HEARTS HUNGER.

Wo let them be just for little while,
We cannot bear to put them yet away

Tho torn hat but worn the other day.
Or the low footstool where our dear ones feet
lInd rested or the fathers easy chair,
7 hat never more Will hold the manly form
We let them stand, the room would look too
bare.
We gaze out in the waning, fading light,
The books and music mock us in the rooms
Oar hearts are with that new made grave In
the night.
IN dark and shadow haunted in the gloom.
God pity those who wait in vain to hear
Tho sound of feet that meier VIII trend again
Or long to kiss white faces hid away,
In their deep beds beneath the snow and rain.
The wind from out the harp of nature chants
4 dirge above them as It passes by;
Tho dead leaves, tears Of autumn, sadly fan
Upon our sleeping ones as still they lie.
OH We who never DER dead loved ones wept,
Who ne'er kissed cold hands and faces white,
And held out empty arms and hearts TO God.
Can never know the pain we feel tonight.

training youngsters to Sling stones.

1t has been said that Asiatic nations
excelled others in the use Of the sling,
and the singers of an ancient army
used their little weapons with terrible
effect. These natives have such skill"
says one old historian, chat it very
rarely happens that they miss their aim.
What makes them so great in the use
Of the sling is the training given them
from their earliest years by their moth
ers, who set up piece of bread hung at
the end Of q rod for a target and let
their children remain without food until
they have hit it, when the child who is
the victor receives the bread as the re-
ward of his skill and patience. "-Har-

Cheap Signs.

A fairly cheap way of advertising
wares by sign is to have the lettering
painted right on the walls of the house.
In some cases we find large raised gold
letters fixed to the house wall. Within
late years a method of afixing white
enamel letters to the window panes has
come much into use. Very often, how
ever, this constitutes not so much a sign
as n partial specification of the wares
for sale within.-New York Times.
