Chestnut streets are of extraordinary
interest. In 1890 Philadelphia offered
Congress the use Of the building until
the Capitol was permanently estab-
lished and the name of Congress Hall,
then applied to it, has remained ever
since. 1t was here that Washington
was inaugurated in 1893 and John
Adams in 1877, and other important
events took place within the building
in the ten years that the government
used it as Capitol. The hall is a
modest little structure Of red brick-7O
feet long. 80 feet wide and 80 feet
high. The floor has fallen in and pill
lars, plaster and gallery ratings are
lying in the cellar.

Land of "Pretty Soon"


l know Of a land where the streets are
paved
With the things which we meant to
achieve.
1t is walled with the money we meant tc
have saved.
And the pleasures for which we gricve
The kind words unspoken, the promises
broken,
And many coveted boon,
Are slowed away there in that land
somewhere
The land Of Pretty Soon"
There are uncut jewels. Of possible fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust
And oh! this place, while it seems so near,
Is farther away than the moon,
Though our purpose is fair, yet We never
get there
The land Of Pretty Soon"
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewed with pitiful wrecks.
And the ships that have sailed for its
shining strand
Bear skeletons on their decks,
1t is farther at noon than it is at dawn,
Farther at night than at noon;
Oh. let us beware of that land down
there
The land Of "Pretty Soon"

Fancy designs of all kinds are sold
in the shops, but il boy wishes to
have all the fun that there is in the
sport, he ought to make his own kite.
Besides 1t will give him better service.
The accompanying cut shows how u
good flyer can be made. Out Of some
straight-grained light wOOd-cedar pre-
ferred--make four sticks, about one
eighth of an inch in thickness. Let
two Of them be twenty-five inches In
length, one seventeen and One-half
inches. and the other thirteen and
three-fourths inches. Place them as
shown in the picture, and tack them
firmly where they cross. Cut little
nOtches at the ends of the sticks, and
put string around the whole frame,
making it taut and tying it so that it
will not slip.
Now cut out piece of very thin
manila paper-tissue paper would do,
but thin manila Is more serviceable-
one inch larger, all around, than the
frame, and paste the edge over the
string Make small hole in the end
of the sticks at A, b, G, u. Il. and +,
and put in string loosely from A to
Il, from + to T., and from c to ID. Make
a string loop from T. to f. to which
the tail of the kite Is to be attached.
The string must come through the pa
per side of the kite, not the stick side.
The cord by which you are to fly the
kite should be attached where the
strings cross each other; do this with a
loose knot enclosing all the strings.
For the tail use strip of muslin about
one inch in width and fifteen feet in
length, and attach ten hobs made of
paper rolled up. II the kite should
dive, add more tail until it sails stead
lily.
Use fine but strong cord for the fly
ing. and don't attempt it in high
wind. Kites always fly better in a
moderate wind.

And still they turned, with hearts that
burned,
Tn homeless love to yOll
Dear land
In hopeless love to you.
My boyish ear still chung to hear
OF Erin's pride of yore,
Ere Norman foot had dared pollute
Her independent shore;
OF chiefs, long dead, who rise to head
Some gallant patriot few,
Till all my aim on earth became
To strike one blow for you,
Dear land
10 strike one blow for you.
What path is best your rights to wrest
Let other heads divine;
BY work OF word, with voice or sword,
To follow them be mine.

No terrors can subdue;
If death should come, that martyrdom
Were sweet, endured for you,
Dear land

Dreams Of Motherland.
When the msts are on the mountain
And the sun sets DER the lea;
When song birds nest at evening,
My thoughts fly home to thee.
All! it's then l see the valley
With it's softly singing stream,
And fancy roams the hillside
Where passed my boyhood's dream.
o, the scent Of mead and woodland
And the whispering Of tie trees,
The song of thrush and sky-lark
Come floating on the breeze.
And l think l hear the music
That heard upon the green,
And see the dancers gather
Down by the old boreen!
AS l listen there in silence
To their cooling soft and low,
And see their happy faces
That vie with evenings glow.
o, my heart it leaps with gladness,
With a sweet, ecstatic pain,
And wish ne'er might waken
10 this dull life again!
But though music, scene and dancers,
or my fancy's happy dream,
Deep in my soul are mirrored,
AS skies in limpid stream,
'Tis thy freedom Mother Erin,
That l love TO dream Ut best
God grant me see it beaming
Before | sink to rest!
