he exclaimed, what troubles some women
have to bear, and he was of again like a

With all the good work Of nursing the

even a tropical hurricane came laundering

hurt and the winds whistled at their dis

closely in each others arms and strapped
in their narrow berth, lay quietly as if in

Her open eyes seemed to see her whole lie
in pictures, which the lightning flashes re-
vealed one by one. o, the awfulness of that
night, unrelleved by prayer or companion
ship, till Sophie burst in the door, and
kneelng beside the terrified girl, cried.
Save US, Lawd, or we pe'ish." Then tears
streamed from the eyes of these two WON
in spirit, and with clasped hands and gentle
sympathy sustained each other till dawn
came, bringing sunshine, calm sea and
safety.
1t was fully II o'clock before the gong
sounded for breakfast that morning. It's

and saying:

quoted Sophie, and lifted the portiere for
Agnes to enter the saloon. Capt lie Grand
rose at her entrance, as dld all the paSsen'
gers, and thrilling prayer Of thanksgiving
went up in homely seaman fashion, which
brought tears to all eyes and hearty, sim

Gladness followed, and the saloon was full
of nurmuring voices. Agnes was little
faint from WEAKNESS and was trying to get
to her seat when the captain CALAMITY led
her to the chair beside him and placed her
in it, saying:

thing from every friend in the dear old
Crescent City, with love for Agnes" She
was bewildered and almost fearful, but true
to her training chose a choice bud from
the lot, and pInnlng it on the captains blue
coat begged the steward to do likewise fol
each passenger.
Sophie came along with square, white
package, and Importance written on every
line of her face.

Agnes took the package, cut the string
and saw a tiny note with line across its
face:

in Philips handwriting. She slipped it in
her pocket and unfolded yet more, to find
Philip Barlow's face gazing up into hers
from the card, and on the margin, in the
same characterize hand:
"Your Philip, if you viii have it So"
Her sight grew dim She clutched the

swiftly carried the unconscious girl to the

good it was but human that she should take
the photograph from the girls hand, nod
very intelllgently, and then gently re-

Just as Agnes Dueharme awakened to the
newly risen love of her life she was glad to
see Sophie quietly tanning her, while the

MAYBE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
Something About the Unexpected
which Is Always Happening
I'm Mechanics.

ITO the best conceived enterprises, or
mechanical contrivances. frequently
occurs what one is perforce obliged to
call the unexpected, resulting pos
sibly IN disaster, which, sineularly
enough, from the very nature of the
thing, cannot be anticipated or guard
ed against. The event, however, hav-
ing once transpired, cause and effect
may stand out in conspicuous evidence
to condemn the unexpected A case in
point occurred a few years ago, when
a 66-inch diameter by 30-foot oil tank,
of its own volition undertook to play
the role of a surface condenser. much
to its discontinue. 1t was a new tank
at the works of the manufacturer, UNI
dergoing the usual preliminary test,
steam being introduced and main
tanned at 20 pounds. All leaks at riy-
cts and seams were marked and rapid
ly calked. While this was in prog
ress the whistle sounded the noon
hour. followed by the usual stampede
The foreman in charge took the neces-
sary precaution to close the steam sup
ply valve.
1T was a beautiful April MONDAY
but out of an almost solitary cloud
came the proyerbial April shower. 1t
literally poured for less than q min
ute" quotes Casters Magazine
The unexpected happened. Now it
was not reasonable for the men in
charge to anticipate what might and
actually did approximately, the total
collapse of the tank with a report that
startled the community into the belief
that a battery of boilers had exploded
Even had the play of the elements been
foreseen it was not reasonable to sup
pose that a sufficient vacuum would be
created within the tank to produce col.
lapse, since only preliminary stage OF
the test had heen reached. BY n rare
coincidence, all the elements for a
demonstration were present. First, by
the introduction of steam, all the air
was driven out Of the uncalked joints:
then the expansion of iron from the
heat of the steam closed up such leaks
as workmen had not reached. The
shower was properly timed, and of suf-
ficient intensity and duration to con-
dense all the steam and produce a
vacuum, after which the shell yielded
to still greater distortion, and finally
collapsed from end to end, bending and
breaking both heads"

How About the Monroe Doctrine?

The Picayune has constantly held
that the Monroe doctrine, which
opposes interference by European
nations with public affairs in the
Western Hemisphere, estops the
United States from mixing in those
of the Old World.
The Philadelphia Times, holding
a like view, says: "Mr Blaine un-
derstood this very we'll when he re-
fused to consider proposition to
acquire a coaling station in the Med
iterranean. However desirable it
might be, he said, if the United
States were to establish naval posts
on the other side of the globe, 1t
would be impossible to object to
European nations establishing such
posts upon this side, and the great
moral defense we have in the Mon
roe doctrine would be gone"

1t is admitted by all that the study
of the child, its character, its mind
it's soul. is the highest duty of both
teacher and parent.
When we look at the little child
this wonderful being fresh from
the hand of the creator, still glisten-
ing with the dew of innocence, we
should hesitate, we should refuse
to mar its beauty, its purity, its
brightness by placing it amid in
harmonious surroundings. To dc
so is to despoil it Of its beauty, to
rob it Of its simplicity, to efface
from it the finger print of divinity.
Individual life is but a miniature
of national life. The African, the
Arabian, the Chinaman, surrounded
as they are by sandy deserts and
barren plains. have never made any
very. great progress intellectually
or ethically. The Greeks however,
influenced by the most beautiful
natural surroundings achieve won
ders in the realm of thought, in art,
in sculpture, and in poetry. And
the ethical ideals and teachings of
the Greek philosophers approach in
a remarkable degree to the doctrines
Of the great teacher.
In one age we see the Teutonic
sweeping down like a agigantic wave
over the civilized world, deluging
it with rudeness, brutality and bar
barism. In the next age we find
these wild Teutons transformed by
contact with the culture, the ideas
and the institutions of Greece and
Rome. Their rudeness was effaced
by classic art and literature, their
cruelty was softened by the refin-
ing influences of christianity.
What is true of the races of man.
kind is true of the individual.
Nearly all students of child life
and character have recognized the
vast influence of environment on
the development of the growing
soul. Ruskin gave his life to the
education and the development of
the higher mental and moral quail
ties Of the poorer classes by bring
ing them in contact with things
beautiful in the artistic world.
Pestalozzi and Froebel give the
arrangement of harmonious aud
beautiful surroundings the first
place in their educational scheme.
Rousseau would protect his Emile
from the warping degrading contact
with his fellow men, and leave him
to see, to feel and to grow amid all
that is beautiful and symmetrical
in nature.
So every teacher who has at heart
the harmonious growth of the
child's mind, soul, character, makes
use of art, music, literature, nature
to soften, to elevate, to build up, to
strengthen that most valuable of
qualities, the immortal part of man.
