Stern, hard fea tured pain Expires and lets her weary prisoners go. The fiercest agonies have shortest reign, And after dreams of horror comes again The welcome morning with Its rays of peace. Oblivion, softly wiping out the stain. Makes the strong secret pangs of shame to. cease. Remorse Is virtue's root. Its fair Increase Are fruits of Innocence and blessedness.

From the bark of trees and shrubs the Japanese make scores of papers, which are far ahead of ours. The walls of the Japanese houses ire wooden frames covered with thin papsr, which keeps out the wind but lets in the light, and when one com parea these paper-walled "doll houses" with the gloomy bamboo cabins of the inhabitants of the island of Java or the small windowed huts of our fore fathers, one realizes that, without dass and in a rainy climate, these ngenious people have solved in a re uarkable way tne problem of lighting heir dwellings and, at least in a neasure, of keeping out the cold. Their oiled papers are astonishing y cheap and durable. As a cover for .is load of tea when a rainstorm ivertakes him, the Japanese farmer spreads over it a tough, pliable cover >f oiled paper which is almost as im icrvious as tarpaulin and as light as ;ossamer. He has doubtless carr'ed his cover for years, neatly packed ?.way somewhere about his cart. The 'rickshaw" coolies in tho large cities vear rain mantles of this oiled paper, vhich cost less than 18 cents and ast for a year or more with constant use. An oiled tissue paper which is as tough as writing paper can be had at the stationers' for wrapping up deli cate articles. Grain and meal sacks are almost always made of bark paper in Japan, fcr it is not easily penetrated by weevils and other insects. But perhaps the most remarkable of all the .papers which find i common use in the Japanese household are the leather papers of which the to bacco pouches and pipe cases are made. They are almost as tough as french kid, so translucent that one can nearly see through them, and as pliable and soft as calkskin. The ma terial is as thick as cardboard, but as llexible as kid.?National Geographic Magazine. "White Coal" in France. While New York is groaning about being asked to pay $140 per lamp for electric lighting, Consul Nasor, in Grenoble, France, reports the lighting of the entire city by electricity gene rated twenty-seven miles away. Or nate standards, thirty feet high, with curving pendants terminating with powerful arc lights, have been erected in the streets, and the full illumina tion, after a period of testing, is soon to be made the object of a festival night. Sixty dollars is the cost of in stalling and lighting a single lamp foi a year, but the subsequent cost, foi lighting simply, will be compara tively small?say one-sixth of the for mer cost. Wooden Russia. The vast forest areas of Russia ir Europe, which cover nearly 500,00u 000 acres, or 30 per cent of the entin area of the country, are aptly termei "Wooden Russia." Few people win have not traveled through this par of the country can form any ide; of the country's boundless wealth ii timber. Houses built of any othe: material are enitrely unknown out side of the great cities, and wood con stitutes the principal fuel. The for est belt in Siberia, called the "Tai ga," stretches in a direct line froo the Ural Mountains to the Pacific fo four thousand, miles and is in n. nj parts five hundred miles broad. Thii is all the property of the Tsar. New Sportsman's Paradise. Sir John Forrest is trying to bor row a million pounds In order to con struct a transcontinental r?.ilwa: from the eastern states to western Australia. If this is done, amont other things a' new sportsman's par adise may be opened up. Accordinj to a government officer who has beei examining this largely unknown conn try, it abounds in kangaroos, emus pueasants and rabbits. There will b' some work for the ethnologist, as the blacks of this region are said tc practice all the old tribal rites, some of'them horrible. Royal Photographs. Both the king and queen give away an enormous number of their photo graphs to various members of differ ent reigning royal families every year, says the Tatler. When the king and queen give their photographs to any reigning sovereign their majesties sign the photograph beneath the words, "Yours sincerely," but the words are omitted when the recipient Is not a reigning sovereign. The Ger man emperor has the largest collec tion of autographed royal photographs in the world, including over 8^-0 of King Edward and 800 of the King of Denmark.

It would seize me suddenly and for a few minutes I would be un able to speak audibly, and my breath 4 would be greatly interfered with. I would be obliged to gasp for breath. "I finally concluded that it was some catarrhal affection which probably ex cited the spasm. It interfered with my vocation as a preacher, attacking mo occasionally in the pulpit.
