Roman Bricks.

: The rebuilding of the campanile in
Venice has begun. It is expected that
the structure will be. finished by 1906.
Although the fall of the tower was q
deplorable loss, some good attended It
in the opportunity it gave psychologists
to examine the bricks. |' s sSs
It was found that the bricks had
been used in arches, Notifications, the
tops of walls and in other ways be-
fore they were built into the CAM
panile and that they are not Venetian
but Roman bricks. ~ "a. z, s5:
The ancient bricks were made in
slices, for in many the layers could be
seen undisturbed. It is said that bricks
made this way can bear a greater
weight than modern bricks. & s5.==Sz

WoMAN'S FRIENDSHIP.

Her kindness, when Of kindness sore oul

Her soothing accents. balm to hearts that
bleed,
Our tears dispel
Her very silence breathes a sympathy
Deeper than any utterance can be,
Our griefs to auell.
All that is highest. noblest. best in US,
She looks to find;
Aught else, atght base, she makes US

To cast behind:
But when achievement lags far In the
OF effort, women. then. alas! we fear,
Is all too kind.
When Joy Is ours. that joy were less than

Without her smile:
Hard-earned success, with sorest struggle
bought,
Were not worth while:
And life itself. were she not here to share
Its pleasures and Its pains. its mirth and
care,
Were drear exile.
