"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.

1t Is claimed that the bridge over the

certainly radical departure from common
methods, the principle upon which it
works being that Of raising or lowering a
window. On either bank rises tower Of
iron lattice work 19l feet high. The
bridge, 80 feet in span and weighing 800
tons, extends between them, its ends At
ting into grooves. 1t is fitted with coun-
ter weights, cables and pulleys, all of
which are governed by a 20 horsepower
steam engine. When the bridge is to be
opened, the engineer throws off the balance,
and the bridge rises smoothly and horizon.

There is a little garden on the earth
Wherein wander gayly day and night;
There could never sad or lonely be,
For tits o'ergrown with angel beauties bright
There gaze the eyes, undimmed with sorrows
flood,
From bowers terrene to cloudless skies and
blue,
While glittering on each fairy finger green
There Is distilled crystal drop of dew.
There also flows the brooklet bright and clear
Its course is unimpeded in these bowers,
And all along its banks, with mods and smiles.
We see our dearest, prettiest morning flowers.
There must our grief and signing ever cease;
The heart be glad and lamentations mute;
There hang on twigs of life, forever green,
The bursting buds presaging precious fruit
We seek In vain dark and gloomy mien;
We find no envy, neither hate nor scOrn.
There hum the stingless bees with honeyed
wings;
Tho violet blooms; the rose without a thorn.
There smile the suns approving radiant beans'
A brighter twinkle has each merry star;
While Sadness care anu srAeycr near,
oh, do not seek that garden on the eartI
1t is ami ever shall to us be near.
We need like children only to become,
And, 10, we have that kindergarten herel
From the German.

When Earth's last picture is painted; when the
tubes are twisted and dried;
When the olee est colors have vanished, and the
youngest critic has died,
We shall rest and faith, we shall need it, lie
down for an hour or two,
TIL the Master Of all good workmen shall set
us to work anew.
And those that are good shall be happy; they
shall sit in golden chair
And splash at a ten league canvas with brushes
of camel's hair;
They shall have real saints to draw from, Sias
- and Peter and Paul;
They shall work for year at a sitting and
never get tired at all.
And only Rembrandt shall teach us, and only
Van Dyke shall blame.
And no one shall work for money, and no one
shall work for fame,
But all for the sake of working, and each In
his separate star,
Shall paint the Thing as he sees 1t for the God
of Things rs they are.

Some paddle their canoes along upon life's
troubled sea
In happy, careless, dont-care way, with voices
full of glee.
With many a splash and many dash they row
themselves along,
But their boats don't make much Roadway, for
their strokes are never strong.
There are Others still who row along the course
from day to day
Who never splash and never dash and haven't
much to say.
You never hear them coming, but they win the
race because
They save their wind for business and pull with
muffied oars.

The star Is not extnguished when its sets
Upon the dull horizon; 1t but goes
To shine in other skies, then reappear
In ours as fresh as when 1t first arose.
The river is not lost when DER the rock
II pours Its flood into the abyss below;
It's scattered force regatherlng from the shock,
1t hsstens onward with yet fuller flow.
The bright sun dies not when the shadowing orb
of the eclipsing moon obscures its ray;
~ sui Is shining on, and soon to US
VIII burst undInmed into the 10y of day.
Thus nothing dies, or only dies to live;
star, stream, sun, flower, the dewdrop and
the gold,
tastes to put In Its purer, finer mold
Thus in the quiet JOY of kindly trust
we bid each parting saint a brief farewell;
weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust
To the safe keeping Of the silent cell
-Horatius Bonar

Toll upward through the ages; he was crowned
With melancholy myrtle, and sublime
The luster of his glory spread around.
Down the aim pasts far echoing dreamy shade,
Haunted by spirits that have lived before,
heard his efforts with derision paid
He and his works condemned foreyermore.
But from the concourse, waving as she went
Fond Nature babe him rise, and with accord,
While the long moldering harp anon he swept,
To other realms his soul poetic scared,
And the dull clods Of earth that wont to sneer
Inclined with breathless awe his thrilling song
to hear Sir Walter Scott.

II thou shalt be In heart child,
Forgiving, tender, meek and mild,
Though with light stains Of earth dehled.

Thou shalt not lose thy fitting need.
II shall be surely well.

n GOOD FISH STORY.-Onc of the
most remarkable catches ever made
with the rod and reel occurred snrlr
Time ago IN the state Of Florida. TIC
man who acrOmpliS he'd this cXtraorui-
nary feat was n. NJ. George, OF Dan.
bury, Conn. Il nephew Of cx-Govcrnor
Roswell i. Fowler, Of New York. He
was hshlng for tarpOn. in company
Win guide, at II little place called
Nlgger Head, when he felt sometime
pulling at his line. II did not take
long - ascertain that the game wa,
even bigger than the silver kinr, and
Mr.. George settled down to Give thc
fellow battle. The fish soon came 10
the surface. He was q monster saw
hsh, and he slashed his saw about in
the water at great rate. Mr.. George
handled the fish most Skilifully. ana
proved that he is a thorough cypcrl
IN the use OF rod and reel. The hattlr
tasted one hour and twenty minutes
when the osawtish was brought TO tln
gan and killed. He measured fourteen
feet eight inches in length and WEIGH.
cd G23 pounds. His saw was fo,.ry
inches in icngLn and five in width, and
MS lllppcrS' measured lifty-siX inches
This gives MIR. George the record cn
the Calooaahatchcc for the largest
sawfi5h ever caught with rod and reel
MIR. George says he doesn't care 10
tackle another, and this is the CON.
cluslon OF all thc noted experts; who
have ever played Il sawlisn. This may
read like great FISH story to pcoplC
who know little Of the great fishing ON
the Calrosahatchcc river, but 'hc facts
