A FORGOTTEN MONUMENT.

A Washington monument that was
never erected occupied the attention
of the citizens of New York in 1847.
1t was to tower SO far above any other
structure that it might be seen many
miles out at sea. Several thousand dol
lars were actually raised and the cor
nerstone was laid with ceremony in
Hamilton square, which covered the
blocks now contained between Third
and Fifth avenues, Sixty-sixth and
Sixty-ninth streets. This was before
Central Park had been outlined.
Hamilton square was a portion of the
old common lands of the city. 1t is
not known what became of the Wash
ington monument cornerstone. The
monument association gradually
ceased to exist. The $1,000,000 monu-
ment was forgotten and when the
ground once known as Hamilton square
was cut up and the streets run through
no record remained as to what was
done with the cornerstone and it's
leaden box filled with memorials of
the city in 1847

NAMING SUBMARINES.

Every one knows what submarines
are and what an important factor they
have become in modern naval warfare.
Their nomenclature is rather interest
ing, according to the Popular Science
Monthly. In the United States navy
the first of these crafts were named
for various kinds of fish and reptiles,
and we had such odd cognomens as
Adder, Moccasin, Pike, Sturgeon,
Shark, Carp, Haddock, etc., on the
naval lists. Before the list of pisca-
torial names ran out the system was
changed, and designations of AL, Az,
B-1, BIZ, etc., down to the more recent
submarines known as the o class. In
general the numbers applied CORE
spond to the particular lot in which
they were constructed, and the letters
closely follow the number of years
since they were first built. In Ger
many they are all known as U-boats,
the U being the first letter of unter-
seeboot, meaning submarine.

THE MAGMA cHARTA.

When a Briton thinks of liberty he
can hardly help thinking of Magma
Charta." That was the foundation of
his liberty, so his history tells him.
1t was won by no atheist or free
thinker. Freethinkers were few in
those days. 1t was won in the days
when England was Catholic nation,
says The Catholic Record. The first
meeting held by the barons to decide
upon a plan to secure liberty from
King John was held in Catholic
church-St Pauls Cathedral in Lon
don, England. There was no Angli-
can church in those days.
All over England there were Cath
Ollie churches, and the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass was a fact in the life of
every Englishman. 1t was the Cath
Ollie Archbishop, Stephen Langton,
who addressed the barons at that
meeting, and produced before them
the charter of Henry I. 1t was this
same Catholic Archbishop who
threatened King John with excom-
munication if he assailed his subjects
by any but due process of the law.

THE COST OF CHARACTER.

Many people have fine dreams oil
moral and spiritual beauty which
never become anything more thar
dreams, because they will not work
them out in pain, struggle, and self
restraint. Here is an incident from
private letter.
Zone day, lately, one of my little
music pupils, an old-fashioned, sweet
little girl, about nine years old, was
playing scales and octaves, when she
turned to me, and said, oh, Miss
Graham, my hands are tired!'
Z said, Never mind, Norma; just
try to play them once or twice more
The longer you practice them, the
stronger your hands will grow, so thai
after a while, you will not feel it al
ALL
"She turned the gentle little face
weariedly to me and said: Miss Ora
ham, it seems as if everything thai
strengthens hurts'
Il gave her something else, but
thought: Yes. my dear little girl
everything that strengthens hurts!' :
The child was right. 1t is true in
music; it is true in all art; it is true
in the making Of character; every
thing that strengthens hurts. costs
pain and self-denial. We must die to
live. we must cruelty the flesh that
We may find spiritual gains.

FAMILY SocIALS.

Too many young folks seem to think
that it is quite the proper thing to
have their socials and amusements as
far away from home as possible. Any
thing or any place, providing it is out
of sight of father and mother.
This looks like ingratitude and lack
of appreciation for those who spend
themselves for the sake of their chill
dren. However, the above is not al
ways the explanation for home deser-
ton. Children are often thoughtless
and parents are sometimes tactless.
Little family fetes once a week or
oftener, entered into by the whole fam
lily, would in a short time remove all
of this strangeness and do much to
strengthen family affection.
Every member of the family can CO.
operate in making home entertain
ments delightful and pleasurable for
all.

a word which I could not pronounce

resolution and became a minded
noble, honored gentleman. His rule
and example are worthy of imitation

Such vulgarity is thought by some
boys to be smart" the next thing

to profanity, and fills the mind with
evil thoughts. 1t degrades the soul
and prepares the way for many evils

YOUR MENTAL MACHINERY.

1t is a great thing to 1earn-tO shut
OF the mental steam when you quit
work. What would you think of a fac
tory manager who would leave all of
his power turned on after the opera
tors had left the factory, the delicate
machinery running everywhere, pound
ing itself to pieces, grinding out its
delicate bearing without producing
anything?
Many of us do not turn off our men
tai power after we are through pro-
ducing or creating for the day. We
carry our business home, take it to
bed with us, think, plan, worry and
waste precious energy in all sorts OF
ways, in superhuous thinking, foolish
worrying that produces nothing, but
grinds out the exquisite mental ma.
chinery and units it for the next days
work.
1t is great art to learn to shut off
power when through our days work
so that we can oil our mental ma.
chinery, refresh our minds and recu.
perate ourselves, SO that we can go to
the next days work completely rein.

