THE EGYpTTAN ORELISKS

The obelisks of the Pharaohs were
cut from red syenite, a rock often mis-
called granite. In the quarries of
Syene, according to the writer of
"Cleopatra's Needle" may be seen an
unfinished obelisk,, adhering to the
native rocks, and still clearly show
ing traces OF the workmen's tools and
the method employed in separating
these immense monoliths. The edge
of the block is marked by a sharply
cut groove, containing holes evidently
bored for wooden wedges. In COM
pleting the operation the wedges were
firmly driven into place, and the
groove was filled with water, when
the swelling of the wood split the rock
throughout the length of the groove.
The block was afterwards slid on roll
lers to the edge of the Nile. Here a
large raft was built about it, and at
the next inundation the finished stone
was fioated down to where it was to be
erected, and was pushed by thousands
of hands ON rollers up an inclined
! plan to be pedestal prepared for it.

Bishop Wurtzburg, a noted clergy

During my second year at the JEFF

GOOD ADVICE THROWN AWAY.

A Berlin judge the other day, when
addressing locksmith who appear
ed as a witness, spoke as follows :"I
should have thought you would dis
suade your workmen from going to
law for such trifie."

said, Children, said I, the clerk at

THE SMELL OF THE SEA.

"The odor of the seattle wild, salt
tang, from wild swept spaces blown"
what freedom is in its breath "Sea
folk and, therefore, free folk" are
they who breathe it /! Not all the
sweets of summer roses stepped in
sunshine can lull the inconsistencies of
sea folk long banished from sea smell
and when at last their strong, free
gladness again salutes the sense it is
as though a barrier falls, and the
heart finds home. So with the pine
smell to the mountaineer. Damp,
wood smoke, dripping underground
and rotting pine cones. That is
the true smell of the hills, and II it
once gets into the blood of man he
will at last, forgetting everything
else, return to the hills to die"

Ny Care
Goes with me everywhere.
The broken light upon the sea,
The star-lamps shining lustrously.
Gods great wide world of field and moor,
The lofty cliffs that guard the shore
turn from all to meet the face
Of one who shows me little grace.
For Care
Is with me everywhere.
And Pain
A guest that will remain,
Sits with me in the house at night,
And comes to me with the morning light,
Making home within my breast,
And stays my work and breaks my rest,
And makes me weary vigils keep,
Nor lets me for my sowing reap.
For Pain
Sleeps but to wake again.
But Hope
Helps me with these to cope,
And CHEEKY comrades, fair to see,
And strong to comfort, live with me:
Faith bears me upward on its wing,
And sings to me until l sing;
Peace touches me with tender grace
And bids Pain take lower place;
While Love
Stays on, and will not move.
And One
Whose light is as the sun,
Whose pity never comes too late,
Whose pardon like himself is great,
Knows me unworthy, yet no less
fingers in his sweet gentleneSs;
Jesus, my Saviour, takes my Care,
And he is with me everywhere.
For He
In life and death abides with me.

AMONG THE ROSES.

Bags full of roses, baskets heavy
with roses, carts laden with roses; ros-
es, roses, a feast of roses, a surfeit of
roses, if that is possible. The women
stick roses in their long, braided hair
the men in their belts, the children
pull them and leave them on the road
to die.
There is roseleaf jam to eat-very
sweet and fresh it is-and there is
roseleaf strip to drink. Every vase
and vessel is full of roses; they drop
on you from unexpected places; great
punches of bright pink heads lying
on the ground admonish you as you
walk; you can make a bed of them if
you will; go to the G, anary-rosary, l
suppose it should be called and there
you will find as soft and sweet a couch

CRITICISM OF JURY.

Some years ago in Lockport, n. Y,
in the supreme court, one day when
Judge Barker was presiding, one jury
man was absent from his seat, but the
Others chairs were occupied. A dog
strayed into the court room looking
for his master, quietly jumped into
the vacant place and made himself
comfortable there, upon which the
Judge, addressing the Hon A. P. Ian
ming, of Buffalo, said gravely:
"You see, Mr.. Lanning, that the
iurymens seats are now all occupied.
Are you ready to proceed p
The distinguished pleader raised his
glasses to his eyes, and after brIer
but comprehensive survey of the jury
box replied as gravely as he had been
addressed:
"Your honor, that fellow might do
for a Judge, but should hate to trust
him for u juryman."
The good natured judge joined
heartily in the merry laugh that fol-
lowed this sally and proved that he
could take as we'll as give joke.
AsrORY AB0TT THE PINsE.
A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petals
| and five sepals. In most pansies, es-
pecially of the earlier and less highly
developed varieties, two of the petals
are plain in color and three are gay.
The two plain petals have a single
sepal, two of the gay petals have a
sepal each, and the third, which is
the largest of all, has two sepals. The
fable is that the pansy represents a
family consisting of husband, wife and
four daughters, two of the latter be-
ing stepchildren of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchild-
rem, with only one chair; the two
small gay petals are the daughters,
with chair each, and the large gay
petals is the wife, with two chairs
TO find the father one must strip away
the petals until the stamens and pts
ills are bare. They have a fancifu
resemblance to an old man with q
flannel wrap about his neck. his
shoulders appraised and his feet in
the bathtub.
