THE LIGHT OF HOME.

When every star that gems the sky Pr
In darkness hides its silvery ray,
And midnight shadows thickly lie,
Like sable curtains on the way,
One light remains to pierce the gloom,
One ray-it is the light OF home.
Tint light where e'er undimmed In shines,
Unnumbered blessings sheds around;
Where foil its soft and tender lines
There truest happiness is found. "
There is no light beneath the dome
So precious Us the light of home.
Within its sacred CIRCLE blend 49,
The purest virtues, true and strong;
Here friend deserves the name Ut friend,
And love resides, nor fears q wrong;
And when the heart meets pain and i'll
That friendly beacon cheers it still.
For ono afar its radiance streams
= The proof of Joy and hope and cheer,
And draws him with its welcome beams
To all he holds most priced and dear.
HIS heart is glad, his eye grows bright,
As he holds its faithful light.
And thus as we, with weary feet
LIES dark and tangled mazes tread,
Let us take heart, for. pure and sweet,
There is light that shines ahead,
That leads us onward, while we roam,
TO find in Heaven the light OF home.

was in fits for seven consecutive weeks,

he remarked to his brother that he

FREDERlCK'S KINDNESS,

! Courtesy will, Which He Treated French
Family During tho War. e.,
! The Berlin Borsen Courier prints q
letter from lady at Versailles, in
whose house the late Emperor
Friedrich lived during the winter OF
1901: ''These were indeed bad
times" she says, 'but we thought our
| selves happy to he under the protection
OF that stately and friendly gentleman,
| who appears to us, as we now think OF
him, to have been a good genius, VIII o
warded off mischief from our house.
hold. Although, according to the laws
of war, he was our master, and tho
owner for the time of all that we had,
he behaved himself always as if he
was our guest. I can never forget the
gentleness with which he used to ask
for any thing, whether for himself or
his adjutant, anologizing for giving
us trouble, fearful of causing
any inconvenience, and inquiring
whether this or that would interfere
with our own arrangements. On
Christmas Eve, when a huge chest ar
rived from Berlin for the Crown
Prince, he invited his hostess and her
family to partake of his Christmas
cake. This cake,' said he, as he cut
off slices for the French ladies, twas
baked by my wife, and must oblige
you to taste it." He then chatted to
them about the Christmas festival in
his own happy household, and trans
lated passages from the letter of the
Grown Princess and the letters of his
two eldest children Wilhelm, the
present Emperor, and Charlotte. ''In
those Hateful days." she continued. 1--WE
learned to know the whole good and
open heart of your late Emperor. The
terrible 10th of January, 1871, when
there was fighting at Mont Valerien,
Bougival and St. Cloud, and
our troops were driven back upon
Paris many thousands of my
fellow-countrymen were taken
prisoners. At six o'clock in the
evening the Crown Prince had learned
that among them were several men
who were not professional soldiers
lawyers, artists, teachers, merchants
and others. He asked the French Off
GERS who were taken prisoners to mott
fy these civilians that if they gave
their names to him he would place es-
corts at their service so that they
might return to their homes and work.
This generous nobleness in your Prince
made deep impression upon the
French mind. 1t has never been for
gotten, and I know with what pro-
found respect the knightly conqueror
was spoken of at that time. The older
folk in France, in whom the recollec-
ton of those days must always abide,
hold the memory of the noble Emper-
or Friedrich in the greatest esteem"

How Oil Rockets Are Made.

The use of oil to calm troubled
waters is we'll known, and the latest
invention, that of scattering it abroad
through the medium of rockets, seems
likely to prove invaluable. Lieutenant
Cottman, of the photographic Office,
thus explains how the rockets are
made: "Above the rocket composition
the shell is prolonged an inch and a
half to receive the oil cylinder which
contains within it an exploding cham
Der filed with powder. Some loose pow
der is poured on top of the fuse compo-
sition and the cylinder then slipped on
the rocket. The stick is weighted with
lead to balance exactly, so as to pre-
vent trembling. All being ready the
rocket is set off from tube, and fol-
lows the direction given it. The burn
ing composition finally reaches the
loose powder and the flame is COM
municated through small hole in the
bottom of the cylinder to the bursting
charge of powder within the exploding
chamber, the cylinder is thrown for
ward and exploded, and the oil spread
upon the surface of the water" The
rockets have been tested and found to
be successful in their work.-M Y.
