YOUR RAWARD,
If you scatter seeds along
The rich and fertile ground,
Though others harvest where you've
sown
When golden grain is found,
And claim the gleanings rich and rare
When garnered in their store,
The Lord will know at harvest time
Who scattered seeds before.
If you should strike a sweeter cord
Upon some tuned heart strings,
And though they vibrate around the
world
And music sweeter rings
From sea to sea, from pole to pole
And cross the ocean wide,
E’en tho't were kings the honor claimed
Could not the right one hide.
If you can ease some troubled heart,
However pained your own,
Or bring some joy where sorrow dwells,
To cast away its gloom.
No need for praises long and loud,
The Lord, He knows it all,
And on the day of your reward
He knows on whom to call.
Take courage then, you who must sow
For other souls to reap;
The Lord, He will the right one know,
He will the records keep,
And if with earnest praying hearts
You will your duty do,
Each will receive his own reward,
But yours will come to you.
MOTHERS.
It was a Boston child, of course, who
said when somebody asked her what
she considered mothers good for:
“Why, you see, God couldn’t be
everywhere, and so he just had to make
mothers.”
But it takes grace to be a good
mother,—now doesn’t it? She must be
wise and patient and good-natured and
serene and always ready to comfort
and help without losing her self-con-
trol. Prof. Swing once said he knew
many mothers whose children were
well washed, well scolded, well dressed,
and well whipped, but few whose chil-
dren were inspired, and it certainly
takes grace to lead such a life before
the children that they shall be inspired.
If you have good, healthy children,
full of animal spirits and frolieing with
fun and life, be thankful for it, even if
they do make more noise sometimes
than it seems possible to bear; for the
weak and nervous child is tenfold more
of a problem. There are two general
types of nervous children, the active
child always on the go, inquisitive, and
acquisitive, but delicate as the mimosa
leaf, shrinking back into itself at the
first repulse or harsh word, and the
pale, quiet, affectionate child, thought-
ful, responsive, reserved. The child of
the first type may ba the embryo phi-
lanthropist or leader of criminale, in-
ventor or social iconoclast, as his
training tends, while the child of the
second type develops into the philoso-
pher, the poet, the man of letters, or
the misanthrope, the recluse, the an-
archist, as the case may be. One of the
greatest mistakes in training a nervous
child is to think that strength can come
through opposition. Such a child
should be guided, not driven. If afraid
to sleep in the dark, it should not be
forced to sleep in an unlighted room.
Timidity should not be ridiculed, but
patiently explained and argued away.
Tonics, good, digestible food and
open air life, avoidance of long hours
of study, frequent changes of air are
all not only serviceable, but one might
say, indispensible in the transforma-
tion of the child of nervous disposition
into the well poised man or wowan.
By injudicious treatment such a child
may be made to grow up a physical and
moral wreck, at odds with himself and
all the world. Under wise manage-
ment the same child may develop into
a lovable Qtype, gertle, affectionate,
sensitive and strong.
MAKE jHOME ATTRACTIVE.
Have goodffpapers and magazines;
let the boys and girls subscribe for
them. Have music of some kind, and
never consider that you have perform-
ed your duty to your children unless
you give themJthe advantages of edu-
cation. Let the children that have
talents for music take lessons in music;
even if you can’t afford to let them
take lessons until they are good mu-
sicians, why let them take a few lessons
and get some knowledge of music, and
by practice and study they may become
experts. If some of them show a talent
for drawing or printing or any of the
arts, why cultivate that talent to the
best of your ability.
Always have your home well lighted.
Oil or gas is very much eheaper than
having your children wander off, you
know not where, and they naturally
want to go where it is bright and at-
tractive.

LIGHT-GIVING SORA ANIMALS.
Bome Curleug Phosphoressent Orea-
tures Found in the Deep.
