A BLESSED MECCA.
BY WILL r. CHAMBERLAIN.

Dreamlike In fancy strange.
stood where time was no more,
Away from the realm Of day and night.
Far from LIES ceaseless roar;
And my thoughts were as calm as the breath
OF a child at sunset sleeping,
Aud I seemed to know that the touch OF deaf
Had been mine In the world Of weeping.
But n voice rang down SO clear
From the place OF the pure white soul,
That the grief Of regret was dried
In the essence Of its dole;
And ever the stars above
Cleaning out OF d fadeless blue,
Silently, spake Of a nameless Love
Which should never prove untrue.
Hands were clasped once more
Aud eyes looked into eyes
That had grieved by the river side
In q kingdom Of clouded skies;
Bit the happiest event to trace.
The one that touched my heart.
Was the true and gentle embrace
OF souls that had drifted apart.
Beisgs estrmngedr,n the word
A commsn Lethe had found
Beyond the ocean Of Time,
Where the darkling breakers sound:
And l thought tina Of Paradise
This surely must be a part
A region Of jeweled skies,
Where heart Is pressed to heart.
The lips which had quivered erse
Aud faces the temples Of bale,
Had lost their burdens OF care
In the lap Of the border vale;
While the music Of glad refrains.
Ringing down from the throne Oh high,
Filled all the regionless plains
With a placid %threnody.
Some were there OH whom
Mankind had sown its scorn.
And pinioncd the struggling ones
With the gives OF IA hope fOrlorn;
But l felt that the Prince Of Light.
The Christ. was a Judge supreme,
And that some, tho they walked in night.
Have spirits most pure and clean.
Sad mortal. why be bowed down
by a fear Of the rayless tomb?
We shall enter a Mecca far,
With never a shade Of gloom;
.Woy feed OF the empty husk
Which but barren joy can impart.
When beyond the pallid dusk
Fond heart Is pressed to heart?

Push!

If there was more push in the world
there would be fewer hungry, half
clothed, homeless, suffering children /;
fewer brokeI-down, dissipated men
and woman !; less need of almshOuses,
houses Of correction and homes for
the friendless.
Push means a lift for a neighbor il
trouble. Push means a lift for your
self out Of the slough of despondency
and shiftlessness, out of trouble real or
fancied. Push never hurts anybody.
The harder you push is the better, il
it is given IN just the right direction.
Always push u%phill-tew people
need a push down hill. Don't be
afraid Of your muscles and sinews;
they we've given you to use. Don't be
afraid of your hands /; they were meant
for service. Don't be afraid Of what
your companions may say. Don't be
afraid of your conscience-it will
v reproach you for a good deed;
but push with all your heart, might
and soul whenever you see anything
or anybody that will be better for 4
good. long, strong, hearty push.
Push! 1t is just the word for the
grand, clear morning of life. 1t is
just the right word for strong arms
and young hearts. 1t is just the word
for a world rs full of work as this is.
If anybody is in trouble, and you see
it, don't stand back-push! If there
Is anything good being done in any
place where you happen to be, push F!

of the paper covering, and it's conse-
quent resistance to the action of a
knife. BY a new process which has
recently been patented, the molecular
cohesion of the paper is modified in
such a manner that it a be cut as
easily as cedar wood. The paper is
first of all made into tnbes. and a
quantity of them are placed in a frame
at the lower end of a cylinder. The
substance which is to be used a. mark
ing material is placed in the cylinder
while in n plastic condition, and suffi-
cient pressure is then applied to force
1t into the hollow centers of the paper
tubes. After the completion Of the
process, the pencils are graduall;
dried at increasing temperatures dur,
ing u period Of SIX days, and they are
then plunged into a vessel of molten
paraffine-wax, which has the effect of
modifying the texture of the paper
pulp III the manner described.-M-
