LULLABY.
Daylight is dying.
Homeward are flying
Birds to the soft, downy nest;
The sun hides his head
In the dark oceans bed,
And thou on the heart that loves bcsk
The lambs on tho void
Are seeking the fold
AS shadows grow somber and gray;
While the firefy's spark
Cleans in the dark
To show thee to dreamland the wny
Sweet flowers arc sleeping.
Pale mists are creeping
Over the mead. up the hill.
In shadowy hooks.
BY the ripping brooks
Whose waters lie quiet and still
Through the clouds silv'ry lace
The moons gentle face
Bends with tender good night;
Then whisper thy prayer
On the calm. solemn air.
And slumber till morning Il bright.
May the stars as they shine
On this jewel of mine
Not find thee, my darling. awake,
But smile DER thy sleeping.
With fond angels keeping
Watch for the Holy Ones sake.

the dwarf, and you dare not touch me"
And there arose from the ground two
fiery dragons, at the sight of which all the
courtiers fed in terror, and the Queens
beautiful daughter was carried away by the
hideous dwarf. Then there was great MOURN
ing at the castle for the Princess Rosa, and
ror many weeks brave soldiers searched in
vain Tor the lost Princess. Prince Henry
travelled into distant lands, there to seek his
sister and bring her to the sorrowing mother.
When he had searched through many coun-
tries he came one evening to the shore OF
crystal lake. Pausing here for an instant
he heard voice say: "Prince Henry, listen
to me and 1 will help you"
On looking about Tor the speaker the
Prince discovered rocking in the waves
little nymph, who continued: "The witch
OF the desert and her son, the dwarf, are
our worst enemies, and have often caused
much unhappiness to our race. For that
reason wish to DESTROY them. They have
carried your sister to the magic place in the
desert, and in the beautiful garden the
Princess wanders and grieves over her sad
fate. shall give you a jeweled sword with
which you can safely enter the magic palace
and strike liieless the witch and her son"
The nymph then produced sword glearn-
ing with gems, and when the Prince had re-
ceived it and thanked his friend. he joviully
returned to his native land and,was not long
in Fastening to the witch's palace. AT the
sight OF the jeweled sword the raging lions
fled away, and unharmed, the Prince en-
tered the garden. Here he was met by a

LIhANeLAlhD tOh In DlofAICH.l
In stately old castle, protected by strong
walls, and surrounded BY large forest of
giant oaks, there lived one time a queen
with her two children, a boy and a girl.
The young Prince Henry was brave, hand
some youth whom everybody loved, but his
sister, the Princess Rosa, was so beauti ul
that people came from all parts of the king
dom to get sight of the lovely maiden.
The Queen loved her daughter with such
devotion that she could not refuse her any
request, and thus the Princess grew TO be
wayward, Gisobedient child, and source OF
great annoyance TO her teachers, because she
was not studious like her brother.
The mother was greatly distressed to see
her beautiful daughter grow up in lgno-
rance; but she knew not how to prevent it.
Finally she decided to take the advice of
the old witch OF the desert, who was famed
throughout the land Tor her wisdom. But
TO enter the witch's castle was no easy task;
for the gate was guarded by two fierce lions
which never slept, and which could tear in
pieces anyone attempting to pass them.
Fortunately, the Queen knew that the rage
of the lions could be subdued by feeding
them honey cakes; and providing herself
with these she set out on loot and alone TO
the desert When the Queen had walked
manv miles she was SO overcome Win
fatigue that he stopped under large tree
TO rest. and there fell into deep sleep.
She was suddenly aroused by great

