knew, and her thin, white fingers
nestled close in the strong clasp of
the uncle for whom her soul was sOr
rowful, because he knew not God and
could not lean on him when trouble

She held the page of manuscript
toward him.

Uncle. I did it in verse for you. I

It was a night of watching. Gloria
slept little, and there was a radiant
look in her eyes that Uncle Dan could
not bear to see, for it told him that
few hours only could they keep her.
Towards morning she fell into
slight slumber, waking in the early
dawn to give hand to mother and
uncle, and her soul went out as the
light came in.
The bereaved mother tasted of the
gladness and sadness of the Man of
Sorrows that Christmas day, and
smiled and wept in turn. Gloria had

said to Uncle Dan.
But Uncle Dan tasted of the sad

him for many hours. But late that

sat down to read the lines penned in
such loving thought for him.

Was Built by the Romans and Is Still in n Good Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Enp- land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- Ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa. cement and Roman bricks, or tiles. and IS in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such beacon would be a practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century. A. D., following on the expedition of CIau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Gas. tonbury, in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 12OOB. B.C.: but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning of the question.

TERRAIN CATCHING.

Taken Most AbundantIy in Cold Weather
 Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.

A reporter for the Cincinnati Trib- une lately overheard dialogue be- tween two suburban gentlemen.

 "Pass!" was the answer. "She didn't pass at all. Maybe you won't believe it, but they asked that poor girl about things that happened before she was born."

The Water Lily.

Several specimens of water lilies have the very curious peculiarity of bloom ing all day and at evening closing their blossoms, and, by retracting the stem, drawing the four entirely under water. There is no more singular fact in the history of flowers than this oddity of the water lily.

Nature Paints of Negroes.

"A writer in Progress Artistique, in discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child-people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with feeting association with for eigners, results in species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, developed monkey music.
