walls as he slid back to the sandy floor.
The sharpest discouragHment is
sometimes blessing in disguise. The
shock of the fall and the apparent fail
ure of his carefully laid plan seemed
to inspire Ringbrand with an energy
born of despair. Struggling to his
feet, and gathering new courage from
the thought that the other end of the
rope was still fastened to the remain
ing round in the upper shadows, he
lashed the stick that had fallen to the
end to which the pick was attached,
and climbed once more to the perch
in the twilight under the roof. Fired
with an enthusiasm which banished
all thought of fatigue, he soon had the
swaying log in his grasp again, and
after moment of critical poising the
last step was wedged into it's place
and driven securely home by few
blows with the pick. Without wait
ing to test its stability, he swung up to
the frail staging, drew the pick up after
him, and balanced himself for the at
tack upon the roof. Just at this juno
ture the thought suddenly came to him
that he had built his ladder upon the
mere supposition that the roof was as
sailable, and an awful fear that instead
of yielding earth he might encounter
u huge bowlder almost unnerved him.
There was no time for hesitation, how
ever, and, summoning all his strength,
he swung the pick upward, giving a
glad cry of relief and q hearty THANK
God!" when the iron tore great hole
through the thin covering, bringing
down shower of earth and pebbles
upon him, and letting the blessed light
of day into the gloomy shadows of the
pit.
A minute later he was standing, be-
grimed and breathless, but heart whole
and thankful, upon the firm turf of the
mountain top; and, pausing only long
enough to get his bearings, he set off
OF quick trot toward Tregarthep, taxi
ing straight course through the for
est and keeping the direction by the
red glow of the sunset. ,

VOICES.

There are voices all around us-voicesi
sweet and voices sad
One makes the heart throb heavily, the
other makes II glad;
Rich voices in the streamlet, fond voices In
tho air,
And voices in the night stars, low-breath-
ing, sweet and rare.
There are voices all around US, voices in
the passing breeze,
And voices of the memory, far sweeter
than all these;
They are voices from distant home, from
those well-loved and dear,
And their whisperings come gently upon
the listening ear
There are voices from father, long since
returned to dust,
And voices from a mother, now with the
sainted just;
Voices from an absent brother, and from a
sister kind,
Which soothe lonely, aching heart, and
calm troubled mind.
There are voices to a parent. of infant
mirth and glee,
Which fill the soul with music of richest
melody
OF babyhood--of childhood-of youth ma
turer grown
And these voices to loving heart are
echoed by its own.
There are voices all around us. and voices
dear on earth,
But dearor far than all of these of moro
heavenly birth
Are the voices that by faith we hear from
out the star-gemmed skies,
Where sorrow ne'er may cloud the heart.
and pleasure never dies.
Good housekeeping.

When Mr. Blaine was for the last time
in New York Oh his way 10 Washington
stopping, as was his habit, at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, he asked me to walk with
him to his room, fronting on 23d
street, on the parlor floor, and he
slowly, as if it twere task, unlocked the
door. There was a sparkle OF autumnal
crlspness in the air, and he had fire
that glittered and threw shadows about
the room fitfully. There was not much
to say. 1t was plain at last that Mr..
Blaine was fading, that he had within
q few weeks failed fast. His great,
bright eyes were greater than ever, but
rot so bright. His face was awfully
white; not that brainy pallor that was

ton, and in a moment he appeared to
have forgotten me, and he stared in a
fixed rapt dream at the flickering flame
in the CRATE. 1t occurred to me to get
up and GO away quietly, as converse
ton was impossible, for there was too
much to say. 1t came to me that l
ought not to leave him alone. Some
thing in him reminded me Of the mys-
tical phrase Of the transcendent para
graph of his Grafton on Garfield, pictur-
ing the death of the second martyred
president, by the ocean, while far-off
white ships touched the SEA and sky,
and the fevered face of the dying man
felt "the breath of the eternal morn
ing"
Some weeks earlier Mr.. Blaine and
had had deep talk about men and
things, and he was very kind, and his
bouadless generosity of nature never
revealed itself with a greater or sadder
cl.aflIrSs He now remembered that con-
versation, as word disclosed, and
said: 81 could have endured all things

opened and his secretary walked in, and
took Mr.. Bl0inc's land for the last
time, saying Good night" and he said,