CHILDS COUNTRY HOME.
Pretty Place That Costs the Popular

4 Editor $4,000 Yeur.
Many people Of sound judgment regard
"Wootton," George W. Childs' place, at
Bryn Mawr as the finest and most ex.
pensively maintained country place in the
United States, says the Philadelphia Press
Mr.. Childs has just arranged for the erec-
tion of new building on the grounds. 1t
will cost $40, 900. 1t will only be a stable.
1t is said that ir will be the finest in the
country. It will take the place OF the one
that was recently set on hre and burnt down.
On the average about 20 men and II horses
are required the year round to take care of
the grounds and work the farm. Six men
in summer are needed to look after the lawn,
and the high-priced head gardener has six
assistants. They average about $35 month
beside their keep.
There are three men besides in the stable,
when the family is at the place. One is an
Euglish coachman, at SIS month, one is
footman, and the third is generally useful
man. There are also two men in the house.
who get something like $50 a month and ex-
celIent living. The cook is an old colored
woman. She has provided entertainment
for all the distinguished people who have
been entertained at that place. She has two
people who assist her. and there are usually
three or four other women servants there be-
sides Mrs. Childs' maid.
The wages for the house servants and the
other employees average usually about 81 900
a month. The palace itself has about $780,,
900 tied up in it, and the interest on that
sum counts, Of course, in the yearly cost,
and the annual outlay for Improvements
and repairs is also very large. The total
cost oil the palace runs up, as far as a care
ful estimate can follow it, to about $50, 900
a year.

ware, Prince, the dwarf is thine enemy, and
should he find you here death will be your
fate. Give US thy sword, and then haste
away."
But when the Prince cried, "With this
sword 1 shall slay both the dwarf and his
evil mother" the maidens disappeared and
the Princess Rosa entered the garden. She
was greeting her brother with tears OF joy
when the dwarl's sharp voice was heard TO
say: $50 you will carry away nv prisoner
without asking my leave?''
But before he could utter another word,
Prince Henry had struck him with his
sword, and the wicked dwarf fell dead to the
ground. When the witch heard of her sons
death she was very angry, and rushed upon
the Prince as If to tear him to pieces. But
she too was made lifeless by the water
nymph's sword. And to-day, in the great
desert, may be seen the ruins of the magic
palace; while III the stately old castle in the
oak forest is shown the jeweled sword which
rescued Princess Rosa from the evil dwarf.

Liquor In Ho.pita l. and Inarmarie..

A statistician has collected information
showing the consumption OF alcoholic
liquors in about 80 hospitals anil in6rm-
aries in the United Kingdom. and the aver
age cost under this head for each patient or
member of the staff. The highest is at
Elgin, which has a small infrmary with %
patients. There the average for each pa
tient and the staff is Is. 10Ld. The next Is
Lincoln County Hospital with an average
of 5s. ID, and there is one as low as 12<d.
He addressed the infrmary governors Of
Newcastle and expressed the opinion that
science had proved that patients could bs
cured on the temperance principles as easily,
and in some cases much more easily, than
BY giving them intoxicating drinks. No
resolution WIS, however, proposed.

SMOKE SUPPRESSION.

How the Chicago People Hope TO Make
Lake Craft Do Better.
Determined attempts are being made in
Chicago to suppress the binding smoke
that is blown ashore from passing steam
craft An experiment was made recently to
demonstrate the practicability of new in
vention. A small tube with, perforated
top, like that in a sprinkling can, was in
troduced into the smokestack, and through
this steam could be injected upon the up
rushing smoke, which Immediately con-
densed. The little tube, with its jets and
sprays of steam is not smoke consumer,
but there seems little doubt of its utility in
the prevention of smoke.

perhaps always, shaven. A long tail of
hair hung down behind. and in some cases
it appears to have been double, as two
masses, one on each side of the face, are
seen in some front views. Their portraits,
as seen on their monuments, lately discov-
cred in Northern Syria, are strikingly like
the representations of them on the Egyptian
monuments. This people maintained a
military supremacy in North Syria for
many centuries. With Rameses the Great,
1400 B. c., they we're at constant war, de- y
ing tie strength of the Egyptians, who very
narrowly escaped acrushing defeat. Their
powers were so nearly equal that at last a
long treaty was made with honorable stipu-
lations on both sides, and the daughter OF
the Hittite King became wife of Rameses

