WARFARE OF THE FUTURE.

Graphic Description of Il Battle Scene
Which May Soon BE Presented.
The assailants fall fast as their adj
vance pushes forward, combed down by
the rifle fire, the mitraille and the shrap-
mel of the defense. But they are gal
liant men, and while life lasts they will
not be denied. The long, bloody ad-
vance is all but over; the survivors OF
it who have attained thus far are lying
down getting their wind for the final
concentration and rush. Meanwhile,
since after they once again stand uE
they will use no more rifle fire till they
have conquered or beaten, they are
pouring forth against the defense their
reserve of bullets in or attached to their
rifle butts. The defenders take this
punishment, like Col Quagg, lying
down, counting the protection of the
earthbani. The hail of the assailants
bullets ceases; already the artillery OF
the attack has desisted lest it should
iniure friend as foe. The word runs
along the line and the clumps of men
lying PROSTATE there out in the open.
The officers spring to their feet, wave
their swords and cheer loudly The
men are up in an instant, and the swift
rush focusing toward point begins.
The distance to be traversed before the
attackers are aux prises with the de-
tenders is about one hundred and fifty
yards.
1t is no mere storm of missiles which
meets fair in the face those charging
heroes; no, it is moving wall of metal
against which they run to their ruin.
For the infantry of the defense are
emptying their magazines now at point
blank range. Emptied magazine yields
to full one; the Maxims are pumping
not bullets, but veritable chains of
lead, with calm, devilish swiftness.
The quick-firing guns are spouting
radiating torrents of case. The at
tackers are mown down as corn falls,
not before the sickle, but the scythe
Not a man has reached, or can reach,
the little earthbank behind which the
defenders keep their ground. The at
tack has failed, and failed from no lack
of valor, of methodized effort, of pune
| tilious compliance with every instruc-
tion; but simply because the defense

has been too strong for the attack. One

how, in the very nick of time, the pass

A Cool store Closet.

There is no greater desidcratum in
the kitchen than properly ventilated
store closet, arranged with shelves for
food, movable racks on the floor for
barrels and other arrangements to keep
food in the most wholesome manner.
A simple device where the store closet
opens out of the kitchen and is on the
sunny side of the house is to have hole
cut in the floor, covered over with wire
netting, so as to let the cool air of the
cellar into the closet This cool air
coming in contact with the warmer air
OF the kitchen makes a constant circula-
tion. A properly built store closet,
however, should be situated on the
north side of the house, and well ven
lilated by window opening outdoors.

A CIRCUIT OF AMERICA.
The Striking Tale of Il Western Union Tele
graph Operator.

The Striking Tale of "A Western Union Tele-
graph Operator.
The going down of the Western Union
wires one night drove one of the nervous
gentlemen who taps an instrument in
that Office into reminiscent mood.
The telegraph man found the gentle
man in question in the rear Office with
his feet resting upon the "quad'' and
his pipe in his mouth waiting for the
re-establishment of electric commune
cation with the outer world.
'"This wire going down tonight,
boys" he said, reminds me of an ex-
perience chat l had in Portland one
night three years ago last winter which
is perhaps the rarest I ever had in my
twenty years at the instrument. 1t was
that working on probably the largest
circuit ever operated at one time in the
United States. The weather was stormy,
and early in the evening the wires on
the Southern Pacific went down just
east of Deming, N. M.
THAT was already bad enough, but
the situation grew alarming, when, at
9 o'clock, Omaha reported All commu-
nication with the east shut Off. Then
l knew we were in for it, for not line
of the night Associated Press was in
and we had only the wires on the
Northern Pacific to work on. Time was
limited and we had to get the report
through to every town in the west.
This is how it was worked: Chicago
connected with st. Paul. and ST. Paul
with Helena. From the latter place
connection was made with Butte, Ogden,
Omaha and Cheyenne, and from Ogden
to Deming way to the south.
From Helena connection was made
with Portland, from that point with
Seattle, Tacoma and New Westminster
to the north, and San Francisco, Sacra-
mento and Los Angeles to the south.
One man rushed that report out of Chi
cago and we all took il from him. 1t
was repeated at relays automatically.
/ don't know how far that business
travelled in miles, but | know it was
flashed from the extreme north of the
United States to the extreme south and
from the lar east to the shores of the
Pacific, besides chasing off at cat-a-
corners at dozen different points

