THE WHITE MANS suRr EN-.

The following poem by Rudyard Kip
ling appeared In McClure's Magazine
for February. 1t has attracted grea
deal Of attention and several parOdies
upon 1t have appeared in various pub
licatlons:
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best we breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
~, TO serve your captives' need;
On fluttered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
~ An hundred times made plain.
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fiji full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal Is nearest
(The end for others soughD
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter
The roads ye shall not tread.
Go. make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Mans burden,
And reap his old reward
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard
The cry of hosts ye humor
tAh. slowlyD toward the iight:--
why brought We us from bondage
Our loved Egyptian night?'
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to less
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your WEAKNESS.
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do.
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden!
Have done with childish days
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudgeo praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold. edged with dear-bought wisdom.
The judgment of your peers.

Moreover, the liver selects all the in

The World F Famous "Bridge of Sigh" is in
Danger of Collapse.

The most fascinating structure in
the world, "The Bridge of Sighs" of
Venice, is in danger OF collapse.
Unless the slow-moving Italian gov
ernment officials take some quick steps
to save it, the stone arch which poets
and novelists have immortalized for
centuries may fall and disappear in
the dark waters of the canal which
it spans.
The walls of the Palace of the Doges,
on which one end of it rests, are
crumbling. So are those of its other
foundation, the walls of the adjoin
ing prison.
The Bridge of Sighs spans the Rio
della Paglia and connects the ducal
palace with the carceri or prisons.
The bridge dates from 1897. 1t is
graceful arch, 80 feet above the water,
enclosed at the sides and arched over
head. 1t contains two separate pas
sages, through which persons were led
for trial or judgment. 1t is in the rear
of the palace and hangs over the dark
waters of the narrow canal.
The poetic sentiment attached to the
bridge, which gave it the famous name
it still bears, arose from the BELIEF
that many political prisoner, inno-
cent of wrong-doing, was led over this
span and down into the dungeons be-
low, whence there was no escape. So
damp and foul are these cells that they
are called wells" Travellers in
search of the hideous always visit
them. Their gloom and horror have
been painted in words in Dickens
Pictures from Italy" Standing on
the Bridge of Signs, Byron wrote his
splendid poem on the rise and fall of
Venice.
That the stability of the foundations
of any great building in Venice should
cause anxiety is by no means remark
able 1t is known, of course. that the
medieval architects of Northern Italy
were men of extraordinary ability; but
their skill exhibited itself more in the
artistic than in the engineering side of
their profession.
In the latter branch they may al
most be looked upon as experimental
lists, and in view of the nature of the
soil of Venice the wonder is that their
structures have lasted five or six hun
dred years, especially when it is re-
mambered that they did not scruple to
add great weight in the way of SUI
perstructures to buildings which had
been erected for centuries without
STRENGTHENING the foundations.
This is probably the origin of the
