THE LAST LOOK AT THE FAIR.

IT was the morning of our last day. We
entered by the Sixty-fourth-street gate and
walked past Machinery Hall to the front
Of the Agricultural Building. 1t was very
early. not more than a dozen people to be-
seen. The air was delightfully."- bracing
and the atmosphere clear as in June. The
MacMonnies fountain sparked in the sun,
and innumerable sparrows flew in and out
among the figures with happy twitterings.
The graceful columns of the Peristyle
cleaned white In the distance. The wooded
island seemed an enchanted one.
SO still and beautiful it was
We walked slowly through 10
and across to Manufactures Hail. There
were few things we wished to feast our
eyes upon for the last time-the Carrara
marbles and the bronzes from France and
Austria The beauties! How we loved
them! There was a bronze Diana and
marble Venus that we longed to own. but
alas! We noticed how everyone. old and
young admired a certain chubby, sleeping
boy in marble. Children would pat the feet,
serious men would smile, and the women
invariably said Isn't that the sweetest
'thing?'
We went for a few minutes to the Ceylon
exhibit in the Woman's Building expressly
to see a dainty little Cingalese. She was
the prettiest woman in the building, with
her fine features, shining eyes and teeth,
skin like polished bronze. a profusion OF
silky hair artistically arranged, and
sweet childlike smile.
II Is given to US only very few times In
life to be really, blissfully happy.
We had walked through many OF the
rooms in the Art Gallery, glancing for the
last time at the pictures that had become
dear friends. 1t about O'Clock; we
had stopped near the center of the rotunda
to rest; only few people were about; we
could see plainly through long
room the waters of the lagoon and
through another. one of the most beautiful
pictures in the whole collection: we were
i'm the shadow of the Washington statue
and surrounded by others imposing: the
Mexican band was PLAYING the Poet and
Peasant overture. We looked UP into
the dome. all ablaze with starry lights,
we looked for the last time at out pet
statue the final strains OF the overture
were sounding in our ears as We went out
into the night. Perhaps il the mist
from the lake. perhaps IL was un-

that Voc could see the top Or Administration

railroads are prosperous the country is

keep these lines of trade active. But when
they are not doing well they are forced to

''They say best men are nodded out Of

And for the most, become much more the
better,
For being a little bad"
We know this is not true; best men are
made
By being first well born, then trained, as
we'll
Because sometimes a crooked tree, with aid
And care grows straight again, shall we
then tell
The gardener to take no pains at first?
Some people have a notion that a man
Can never be man, heroic, great
Unless some time with putting pride, he can
Point t. his youthful follies and relate
Grim les of how once he was "of the
boys"
We know men who are strong, and good.
and true.
Who never sowed wild oats nor planted
weeds,
And who when called upon to do
Self-sacrificing, brave and noble deeds,
Can do them greatly better than reformed
rakes.
OF virtues then let's say best men are
made,
And apt to better grow from day to day,
BY striving to attain the highest grade,
Not throwing the best years of life away
Trying to be bad in order to be good.

Too Young.


1 am too young, my dear, too young
Love Is not for maid like me;
The clinging hands and the whispering
tongue,
The trembling lips and the songs they
sung
Are only memory!
/ am too young, have not known
The burden of care for single day;
And all the glistening hours have flown
Unheeded and lost to that misty zone
In the dreams of the far away.
My thoughts have been as the birds that
fly
In the perfumed land of the morning sun,
Bathing their wings in the deep blue sky
And the shimmering mists of the clouds
that lie
IN the realm of the Holy One.
And yet, in my foolish heart there reigns
a love as deep as the endless sea-
Sometime, somewhere, when the bright
ness wanes
And only dream OF the past remains.
III trust 1t all with thee, my love-
I'll trust 1t all with thee!

Mary Magdnlene's Grave.

Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually
visit st. Baume, in Provence, not far
from Marseilles, where Mary Magdalene
is said to have spent the last 80 years of
her life.
The legend, according to the Nouvelle
Revue, runs that Mary Magdalene came
from Judea in small boat with Laza-
rus, Martha, the two Marys and Salome,
bringing with them the boiE5oF st. Anne,
the head of st. James the Less and a
few wee bones of the innocents massa-
cred by King Herol. But from early
ages this story has been disputed, and
the Able Duchesne, one of the most cru
dite writers on the early Christian saints
and martyrs, considers that the relics of
Mary Magdalene were probably sent
from Constantinople about the seventh
century. A Greek breviary, however,
speaks of the saint as having died at

Beauty's Varieties.

The French say there are several
cages" as we'll as kinds of beauty-the
beauty of mere youthfulness, which they
call la beaute du diable; also beauty of
"ugliness," of "old age" and of chin
ness" called la beaute du singe. Fred
erika Bremen, the Swedish novelist, had
the beauty of ''plainness." She was so
very plain of face that her expression of
trustfulness, as though appealing to you
to find some other qualities in her than
mere clocks" shone out with perfect
radiance that ennobled her face and
drew friends to her, because she had no
other beauty. But Miss Bremen took
pleasure in her well kept hands, of
which she used to say, "Even hands
have their moments" of charm.
