bowl with some rotten oak leaves which
he had picked up from the ground and
pulled to pieces during his story, tried
to smoke, but with a pitiful lack OF
success. With tears in his eyes he sat
for o long interval gazing off into the

WHEN IRIS coLp.


When needles are In your fingers and toes
When icicles hang from thesnow-man's nose
When the frost on the pane makes sugary
trees,
And wagon-wheels over the hnrd ground
wheeze,
When the toughened old farmer filings round
his arms
As II he'd throw them across two farmss
When ears are rubbed and noses are red,
And sheets are Like ice in the spare-room
bed
When water-pipes burst, and wells freeze up,
And the tea isn't hot whom 1t leaves the cup
When stray dogs coming along the street
Never stand for q second on all four feet
When little boys cry If they have to be out,
And are heard for q full half-mile II they
shout
When the day is as clear as the thoughts that
fed
Out into the world from Shakspere's head
When the air about seems as still as a rocky
And q sudden noise Is a sudden shock,
And the earth seems deserted, lonely, and
old
You are pretty sure that IT'S pretty coldi

Business Is Business.

A good story is told Of q millionaire
who was caught on a surface car
without change In his pocket, says
the New York Tribune. He went to
the conductor quietly and explained
his situation, and ended BY saying:
"If you're a smoker, perhaps you will
not object to pay my fare and take its
value In this way" Here he drew
from his cigar Ease a fine after-din-
ner Perfecto and offered 1t to the con-
Iductor. stAll right said the latter:
tsbut biz is biz The fare is 5 cents,
and you'll have to give me two of
them" The passenger laughingly
complied. as he thought tse humor OF
the affair, Intentional ornot, deserved
recognition.

There is only one st. Paul's, and
upon the summit of its dome there is
but one ball, Atlong intervals a Lon
doner, and more frequently a tourist,
climbs to this ball and sticks his head
and shoulders inside. Having done
this and looked upon the heart Of the
world from the stone gallery and the
golden gallery, and upon the congre-
CATION from the whispering gallery, he
returns to earth and tells his friends
and acquaintance Of his feat, and adj
yises them to follow his example. The
number of persons who make this pill
grimage averages about forty per day.
To reach the ball it IS necessary to
climb $40 steps of many varieties. The
proportions of the gilded globe are in
perfect keeping with its surroundings.
II has o diameter of six feet, and twelve
persons can stand within its walls. 1t
weighs $500 pounds. The gilded cross
that towers above it is fifteen feet IN
height. From this ball nearly all Lon

are SO many kinds Of steps in the cathe'

the opinion of those who have counted
them, to climb these steps is equal to
covering twenty miles on an ordinary

however, that the return journey is
equal to a Russian bath. The first
steps are of wood. These are succeeded
by steps of stone, and these in turn by
iron ones. Then there are ladders.
