An American Arctic City.

A correspondent Of the Spokane

account of that singular town, which
has grown up out Of the rush Of gold
miners to the Yukon River. and which
derives its name from the fact that 1t Is
within the Arctic circle. Perhaps no
town, inhabited by civilized people. was
ever built before in so remote and mac

In which she may store her wheel until
the springtlme comes again, simply
pawns 1t. The Mont de Piete" affords
an cffectual and inexpensive means Of
storing ones bicycle when not required
for use. Effectual, because the insti-
tuition is under State control, and the
authorities bind themselves to keep the
machine safely; inexpensive, because
the cost of storage for four months is
only two to three francs. Lucky peO-
pie, those Parlsians, to be able to house
their wheels on such terms.

Profit from Waste.

A novel scheme has been adopted in
the public schools of Brussels. Some
time ago the teachers requested the
children to collect and bring to school
such apparently useless articles, found
on the streets, as metallic bottle cap
sules, tin foil. old paint tubes, and any
refuse metals. In ten months the joint
weight. Out of the proceeds of this
apparent rubbish five hundred children
were completely clothed, and fifty sick
ones sent to convalescent homes while
there was a balance which went to the
sick poor The scheme has been so sue
cessful that it is being adopted in other
towns on the continent

A sLuMesR SONG.

Baby, you stand by gate that leads
Into land of dreams;
There's a drowsy watchman here wht
heeds
Never the stra aggling CLEANS
OF light that stray from the far-oh sun
Always for him its twinkling begun
And we stand by the gate
And watch and wait,
And watch-and waitl
Little one, hear whnt the stream sings o'
Here in this quiet land;
1t sings of the joy Of mother love
Sings to birds in the sand
To the strange, tall birds, with dreamy
eyes,
That look at you. dear, in mute surprise,
While we stand by the gate,
And watch and wait,
And watch-and waitl
If you open the gate NO one will know;
The guard will never guess.
You must open it gently, slowly-so,
No one has heard, unless
Those dreamful birds, or the dreamiand
sheep,
Heard YOU stealing through their land Of
sleep
While stood by the gate.
To watch and wait,
And watch-and walt!
Oh. strange are the birds and the sheep
that dwell
Here in the land of dreams,
But you must not see, and you must no'
tell.
However strange it seems,
Or they'll never let you in again,
And it would not please You, baby, then,
just to stand by the gate,
And watch and wait,
And watch-and wait!
