cARCASSoNNE.

I'm growing old; I'm sixty years;
I've labored all my life in vain:
In ali that time OF hopes and fears
I've failed my dearest wish to gain
see full well that here below
Bliss unalloyed there Is for none
My prayer will ne'er fulfillment know
lever have seen Carcassonne
/ never have seen Careassonne!
You see the city from the hill,
1t lies beyond the mountains blue,
And yet TO reach it one must still
Five long and weary leagues pursue,
And to return, as many morei
All! had the vintage plenteons grown!
The grape withheld its yellow store
/ shall not look on Carcassonne.
/ shall not look on Careassonne,
They tell me every day is there
Not more nor less than Sunday gay;
In shining robes and garments fair
The people walk upon their way.
One gazes there on castle walls
AS grand as those of Babylon,
bishop and two generals!
| do not know fair Careassonne.
/ do not know fair Carcassonnel
The wears right; he says that we
Are ever Maynard, weak and blind;
He tells us in his homily
Ambition ruins all mankind;
Yet could / there two days have spent
While still the autumn sweetly shone.
All me! l might have died content
When / had looked on Carcassonne,
When had looked on Carcassonnei
Thy pardon, Father beseech.
In this my prayer, If / offend;
One, something sees beyond his reach
From childhood to his journeys end
My wife, our little boy. Afghan,
Hawj travelled over to Narbonne.
My grandchild has seen Perpignan,
And / have ne'er seen Carcassonne.
And 1 have ne'er seen Carcassonne,
So crooned one day, close by Limoux,
A peasant double bent with age.
Rise up, my friend" said I, with yen
I'll go upon this pilgrimage"
We left next morning his abode
But (heaven forgive HIM half way on
The old man died upon the road
He never gazed on Carcassonne,
Each mortal has his Carcassonne!

The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of
Austria ''looked exceedingly glum dur
ing the procession" That was proper at
a funeral But it seems that his want
of cheerfulness was due not altogether
TO sorrow for his departed royal friend,
but partly to the circumstance that he
was not given the precedence in the cere-
monies to which he considered himself
and the Austrian empire entitled lex
President Roosevelt did not get from the
Lord Marshal a position quite as close
TO the front as was assigned to him by
the newspaper correspondents; but he
was wise enough to pay no attention TO
the circumstance, knowing, as the Aus.

that the British nation was grateful to
the guests who had come to it as repre-

any one of those guests would be the last

Stanley Y. Beach, of the editorial staff
Of the Scientific American, has produced
an aeroplane with gyroscope attachment
with which he hopes to win the New
York Worlds prize of $4,000 for a sue
cessful fight from New York to Albany.
The gyroscope is attached directly UNI
Ger the motor. where it rotates at the
tire nendous speed of ten thousand reVo-
Iutions minute, and offers a resisting
force of nine hundred pounds one foot
distant from its axis. This force in
creases with the diameter of the gyro-
scope and takes from the aviator all
worry as to stability, enabling him to
devote his attention entirely to steer
ing, diving and ascending. The gyro-
scope rotates in vacuum, and will con-
tfnue for hours from its own momentum,
thus making the stability of the aero
plane independent of the propelling
mechanism.

On the following evening Mr.. Edward

1t is stated that DIR. Charcot's me-
neurological observers in Scotia bay, in
the Antarctics. have discovered that
droughts in Argentina are Synonymous
with dearth of ice in the polar region, and
a wireless service is to be established for
the benefit of the farmers of South
America. This is causing speculation as
to whether the rainfall in North Amer
lea is not influenced by the annual ice
drift. There may be some relation be-
tween the movement of polar ice toward
the warmer regions every year, but for
the greater number of farmers there
would be little value in announcements
one way or the other, because in order
to do business they will nave to take
what comes and make the best of it.
They are not prepared for extra drainage
in wet weather or for irrigation when

The Cunard steamship company, it is
said, has decided aaginst installing an
oil fuel system in its new vessel to be
placed on the New York to Liverpool
run. because there would be difficulty in
getting the same quality of oil in the two
ports. Oil fuel would not cost less than
coal fuel at its present price, but there
would be saving i'll labor, for the oil
could be pumped directly into the tanks,
while fewer firemen and even fewer engi-
neers would be required. There would
also be a saving in the wear and tear of
the ship which is inseparably connected
with coaling. But until an absolutely
standardized oil can be obtained at the
various passenger ports of the world
there is little likelihood of liquid fuel be-
ing used on passenger ships Mr.. Rookie
Teller is likely TO note this point III favor
of STANDARD oil"

When Ex-Governor Rollins of New
Hampshire was placed under arrest by
Uunited States customs officers yesterday,
on a charge of trying to smuggle a large
quantity Of wearing apparel into this
country, on returning with his family,
from an extended European trip,
he exclaimed, Il was a fool don't
know why l tried it!' The Governor
made declaration only of fur coat, but
he and his family carried nine trunks
of clothes. 1t is curious how strong
the temptation is on the part of well-to-
do travellers to evade the customs regula-
tons. especially in regard to clothing.
There is very general conviction that
the law is absurdly Liberal in this mat
ter, and might well make more generous
exemptions. But while the law is as il
is there is grave danger in trying to
defeat it, especially since the reorgani-
cation of the c, stom house at New York
which has taken place under the present
administration.

Noisy Nuisances.

Hitting doors and windows rep.
resent a happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, SO annoying
does the constant rattle OF these open
ings become hat many determined IN
dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser OF two
evils and close the openings in prefer.
ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied II a small wedge of wood
be driven at the side of an open
window; a door can be prevented
from rafting If a pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge Of the door.
The annoyance Of creaking drawers
a be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom OF
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be we'll oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise of a sewing machine can
be overcome In a similar manner
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things. 1t were foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels of irri-
tated nerves when a little time will
obviate the n%uisances.
