A SLUMBER SONO.
Baby, yon stand by a rate thnt toads
Into a land of dreams;
There's a drowBy watchman her whi
herds
Never the atraggling fleams
Of tight that stray from the far-off sun
Always for him Its twinkling began
And we stand by the gate
And watch and wait.
And watch and wait!
Little one, hear what the stream sines of
Here in this quiet land;
It alngn of the joy of mother love
Sings to birds in the sand
To the strange, tall birds, with dreamy
eyes,
Thnt look at yon, dear, in mute surprise,
W hile we stand by the gate.
And watch and wait.
And watch and waltl
If yon open the gate bo one will know;
The guard will neTer guess.
Ton must open it gently, slowly so.
No one has heard, unless
Those dreamful birds, or the dreamland
sheep,
Tlenrd you stealing through their land of
sleep
While I stood by the gate.
To watch and wait.
And watch and wait!
Oh,
strange are the birds and the sheep
thnt dwell
Here in the land of dreams.
But ym must not see, and you must no
tell.
However strange it seems.
Or they'll never let you in agais.
And it would not please yon, baby, then,
Just to stand by the gate,
And wntrh and wnit.
And watch and wait!

THE FORGEK.
THEY were alone together, the old
man and hi son, the one who
had toiled for so many years, and
the one who had spoiled his few years
of manhood.
"If you can't find 500 I will be ar
rested for forgery. Now you know the
worst, father." And the young nan
endeavored to appear Indifferent, and
failed to do so.
"I've not ."( left." said John Calm
gate Sr., "ami you know that, John."
The young man laughed unmerrlly.
"I understand," he said, "you mean
tnat sooner than part with your money
you would rather I went to prison, I
don't blame you; perhaps I should do
the same in your case. I thought I'd
appeul to you before giving myself up,
but of course you are not compelled to
help me out of this scrape. I know
that well enough."
"You've had nil my money, my poor
boy;" and the old man stood up nnd
opened the oflice safe, and, ttilcing
from it his banker's passbook, he band
ed It to his son. The latter looked at
It and threw it down Impatiently.
"You wouldn't have shown this to
me if your money was at the bank.
Perhaps you do not quite understand
my position. I have forged my fi-lcud's
name to a bill. It becomes due to-morrow.
I have seen the man who dis
counted It, nnd tried to get the bill re
newed. He won't do It, smells n rat. I
fear, and If I don't take It up to-day it
will be presented to-morrow, and I am
ruined."
"Will your friend help you if yon
confess the truth and I pay him back
little by little?"
"I don't think so for a moment. I put
a parallel case to him in order to feel
the ground and ho said that he would
have no mercy on a forger, even If it
were bis own brother."
"My poor boy, my poor boy, how
could you have done It?"
"It's no use discussing thaJtVther,
It's done now. Possibly no one world
believe me if I said that It was done in
a moment of great pressure; that nt
the time I believed that I should be
absolutely certain to have the money
to take up the bill long before it w is
presented. I suppose all forgers tell
that tale, and I am going to bear iny
punishment without making excus.-s.
Only I thought you would help me this
once, for I have an offer to Join Frank
Paston in Tort Elizabeth, nnd I would
go there nt onee. It would be n new
life for me, and I would try hard to
make It a better one. Father" and t'te
face was softened now, and the voice
pleading "give me this chance. Re
member me as I was to you when you
first called me Into the world. In led.
I will strive to deserve your love."
The old man sat with his face hidden
In bis hands, rocking quietly to and fro
In his chair.
"I will work to pay you back, father.
I shall be out of the way of temptation
In Africa, even if I was Inclined to for
get this lesson. Tell me that my life l
not to be wusted."
Still the old man said nothing, but sat
rocking to and fro, to and fro.
"I know that at your time of life,
father, 51 to may mean a great deal to
you, but every penny shall be paid
back."
"Io you mean this, John?" And the
senior looked up, the Hues on his face
deepened and the gray of it mor pal
lid. "Indeed I do. I ought to have come
to you long ago, and told you this, but
I hoped until almost the last moment
that I could spare you the shame of
knowing that I had dlsgraesd your
nam."
"If I managed this for you, bow soon
could you start, John?"
"Iu a week, father."
"It Is not soon enough. It must be
to night."
"I will if I can."
Old John Calrngate opened the Times
and looked at the shipping advertise
ments. "The I'nion Line has a steamer leav
ing Southampton by to-morrow morn
ing's tide. Go to their London office; If
they haven't a berth left ask for this
gentleman" and he gave the young
man a card, on which he penciled a
nan i iv-"tell him as a favor I beg him to
And yon one, even If you have to mess
with some of the crew."
"Yes. father."
"Now, I only want one promise from
yon In return. You and I part forever.
You must not seek to communicate
with me in any way. More than this,
you must cut yourself off from England
for a time, and refuse to see even an
English newspaper, or to receive a let
ter from an English friend. You un
jerstnnd that you are exiled."
"Yes, sir," the voice was hard again
"How much money have you?"
"Just enough for a second-class pas
sage; no more."
Mr. Cnln.-g.ite brought a smaU box
fropi the safe and took 5 from rt.
"Take this, and now go, and keep
your pro.nise."
"Cooilhy, father, and thank yon.
Think less hardly of me some day,"
nnd he offered his hand, but It was not
seen, nnd the cray head was rocking
between the wSMiered old bauds np-aln.
Hid so the youi.g r::in went quietly out.
It was twelve months later, and
young John Calrngate was waiting to
see the passengers In from the Cape
steamer. The new life at Tort Ellza-
jeth wan not altogether a pleaaaat eae,
but be was prospering. The worst of
it "was It wua deadly doll, and. tme to
his promise, he would not look at an
English newspaper. Then, M the few
pnssengera landed, a Tolee hailed him
by name. It was the first time ha had
hrard It for many a day, for
was John Dunkley.
"John Calrngate, old fellow
It was an old dob friend, whom bt

