A Good Mans Tenderness

Boys are sometimes tempted to think
that to be tender-hearted lis to be weak
and unmanly. Yet the tendermost
heart may be associated with the strong
est and most forcible mind and will.
Take, for example,. the story told of
him to whom we owe our wonderful
railway system. George Stephenson
went one day into an upper Don of
his house and closed the. window. 1t
had been left open a long time because
of the great heat, but now the weather
was becoming cooler, and so Mi. Ste
phenson thought it, would be we'll to
shut it. He little knew, at the tine
what he was doing Two orthree days
afterward, however. he CHANGED. TO- OBJ
serve a bird flying against the same
window and beating against it with. all
its might, again and again. as if trying
to break it. His sympathy and curiosity
were aroused. What could: the little
thing want? He at once went to, the
room and opened. the. window to- see.
The window opened, the bird flew
straight to n particular spot in the
room, where Stephenson saw a. nest
that little birds nest. The. poor bird
looked at it, took, the sad story in at a
glance, and futtered down, to, the. floor,
broken-heartedI. almost dead.
Stephenson. drawing near TO- look,
was filled with, unspeakable. sorrow.
There sat the mother, bird, and, under it
four tiny little young ones-mother and
young all apparently dead. Stephen
son cried aloudi He tenderly lifted the
exhausted bird from the. floor. the worm
it had so long and bravely struggled to
bring to its. home and, young still in its
beak, and carefully tried to. revive it;
but all his, efforts proved in vain. 1t
speedily died. and; the great man
mourned for many a day. At that
time the force Of George Stephenson's
mind was changing the, face of the
earth, yet he wept at the sight of this
dead family, and was deeply grieved be-
cause he himself had ,unconsciously
been the cause Of death. -Manchester

The Conductors Jaw Droppet

The Conductors Jaw Dropped.
One of those smart Alexanders who
travel on cheek and the inability of
the public to change 500 bills for a
glass of soda or four tobies got on a
Penn avenue car the other day and
rendered the aforesaid 500 for his fare.
Of course the conductor could not
change it, and so he got his ride free.
This was repeated unit | the conductor
got tired of it, and after the fourth or
fifth time of its repetition he deter.
mined to get even with the fellow. By
visiting the toll-houses, and by other
means unknown, the manipulation of
the bell-punch managed to scrape up
$40 95 in pennies.
Placing these in. a little bucket he
quietly awaited the appearance of his
victim, having posted the driver and
some, other intimate friends who hap
pened to be on board. When the I'M
s~uspecting young man with the pie
thor c pocketbook put in an appear
ance and promptly produced the 900
with many apologies the conductor
pocketed~ the bill and produced his lit
tie bucket, and amid the grins OF spec
tators presented it to his customer.
The young man looked pretty cheap,
and. after feeling the heft of the bucket
t~houghtfully got off the 2 and disap-
peared around a corner. Then the
conductor took the bill from his peck
ct and proceeded to fold it up nicely,
SO that it would fit into a convenient
corner of his pocketbook. Something
in the appearance Of the bill caught
his eye, and, as he examined it q little
closer, his jaw, dropped about a foot.
The bill was of the genus denominated
by the sporting fraternity as ''queer."
The young man had also been laying
for the conductor.-Pit6urgh CONNER

Origin of Slanting Roofs.

To find the source from which Euro
pean nations have derived the art of
building in stone, we must look to the
land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt the
craft passed to Greece, and from the
Greeks it was taken up by the Romans.
to be by them dissem mated through the
north and west of Europe i'm the pro-
cess of colonization. The similarity in
regard to the constructive parts of the
ancient Greek buildings to some of
those found in Egypt Of older date, af-
fords strong confirmation of the tradi
ton that tho Greeks borrowed the art
from the Egyl t ans. The Greeks. how.
ever, in adopting it added a new fea-
ture, the pediment, and the reason for
this addition is easy to find. Egypt Ia
pract; cally rainless. All the protection
from the climate required in a palace
or temple in such a country is shelter
from the sun by day and from the cold
by night, and for this a fiat roof, sup
ported by walls. or pillars with archi-
traves. is quite sufficient; but, as when
in all European countries, rain has to
be taken into account. a slanting roof
becomes necessary. The Greeks, with
their eyes for symmetry, provided for
this by forming the roof with a centrrl
ridge. at an obtuss angle, from which
it sloped down equally on either side.
The triangular space thus formed at
the end of the building above the ar
chitrave was occupied by the pediment.
and this part of the facade, which owed
its birth to the exigencies of climate.
was th~enceforth r~egardedlas so essen
tial to the artistic completeness of the
work that it was said that if a temple
were to be erected in the. celestial re-
gions, where rain would not be possible.
the pediment could not be omitted
