GOBLlNS, GNoMEs AND ELVES.

Sou have road OF the fays and fairies. the
goblins, gaomes and elves?
ahey dwell here right among you. Why.
we are those folks ourselves;
The round-faced pudgy babies here in your
laps and homes,
We are the frolicsome fairies. the goblins
gay and gnomes.
Wis strange how people wonder and seek
both fast and far
For mysteries by the million which live
right where they are.
Good fairies watch DER mortals. their in
nocent ways and wiles.
Sow crops Of good intentions you harvest
In sheaves Of smiles;
They gladden. the poorest houses, bring
hope TO the poorest hearts,
And lend men inspiration TO triumph In
fields and marts
Don't we these things accomplish. when
babys magic touch
VIII brighten the poorest hovel and bless
its mOrtals much?
OF course we are full Of mischief, It's a
trait Of the gleesome elves.
But grown folks lean little to trouble
some ways themselves
We keep them alert and watchful, restrain
them from Over-sleep.
And sometimes even up matters by making
them ScOlC and weep,
But we later give full measure OF blessing
disguised in noise
Transmitting their brighter moments to
jubilees packed with joys.
Their work would flag and falter but for
babes enshrined at home;
We sometimes act as magnets, permitting
them not to roam.
We hold their hearts at the fireside when
their bodies are far away,
And we even make hard sinners remem-
Der their God and pray,
OF course we are mites but mighty. wee
folk but wOndrous strong,
For we turn TO psalms the signing, and
we turn the sobs to song.
Yes, We are the rays and fairies. the COB
Inns. gnomes and elves.
Combining all their witchcraft and willy
ways ourselves;
We work grand transformations, some
times by the midnight moon.
When papas waltz In "nighties' and trot
to a homemade tune.
Don't strain your eyes far-seeking for
hidden elves and charms.
Here are the wee folk nesting right In
your laps and arms.

RAILWAYS OF CHINA.
They Are Few In Number and Those
Are Mostly Controlled by
Foreigners.

China has few railways, the policy
of foreign exclusion so long in vogue
having prevented their construction,
SAYS the New York Sun. Most of the
lines In existence are In the region
which is now the scene of military
operations and of the depredations Of
the Boxers. A railway so miles long,
belonging to an English company, ex-
tends from the port Of Tientsin north
to Peking. At Fengtal, five miles
south Of PeltIng on this line. begins
the Belgian "Lu-Han" railway, which
extends southwest 7s miles to Paot-
inQfu, where the Boxers have been
particularly active. Both the English
and the Belgian lines have been large
ly destroyed by the rioters. From
Tientsin a railway extends PSI miles
eastward to Chenchou, and there are
branches aggregating 30 miles. Alto
gether the English system has 407
miles and the Belgian So. 1t Is the
former that is to be ultimately con-
nected with Moukden, In the Russian
sphere. where ii will connect with the
Siberian railway About 60 miles OF
the American Hankan-Peking line has
been graded, but work is now stopped.

THE LONE SENTRY.

On one occasion during the civil war the
confederate troops under Ger. Jackson
were forced TO a long and very farguing
march. On going into camp for the night
they were so exhausted that the entire
command fell upon the ground and were
soon sound asleep. Jackson was 20 moved
With pity by the condition OF his men that
he would not force anyone TO stand guard
and took that duty upon himself. The fol-
lowing lines were written IN commemora.

To guard the camp that night.
a grave and solemn man was he.
With deep and s0mhcr brow.
The dreamful eyes seemed boarding up
Some unaccomphshed vow.
A wistful glance prered er the plain,

INGENIOUS B0ATMEN.
Stone-Workers Out in Oregon Devise
a Boat which Pulls Itself

In 81. Nicholas Francis Ellington
Leupp describes An ingenious device
by which certain Oregon stone-work-
ers save themselves a deal OF unneces-
sary labor
Doubtless nearly every boy with q
taste for out-of-door sports, be says,
has made q boat which the wind or
the current would cause to float over
the surface of a pond. l have seen
some lads rig up RATS on which they
could themselves ride down a swift
flowing creek; and knew one, even,
who was clever enough to build
complete little steamboat. He could
light lamp under the little boiler,
and the steam would form, and the
piston would work, and the wheels

TO HELP THE CAUSE.
Novel Method Adopted I'm New Druns-
wick, New Jersey, to Assist
the Church.

