An Incident.

On railway train the writer noticed the
entrance of a mother and little son who were
unexpectedly greeted by q friend of the
mothers. The friend was only going from
one way station to the next, while the Others
were on long journey. There happened to
be but one vacant double seat In the car: and
into this the boy slipped taking the seat next
the window. His mother, eager to improve
the ten minutes with her friend, asked her
son to give up his seat and take another for
that little time, so that she could sit with her
friend NO, won't; because | want TO sit
by the window, and all the other seats have
people already at the windows"
But, darling, only for te, minutes, and
then you can sit by the window all day"
mo, ! won't 60. | want to sit by the
window now"
But, dear, not to give mamma pleasureT'
"No.n
Not for Just ten little minutes, when
mamma wants SO much To talk to her friend,
and you can sit 10y the window the whole day
longYn
'NoT'-with impatient emphasis. And in
spite of humble entreaty from the mother,
and good natured urging from the friend,
that home nurtured bit of selfishness kept his
place, the mother never dreaming of insist
ing on the right and courteous thing, but
purmuring gently that Bobby did so enjoy
looking out OF the window When 7-year-
old Bobby becomes Robert the husband, his
sad little wife will wonder, why is it that
men have so Little tenderness for their wives;"

heirs In Germany, France and England, by
the grating of elements antagouisuc to it's
growth, bad become mere shadow of its
former salf has acquired new v1gor, and even
now blossoms as the rose That this art,
which is so nearly allied to the old world d
the past, should End It's renaissance In the
last years OF the Nineteenth century amid
the dust and clamor OF our nsw world
mart Is curious enough. But In a
world where, in default Of cathedrals in
her'ited from ages gone by, our interest IN
the church Is In part manifested by the
fact that there are more than 1900 religious
edidces Of different denominations now in
course Of construction, this revival is more
than curious; it becomes question Of eminent
artistic Importance In toe Old World thu
deld or the glass stainer Is virtually limited
TO the Roman Catholic church and the Estab-
ished Church OF England Here, with the
widening of sect distinction, tho churches Of
nearly al denominations ere open TO him.
and 1t needs no gift of prophecy to foresee, in
the near future, the clear sunshine gaining

A Long Railroad.

Tho great railroad projected by the Rus

The country which this line will open up for
commercial purposes Is vast In extent and
practically untouched thus far, no commercs
existing except what is carried on by most
primitive methods. It will undoubtedly
prove productive when opened for settlement.

of 1000 miles The cost Is estimated at be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 per mile The
greater part Of the proposed route presents
few engineering difficulties, the chief of these
being bridges Of great size, which must be