Facts About the Hittites, Who Were Great
and Ancient People.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat1
The great people known as Khiti (Hitt-
ites) in the Hebrew. and as Khita in Egypt
ian, who existed hundreds of years before
Christ, formed a powerful State in North
Syria and on the Euphrates, from Lebanon
to the Great River being all of it "the land
of the Hittites." Their appearance was
peculiar; always beardless, with very re-
treating foreheads running back into a
pointed head. thus forming a considerable
angle between the lower part of the face
and the upper, with very deeply marked IA
cial lines or wrinkles down the sides of the

We recognize It by its properties. Some of
those are here given. Ii "live wire," that
is, wire with current of electricity how-
ing through it, is wound around piece OF
soft iron, the iron will become magnet
and in this state is called an electro
magnet" to distinguish it from the ordinary
permanent or steel magnet. 1t is the cleo
tro-magnet that is used in dynamos. Ii the
current or wire is removed from the iron the
magnetic properties will at once disappear.
II the two poles of an electric circuit are
dipped into pail OF water, the water will
be decomposed, and if with our hands we
grasp the two ends of ''live wire, sim
gular sensation will be produced, which we
call an electric shock" That condition
of things existing in wire, therefore, which
will decompose water, make a magnet and
give shock, we call electricity. And that
condition of things which will melt ice we
call heat.
POWER IS NECESSARY.
Electricity, heat, q waterfall, wound-up
spring, gunpowder, wind and compressed
air all represent condition of things called
energy. Each one can be recognized by its
properties and made to do work. 1t Will
now be easy to understand why 1t requires
power to make any change in the condition
OF things. 1t requires power to wind up
spring, to lift weight to compress air or
move train OF cars. And for the same
reason it requires power to change the con-
sdition of wire from that state in which we
call it "dead" to that state in which we call
it ''live," that is, having electric properties.
If we remove the wire from the armature
of a dynamo, it will require very little
power to set the armature in rapid rotation.
But when the wires are on, they cut heavily
through the 'lines OF force" like knife
passing through cheese. And thus the
power or energy Of steam engine is trans
formed into that form OF energy called cleo
tricity. SCIRE FAC1As.

A MUSICAL NOVELTY,
It Is n Sort of Piano. but Viollns and 'CsIlos
Muke the sounds.
Manchester Courier. ]

Manchester Courier.1
A new invention in musical instruments
has been brought out in Austria BY a manu-
facturer living at Pressburg, which is
causing good deal of interest. This is
called bow piano, butts really a case re-
sembling piano-forte frame and containing
violins, 2 violas and 2 violoncellos, the
strings of which are tuned to different notes.
The instruments are connected by circular
bands, which are brought into contact with
the strings bv means OF the keyboard, the
hammers OF which bear upon the bands with
varying pressure.
The instrument is said to produce a fine
tone, so.t or powerful; but the principal
difficulty in bringing it into practical use
would, be the tuniug OF the gut strings re-
quired, as wire strings could not be uniyers-
ally employed, and it is feared it is only
likely to be musical curiosity.

And now we are ready to understand that
electricity is condition Of things and that
it requires power to bring about this condl-
tion. For when the dynamo armature is at
rest, the wires on it are dead" SO to speak,
and just like any other wire. But when
power is applied to put the armature in
rapid rotation, certain condition OF things
is brought about in the wire, which we call
electricity and which magniies itself in
many we'll known ways. 1t is a form o en-
ergy, because it required power to produce
it, and it in turn will reproduce power.
Heat is form OF energy and is therefore
a condition OF things. We cannot readily
see heat nor can we weigh it or touch il.
But we recognize its presence by its proper
ties, as for example, heat will expand air,
melt ice, metals or boil water ard so on.