and then as he stepped ashore ho aMook

"Of course I understand why yoo

added Barton: "but none of the fellowi
think worse of you for what happened.
It wasn't your fault, old chap; one
can't be responsible for one's relative
You needn't bare left as you did."
John Calrngate's eyes aaked for In

them that was evident to the other
man.
"Good heavens! Calrngate, you don't

asked Calrngate.

An American Arctic City.
A correspondent of the Spokane

However, at last accounts Circle City

actly 152 shota to do the trick. It was
free-hand drawing, as the figure was

as "Tep" had to place every shot with

were to go. In other words, he had to
have every detail of the "drawing"

Flying Machine.
The subject of aerial navigation la
oow so prominently before the public
that reminiscences as to Its beginning
may not bo out of order. The princi
ple of the balloon was conceived by
Albert of Saxony, as early aa the four
teenth oentury, and auceesafnl balloons
were made by a Portuguese Jesuit,
Francesco Mendama. The first balloon
ascensions were niade by the Montgol
flera In 17A3. since which time balloon
flights have become so common aa to
attract little attention. The idea that
a piece of mechanism could be devised
which should navigate the air. Irre
spective of the winds or currents, has
long been entertained, and It la said
that over 1,000 patents have been taken
out in England and this country on fly
ing machines. Most of them combine
the balloon principle with a propelling
power, the former for the purpose of
sustaining the weight of the necessary
machinery and of the operator. It la
probably only a question of time when
some of these devices will prove suc
cessful, and, according, to common re
port, several Inventors have already
solved the problem. There must al
ways, however, be a largo element of
danger In navigating the atmosphere,
and it is probable that even If flying
machines become a success the most of
the human race will be contented with
terra Anna modes of travel.

It Is a sad state of things which
makes this possible, but because the
fathers and mothers have for many,
many years sent their daughters away
at this early age the fathers and moth

same.

