SALVATION.

Why do we not ourselves improve
 Rise to noblest thought and action? Away from what Is common move,
 To things of higher attraction? Iris because we have no desire, And of such things we easy tire. Why is 1t that so few are great,
 And the many are so common? That daily life has little weight,
 And few lives are like a sermon? It is because most men are weak, And do not such true greatness seek. The things that bring development,
 Are in the moral atmosphere, Which, breathing, new element
 Flows in, with helpfulness to cheer And we are glad to be and do, Whate'er is noblest, best and true. Men do no know, and its not preached That right, that truth, that justice are As sweet down here, as when we've
 reached
 The beautiful Land; near or far As God is here, or far away (But He is there and here alway). The things that are to be in Heaven
 And here, and they are everywhere; The spirit now Is fully given;
 Faith, hope, love-joy and peace gre
 here:
 Breathe anew their inspiration, And have a taste of salvation. y.. CHARLES W. DRAKE

ALEXANDRA V1ARDA.

Alexandra Viarda's personal represen- tative and private secretary has been in town to make arrangements for the harboring of that famous artist and her retinue during the time of her playing at the Hyperion theater nFriday and Saturday.
 He has travelled with her in Europe and had many an interesting story to tell about the artist, who is as peculiar and original, but also just as frilly and pretty as her noted equals at the histri- Onic and operatic culmen as known to be. Viarda also is an example and her life and attainmetns demonstrate again that an artists life means a tremsn- dous struggle md that domestic unhap- piness and misery have always been not to say consequence but an accom- panying feature of or, still better. the lever to the greatest achievements in art

SAWDUST PILE 30 YEARS AC-
 CUMULATING. r@
 Probably the largest sawdust pile in the world is the only at sheboygan, Mich. This Is the product of one mill The mill being run by water power, had no way of dfsposing of it's saw dust. The company was not permitted to dump it into the river, and for a few years an attempt was made to burn it.
 There was So much smoke that the village passed an ordinance prohibiting that form of destruction. As a conse. quence it was simply hauled out into 8 vacant field, and during the thirty years of its growth has acquired mon- strous proportions. It Is a hill, 1,OSC feet long, S15 feet wide and ranges from 20 to 50 feet in height. .=. .~.
 The hill covers some twelve acres. Ii is almost entirely white and Norway pine sawdust, because this mill did nos cut hemlock except for the last two or three years before 1t was closed down, The pile is undoubtedly rotting a. little at the bottom, but 1t is we'll preserved and bright when it is dug into, the ton and sides being crusted over, forming a protection for the sawdust under heath. In it's present state it contains rather too much moisture to admit of being used for fuel without treatment by some process of drying. ~ @~
 A number of chemists have examined it. with view to extracting the chem icals which 1t contains, but as yet noth- ing has been done in this direction. There is no question that it has con- siderable chemical value, and probably the time will come when some one will find a way of working it up profitably, From Woodcraft.

A JEWELLERS MISTAKE.

A young lady went to West End shop to buy a necklace of imitation pearls! She gave 95 for one and wore it the same evening at dinner. The gentleman beside her admired the necklace, and the coversation in- duced her to return next day to the shop to make inquiries.
 She was received with joy, for the necklace was of real pearls, and had been sold as imitation by mistake.
 The shopkeeper's gratitude, it is added, went the length of offering his customer the choice of e1OO worth of iewelry from his shop.-The Gentle woman.

 The fund bids fair to receive a deci- ded increase within the next few days. Mir Harry Hynan, of this city, has agreed to give ten per cent. of every cash purchase made at his stores on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week to the Russian relief fund. The local committee will have representa- tives there and iIt order that the sale will be greatly Increased MT. Hyman has made reduction in price of all the articles to be sold. It is rather a novel way of increasing the fund, but 1t is quite apparent that if other department stores would follow this idea the amount raised in New Haven would be very gratifying to those representing this city
 It is not known whether this way of raising money has been used in other cities or not but 1t is rite possible that 1t may be taken up.. The local commit tee will notify headquarters in New York of the offer of Mir. Hyman. All of the money received will be sent di- rectly by the local committee to Jacob H.

 Messrs. L. c. Page and Company. Boston, have just issued a beautiful holiday book that will be no doubt among the best sellers" 1t Is Ran bles in Normandy" by Francis Mil- toun, author of "Cathedrals of North ern France etc., with admirable il- lustrations and decorations by Blanche McManus.
 Mir. Miltoun is a motor enthusiast, with strong liking for bypaths and out-of-the-way corners, 50 taat his car has traVersed most of the paths not laid out in Baedeker.

Among French Inns'' is another specially attractive book, especially So for the holiday season. It is by Charles Gibson, and the publishers are. L. c. Page and Company, Boston This book, like "Rambles in Norman dy," is very handsomely gotten up, daintily attired. "alI gray and silvery pictured" It is decked out with all the clements necessary for suecess-an automobile, an indulgent American papa, managing American mamma, q double love match, and an enyiable collection of French, English and Ital- ian types. Moreover, there is real in- formation about the inns, their table d'hotes, their relative responsiveness and a plenty of historical data. MT. Gibson's field of investigation includes widely scattered rural haunts of France. Of 1t the Boston Advertiser we'll says: Between Havre and Rou- en among the inns of Brittany and Touraine: in and out of the Depart- ment of Orne, and in old Provence, he wanders with an Englishman wfO loafs and Frenchnan loaded with ir- formation of sort retailed by learned guides. He examined into some of the history and legends of the country, samples the inns, and endeayors to put himself into a frame of mind suitable for absorption of atmosphere.
 On the practical side MT. Gibson's book is strong. Good points, and points otherwise. of the cuisine; point CTS on travelling, such as the lay of thes land and rules for use with porters. landlords, ct als.; points of interest here and there, he gives with detailed fullness valuable to any one contenl- plating such trip for the first tirne He is long on experience, but short on atmosphere. Through introducing a New York belle, who gives to some chapters almost the aspect of fiction, and by distributing his impressions among several travelling companions he loses that individuality of view which is the all-important charm in a book of this character The volume is illustrated with some thirty excellent photographic reproductions.
