Barry, the st. Bernard.

The hospitality and untiring human
ity Of tie monks of the convent of st.
Bernard have lorg been famous; and
the fidelity and sagacity of their we'll
known breed of dogs, kept by them to
assist them in their labors, have long
been equally celebrated.
The most noted Of all the dogs, that
have lived and striven and died in the
service OF the monks was named Barry.
This faithful creature served the hospi-
tai for the period Of twelve years, and
during that time he saved the lives of no
less than forty persons. His zeal was
unconqueIable. 1t was his custom,
after heavy fall of snow, to set out by
himself in search of lost travellers. He
would run along, barking at the top Of
his lungs, until he was entirely out of
breath, when he would often fall over
in the snow from sheer exhaustion.
No place was too Ierilous for him TO
venture into, and when he found, as he
sometimes did, that his own strength
was insufficient to draw from the snow
a traveller benumbed by the cold, be
would Immediately hurry off to the hos.
pital to fetch the monks.
One day Barry found a child frozen

Cream Candies.

The first requisite for good sweets or
bonbons, says the London Lady, is
foundation cream; and this is how to
make it: To pint of granulated sugar
allow half a pint of water; place them
on the back of the range in a bright tin
basin until the sugar has nearly dis
solved. shaking occasionally to assist
the process; bring forward and boil.
skimming off whatever impurities rise
to the surface without disturbing the
syrup. When it has boiled ten minutes,
test the syrup by allowing it to run
slowly from the end of spoon. 1t will
soon drip in elongated drops and, finally,
a long fine thread will float from the end
of the spoon. As soon as this appears,
remove from the fire and set in pan of
water, and allow it to partially cool.
While at sixty degrees begin to work it
with stout spoon; should the syrup be
boiled too long. a crust will have formed
on the op, which may be removed be-
fore stirring. When cooled exactly right,
the surface is covered with thin skin.
When the syrup thickens and whitens,
add pinch of cream of tartar; beat
again until thick enough to handle.
then work with the hands; add any
favoripg desired. If cooled too long,
the cream will grain" and become dry
and hard, while with too little cooling it
can not be moulded.
Cocoanut Bals.-Flavor a portion of
the foundation cream with vanilla, and
work in a little desiccated cocoanut;
form into small balls and set in a cool
place for little time; moisten each
slightly with beaten white of eggs-a
brush is excellent for this purpose-then
roll in grated cocoanut, and set in a
cool place till firm.
Fig Strips.-Chop few figs, and cook
with little water and sugar until they
become thick paste. Make small sheet
of the cream, spead with the fig paste
which should be cold; cover with an
other sheet Of the cream. press together
well, and cut in short strips or squa g.
Dreamed Almonds. Flavor the cream
with almond extract and form into small
cubes. Press an almond into the center
OF each, and roll in coarse sugar, or in
chopped almonds, as preferred. 1t is
customary to use the almonds without
bleaching, as the flavor is finer.
Chocolate Cocoanut.- Chocolate &C.
coanuts are made with little desiccated
cocoanut worked into the cream. which
is moulded into oblopg shapes. then
rolled into chocolate. Other chocolates
contain walnut kernels, always almonds
or filberts.

The Buried City of Copan.

In 1891 the Peabody M oseum, through
the efforts of Mr.. Charles p Bowditch,
acquired the care of the antiquities of
Hond dras from the government of that
country for the period of ten years. with
the right of taking away one-half of the
objects found in the excavations. 1t
was planned to send an expedition to
Copan during the dry season of each
year, and to further this purpose COM
mittee was appointed, consisting of Mr..
Charles P. Bowditch, Mr.. Francis g..
Lowell, and Professor F. W. Putnam,
curator of the museum. The first ex-
position was sent out in 1891. The work
of this and of subsequent expeditions
has been rich in results, but l can only
outline briefly what they have accom-
plished, after saying few words about
Copan itself.
In the central part of the ruins Of
Copan are the great pyramidal founda-
tions on which the temples arose. The
main structure, vast irregular pile.
rising from plain in steps and terraces,
and terminating in huge terraced elevs-
tione, each topped by the remains of a
temple. The summit of the highest of
these is about one hundred and thirty
feet above the level of the river which
laps the foundations of the fallen struc-
turee. Only the foundations and parts
of the lower walls of the temples now
remain in position, and these are marked
with many hieroglyphic Inscriptions.
Surrounding the temples and palaces to
the distance of mile or more ON every
side are the remains of stone houses,
probably the dwellings Of the mobiles
and Weather citizens. and beyond
these are found innumerable stone
foundations without any remains of
uperstructure. 1t is copjectured that
on these stood wooden houses, the
dwellings of the poorer classes. of which
every trace has disappeared. Harper S