VENICE AND ITS PEOPLE.
Devotion of the Venetians to Their Re.
vered City.


vered City.
AS the patriotic Briton aspires to n
monument in Westminster Abbey, and
the Florentine to Santa Croce, so the
Venetian artist coveted for his works a
place in the palace of the Doges. That
was his Temple of Fame. His dream,
however, scared beyond the qualification
of personal ambition; he desired that
through him the glory and beauty of
Venice might be enhanced and immor-
talized. This devotion to the ideal of
city, this true patriotism, has, unfortu-
nately, almost disappeared from the
earth. The very conception of it is now
unintelligible to most persons The city
where you live-New York, Boston,
London-you value in proportion as it
affords advantages for your business,
objects for your comfort and amuse
ment; but you quit it without compunc-
tion if taxes be lower and trade brislcer
elsewhere. You are interested in its
affairs just in so far as they affect your
own. When you build dwelling or a
factory, you do not inquire whether it
will improve or injure your neighbours
property, much less whether it will be
an ornament to the city; you need not
even abate nuisance until compelled
to do so by the law.
But to the undetermined Venetian his
city was not merely convenience; it
was personality. Venizia was spir-
itual patroness, goddess who presided
over the destiny of the state; he an d
every one of his fellow-citizens shared
the honor and blessing of her protec-
tion. She had crowned with prosperity
the energy and piety, the rectitude and
justice, of his ancestors through many
centuries. Every act of his had more
than personal, more even than a
human bearing. Hoo a00uLd 1t affect herr
that was his test. He could do moth
ing unto himself alone; for good or for
i'll, what he did reacted upon the COM
munity, upon the ideal Venezia. The
outward city-the churches, palaces and
| dwellings - was but the garment and
visible expression of that ideal city
Venezia had blessed him, and he was
| grateful; she was beautiful, and he
| loved her. His gratitude impelled him
| to deeds worthy Of her protection; hi;
love blossomed in gifts that should in
crease her beauty
This reverence and devotion have, M
| remarked, vanished from among men
yet in this ideal beams the conception OF
the true commonwealth. Observe that
those three cities which held such an
ideal before them have bequeathed te
us the most precious works of beauSy.

not only for the fact that she produced
many of the strongest and sweetest

not until three score years of life were
rounded out did she take up her pen for
professional purposes. BY the loss OF
her husbands fortune she was forced
to write for the sake of monetary re-

MORAL MAGIC.

Think often Of mems worthy ways,
Speak rarely OF their bad ones;
Sing freely OF your happy days,
Keep silent OF your sad ones.
1t IS not right to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake IT.
Pure happiness is standing by
Our life is what we make 1t.
Look on the nobler side of each,
Still trusting firmly in it;
A prize there is within your reach
II you but try TO win II.
Why let o chain hold you in pain,
When you with ease can break i'll
See in your hand the magic wand
This life Is what we make il.
Lift mp your eyes when you are sad,
Your lonesome heart. strings aching;
Behold, the world at heart is glad,
In smiles at all points breaking.
Fresh streams Of bliss are ever flowing;
Deny your thirst or slake it,
Both here and there whore you are going,
Your life is what you mako it.
The deeds we do or leave undone
Make sweet or nauseating
Both what we meet beneath the sun
And states beyond it waiting;
And let kind fates the soul compose
Or cruel fortune shake it,
Through all the way true insight shows
That life is what we make it.
The strongest magic in the world
Consists of shared emotion;
Beneath this flag aloft unfurled
All sparllles like an ocean.
The heart may brood alone in blight
Till dead disgust doth cake it;
A friend draws near with love and light
And life is what these make it.
Then praise to those whose cheerful heart!
Shed hope and JOY about them;
At each dear name the courage starts
We had not known without them.
Our earth should be happy spot
To all who may partake it,
The faults their own If 1t is not;
For life is what we make it,
