Last night, my darling, as you slept
i thought ] heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept,
And watched a space thereby:
And then ! stopped and kissed your brow
For OH / love you So
You are too young TO know II now,
But some time you shall know.
Some time when in a darkened place
y Where others come to weep
Calm In eternal sleep;
The voiceless lips, the, wrinkled brow.
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you may know.
Look backward. then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, o my darling! how my tears
Are falling as / write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss OF long ago
You are too young TO know II now,
But some time you shall know.

Of these men are coming and going

about them is that they all wear but
tons OH their chins; their hair, long and

Of some big chief up above. There are
two or three big Chiriguano chiefs in
the Bolivia Chaco who have supreme
power over as many rs 5000 or 1000
men. They hold their own courts Of
justice in their own towns, wage wars
with their neighbors or the Bolivian
government, and counteract the infiu-
ence of the Jesuit mission among them.
On the whole, the Chiriguano is de-
sirable laborer, is cheerful and good

Napoleon 9 Grand Army.

In order to apprehend Napoleon's su-
pernal greatness 1t Is essential ut this
period of his life to shut out Of view
the man and politician, and fix the eye
again OH the general; to see him, more
over, solely as strategist. 1t may be
said that he was for the first and last
time unhampered. His political in
dependence aud personal popularity
were alike secure. His army was the
best in Europe, composed Of young and
well-drilled conscripts, who had been
IS months under arms, with large
nucleus of trained veterans. OF the gen
erals who commanded the seven corps
destined for Germany only two, Anger
eau and Bernadotte, were over 40 years
of age. The emperor himself, Soult,
Lannes and Ney were &c, Davout was IS.
and Marmont only 81. OF the division
commanders one-half were between 30
and 40. while only single one was 80.
Not one of these men was common
place. They knew their profession,
and had practiced it with success; they
were without an exception self-reliant
ind cntcrprising, familiar with their
leaders methods and requirements

Coney Island Is No Longer the Popular
Resort for New Workers.
Coney Island is q desert waste to-day.
The life that marked it during the past
two weeks is no longer visible, and the
only sound that reaches the eur is the
swash OF the ocean as it breaks upon
the sandy beach, and the occasional
rumble of IL wagon on Surf avenue. The
merry-go-rounds are closed, likewise
nine-tenths of the saloons, and the myr-
lad of fakirs have gone to pastures new
to ply their trades. Along the beach
the lighthouses arc deserted, and the
long lines of bathing suits hung out to
dry are seen no more. To-day the is
land may be summed up as country
village, with "pop" Horizons Us the

John Scherrer, a hunter, shot n male
lammergeicr, or Alpine vulture, and
was climbing to the nest, when the
female flew up and settled on his back,
driving her claws in deep, and trying
with furious backward beats Of the
wing to drag him from the face of the
rock. The mans gun was loaded, but
he dared not let go his hold on the rock
TO fire 1t. His attitude was for time
that of reversed Prometheus, the vul-
ture tearing his back, instead Of making
a meal of his victims liver. In this
prcdicament the hunter contrived to
shift the position Of his gun. SO that
the muzzle almost touched the breast
Of the lammergeier, and cooked and

cases the vulture was not the first az
gressor. Unfortunately the cases in
which 1t has carried away young in
fants IRE not rare, and are well anthem
ticated.-London Spectator.

Dcean Vessels before Long May 10 Pro-
PEELED by Electricity.
Ten years ago well-known professor
OF electrical engineering in n leading
American college, who had tested nj.
most every form of the storage battery
then made, was asked whether he saw
my future for the accumulation. His
reply was: 'The more see of storage
batteries the more am convinced that
they IRE impracticable, and that they
cpn never be made commercially val
uable." To-day the storage battery 10
working its way into almost every
branch of electrical work, and II certain
promises which recent improvement In
construction seem to give are fulfilled,
It is on the eve of its browning triumph,
recognition rs a practicable motive
power for the commercial propulsion
Of street cars.
Many electrical engineers have just
as little faith in the possibility of driv-
ing ships across the Atlantic by cleo
tricity as the college professor had us
to the future of the storage battery, but,
on the other hand, inventions are now
being perfected which will effect an ex-
trnordinary and almost incredible rev.
o'ution in ship propulsion, and those
who know what is being done in this
field, which Is not yet made public, re-
alize that to name ten years rs the pc
Rod within which electric ships will
cross the Atlantic is to allow very lib
cral margin. This will probably be If
fected by machines giving IN enormous
economy of power, but there Is already
talk of carrying out the idea with ex-
listing appliances.
A. S. Hickey, pioneer in Amer
lean electric launch construction, holds
that the reason vessels crossing the At
lantic make such comparatively slow
time Is that they cannot drive their
propellers fast enough with the amount
OF power behind them without shaking
the boat to pieces. He proposes to put
in an ocean ship u powerful engine, say,
compound condensing engine of slow
speed type, connected to multipolar
generator, giving, say, 500 volts poten-
tial.
Directly on the shafts Of the propel-
lers he would put the armatures of the
motors, which are to drive the propel-
lers. These can readily be made to
run from 600 to 900 revolutions per min
ute, whereas the engine is probably
making only 60 to so. In this way, not
only would there be considerable accel-
leration of speed, but the vibration of
the ship would be almost entirely pre-
vented, and the dipping in and out of
the water Of the propellers in rough
weather would not affect the main en-
ginc and jar the vessel from stem to
stern us it now does.-Pittsburgh Dis