Acoerding te a writer in The Bcientific
American there are, on record, sev-
era] instances of persons having put
the light emitted by pydomosoma to
practical purpose. One specimen kept
alive in a tank in a dark room would,
when stirred with a stick, emit a light
strong enough to enable one to read
medium sized print.
Still another writer tells of hav-
ing written his name with his finger
upon the side of a giant pyrosoma,
whereupon the characters were in-
stantly reproduced in letters of liv-
ing fire. A French zoologist, who met
a school of pyrosoma, says that they
resembled ‘red hot balls of fire,” but
the claim is advanced for Birbra, a
Brazilian naturalist, that he was the
first to put the light of these queer
creatures to practieal purpose. Placing
six small ones in a swinging glass in
his cabin, he is said to have written
a description of the animals by their
own light.
By some the pyrosoma is called the
firebarrel, and the name is not out or
place, for the animal does resemble
a barrel, being about a foot in length
and open at one end. It is in the
tropics that it is found at its best,
but it is also found sometimes in the
waters of the islands of Southern Cal-
ifornia. One caught in Avalon Bay in
these waters some time ago was suc-
cessiully placed in a tank and phe-
tographed. First seen, a blaze of light
about ten feet below the surface as
it slowly rose to the surface, it was
supposed to be a huge jelly fish.
Through the window of a glass bottom
boat its course was followed as it
rose, and then its shape was seen to
be long and cylindrical. A faint light
was emitted from the animal, but the
moment it was touched it blazed out
in a bright glare of silvery green
light.
Close examination reveals the fact
that the pyrosoma is not one animal,
but in reality millions of minpte lit-
tle creatures all joined together in
one body by insoluble ties Bach of
these little individual animals in feed-
ing draws in water that is expelled
into the inside space, and out into the
sea again through the opening at Tne
end of the composite animal. It is
this process of taking in and ejecting
water that forces the pyrosoma along.
In the tropics the pyrosoma often
grows to great size. One found there
is said to have measured four feet
in length and to have been ten inches
in diameter. Scientists give the py-
rosoma high rank in the different
stages of animal life, classing it a
little lower than the fishes. Indeed,
it is claimed that in the larvae of
some forms a notocord is to be found,
believed by some to be a primitive
backbone.
The light emitted by_these wonder-
ful animals varies both in tint and
color, some giving off comparatively
white light, others a bluish light, and
still others a beautiful pale greenish
light. The brilliancy of the light given
off by a vast number of these animals
when grouped together is best descrip-
ed by Sir Wyville Thompson, who
wrote of sailing through a large num-
ber of them in this fashion: ‘It was
an easy matter to read the smallest
print sitting at the “after port in my
cabin, and the bows shed on either
side rapidly widening spaces of
radiance so vivid as to throw the sails
and rigging into lights and shadows.”
Of all the light giving animals the
salpa is said to be the most wonder-
ful. Like the heteropod, this animal
is provided with claspers that enable
it to fasten to seaweed and rocks So
plentiful are they in California weters
that the Santa Catalina Channel,
which is from eighteen to twenty
miles wide and about forty-five miles
long is at times literally covered with
them as far as the eye can reach.
Covering the entire surface and gleam-
ing like gems in the sunlight, they
present a beautiful picture. These an-
imals constitute a delicacy much
sought for by whales. Some of them
shed a silvery light, while others yield
blue and others red light.
Phosphorescent crabs are also found
in the California waters in large quan-
tities. These crabs, beautiful in their
tints of red, blue, purple and green,
give out a peculiar light at night, the
effect of which is startling, since it
makes the animal literally stand forth
in lines of gold. Still another light
giver peculiar to these waters is the
phyllirhoe, a sluggish mollusk.
So plentiful are the light-giving
denizens of the deep along the Cali-
fornia Coast that those who have un-
dergone the experience say a night
spent on these waters is awe Inspir-
ing indeed. But beautiful and impres-
sive as the strange sight is to the be-
holder, the light giving powers of
these animals are disastrous to them-
selves, since the light emanating from
them attracts the attention of maraud-
ing fishes, which seem to relish a
light meal at any time.
