Lord Rothschild's House Unfinished.

People who pass Lord RothschilG's
mansion in Piccadilly, says writer
in the Culver. often notice that the
end of one of the cornices is unfin-
ished. One is likely to ask: Gould
not the richest man in the world ar
ford to pay for that cornice, or is
the lack due simply to carelessness?"
The explanation is very simple yet
suggestive one when it is known. Lord
Rolhschild is an orthodox Jew, and
every pious Jews house, tradition
says, must have some part unfinish-
ed, to bear testimony to the world
that its occupant is only, like Abra-
ham, a pilgrim and stranger upon the
earth The incomplete cornice on the
mansion seems to say TO all who
hurry by in the streets, bent on amas-
sing worldly wealth. or going along
with the madding crowd in the paths
OF folly-''This is not Lord Roths-
child's home; he is travelling to etern-
fty."

10 country's had hero
More steadfast. true, and great
Than Washington: captain
To guide the ship OF state
With hand more strong and steady,
Or eye more true and keen
Long live his name. his deathless fame
Let memory keep green.
In our love we set apart
His birthday every year,
With reverence tell the children
His history SO dear;
TITS for him we bow allow
And bend the willing knee,
For him we fly our banner
Uron the land and sea.
So let the honored name survive
OF our great Washington;
To our country he was father,
Yet Americas best son.
