coNsIDERArE BURGLAR.

The sound Of breaking glass
aroused Mrs. Annie Hanson, cook
in a New York house early the other
morning. Mrs. Hanson found a
man in her bedroom. He lighted the
gas. "Tell me what you want and
I'll give it to you," said Mrs. Han
som. Blood was streaming from
the mans hand where the glass had
cut it. "Sorry to have disturbed
you," said the man, with bow. "Of
course I'll go. I wouldn't offend q
lady for the world" He opened a
door on the back porch and went

cANTILEvER BRIDGE.

A cantilever is bracket resting
on pier in the river or ravine to be
crossed, and SO balanced and secured
that the extended arm will support
both its own weight and its move
able load. 1t is connected at its
mid-river extremity, by a girder
span, with similar bracket reach
ing from the opposite shore. The
first cantilever bridge of any size to
be built in America was the bridge
at Niagara, built in 1883. A sus-
pension bridge consists of span of
bridge extending between anchor
ages, the bridge being supported by
chains, cables, or linked steel girders,
extending from the anchorages to
points of attachment along the
bridge.

REPETITION.

Do you ever wonder why poets
talk so much about flowers? !? Did you
ever hear of poet who did not talk
about them? Don't you think
poem which for the sake, of being
original should leave them out would
be like those verses where the letter
or e, or some other, is omitted |?
No; they will bloom over and over
again in poems as in the summer
fields, to the end of time, always
old and always new. Why should we
be more shy of repeating ourselves
than the spring be tired of blossoms
or the night Of stars? Look at ma
ture. She never wearies Of saying
over her floral pater-noster. In the
crevices of cyclopean walls-in the
dust where men lie, dust also--on
the mounds that bury huge cities,
the Bira Nemroud and the Babel
heap-still that same sweet PRAYER
and benediction. The Amen of ma
ture is always a fower-Holmes.

FIRST RELIEF.

It was during performance of
"Paust" in provincial town, after
the duel. Martha, who rushed in at
the head of the crowd, raised Valen-
tins head and held him in her arms,
during the first part of the scene and
exclaimed in evident alarm:
"Oh, what shall l do?"
For moment there was death
like stiffness in the house, when a
voice from the gallery suddenly
called out:

KNOWN AS TRAVELLERS PSALM
Number t2t Has Been the FavorIte OF
Many Men Of Worldwide
Prominence.

Psalm 121 has been appropriately
called the travellers psalm. It be-
gins with the words T will lift up
mine eyes unto the hills" So ap-
propriate indeed is this psalm for
the use of pilgrims or travellers that
many good men have habitually used
it before setting out for a journey.
1t was the custom Of Bishop Hooper
Of Gloucester, who was afterward
burnt at the stake within sight of
his cathedral, to recite this psalm
before leaving home on his diocesan
duties. David Livingstone read
this psalm with his father and
mother before he left home for Af-
rica. "On the morning of the elev-
enth November, 1840," writes his
sister, eve got up at five o'clock. My
mother made coffee. David read
Psalm 121 and prayed. Then my
father and he walked to Glasgow to
catch the Liverpool steamer" In
like manner we are told of Bishop
Harrington, who followed in the
train of Livingstone, that every
morning during his long and dan
gerous journey from Frere Town to
Lake Victoria Nyanza, he was ac-
customed to greet the sunrise by re-
peating his travelling PSALM" "I
will lift up mine eyes unto the hills"

MEMORY PROVED AT FAULT
Young Lady Wished to Put Professor
at Hls Ease, But Fate WllIed
II Otherwise.