Telling the News in Holland.
In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
newspapers, are indicated by wind-
mills.
‘When a miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arm of the wheel
in a slanting position and with the
sails unfurled. His friends and guests
frequently do likewise with their mills,
in token of the ceremony.
To indicate a birth the wheel is
stopped with the arms in a slantin
position, but at & more acute an

OUR GREAT BATTLESHIPS.
The Connecticut is the Mest Power
ful Ever Built in This Country.
As the newest, largest and most
formidable engine of destruction in
our navy, and, save ons, the heaviest
armed vessel im the world, much in-
terest will attach to a description of
some of her leading features.
Her keel! was laid on March 10,
1903, and she was launched on Sep-
tember 29, 1904. She is 450 feet
long by 76 feet 10 inches in extreme
width. About 2,300 tons of eoal can
be carried in her bunkers. Her speed
will be eighteen knots, and she
draws 243 feet of water. Nearly
7,500 tons of steel plates have been
used in the comstruction of the hull.
Her total cost reaches $8,000,000.
It is sald by one of the chief naval
constructors that at the time the
Connecticut was laid down she was
admitted by European naval experts
to be the best designed and most
powerful warship of her class in ex-
istence, and she is only exceeded at
present by the English Dreadnought,
of 18,000 tons, whose gunfire range
is somewhat greater.
The dominant feature and supreme
importance of the Connecticut as a
destrnctive engine of war is centered
in her terrific battery of long range
guns. Four huge 12-inch breech-
loading rifles, navy’s latest model, 48
Largest naval searchlight in the
world.
feet long, are mounted in two tur-
rets, one forward and one aft. These
guns are capable of hurling 850,-
pound projectiles with sufficient
force to penetrate armor and sink a
ship six to eight miles away. Be-
sides these, eight 8-inch and twelve
7-inch guns complete the main bat-
tery, while twenty 3-inch and 12-
pounders are installed, intended
principally to ward off torpedo boat
attacks.
The hull of the Connecticut is pro-
tected at the waterline by a complete
belt of armor 9 feet 38 inches in
width and 11 inches thick, which
runs 200 feet amidships, while the
front and back of this, embracing
the magazine spaces, {8 9 inches un-
til it gradually decreases to 4 inches
in thickness at the stem and stern.
The casement armor, from the top of
the waterline to the edge of the 7-
inch gun ports and upper casement,
is 6 inches thick throughout.
The work of placing in the turrets
the four 12-inch guns, weighing
125,000 pounds each, was a delicate
engineering feat. The powerful elec-
tric crane Hercules, however, with
its strong coils of wire rope, slowly
lifted these monster weapons and
lowered them safely into their prop-
er positions. To sustain the shock of
fire a large 13-ton recoil! jacket is
slipped over the breech end of each
gun. The rebound is about five or
six feet.
A belt of armor 12 inches thick
forms the front projecting plate of
the rotating turrets of these guns.
One of the record breaking equip- |
ments is the largest naval search-
light in the world, placed high up on
th front of the military mast. The
projector is 5 feet in diameter, and
on a clear night an object 10 by 20
feet can be picked up at a distance of
from four to five miles at sea. This
cost $4,000, and was made in Ger-
many.
Two of the most vital spots on the
ship are away below the waterline,
in the dynamo rooms, one forward
and one aft. Here are the great gen-
erating machines. Each plant is
capable of operating the ship inde-
pendently in case the other should
be incapacitated and put out of or-
der in battle. The electrical equip-
ment is the most modern and exten-
sive so far used on a vessel, operat-
ing some seven hundred and fifty
lights in the battle service and about
five hundred more in general light-
ing.
Twenty-five miles of wiring is
used, which provides for an elabo-
rate intercommunication between all
parts of the ship, directing the firing,
range finding of all batteries, sub-
merged torpedo tubes and, fn fact,
controlling the complete manoeuver-
‘ing operations of the ship in time of
action or otherwise.
