Tn. Little Red Morocco Shoe.

The little red morocco shoe
A-gap where baby's toes peepcd through
Here tiny pigs to market went
IN the Old days OF sweet content.
The buttons dangling by n thread
once touched with fingers with the
dead
Each struggling one It brings to me
A perfume from lifes sacristy.
This tiny shoe without a heel,
Where little pigsies used to steal.
To me Is more than priceless gem
Plucked from royal dladem.
II brings from amaranthine shore
The face my loving eyes bent Ger:
II brings. dear heaven! from the night
Her kiss, her voice, her smiles delight
All! what may not n mother list
Whose cares are Blended to the mist
That rises out of shadow land
Made glad by the angelic band?
Their voices come on wings of air
To greet her patient, waiting there,
Enrapt with this morocco shoe
A-gap where baby's toes peeped through.
There comes no sweetness like the song
OF loves lnvislblcs who throng
The sacred Cloisters OF the heart,
Unknown to all the world apart
So ! may list the whispers soft.
WAIT to me from the throne aloft--
All. only heard by me. the while
My mind recalls the hahys smile.

Pauper Lunatics In BrltcIn.

Steadily for the last ten years the
number OF certified pauper lunatics
in the British isles has been rising.
Similarly suicide is increasing all over
the country. Turn to the physical

recruits show worse teeth to the ex.

1t has Just been found necessary to
lower the standard of height, weight

Town Children in the Country

From London come amusing reports
OF the impressions of poor children

philanthrop.c associations. One little
girl, who was spending few days in
the country, wrote home that 1t was
pretty and green and cool, but 1.-The

most picturesque comments are those
that touch on the workings of nature,

along a neighboring ridge and saying:
Don't you see the windmills? That's

War Plans Forever Secret.

Nearly everybody must remember
the story of the man who had discov-
cred way to set water on fire. OF
course, the story turned out to be
untrue. but 1t served to emphasize
the fact that If man should really
possess so terrible secret he would
be the most dangerous of mortals,
for he might at any instant start a
conhagration which would destroy all
the life on the world If not the world
itself.
A secret of which Great Britain will
probably want to know something il 1t

the 'secret war plan" of Admiral
Cochrane, tenth Earl of Dundonald

additional factor in this production. of
the grotesque is that the hair varies
in color as lime varies in bleaching

A dose of prussic acid accidentally
taken when experimenting killed the
inventor, and the theory lies buried
with him in the grave.
In the archiepiscopal library at
Lambeth palace is the clue to a plan
OF campaign as terrible, as far as can
be judged, as any that Cochrane or
the Russian devised. It was the
scheme of Lord Napier, and includes
the designs for an arm to destroy
whole army at once, and to scatter
fleet, no matter how large. That,
again, was never made public, but
remains In manuscript form just as It
left Napier's hand. He averred, and
the statement has never been cues.

English Architecture,

II is curious fact that the most
artistic modern houses in England are
those OF the very wealthy and the
very poor. The rich are building their
own; the poor. in few favored places,
are having theirs built Tor them, and
In their different ways they are the
nearest approach we have to model
homes. Between these extremes comes
the great wilful and inartistic middle
class. for whom there is being pro-
vided on all hands architecture which