Miss Bixby was not given to CO.
quetry, but she was pardonably anx-
ious to make an agreeable impress
sion upon Prof. Clark. He was
young and handsome and, like her
self, learned, she gathered from the
common friend who was plotting to
bring them together. Also the
friend, sprightly North Carolina
woman, referred to him as "tar-
heel"
ga whatp" Miss Bixby inquired.
"Tar-heel," it appeared, was the
vivacious name for a native of North
Carolina.
Miss Bixby, who modestly felt the
need in herself of an added touch of
vivacity, impressed the term upon
her memory, which, surcharged with
knowledge, had been known to be
treacherous.
However profound a conversa-
tion is destined to become, it should
begin, in society, Miss Bixby was
aware, with graceful nothings. "You
are a tar-heel, I believer" it seemed
to her would serve the purpose Of
breaking the ice.
He was handsomer and more in
tellectual looking than she had ex-
pected, even; also shyer and more
reserved. The polite commonplace
which she had prepared would be
just the thing to set him at ease.
Raising her voice, she addressed him
across her friends dinner table.
81 believe, Prof. Clark" she re-
marked, with sweet graciousness,
''that you are tadpole. Youths
Companion.

TURNED THE LAUGH.

Mr.. Lloyd-George is famous for
his brilliant repartee and biting sar-
casm. "I am here" he remarked
once at political meeting, but be-
fore he had time to finish the sem
tence a noisy interrupter had
chimed in, "And so am l." But the
retort was as quick as it was over
whelming. "Yes-but you are not
all therel" 'What do our opponents
really want?" he inquired in a re
cent speech. In the momentary
pause that followed the question
there came a voice husky from the
effects Of alcohol, "What I want ia
a change Of government" "No, no"
was the ready reply, "what you really
want is a change Of drink"

MADE BUSINESS OF MURDER.

A grewsome tale comes from Par
is. A number of mysterious sudden
deaths having taken place recently
among the aged folk in an asylum
at Ylie, in the department of Jaura,
an inquiry was set on foot which has
resulted in an extraordinary discov-
ery. One of the attendants was like
wise the grave digger of the estab-
lishment and was paid shilling for
every burial that took place. Appar-
emily finding that the grave digging
business was not as thriving as it
might be, he decided to help it along
a bit by strangling aged and feeble in
mates who he thought were not like
ly to live long. Five such deaths
took place in ten days.

10 DO AWAY WITH POVERTY
Way Sought to Prevent English Poor
Dying In Workhousc, Prison
or Gutter.

He who is born in a workhouse
will probably die in a workhouse,
says Tit-Bits. Not certainly, for
there are wonderful exceptions, but
probably. The same thing is true of
many places, whole districts, which
are not warehouses in the technical
sense of the term, but are, neverthe-
less, the houses in which the work
people live, in which, because of
their poverty, they are compelled to
live. He who is born in one of these
places will probably die in the work
house, or in the prison, or in the
gutter. Again, not certainly, but
probably--most probably.
AS Sir John Gorst, minister for
education under a tory administra-
ton, said recently, you cannot blame
the babies for being born, or for not
making proper provision for their
upbringing. "At present many Of
them had no chance, even before
their birth, for their mothers were
driven to work until almost the day
when they came into the world"
He has also said-perhaps he eS-
aggerated; we shall see when we
come to look into the matter more
closely, but, anyhow, he said it
that the "great mass" of the child
ren in our public schools were in a
state of degeneracy and neglect.
Now, if throughout the greater part
of mans school life hers in state
of dcgeneracy and neglect, the odds
are high that he will end his days
in workhouse, prison or the gut
ter.
What we have to do, then, is to
rout out and finally to abolish those
workhouses that breed paupers, and
afterward-let us hope not long
afterward--to rout out and abolish
those other places that breed pau
pers, too.

A QUAINT CEREMONY.


A quaint and interesting cere-
mony took place at Wotten, near
Dorking, England, one day recently,
acting under provision of the will of
William Glanville, who died over a
hundred years ago. Assembled in
the old parish cemetery, with their
hands laid upon Glanville's grave,
seven boys repeated by heart the
Lords Prayer, the Greed, and the
Ten Commandments, and afterwards
in school they read portion of the
New Testament. For doing this
they each received 40 shillings and
two rabbits.
