Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of
the Lord;
lie is trampling out the vintage where the grapes
of wrath are stored
He hath oosed the fateful lightning of His terrible
swift sword;
His truth is marching
have seen him in the watch-hres of hundred
Essssz. circling camps, ssh = As.0 ys
They have builded him altar in the evening
dews and damps;
/ can read His righteous sentence by the dim and
faring lamps
His day is marching
have read fiery gospel writ in burnish'd rows
of steel:
GAS we deal with my condemners, with you my
grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman. crush the serpent
with his heel,
Since God is marching
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never
call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts Of men before His
judgmentseat;
oh be swift, my soul, answer Hint be iubilant,
my feet!
Our God is marching
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across
the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transhgures you
and me-
AS He died to make men holy, let us die to make
men free,
While God is marching on.

Written by Julia Ward Howe the age of SO years.
With echoes of a time long past,
With images that ne'er decay.
With grief in mould of glory cast,
Draws near our Decoration day.
flushed be the hum of toll and thrift,
Unheard the boast of ease and
wealth;
A distant music should uplift
The pulse of mans diviner health.
Sound, Bugle, but no more to call
The gathering legions to their task.
Flowers, bloom your brightest, though
you fall
Where scu1ptured stone a burial
mask.
With noiseless footsteps on they come,
With aspect solemn and severe
AS answering taps of muffled drum,
The heroes of the Past appear.
OH silent phalanx did we heed
The deathless message that you
bring,
Armed should we be for every need,
Trained for great Duty smarshaling.
"We who our blooming manhood gave
To keep our country's promise true
Salute you, from each warrior grave
Our pledge of brotherhood renew.
"Never for empty sound of fame,
Never for sordid heaps of gold,
Never for popular acclaim
Be the lands sacred birthright sold.
"Be this the lesson of our fight,
So plain that man may, reading,
run:
Rise ever up for human right,
And rest in God when right has
won.'

usefulness and convenience.
A great objection To the small school
benches described above is their size.
They are seldom made more than AS
inches or so inches In length, which does
not give room for working long ma
terial, and affords no space for fitting
and planning the work while being con-
structed, and is also too crowded for
advantageous use of the tools. For
very small work, however, this bench
has its advantages, in occupying small

construction and for other helpful and
practical uses.
II the workroom is large and the addi-
tional cost can be borne, we would rec
ommend the regular "cabinet-maker's"
work bench, shown In Fig. 8.
These benches are made from six feet
TO six and one-half feet in length, and
furnished at a very low price with two
wooden vises. such as are shown ON the
small bench in Fig. 7, or they may be
bought with quick-acting iron wise in

improved tail wise, as shown in the illus

In constructing the homemade bench,
illustrated in Fig 6 A, lumber from the

GIRL TRAINS ELEPHANT.
Young Daughter of New York Zoo
Keeper Teaches the Park Pet
Many Tricks.

One of the most interesting animal
trainers and one of the most inter-
esting trained animals in the whole
world probably. are Hattie Snyder, a
14-year-old school girl, and Hattie, "
a three-year-old Ceylon elephant,
writes John u. Rogers, in "A Girl Who
Trains an Elephant" in st. Nicholas.
Hattie Snyder's father is William
Snyder, who has been a keeper of the
menagerie in Central park, New York.
for more than 20 years.
Whether Hattie the elephant prefers
life in Ceylon to life in New York is
uncertain, though she appears TO be
perfectly contented. Mr.. Snyder, who
has a wide knowledge of elephants,
affirms that Hattie is the most intel
ligent and most amiable elephant he
ever saw She spends most of her
time in cage. about 20 feet square, in
the elephant house in the Central park
roo. The front of the cage is open
except for strong iron bars, and
about three feet in front of il is a rail-
ing which prevents the group Of in
terested spectators that are always
present from getting too close. In the
back of the cage is a door which
opens intoa courtyard, and through
this door Mr.. Snyder passes when he
feeds the elephant, as does Hattie
Snyder when she visits her namesake;
the elephant also uses this door when
ever she goes into the outer world for
exercise.
Hattie Snyder lives with her father
and mother, about ten minutes walk
from the ZOO She attends the public
school, and although she always
stands well in her class and is partic-
ularly studious, she inherits her ia
theirs love of animals. and prefers to
study them rather than her text
books. When the two-year-old ele-
plant came to New York Hattie Sny-
der at once made friends with her,
and soon began to teach her tricks.

ends of the legs, but the back board
must be nailed on with its upper edge
projecting seven-eighths of an inch
above the legs, as shown in the COM
pleted frame in Fig 10. The reason
for this will be seen later. The front
piece for the top of the bench should be
feet long, and, if possible, not less
than IA inches wide and IA inches in
thickness.
The best wood for this top is hard
(southern) pine. which is much firmer
and less liable to warp than the other
cheap woods. The plank must be thor
oughly seasoned, and should be fastened
TO the frame with three-inch No. 16

with the movement throughout the
country for uniformity in these mat

that would fully safeguard the inter-
estS of the property owner instead Of
continuing the practice Of permitting
the issuance OF as many different con-
tracts rs the companies and assured

hYENA KNEW ITS FRIEND.
Apparently Vicious Creature Had
Memory for Kindness.

A few years ago In one Of the men
aeeries exhibited during the races al
Brighton, England, was striped
hyena. which, to the keeper and all
around him, displayed the usual Zero
cious habits inherent in animals OF his
kind. Among the spectators was a
young man who fearlessly approached
the den where it was snarling and
swapping furiously, and, putting his
hand through the wires, patted the
animal on its head
In an instant the hyena gave symp-
toms of the greatest delight, bounded
about in an ecstacy of Joy and rubbed
himsel fagainst the young mans hand,
seeming TO be overjoyed at his ca
resses. 1t appeared that this animal
had been taken when cub by this
young man and brought by MIN to
England and sold to the keeper Of a
menagerie. and although seven years
had elapsed since then the recollec-
ton of the gentle treatment he had
received had been gratefully remem-
bered by this apparently untamable
creature.

Rev. Grant Dunning, an evangelist
who has been giving the devil chase
in Southern Indiana during the past
three we eks, is now giving him par
ticularly close rub at Linton, a town
possibly a little larger than Logan.
Dunning has preached straight from
the shoulder, If his sermons are cor
rectly reported, and he hasn't hesitat-
ed to call spade spade. At last he
mas the whole town on the move. He
has forced the officials to raid all places
OF evil and in the past week or so no
less than a hundred men have been
brought before the court. The town
contained houses of ill.repute, and in a
raid Saturday night, twcnty-rour men
and six sirens were captured. Among
the men were some prominent church
members. They tried to squelch 1t
but Dunning forced the matter
to an issue and a wholesale expose
Is being made in all directions. All
slot machines have been removed by
officials and burned in the street.
The town contained twenty-three sa.
looms, but many of these have been
closed. Dunning is still whipping
the bushes and apparently the law
abiding element is with him.
Cunning went to Linton just after
another famous revilvalist had stirred
religious fervor to the highest pitcn
