ARLINGTON.
Our Reverence for the Soldier Dead.

In all this great round world OF beautiful
scenes and magnificent distances, there is
no place that appeals to the widow, the son,
great National Cemetery at Arlington.
There they lie dreaming. will not call
them dead, for they are only sleeping
Through the long mists Of 40 Winters and
Summers their sacred memories have lived
within our hearts, and there will they re-
main, enshrined, until time is no longer
We, who are of the aftermath; we, whose
hearts throb for them, will go down from
century to century. We pay them here
our highest tribute. Soon again the green
earth will raise above them a soft and
tender mantle of verdure; once more the
mellow voice of Spring comes to warm the
frozen heart of Mother Earth. Anon the
tremulous hand of age will carry it's tribute
to their tomb, and the piping voice of child
hood will outrival the song bird in sound
ing their praises; but this is, after all, only
the outward and symbolical sign, for it is
within our heart of hearts that we have
raised their shrine, where we shall render
tribute eternally.
And what of Arlingtoni Our country
is filled with Arlingtons. Every day the
roll-call is sounding the last muster 10 arms,
and some new recruit is added to that vast
army invading the unknown realm whence
none return. The measured tread of the
G "A X, as 1t slowly files Its way To some
final retreat, finds an echo in every patriotic
Soul. 1t is not only here, but everywhere;
even at the raising of one flag above the
solitary tomb in the merest hamlet, does
that tomb become our Arlington"
Mother, do not weep for the son whose
name has been numbered among the miss
ing for 40 years; wives, forget the hunger
pangs of your husband, if you can; sweet
heart, he is peacefully sleeping, though you
know not the spot; wife, mother, sweetheart,
remember that they will have their "Arling-
ton" always.

But what shall we say of her?

How Luck Runs in Alaska.
AinsLee'S Ndlasine.

At first sight it would seem that good
luck might fall TO any man, but the
reality runs much the other way. The man
Of quick intelligence, Of Judgment and de-
cision is not the man who ordinarily
achieves this sudden wealth. 1t is the
man who is too stupid to know the risks he
is taking, and it is the reckless man who
plungeS wildly and misses no desperate
chance, who seem favorites of the God of
Chance Nor do all good luck stories have
pleasant endings. Often after the pile"
is made, accident fiseiise or death steps i'm
to prevent its legitimate enjoyment. One
man dropped dead when at the weighing of
the first cleanup he found himself rich
man. There was something wrong with
his heart. He had the physical strength
TO make the fight against bad food and
water, to endure the back-breaking toll of
developing and working out, and all the
strain Of the uncertainty that went before.
The supreme moment of success was more
than he could stand, and the use of the gold
passed from him with its requirement.
a certain James Meade lay down with
typhoid fever in an outlying camp just rs
he was starting for home with the accumu-
lations of the year, and he and his bag of
dust entered Dawson together on litter.
II took six men TO bring him in-altcr-
mating four to carry and two to rest-and
he paid each man S15 a day. Once in
Dawson Meade seemed to grow better, and
when his sailing day came he walked To the
boat. He reached the wharf and fell dead
as lie was Ghout to go abroad.

Painting a Railroad Car in 10 Minutes

A number OF American railways now
paint all their cars by machinery, and the
apparatus used is very curious and in
tereSting. The paint is first mixed to
about the consistency Of cream, and then
poured into a small steel tank connected
with a reservoir containing compressed air
When the valve is opened the stuff is forced
up into u flexible tube about rs big round as
a mans thumb, and comes out of a brass
nozzle in the form Of fan spray, thin as a
knife blade. All the operator has to do is
10 wave the nozzle to and fro, using il
exactly like brush. The spray at the top
is not more than an inch broad. so if he
wants narrow stroke he has merely to
bring il near, and vice versa for wide one
1t is claimed that the apparatus deposits Il
paint film Of exactly the same thickness
throughout, which it is of course impos-
siblc TO do with brush. and that its work
is consequently more durable and a better
protection from the weather. Be that as
it may, there is no denying its superior
speed. The rapidity with which painters
using compressed air work is marvellous
They stand on movable platforms, which
are pulled forward and back before the
cars, and then literally paint them on the
run. The time occupied for each, aver
ages about l5 minutes, and the men claim
that they can even do an entire car in 10 at