WHEN THE TRUE POET COMES

When the true poet comes, how. shall we
know him2
BY what clear token; manners, language,
dress2
Or will voice from heaven speak. and
show him
Him the swift healer of the earth's dis
tress.
Tell us, that when the long expected comes
At last, with mirth, and melody, and
singing,
We him may greet with banners, beat of
drums,
Welcome of men and maids and joybells
ringing;
And, for this poet of ours,
Laurel and flowers.
Thus shall We know him, this shall be his
token
Manners like other men, an unstrange
gear;
His speech not musical but harsh and
broken
Will sound first, each line driven
spear.
For he will sing as in the centuries olden,
Before mankind it's earliest fire forgot
Yet who so listens long hears music
golden.
How shall We know hima Ye shall know
him not
Till, ended hate and scorn,
To the grave he's borne.

The Tortoise at the Zoo.

The British Weekly has something to
say about giant tortoise which Mr..
Walter Rothschild has purchased for
England. and which is now installed at
the Geological Gardens. London. more
Familiarity known as the Zoo. Mr.. Wal
ter Rothschild is one of the best know
geological collectors in the world; his
fathers park at Tripg. with its kanga-
roos and OTHER strange creatures, is a
geological garden in itself. The tortoise
is most valuable gift. for it is the old
est living creature in the world. ut is
one of the giant tortoises of Aldabrs,
sufficiently remarkable for its size. for
it weighs quarter of ton, but even
more remarkabls from the record of it's
age" 1t is known to have lived at least
one hundred and fifty years. In 1910.
when the island of Mauritius was coded
by Great Britain to France, this tortoise
Was mentioned in the treaty. No one
can tell how long it lived before its
transportation to Mauritiue. Its pros,
poets of longevity are excellent, for, as
the writer in the Spectator reminds us,
there 10 hardly any way in which it could
be killed. Its structure saves it from
the wearing process involved in ordinary
breathing. The lucky tortoise can go a
long while without food. suffering no
perceptible inconvenience. He leads a
quiet life, never fights, never gets out
of temper, but peacefully dreams his
years away. Young tortoises often be-
come the prey of eagles. which carry
them up to heights and dash them down
on rocks, thereby smashing their shells.
But when tortoise weighs quarter of
a ton. its death can only take place by
accident, such as falling over precipice.
The new inhabitant of the Zoo may see
the twentieth century out and several
centuries after it. He and Macaulay'e
New Zealander may mourn together
over the ruins of London.

The Pine and the Flax.

Just where the forest ended grew q
pinetree. taller and more beautiful than
all the others in the forest. 1t had room
there to send out it's beautiful branches;
and it grew straight and tall, so that one
could see it from far away. At the foot
of the pine-tree the grain-ield began.
Here the farmer sowed fax. and almost
under the shadow of the great pine tree
there came up slender green plant.
The pine was very fond of it. Often
they talked together. and promised that
they would always be friends.
"How foolish you are! eaid the other
trees to the pine. "The fax is such
weak, tiny thing! Why do you not
choose a friend like yourself?"
But the pine was loyal to the fax.
"You must be very silly" said the rude
weeds to the fax, Ito think your friend
ship is worth anything to the pine tree.
You are not very wise or very strong,
and some day you may be sorry that you
did not listen to US"
II shall trust the pine-tree, SAID the
flax.
Now the day came when the fax was
pulled up. and made into linen cloth.
Men came. too. and cut down the pine.
tree, and dragged it away.
"That was fine friendship" said the
weeds to the trees. "Now they will new
er see each other again."
But the pine and fax did not forget.
In the city by the sea there lay great
ship. The pine was one Of the masts.
and at it's top there waved flag. The
mast was proud of its place. but the
ship could not stir yet. Then there
came great white cloth: that was a
sail. 1t chung to the mast, and spread
itself out like great wing. Into it's
soft curves the wind crept. and now the
ship was eager to be off. The sail was
made of the linen from the flax plant,
and the two faithful friends olasped
hands gladly. Out over the dancing
blue waves they went into the new life
beyond.
who could have believed it?" said
the forest trees to the weeds, when the
wind whispered it to them.
But the pine-tree and the fax had be-
lieved it. for they believed each other

THE BOYS AND THE BIRDS.

