BETWEEN THE GATES,

Between the gates of birth and death
An old and sanity pilgrim passed,
With look Of one who witnesseth
The long-sought goal at last.
20 thouw whose reverent feet have found
The Masters footprints in thy way,
And walked thereon as holy ground,
A boon of thee pray.
my lack would borrow thy excess,
My feeble faith the strength Of thine;
need thy souls white saintliness
To hide the stains of mine.
The grace and favor else denied
May well be granted for thy sake"
So, tempted, doubling, sorely tried,
A younger pilgrim spake.
THY prayer, my son, transconds my gift
Nopower is mine, )" the sage replied,
"The burden Of n soul to lift,
Or stain of sin TO hide.
"Howe'er the outward life may seem,
For pardoning grace we all must pray:
No man his brother can redeem
Or souls ransom pay.
mot always age is growth of good;
Its years have losses with tLeir gain;
Against some evil youth withstood
Its hands may strive in vain.
with deeper voice than any speech
OF mortal lips from man to man,
What carth's unwisdom may not teach
The Spirit only can.
MAKE thou that holy Guide thine owu,
And, following where it leads the way,
The known shall lapse in the unknown
AS twilight into day.
"The best of earth shall still remain,
Aud Heavens eternal years shall prove
That life and death. and joy and pain
Are ministers of Love"
JOHN G. Whittier, in the Independent.

Two new Atlantic liners, to be 600
feet long and faster than anything aaoat
are guaranteed by the builders to be
ready for sea early in the spring of 1898.
They will be almost as long as the Great
Eastern, though not nearly so wide.
They will have quite as much engine
pSwer as that unfortunate steamship had,
but>jt will be so compact and econo,
mized ACt it will not occupy one-third

There has lately been organized in
England rent guarantee company, the
business of which is to insure landlords
against loss by bad tenants. In order to
reduce its risk to minimum it makes {
business of keeping landlords informed
as to the standing of tenants, and for c
consideration they are supplied with in,
formation which often enables them tc
keep undesirable tenants out of theiI
houses.

In no other department of the World 5
Columbian Exposition, perhaps, will be
seen agreater diversity of exhibits than
in that of mines and mining. Not only
will there be dazzling array of dia-
monds, opals, emeralds and other gems,
and of the precious metals, but most ex-
tensive collection of iron, copper, lead,
other ores, and of their product; of coal,
granite, marble, sandstone and other
building stone; of soils, salt, petroleum,
and, indeed, of almost everything, use
full or beautiful, belonging to the mineral
kingdom. How extensive the mineral
exhibit from other countries will be, it is
yet too early to know, but the indica-
tions are that it will surpass any that has
heretofore been made. However that
may be, there is no doubt that the mineral
resources and products, not only of this
country as a whole, but of each State and
section, win be of the most complete ana
representative description. Chief Skiff,
of the Department of Mines aud Mining,
is confident that this will be the re.
suit Of the plans which he IS pursuing.

1t is difficult to estimate, confesses the
New York Ne,0s, the amount of money
that has been left in Europe this year by
American tourists. Taking all the ex.
penses into consideration, however, the
passages out and home aud the average
sum disbursed on the other side, the
aggregate cannot be far from S75, 200, =
900. All of this has to be paid
out of the products of labor in this coun.
ry,and if it is not returned in the shape
of the gold paid for our wheat, petrole-
um and other articles, it will represent
the cost paid by this country for the
pleasure of its citizens abroad.

DOWN THE STREAM.

Jovel 1t began with a glance,
Grew with the growing of flowers.
Smiled in a dreamful trance,
Reckoned not the passage Of hours;
Our passions food rose ever,
Flowing for her and me,
Till the brook became river,
And the river became a sea.
Grief 1t began with word,
Grew with the winds that raved;
A prayer for pardon unheard,
Pardon in turn uncravel;
The bridge so easy to sever.
The stream 50 swift to be free,
Till the brook became a river,
And the river became a sea.
Life? 1t tegan with a sigh,
Grew with the leaves that are dead;
Its pleasures with wings to fly,
Its sorrows with limbs Of lead;
And rest remaineth never
For the wearier years to be,
Til the brook shall become a river,
And the river become sea.

AsIatle Pheasants In OREGON.

II is said that the Asiatio pheasants
that were imported and set free in the
forests of Oregon some years ago, have
fully justified the hopes of their impor-
tiers by the rapidity with which they have
multiplied where they have not been mo-
Tested by hunters. These birds are of
very gorgeous plumage, and are excellent
game fowls, being strong and hardy, Of
large size aud very good eating. Strin.
gent laws have been passed to protect
them from pot hunters. --Pieaguae,

Aldermen as q Board of Directors.

1t would clear away much ~misconcep-
ton if the popular body in cities, instead
of being spoken Of and thought of as a
local legislature, could be looked upon
and considered as a board Of directors.
Oneof the most important grants where
in the powers of such a body in cities
seem to pass beyond the functions of a
board of directors is the right to adopt
ordinances which are enforced by the
police; but even as to this power it is to
lie borne in mind that city ordinances
have no original authority They are
constantly declared invalid by the courts
because they contravene statutes of the
Legislature or deal with matters not COW
cred by the grant of power to the city
corporation. The differences to be drawn
from this discussion are two. First,
that the whole question as to what
ought to be the business Of the city and
as to the best method Of conducting this
business is fairly open to discussion; sec
ond, that the question is one involving
good judgment only. 1t does not in
volve the liberties of the people or touch
any of the inherent rights Of citizenship.

