have found her raey lips,
And her graceful finger tips,
But haw or berry;
Glimmers of her there and here,
just, forsooth. enough TO cheer
Aud TO make me merry.
Often on the ferry rocks
Dazzling dimples of loose locks
Al me she hath shaken,
And I've followed -all in vaini
They had trickled into rain.
Sunlit, on the braken.
Once her full limbs flashed on me.
Naked, where some royal tree
Powdered all the spaces
With wan sunlight and quaint shade
Such haunt romance hath made
For launched satyr races.
There, know, hid amorous Pan;
For a sudden pleading ran
Through the maze of myrtle,
And rapid violence tossed
AL its flowerage-'twas the lost
Cooings of a turtle.

ened voice, with the vernacular of the
east and the west contending for mastery
in his words.
He picked her up, now almost as nerv-
Gus as she had been only few moments
before, and carried her outside.
He looked down upon the stiIl, white
face as the light from the snow shone
upon it, and with great bound in his
heart he stopped and kissed her.
Then how all the little stars did
twinkle, twinkle, and Mary opened her
eyes.
The next moment she was on her feet
and mad
Mary's head was triumphing now.
"Come," she said, ''there's a watch
meeting at the hall, Mr.. Marston, and /
should be there; not here"
with your hand in mine, Mary" he
answered her, standing fast.

rose from their knees with song of re-

"It's funny" said Mrs. Marston a
month later on the local train west,
"that John should have noticed the
chapel door ajar on his way from the

"Yes'm," responded the conductor,
who had known her from childhood,

happened either, is thereS"

There are three books regarded as sa-
cred by Buddhists of Ceylon. The first,
called the Mahavanso, is the most highly
venerated. 1t has been very carefully
handed down from generation to genera
ton, the most ancient copies not vary
ing in the least from those of modern
date. The Mahavanso contains 1.-THE
Doctrine, Race and Lineage of Buddha,"
besides the authentic annals of Ceylon-
ese Buddhism.
Next to the Mahavanso in point of
veneration is the Learned Priests" his
tory of Buddha, called the Rajaratna-
carl. This book also contains extracts
from other antique works, besides q
record of the erection of the various
temples and shrines of the island and
history of the kings from the year 54O
b. G. The third of the Ceylonese sacred
books is called the Rajavali or "Light
Giver;" it is simply modern supple
ment of the other two and brings the
records down to date. The main por-
ton is given up to recording events in
Ceylonese history since the advent of the
the Dutch, especial attention being
given to that portion of the work which
tells of the expulsion of the Portuguese.

MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE.

In the autumnal gloa ing, sad and chill.
The moorland mere in silent slumber lay;
Unruffled were its waters, darkly gray,
And all its sentinel reeds stood stiff and still;
The peewit's Lass good night fell clear and
shrill.
The west was dusky brown with dying day.
When came across the heather far away,
The CLEAN of moonrise DER the distant hill.
Like flame that flashes through the cannon
smoke
A full moon climbed above the swaying frs
The rushes felt that herald breeze Of hers;
They whispered to the water that awoke,
Athwart its face golden ripple broke,
And the queen kissed her nightly worshipers.

About Pronunciation.

The dictionaries are not reason enough
for any ones making himself utterly
singular among his fellows. On the
same principle we in America continue
to say ''skedule" instead of making peo-
pie open their eyes by saying schedule. =
When we are in England we may say
"tong" instead of "tung" for tongue, y
but the wise American will go with all his
countrymen in such a matter when he is
at home. Very few people, either English
or American, ever say "dyuty," soon

undoubtedly the way we ought to pro-

In a street Car.

There was typical bit of life shown
in recent incident in Brooklyn street
car. Two fashionably dressed women,
strangers to each other, and each with
a child on her lap, found themselves
seatmates in crowded car. The hand
some blue eyed boy on one knee soon
fell victim to the coquetries of the
dainty little maiden with golden curls
and soft brown eyes on the other, and
to the mutual satisfaction of the parents
pretty little Irritation went on.
Farther up the car on the other side a
plump, rosy checked miss of two years,
comfortably clad but evidently poor
child, stood against her mother and adj
miringly watched the pair. At certain
street the mother of the boy signaled to
stop. kiss the baby" she said, as she
stood the little fellow on his feet, mean
ing of course Miss Golden Hair, and he
turned to obey.
At that moment. however, the other
little girl, making her way out with her
mother, was exactly abreast of him, and
Master Blue Eyes, finding this little face
before him, promptly bestowed sound
ing, hearty smack upon it. And every
body smiled, while the prince was led
out, the beggar maid wonderiugly went
her way, and the disappointed princess,
who had leaned forward for the royal
salute, buried her face in her mothers
cloak, learning thus early in life the Bit
ter truth that the kiss is not always for
the one who expects it.-Her Point of