Our boys went into partnership with
the birds one spring to help them build
their nests. They put certain materials
within their reach and watched the re-
suits. Some colored strings, torn strips
of cloth, or cotton batting were placed
outside, and the birds we're not long in
finding them. A pair of yellow warbers
found some of the cotton and began
snowwhite home in the small fork of
Towering shrub. This nest was very
easily watched, and when the birds be-
gan to line it, a bunch of pure white
horsehair was placed at their disposal.
The result was one of the prettiest nests
imaginable, for every bit of it was as

the dye, or was it that the white mater.

The catbirds delighted in bits of

an inch in width. Such nonsense as II

etc., would be printed upon both sidee.
and frequently the results were very
comical. Visitors would be quietly
guided to the nests and allowed to read
the notices of the respective houses. A
laugh was sure to follow, and then the
remark, THE boys stuck that there. of
course"
The boys. however. merely furnished
the materials, which the birds utilized
to suit themselves, and trifling as the
amusement may have been, it helped
the birds to build. and, best of all, it got
the boys so interested in the fun that not
an egg or nest was ever molested.
Other boys may find plenty of harmless
amusement in trying the same simple
experiments. Animal Friends.

He began at once to lick him, and hav-

himself to his body. In this way he
managed to carry the poor little wretch
t. the hospital.
When he became too old to get about,
the Prior of the Convent, by way of re-
ward, pensioned him at Berney, and
after his death his skin was stuffed and
placed in the museum Of that town,
where it is still preserved.

he found exhausted in the snow on the

you? Is there anything at all you
fancy?"
He was too weak to speak aloud, but
she fancied she caught his family whis-
pered answer-"Pumpkin pie"
Thinking she must be mistaken, she
repeated her question.
Pumpkin pie he whispered, and the
effort exhausted him utterly.
She sought the surgeon. doctor, you
say there is no possible chance for No.

None whatever. madame. He will be
dead in twenty-four hours.
HE wants pumpkin pie!'
The surgeon laughed. IA queer
fancy for dying man. But nothing
can hurt him now; it can only hasten
his death by few hours"
"Thep, doctor, No. 81 shall have his
last wish. I'm going home this very
minute and make that pumpkin pie
myself"
The next morning when Mrs. Harris
entered the hospital it was with heavy
heart. OF course No. q was dead.
"Good morning, doctor. How are the
sick?"
"Well, madame, No. q for one is bet
ter"
"You don't mean it?"
"But l do. though. and he is asking
for more pumpkin pie"
MAY I let him have it?"
my dear Mrs. Harris, after this you
may feed him on thistles-give him

With light heart No. 27's nurse
sought his bedside.
"Well. my son, how do you feel this
morning?"
Better, ma'am. Can / have some
pumpkin pie?"
The voice was weak, but there was in
il note of strength which had been
absent the day before. His skin was
moist, his eye clear--decidedly No. 27
was better.
II can have it. can't l ma'am?" his
voice quaveripg with anxious expect
ancy.
my boy I'll send you one directly.
But be careful. Don't eat too much at
a time"
A ghost of smile played about his
pale. shrnnken lips as he replied: &" I'll
try, ma'am."
Not very long afterward Tidy entered
the hospital all a-giggle, bearing the
pumpkin pie. Again he ate greedily,
and again fell into refreshing sleep.
So the boy from Maine got well
and he always declared that if it had
not been for those pumpkin pies he
surely must have died! His gratitude
to Mrs. Harris and the love he bore for
the sweet rebel lady who had done so
much for him were too great to be ex-
pressed in the limited language at the
command of the boy from the back