One of the striking acessories for
gun loading is an ingenious dlect °
rammer for driving Rompe the zhe

IDEAL SAFETY WINDOW LOCK.
—————
Ventllates Without Sacrificing Secus-
ity or Defacing Sashes.
The value of ventilation to health
is acknowledged by every thinking
person. To ventilate without sacri-
ficing security, without mutilating
sashes, has been looked forward to
by all bullders and owners. Such
perfection seems possible in the
safety window lock shown in the il-
lustration. The lock consists of &
rachet and lock, whose bolt, pressed
by a spring, is thrust into the de-
pressions or rachets and prevents
the raising of the window. The cas-
ing of the lock is made of the hard-
est steel, and the spring of fine wire.
It cannot be broken by the use of a
jimmy, neither is it capable of be-

ing tampered with by means of a
wire, string or knife. Even when
the glass is cut and the burglar tries
to manipulate the lock through the
opening, he is helpless, as his arms
act as a wedge between the sashes
and prevent their movement. The
sashes can be raised or lowered a few
inches for ventilation, but even then
they are safe from the burglar. When
it is desired to raise the sash to its
full height it is only necessary to pull
out the spring bolt. It locks auto-
matically and all danger of forget-
ting to fasten the windows before
retiring is thus entirely obviated.
Steer Trained to Stalk Sheep.
In a number of counties lying on
both sides of the Sacramento River,
in the central portion of California,
every winter by the depredations of
countless flocks of wild geese, which
swarm over the broad grain fields
destroy the young, sprouting grain-
stalks. Indeed, so serious has this
annual invasion become that nearly
all the large farms have employees
who regularly patrol.the fields and
do nothing but keep the feathered
pests on the wing.
One of the most novel blinds or
stalkers ever used im that section, or
any other, for the purpose of destroy-
ing the geese, is that of a Colusa far--
mer who lives on the bank of the
Sacramento. He has a big red steer
which he has trained to stalk geese.
The steer walks round a flock of
geese in an ever decreasing circle,
his master, armed with a repeating
shotgun, walking beside him, but on
the further side from the flock.
The geese have become so used te
seeing animals grazing near that
they pay no attention to them; so
the farmer is enabled to get within
shotgun distance and pour a Broad-
side into the flock while it is feeding
on the ground, and two more shots
before the birds are out of range
when they rise.
This dumb hunter is held in great
esteem by its owner and his family,
it is needless to state, and receives
the best of everything.
The Symbol of an Epoch.
The universal use of one and two
dollar bills in the East always furn-
ishes a detail of contrast to people
from the West, where silver and gold
are the rule, and paper currency al-
most unknown. On the East Side of
New York even a fifty cent piece is
looked upon with some distrust by
newly arrived foreigners, who sel-
dom see anything larger than a
quarter in silver. Hand one out, and
it is subjected to scrutiny as careful
as a flve dollar bill in the Rockies.
A New Yorker was receiving
change from a Bowery barber, when
the latter, after searching through
his cash register for another bill to
make up the amount apologized pro-
fusely.
“Any other day but Saturday r
could give you paper,” he explained,
‘“but to-day there ain't any other
way out of it. Everybody around
here is clean out of change. I'll have
to give you this Bryan.”
And he handed out a silver dollar.
Due to Wooden Shoes.
The use of wooden shoes may ex-
plain why the exportation of boots,
shoes and sole leather from the
Untiled States to France is compara-
tively small. There is, however, in
addition to the peasant class using
only wooden shoes, another smeller
rural class wearing cheap leather
shoes. The wooden shoes are made
from walnut and birch. the latter be-
ing the cheap omnes and retailing at
20 to 30-cents a pair. Entirely wood-
en shoes are carved out of a solid
piece of wood. When the sole only is
used the split leather uppers are fas-
tened on with nalls.
