I thought one early morning at the
dreamy, drowsy hour,
heard a little bird that sang with
strange, melodious power.
1t tilted on q willow twig, then sailed
across the sky
More swiftly than the fieecy cloud that
lightly fioated by.
And then it came and sang again. a~tVne
so loud and strong
That the sunbeams on the water danced
in rhythm to the song
Bing! Bing! went the alarm clock as 1t

That song was just the radiator loading
UP with steam!
I dozed again. thought the south wind
softly hovered near.
The sunshine, turned to ether, trembled
in the atmosphere,
And it called the world to summer. As
the hours went drifting by
Each blossom breathed in perfume its
life story to the sky.
And every leaf that fiuttered in its Ian
guor seemed to say:

Only Five Girls in Every 100 Know
What They Do.
1t is estimated that only five girls in
every 100 know what they are doing;
the remaining IS are girls who never
heard OF such things, girls Just ike
your own daughters, who, but for the
white slave traffic, might have become
happy wives and mothers. II they
wanted to be bad there would be no
necessity for this trapping system.
twenty-five years ago II was re-
garded as improper, unclean and highly
indecorOus to speak about the white
slave trade in polite circles. Today,
kings and queens, princes and prin-
cesses attend conferences for the dis
cUssion Of this question.
A commissioner Of the house Of lords
has reported upon the question and
strongly recommended that an act of
parliament should be passed to cope
with the two cancers that were eat
ing into the body polite. Mr.. Glad
stones ministry-sir William Harcourr
being then home secretary-recOgniZe
the urgency of the demand, and intro
duced a bill giving effect to the recon-
mendatiOns Of the committee, but there
was no motive power behind it.
It was strongly opposed by a small
group Of men who seemed almost TO
have a personal interest in preventing
the strengthening of the law against
the corruption of weak and innocent
girls. Neither political party saw any
means of making capital out of it, and
the result was that session after ses-
sion the bill was introduced in due
course and then included in the mas
sacre of the innOcents at the end Of
the session
Then the plot was laid to bring such
disgrace on the laws of England that
a change would be forced by public
oensure So Mr.. Stead was induced
to act the part Of a prOcurer; and a
weak and wicked mother sold her
4 ~T4N 70 Fnr~
believing that her daugh-
ter was to go into an infamous house.
The daughter was indeed taken to a
house and witnesses and trained nurses
and physicians were on hand to rescue
her and attest to her leaving the
house as chaste as she entered it; but
the story was published in full in the
Pail Mall Gazette, in an article by Mr..

~ TWENTY-FIVE years ago any girl

no law 20 protect her.
The law Of England, as it stood at
that time, recognized that a girl one
day over 13 years Of age was legally

as it then stood put a positive premium
upon the corruption Of very young
children by refusing to let them give
evidence against men unless they could
satisfy the judge and jury that they

Six Years BUILDING q Clock.

Twenty thousand minute pieces OF
wood entered into the construction OF
an deliberately ornamented Notre Dame
cathedral clock made by James Cal
way of Skowhegan, Me. This clock,
which is finely carved, stands seven
feet and ten inches in height and took
Mr.. Galway six long years to complete.
In the upper story six folding doors
open every ten minutes and the apos-
ties appear marching in time to an
air played by a large music box thar
is governed by the clock, each one
bowling before the Savior as they pass,
except the fourth one (which repre-
sents Peter). who turns his back upon
the Savior, and the devil comes out
Of the top Of the clock and blows a
trumpet in honor OF Peter.
The second story is in the form OF
mansion with double doors in front
which also open every ten minutes.
Lazarus appears at the rich mans
door and on Bonded knees asks for
charity, the dogs licking his sores, and
the rich man stands in the door swing
ing his arm as IL he were throwing
crumbs from his table. ALI these NOV
able figures are run by machinery con-
nected with time movement, so as
| to work on the minute. The bottom
story is very elaborately designed
foundation Of fine inlaid work.-Seien-
