The Freneh national prIntIng WORK,

The French National Printing Works.
The French national printing works
date from the year 1910, and owe their
origin to Louis XIII, who established
them under the title Imprimerie royale.
The works were suppressed at the begin
ming of the revolution and reorganized
in the Year IL The state printing office
has had many homes. 1t is now in the
former abode Of the princely house of
Rohan, in the Rue vieille du Temple,
which still retains traces Of its former
splendor.
Besides executing all the printing of
the ministries and other public bodies,
the presses of the Imprimerie rationale
are at the service of all private individ-
uais who require in their works types
impossible to procure elsewhere. The
collection at the Hotel de Rohan is
unique and contains 200 varieties. 1t

THE SLEEPING SEA.

Far away ships are sailing
Far and faint and dim
CLEANS of white, or glints of light,
On the vague horizons rim.
And the ocean. only varied
Where the breakers cry
From the strand Of cleaning sand,
Stretches level to the sky.
Cloudless azure heavens bending
Ger the sleeping sea-
Pulsing heat about her feet
Where can peril be2
Can 1t be that tempests gather,
Strong winds lash the deep?
Tossed in pain the tall ships strain,
Maddened pillows shoreward leapf
Trust the lion, trust the serpent
When he sleeping lies;
Trust thy hands to flaming brands
Trust not tickle seas and skies.

The Barn owl.

How soft is the plumage of the owl,
and how noiseless her flight. Watch her
as she floats past the ivy tod, down by
the ricks and silently over the old wood;
then away over the meadows, through
the open door and out of the loophole of
the barn; round the lichened tower and
along the course of the brook. Presently
she returns to her four downy young
with mouse in one claw and a vole in
the other, soon to be ripped up, torn and
eaten by the greedy, swapping imps.
Young and eggs are not unfrequently
found in the same nest.
If you would see the midday siesta of
these birds climb up into the haymow.
There, in an angle of the beam, you will
see their owlships snoring and blinking
wide their great round eyes. Their duet
is the most unearthly, ridiculous, grave
noise conceivable; unlike anything you
ever heard. There they will stay all day,
digesting the mice with which they have
gorged themselves until twilight, when
they again issue forth upon their mad
cap revels.
This clever mouser has q strong claim
to our protection; SO let not idle super
stition further its destruction. Man

length. but all these matters Will come Ue-

excellent lunch was served.

entered tnelr vehicles and drove over to

from being made.

up the can. and on examining II discovered
that ii was more than half filled with giant

sufficient if exploded TO have blown the