to the meeting, so that her absence might
not be observed and commented upon at
the conclusion of the services, when she
heard mans football on the steps out
side.
Her heart beat quick at first, for Mary
had read novels, and she knew that
lovers sometimes came to their sweet
hearts thus; but this was not the fearless
tread of a hero.
1t was stealthy, so stealthy that if her
ear had not been accustomed to every
noise about the familiar old building she
might not have noted it.
1t was burglar, she was certain. af-
ter that first heart thump, for it was
known the communion plate was of sill
yer and worth at least enough TO tempt
rural robber, and everybody knew the
strong box of the chapel was strong
box only in name.
She was frightened nearly out of her
senses, but enough remained to warn
her that her only safety lay in hiding
behind the organ and giving the thief
the right of way to everything in his
path.
Slowly. she heard that dreadful step
slipping along the aisle, creaking as it
-
came. She had to exert every energy of
her will to keep from screaming, and the
slip-slip-creak-- came nearer and
nearer.
At the end of the aisle it stopped, as if
in doubt which way to turn, and her
heart beat slower; then it passed, still
slipping, over to the other corner, and
she gave faint sigh of relief.
She couldn't have prevented it if she
had died for it, she was certain.
On the instant the sickening, awful,
invisible stepping ceased; then it seemed
to turn toward her.
Nearer and nearer it came, until she
could hear the breathing, until the
hands cautiously cropping in the dark
slid along the organ top and touched
her.
She shrank away, but there was
quick start and two great hands clutched
her, and their fingers crawled up to her
throat.
She tried to scream then, but she
could not.
1t was as if she was in frightful
nightmare.
"Hold Onl I've got you, you darned
theft" came voice, suppressed and ter
rible, and with it came tho last remain
ing vestige OF poor Mary's wits.
'Oh, joint" she gasped.
Then she tainted dead away.
"Well, if this don't beat ALL" ex-
claimed the marauder out Of the dark
ness. Then: MARY, MaryF he called,
shaking her vigorously. Scared the
poor girl to death, I'll bet corner lot"

was at this very moment trying TO settle
their last contention.
Watch night came. and every body was
there except John Marston.
'Train delayed" they said at the rail
way station, and you know how much
further information is always obtaina-
bic under such circumstances from rail-
way officials.
As the night wore on and the watchers
grew more silent, the solemnity of the
hour seeming to descend upon the place
as a great weight Mary could endure
it no longer. Quietly and unobserved
she slipped out into the open air.
II was relief to her, and she walked
away into the stiffness under the voice
less stars, over the crisp and crystal
snow, until she came to the little chapel
at the edge of the town where on Sun
days she played the organ for the choir.
Unconsciously she turned into the
churchyard.
She knew where the sexton kept the
key under a corner of the step, and
opening the door, she passed in and down
the aisle to her accustomed place.
The chapel was not cold, for services
had been held there earlier in the even
ing. but she drew her heavy cloak about
her shoulders with little shiyer and sat
down on the organ stool.
But not with music or song in her
heart.
She had waited for John and he had
not come.
She had longsd for him and there was
no response.
She had wept for him, down there
among the watchers, and she was angry
with herself.
But here. alone in the silent darkness,
she bowed her head upon her hands and
prayed.
Prayed that he might come safely
home; prayed for him and for her
Evidently Mary's heart was triumph
ing over her head, but the end was not
yet.

why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables
Meat is a manufactured product fol
which large amount of raw material is
required. The manufacture of meat is
process of Transforming the vegetable
protein. fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding of animals
it takes number of pounds of hay or
corn to make pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he can and still
he must consume a large quantity of
soil product to produce small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
costlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation of the
fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the well to do,
while the poor live almost entirely On
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat little meat, and in India
and China they have none at all. 1t is
hard enough for them to get the nutri-
ment they need in vegetable forms.
Meats they cannot afford.-ProfessOr At
water in Century.

silk weaving by EIectriclty.

An interesting trial has been made in
Germany with silk weavers' looms
worked by electricity. BY "a cable of
100 feet in length, one horse power
electric shunt motor, with 100 volts and
four amperes, was put in motion, and
the transmission for the weavers' looms
was restricted by a communication 10
seventy-two revolutions. Two weavers'
looms were put in motion, the result be-
ing that the working by electricity was
more satisfactory than that by means of
caloric engines or gas motors, and the
swinging masses, otherwise necessary
for the working on small scale, can be
dispensed with. The German papers
think the results named show that house
industry could easily be made to flourish
oy the transmission of electric power,
and this all the more as electricity can
be transmitted equally well under any
