CHINESE GREAT BUILDINGS.
"Long years before Alexan-
der the Great swept over the
east like a hurricane the Chi
nese had built a wall that is the
wonder Of the world today. 1t
stretched for fifteen hundred
miles across rivers, over hills
and valleys, over mountains and
plains. 1t is 20 to 80 feet high
and wide enough on top for six
horsemen to ride abreast On the
were strong towers about one
hundred yards apart and guards
watched for the enemies day
and night for hundreds of years.
The materials in this wall would
it is said, build a wall two feet
thick and IL feet high around
the earth. When the Erie ca.
nal was opened it was thought
a most wonderful piece of en-.
gineering. The opening day
was one of the greatest days in
the history of the state of New
York. Nearly 5000 years age
the Chinese dug a canal twice
as long as the Erie canal. The
walls around the city of Pekir
are 60 feet high and 40 # thick
at the base.

1.-THE NINETY AND NINE"
Spontaneous Origin of Sankey's
Most Famous Revival
Hymn.

The manner in which this song was
set to music excellently demonstrates
one of the peculiar elements of real
genius-spontaneity. There is no
doubt that Ira D. Sankey was a genius
in his chosen line. He found the
words of the hymn fin a newspaper on
train between Glasgow and Edin-
burgh. The next day at meeting
Mr. Moody asked Mr.. Sankey If he
had not something to sing appropriate
to the subject Of the talk which had
just been given on the Good Shep-
herd" Mr.. Sankey offered a prayer in
order to gain moment for thought,
as he hRaalrctady sung congregation
ally, everything appropriate to the oc-
casion. These words were in his
mind, and while he prayed he tried to
form something like tune. When he
went to the organ the tune evolved it
self just as it stands today. From

The Hypnotic Eye.

The man who wants to test the pow
er of the human eye on savage beasts
is legion, and he affords no end Of
amusement for the attendants at the
circus who are always on the lookout
for him. Often he may be detected
standing before the cage of lion gaz-
ing intently straight into the eyes of
the dignified old beast, who gazes back
with indifference and finally shifts his
eyes, not because he feels any mystic
influence, but because something else
has attracted his attention A story is
told of man who tried the hypnotic
trick on an ostrich. At first the bird
crouched down and huttered his wings
nervously, but made no other manifes-
tation for some time. A few hours la
ter the body of the man was found,
with the huge bird alternately stamp
ing and sitting on it.
Another is told of man who tried
to outgaze a leopard, with the result
that the animal made fierce charge
against the bars of his cage and at the
man, and the two created a disturb
ance that brought the attendants hur-
rying to investigate the trouble. -Har

COSTLY MANEUVERS.

1t is estimated that the mine owners
in Alabama are paying out $50, 600 per
month to maintain their fight against
the union, while the State of Alabama
paws out a like sum to assist them TO
carry it on. To avoid expense to the
taxpayers of state there should De a
law made that if coal company in
maintaining strike against labor,
cannot reach certain per cent OF It's
normal output in a certain time, that
it shall settle the soldier bill itself af-
ter that time. This thing Of hanging
onto the skirts of a state seeking pro-
lection in a row started by themselves
in refusing to treat with an organized
band of workers as an organization,
is not fair. We are in favor of the
military being on hand to quell disor-
ders, either of union, non-union or
outside origin, but to have the coal
companies presented with $50, OOO
worth of service free, is not fair to the
taxpayers. Why not divide the cost
between the companies and union, as
the latter seems as anxious to have the
soldiery.. on hand as the companies, al
though they are arrested and searched
for concealed weapons, and the officials
and employees of the company are not.

ONE FACE.

When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose swan, lad,
And every lass queen;
Then hey for boot and hose, lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have its course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad
And all the trees are brown,
And all the sport is stale, lad
And all the wheels run down;
Creep home, and take your place there,
The spent and MANNED among,
God grant you find one face there
You loved when all was young.

1.-THE GYPSY'S WARNING.
Published by request.

Published by request.
Trust him not, 0 gentle lady,
Though his voice is low and sweet;
Heed not him who kneels before thee,
Softly pleading at thy feet.
Now thy life is in its morning,
Cloud not this, thy happy lot,
Listen to the gypsy's warning,
Gentle lady, trust him not.
Lady, once there lived a maiden,
Young and pure and, like thee, fair,
Then he wooed-he wooed and won her,
Filled her gentle heart with care.
Then he needed not her weeping,
Nor cared he her life to save.
Soon she persisted, now she's sleeping
In the cold and silent grave.
Take your gold, do not want it,
Lady, l have prayed for thee,
For the hour that l might foil him
And rob him of expected bliss,
Aye | see thou art filled with wonder
At my look so fierce and wild,
Lady, in that churchyard yonder
Sleeps the gypsy's only child.

Photographic the Stomach.

An improved apparatus has been
made by DR.. Fritz Lang, of Munich,
by which the inside of the stomach
can be clearly photographed. The
camera is actually swallowed by the
patient, and when it reaches the stom-
ach the walls thereof can be illumina-
ted by small electric lamp attached
to the apparatus At the bottom of
the camera is wound Photographic
film twenty inches long and quarter
of an inch wide. All the surgeon has
to do is to pull cord and thus run
the film past the lens. The electric
light is then turned on, and after the
sensitive film has been impressed with
the image the current is turned off and
another section of the film is brought
into play until the requisite number Of
pictures has been obtained.
