A Day Dream.

Are you thinking Of ME, dear one
Can just one stray thought claim
From the one who cen in abs nee
Doth my wandering thought enohAinl
As watch the rain drops falling
lin the interim st noon,
Can l helpit If in fancy
One loved voice sounds through the room7
Can help II If my spirit
Bounds with pleasure at the word;
No, not word-initial only.
Aud in fancy only, heard1
Can check the eager longing
For that presence ever dear;
Can crush at once the blossom
have cherished year by year,
Cherished ere its tiny petals
Knew name-or shape assumed,
Ere loves golden summer sunshine
In its heart 70 rest-presumed.
Is It sinful II floweret
Bring neither sweet nor rare,
Love the light although it's shining
Upon blossoms Tar more fair2
Is itsiniul to acknowledge
The power Of the sun
As 1t nestles in the petals
And unfolds them one by ouef
The flower loves the gentle warmth,
Nor seeks its love to hide,
And I have learned the preoept
Aud shall therein abide.
And when the rain is over
l shall listen for the voice
Which thrills my soul with pleasure.
And makes my heart rejoice.

To the english Duchess"
The night has past with its wOful gloom.
Aud the brightest dawn appears,
In the dark recesses Of my heart
Where no light has shown for years
OH can IL be that a friend remains
Who would whfspe sweet and low.
A gentle VOID to gloomy youth,
And light on his path bestow?
On the mystical height of sweet delight
stand to the wide worlds view.
And seek for one on this mundane sphere,
With nd heart tried and true.

For the wondrous cup of gold.

Good teeth and a sweet breath are
within the reach OF most every me.
There is no surer way to destroy tho
teeth than by the want Of brushing or
rinsing after eating fruit. In California,
where fruit OF all kind is so cheap for
ten months in the year as to be within
the reach Of almost the poorest, beauti-
full teeth are rarely found, while 1t is a
very common thing to see even young
women with false teeth. Excess in the
use OF fruit sometimes produces undue
acidity OF the stomach, which also
reacts on the toeth.
Six ounces OF rose watcr mixed with
two drains Of chlorate OF potash is M
excellent purifier OF the breath. Rinse
the mouth after each meal. For acidi-
ty OF the stomach, which produces bad
breath, use u solution OF a t%easpoonful
Of baking soda and half as much salt
in q glass OF water. Drink q little Of
this and rinse the mouth also.
A box OF the very finest powdered
charcoal, which can only be obtained
at q drug store, should always be at
hand. Give tho teeth an occasional
brushing with it or rub a little between
the interstices Of the teeth at night,
brushing it out in the morning.

tirly, accede to the wishes OF those in
whose company you are, letting your
sell, plans and purposes be merged into
theirs.
This may sound like hard medicine,
but it is not when once you get used to
it, and you will lind, perhaps, that in
their methods there is more novelty
and pleasure than in the schedule you
had laid out TO follow by yourself
Nowhere does a good disposition
count for so much as in q long journey.
Beauty succumbs to cinders and the
dust OF travel, but an even temper and
gentle anner rise above such petty
details, and, though you may be posi-
lively plain in a drawing room, you will
appear a raving beauty on board a train
crowded with iretful, peoyish human

Of course every ope expects to do
more or less travelling during the sum,

our life that we should as soon as warm
weather comes around pack up our
traps and start off on some trip that
will make us long for and appreciate
our homes many times during our alb
ence. The comforts that We leave be-
hind we will sadly misa, but in travel
ing we must bear in mind that we can
not have everything to suit ourselves,
and remember that in giving in to
others We are in the end doing the very
beat thing to further our own pleasure.

THE LoNGEsr HALFWAY.
The Cars Great Project for steam Travel
Across Siberia.

Across Siberia.
The proposed trans-siberian railway,
which will he the longest in the world,
is fully described in the Engineering
Maga;ine by Frederick Hobart, who
has used freely materials furnished by
the Russiap engineers employed on tho
work.
AS to the commercial importance OF
tho Siberian railway, he writes, there
may be different opinions. The steppes
OF western Siberia are susceptibility OF
settlement and cultivation, and may
add q considerable area to tho wheat
fields which compete with those OF
America. Tho river valleys OF the
Amoor region was also capable of'culti-
walton and may in time support O large
population, while tho Oussouri country
is known to BIO rich in coal and iron.
The long stretch OF over 1900 miles
from Tomsk to tho headwatera OF the
Amoor, however, can never have much
local traffic. Tho climate and soil alike
forbid settlement, and u small business
in horses and cattle from the nomad
herds and in lumber from the forests OF
the Irish will be the most that can be
expected. Through commercial traffic
to the Pacific cannot DO large, though
the Chinese trade will be. AN item Of
considerable Importance. With all
allowances for growth, however, it is
saie to say that, il the road is regarded
simply US an investment for capital, its
commercial prospects would not war
rant its construction for many years to
come.
The main purpose OF the line is not
commercial, however, but military and
political. Tho trans Caspian railway
has consolidated and mado permanent
the Russian power in central Asia, and
its extension to Khokand and Tashkend,
now we'll under way, will make an ex-
cellent supply line for az army invad-
ing China from tho west. The Siberian
line on the other side will BIO q base line
Tor operations from the north and east,
and the ancient empire will be placed
ut a serious disadvantage. The shrewd-
est OF the Chinese statesmen are aware
Of this, and their efforts to strengthen
their northern frontier are in contrast
to tho s%upineness OF the English, who
seem now, as usual, to rely altogether
on their naval force to check the de-
signs of their great rival in the east.
It 10 undoubtedly n perception OF
these possibilities which has mado tho
project n favorite one in the imperial
circle, and brought aboutthe conditions
necessary to secure its early execution.
The official order calls for the compile
ton of tho entire road in 1904; aud
while it seems hardly possible that the
work can be completed in ten years

doubt that the opening decade of the
twentieth century will see the compile.

An Engineer Whose Boiler Did Not Need
Iuspecting-How They Cooled Hin o.
w. Il Ruogis. N. E., in he SGlay PaIs
A boiler inspector Of M OF the large
boiler insurance companies called at u
plant in New York city u short time
ago for the purpose OF making an inter
nal inspection OF a large horizontal
tubular boiler, The engineer assured
the inspector there was no need OF eS.
aiming his boiler, as it was clean and
in perfect condition. The inspector,
however, wished to verify that state
mont and continued his inspection.
After looking over the boiler externally
he dropped down through the manhole
in top OF dome, and there discovered
five broken braces on one head and
three on the other, In addition to that
the boiler was so dirty that the spaces
between the tubea were almost entirely
filed with scale. The engineer was
waiting anXiously at the manhole, and
when the inspector appeared and told
him the condition OF things, he lnsisted
on getting in the boiler himself. That
was not go easy az he anticipated, but
his own weight, aided by the inspector
pulling on his leg, finally accomplished
it.
The boiler was rather hot, but he
had not been in it more than u minute
before he concluded he'd had enough,
and started for the manhole. But the
inspector, not caring to be caught in a
hot boiler with the only air hole
plugged with 200 pounds Of fat, told
him to wait and he would show him
Just how to get out. Which no did
But in vain, for after many frantic
efforts, which only made him hotter
and bigger, he got scared, and began to
yell that he was dying, aud gave up tho
attempt, Several men gathered around
offering advice and assistance, but to no
effect. Finally, after half an hour OF
encouragement on one side and despair
on the other, he consented TO nndreSs
and sit under the manhole, while those
outside turned the hose OF him for five
minutes, which succeeded in cooling
him of sufficiently both mentally and
physically to allow him to rlse out OF
the boiler like Venus from the sea.
