban

Danger at the Government Printing Omoe.

SIR A lew days ago you published an item
in relation TO the necessity Of guarding against
accidents at the government printing office,
by the exercise of great caution against fire.
There is danger greater than fire to be
dreaded in that institution, which will sooner
or later cause terrible loss Of life. If the oili-
cial whose duty it is to inspect the public
buildings will take the trouble to visit that
office and inspect the great weight of books,
paper, and machinery, in the fourth story,
and observe how the floor shakes when the
heavy truck loads of paper pass over the floor,
no will be able TO comprehend the danger.
on this floor there are some 800 men, women
and boys at work. In behalf Of 1000 employees

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.

The Kings three little daughters, meath the
palace windows straying,
Had fallen into earnest talk that put an end
to playing.
And the weary King smiled once again to
hear what they were saying.
It is 7 who love our father bestP the eldest
:" I am the oldest Princess!" and her pretty
face grew red;
What is there none can do W1thouJI ! love
him more than bread!
Then said the second Princess, with her
bright blue eyes af1ame:
- Than bread? A common thing like bread!
Thou hast not any shame!
Glad am it Is I, not thou, called by our
mothers name.
.. I love him with better love than one so
tame as thine
More than-oh. what then shall SAY that is
both bright and fine,
And is not common? Yes, I know-I love
him more than wineI ~
Then the little youngest daughter, whose
speech would sometimes halt
For her dreamy way of thinking. said: .'You
are both in fault, f&f 3
TITS who love our father best-I love him
more than salt. an
shrill little shrieks of laughter greeted her
AS the two Joined hands, exclaiming: :" But
And the King, no longer smiling, was grieved
~ that he had heard, 51ez5.. s 8
For the little youngest daughter, with her
eyes Of steadfast gray,
Could always move his tenderness, and
charm his care away.
!" She grows more like her mother dead" he
whispered, day by day.
- But she is very little, and will find no
That, while her sisters strive to see who most
shall me exalt,
She holds me e nothing dearer than . common
thing like salt"
The portly cook was standing in the court
He winKed and nodded to himself: .That
little quiet thing
Knows more than both the others, as will
show the King
That afternoon at dinner there was nothing
fit to eat;
The King turned frowning angrily, from
soup and fish and meat,
And he found q cloying sweetness in the
dishes that were sweet.
8 And vet" he muttered, musing: I can not
find the fault;
Not thing has tasted like itself but this
honest cup of malt.
Said the youngest Princess, shyly: 6 Dear
father, they want salt.
A sudden lcok Of tenderness shone on the
Kings dark face,
AS he set his little daughter in the dead
Queens vacant place;
And he thought: "She has her mothers
heart-aye, and her mothers grace.
s'Great love through smallest channels will
find its surest way;
1t waits not state occasions, which may not
It comforts a and . i blesses, hour by hour and
day by day."

THE BAR LIGHTHOUSE.

Government had for several years
been sadly neglecting a job of mendine
in the case Of the Bar Lighthouse
bridge. Here and there boards had be-
gun to spring suspiciously beneath I'M
wary footsteps; then the wind had be-
gun to tear them of, and the rain to rot
and molder them down. What was
every mans business was nobody's, and
no individual was disposed to interfere
with the province of that abstract mil
lionaire, the United States Government.
To be sure, the keeper of the Bar Light,
jackson Reed, who was naturally more
solicitous concerning the holding out of
the structure than any one else, had
wildly and fruitlessly patched some of
the worst places, off and on, after a
hard NORTHEASTERN when he aWoke
more keenly to the exigencies of the
case, and. the hopeless dilatoriness Of
his task-master. But it had amounted
to very little. Long neglect had made
something more than mere patching
necessary. Now the quarter mile bridge
leading to the Bar Lighthouse, if not
in an absolutely unsafe condition, was
not calculated to inspire any degree of
confidence in the unaccustomed crosser
at least. 1t was not quite SO bad at low.
tide, or on a mild, still day. There
was not so much to fear then beyond a
little fall and ducking; that is, if one
cleared one Of those ragged apertures
successfully. But on q dark night,
with the winds bowling over it, and the
ocean laundering beneath it, it was the
sort of bridge that only a disembodied
spirit could be supposed to cross with
any degree of nonchalance. e.
The lighthouse itself was only an or
binary dwelling house, strongly built,
with tower for the light. It stood on
a massive pile of rocks, with little tufts
of coarse vegetation in the clefts. Jack
son Reed, who had an unfortunate love
and longing for garden spot, had ac-t
tually wheeled enough earth over from
the mainland for little patch few
yards square, and when he was not en-
gagged in a fruitless struggle with the
broken bridge he was engaged in fruit
less struggle with his garden. Apotter-
ing old man was jackson Reed, lacking
in nervous force and quickness of intel
lect; but he had never let the light 90
out, and the only thing that is absolutely
required Of a lighthouse keeper is to
keep the light burning for the sailors
who steer by it.
The wonder was that his wife Sarah
should have been his wife. She was
person not Of a different mold merely,
but of a different kind; not of a different
species, but different genus. Nervous
and alert, what her husband accepted in
patient silence she received with shrill
and questioning. Her
husband patched the bridge, crawling
over its long reach on his old knees;
she rallied, as she watched him, at the
neglect Of Government. He uncom-
brushed the sand from his
little. puny, struggling plants, and she

As to the Postal Card.


It is a good rule never to use a postal
card for any message which could not
with propriety be shouted across the
street. There IRE many matters to be
communicated from one human being
to another, which are nobcdy's bust
ness outside of those who do the COM
municating. 1t does not necessarily
follow that these things are always
secrets, or that they are anything to be
ashamed of. But there is sanctity and
a degree of decorum in sealed letter
which never can pertain to the open
card. The card is easy, hasty and of
hsHe trouble to write. But for the
message of affection, the neighborly
greeting, the exchange of social fellow
ship or the, conveying Of important in
formation, let us enjoy the old-fashioned