All through the days of the wedding

Then she Is carried to her husband's
home, and In the dark, secluded rooms

Many a little bride never sees the

In choosing a piece of wood for whlt
dlng. several points are to be noted,
n.. i, ant mrnnAm aro much nrettier than
the soft kind, and If has a good
stock of patience and Is content to
make slow progress, they are to be pre
ferred. Perhaps hUck-wnlnot Is the
best of the hard woods. Its grain is
usually straight, and. when perfectly
dry. It Is not nearly so hard te eut as
oak or maple. It to only the heart
wood ef the black-walnut has the rich
dark-brown color, and Is much used
for furniture and cabinet-work. In
the growing tree there Is an outer
layer of sap-wood, as It ts called, which
la quite as white as maple. This white
layer In a good-sired tree may be an
luch or even more In thickness, and is
sharolv contrasted with the dark
sharp blade. It Is not at all requisite
black-walnut ts kept. It Is often pos
sible to find boards or blocks which
have both kinds of wood, in them, and,
If they are used In carving, this natur
al contrast In the color of the wood may
be used to give very pretty effects; In
deed, a sort of wood-cameo can be
made from them, the white sap-wood
being used for the figures, and the dark
heart-wood below forming the back
ground. This sort of work, however.
Is more In the line of carving than
whlttUng. and Is rather difficult for the
beginner, especially as the sap-wood
Is harder than the heart-wood.
Of other hard woods the butternut
and cherry may be mentioned as espe
cially attractive to color and train
Some kinds of wood, too, which are
seldom used for lumber or cabinet
work, but are stiU abundant enough
In enr forests, especially in the Middle
States, will repay a boy for experiment
ing upon them. Thus the coffee-nut
tree hss a very pretty brown wood
with a fine grain. The osage-o range.
so often cultivated for hedges, has a
beautiful yellow wood, taking a high
polish, but It ts so hard that It Is very
difficult to use. The oaks and maples
are also too tough and hard to work
conveniently. Indeed, if a boy wishes
to make rapid progress, he bad better
be content, especially In his first ef
forts, with the soft woods. These are
pine, fir, and spruce; or, as the Germans
call them, from the sbape of their
leaves, the needle-woods. For our pur
poses the best wood of all Is a straight
grained piece of white pine, well dried,
but free from the cracks so likely to
come from a rapid seasoning. St

la Love with Celebrities.
Frivolous as the French are supposed
to be, they take love, or what passes
for It, very seriously on occasion. A
French specialist in lunacy has been
giving some Information about tbe In
sane men and women who follow celeb
rities about and fall In love with them.
The doctor lias to send two or three
women of this sort to asylums every
month, and nothing Is known of the
cases by the public. Good looking
priests, members of Parliament who
mr.ke good speeches In the chamber,
authors and handsome actors, are nota
ly marks for the attention of such wom
en. The actors, like the priests, have
often been threatened by their Jealous
admirers, who are not content to wor
ship at a distance, like the American
matinee girl. Actresses, too. have their
dangerous admirers. Mine, Sarah Bern
hardt has sometimes to be watched
over very carefully. Her worshipers
secrete themselves In all sorts of places
In order to see her enter or leave her
theater or her residence. The special
detectives have had to interfere on two
noted occasions. In order to save the
famous actress from the bullets or the
daggers of maniacs who resolved to
Injure or kill her because she refused to
respond to their declarations of love.

Converted Into Energy nt the Mlne'a
Month.
R has long been contended that It Is
Cheaper to transform the energy of coal i
Into electrical energy at the mine's j
mouth and transmit It In that form to
surrounding districts, say, within a '
twenty-mile radius, than to convey the
coal an equal distance and there trans- j
form ft into electrical energy. After
years of discussion this project is now
about to receive practical demonstra- j
tlon by an English company known ns J
the General Power Distribution Com-
pany. it rs proposed to erect a central
plant at Worksop, near Mansfield.
Notts, adjoining the large collieries of
that district, and supply the current
to neighboring towns and villages
within the radius above stated.
This area embraces Sheffield, Notting
ham, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Derby,
Retford, 'Worksop, Mansfield, Newark,
Rothcrham, Chesterfield and many in
termediate villages. The main Wen Is
to utilize the resources contained In the
new coal field on the borders of Notts
nnd Derby, where coal Is very cheap at
he pit's mouth. The promoters, some
of them mine owners, contend that If
thpv nneceerf in t1iMr ohtwf -V, i
problem In the large manufacturing
towns will ne capable of quick solution,
as the cheapness of the electric power
will cause rt to supersede steam. If
the plan should prove successful, nnd
there Is no reason why It should not, it

a problem of universal Importance.
One of the greatest dampers to a

Profit from Waste,.
A novel scheme has been adopted In
the public schools of Brussels. Some
time ago the teachers requested tha
children to collect and bring to school
ueh apparently useless articles, found
on the streets, as metallic bottle cap
sules, tin foil, old paint tubes, and any
refuse metals. In ten months the Joint
collection represented about three tou
weight. Out of the proceeds of this
apparent rubbish five hundred children
were completely clothed, and fifty sick
ones sent to convalescent homes, while
there was a balance which went to the
sick poor. The scheme hits been so suc
cessful that It Is being cdopted In other
towns on the continent.
