RETURN of THE MARBLEHEAD.
The Cruiser Coming Home With Men
Whose Time Is Up.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Admiral Selfridge
cabled the navy department to-day that
the Marblehead left Smyrna this morn
ing for Gibraltar, on her way home, hav-
ing on board all the men of his fleet whose
terms of enlistment will shortly expire.
The admiraTs message contained no ref
erence to the other ships of his command
nor to any movements he contemplated.
The San Francisco and Bancroft are still
with the flagship Minneapolis, and it is
thought that had their mission been other
than peaceful, he would not have de-
tached the Marblehead at this time.

TRUTH ABOUT BOY,

He comes out at the front door,
brightfaced and happy. He comes
out for no particular reason, save that
he wants to be moving about. He is
full of physical action, and must get
some of it out him before be dtime, or
he won't be fit to sleep
He doesn't know this with his head,
but his body knows it; for, after all,
the body does a good deal of its think
ing independently of what we call
consciousness. He stands on the
step and looks up and down the
street.
He doesn't know what he is looking
for. Indeed, he is not looking for
anything. He just looks with sort
of underlined hope that he will see
something suggestive to him of what
to do. He jumps down the steps and
goes to the gate, hangs on it a mo-
ment, makes few sounds with his
voice such as nobody but a boy can
make, and nobody else would make if
he could. iThey don't mean anything.
He makes them because-well, be
caus e he is a boy.
As if he had suddenly thought of
some thing to DO, hebangs the gate open
and PUSHES down the middle of the
street yelling like a young Indian.
But he has not suddenly thought of
something to do. He has simply done
that because he couldn't think
of anything to do and must do
something.
Then he picks up stone and throws
it at Il dog, and cringes and feels sorry
if it hits the mark He doesn't want
to hurt the dog. He throws the stone
because he and the dog and the stone
are there, and it is handy to do so.
For few seconds he stands and looks
up into Il tree-at nothing. Then he
breaks into IL run again, suddenly sits
down on the curbStone as if he had
accomplished something and was con
fnnt

GRAINED TIE PRIVILEGE TO
TITN.

A well dressed young lady was stand
ing at the back of the seats in the
ladies' gallery at the House of Com
mons, surveying the scene, when the
doorileeper hustled up 10 her and told
her i'll a whisper that it was against
the rules to stand"
So she sat down. Listening to one
of the members she nearly dropped
off to sleep, and in her abstraction she
dropped Il book on the floor.
Back came the doorkeeper with
another piece of information. She
''must not drop things; it disturbed
the members" Half a dozen men
looked up to see if an Anarchist had
gotten into the galleries, and the girl
at the back of her giggled.
The fair spectator held her ground,
however, and presently opened the
book and began to read. Again the
dOorkeeper:
You amt allowed to read in this here
gallery, ma am; its against the rules. ="
She sat for Il moment. wrath in
every feature, glaring down at the
heads below.
Just as the doorkeeper sat down she
turned and beckoned him vigorously.
He came dumping down, and as he
bent over her she asked him, in Il
tone that startled, everyone:
May | yawn?'
The laugh that rippled round was
not caused bv the remarks of the
members for ", and the young
lady was not again molested.

M0NUMENT

One of the most remarkable monu-
ments in this country is i'll San Luis
Obispo, Southern California. Agreat
rock rises $50 feet above the plain of
Carissa, and in the distance looks rug
ged and forbidding. On near APP
proach it is seen to have on its eastern
side an opening % feet broad, which
leads into an inner temple or court,
with level floor 225 feet long and 12j
broad at its widest part. The ceiling
is 60 to 100 feet high. This great nat
ural catheral is wonder to biologists,
but it is more wonderful to archaeolo-
gists. 1t was evidently used by pre-
historic men as a temple of worship or
u capitol of government. On the
walls are paintings i'll red, white and
black, doubtless having a meaning.
There are figures representing fields,
suns, forts, spears, men and animals.
The colors are apparently as bright
as when laid on. The wonder was
discovered by Franciscan missionaries
more than one hundred years ago, and
there has been no change in its APP.
pearance since. When or by whom the
walls were decorated no one knows.
The Indian tribes had no tradition
concerning the work, and regarded it
with superStitious reverence.

HE.iRT GIFTS.

Happy is the man who has that in
his soul which acts upon the detected
as April acts upon violet roots. Gifts
from the hand are silver and gold,
but the heart gives that which neither
silver nor gold can buy. To be full of
goodness, full of cheerfulness, full of
sympathy, full of helpful hope, causes
a man to carry blessings of which he
is himself as unconscious as a lamp is
in human life as stars move on dark
seas to bewildered mariners, or as the
sun wheels, bringing all the seasons
with him from the south.

Temperance is corporeal piety. 1t

In general, treachery, though at

The man who loves truth with

THEN AND NOW,

The word "tomboy." now applied
to rude young woman, formerly
meant rude young man or boy. Fur
long was at first furrow long, or the
distance that Il pair of oxen would
pillow in half an hour. Shrewd once
signitied evil or wicked. Thomas
Fuller used the expression "a shrewd
fellow meaning Il wicked man. The
word hoy den" now applied eXclu
sively to Il noisy young woman, form
erly denoted Il person of like character
but of either sex. Equivocation, Il
word now applied 20 any evasion, was
once understood to mean the calling
of diverse things by the same name.
Peck originally meant Il basket or re-
ceptacle for grain or other substance.
The expression at first had no refer
ence to size. To starve was once to
die any manner of death. Wycliffe's
sermons tell how "Christ starved on
the cross for the redemption of men"
Bombast once signitied the cotton
that was employed to stuff garments,
particularly the enormous trunk hose
worn in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. Acre once meant any field.
1t is still used with this significance
in allusion to burial grouud.

Be not dishcartcncd, brother,
Though weary the task you try;
Strength will come with the tOiIing,
You will finish ii by and by.
Then sweet i'll your ear at sunset,
When the days long course is run,
Will sound the voice of the Master,
And his word of peace, We'll done!''
Be not dishcartened, brother,
Though you lose your precious things
Though the gold you gained so slowly
Fly us on swilteSt wings.
There are better than earthly riches,
And loss is sometimes gain;
Wait for the Lords good hour,
When He'll make his meaning plain,
Be not dishcartcned, brother,
In the dark and lonesome day,
When the dearest and the trucst
From your arms are caught away.
The earth may be bare and silent,
But heaven is just before,
And the path leads up to the splendor
And the love in its open door.
Be not disheartened, brother,
However you may fare,
For here It's the pilgrims portion,
But the song and feast are there;
There, i'll the dear Lords presence,
There, i'll the halls of home,
You will one day hear H i'm cal! you,
And cry with joy, II GOMEZ"
Be not disheartened. brother.
For every step of the road
Is under the eye of the Father,
Who measures the weight of the load.
He cares for the tiny SparrOws,
And how much more for you?
Look up, and never doubt Him,
His promises all are true.

took place in Il large public building
when some uuthiukinG person raised

Amidst the confusion and terror Il
