the profit sharing as by the conditions
of the book trade. There has been a
consolidation of nearly all the large pub
fishing houses in the United States,
threatening seriously the interests of
our schools, which has in many instances
obliged the people to look into this mat
ter and see to it that the proposed mo-
nopoly shall not become complete. They
have therefore given us probably larger
share of patronage than would other
wise have come to us, under the strong
belief that the success of their schools
demand of them free competition in the
matter of schoolbooks.-Edwin CHM in

The Indian SiiInm er.

Bright autumn days, the dying years last gift
Like ripe fruit garnered up by careful hands
Oh, stay, nor, like impatient swallows lift
Your wings to bear you to soft southern lands
These fallen leaves tread with scarce pang.
Remembering all their kindly summer
shade
How here the music of the thrushes rang
Though leaves may wither. memories will
not fade.
These rocks, so cold and bare to other eyes,
Are written DER and DER, and as | read
Old scenes, old friends on either hand arise,
And bid me on my onward course godspeed.
For onward still through autumn days toll,
Though storms may break on homesteads
white with snow;
Though wintry Death should lay me in the soil,
My soul, a migrant bird, would heaven
ward go.

Two thousand years ago, when King

eight hours constituted days work

notable fact that this structure-one
of the grandest pieces of architectural
art the world has ever known, one Of
the most intricate structures in its form
and diverse as to material that the III.
genuity of man has ever created--was
erected with the least friction. Not
even the sound of an ak, hammer OF
other metal tool was heard, and yet this
was accomplished under rigid eight
hour law. To how many entered ap-

A Worlds Psychical Congress.

For the first time in history there is to
be worlds psychical congress- Ghostly
visitations, visions, dreams that come
true, presentiments that do or do not
come true, clairvoyance, hypnotism and
thought transference are some of the
matters this unique assembly will dis
cuss, sift and weigh, as though they
were to be tested on the evidence for
and against their reality, just as things
seen and heard by the material eye and
ear are. The congress will meet in Chi
cago during August, 1893. Some of the
most distinguished men and women in
Europe and America will take part in
the deliberations. The chairman of the
American committee of arrangements
is Professor Elliott Coues, of Washing
ton. DR.. Richard Hodgson, of Boston,
secretary of the American Society for
Psychic Research, is vice chairman.
There is also woman's psychical con-
gress committee, composed as follows:
Mrs. Mary G. Bundy, chairman, Chi
cago; Mrs. Eliza Archard Conner, vice
chairman, New York city; Mrs. ]. J.

Down among these canals is St. PAUL..
St. PAUL. is the Bowery of Hamburg.
The concert hall and the beer garden

streets wander about in the most hap

comes upon water. St. PAUL. is called

According to people who know all about
these things, the city of Hamburg con-

surrounded by Notifications, and St.

villages. But Altoona has been left out
in the cold.
The greatest attraction of Hamburg is
the Binen-Alster, which is usually called
the Alster-Bassin by the people of Ham
burg. It is a beautiful sheet of water
of an irregular form and more than a
mile in circumference. It is bounded on
three sides with quays, planted with
trees and fanked with palatial hotels

ber of such thing hap pening before.

Der of such thing opening before.
The city is so old that no one knows
when it began to be. But it is certain
that as early as S11 the big and strong
Charlemagne founded castle at Ham
burg, to which he soon added a church,
presided over by bishop, whose busl'
ness it was to propagate Christianity IN
those northern regions.
The Counts of Holstein, within whose
jurisdiction Hamburg was situated, par
ticularly Adolph Ill. and w., became
great benefactora of the town and Sc
cured for its privileges and munltleS
which formed the foundation OF Its SUI
sequen5 independence.
Hamburg joined the Hanseatic League
at an early period and played a prom.
inen. part in its contest with the Danish
kings in the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries. The city was also honoraD!E
distinguished in the good work OF
sweeping the sea of pirates. Even in those
early days it began to have importance
as a CONNER cial point. The discovery
of America and the sea route to India
had its effect upon Hamburg, but at
that time it did not make much OF a
showing with England and Holland.
In 1929 the citizens adopted the Re
formed faith and established free
political constitution. The Thirty

has 200,0 people. Hamburg is there
fore about the same size as Glasgow and
Liverpool.
Until four or five years ago, Hamburg
was free city. That is, it was one of
the States of the German Federation,
and included small tract of contiguous,
territory. Bismarck made an effort to in
corporate it into Prussia, and finally sue
ceeded in overcoming the opposition Of
the people, who jealously guarded their
freedom aud independence.
One of the chief factors in Hamburgs
development has been the Hamburg
American Steamship Company. It has
built up a tremendous trade and an en-
ormous emigrant traffic. Many railroads;
run into Hamburg from the interior, and
bring thousands Of emigrants. 1t has be-
come the chief embarking point for;
emigrants from Russia and Poland. It
was some of the Russia emigrants who
are supposed to have brought the disease
into Hamburg. Between thirty and
forty. thousand emigrants leave Hamburg
for America every day.

the big twin.screws might make its way
up to the city, but there would be nc
certainty when it would be able to get
out again. So now the twln.screw
steamers land at Cuxhaven, Oh the North

from Hamburg.
There are two rivers about Hamburg.

called the Aus:en-Alster and the Bin

Alsters, which would be called lakes or
ponds in this country, that the fine
hotels, the fine houses and the fine shops
are found. They are beautifully located
1t is the fashionable part of the city.
The little rivers, the Alster and the
Billie, are discharged by locks into the
canals. which are called heetes. These
canals make network of the lower part
of the city. They run off from the Eibs.
There are many of them and on all
merchandise is transported. There is nc
trucking in Hamburg to talk about. The

is placed on large, flat bottomed boats
which are poled about the canals IN
