Yesterday was out in the park while the
babies, with their white capped gossiping
nurses, were still there. By and by came
upon one little toddler who had strayei out
OF the sight Of her needless nurse She was
trotting unsteadily on, talking away to her.
self in her soft baby voice. Suddenly she
stopped and looked about her She was all
alone. 1t was getting dusk. The pink lips
quivered and the blue eyes filled with tears.
She had half mind to cry
just Mt that instant there came around n
turn in the walk a tall figure with the brown
robe and Temp glrdlc OF the monastic. His
head was bowed and he seemed wrapt in re-
ligious meditation. When he saw the little
one ho stopped short mud looked all about
him Then, dropping Oh his knees he caught
the tiny white figure close i'll his arms, while
tho child, with that instinct that teaches
children what love to trust, held up her wee
mouth to be kissed. Then in the distance
was heard the sound Of the nurses voice call
ing sood-by to n dim|y visible gray coat, and
she camo hurrying up, stopping in her rush
long enough to pay her reverence to the
sanity looking priest whom she passed on the
way. walking abstractedly along with hands

The Fall Rivers chimney will furnish
draught for four new factories. 1t is claim
ed by the owners that it is "the talest CHM
ney in the world designed solely for making
draught for boilers" Building chimney
is very delicate job and requires much
more skill than most people give the work

or the failure to construct tho cores, which

In q complete demolition of the structure.
Besides these two smokestacks mentioned,
there are others in various parts of the world
worthy Of especial mention. The tallest in
the world is the one at Paisley, Scotland,
which is over sou feet high. Glasgow is next
on the list, with one of 468 feet in height.

quired to build it is n serious item. There are
but two years for this purpose, and we must
remember that it required ten years to build
canseway and inclined plane on which to
carry up the blocks for the great pyramid of
Chcops, and l0,0O0 men were twenty years
building the pyramid. But the designer
thinks thnt his structure can be completed
within the time, an opinion which reflects
upon the skill and energy of the builders Of
the Cheops affair. He admits, however, that
it must be built near granite quarry,
There is to be special railroad running
around the pile by which material will be
delivered to within 80 feet of the top after
which it will be raised by dcrricks. The road
will have more than one track, and will be
lnclosed in Il tunnel us fast us the structure
rises. When complete it will be between
fifteen and twenty miles long. Doubtless it
is intended TO serve for the ascent Of visitors
after the fair has been opened. 1t is the
longest ride yet proposed. plan for a tour

miles was recently published, which seemed
to BIO long distance hut the route over
which one will ascend to the apex OF this
great pyramid will be a good days march for

portion to its immense size. 1t will cost Sl75,-

it would necessarily be under government

would have to pay for it in order to control

Riscl for the day is passing.
And you lie dreaming on;
The others have buckled their armor,
And forth to fight are gone;
A place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play
The past md the future are nothing
In the face of the stern today
Rise from your dreams of the future,
Of gaining some hard fought field,
OF storming some air fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory
OF honor God grant it mayi
But your arm will never be stronger
Or the need SO great as today
Isisel if the past detains you.
Her sunshine and storms forget:
No claims so unworthy to hold you
AS those Of vain regret,
Sad or bright, she Is ifeltss forever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back save to learn the lesson
or n nnhler strife today
Rise! for The day is passing,
The low sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching To battle
AriSpt for tile foe Il here
Stay not to sharpen your weapons.
Or the hour will strik = at last,
When from dreams of n coming battle
You may wake to find it past

Tho Christmas Cnr.,I.

The Christmas carol is an English institu-
ton, but originally imported from France,
not, however, being peculiar to tho latter
country, since it is known to greater or less
extent to every nationality of Europe.
Christian writers say that the carol has been
used ever since the time Of Christ, and that
the shepherds watching their aocks in the
fields sang the first Christmas carol that was
ever heard. Certain it is that tho custom Of
singing carols or Christmas songs during this
great feast has never died out, but that the
Literature of every Christian country shows
specimens OF songs specially adapted to the
Christmas season and used at no other.-Es-

THE vIOLlN'S VOICE.

Pathetic Story OF . Musician and Dy-
ing Child.
The dark angel Of death was stand
ing outside the musicians door, for
little Annita, Maestro Narditti's child,
was fading away: no tears. no prayers
could avail, not even Carissima's
lovely voice. Carissima's voice
was hushed now; the maestro had
no heart to take up his dearly
loved violin and play to soothe his sor-
row. as he had done many years ago.
when his wife died and left his little
one behind. Heaven had given him
the gift OF genius and had bidden him
call aloud to the world. So Carissima
and he had played together through
sickness and sorrow and success, and
through all the changing scenes OF
life they had been faithful friends.
They had just come back from the
crowded hall; the people said that never
before had the maestro played so beau
tifully and that never before had the
violin's voice sounded so mournful and
pathetic. Well, you see, they did not
know the reason; but we do, for both
were thinking Of the little dying girl,
and how could their thoughts be any
thing but sorrowful, or the outward ex-
preston OF those thoughts be any thing
but mournfulp The father was weep
ing by his child's bedside. But she
said: "Do not weep; sing TO messing
me to sleep, for ] am so weary, dear
father, and the evening has been go
long without thee" " ''' ~ -
Then he rose and played TO her. and
she closed her eyes and listened happi.
ly to Carissima's voice II sang q
song without words--the music alone
told the tale-of a pure young lie, too
pure for earth. and therefore to be
taken away to that fair land where
only the good and, pure and trps
dwell Yet It was hard 70 leave the
earth, harder still TO leav We the dear
ones behind, and to know that they
would be dlsconsolate; and here the
violin's voice isObbed and trembled ss

"oh, play againr,. Once more he
raised his bow on high. and the air re-
sounded with psalm Of triumph-the
same melody, but no longer soft or
sad. for the gates OF the fair land were
opened wide. and amid this jubilant
strain the child passed away with the
angel Of death. - OrsnGs Judd FarmsF.
