while she herself sank with an air of
utter WEAKNESS upon sofa drawn in
front of the fire.
She was a tall, brilliant t-complex-
ioned blonde, with big blue eyes like
dolls, golden hair, and lovely red
mouth that put you in mind of clus-
ter of dead-ripe scarlet cherries, and
her dress was of white mist-like tulle,
looped up by bouquets of blue forget
me-nots, and floating blue ribbon.
Mrs. Evelyn stood patiently by, pick
ing up the flowers, folding the opera
cloak with the snowy silk lining on the
outside, and stirring the fire that it
might blaze up with a moro CHEEKY
luster.
"Will you have cup of tea, love,
before you go to bedP" she asked,
wistfully.
''No, 1 won't!" answered the young
lady, undutifully. 'Thank goodness
I'm not such bundle of whims as you
are, mamma. Why don't you take out
my hair-pins, instead of standing star
ing there?"

dear, said the mother, advancing with
nervous haste.
"There!" calculated Theodore, tart

your clumsy feet. I've great mind
not to let you come near me-"

and pale as she began to take down

The Fascinating Fisheries Exhibit.

In no structure within the Fair

so sympathetically reflective of its ar

terror in fountain and cascade and
gigantic aquaria. AS we follow around
these green translucent walls within,
our passage lit only from the diffused
light transmitted from above the water,
we can almost fancy ourselves walking
on the actual river bed, ogled by fa-
miliar forms of sun-fsh, perch or
pickerel; or perhaps wandering as in
a dream among fair ocean caves
abloom with brilliant tsea-anemones, and
embowered with mimic groves of
branching corals and all manner of
softly swaying sea weed-graceful
crimson laminaria reaching to the sur
face of the water, responding in SER
pentine grace to the soft invasion
of waving fin. Rare living gems Of
fishes, very butterflies of the deep,
float past flashing in iridescence with
every subtitle turn of their painted
bodies. Star-fsh, at first apparently
stationary, as though in midwater,
glide across the Elusive plane of glass,
with their thousand fringy disks of
feet. Strange crabs and mollusks and
bivalves sport on the pebbly bottoms,
and portentous monsters, with great
gaping mouths, threaten us as they
emerge from their nebulous obscurity
and steal to within few inches of our
faces. -Scribner.

THE OLD LOVE SONG.
Play It slowly, sing it lowly

Play it slowly, sing it lowly,
Old familiar tanel
Once It ran in dance and dimple,
Like brook in June;
Now it sobs along the measures
with sound Of tears
Dear old voices echo through It,
Vanished with the years.
Ripple, ripple goes the love song
TIL, in slowing time,
Early sweetness grows completeness,
Floods its every rhyme;
Who together learn the music
Life and death unfold;
Know that love is just beginning
Until love is old.
Play 1t slowly, it Is holy,
As an evening hymn; ~.
Morning gladness hushed to sadness
Fills it to the brim.
Memories home within the music,
Stealing through the bars;
Thoughts within its quiet spaces
Rise and set like stars.

This has not been a good year for
railroad building and the reasons are
apparent. During the six months
ended July LIST only 10l4 miles of rail
road were built in the United States,
less than we have built during any six
months since the war. The new mile
age is distributed as follows:

1t will be Observed says the Atlanta
Journal, from which the above table is
taken, that not mile of new railroad
has been built in Georgia this year,
though Georgia year before last led
all the States of the Union in railroad
construction. The fact that Georgia
does not appear in the list printed
above is not 10 be regretted. There
has been no recent need for new rail
roads in this State, and money has been
so tight that none of it has been found
ready to go into experimental enter
prises of this sort. A similar state of
affairs in the other States is the ex-
planation of the small new railway
mileage. Railroad building has been
overdone in many States, and it will
be a long time before some of the
lines that have been built in Georgia
during the last five or six. years will
pay. The general falling off in rail
road construction is healthful sign.
In the first six months of last year
there were built in the United States
1867 miles of railway and the con
struction for the year was 1900 miles.
The same ratio of increase for the last
six months of the year would give US
about 5000 miles Of new railroad for
