 To strengthen me on the way. Softer it seemed than the softest down On the breast of the gentlest dove; But it's timid press and it's faint caress Were strong in the strength of love! It seemed to say in strange. sweet way, "I love you and understand" And calmed my fears as my hot heart

Typical Lake of Italy.

For two years an exhaustive mono graph on a typical lake of Italy has been in course of preparation by the Italian Geographical Society. The pic turesque lake of Bolsena, within easy reach from Rome, was selected for the purpose. and the studies include the geographical and geological features, the rainfall and temperature and sea- sonal variation. the changes of level, the seiches of rhythmical pulsa tions of the surface, and the life forms. The seiches constitute one of the most in- teresdng of the phenomena. These have a regular period of twelve or fifteen minutes, the rise of the water on occasions reaching a foot, and the oscillations are often so marked that the natives speak of the lake as pant ing. They are more conspicuous at Marta than on the opposite side of the lake at Bolsena, a rise of seven inches at the former being correlated, with one of four inches at the latter.

HOMELESS MEN IN CHICAGO.
Relief and Aid Society Tells Story of
 City's Miserable.

City's Miserable.
 Fifty thousand widows and fifty thousand children who are half-or- phans exist in Chicago. according to the forty seventh annual report of tue Chicago Relief and Aid Society.
 Twenty-Five thousand homeless men as a permanent factor of Chicago's population Is another item estimated in the report. There are 5000 desert- ed women also. who are the mothers of l5,OO0 children. Eight thousands persons in the city are suffering from tuberculosis.
 Of the 50,000 half-orphans between I and If years of age the report says: Such children are pressed into ser vice at an early age and many of them have been poorly nourished on account of the desperate struggle the mother has had to keep her family together. 1hey begin their work with poor equip ment physically. Our aid Is often in- voked where we find delicate young girls going to their work poorly shod. scantily clothed and underfed. This is also the case with school children. We also often find a boy or girl of school age kept at home to care for the younger children. It is usually against the real wishes of the parent, but the father or mother must work"
 Of the 25,UO0 homeless men the re- port declares: They come and go, but this average number Is always with us. Many of them make no se- rious effort to improve their condition. There are others who are honest seek CTS for work, who. having lost cour- age and health, need and appreciate a friendly hand"
 The tuberculosis figures of the re- port are significant. Three thousand and five hundred deaths were record ed last year. Only 4l5 beds are avail able for tuberculosis patients in Chi- cago. Two-thrds of the 5000 tuber- culosis sufferers in the city, or 5,333, are among the poor. The report says concerning them: Exposure, under nutrition and hard work lower the physical tone and render the body sus- ceptible to infection. With less than 250 free beds available and 5,333 pa- tients, 1t Is evident that whatever treatment these people have must bs in their own homes. When the bread winner is afflicted the burden Is espe- cially heavy. Fresh air, good shoes, comfortable clothing and plenty of wholesome, nourishing food are need ed. The family is often cramped for room and one or more persons sleep with the consumptiye." Chicago Chronicle.

Eupente and ,be Cholera

When Napoleon III. was at the ze- nth of his power there was a terrible outbreak of cholera in France. Every day the Empress Eugenie visited the hospitals to do what she could by su- perintendence and example to forward the noble work of allaying the suffer ings of the stricken. One morning a parish priest rushed into the ward where the empress was ministering to dying man.
 "Oh, your majesty" said the priest, two hours ago my curate was break fasting with me, and now he is dead-'
 The empress smiled calmly That Is we'll" said she.
 "Wellf" echoed the priest.
 "Yes, 1t is well. When once cholera becomes as violent IS this is it ceases" !"
 The empress was right. From that day the plague abated.

General Howard lately saw for the first time a letter which General Sher- man wrote to him forty years ago. The letter went astray. but the mes- sage was sent in another way and was received. The letter, after many vicis- situdes. was framed as precious relic. General Howard first saw 1t in the frame. Of course there was no rural free delivery in the army camp forty years ago. and probably that accounts for the tardy receipt Of the letter.

 Whatever the reason, not long ago Prince Henry bought for his royal wife several cows, which are placed on the rich land adjoining the palace at Loo. These prospered so well. and their milk and butter aided so much to the delights of the palace table, that the queen decided to engage in the business of dairying. The mana

Leading Southern newspapers are steadily preaching against the preya- lent practice of carrying firearms, to which too many differences are re ferred, and there Is plenty of need for 1t. Why should anybody desire to set tie in regions where the pistol Is so handy as to be fatal commonplace of the life? This is one of the prac- Heal considera rations involved that needs to be pressed home more vigorously. Ciyilizati ton fails where firearms are supreme.

FAR FROM HE FIRING LINE.
Place of the Commlniing Geueral In
 Great Battle Today.

iPdAAAC AOadJs
 To-day circumstances place a coin- mander completely out of sight of his army. He Is usually located at least ten or fifteen miles from the firing line and In many instances Is even farther away. He sits in room, where radi- ate telephone and telegraph lines to the remotest portion of the field, plac- ing him In instantaneous communica- ton with his principal subordlnates.
 The famous painting of Napoleon at Austerlitz represents, In the popular eye, commanding general directing great battle. But it belongs to the warfare of the past. The artist who aspires to depict the direction of a modern battle must show a man seated at table on which is spread a huge map dotted with little flags indicating the location of the opposing forces, with an ordinary desk telephone al his elbow. In an adjoining room Is switchboard, where sit alert operators ready to connect the commander with any of the field headquarters. From this room also comes the steady click Ing of a score of telegraph lnstru- ments, busily receiving and sending messages.
 But for he military uniforms of the messengers and the going and coming of staff officers, the man at the table might be a stock opera tor directing, through his brokers, deal In steel or railroad securities. Even the stenog- rapher at his elbow Is not lacking, but sits quietly taking messages under dic- tation, to be transmitted presently by telegraph. Other officers copy these messages and file them away, after putting them under a time-recording stamp to show the hour they were sent, so that afterward delinquencies may be located and responsibilities fixed.
 Thus apart from the excitement and horrors of the battlefield, general sits al desk and calmly directs the battle. He bears that thls attack has been re pulsed and that re-enfOrcements are needed here, that ammunition Is run ming low there, that this division has been cut to pieces, that those troops have been two days without food, and so on, along his forty miles of front and takes his measures accordingly. This picture is not fancful With due allowance for the fallibllity of all hu- man devices when subjected to the strain of abnormal conditions, 1t Is substantially correct.-Scrlbner's.

There was time when A good freak would receive S125 or $50 a week for sitting on a plat form.

Ordinarily a great fortune is built up like a stone wall-a stone at a time. The young man who declines to lay the first stone. because it comes so far short of a wall, will never make pro- gross in financial masonry.