Many men seem to think that they

vigor, the focusing of the mind, which

| hardships, sorrows and yet the reten-
| ton of self-respect. The men in the
navy recruiting station instinctively
addressed her as mother
With her was a young man, erect,
clean, strong. She had but to look at
that boy to tell every one he was all
the world to her. One small, but toll
| worn hand, the finger joints like
knobs, rested on his coat sleeve. The
youth piloted the mother past the
| chief master-at-arms, past the row of
recruits sitting uneasily on chairs,
and through the door leading to the
office of Lieut.. William N. Richardson,
Jr, officer in charge.
Chief Yeoman Mcdonald sorted a
pile of papers quickly and expertly.
Selecting one he spread it out before
the mother.
"Sign here, please" he said.
The woman seated herself. She
| first fexed her fingers by motions as
though she were writing, but the pen
| point did not touch the paper. Then
| she traced her name slowly.
Arising, she took her big boy by the
hand as though she would part with
him, as men part with men. But swift
as ray of light her arms shot up
| ward and encircled his neck and his
face came down to meet hers. Their
| lips touched and in her eyes was the
full glory of motherhood. Before she
| released him, she whispered some
thing to her boy.
II will be good, mother" said the
boy. She turned, and with the glory
still in her eyes, left.
She had given her boy to his coun
try.

WHAT WAS 1T?

Once there was little three-cor-
nered black seed. 1t was in a small
blue envelope, with many others like
ITSELF Polly Mary was carrying them
out to her garden. 1t was bright
May morning. Polly Mary carried the
envelope clasped very tightly in her
small, moist pink fist; but one corner
was not sealed tightly, and this one
little seed slipped out. Straight
ahead tripped Polly Mary, never no
ticing it at all. Down, down it fell,
and struck Click" on a pebble in
the path. But Polly Mary was sing
ing, I'm Going to Have Garden
Gay" and SO, of course, she did not
hear. 1t was a very tiny Click" any
way The little seed was sound
asleep, SO it did not feel hurt. 1t
bounced off the pebble and fell again.
This time it dropped into a soft, warm
place-a little hole close by the old
birch post that helped hold up the
Concord grape trellis. Only that
morning Chippy Chirkytail, the chip
munk who lived in the garden wall,
had remembered hiding an acorn
there in the fall, and had dug it out
Down into the little round hole,
where the acorn had lain, slid the lit
tie black seed, still sound asleep. 1t
had been sleeping almost a year!
But that very night there came a
brisk shower, and it settled the warm
earth down around the little seed,
like soft blanket. And in the morn
ing the sunshine came and made it's
bed still warmer; and then, what do
you think? The little seed began to
wake up, and stretch! Just little bit
at first. But the sunshine kept coax
ing it.
"Pm growing, I'm really growing"
it, whispered to itself. Its such
fun!'
And the very next morning it said
earnestly, II can't stay down here any
longer. / feel as though there was
work for me to do, up there, some
where!'
Up, up, up into the warm sunshine
it pushed it's way! The black over
coat dropped off, and there were two
beautiful green leaves!
'SWhyee! I'm not seed any longer
Pm a plant! Now must grow!"
So the Little New Plant grew, and
grew, and grew. Another leaf came,
then another, and another, and
another! And the stem became very
long and slender. 1t swayed in the
sunshine.
One evening a merry breeze came
along, and stopped TO play while.
It played SO hard that the Little New
Plant grew dizzy 1t could not stand
up straight. The merry breeze fitted
away, with not so much as an I'm
sorry Probably it did not notice at
all. Oh, how queer the Little New
Plant felt! What shall do. what
shall / do?" it gasped.
Here" said the dry, crisp, pleasant
voice, lean on me.
1t was the Old Birch Post!
ooh, thank you!" whispered the
Little Plant. And it leaned hard, and
soon was fast asleep. In the morning
it was a whole inch taller, and had
walked in its sleep twice around the
Post. 1t felt so safe and comfortable.
DO you mind, Mr.. Post, If keep
right on leaning?" it asked timidIy
It did seem much to ask of a neigh

SO it leaned, and chung, and climbed.

FREEsT OF CREATURES.

| believe we can nowhere find a
better type of perfectly free creature
than in the common house-fiy. Not
free only, but brave; and irreverent
to a degree, which / think no human
republican could by any philosophy
exalt himself to. There is no courtesy
in him; he does not care whether it is
king or clown he leases; and in every
step of his swift mechanical march,
and in every pause of his resolute OBJ
servation, there is one and the same
perfect egotism, perfect independence
and self-confidence and conviction of
the worlds having been made for flies.
Strike at him with your hands; and
to him the mechanical fact and ex-
terna1 aspect of the matter is, what
to you it would be, if an acre of red
clay, ten feet thick, tore itself up from
the ground in one massive field, how
cred over you in the air for a second,
and came crashing down with an aim.
That is the external aspect of it; the
inner aspect, to the fly's mind, is of a
quite natural and unimportant occur
renee, one of the momentary condi-
tions of his active life. He steps out
of the way of your hand, and lights
on the back of it.
You cannot terrify him, nor govern
him, nor persuade him, nor convince
him. He has his own positive opinion
on all matters; and will ask no advice
of yours. He has no work to do, no
tyrannical instinct to obey. The earth
worm has his digging; the bee her
gathering and building; the spider
cunning network; the ant her treas
ury and accounts. All these are COM
paratively slaves, or people of vulgar
business. But your fly, free in the air,
