the black depths of the Canalazzo. This
Grande Signora who had lain on her bed
unmoved for all the hallabaloo, and would
not suffer servant to open the gate, was
doomed on her death pillows, not long ago
to answer the call of that knocker until she
should find some one of her race upon whom
she might bestow her enormous wealth.
How she was to wrest that wealth from the
state, did not ask; nor how she was to
find descendant, if the heavenly faced
maiden was the end of her line. 1t were
well for Venice when portrait and knocker
were forever separated-when Venice was
well rid of them both. Masses must be
said for her soul. The Grande Signora of
unlimited wealth would not begrudge good
sleep, at last, to poor old lady, who had
walked all night for century?
1t cost a penny, of course-Rye's Christ
mas present-before the beggar, the briar,
the landlady, and the cafe waiter pleased
and cursed not. That night found me on
my way to Rome-the old knocker in my
trunk-only sorry Ihad not freed the dragon
from the manacles the friar imposed, and
lei it clang, clang, claug, its dragoon tongue
once more in old Venice, starting the
pallid- faced palaces from their ghostly si-
lence, and bringing the grand Signora from
her box at the freight depot to take me
sharply by the ear But the old friar said
no, and no, and made fast the wire fetters,
and sent the prize to Rye, with the injunc.
tion not to remove them until / reached
home. When he heard that old knocker
should stand at his studio door.

SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAN.

When things don't go to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown;
Since life is oft perplexing.
'Tis much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely,
And smile whenever you can.
Why should you deal the morrow
And thus despoil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble
You always have to pay.
1t is good old maxim,
Which should be often preached.
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
You may have an empty purse
(And earth has many trials
Which consider worse;)
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your earthly span,
Twill make your pathway brigher
To smile whene'er you can.

WHY THEY BLUsHED.-In one of New
York's largest oil houses is employed boy
somewhat under size, whose duties are to
keep the office clean and make himself use
full. One day the senior member of the
firm happened to chaff the little fellow about
being so small, and said to him:
'sYou will never amount to much, you are
too small.''
The little fellow looked up from the work
he was doing and said:
''Small as l am can do something that
no one else about this place can do"
"Oh, what is that?" asked his employer.
t'I don't know as / ought to tell you," he
replied.
But the employer being anxious to know,
urged him to tell what he could do that no
one else about the place was able to do.
Il can keep from swearing" said the lit
tie fellow.
There was blush on more than one face
present, and no anxiety for further informa-
tion from the very small boy.

The ARC DE TRIoMPHE.-The Arc de
Triomphe in the Place de PEtoile, Paris,
under which the remains of Victor Hugo
lay in state, owes its existence to Napoleon
l., who decreed its erection in 1906 to cele-
brate the victories of the French under the
republic and the empire. 1t is the largest
triumphal arch in Europe, being 152 feet
high. 137 feet broad and 68 feet deep. The
height of the principal arch is 80 feet, Its
cost was about So, 100 900, and it was thirty
years in completing, being finished in 1886.
There are various groups of colossal stat
uary. and Fame surmounts the whole, while
History is occupied in recording his deeds.
The interior is assembled by winding stair
cases, which lead into several large halls
After mounting 261 steps the top is reached,
from which one of the best views of Paris
is gained.

EVANGELIST SAM JONES ON CoLLEc-
TIoNs.-Between 1900 and 5000 people
were in the tabernacle last night when
evangelist Jones stood up to open the SER
vices. He prefaced his remarks with the
statement that there were some Incidental
expenses, such as the gas used, etc., that
had to be paid for, and that collection
would be taken up to meet this. "Any
gentleman" he said, evil. ..cheerfully con-
tribute his mite to help out, for the demand
is necessary and reasonable. There are
some people here, have no doubt, who
will sneer and say: "This is always the
way with these religious meetings; anything
to get money! l am not appealing to
these fap-eared hounds. They can keep
their hands and their money in their pock-
ets." Laughter Then the ushers passed
the baskets, and the clink of silver was
heard.

LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

Sometimes I'm faint and weary
Ofthis work-day world and life.
With its endless round of duties,
And all its cares and strife,
SO tired of unmended stockings,
Ofbuttons that won't stay on,
OF answering unnumbered questions
From Harry, Dick and Tom.
Tlred-of planning the dinners,
And furnishing brains for the cook,
With scarce an hour of quiet thought,
And never time for book.
marvel that we as women
Gave up our girlhood's life,
And took upon us the worries
That fall to mother and wife,
Till envy each single maiden
With no greater grief or care
Than the cut or fit of dress,
Or the smoothness of her hair.
But when the days work is over
And stilled each wee lisping tongue,
When quiet reigns which all day long,
With childish voices have rung,
And when in the gathering twilight
draw out the easy chair,
feel that this world would be empty
But for loved ones that are there;
When 1 think of the love that is mine,
That makes my burdens its own,
I'm grateful for my lot in life
That I'm not maiden lone.
And SO the problem now is solved,
My question an answer found,
Twas ever thus and e'er will be,
That love makes the world go round.

1t has been lately discovered that the
body of John Foxe, author of the famous
t'Book of Martyrs" was inferred on the
south of the chancel of st. Giles Church,
Cripplegate, London, of which church and
parish he was for some time vicar. A slab
which had been overlaid has been found on
the western wall of said church, bearing the
following inscription: "John Foxe, the
most faithful martyrologist of the Church
of England, the most sagacious inves-
tigator of historical antiquity, the. most
valiant defender of the evangelical
truth, a wondrous worker of miracles, who
presented the Marian martyrs, like phe.
hikes, alive from their ashes.''
