A Modern Miracle.

Springfield Qll) Letter in the st. Louis Republic.
We may look for David T. Littler to lead
off with one Of the munificent entertain
ments which have made his name a house
hold word in every corner of the state.
When Littler entertains there is sound of
revelry by night and all goes merry as a
marriage bell At his last reception to the
state officers and members of the assembly
there was a medieval feast; the boar's head
and the wassail bowl. Such profusion of
meat and drink had never before met the
hungry and thirsty legions of the state
house, even on a field night with the lobby
Eat and drink as they might there was
always enough and to spare The next day
Senator Littler met Bishop Seymour of the
Southern Illinois Episcopal diocese.
Bishop" said he, Il am a convert to
your belief in miracles"
'Ah, senator, said the bishop, 'I was
sure Ii would come. And since I am sure
1t was neither my eloquence nor arguments.
l may, without egotism, ask what has
wrought this change"
The senator rose tiptoe and whispered
in the bishops ear.
This morning." said he, II found that l
had three baskets of champagne left over
from last night
The good bishop was puzzled, and said
he could not see any connection between
champagne and miracles.
We'll, it's this way Littler replied. I'm
willing to admit 1t was possible to save sew
en- baskets of bread from that crowd in
Galilee when it's possible to save three bas-
kets of champagne from the Illinois legisla-
ture.n

A Hundred Years From Now.

And bears TO the eternal shore IT'S daily freight Of

Though bravely sails our Bark today. pale death

And few shall know we ever lived hundred years
from now. q
o, mighty human brotherhood! why fercely war
While Gods great world has ample space for every
thing alive?
Broad fields. uncultured and unclaimed, wait
OF progress that shall maker them bloom a hundred
years from now.
Why should we try earnestly in life's short mar
span
On golden stairs to climb 80 high above brother
man?
Why blindly at earthly shrine in slavish hom-
age bow?
Our gold viii rust, ourselves be dust, hundred
years from now.
o, patient heart, that meekly bears your weary
load Of wrongl
Or earnest heart. that brayey dares. and striving
grows more strongI
Press on TIL perfect peace Is won; you'll never
dream of how
You struggled o'er lIfe's thorny road. hundred
Grand, lofty souls who live and toll that Freedom

Alone may rule the universe for you is endless

When mid the blest with God you rest, the CRATE

Above your clay in rev'rsnt love. hundred years

"UntiI the Day Break"

A human soul went forth into the night,
Shutting behind it Deaths mysterious door,
And shaking of with strange, resistleSS might
The dust that once it
So swift its flight, so suddenly 1t sped
AS when by skillful hand a bow Is bent

Marked not the way it went.
Heavy with grief, their aching, tear-dimmed eyes

Or in what fair unfamiliar guise,
1t left the world of C q,
1t broke from sickness, that. with iron bands
Had bound it fast for many grievous dayi
And Love itself with its restraining hands
Might not its course delay. q

And touched eternity. =,
Out from the house of mourning family lit,

So far not Thought coulA follow 1t
Into those realms unknown.
Through the clear Silence ofthe nAoonless dark,
Leaving footprint of the road it tTUd,
Straight arrow ceavifsg to Its mark,
The soul went home to Goa. -

But fell asleep outWeaTfeI with the strife
Nay, rather, he arose and met the dawn

The Chinese ChODstfck.
ApPleton.s Popnlar Scienee Monthlr.

From ApI'leton's Popular Science Monthly.
With the evidences of Asiatic contact SUM-
posed TO be so strong in Central America,
one might have imagined that so useful a
device as the simple ehopsticks would have
secured a footing. These two sticks. held
In one hand and known in China as hast
eners or nimble lads" are certainly the most
useful, the most economical and the most
efficient device for their purposes ever in
vented by man. Throughout that vast
Asian region. embracing d population of
oUoooo,OU0. the chopstick is used as a sub
stltute for fork, tongs and certain forms
OF tweezers. Even fish, omelet and cake
are separated with the chopsticks and the
COOK, the street scavenger and the watch
repalrer use this device in the form of iron.
long bamboo and delicate ivory.
The bamboo chopstick was kneWn in
China 1000 b. c., and shortly after this
date the ivory form was devised. Their
use Is one of great antiquity in japan. as
attested by references to 1t in the ancient
records OF that country. One may search
in vain for the trace of any object in the
nature of a chopstick in Central or south
America Knitting needles of wood are
found in the work baskets associated with
ancient Peruvian mummies, but the chop-
stick has not been found. Curious pottery
rests for the chopsticks are exhumed in
Japan, but even this enduring testimony of
its early use is yet to be revealed In this
country.

HAUNTED LONDON.
Many Queer and Uncanny Happenings
in That Great City.

From the London Mall
Backing on Hyde Park and fronting
Knightsbridge, right opposite the post Of
fee, Is a row of irregularly built shops,
which tradition says are haunted. They
are to be taken down before long, and the
windows of the shops are already well
pasted with labels announcing this fact.
1t has been said that Tyburn Ditch runs
beneath the houses, a statement hard to
believe, for Tyburn, confused often with
Marybourn, and very likely the same river
after it's junction with the latter cannot
run nearer Park Side than Lansdowne
House and the Green Park.
1t is conjectured that it gurgles in its un-
seen and hidden bed somewhere beneath or
close to Buckingham Palace, but after that
it runs down to Westminster, where 1t used
to form the delta of Thorney Island the
ground which the abbey was built by
Edward the Confessor and his SUCCESSORS
No single memorable specter is supposed
to stalk among these elderly houses in Park
Row: curious sounds, including the rushing
of an underground stream, the pulling aside
of curtains and the passage of invisible
persons up and down stairs. are the sum of
the uncanny carvings on of the spirits that
inha bit the part
Perhaps they are the uneasy wraiths of
those who once engaged in the concoction
spirits of the murdered victims of the foot
pads who once made Knightsbridge a dan
gerous thoroughfare. Maybe, at some time
or another, bodies done to death were
forced into the dreadful stream that still
flows beneath the terrace.
London Is intersected by such rivulets for
1t was once huge swamp, or morass, with
water courses, which in time became built
over or used as drains flowing in all direc-
tions.
If any part of the metropolis deserved be-
ing haunted 1t would be the other side of
the park, where Tyburn once reared its
dreadful gibbet. The place of execution
stood at the corner of the park where the
angie Of Connaught place now comes.
The tree was sometimes called the Three
legged Mare" because it was formed of a
triangle Of three legs To it the victims
We're taken upon cart, attached with a

There was no drop allowed to insure the

there Is recorded instance of the case of
one John Smith, for whom a reprieve came

stored, to the great admiration Of all be-

The Lighthouse.

High on the lifted island cliff
Its lantern fronts the sea,
And sendath forth fine straight ray
OF dazzling light to me
A slender line of shimmering shine
Across nights mystery.
1t is the path set for my eyes
To travel to the light
And warm their darkness in the blaze,
And he made glad and bright,
None other may catch just that ray,
Or have the self-same sight.
And yet, a hundred other eyes
Bent on that central blaze,
Find each its separate, shining path,
Its line of guiding rays;
And all eyes meet in concord sweet
By all these differing ways.
No voice shall say: The Light Is mine,
All other eyes are DIM
No hand the glory hold or hide
Which streams to oceans rim,
None claim or seize one ray as his
More than belongs to him.