Ringbrand tied one end of the rope to
the pick, and, carrying the other end
with him, he ascended and fastened
1t to the first piece of wood. Then
climbing to the second, he repeated
the former operation, dislodging the
lower round by gentle upward blows
with the swinging pick and drawing
it up until he could grasp and raise it
to point still higher in the cavern.
The plan was completely successful,
but it's slow progress consumed the
time remorselessly, and the strain of
work and anxiety began to tellupon him.
He fought desperately against the ris-
ing fever of impatiencc, knowing well
enough that everything now depended
upon his ability to go on with persist
ent determination and with steady
hands. AS he neared the roof Of the
cavern, where the shadows were deeper,
the difficulty of placing the cross-pieces
increased so greatly that he grew faint
and dizzy with lifting and reaching;
and while he was raising the last step
in the stair to its place between the

Mage. He complained to England, and
that country, which always stands up

Guatemala to punish the official and to

The New Power.

Nicola Tesla has, it is asserted, dis
| covered new power or means of elec.
trical application, which he describes
as follows: 1.-The whole secret lies in
my discovery Of what is known as the
rotating magnet field What it is l
able. can only give the facts which
have been discovered through expert
ment. The discovery of these scien-
titic facts has done entirely away with
the commutator which has heretofore
been necessary on all electric motors.
This commutator, with its close adjust
ment, delicate and intricate parts, has
been the cause of all the trouble. A
slight injury to this commutator,
which may arise from the presence Of
n drop of water, may destroy the whole
machine. The danger is now all done
away with by discarding the commu-
tator entirely. This result is accom-
plished by utilizing the rotating mag
net field, which simply means that If q
circular metal disk is placed on an
axle and brought near the electric coil
it will revolve. The disk touches moth
ing but its own bearings, vet it re-
wolves, and thus produces power. This
power is what is used in the new
motor" The Importance of a discov-
cry of this sort can scarcely be esti-
mated. 1t will, it is said, revOlutionize
power. and proclaims the beginning Of
the decadence of steam.

A Peculiar City.

Fish City, which belongs to the State
of Michigan, is an odd place with a
watery flavor: it has no existence in
summer, but is busy place in winter,
is not built on land and yet has moth
ing to do with boats. The ice of Sagi-
nav Bay is used as foundation for
the city every winter, and the town is
occupied by men and their families,
who catch, clean and pack whitefish
and lake trout for the market. It is
built in the same cove every winter,
the houses being constructed of rough
pine boards. 1t had population OF
nearly three thousand in the winter
of 1S93-94, nearly twice that number
last winter, and this season the popu.
lation has taken another Jump for.

THE COMING MAN.

A pair of very chubby legs,
Incased in scarlet hose;
A pair Of little stubby boots,
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt, little coat
Cut as a mother can
And 10! before us stand in state
The futures coming man."
His eyes, perchance, will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
Perchance the human heart and soul
Will open to their gaze;
Perchance their keen and flashing glance
Will be nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
On some big fellows kite.
Those hands-those little, busy hands
So sticky, small and brown;
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down;
Who knows what hidden strength may be
Hidden in their clasp,
Though now tits but taffy stick
In sturdy hold they grasp?
Ah, blessings on those little hands,
Whose work is yet undone,
And blessings on those little feet,
Whose race is yet unrun!
And blessings on the little brain
That has not yet learned to plan!
Whate'er the future holds in store,
God bless the coming man."

Ten Stories UnderSround.

1t has been shown that with the aid
of air shafts and other appliances
quarters story below ground may be
rendered far more comfortable than
those above, and with care exercised
in the ventilation, such quarters may
be made perfect from a sanitary stand
point. If this is so one story below
ground, why not three or four, and if
two, three or four, why not ten or
twelve if necessary? This may solve
the problem OF economy in building
space and do away with the sky-scrap-
ing buildings that are everywhere
causing unfavorable comment. SIT
may be long time hence,' says an
architect, ''but l believe the time
will come when there will be as many
buildings ten stories underground as
there arc that number above the sur
face of the ground" THIS sounds
chimericel, but perhaps if is not.
