WHAT F'rAAr

Tiredi Well, what of that?
IT'S but q common thing, Is wearness--
And only by exertion's painful stress
May Life attain through discipline its goal
And bring to duty's shrine strengthened soul
Lonely! Well, what of that2
What Is companionship, then, aftor oil,
But some ideal that Is bound to fall
And only through a greater sacrifice
Provo joy unworthy Of the purchase price?
Dark Well, what of that7
Hung Ger n night above this pilgrimage
So dark its stars might not our fears assuage?
Alasl such consolation fills tho night
A soul Of sorrow wishes not tho light
Hardl Well, what of that2
The CALLING yoke has calloused so tho nook
or aspiration that 1t gives no check
TO long accustomed habit-all life's task
Is grateful exercise crushed hope would ask.
No helpl Well, DO It 60.
Tho stouter courage must We then display
And show stole front to stern dismay
Thus. when ell faithfully life's work is done,
Some unseen hand will fit o crown we'll won.

Crusty Carlyle.

Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia and dis
appointment. lie was therefore neither
oversympathctic in intercourse with his
friends nor fair in his estimates of other
writer's
Though he personally liked Tcnnyson,
he spoke with impatcncc of his ''cobbling
his odcs;" dismissed Jane Austen's novels
us dish washings;" Hallam, the histo
rian, as dry as dust" and Goldsmith as
an Irish bnckgunrtl."
Even the writer's of editorials in the
press were salutcd with this hard saying:
What arc these fellows doing? They only
servo to cancel one another" a charnc-
tcristic anecdotc illustrates his cruel dis
position, which provoked him to inllict
pain even on friend.
An artist who frcqucntcd Carlylc's house
painted Il picture of him in his dressing
gown, smoking pipe by the tircsido and
Mrs. Carlyle i'll an armchair sitting oppo
Site him. The picture was hung at one of
the Royal Academy's exhibitions, and
though not Il striking work of art was
purchased by Lord Ashburton, Carlylc's
friend, for $500
The delighted artist hurried off to the
Carlylcs, expecting congratulations on the
sale and some manifestation of pleasure
on their part at having such u value set on
picture of themselves and their domestic
interior. He delivered his glad tidings
but all the response he received from Car
lyle was:

Steel ard NIncnefis1n.

The attention of the Royal Society of
Great Britain has been directed to the
elctro chemical effects on magnctizing
iron, the experiments being as follows:
From n long, finely polished rod two steel
bars were cut adjaccntly, so that they were
practically alike in general composition
and structure These bars were both
weighed and then immersed in equal guam
titles of cupric chloride solution one of
them having previously been magnctizcd
After Il certain timc-6 to 81 hours--thcy
wcrc taken out of the solution freed from
deposited copper and carbonaceous mat
ter then dried and again weighed, the re-
suit being that in every case the magnet
lied bar had lost more in weight than the
unmagnctized bar-that is, an average of
some 20 experiments showed an increase OF
corrosion in the steel, due To magnetic in
nuencc, of about 3 per cent, under the con.
ditions of experimentation York Sun.
