Being half filled, when the ship starts to
roll the water runs across the narrow centre
towards the side going downwards, but its
shape is such that when the ship reaches
the limit of the roll the water has not all
run down, and as she rises to roll back To-
ward the other side, the water continues to
run over in the opposite direction until she
rights herself, thus making strong coun-
ter-force against the rolling of the ship.
By the time she is righted it is ready to
renew the operation as the steamer begins
to roll in the opposite direction, so that the
water constantly opposes the direction of the
rolling and steadies the ship.
Forty Thousand separate pieces of steel
are used in the construction of the City of
Paris, weighing seven thousand tons
These were all tested as to their strength
up to sixty thousand tons, while their due
tility was proved in every case by COM
pletely doubling the plates when cold with
out a sign of fracture, thus showing the
strain which could be resisted should the
vessel run aground. There are fifty-two
furnaces burning continually, into which
ton of coal is shovelled every FIVE minutes.
The surface of the boiler tubes measures
nearly fourteen miles in length The fresh
air to burn the coal is driven by powerful
fans making four hundred revolutions

new in its application to transatlantic

/ know in grieflike thine how more than vain
All comfort to the stricken heart appears.
And as the bursting cloud must spread its rain,
So grief its tears.
l know that when thy little darlings form
Had freed the living spirits fettered there,
You could not pierce beyond the breaking storm
In your despair.
You only knew those precious eyes were dim;
You only felt those tiny lips were cold;
You only chung to what remained of him
Beneath the mould.
You could not see the tender hand that caught
Your little lamb in all his witching charms
You missed him from your own but never though
OfJesus' arms
But oh young mother, look the gate unbars,
And through the darkness smiled from the skies
Are beaming on you, brighter than those stars,
Your darling's eyes.
'Tis said that when the pastures down among
The Alpine wales have ceased to feed the hocks
And they must mount where yet the grass is young
Far up the rocks.
The shepherd takes little lamb at play.
And lifts him gently TO his careful breast
And with It's tender bleating leads the way
For all the rest
That quick the mother follows in the path.
Then Others so. like men of faith and hopes.
And soon the shepherd gathers all he hath,
Far mp the slopes.
And on those everlasting hills he feeds
The trusting fold in green that never pals
Look up oh see your little darling leads
The shepherd calls

HISTORICAL BACHELORS.
Some Fannens Men Who Never Married
and Vet We're Happy.

There seems to be unanimity of senti-
ment that whether marriage is failure or
not bachelors most certainly are. At the
best they are regarded as very selfish and
useless members of society. Defenders
and admirers of single women are not want
ing. Their goodness and usefulness are
fully appreciated by large number of
people. But the poor bachelors have not
a single advocate.

JONAS FIRST VOTE.

But He Dun Waited to Fool WfEas "a Bar
and Got Left.
1t was State election in Alabama, and
among the crowd filling in the little town
where l happened to be stepping were
some queer characters, writes NJ. Quad in
the Detroit Free Press. Among the queer
est were an old man and his son-the
father about go years old, the son about to
cast his first vote. The boy had primed up
pretty we'll, and by 10 o'clock in the fore
noon he was saying:
Father, get ten men to hold me- tur if
! turn loose this town won't be nowhar r
Be calm, Jonas, be calm" advised the
old man, as he patted him on the shoulder
Whoop! vi! vi! Whar's the critter as
saws he will challenge my fust vote?"
"Thar's no critter sayin' ANYTHING of
the sort, Jonas. Jist be quiet Don't be
raisin' your voice too much"
Jonas circulated around for awhile, took
another drink, and then came back to the
tavern steps and said:
Father, I've got to turn loose
"Shool Jonasr'
But I hev. Pm a goin' to cut loose
and go for the hull crowd, fur can't hold
myself no longer"
At that moment Turk or Bohemian or
foreigner of some sort came up with a
hand-organ and dancing bear, and SAW
a new idea strike Jonas like landslide.
The father saw it too, and he protested:
Now, Jonas, doan' make no cTitter OF
yoself. You let that bar alone"
Pop, Pm gwine to clinch him. He's
altogether TOO funny fur this yere local
ity"
You'll get busted, Jonas. Bars is en-
cry varmints."
Got to do it, pop. Pm bGbbiin' up
like biIin' soap suds, and sumethin' has got
ter he done or the biler will give way.
Stand back. Whoopeew
Every citizen Of the town heard this yell
The bear was about five rods away, going
through a waltz, and he stopped his move
ments to see what was going to happen.
Jonas made bee line for him, and as he
came within six feet he rose in the air and
came down astride of Bruin and grabbed
him by the ears and yelled:
America agin the hull airth Whoopr'

something lying in the dus. 1t looked
like old clothes, but it turned out to be
Jonas. He wasn't saying a word. He did
not know it when the father and two others
lifted him over against the fence and got
water from the town well to pour over
him. It was full quarter of an hour be-
fore he opened his eyes and family asked
Father, did l clean out the whole
crowd ?"
No, Jonas, you tackled that bar agin
my advice"

The following, which appeared in De-
troit paper, Is one Of the most touching IN
cidents to be met with:
There is family in this city who are
dependent at this moment upon little
child for all the present sunshine of their
lives. a few weeks ago the young wife
and mother was stricken down to die.
The question arose among them who
would tell her. Not the doctor Not the
aged mother, who was to be left childless
and alone Not the young husband. who
was walking the floor with clenched hands
and rebellious heart Not-there was
only one other and at this moment he
looked up from the book he had been
playing with unnoticed by them all, and
asked gravely;
is mamma dom to dieP
Then, without waiting for an answer, he
sped from the room and upstairs as fast as
his little feet would carry him. Friends
and neighbors were watching by the sick
woman. They wonderingly noticed the
pale face of the child as he laid his small
hand on his mothers pillow.
Mamma" he asked, in sweet, caressing
tones, -" is you 'fraid to die?"
The mother looked at him with swift
intelligence. Perhaps she had been think.

Sparrow Sense.

4 Sunday school paper published in
Boston tells a pretty stiff story about an
English sparrow. 1t is to the effect that a
Boston small boy recently gave some spar
rows very hard cracker, on which they
could make no impression. After picking
at it in vain for awhile, one of the spar
rows took the cracker in his bill, and flying
with it to the horse-car track, carefully
laid it on rail. Then all the sparrows
waited until car came along and crushed
it, when they flew to the spot in great glee
and ate the pieces. Now, this story may
be true, says the New York Tribune, but if
any Sunday school boy should refuse to
believe it, we hope he won't be disciplined
for his incredibly.
