INTERPRETATION.

Ne long for peace that is lasting,
We plead for rapture that's rare,
Like fishermen ceaselessly casting
Their nets in the gulf of despair.
We draw from deep waters of sorrow
Dark wrecks of old failure and fear,
And out of sea silence we borrow
The storm that will never come near.
Faith speeds past the footsteps of duty
And lialts at the door OF tomb;
Thought pierces the source of all beauty
And returns unto dust-'tis the doom
vi each man child t. strive and to wonder,
10 plan for some positive gain,
And only find mysteries under
All life, be it pleasure or pain.
Lo, in realms of the mind there is treasure
For toilers who dwell in content;
There is truth that no science can measure,
And the fearless are never forspent;
There IS light when earth shadows are falling
There's reward for the deeds that are done
Where envy crowned virtues are calling,
Through faith is thy victory wont"

CAR FARES IN GERMANY.
The Method of Collection and In.
spection Prevents Free Rides,

spection Prevents Free Rides.
The chances of evading fares on the
street cars of German cities are very
Slight. When passenger steps on a
car, the conductor Immediately asks
where he is going and then prepares
his ticket, which serves also as a re-
ceipt for the fare The preparation of
a ticket consists only in detaching it
from a block and punching it or mark
ing it with a pencil.
This process involves much more
work than the simple process of ring
ing up the fares, as conductors do in
America, but the task is lightened by
the fact that only certain number of
persons are permitted to ride on car
at the same time. The number of sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked on each car. If a car is de-
signed to carry 80 persons, no more
than 30 persons will be permitted on
that car at the same time When any
thing in Germany is forbidden, it is
settled once for ALL
IN order that every person who rides
shall get the prescribed ticket inspect
ors are employed who spend their time
in ascertaining whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These inspectors
step into the cars and ask the passen-
gers for their tickets. They note the
number of the tickets and whether they
correspond with the stubs retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
out the blocks of tickets to the con-
ductors notes the number of the upper
most ticket and at the return of each
block collects from the conductor who
returned it as many fares as there are
tickets detached.
The rate of fares varies from 21h
cents to 5, according to the distance
Small children are carried for one-half
fare, and any one for the sum of $3.50
may secure ticket which entities him
to ride as mach as he wishes for one
month. When car is full, the con-
ductor displays a placard bearing the
word occupied. Chicago Record.

The Best Age For Men to Marry.

Edward Box, writing in The Ladies'
Home Journal on "a Boy For Hus-
band" contends that mo young man
under % years of age is in any sense
competent to take unto himself a wife.
Before that age he is simply q boy who
has absolutely nothing which he can
offer to girl as Il safe fundation for
life happiness. He is Uniformed in his
character, unsettled in his ideas, alb
soiutely ignorant of the first essentials
of what consideration or love for a
woman means. He doesn't know him
self, let alone knowing a woman. He
is full of fancies, and it is his boyish
nature to fit from one fancy to an
other.
''He is incapable of the affection up
on which love is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know what
the feeling or even the word means.
He is full of theories, each one of
which, when he comes to put it into
practice, will fail. He is a boy pure
and simple, passing through that try
ing period through which every boy
must pass before he becomes a man.
But that period is not the marrying
time. For as his opinions Of life are
to change, so are his fancies of the
girl he esteems as the only girl in the
world to make him happy. The man
Of 80 rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he was 90"

Bank Washing Day.

In some banks there is a regular
WaShday every month, usually at the
beginning, when a clerk may be seen
bent over a tub and rubbing real mon
ey up and down washboard. The
dirty greenbacks that have been saved
up for month are soaped and rub
bed just like handkerchiefs and socks
and are run through wringer before
being put out to dry. The paper cur
rency may be handled somewhat
roughly, as it does not tear because
there is in it a great deal of silk and
linen. After the notes have been
passed through the wringer they are
hung on a line stretched in the bank
clerks department. Said one clerk
the other day: Il wash about 100 notes
every month, and when Pm done you
can hardly tell them from new money.
| The washing strengthens as well as
cleans the notes." -Philadelphia Rec
