partners prowied in the deep thickets, but the swifts took flrmer grip on us, being bolder and more terrible. Uncle ED became a great favorite in the family, and David Brewer came to know soon that he was "a good man to work" and could be trusted ito look after things" We had not been there long when I heard Elizabeth speak of Nehemiah-her lost son-and his name was often on the lips of others. He was boy of sixteen when he went away, and learned no more of him until long afterward.
 A month or more after we came to Faraway I remember we went cross lots in big box wagon to the orchard on the hill and gathered apples that fell in shower when Uncle Eb went up to shake them down. Then came the raw days of late October, when the crows went flying southward before the wind-a noisy pirate fleet that filled the sky at times-and when we all put on our mittens and went down the wind ing cow paths to the grove of butter nuts in the pasture. The great roof of the wilderness had turned red and fad ed into yellow. Soon it's rafters began to show through, and then, in day or two, they were all bare but for some patches of evergreen. Great golden drifts of foliage lay higher than q mans head in the timber land about the clearing. We had our best fun then playing T spy in the groves
 In that fragrant deep of leaves one might lie undiscovered long time. He could hear roaring like that of water at every move of the finder, wallowing nearer and nearer possibly, in his search. Old Fred came generally root ing his way to us in the deep drift with unerTing accuracy.

When I awokeI was surprised at such a dream, for had never before thought of going up in a balloon or flying machine. could not get the matter out of my mind however, nor could go to sleep again. At last said to myself: If I was actually going to Cuba in such an air ship and it should fall into the gulf would be drowned Then I began to figure how one could be made 50 that if it fell into the water it would be safe, and could be propelled to the shore.
 Finally" continued Capt. Byron, "I thought of making it in the shape of a boat, with a cabin in the center. I thought of it again during that day. and made crude drawing of the ship at my office. Then it was that the wedge-shape gas bag came to me, and the six different compartments. Most of my best thoughts came to me between five and seven o'clock in the morning, while yet in bed thought of a canopy for my cabin. which finally developed into an immense gas bag over the entire airship.

NO experience is needed to pick
out the typically underfed," says
writer regarding the children at
board school, in Leeds, England.
Their looks and their clothing be-
tray them at the first glance. On
their faces is the careworn, anxious
look which Is characteristic. Their
nondescript garments cover rather
than clothe them. They are shod,
when they are not actually barefoot
ed, after fashion that cripples their
movements rather than protects their
feet. Their whole appearance is elo-
auent of neglect, thriftlessness and
dirt. Their hair is unkempt, without
gloss and Ominous OF many evils;
their permanent teeth seem to decay
rr0m the first moment of their appear
ance; the bones of their arms and
legs hardly seem to be covered with
flesh and blood. When there hap
pens to be food at home they get some
sometimes. 1t depends on mothers
temper and how drunk father is.
When there is none they scavenge
abroad. The market places at night
are very favorite hunting ground.
Here 1t Is often possible to pick up
half-rotten fruit or other wastage
from the costers' stalls. Is there any
system Of purely mental education the
wit OF man has yet devised that is
likely to transform these waits Of hui
manity into healthy, wholesome men
and women or useful citizens? And

the very poor Every child has a tin
plate piled high with it's dinner, a sub
stantial slice of wholemeal bread, a
tin spoon and mag of water, served
by the elder children. They make
very short work of it. There is a
in half an hour every trace of the in
corruption of the school routine is
cleared away. The principal materials
of the children's dietary are whole
meal bread, cocoa, meat, fish, suet,
rice, lentils, potatoes, onions and bone
gravy, with plenty of margarine and
sugar. On these constituents, each
carefully chosen for it's food value, it
is possible to ring the changes of a
great variety of meals.
ut may be said that each of the
children during the first ten weeks of
this feeding increased in weight from
one pound to five pounds. But Stats
tics are hardly needed to show the i'm
provement in the children's physique.
1t is only necessary to look at the
free-feeders after seeing the underfed
in the same school. They have lost
their pinched and anxious look; there
is color in their cheeks, life and
brightness in their eyes and firm flesh
on their bones. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that they are of the same stock

THE PARTING.
A Soul, departing from her house

A Soul, departing from her house Of
Clay,
stopped at the threshold with a
parting Sigh
Looked longingly upon the brow so
grey
Upon the darkened portals of the
eye
She halted by the altar of the Mind
Recalled the throbbing pulses of
the heart,
Then tenderly she turned and left be-
hind
The crumbling temple--she. and it
must part!
"old house, I'm 10th to leave YOU
desolate!
You've been my home, my holiest
place, my shrine
With you I've conquered each dis
tracing fate
But let us part-I must not longer
pine!
You, back to dust-I, to some wider
sphere
Just as the chrysalis forsakes its
she'll
Yet, let me linger by your threshold,
here
You have been kind-'tis sad to
say FAREWELL"
Think not of me-" the tongue of clay
replied.
I've been a burden bearing down
alway;
Seek, now, the infinite cycles, where
abide
Thy kindred spirits, free from sod
den clay!
Go joyfully upon thy infinite flight
For you, what matchless splendors
now await!
For me,-the tomb, the worm, eternal
night
A temple tenantless and desolate!''

JOAQUIN MILLER's PYRE.

joaquin" Miller, the famous Poet
of the Sierras," is known far and wide
for his many eccentricities. Among
many other things, he is a strong be-
lever in cremation-after the ancient
manner of the Roman and the de-
votee of Brahma When he shall have
passed away, the good gray poet"
desires that his body shall be cremat-
ed, and that his ashes be "inurned," :"
and carefully preserved. To this end
he has caused to be erected on the
crest of "The Heights" overlooking
the cities of Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda, and the great bay of San
Francisco, a stone mortuary altar.
on the top of this pyre is deep
depression in the solid masonry
quite large enough to contains a hui
man body. After death Miller's re-
mains will be placed in this recepta-
Gle, covered with fuel and consumed
after the open air style of cremating
in India. Though odd yet it is the
With his. own aged hands the poet
helped to construct this funeral pyre,
on which his body is finally TO be re-
duced to ashes.
Along the winding ridge of The
Heights" Miller has also caused to be
erected several large stone memorial
towers, that are very conspicuous. One
is a pile of square masonry, dedicated
to Col. John c. Fremont, the famous
pathfinder; another to the poet.
Browning, of whom Joaquin is a great
admirer. and a third (of a pyramidal
shape), which the old poet facetiously
calls Moses Grave" Many hun

spect to him. Few call who do not
ascend the Heights to take look at
these rugged stone memorials.

LEGAL AMENITIES.

Senator Bailey of Texas, is fond of
telling stories of his youthful strug-
giles at the bar of that state.
About the first case that came Mr.,
Bailey's way was one in which he had
been retained to defend a rather tough
character in an action for damages.
AS the plaintiffs case was short, the
attorney soon resting Mr.. Bailey says
he thought he had fair chance to
get his man off. But, to his dismay,
the three or four different motions
that he made were promptly overruled
by the court. Then, says Mr.. Bailey,
he endeavored to see what little elo-
quence would do, and began a la
boriously prepared address to the
court
your honor observed Mr.. Bailey,
" my unfortunate client"
"There the court is with you" gent
ly interrupted the judge, with a grim
smile.
And the future senator lost his case.
