A Bnited Gun For Wolves.

AS many wild animals prowl at night
and remain in their lairs all day, many
schemes are devised by the hunter and
trapper to slay them or capture them
with automatic traps, which have only
to be set in their path to tempt them
with the bait and take them unawares.

for the killing Of wolves and other

longer and gre Iueducts than any
other nation, mt on one knows
their builders. tuins tell Of civili-
Zations thousan of years prior to the
Noahic food. 1t is a country unique
because it Is a mountain range rising
out of the sea to dizzy heights, its
western face forming the refuge of Il
nation. All the worlds climates and
seasons exist there all the year round,
reposing in graduated strata from
ocean to lofty peak. The inhabitant
has only to step up or down to find the
atmospheric conditions that please
him. Railroads run everywhere with
in reason; the trains, however, are sub
ject to frequent delays, caused by
wash-outs, from floods, slides and ava
lanches. Outside of towns the only
vehicles possible are railway trains.
The automobile will never be popular
in Peru, but the opportunities for the
coming flying machine will put in pale
the remainder of civilization.
The discoveries of Professor Bailey
at Carmen Alto are declared by bulle-
tin Of the Royal Astronomical Society
to form the most notable advances of
recent years, opening up deep questions
in cosmical physics.

remarkable achievement Of Professor
Bailey. Hundreds had tried TO reach
the lofty peak. Many of them had
died of exhaustion and sickness, many
were killed by falling over precipices,
and few had ever succeeded in reach

structing a winding path from the base
to the top, erecting thereon the highest
meteorological observatory in the

And mid that solemn stiffness rise
The bells of Notre Dame.

And thou, o gentle Mother, pray
That God be reconciled,
And on mankind, o Christ, our King,
Pour out thy precious balm"

And so, methinks, God bending down
To ken the things of earth,
Heeds not the mockery of the town,
Or cries of ribald mirth;
Forever sounded in his ears
A penitential psalm
lis thy angelic voice he hears,
o, bells of Notre Dame!
Plead on, o bells, that thy sweet voice
May still forever be
An intercession to rejoice

And that thy tuneful grace may fall
Like dew, a quick'ning balm
Upon the arid hearts of all

How Sweet is the Reward.


Tis but little thing to do
To lend a helping hand
To one who stumbles on, the road
And has not power to- stand;
And if simple touch of ours
Can health and hope afford,
And joy impart
To one sad heart,
How sweet is our rewards!
IT'S but little thing to speak
A tender word of cheer,
To soothe and calm the troubled sou
Oppressed with doubt and fear;
1t is not much to turn aside
Sweet solace to afford
At PHYS call;
The gift is small,
Yet great is the reward.
The seed we scatter far and wide,
Along the mellow field,
Will find Judgment in the soil
And rich abundance yield;
And everywhere the loving heart
May cast it's precious gold,
Yet feel no lack.
For it all comes back,
Increased a hundred fold.
How rich the recompense we win
For favors great and small!
How little cause we have to fear
b That we should lose our all!
And yet how many, miser-like,
Their precious treasures hoard
From day to day
Give naught away
And miss the sweet reward!
