The mission of the soul
What if our %yearnings cluster unful-

A TRIBUTE TO THE OLD SONGS.
Just some song that the heart will
understand,
Not chorus from the clouds or music
grand,
That swells from stars or from the far
sky flows,
Sing some sweet song the glad heart
feels and knows,
Struck from the little Tyre Of love to
speak,
Not the FAST secrets of the deep and
peak
That are but empty meanings, writ in
sand,
Sing some sweet song the heart can
understand.
The echo of the master dies away,
The grander song swells out it's little
day,
And dies upon the ear; the concord
wrought
OF muse and mystery eftsoon forgot,
The gilded harp is dull; the flaming
fire
Is cold, and only lives the little Tyre
OF love, simplicity and truth-the
And glorious song the heart can un-
derstand.
The sweet song that is linked with
the years,
It's notes writ in our hearts and in our
tears,
Its story in our lives. it's truth in
stone,
And ever old and never old. Alone
We hear it where the weird waves lisp
and flow
Where tropic zephyrs croon and north
winds blow,
The songs that know no tongue, or
cline or land,
The sweet song that our hearts can
understand.

RECOLLECTION

What if thy smile is only for a day,
A feeting glimpse of light, a passing
ray,
Mayst thou not look back happily, and
say:
"Ah, we'll! I smiled one day."
What if thy joy on swift wings pass
thee by,
From futures gloom and cloud and
tear and sign
Mayst thou not look back, happily,
and cry:
Joy, once I had thee by!"

Not where we hit, but where we aim,
Not place we reach, or height we rise,

Not what we gain but what we seek

MYSTERIES.
(FrOm the Persian,)

(From the Persian.)
A little span of breath spun like a
thread
Across a fearsome chasm, yawning
wide
Between a birt44 and bier, its swaying
length
Chung to in fear by myriads Of souls
All struggling on, from out the gloom
to gloom.
A thread Of breath forth floating
through the air
Bearing a soul from birth mysterious
To death unfathomable in the dark,
And shrinking souls that clasp and
cling in fear
Dreading the abysmal darkness down
beneath.
A soul, fearing to die, that breads to
live,
Swaying in agony 'twixt cliff and cliff,
Above a soundless void, and toiling on,
Faint breathing, lest the thread of
breath may snap,
Praying that death may end its fear
to die.
A web Of endless threads across a sea
whose moaning waters, rushing far
below,
Flow u~ninterpreted; and in the web
Confused souls, Unborn to life UNVEILED
Are caught and only breathe and
wonder why.
A sea that sobs, the sea of rayless
gloom,
To which they cry, but only great gulls
rise
From Deaths own cote, to fright them
in the dark,
And answer rises not but from the
depths
Comes only silence dread, and mys-
terry.
No sound but threads of. breath that
strain and snap,
Plunging their burdens down into the
Depths
Where blackness yawns and swallows
up the life
That chung to it's spent thread in dis
NAL fright,
Knowing, to be afraid; afraid to know.
A quaking mystery that treads a
thread
With steps unsteady, knows nor
whence nor where
Nor why, To- anything but that it's
span
Soon ends, and it must topple in the
gloom
Dread, dense and deep-and this is
Life and Death.

The Timfd Giraffe,

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds. but is Indifferent to loud
ones a writer in The Leisure Hour
says:
Noisy sounds like a man walking by
with hobnail boots it does not notice.
but lady coming in with hardly more
sound than the rustling of her dress
makes it start with pricked ears and
eyes distended.
We remember well after terrible
explosion of gunpowder on n barge on
the canal asking the keeper of the gi-
RATES. that day how they had taken il.
and he said he was surprised how very
little notice they took. They jumped
to their feet. but almost ut once lay
down again when they found nothing
happened.
But" he added. IF were at night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that
believe they would dash themselves to
bits"
They fear the lurking foe. and n big
bang scares them less than n faint. r,-S-
Ting sound. They are i'll that respect
very deerlike.

evidenced by the determination of the
farmers to finish the canal already par

of the enterprise but strong hearts
and willing hands have greatly made
up for the deficiency. The canal when
completed will be large enough to ir-

been completed for about five miles and
the excavation already made Is thirty

ADDING MACHINES.
Inventor. Arc uu.y In Dcvising Au-
tomptic Matbrmaticiaa..


There is unusual activity among in
ventors ut present In the effort to pro-
ducc machines for mathematical pur-
poses, and perhaps the largest number
of applications received ut the patent
office for any one line of invention
these days IL for patents for improve
ments upon adding machines. The
electric computcrs in use at the census
office have reached a higher degree Of
accuracy and speed than any other
automatic mathematicians. but there
are many other devices for making
computations already in use through
out the country which are being rapid
ly improved and even in their imper-
feet state are II great advantage where
large calculations are necessary.
For many years many attempts.
more or less successful, have been
made by inventors to devise what are
known as adding machines" said Com
missioner of Patents Duell in WASH
Ing the other day. but not until re-
Gently have such machines come into
general use. for the double reason that
they are easily thrown out of order
and cannot he repaired by the ordinary
mechanic. and, secondly. because they
are not accurate. especially in carrying
over from one denomina ton to another,
as from units to tens. tens to hundreds.
etc. Adding machines are now coming
into extensive use in banks. counting
houses and large business concerns
where long columns of figures are to
be recorded and added, and they serve
to make an expert accountant out of
any one who can become skilled in
manipulating the keys, for the ma
chine. even in it's present state of de-
velopment, is less liable to error than
the human brain. because 1t never gets
tired
1.-THE adding machine upon which
inventors are now working with con-
siderable activity is one in which the
number or unit types are set up by
means of keys in position for printing
Connected with these number types
are what are known as total number
wheels. which. when the number types
are restored to their position. continue
to move in the same direction until
all the numbers have been printed.
These total number wheels are moved
at each operation of the machine a
distance corresponding to the key
operated. so tn3t as soon as HI tne
separate numbers are printed one may
read of from the total number wheels
the sums of all the individually re-
corded numbers. thus frequently saw
ing n long and arduous mental calcula-
ton.
The earlier machines had many at
tachments that have been found to be
useless, and by emitting these invent
ors have made the present adding ma
chine comparatively simple 1t is now
their main effort to develop a machine
that will not make errors. This will
probably be accomplished by improv-
ing the apparatus mat prevents the in
ertia OF the overthrow movement at
the end of each operation. by keeping
the parts locked except during the in
slant of time that the operator is press
ing the key, and by protecting the
mechanism for transferring from one
denomination to anotheI."-Chicago
