When pair Of red lips are upturned to your
own,
With no one to gossip about it,
Do you pray for endurance to let them alone?
Well, maybe you CO, but doubt it.
When sly little hand you're permitted to
seize,
With a velvety softness about it,
Do you think you can drop it with never
squeeze?
Well, maybe you do, but doubt it.
When tapering waist is in reach of your arm,
With a wonderful plumpness about it,
DO you argue the point 'twixt the good and
the harm?
Well, maybe you do. but doubt 1t.
And if by these tricks you should capture
heart
With womanly softness about it,
Will you guard it and keep it and act the good
part
We'll, maybe you WILL but doubt it,

REFUSE OF MARBLE.
Fragments Which Used to BE Desplsed
Made into Ornamental Shapes

i Made Into Ornamental Shapes.
AS a striking instance of modern
ingenuity that gathers up everything,
that nothing be LOST and turns it to
some account, the transformation OF
marble fragments into things of
beauty, is cite by the New York
Tribune as cons. icuous. ormerly
tons of clippings Of the finest marble
we're thought of no better use than
to make roads or marble dust. Now
the little fragments are brought even
from the far famous quaries OF Car
rara-home of the Sicilian anarchists
and are reunited in solid mass to
form household ornaments, parts Of
buildings, mantels, monuments, etc.
In a large brick structure in one of
the small cit es on the Sound is the
factory of the company engaged in the
marble mosaic business AS one en-
ters he sees barrels full Of marble of
all colors, the fragments being of
various sizes, from that OF pea to
that of an egg or larger. The
smaller sizer are already reduced
enough to form the mosa c, but the
larger ones are crumbled be Lower-
full machines then carefully screened
so as to get an even grade of the size
desired. The PARTICLES are then
mixed with a composition of cement
and other materials, and the mass is
nodded while soft into the desired
shapes. Lying about one sees vari-
Gus molds for table tops, brackets,
urns, mantles, cOrnices, paper
weights, etc. When the mosaic has
hardened it is smoothed and polished
like solid marble, and takes mirror.
like finish. The various co,orS of
marble are made to appear to great
advantage by contrast in some arti-
cIeS. For instance, checkerboard
will be laid out in the squares of red
and black, alternating, on a table
top of gray marble. The makers
claim that the composition will last
for a long time out of doors, and it
has for long time been used already
(more particularly in the West where
it was first introduced) for building
fronts, cemetery vaults, tombstones,
etc 1t will be seen that the marble
mosaic has great advantage in the
way of cheapness over solid marble
work. The material costs much less
than solid marble in the block, while
the work of molding, admitting as it
does of indefinite duplication. is
less expensive process than cutting
by hand. While many may be skep-
tical about the durability Of marble
mosaic as an outdoor building ma
terial there is good demand for the
small articles finished for indoor or
namentS.

tionized the principles of Govern
ment." So it was with the ancient
Jewish people, it was the guar
dian of a divine light which was
kindled in the midst of surrounding
darkness and was commissioned to
carry it down to later ages, and to
make it finally, in its perfected form,
the heritage of mankind. " Let us
pass to Egypt, the land of their
bondage, and in viewing this race o.
people here we will see that they
were in bondage over four hundred
years. They were sent from Egypt
to almost every land as slaves, trans
ported as nuisance, or attracted by
the hope of gain. They had no
local attachment, no kindly feelings,
no stimulus to honor in common
with the rest of mankind And
again, when Mahomet went to de-
stroy the Jews at Koraidhat they
begged for their lives but Abu -Amru
said that all men should be put to
death and all women and children
be made slaves, seven hundred men
were taken to Medina in chains,
their graves were dug-"they went
down into them and periShed. Men
were seen numbering their own chill
dren to keep them from falling into
the hands of their enemies. Wo-
men would bind their children fast
to their own bodies and plunge into
watery grave to escape a more
cruel end. And trace them on and
on you will find them scorned by
every one; but their time for peace
and prosperity is rapidly advancing.
The son of David will reign over
the seed of Abraham. The days of
their mourning shall be ended.
Jews and Gentiles shall then unite
in the service of the Prince of Peace.
