IL IS not alone writer's of fiction who
nave awakened to the financial posi-
b!lities of authorship. Writers in more
rious fields, too, have discovered
what they believed to be the gold fields
of the publishing world. Studies that
formerly would have been destined for
the pages Of a historical. theological or
economic review are IioV expanded"
INTO works with the hope of a
boom; everything that possibly can
he converted into Il book is turned
into Il manuscript. In short. the rush
for the rich fields of the publishing
world has begun. Literary quartz is
sent 70 the publishers in unprecedent-
eddy large quantities: what proportion
Of ore it will produce we shall know
within the next few years. Judging
from the past, the prospect is aus
picious; here in America. at least. we
ale producing more good work Than
we have ever done before.

And what seems but idle show

For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our todays and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build,
Truly shape and fashion these;i
Leave no yuwning gaps between;
mink not, because no man sees.
such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest cara
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere
Let US do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where Gods may dwell
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time,
Broken stairways. where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.
Build todny, then, strong and sure.
With firm aud ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place,
Thus alone can we attain

Sees the world as one vast nlain,
Ana one boundless reach Of sky.

Of the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two OF the petals are plain 10
color, and three ars gay. The two
plain petals have single sepal, two of
the gay petals have sepsi each, and
the third, which is the largest Of all,
has two sepals. The fable is that the
pansy represents a family, consisting Of
husband and wife and four daughters
two of the latter being step -children Of
the wife. The plain petals are the

two small gay petals are the daughters,

THE ETERNAL GOODNESS.



l long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles long,
But God has led my dear ones on,
And He can do no wrong.
j know not what the future hath,
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And If my heart and flesh are weak,
To bear an untrieu pain,
Tho bruised reed He will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
No offering of my own / have,
No works my faith to prove;
] can but give the gift He gave,
And plead His love Tor love.
And so beside the silent sea
/ wait the muflied oar;
No harm from Him can come TO me
On ocean or on shore.

Their fronded palms in air;

Beyond his love and care.

blow a bubble upon the top of it.
To maze bubbles and noise, din
the end of an ordinary tin fish horn
well into the solution and blow gently
until quite large bubble has been
formed. Then four or i've loud blasts
may be sounded On the horn without
injuring the bubble in the least.
. 10 make six bubbles inside of one
another, DIP the end of straw in the
soapy water and after resting the wet
end upon an inverted plate or sheet Of
glass. which should have been pre-
yiously wet with the solution. blow a
bubble about six inches in diameter.
Then dip the straw we'll into the solu-
ton again, thrust it through the centre
OF this first bubble and blow another.
Continue in this manner until the
bubbles have all been placed. -
