One Room.

On Wall street, 20 the cast of the mas
sive and imposing Sub-Treasury, stands
an odd building of white marble, flush
with the street. In architectural design
it resembles one of those colonial wooden
structures that arc still to be seen in cer-
tain parts of New Eugland. It's staid
simplicity seems out of place, situated as
it is in the very centre of all financial &C.
tivity. The quiet elegance Of its front is
in singular contrast with the rear of the
building, which is of brick, and built in
the style of an old Dutch bargomaster's
house.

A Photographic Hat.

Herr Luders, of Gorlitz, has patented
Photographic apparatus that can be car
ried in the hat. This novel head-dress
contains, besides the machine, number
of prepared plates. In the front part Of
the hat there is small circular opening
about the size OF small shirt button be-
hind which the lens is fixed. BY means
of a string on the outside of the hat its
wearer, whenever he finds himself enjoy
ing pleasant view or is in contact with
a person whose features he wishes to pre-
serve, can, without attracting attention,
instautancously take the picture and fin
ish it up at leisure.-St. Louis Republic.

are covered with designs of various kinds;
and they all have some reference to sun
worship. The pillars were probably en-
graved by the original natives of the
land, who are now known only by these
and other relics in this quarter of Peru.
They are supposed to have been highly
civilized race. 1t is not believed that
the people brought these stones to their
present position. The rocks arc those
called "erratic," or wandering stones,
and were probably left by glacier.

THREE TRAVELLERS

Three travellers met In Brander Pass,
BY the bubbling Brander spring;
They shared their cake and their venison,
And they talked of many thing
OF books, of song and foreign lands, .:.
OF strange and wandering lives, n,
And by and by, in softer tones, =.
They spoke of their homes and wives.
81 married the Lady O. Logan Brae,"
Said one, with a lofty air:
"There isna in a. the North countree
A house with better share
OF gold and gear, and hill and lock,
Ofhouses and farms to rent; 4,
There's many man has envied me
And I'm mair than weel content"
'Dream Of a woman as bright as day."
The second traveller said.
"Dream of a form of perfect grace,
OF noble face and head,
OF eyes that are as blue as heaven,
OF flowing nut-brown hair;
That is my wife, and, though not rich,
Oh, she is wondrous fairr'
The third one said: 81 have wife,
She is neither rich nor fair;
She has not gold, nor gear, nor land.
Nor a wealth of nut-brown hair;
But, oh /! she loves me, and her love
Has stood through every test.
Beauty and gold are good, but, friends,
We know that love is best"
They filed their cups in the spring again,
And they said, right heartily:
Heres to the loving, faithful wife, 4!
Wherev her home may be-"
And soon ,ey took their different ways
One thous It in each mans breast:
Beauty is 6 cd, and gold is good,
But true 10 is the best" 'A

Near the village of San Jose, Peru, on
the shores of the great Lake Titicaca-
the loftiest lake in the whole world, are
three large pillars of stone, of which we
give a picture. They are of unusual
height, and the condors that perch on
the top of them add by their gaunt figures
and black plumage to the weird effect of
the solitude.