The Pitman Methodist Episcopal
church OF New Brunswick, y. j., does
not depend for an income upon what
is put into it's collection plates, re-
ports the New York journal. Ii has
up-to-date methods of raising money
At the last church meeting the wom-
en- of the congregation announced
that the leading members must all
either sing a song, tell funny story
or do some sort of an entertaining
turn" Those who failed were TO be
fined such sums as the woman's Wig
ilance committee should decide upon.
Henry Arbogast, because his name
begins with the first letter Of the al
phabet, was called upon to start lie
blushed and started singing annie
Rooney" the Only song he knew. They
fined him IS on general principles.
William Clark recited "Curfew Shall
Not Ring Tonight" and had to pay 81
for being guilty of conduct calculated
to create a breach of the peace. Some
Of the men provided substitutes and
escaped punishment.
Five of the congregation were so un-
accustomed to public speaking that
when they were called upon they
could only sit as if glued TO their
seats and blush. One man was so
overcome with bashfulness that he
couldn't put his hand in his pocket TO
get the money to pay his fine and an
usher had to fish II out
The church netted SlOO from the en-
tertainment, and 1t will hold another
OF the same kind next time it needs
money

much power. There il would be made
fast again, until the rope could be dis
engaged from the cylinder and coiled,
ready for use when needed. Then the
man would cut loose, seize his paddle
OF pole. and work away till the next
rapid was reached, when he would
start of with his rope and repeat the
operation described above.
This process is wearisor with
heavy stone-boat but it struck me, as
/ watched II, that a bright boy could
adapt it to a toy scow and get deal
Of amusement out of It. II the expert
ment did nothing more, It would at
least be lesson in the art which
every mechanic must learn-of max
ing the forces Of nature his servants,
and compelling them to do for him
what would otherwise require . good
deal Of labor at his hands.

master had been colonel on Lees

as a cook at headquarters. In spir

would revolve, Just as in a big vessel
that carries passengers and freight.
The trouble with all these toy boats,
however, is that they will 90 only one
way. Having made their trip, they
have TO be toilsomely dragged back by
hand to be started again in the same
direction.
While travelling In Oregon, some
time ago, discovered a boat which
seemed to me the most ingenious
thing Of it's kind had ever seen. II
was built by some stoneworkers to
convey their stone from the quarry
we'll up toward the head of a small
river, down TO the mouth. The stream
is everywhere so shallow that 1t can
be forded without dangerI but 1t is
broken at intervals by stretches of
rapids, or 'riffies," as they are called
in that nelghborhood, often extending
as far as 100 feet. The men built
fat-bottomed boat, which they loaded
with stone, and Il carried its cargo
down the stream admirably. But then
arose the problem, how to get IL back
when II had been emptied. 1t was too
heavy TO haul up the stream by hand.
Where the water was comparatively
smooth there was no trouble, because
one man could ride on the scow and
make his way along with a paddle
and a pole; but the difficulty was TO
get It up the rapids. The best Of
boatmen could not hope to propel It
against so powerful a current, and up
hill at that.
How do you suppose they accom-
plished the task, finally?
BY making the boat work its own
passage.
They made two large paddle-wheels,
which they placed one on each side Of
the scow, and Joined them by a thin
but strong piece of wood. in the shape
Of a cylinder. This turned with the
wheels, and served the double pur-
pose Of an axle and windlass. Each
end Of the cylinder, near where IL
Joined the wheels, played in socket
somewhat like the row-lock used with
an oar, only stationary, and mounted
on the top OF triangular truss. To
the cyhnCer was fastened a rope
about 200 feet long. When the boat
reached ths bottom OF q rapid, IL
would be made fast 10 the shore.
Then the man in charge Of the boat
would ford the stream sno mount the
opposite bang. taking with him the
rope in a coil, and paying It gradually
out as he walked, 40 as TO keep II al
wavs taut. At the head of the rapid,
or a trife beyond, he would fasten the
further end Of the rope 10 tree. The
moorings Of the boat would be locsed.
and the current left 70 do the rest
without assistance. The paddle
wheels. unable to resist the force Of
the water flowing against their sunk
en- blades, would slowly reyolve, and,
OF course, every revolution Of the
wheels would cause The rope TO wind
itself around the axle. With each
turn Of the rope the boat would neces-
sarily be drawn forward and up the
stream; so, by the effect or the con-
tinued winding, It would gradually
rise and rise till Il reached the place
where the current ceased to exert so

Pigeon Pie for Sailors.

An old tar on a sailing vessel says
that sailors on ships in the regular lane
between Europe and New York are al
ways sure Of pigeon pie the day after
the carrier pigeon service leaves this
port. He added that pigeons flying at
sea soon get tired and settle on the
first craft that comes their way. The
impression is gaining that pigeons are
not so useful for long ocean flights as
has been believed.

nrench of PapnI Etiquette.

A story from Rome says that some
ladies made their appearance at a
papal reception, to the grave dis
pleasure of the pope, in ballroom
dress. A well known cardinal was IN
structed to apprise these offenders OF
their breach of etiquette. The car
dinal thus fulfilled his somewhat deli
cate mission: THE pope" he said,
sis old-fashioned. and does not like
decollete dresses; but I am quite ac-
customed to them. for have been so
much among savages when a mission
ary that I do not mind them"
