Praying "Yankee Doodle"

A good deacon in an old-fashioned
New England town was terribly exer-
cised over the conduct OF son Of his,
who showed a Discrimination to walking
In the straight and narrow path pre-
scribed by the strictest rules Of ortho-
doxy. This recalcitrant youth displayed
a fondness for social gatherings, and
would rather go home with pretty
girl six nights in the week than devote
single evening to careful study OF
Sunday-shool lesson. Finally the eli
max Of his transgressions was reached
and 70 the prayer meeting that week
the unhappy father took occasion to
make his family troubles the subject of
fervent petition to the throne of grace.
Thou knowest, o Lord he said,
show that son of mine has transgressed
Thy ways and brought sorrow to the
heart of Thy servant, who has tried to
bring up his son in the way he should go.
Thou know est how he prefers apple
parin's and huskin' bees and SIGH to
the means Of grace. And now, o Lord,
he has gone beyond all bounds, for did
not Thy servant hear his unsaved son
go riding through the streets of the vii
lage to-day whistling this ungodly
tune
At this point, to the utter surprise
and Generalization Of the scandalized
brethern and sisters, and to the intens e
delight of the irreverent youth who
were present, the conscientious deacon
whistled with realistic exactitude the
well-kIown strains of Yankee Doodle, ,
and then proceeded with his prayer.

A Modern Tower Of Babel.


Our great monument at Washington,
erected I'm memory of the Father, Of his
Country, enjoys the distinction Of being
the highest monument on earth. 1t Is
over 500 feet high. But in the next Paris
exposition it is proposed to erect tower
higher than anything made or imagined
since the days of Babel. 1t will be more
than 100 feet in. height, which isthree
times higher than the top of the dome
at ST. Peters ut Rome, and double the
height of the great pyramid of Cheops.
The constructor will be VI. Bourdais,
the same who built the famous Troca-
dero Palace at the last Paris exhibitions.
In a recent report be gives compara-.
tive table showing what elevations can
be obtained by building with different
kinds of material. The limit he places
to mans power of building upward is
fixed by asccrtaining at what time the
lower parts of the structure will give
way beneath the load resting upon hem,
either by becoming crushed ont of shape
or by cracking and breaking to pieces.
And of substances the most stubborn in
this respect is not iron, rs some persons
might suppose, but porphyry. The
former can, as NJ. Bourdais believes,
be used for building carried up to the
height of 1000 feet, while the latter
might form the foundation OF pile
fully thousand feet higher. But this
is supposing that the pyramidal form OF
construction is used, which is, OF course,
the most solid and durable. This could
never be admitted at "A Paris exhibition,
and so the cylindrical form would have
to be used, which would reduc" the pos
sible height to about one-third. But
the proposed tower would be built in
several pieces, Of which only the lower
one would be of expensive marble called
porphyry.-Demorest's.
