The child shook her head.
But" persisted her father, think
how much money this room full OF
gold would be. Think how many
things you could buy with 1t. Don't
you think I'd better let the man have

Facts About Coral Reefs.

Some very interesting facts about coral
reef building were brought out by Protcs-
sor Alexander Agassiz and others before
the Royal Society of Edinburgh. 1t is
supposed that $50 feet is the greatest aver
age depth ut which coral reef builders can
live. Sixteen tons OF chalk are contained
in n layer of sea water coo feet deep and a
mile square. This material can be used by
the chalk animacules for shell.building pur-
poses. According to these facts the accu-
mutation on the ocean bed could not ex-
ceed $4,000 of an inch in thickness in q
year. giving us one foot of thickness in
about l00. 600 years.

Barnum and Bailey's Circus.

European papers commenting upon the
triumphal march of this circus through
Belgium. after describing the prowess and
skill Of the artists, express surprise at the
extreme rapidity with which the work is
accomplished and the extraordinary order
that ,eigns throughout, from the moment
of arrival to that Of departure. The secret
of all this may be found in the following:
There is not served at meals either beer,
or wine, or liquors. They drink tea, cot
fee, milk and water. That is to say, all the
employees are total abstainers. Mr. Bailey,
the director, is also an abstainer. Mr..
Barnum, the founder. was also an ab,
stainer. and often declared. III YOU wish
to succeed, no matter in what, tce drink
completely, be abstinent."

Hear the stamping ard the rattle
As of cavalry in battle
Hither HE.
Hear the rolling down the ridges
And the thunder Ger the bridges
Coming nigh.
Do you, trembling, ask What it is"
'Tis the devil makes his visit
With his deils.
See the fierce and foaming horses
And his car that hither courses
Woe on wheels.
He employs human driver;
Thus the wicked sin-contriver
Men dcceives.
Demons shut within a bottle
Able each a soul to throttle
Here he leaves.
And the wealthy tavern.keeper,
Sinking village morals deeper,
Takes them in.
Little does it seem to matter
How much sorrow he may scatter.
Woe and sin.
Men long sunk by drunken revels,
Serve as gods these bottled devils,
And they cheer
As they see the car advancing,
And the fiery horses prancing,
Coming near.
Daughters, sons and wives they offer,
All life's precious gifts they protfer,
All are brought
To be crushed-an act made lawful
Meath the wheels OF that most awful
Juggernaut.

BeltsaNccessIty.

While belts may be a necessity it IS
in their guise as ornaments that most
of us have the opportunity to observe
them. Practically every dress has n
belt! Draped belts OF soft rich fabrics
will figure on handsome costumes.
Belts are also an important part OF
street suits. Most of them are straight
along the lower edge and pointed at
the upper edge In the centre back. In
case Of long Victorine fronts to the
coat or blouse the belt disappears un-
der them at the front. While some
dresses on the right persons. notably
princess dresses. are splendid without
belts. It is safe to say that they i'm.
