Moorish edifice, is we'll worth a visit.
The library and museum is housed in
the former spacious palace of Mustapha
Pasha and contains wonderful col
lections of Algerian maps and money,
hundreds of priceless Arab manuscripts
and upwards of 10000 volumes. It has
! also considerable ancient sculpture and
two sarcophagi, which are said to be
easily worth their weight in gold. They
are of the early days of Christianity
and were discovered at Dellys. Their
sides are covered with quaint chisel-
ling, representing Daniel in the lions
den; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
in the fiery furnace; the miracle of the
loaves and fishes; and the turning of
water into wine at the wedding in Cali

The Apple Barrel.

1t stood in the cellar low and dim,
Where the cObwebs swept and swayed,
Holding the store from bough to limb
At the feet of autumn laid.
And oft, when the days were short and
drear,
And the north wind shrieked and roared.
We children sought in the corner here,
And drew on the tOothsome hoard
For thus through the long, long winter
time,
It answered our every call
With wine of the summers golden prime
Sealed by the hand of fall,
The best there was of the earth and air,
OF rain and sun and breeze,
Changed to pippin sweet and rare
By the art of the faithful trees.
A wonderful barrel was this, had we
Its message but rightly heard,
Filled with the tales Of wind and bee,
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss of the fragrant June
When skies are soft and blue;
ThrOnged with the dreams of harvest
moon
Der fields drenched deep with dew
Oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvellous skill again;
Take me back to the past, pray,
AS willingly now as them
Back to the tender mOrns and ewes,
The nOontideS warm and still,
The t1eecy clouds and the Spangled leaves
OF the orchard over the hill.

Old Lace.

Fold upon fold,
Yellow as gold,
Woven by delicate fingers of old,
Here in its place
Grandmother's lace
Lies like dream of her maidenhood's grace
Fragrance of rose
Out of it flows,
Leaves of the past that it's meshes enclose :;
Sweets of old days,
Lavender sprays,
All that maid in her treasure chest lays.
Fair as her head,
Thread over thread,
Sleeps the old lace that she wore when she
wed.
Beautiful day.
But fold it away,
Grandmother's lace, and the rose, and the
spray!

PHILADELPHIA, May "A score of
persons had an almost miraculous escape
from death and injury shortly before noon
today when the fve-story office building
at Is South Broad Street collapsed. y
warning of the impending disaster came
twenty minutes before the side wall fell.
when a large crack appeared in the foun-
dation and the bulk window in the front

on the first floor sprung fSom its fasten-
ings and fell into the areaway leading 10

ried investigation was made and the occu-
pants of the building We're warned to get
out.
All but three women, who were on the
third and fourth floors, succeeded in
reaching the street before the crash came.
These women were afterward removed
from their perilous places by William H.
F;att. an elevator hey, who bravely ran
his car up the tottering shaft and carried
them down to the street level.
The building was acquired by the Penn
sylyania Railroad Company to make room
for their new annex TO the Broad street
station The immediate cause of the col
lapse is said to be the undermining OF the
foundation by workmen engaged in ex-
cavating for the annex.
