THE ROCKING CHAIR.

What would they do without it
That creaky old rocking-chair,
That stands in the nursery corner?
It's a treasure they couldn't spare.
For, excepting when mamma is rocking
The baby, who thinks it fun
Why, it isn't chair; it's a Dozen
A score of things all in one
It's coy family carriage,
With lamps and with trappings brave,
And little Johnnys the driver,
And Willy the footman grave.
It's a steam-car, going to Boston,
Under management somewhat queer,
For WHY'S the small conductor,
And Johnny's the engineer.
It's ferry boat crossing the river
On a dreadfully foggy day,
With tootings through paper trumpets,
And collisions upon the way.
It's steamer sailing the ocean,
A hundred miles from land,
And Johnnys the mate, with a spygass,
And Willy is in command
It's gallopng- horse. Would you think II l.?
1t has been a big balloon,
A-foating so lightly and gayly,
Way up to the sun and moon.
And the dreadfully creaky condition
That old rocking-chair is in,
Is because of the wonderful Journeys
And the manifold things it's been!

Private Loxton stared at him.

took it.
"Ill tell you why / came" he said,
"if you'll give me five minutes more.

grimly, bringing the rife butt thud-
ding to the ground.
And the padre began to speak. No
one will ever know what he said in
those five minutes. or what Private
LoXton said; ! don't think they quite
knew themselves. But when, at the
end, the padre held out his hand. Pri
vate Loxton took it, and gripped it
hard.

you. Get off home"
He took up the rife resting against
the tree. and. with the touch. the mad
light, which had partially died out
from his eyes, came into them again.
And still the padre stood there. His
ear had caught the far-off sound of
wheels. and he knew that Private LoX-
tons prey was drawing near. Private
Loxton heard it. too.
''Will you go?" he cried, his whole
body trembling with rage.
Not unless you come with me-" said
the padre, quietly.
The muzzle of the rife touched his
breast, and a quivering finger was on
the trigger. The sound of the wheels
was coming very near.
Il don't want to hurt you" snarled
Private Loxton. "Will you go?'
NO" said the padre.
Then he fell back at full length into
the underground, clutching at a
singed hole in his coat, while the re-
port still rang in the air, and thin
puff of smoke curled up among the
bamboo branches.

a feeble sort of way, for what seemed
hours, while the hushed voices spoke
beside him. Then he said, family:
Am ! going to die?"
The doctors voice was very low and
kind, and strove to be very reassur-
ing, but the padres brain was clear
enough now to understand that death
might be very near indeed.
Il think I'm strong enough to tell
you all about it," he murmured. And
they took down his deposition. There
was a long silence when he had fin,
ished, and then a whispered converse
ton. At last grave voice said: Its
my duty to tell you. sir, that if things
go wrong. the odds are YOU may die.
Knowing that, will you still swear it
was an accident?"
Yes" said the padre, firmly.
And then he tainted.

may be new to the gentry who profess to

munity: THE extent to which marble is
entering into the decoration of modern
buildings is but a repetition Of the history
OF Roman architecture. The fact is that
the old Roman jerry builders used defective
slabs OF marble in erecting residences to sell
at reduced rates. and covered up the defects
with cement Of which white wax formed
the chief ingredient. They looked just as
stately as the others. till an exceptionally
hot sun melted the wax and revealed the
fraud. Hence a perfect building was said
to be cine cera, or without wax and a

LOndOnS
From the London Express.
With the advent Of hot weather comes
the danger of Indulgence in ice cream.
Mr. A. H Head. correspondent to the East
Lambeth division Of board schools, has, In
accordance with instructions from his man.
ayers. notified local authorities of the ne
cessity of keeping a watchful eye on the
vendors of ice cream in South London.
In his communica ton he alleges that
considerable amount of sickness among
school children was attributable to the eat
ing of ice cream sold in the streets, that Is
Of very doubtful manufacture.
40 the manufacture of ice cream. as solo
in the streets. is practically confined to two
districts in London, namely, Saffron Hill
and Walworth. an Express reporter has
thoroughly investigated the allegations
made by Mr.. Head on behalf of the East
Lambeth school managers.
He was fortunate in being accorded the
assistance of DR.. Millson, medical officer Of
health for Newington vestry, in his investi-
cation.
Under the latter's wing. as 1t were. he
secured the purlieus of Walworth. and Wis
tied several houses in the growing Italian
colony that radiates from Wooster street
The horrible, unspeakable filth that per-
meates the district Is simply appalling. The
writer fancied he had previously seen the
worst Of London slumdom; but nothing in
London is comparable with the awfully di-
lapldated property in this district, which
belongs-strange to say-to the ecclesias1-
cal comm ssioners.
The doctor led the way direct to the rear
Of the first house we visited. The yard
measured some 10 feet by IA feet. Immedi-
ately contiguous to the open door of the
water closet were exposed a couple of gall
Ions of the ingredients of ice cream. There
is no exaggeration in saying that the nat
ural milky color had become khaki from
the thick layer of dust and refuse that COW
cred It, To the upper right-hand side of the
yard lay nearly a cart load of house refuse,
while to the left was pigeon house.
This was the worst and most inSanitary
case. But all of them are horrible.
In the next house we found the yard COM
paratively clean, but we went in the in
habitants went out and disappeared. After
some time a half-dresSed male came in. He
knew the doctor. The latter after consid-
cradle effort, induced him to show what ice
cream was in course Of manufacture.
To my CONSERVATION he took filthy
mUd-laden bag off a wooden utensil in
coat of dirt that rested on this was abso-
lutey nauseating to look on.
These facts / can vouch for as being
typical of the surroundings in which ice
cream is manufactured. But my experience
of the ingredients makes the stuff more alb
horrent and dangerous. I saw a basket Of
eggs, which j informed was to be util-
lied as the principal adjunct for tomor-
rows supply.
