Here the dead are not at home.
In the graveyards of the country
among the thick flowing underbrush
and the quiet of the wide fields, Is
better repose for us after our stormy
struggles. A cemetery thus situated
the center of far reaching horizons
inspires one with a desire to die. 10
lie down here and sleep seems good.
But most peaceful Of all are the realms
of the dead in marine villages, at the
edge of the sea. within sound OF the
lulling of the running waves which
sing an eternal song on the eternal
sleep amid the wall of the wind over
the ancient tombs.
One day about fifteen years ago |
entered one of these places of supreme
rest beside the waves on the Breton
coast, with its crosses pointing toward
heaven in way which makes one think
OF eternity. Beside a little old church,
beneath the shadow of a stone bell tur-
ret, slept the forefathers, who, whether
they had died in youth or in age, were
all made an equal part by accomplished
time. And there was no sadness In
this evidence of fatal death, but rather
happy relief in the thought that the

from the new, and a peace was made

crosses with outstretched arms, clear
cut against the green sea, standing in
their eternal attitude of forgiveness.

sometimes alighting on his head at
other times on his shoulders, all the

leaving him until he reaches the gar

The Pitch of Bells.

The secret OF success in casting
bells of large size for chimes or given
tones is in getting the thickness of the
ring just inside the mouth of the bell
exactly right. In preparing the mold
for a bell a eross-section of this ring,
or extra thickness, is made, and the
pitch of the bell depends almost alto
gether on the diameter and relative
thickness Of the ring thus laid out

The wider the circle of what we can
revere, the greater the measure of our
cwn life. AS the sentiment of rever-
ence grows in US, the richer life be-
comes, the wider the realm OF beauty,
and the more assured the conditions
of truth. What we cannot respect and
admire has for us nothing of worth.
When we see the beauty grandeur and
sublimity Of nature, it becomes to US
a priceless source of joy and pleasure.
When We find what there is loving,
noble and self-saerifcing in men, hui
manity becomes to us a constant source
of help and strength. Then we en-
ter into real sympathy with the world
around us, and we feel the true spirit
of brotherhood which binds us to all
our fellows. What we revere is what
we love, and is that which gives us the
grace to live as men. Loyalty OF soul

Steady nerves to the highest results
should be conjoined with clear con
science. Many have the first requisite,
but not the latter; while others have
the latter, but not the former. In
either case there is a proportionate
lack of power. He who has both es-
.sentials in proper relation, and in
happy adjustment, is best equipped
for the grandest accomplishments The
fact is they act and react upon each
other, being mutually incitiye and CO.
operative. The good nerves give the
power of performance, and the clear
conscience directs the energy in right
channels. The ability to do has the
superadded incentive of an inner NOR
al approval. "A clear conscience" or.
as the Bible has it, "a good con
science" is a conscience void Of Of
Tense toward God and man." 1t is
Gods viceregent in the soul. He who
obeys its dictates pursues noble ends
by noble methods. He becomes a
blessing to himself and to others. In
our busy, pushing, restless, ambitious
and struggling age there is no greater
need, both in state and church, than
of men of steady nerves and a clear
conscience.

RECORD BREAKING RUN.
Union Pacific Captures The Long Distance
Record.

Union Pacific Captures The Long Distance
Record.
The Union Pacific has added laurel
20 its wreath by record breaking run
from Ogden to Omaha. There was no
thought of attempting to make a
record until the train had reached
Cheyenne, one half the distance, when
circumstances developed which made
it necessary to hurry up. Orders were
given and the special was sent for
ward like the wind. There were some
stretches of the track where the regis
ter showed a speed of eighty miles an
hour, and many stretches of seventy
and seventytwo miles an hour One
piece of track of sixty miles was cover
ed in fifty-four minutes and another
stretch of thirty-six miles was travers
ed in thirty-two minutes.
The banner run, however, was be
tween North Platte and Omaha. The
distance is POI miles, and it was made
in 275 minutes. When it is considered
that the engineer had run through
from Ogden without rest this feat can
be figured upon.
The special slowed down four times
for gravel trains and twice on account
of slow track, caused by the recent
heavy rains. 1t stopped at Scuyler
for a friend and also at Fremont to
let him off, besides three stops for coal
and water.
In going into South Omaha the
train was slowed down at Avery's, out
of South Omaha.
"This run will take its place among
the historical runs of the United
States, and is cinching argument for
the fine condition of the Union Pacific
equipment and roadbed, as well as for
the efficiency of its employees.
