DUTY

know not where the path may lead nor what the :
end may be-,
The clouds are dark above now the future s
And yet when all the storms have passed, and
cannons cease to roar
We shall be prouder of flag than we have been
before.
We could not longer idle stay, spectators of
wrong,
The weak were crying out for help against oppres-
sion strong,
And though pray may be spared the bitter
of strife
Twere better that die than live the towards
feeble life.
We could not longer sie ent SIT our glory at end
And blind ourselves unto the wrongs committed
by a friend
We must be tolerant with ALL yet in these days of
Some things have happened that itwould be shame
to tolerate. {
And now we stand before the world erect and
calm and grave
And speak the words that decency must rule the
land and wave;
Into the chaos of despair fling ourselves today
AS guardians of precious trust hate must not
sweep away.
We must rejoice if weare men, not weak and
soft Of heart
! That we have needed Alty's CALL and taken up
our part
! And when at last sweet peace shall c0fe, and all
the strife is oer
We shall be prouder of our flag than we nave been
before.

CHRISTMAS. 1917.

CHRISTMAS, 1917.
We gave them gifts and toys.
Our boys,
And Christmas trees;
Hoping thru these
And earthly love, would shine
The gift Divine.
Before their manhood came
A flame
OF righteous ire.
Kindled a fire
OF love within the breast
For those distressed.
And offering life and all,
Ger seas sailed out;
At call.
Nor left a doubt
Of Gift Supreme made clear
Thru Christmas cheer

A delay in traffic, they say. was
caused the coolest morning in the
year. by a love scene on one of the
street cars One of the society girls
was on her way to church, and at the
corner where she got off the car, the
conductors best girl was also prepar-
ing to descend. The street railway sys-
tenn was held up for two minutes
while the conductor persuaded the girl
/ to kiss him goodby. If the glances of
the passengers who waited in the cold
could have withered him. he would
have been a blighted being for the rest
of his days. But on the contrary, he
simply beamed with happiness all the
rest of the trip.

ONCE A WIDE CANAL.

Broad Street, New York, Where the
Curb Brokers Now Operate.
The curb brokers Of New York, who

ness from gondolas or canalboats had
they made use Of that thoroughfare In
early days. for where solid pavement
now stands there was wide canal.
Many people nowadays, wandering
through the narrow streets Of lower
Manhattan, have wondered at Broad

culiar was such breadth Of thorough

were nearly all narrow, and to dis
tinguish 1t from the alley-like byways
that surrounded It the thoroughfare
was referred to as ''the broad street"
The Dutch called 1t the "Heere Graft"
(The latter word had far different
meaning In those daysl 1t was not at
first a street, but the principal canal
Of the city. This canal, wide enough
for heavy boats to pass each other,

WRITING THAT FADES.
Result of the Action Of Light and Air
Upon the Ink.

Result of the Action Of Light and Air
Upon the Ink.
Attention was first called to the
bleaching effect of air and light on
writing ink as used in modern times
by the fact that signatures on certain
certificates had become nlegible
through the fading Of the ink. says a
writer in the Journal of the Society OF
Chemical Industry.
AS 1t was impracticable to test sam
pie of ink by exposure of writing Tor
a period of years, it was considered
that a limited application of hydrogen
peroxide would be the nearest chemical
equivalent to the bleaching effect OF
the atmosphere. Writing done by diff
ferent inks was exposed to light, the
paper being occasionally molstened
with a per cent solution of hydrogen
neroxide. the result being that the
handwriting gradually became lnvisi-
BILE. In some cases more quickly than In
others. The violet ink used for type
writer's was less readily acted on, but
was quickly bleached by sulphurous
acid.
II an ink could be produced posses
sing the desirable properties Of perfect
fiuidity and, being nondepositing and
at the same time incapable Of being de
colorized by oxidizing or reducing
agents, there would be good reason to
believe that the writing done by such
an ink would be practically permanent
In the meantime, when writing Is Of
IN important nature and is desired tC
endure, some form Of carbon ink ap
pears to be the only trustworthy prepa
ration.

I'll. 1cork Convent

A striking curiosity near Cintra. Por-
tugal, is an ancient convent built par
TALLY In the interior Of an immense
rock. The convent Is situated In
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by dense wood Of cork
trees. The convent is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or Cork con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1850 to 1884 the convent
was Inhabited by an order Of monks
known as the Capuchins, remark
able feature Of their discipline being
that, except on certain occasions, ST.
lence was obligatory. Since 1884, when
the monasteries and converts Of Por-
tugal were dissolved, the convent has
not been occupied, though 1t is open
to the public, a caretaker residing there
for this purpose.-Wide World.
