glass
That sloping roof Of shingles, with Its messy
coat OF gray.
Which formed the playground for our fun on
many summer day
1t was built Just by the orchard, and the caves
dropped down so low
That they almost touched the grass-tops, where
the daisy blossoms blow;
And an apple-tree was growing whore you came
down with n whirl
To yield spicy luncheon to each hungry boy
and girl
Obi better than the coastins on big tobossan-
slide
Was the ecstasy of sitting on that barn roof for
ridel
After crawling slowly upward to the sharply
pointed peak
To hold on-by the edges-while you play ct hide
and seek
And thon-with fun and frolio--as you loosed
your wary clasp
To feel the sliding-s liding--and To give hap
py gasp,
As you found yourself drawn downward with
increasing motion bound,
For rapid roll through clover on the softly
waiting ground.

MIsiakes OF Missionaries.

Come behind the curtain with me while
] whisper into your ear few of the mis-
takes made by missionaries, who talk SO
much about the mistakes Of the heather.
One evening an English missionary in
Peking took friend who was visiting
him TO regular Chinese theater. 1t
happened that the play for that evening
was a burlesque on foreign preaching.
A Chinaman dressed up to represent a
foreigner came upon the stage with his
arms full of books, attended by his Chi
nese servant He began to preach amock
sermon, making the mistakes in talking
which q foreigner is likely to make.
These mistakes were received with bursts
of laughter from the audience, to whom
the books wore distributed. The fun
came to a climax when the preacher,
after delivering a sentence particularly
full of laughable mistakes, turned to his
servant and said "How did l speak?
Did l do pretty welli" and the servant
replied with great gravity: "The foreign
teacher speaks the Chinese language ex-
ceedingly well. No mistakes at all were
made. New York Independent.

An Invention For Steamships.

An English mechanical genius has de-
vised method of indicating and stop
ping leak by the use of compressed air.
He divides a ship into alright compart-
ments, fitted with doors provided with
packing material and connected by tubes
with a room on deck called the Switch
room" In this room is a junction chest
supplied with compressed air from fixed
or portable compressors and so arranged
that the air can be delivered to any Of
the compartments. Other tubes lead
from the compartment from which wa
ter san be forced out when required, and
electric indicators are also connected
with the switch room to indicate the ac-
emulation of water in any of the com
partments. Should the vessel Spring a

partment is affected, 80 that the COM
