LULLABY OF THE DROWNED

Sleep and dream in the swinging tides,
Mcrmaids shall sing yo a lullaby
Down, far down, are the plains of oo2e,
High overhead the ships go by;
But what care Ne who have won the rest
Here where the endless currents sigh?
"Sleep and dream i'm the swinging tides,
Hear yc the voice of the calling moon
Murmur of waves tnat answer her
In one untiriEg, endless Groom?
Back and forth the great Moon-Mother
Rocks the tides that the dead may
sWCOn--
"Swoon to sleep and to dreaming visions
Caves of coral ana floors of sold,
Fins of silver that fash aud quiv6r
over the treasures the sea nymps hold
And the hand of a nYmph to clasp forever
Ger silken weed by the waves unroll2d
"Sleep and dream I'm the swinging tides
Close to the heart of the lavish Deep.
Hear ye the music that family fingers,
The voice that still through your
dreams may creep?
Hark! 'Tis the voice Of the great Moon
Mother
Rocking the tides that the dead may
sleep

triumph. My hatred was in a fair way

chance, if l left him alone, was to con-

squire communicate with the bank.

a sort of half-sob. Then he flung his

old George! You have always been
good to me. I know you will save me.'
Good TO him! I had always hated
him, But there was something l could
not stand in his utter confidence in me,
in the touch of his Clinging arms and
the recollection of the hundred times
he had clung in like fashion before.
Something in my heart seemed to
give way; I pushed him back, and ac-

and then straightway went out and set

RAILROAD CARS.
What Some of Them Cost and What
They Weigh.


An ordinary passenger car on a
steam railroad costs from $4,000 to
$1,000 and weighs $4,000 pounds. or
nineteen tons. A mail car, which costs
from $1,000 to s., 800 and is shorter by
about One-quarter than the ordinary
passenger coach, weighs about $1,000
pounds or sixteen tons. A baggage
car. without the baggage in it, weighs
$4,000 pounds. fourteen tons, and costs
about as much as a mail car. A sleep
ing ear, with observatory attachments,
literary annex and culinary depart
ment, costs anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000. The average weight of a
sleeping car is from twenty to twenty
two trains.
A full train in motion, as a little fig
uring will show, is no light affair. The
ordinary weight of the railroad loco
motive, for passenger service. inclu-
sive Of tender but not of fuel in the
tender, is forty tons. One baggage
cars weighs fourteen tons and one mail
car sixteen tons. bringing up tie
weight of the locomotive and the bag
gage and mails cars to seventy tons.
Six passenger cars at an average Of
nineteen tons, weight Of baggage. Of
fuel carried, weight of a train made
up of locomotive and eight cars would
be 1874 tons of 900 pounds, exclusive
Of the passenger and mail matter.
Pulling 1S4 tons along rails at the
rate OF fifty miles an hour or more is
| an achievement which has not been
| easily brought about, and the more
| the problem is studied the more clear
| ~ it is understood how far the
| mechanical work on railroads has been
| pushed There We're by the last fig
ures reported $4,000 locomotives in Use
on the American railroads. $4,000 pas
| sengcr cars and 5000 mail and baggage
! cars. These figures seem large until
| compared with the number of freight
| cars in use on American railroads, and
| then they seem insignificant. for the
| number of freight cars in use is l,2j0,-
| 900
| Freight cars among the railroad men
| are divided into four Classes-tlat ears.
| such as are used for the transportation
| of stone, machinery and lumber box
| cars, such as are used for the trans
| portation of grain. fruit and ordinary
| merchandise; stock ears, such as are
! used for the transportation of lie
stock and ears which are used for coal
| and oil-thOse used for oil being SUP
| piled with tanks. The average
weight of Hat or gondola car is seven
tons The car costs from $500 to 500.
Box ears weigh "A ton more and cost
| 800 more each. stock cars weigh
eight tons each on the average; coal
cars weigh three tons each. 1t cos's
about $500 to build coal or oil cars,
and they are designed to carry five
tons apiece, The weight Of fifty coal
cars is $50 tons, and their contents, if
all filled, 25O tons, which, with locOmo-
tive and caboose added, makes 240 tons
as the weight of a train. 1t may he
added, roughly that the weight of load
ed trains, passenger, coal or freight,
ranges from 200 to $50 tons. The light .
er the train the greater the speed ;
that's the railroad rule.

THE IDEAL LAWYER.


THE IDEAL LAWYER.
For your example let me commend
the ideal of the good lawNer-l do not
say the great, but the good laWyer-an
ideal that has been realized in the life
of every substantial city and court
house town, especially in the Older
neighborhoOds; a man of kindly ana
benignant disposition, friendly allEe
with his well-to-do and his poorer fel-
W-townSmcn' acquainted with their
habits and individual history, and with
a. pretty accurate notion of their Opin-
ions and prejudices, as well as Of their
WAYS and means; genial and SOciaDle,
vet dignified and selt~contained; OF
staid and comfortable appearance; in
manner alert. in conversation always
moderate and respectful; shreWd in his
observations: wise, but with perennial
humor and love of pleasantly; as
citizen always concerned and active
in the interests of his town, his state,
and his country; not an asitator, nor
perpetual fautfnder nor giving out the
intimation that he is better or wiser
than Others; but ready to confer to ad-
! Just TO agree, to get the best possible
| if not the utmost that is desir-
able. to him the people turn IN
| local emergencies for guidance and
counsel on their public affairs,
even partnership fearing not to trust

all cause of offense that there is no
| tongue to lay a word against his pure
| integrity; too disnided and respectable
| to tempt familiarity; too genial and

ing the priceless value of that system
of law and justice which is the heritage

As the characters of the members Of

SOUND ADVICE TO
STUDENTS OF LAW
THE ATTORNEYS DUTY TO THE
COMMUNITY.
Some Suggestions and Admonitions
Presented by Attorney General
Griggs in His Recent Address to
the Graduates of the Yale Law
School

Gentlemen of the graduating class:
| commend to you the cultivation of a
spirit that will enable you to take a
healthy. sound, and cheerful view of
the struggles and movements of soci-
ETY., of law, and of government, belev-
ing that their tendency is toward i'm
provement, not deterioration.
1t is a common error to suppose that
the court room is the only place where
the lawyers talents are employed or
their potency felt. They are the skilled
directors now of the great business and
commerce of the world; not in "a me-
chanical or commercial sense. but in
a legal way, as guides and advisers. II
Is better to instruct your client how "a
avoid trouble and litigation than to
help him come successfully out of it
The business man who waits for the
lawyers advice upon matters which he
does not understand himself until he
has got into a lawsuit, is as improvi-
dent as he who insures his building
after the fire.
