A SONG OF THE WORLD.
FRANCIS s. SMITH.

A SONG of the world-the beautiful world
In s3ite of its clouds and its cares,
It's trials and pains, its shames and its stains,
= Tts cruel deceits and its snares.
With all of its sad faults, It's the best world we
rTis the only one given to man
So let us accept it, with thanks, as 1t Is,
And so enjoy it as long as we can. -
Then away with the cynic who eavlls at lie,
And wishes his days at an endl
Never yield to despair, but patiently pear
Such mishaps man cannot menu
What miner who works the auriferous earth,
Its glittering store to unfold,
Would be sour in mood, If the yield was good,
Because he found dross with the goldE -
Then while you are working the cast mine Of life,
Be humble, content, and resigned-l
Never worry nor fret; face the best you can get
[ And whistle the worst down the .Wlnd
Then away with the cynie, etc.
We were put here to struggle-'twas Heavens de-
Each man has his mission to fill
Misfortunes may fret us, temptations beset us,
But we are Gods children still.
When i'll fortune meets us and enmity greets US,
We should then on ourselves most rely
Be brayei for it takes, when the storm on us
breaks,
More courage to live than to die.
Then away with the cynic etc.
'Tis glorious world, if we look at it right,
And we should rejoice TO be in it
There are birds in each grove, there are sweethears
And success if we struggle to win it.
So let us determine that, happen what may,
We will stay with the weeds and the flowers,
And the friends and the foes and the joys and the
woes,
Which make up this great world Of ours.
Then away with the cynic, etc.
What folly to look on the dark side of life,
While the world is refulgent with light!
Creep out of the shade and stand up undlsmayed,
In the rament of reason bedightl
There is room for us all on this wide-spreadlng
earth,
So, with Charitys banner unfurled,
Let us join in one cry, while old Time hurrles by,
''Three cheers for this beautiful world"
Then away with the cynic, etc.

Terms to the Judges Decision.

The Rev. MIR. Stowe never received such
a shock. He leaned over in his chair to
pick up his napkin. which. OF course, had
not fallen. Mrs. Boradman must at that

WHY Many Farmers Do Not Succeed.

In many sections of the country we
meet great many farmers who are al
ways complaining about hard times, says
writer in the Rural New Yorker. They
practice what they believe to be the strict
est economy; they work hard enough, but
the money does not pour in upon them IN
avery large stream. Really does not run
into their pockets in any stream at all;
it just reaches them in far between meager
drops. A few other farmers owing to
more or better land, and who work no
harder have enough money Why is it

WORTHLESS PAPERS STORED.
Tons Of Public Documents of No Use
Occupying Valuable Space.

Reports are being submitted to the Secretary
OF the Treasury by the various chiefs of bureaus
OF that department giving information relative
to the amount of stored documents, papers
vouchers, receipts, &C.. in their respective
h!es that can be destroyed without injuring the
interests OF the government. This is in accord
ance with the provisions of an act Of Congress
passed year or SO ago calling for statistics on
which to base some remedial legislation. 1t is
known that in the Treasury department there
are many much-needed rooms occupied by
these really useless files that can be dispensed
with as well as not
In the office of the third auditor alone there
are four large rooms that are filled with worth
less papers. This is but a sample, and in the
crowded condition of the Treasury department
1t Is highly important that there should be
general house cleaning
The report from the bureau of internal reve-
nue. shows that in that Office there are 10,112
cubic feet OF paper-amounting to $50 tons
that can be destroyed without any danger.
these consist mainly of stub books of revenue
officers, containing records of stamps issued.
The accounts of these officers are all closed
and this material is just so much dead weight.
The act referred to included all of the ex-
ecutlve departments and soon as the reports
are made to Congress a committee consisting
OF the President of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House will consider methods by which
this vast mass of paper may be removed from
the room 1t now occupies.

A LEAKY SILVER VAULT.
Canvas Bags Containing $S7, OOO,O 900
Soaked With Rain Water.

Have you a natatorium in this city?" asked
Treasurer Huston of STAR reporter.
Not at present." was the reply
'Well, we have the starting of one down
stairs" he said. down in the new silver vault
The rain has flooded it badly. Some time ago
the top dressing of material was taken off and
the concrete roofing exposed for the purpose
of replacing the top roof with a new one This
was to remedy the difficulty that had been ex-
perienced with slight leakages from the side
walls. but We have jumped from the frying
pan into the fire, for the water is
POURING DOWN IN STREAMS
from above. The silver-about SS7. 000, 000-is
stored in bags of 81 900 each, and the bags are
placed in wooden boxes-two in each. These
boxes are piled one on top of another nearly to
the top of the cages. In some of the cells the
boxes are overlooking with water and the
moisture stands out in beads on the canvas
Or course the dampness cannot very well hurt
the silver, but it will rot the bags and the
boxes, in which case the silver would be strewn
all over the floors. This would necessitate a
recount Of the money and would cost a great
deal of money. AS it is, fear that it will be
necessary to take the money out now and rebag
and rebox the whole. This would probably
COST NOT LESS THAN $4,000.
''If something is not done the odor coming
from the decaying bags and boxes will be ter
rible and will render it impossible for anybody
to remain in the vault to work There is no
chance of the dampness evaporating, for the
space is confined. There is no means of tell
ing just how deep the water has penetrated, for
the cages have not been opened"
1t is probable that an effort will be made to
steam the moisture out of the bags. Some ex-
periments have been made that indicate that

be rebagged
