of Canada, situated at u point thirteen
hundred miles as the crow flies north
west OF ( cattle. 1t is close to, ii not

the better part of three hundred miles
nearer to the pole than does st. Peters

the mighty rivers of the globe hurries
its course to the ocean, but not too
swiftly to permit of sixteen hundred
miles of its lower waters being navi-
gated by craft of the size of nearly
the largest of the Mississippi steam
ers, and five hundred miles above by
craft of about half this size. In its
own particular world, the longest day
of the year drawls itself ont to twenty
two hours of sunlight, while the short
est contracts to the same length of
sun absence.
During the warmer days of summer
the heat fees almost tropical; the win
tar cold is, on the other hand, of al
most the extreme Siberian risor. Yet
a beautiful vegetation smiles not only
over the valleys, but on the hilltops,
the birds gambol in the thickets, and
the tiny mosquito, either here or near

Who loosened and lot down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this
Whose breath blew out the light within this
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and
gava
To have dominion over sea and land,
To trace the s.Js and search the heavens
for power;
To feel the passion OF Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped
the suns
And pilared the blue armament with light?
Down all the stretch Of He'll to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this
More tongued with censure OF the worlds

More filed with signs and portents for the
soul
More fraught with menace to universe.
What CULTS between him and tho seraphim!
Slave Of the wheel OF labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing OF Pleiadesp
What the long reaches Of the peaks OF song,
The rift OF dawn, the red reddening OF the
rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering

Through this dread shape humanity be-

Cries protest to the Judges Of the World,
A protest that is also prophecy.

Is this the handwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul

How will you ever straghten up this shane?
Give back the upward looking and the

Touch 1t again with Immortality;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perddious wrongs. immelicable woes?
o masters, lords and rulers In all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question in that

When whirlwlnds OF rebellion shake the

How will it be with kingdoms and with
kings
With those who shape him to the thing

When this dumb Terror shall reply to Goo
After the silence Of the centuries?

to Amuse Little Ikey.
Years ago, before the advent of the
electric cab the Pennsylvania railroad
station in Jersey City gloried in train
porter named Michael Hogan, who was
well known to all Jersey City in the
early '7Os, from Taylor's Hotel to the
Schutzen park. Hogan was rugged out
with brass buttons galore aud a drum
majors baton as a mark of authority.
He was tall and portly and his melo-
dious voice quite filed the dinky sta
ton OF those days.
One day-he had just called way
train-there appeared unto him q
little woman, leading a diminutive
boy, who paintively asked:
''Say, meester, vat time does de
negst train go to Nooark, Moo Chair
sey?'
And Mike, in all the dignity of his
office, made response: "Th' mex train

Five minutes later he called another
train, local for the south: "Aal

ing the little boy, again approached
him, saying, very apologetically:
"Say, meester, Won't you please an
tell me ven de negst train goes to

Mike scowled at her, but feeling
her entire submission TO his author

Then he walked away. chatted with
the newsman. went out and appropri-

vender, and, returning, opened anoth-
Ell gate, and with his beautiful voice
announced: "Aal aborrd! aal abcrrd

felt the gentle touch of the little wom-
an on his arm, and his ears were
greeted by the now familiar question:
'Say, meester, vat time did you say
de negst train will leaf to Nooark, Moo
Chairsey?"
Mike was indignant. He brushed
the hand away, and Strengthening him.

O tremendous vogue" remarked an
artist to New Orleans Times-Demo-

first went to Paris. Sergeant, who is
probably the greatest master in his
special field that America has ever
produced, was just beginning to at
tract attention. He had painted a
portrait of his preoeptor. Durow. and
the stir it created led to his getting q
commission from Baron Rothschild.
1t was his tilst big job, but he went
about it with exactly the same non.
chalance that characterizes him at
present.
During the last sitting, when the
picture was receiving its finishing
touches, it CHANGED that one of the
Baron's ears became unusually red, q
circumstance probably due to the heat
of the room. Sergeant seized on it at
once as a good bit of color and made
the painted ear redder, if anything,
than the original. When Rothschild
inspected the portrait he was greatly
pleased.
"'But Of course he said, you will

Iron Chimneys.

Cast iron chimneys are now being
employed in some large buildings.
They are composed of six-feet lengths
of piping joined together and are built
in the brickwork. 1t is conteuded
that they are cheaper to construct and
are more economical. The iron takes
the heat more quickly than brick and
retains it better; hence less warmth is
required to be drawn mp the sha in
order to raise the temperature to
point that will permit the fire to throw
its heat into the room.