We all know how TO talk. There is a
certain number Of words put OF the
tongue of every human being, just as
the song is given to the canary bird or to
the robin. But beyond the song these
birds cannot go. And beyond the natu-
raj speech, or the words that nature
gives to every one, the illiterate human
being cannot go. His vocabulary is linn
tied until he becomes a student. Then
he begins to widen and there is no near
boundary line to its possibilities. The
writer who imagines that he a give
additional emphasis too composition by
the use of large words is greatly mistak-
en-. The economy of the readers atten-
ton is absorbed in understanding and
applying these big words, and there is
little of the mental energy left with
which to digest the idea that these long
words contain. The picture that is
brought before his mental vision is there
fore dim and uncertain.
If the writer would give more promi-
hence to the idea and less to the verbal
frame; IN other words, if he would use
simple language which by contrast
would bring out the idea, he would not
only economize his readers mental ener-
but would benefit himself by max
ing himself more easily understood. The
mind is not able to do more than one
thing at a time and do it well. 1t can
not at once delve into the mysteries of a
many syllable word and comprehend the
thought in a proper manner.-Chicago

The Elephants Memory.

The elephant has an excellent memory.
1t ~recollects friends well and it rarely
forSets an injury. 1t is recorded of one
that it smashed a cocoanut upon its
drivers head and smashed the mans
head at the same time, because the lazy,
thoughtless fellow had broken Il cocoanut
on its skull the day before. \ quarter
master engaged in experimenting the
removal of baggage in the camp by
means of al elephant, became angry at
the creatures refusing to carry more
than a certain weight and foolishly flung
a ten peg at its head. Some days after
ward the elephant overlook the quarter
master as he was going through the
camp, seized him with its trunk and
neatly placed him among the branches
of d tamarind tree, leaving him to reach
the ground again in the best way he
could.-New York Advertiser.

The Cobra and the Empty Can.


The terrible cobra de capello, which is
feared and venerated in India as a snake
god, is occasionally caught mapping when
he has encroached on the territory Of
others.
A resident in India says that he was
one day much astonished by hearing a
succession of reports, like the firing of re-
volver, which issued from the "godown,"
or storeroom. AS he opened the door a
strange sight met his gaze. A cobra had
managed to get into the oom and had
been attracted by an empty biscuit tin
in American %parlance a tin cracker box
about 10 by 6, in which some crumbs
were still remaining.
The cover had not been well opened,
and the edges were jagged. The cobra
had pressed his head inside to lick up
the crumbs, but he could not get it out
again. The more he tried, the more diff
cult did it become.
In his rage his hood expanded and was
lacerated by the sharp edges Of the tin,
AMI upon this he began to lash about
with his tail. Pop, pop, went bottles of
champagne and beer; these were the re-
ports which had been heard within, and
they had given the signal which brought
his executioners to the spot.-Youth's
Companion.

The Flight of the Stork.

The stork is a remarkably picturesque
bird; its snowy body contrasting with
the bright red beak and legs and black
quill feathers of the wings, make. 1t a
striking object. The flight is magnif-
cent, holder and more buoyant than that
of a heron. Like most large birds, its
powers of fight show best when it is at
a great height. When we were on the
Bastei rock, in Saxon Switzerland, a pair
passed overhead, flying southwark.
Though high above rs. we could clearly
see the black pinion feathers; and as we
watched the powerful beat of the wide
spreading wings we thought Of the
angels III Zachariah's vision who had
wings like the stork. "-Chambers' Jour

a word ABOUT Dress Goods and
What Is to Be Worn.

It is safe to say that Dress Goods
is a subject that is now agitating the
minds Of the trading public in view
Of the approaching autumn season.
Doubtless many are pcrusing the
leading fashion magazines and &C
quainting themselves with the best
information as to what will be worn,
the cost Of the goods, etc, so that
good taste and economy will be hap.
PLY blended. Adaptability is one OF
the prerequisites ofdress. Ofcourse
what would suit one lady would not
suit another. This idea has been
fully carried out in the selection 0!

tember 21, and see if the correct

The Right Arm and Left Foot.

The right arm is always a little larger
than the left, but the left foot is almost
always larger than the right, presumably
because, while nearly every man uses
his right arm to lift a weight or strike a
blow, he almost invariably kicks with
his left foot, while the lounger stands on
his left leg and lets his right fall easily,
because he has learned by experience
that this is the best attitude he can as
sumo to prevent lassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than the
right, and it often happens that a man
who tries on a shoe on the right foot and
gets Il close fit has to discard the shoes
altogether because he cannot endure the
pain caused by the tightness Of the left.
If when riding on the street car you will
take the trouble to notice, you will see
that in laced shoes the gap is much
smaller on the right foot than on the left,
while with button shoes the buttons
have to be set back ten times on the left
shoe to nee on the right.-St. Louis

Rome No Larger Than Brooklyn.

The exaggerations of Vossius, Lipsius
and Chateaubriant, who give to imperial
Rome H. 00, 900, 5,OOO,O 900 and 3,O00,0 900
Of inhabitants are too absurd to deserve
notice. Hume, who, in his mastery es-
say on the "Populousness of Ancient
Nations" has discussed the question of
the population Of Rome with his usual
learning and good sense, arrives at the
conclusion that Rome, when at her
zenith, might have been as ~populous as
London in 1860; in other words, that she
might have had from 700, eco to 500, 600
inhabitants. Gibbon estimated the popu-
lation at 1900, coo, but it would appear
that the more moderate estimate Of
Hume is the more accurate. The popu-
Iation of Rome at its largest, therefore,
did not exceed that of Brooklyn in 1891.
