THE JOURNEY.

TITS so hard to be sick with the
humps. mama! Tell ME story. A
make-believe one that just couldn't
happen! That will make me forget"
And mama took Donald on her lap
and told him this story:
"Once there was little boy who
was lame, and very, very tired Of
keeping still.
ut was summer day, warm and
beautiful. Overhead the clouds were
so white and tleecy in the blue sky.
and they floated so dreamily that the
little boys eyes followed them visit
fully.
az wish could sail little way on
one!'
las he looked he thought, 4 will
sail on one,' and he seized his little
crutch, and very slowly climbed
high hill at the back of his house.
1.-THE clouds floated on the very top.
he knew, and when he reached it,
dear little cloud was there waiting
for him.
up. over, in, he was nestled in the
soft, white cloud and ready to sail.
THE air was cooler than on the
earth, but he pulled bit of cloud
round him, and it was soft as lambs
back.
And he sailed-far, far away!
Past green fields and over thick
forests, over bright rivers and lakes.
and his cheeks grew pink and his
eyes began to grow dark.
Lovely colors were in the sky,
which changed to deep. dull blues
and then tiny moon crept out and
a few beautiful stars, and then this
little cloud passenger grew sleepy and
hungry, too, and said. Now it is time
for me to go back to my own mother.
And it was wonderful all the time
for the cloud dropped lower, lower,
until it was again at the top of the
hill behind this little boys house.
and he softly slid out and over, and
went down the hill to his own moth
err. There, that is a story that
couldn't have happened! DID it make
you forget, Donald?" asked mother.
But Donald was asleep. Another lit
tie passenger was starting toward the
land Of happy dreams.-Katharine B.

So many celebrities were concerned
In the planning, erection and adornment
of the Congressional Library, that
list of them would embrace about all
the great ones in the world OF art and
architecture. With due regard to
very few structures which cost more,
the Library is ranked as the most beau
tiful public building in America, and
one of the most magnificent in the
world. From first to last, 1t had the
most assiduous care of its projectors,
and constant watchfulness made graft
that practice of diverting the public
money to private ends so noticeable in
some other undertakings of similar
character-impossible: so that the
money appropriated went to exactly the
uses Intended. There are other build
ings of more general Importance in
Washington. The Capitol, of course,
ranks first, and the Treasury and
State, War and Navy buildings follow
closely; but however 1t is exceeded I'm

MONDAY MORNING.
On the roof the rain is dropping, in
the laundry Bridget's singing,
And mamma has gone away;
So there's no one who will play
All this dreary. lonesome day
With little boy like me.

Bridget says she can't be stopping.
for the clothes must soon be
wringing.
So she tells me, Run along.
And begins again her song.
Rainy Mondays are SO long
For a little boy like me!

William Briggs was youth Of no
particular distinction. He had had
the misfortune at very early stage
in his career to disappoint the dear
eat expectation Of his parents. He
was their second child. The first
born, little girl, had died at the
sweetest OF all ages-the toddling
stage. And both had prayed for an
other child, with what earnestness
can only be understood by those who
have been similarly bereft. The ba-
by girl had been an angel Of beauty;
the new baby, 30 eagerly expected,
and for whom all his small sisters
dainty belongings had been lovingly
prepared. had no beauty. He was
squat, featureless. vacuous in express
sion from his infancy up. His mother
cried when she beheld him, and his
father turned away. Such had been

A NOVEL; PUNISHMENT.

Corporal punishment is said to be
the resource of lazy and uninven-
tive mind. A Washington woman
does not believe in it. She makes the
punishment fit the crime, according to
Harper's Weekly On one occasion
one of her boys had surreptitiously
appropriated an orange belonging TO
his younger brother. The misdemean-
or was discovered before the culprit
had disposed of his spoil; so the two
youngsters were summoned to the
judgment seat.
James," was the stern command
of the mother. take this seat, and
you, Thomas, that one. Now, Thorn
as, give James the orange you have
stolen from him."
When the lads had done as they
were ordered, the mother added;
James, want you to take as long
as possible to eat that orange. You,
Thomas, are to sit there and watch
him eat it. Under no circumstances
are you to leave the room"

IRON MAKING IN EARLY HIS
TORY

Iron was used before history was
written. The stone records of Egypt
and the brick books of Nineveh NEIL

cain "as instructor of every artificer
in brass and iron," and in Deuteron.
omy 3:11 the 4bedstead of the giant
Og was ''bedstead Of iron" The gal
leys of Tyre and Sidon traded in
this metal. Chinese records ascribed
to 1000 B. G. refer to it. Horace
speaks of it as superior to bronze.
The bronze age came before the iron
age because copper. found as a near
