"a SWIMMING SONG"
CA Memory of Boyhood.)

A red blood sky is ferceIy bending,
A haggered sky, where lightnings leap,
A copper sky that shows no ending,
Relentless as the shaggy deep.
A brazen shield of fiery fuel,
1t fierceIy throws a blistering glow,
1t shrivels like swart Afric jewel,
A pitiless and ruthless foe!
The day is hot; the air is singing;
1t seems to burn your frenzied brain;
The blistering breeze, a, scorpion clinging,
VIII sink its fangs and lash the pain.
The sun-baked city's scorched and steam
Wan puny babies tossing, dreaming,
Lie huddled, writhing in despair.
oh, dark-browed night Of soothing SUM
Der,
You bring no rest to eyes thai weep,
A weary vigil, griefs that cumber,
No sumptuous heritage of sleep,
No juicy clouds from elfiand sailing
Float brooding with moist, bullying rain,
No fair hotlllas, squadrons halltng,
From faery ports of skyey main!
Then you seek the wflimpering river,
Soak your body in the flow,
Steep your senses till they SILVER.
The water clasps you cold as snow.
Cool the bubbling water round you,
Poulticing your throbbing breast,
Chattering crisp as blithe it found you,
Luis you to delicious rest
Dive into the billoW creeping,
Grapple with the stubborn brine,
Like 1.-the, languid leopard leaping,
Charged with smell of wind-swept pine.
Tossed on crest of whitecap crashing,
Drenched and deluged in the spray,
Wrestle with green breaker splashing,
Cool lifes hot, tunultuous fray.
Sweet is sleep to those that labor,
Sweet is rest to those that toll
Sweet the grasp of friend or neighbor
All these things are for the giving,
Fresh as dew or cooling rain,
But the supreme joy of living,
Battling with stark shaggy main!
JAMES E. KINSELIAA.

BUILDING o FTHE VATICAN.
Pope Nicholas v. is Credited With
Planning the Papnl Residence

Pope Nicholas v. is Credited With
Planning the Papnl Residence
The present existence of this palace
is principally due to Nicholas v, the
builder pope, whose gigantic scheme
would startle a modern architect. His
plan was to build the church of st.
Peters as starting point and then to
construct enc vast central habitat"
for the papal administration, covering
the whole of what is called the Borgo,
from the castle of Saint Angelo to the
cathedral. In ancient times a poq-tico
or covered way supported on columns
led from the bridge to the church, and
it was probably from this real structure
that Nicholas began his imaginary one,
only a, small part of which was ever
completed. The small portion alone
comprises the basilica and the Vatican
palace, which together form by far the
greatest continuous mass of buildings
in the world. The colosseum is 1876
yards long by 156 broad, including the
thickness of the walls. ST. Peters
church alone is POS yards long and 156

but remember that there is great vir-
tue in silence, says a writer in Har-
per's Bazaar. 1t is the hastily spoken
word which brings on another and an
other, and if we could refrain from the
satirical or vehement reply, passing by
what has irritated US, the moment of
danger would presently be gone. With
children it is usually best to avoid an
issue where trif1es are in dispute, try
ing the blessed effect of diversion. 1t is
rarely worth while for a mother to set
her battle array against a baby. She
who is tactful and sensible introduces
a new idea, and presently the little
parsonage, all sweet and smiling, for
gets the obstinacy which was ready to
lift its defiant head. Said the mother
of seven: Il was foolishly anxious over
my first child, and there were many
difficult passages for him and for me,
but 1 have never repeated the sort of
discipline, which made the nursery a
place of arbitrary despotism, in the
case of my other children" Friction
between friends is sometimes newt
able. People have had entirely differ
ent backgrounds. Bringing-up tells,
and even married friends, which hus-
band and wife should surely be, may
strike on rocks in daily intercourse, be-
cause their standards, their early in
fluences, and their education have been
diverse. To manage life successfully
and life is so short it ought not to be
failure-we must reduce friction to
a minimum
Perhaps the fine art of living to-
gether is the most difficult of all arts
to acquire, but in its outcome it brings
much happiness. OF what avail are
successes which turn to bitterness, or
rxrh ial1 il
cause there is continual pickering and
constant small squabbling? A little
yielding, little sacrifice of self-wilI,
little gentleness; they cost only an
effect, but they will repay richly the
one who makes it.

parts of the present vatican palace are
not older than his reign. They are gen
orally known as the Torra Borgia, from
having been inhabited by Alexander
VI, who died of poison in the third of
the rooms now occupied by the library,
counting from the library side The
windows of these rooms look upon the
large square court of the Belvedere,
and that part of the palace is not Wis
ible from without.
Portions of the substfucture Of the
earlier building were no doubt utilized
by Nicholas, and the secert gallery
which connects the vatican with the
mausoleum of Hadrian is generally at
tributed to Pope John XIII, who died
in 1417 but on the whole it may be said
that the vatican palace is originally a
building of the period of the renais-
sance, to which all of the successive
popes have. made MISUNDERSTANDING
