splendor. And there is the carpet Of

splendor. And there is the carpet oi
moss so cool to the eyes. Here one
may hear the sweet call of summer
birds that ring through the lofty
arches far above ones head, and from
the vast blue ceiling hang fieecy
white curtains fair to behold.
How pleasant it is to be here where
God would have His children dwell ;
and in the light of His word what
new beauties are revealed at every
turn. Truly, as writer once stated,
Mature is the mirror of divinity"
We are not to worship that which re-
veaIs God, but love and worship the
Creator of all these beautiful objects
we behold.
Now while the silver light from
the western sky filters down through
the network Of the maple branches l
silently praise God for His holy word,
my chief source of inspiration and for
the book Of nature, in which is writ
ten in deathless characters the power
of Him who clothes the earth in
beautiful garments and "telleth the
number of the stars, and calleth them
all bv.their Names"

THE LITTLE WOODEN BARREL.

Among all but endless variety of
things of wood produced in American
factories are little wooden barrels.
They are turned out of white birch.
and come in many sizes, from tiny af
fairs an inch and half high up to
barrels ten inches high.
The biggest of them are turned
with a hand manipulated tool, but
those ranging from six inches down
ward are turned each with a cutting
tool having an edge so formed that it
turns the barrel all at once. They
set block of wood in the lathe and
ADJUST the cutting tool and it turns
the barrel into shape complete as
quickly as man turning with hand
tool could have turned one of the
hoops on it; and on the smallest bar
rels one man can run three or four
aggregate in great numbers, millions
of them yearly. A single tack man
ufacturing concern buys them in car
load lots, 1000 gross, or 588, 900 bar
rels at a time. Great numbers are
used by confectioners, who fill them
with candy, and they are used to con-
tain bottle of perfumery.
Many are sold to be given away at
fairs or in other ways, being filled
with sample of staple product of
the region, perhaps of -four, or it
might be sugar. Many of them are
made with slot cut in one end, or
head, through which coins can be
dropped, the little barrels in this form
being used for savings hanks or given
out by Sunday school teachers to their
pupils to make collections in for some
specific purpose. Individual pur-
chasers buy the little barrels to use
for button boxes and great numbers
of them are sold for toys.
So in this country there are used
millions of them annually and for all
the various uses to which the little
barrels are put they are exported in
large numbers to countries all over
the world.

BIG HAT HELD TRAIN.

There was a whole peck of trouble
at the East Liberty station, Pittsburg,
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
other morning. The Pacific express
was FIVE minutes late in getting away
after it had stopped to let off pretty
Young girl who came over from New
York. She had on her new Easter
hat, and it was dream. 1t was as
big around as a dining-room table,
and that's what caused the Pacific
express to leave five minutes late.
The young woman put on the hat
before the depot was reached, and
when the train stopped she started out
of the Pullman at brisk gait. Sud
denly there was grinding noise and
the young woman came to a stop.
The aisle along the side of the Pull
man was not wide enough for the hat
when it was on top of the young wo-
mans head. The conductor was
shouting that the train would have to
start, and there was all kinds of ex-
element. Then the porter started to
push the young woman from amid
ships, but it wasn't any use.
Finally one of the male passengers
made suggestion, which was acted
upon. The young woman removed
half dozen hat pins, and, after much
careful maneuvring, the hat came off i,
as did also all the varnish on both
sides of of the car. The hat was then
tipped sidewise, the young woman
got out and the Pacific express got
away. The hat which caused all the
trouble measured 36 inches from stem
to stern.

TIRED EYES.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina, or see
ing portion, of the eye is fatigued,
but such is not the case, as the retina
hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue
is in the inner and outer muscles at
tached. to the eyeball and the muscle
of accommodation which surrounds the
lens of the eye. When near object
is to be looked at this muscle relaxes
and allows the lens to thicken, in
creasing its refractive power. The
inner and outer muscles are used in
covering the eye on the object to be
looked at, the inner one being espec-
tally used when a near object is look
ed at. 1t is in the three muscles men,
toned that the fatigue is felt, and re-
lief is secured temporarily by closing
the eyes or gazing at far distant OBJ
iects. The usual indication of strain
is redness of the rim of the eyelid,
betokening a congested state OF the
inner surface, accompanied with some
pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS in
dicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to massage
the eve and its surroundings as far as
NAV be with the hand. wet in cold
water.

CREDITABLE EVIDENCE.

The venerable and learned justice,
John M. Harlan, during game of
golf at Chevy Chase, explained the
intricacies of evidence to young man.
Justice Harlan illustrated we'll the
case of conflicting evidence-how,
when the statements of two witnesses
are opposed, the more probable state
ment is to be accepted.
1t is like the boy and the house
hunter.
"a house hunter, getting off a
train at suburban station, said to a
boy:
"'My lad, am looking for Mr..
Smithson's new block of semiodetach-
ed cattages. How far are they from
here?'
"'About twenty minutes walk, ;
the boy replied.
"'Twenty minutes?' exclaimed the
house hunter. Nonsense The adj
vertisement says five.'
"'Well,' said the boy, you can
believe me or you can believe the ad-
vertisement; but amt tryin' to
make no sale. >"

est of guardians, if you really want
me to be happy, don't demand my
union with one woman while my
heart belongs to another"
A curious smile f1ickered over Aunt
Mollie's withered features.

you understood that / wanted you to
share my wealth together, that my
fondest ambition was to wed my be-
loved niece with the son of my hearth"
she qucried in strange tone.
For a moment Snydam and the
girl beside him stood as if electrified.
Thenthey turned to each other with
a lookof mute questioning, of ecstatic
understanding.
Then the young man stretched out

Mollie. You will attain your fondest
ambition said he.
The oldlady smiled.

tiously. "If I had plainly stated my
real plan and desire, you would both
have rebelled, and there would have
been loathing instead of loving be-
tween you. Or, perhaps, you would

But shrewd, eccentric Aunt Mollie
did not die. She recovered and wit
messed the marriage, which was her
fcndest ambition.
