A Queer but Efficient Rule.

Chicago architects have queer way
of estimating the cost of the ten and
twelve story buildings now being erected
there. They take the dimensions and
find the exact cubic contents. Then
they say the building, If plainly flashed,
should cost 25 cents cubic foot, AMI
not more than s. cents if caborately
finished. This is kind Of 'Rule of
Thumbs plan which the boat builders
use to determine the carrying capacity
of their vessels. The rule of thumb is
said to be very exact, and SO is the rule
of the architects noted above. The use
of the rule by the architects is almost
universal throughout the west. 1t en-
ables them to como somewhere near the
cost Of the buildings so that they can
find out whether it is worth while to
draw plans and make specifications.
Contractors also use the rule so that
they can give rough guess and decide
whether they will be able to carry such
large contract. - Buffalo Express.

A Rich Sea Harvest.

The coast OF Maine is SO indented by
bays and inlets that the actual shore line
is fully 2t00 miles in extent. Along
this shore are many of the chief cities,
towns and important industries of
Maine. Oae of the most important of
these industries is the catching, trans
portation, canning and sale OF lobst,r,.
This is an industry that has grown in
thirty years from a business that gave
employment to few score of hands. 1t
now employs moro than 1000 fishermen,
nearly 1000 boats and forty vessels, and
distributes in various ways more than
5000, 900 annually. The business of
lobster catching in general requires two
men to boat, with 200 traps, at cost
of about $500 for the entire outfit.

Last Night.

Last night my dream-clad feet did tread
On well remembered paths; and did SEQ
The self same scenes-the same stars shed
Their dreamy light on you and me;
The little stream coursed on its silent way,
Our little boat rocked idly at our feet,
And sido by side we watched the shadows
play,
And list to strange, weird music, wildly
sweet,
Last night.
Last night we drifted down tho self-sams
stream;
And / looked down into those midnight
eyes,
And read in their clear depths my lifelong
dream;
They were to me my heaven and my para
disc.
You sang, and e'or the echoes died AWAY
My heart beat wildly with throbbing
pain,
Ny eyes were weeping, for could not stay
The tears that came for tho hopes long
slain
Last night!
LuSt HiSnI { er Tue evening snduOWS Ieil
We met, we parted, twas the last on
earth,
/ heard, as of yore, the village church bell,
AS 1t rang on that eve of the Saviour's
birth,
How little we dreamed as he turned to go,
The different paths we were doomed to
tread!
Then my heart grew sick and my head bent
Oh, many the sorrow that lips never
knowl
And l sprinkled with tears hope long dead
Last night.
Last night my dreaming fancy led me wher,
In days forgotten we would often stray,
And bid me dwell for one brief moment
there,
And sip the fragrance Of the new-mown
hay
And faces that the sod hath covered DER
And blotted from our sight, came back to
| me,
And phantom figures pressed the tufted
floor
Where we two fingered in our infancy
