I wanted to stand in the blaze of glory That turned to crimson the pcak> of snow. And the winds from the west all breathed a story Of realms and regions I longed to know. I saw on the garden's south side growing The brightest blossoms that breathe of June. I saiv in the cast how the sun was giow^ ^ And the gold air shook with a wild bird's ? I heard the drip of a silver fountain. And the pulse of a young laugh throbbed with glee: But still I looked out over the mountain Where unnamed wonders awaited me.

The only thing which worried Mrs. Summers?Gilroy took dinner with Charlie that day?was the fact that neither boy seemed to care very much about leaning back in his _ chair, and that both of them shrunk from being touched or handled, however gently. "Ouch!" cried Charlie, sharply, when his older sister laid her hand on his shoulder, while Gilroy's romp with the baby wasn't half so lively as usual.

"And mine like flowers," whisperet Gilroy, while Mrs. Summers smilet and nodded. But when Jessie askec for an explanation the boys onlj laughed and told her to wait until tin P circus opened.

We must have looked tine as the 'Tattooed Fartners.' " "You did," said Emma, heartily, "but, my! how your arms and necks must hurt, and how they'll hurt tomorrow. Mine were just awful until Aunt Sarah put some cold cream on them and bathed them with witch hazel. You'd better get mamma or sister Anna to do it for you right off." "Oh, rubbish," cried both boys, laughing, as they rushed away to get some of the ice cream Mrs. Summers was serving on the side lawn? the audience bought the cream for the benefit of the Fresh-Air Fund, but the i circus performers were to have ail 1 they wanted for nothing. "I guess i we can stand it without coddling, kiddie; we've been in bathing often enough to know how sun blisters feel.

"Say, mamma," he called, softly, ; "won't you put some cold cream or witch hazel or something on the back of my neck? It's smarting just awful, and it won't let me go- to' sleep."

Charlie looked at Gilroy, Gilroy ncducd, and the boys owned up. "We got the idea from you," explained Charlie.

The first order lens for a lighthouse which is mounted in the United States Treasury Department's exhibit in the Government Building at the TanAmerican Exposition Is the strongest in the world. It is a new device, and is not yet used by the United States Government. On? or two may be bought for dangerous points peculiarly situated, but the lens is so expensive that its general use is not ex jJt'iiru. .vi a jinijH-r cicvniuiu, n warranted to show a light for thirty miles. The cost of the lens, without any of the fittings, is $24,f?00. The lens is a hollow eircular strueture. with a cone-like top. It is eight feet ten and a half inches high, and has a diameter of six feet four iuehes. The structure consists of a brass framework iuto which pieces of glass are set. The lower part of the strueture is encircled by eight parallel belts of glass, each belt being divided into twenty-four sections. Above those, and forming the middle of the lens, are sixteen belts of glass, divided into the same number of sections. The cony-like top is encircled by eighteen bells divided in the same way. Each piece of glass is cut so that It radiates toward a common centre, thus concentrating (lie rays on a certain point. ! '""here arc 100S pieces of glass In the lens. No pie a? is less than an Inch thick, and all except those near the top are five or six inches long. The whole makes a dazling array in the daylight. With a powerful lamp inside the lens, there will be few who will earo to try to look at it at night from any point within the Government building. It is mounted on a revolving platform, which stands on a base . i ?-til \-r\ S/.nt The lamp which is to burn inside the lens is three feet high. It consists of a brass can. sixteen inches li!gh and fourteen inches In diameter, with a burner six inches in diameter, nr.d a globe one foot hicrli. In the burner are six circular wicks on? inside the other, and each controlled by a separate lever. The largest wick could be slipped over a four-inch jrun projectile and the smallest has a diameter of about one inch. The glass of which the globe is made is a quarter of an inch thick. The mechanism operating the lens Is so arranged that the light is Cashed every twenty-four seconds. The Diet of the Phoebe. Among the early spring arrivals at the 5>*orth none are more welcome than the phoebe. Though naturally building its nest under an overhanging cliff of rock or earth, or in the mouth of a cave, its preference for the vicinity of farm buildings is so marked that in the more thickly settled parts of the country the bird Is seldom seen at nnv irreat distance | from a farmhouse, except where a j bridge spans some stream, affording j a secure spot for a nest. Its confiding disposition has rendered it a great favorite, and consequently it is seldom disturbed. It breeds throughout the United States east of the Great Plains | and winters from the South Atlantic ! and Gulf States southward. The phoebe subsists almost entirely upon insects, most of which are caught ! on the wing. These species are mostly harmful. Small wild fruits and berries comprise the vegetable food. y.o cultivated fruits are disturbed by tb? phoebe. It is evident that a pair o: phoebes must materially reduce the number of insects near a garden or field, as the birds often, if not always, raise tw'o broods a year, and each brood numbers from four to six young. ?Los Angeles Times. Tried Both "Way*. Come of the inmates of a Yorkshire asylum were engaged in sawing wood, and an attendant thought that one old fellow, who appeared to be working as hard as anybody, bad not much to show for his labor. Approaching him the attendant soon discovered the cause of this. The old man had turned his saw upside down, with the teeth in the air, and was working away with the back of the tool. "Here, I say, J ," remarked the attendant, "what are you doing? You'll never cut the wood in that fashion. Turn the saw over!" The old man paused and stared contemptuously at the attendant. "Did ta iver try a saw this way?" he asked. "Well, no," replied the attendant. "Of course I haven't." "Then hod thy noise, inon," was the Instint rejoinder. "I've tried both ways, I hev, and"?impressively?"this is t' easiest."?London Spare Moments. Why Thej Went Smoothly. The following ctory Is told by a traveler about one of the local railways in Ireland: "We were bounding along, he said, at the rate of about seven miles an hour and the whole train was shaking terribly. I expected every moment to see my benes protruding through my skin. Passengers were rolling from one end of the carriage to the other. I held 011 firmly to the arms of the scat. Presently we settled down a bit quieter? at least, I could keep my hat on and my teeth didn't chatter. There was a quiet-looking man opposite mo. I looked up with a ghastly smile, wishing to appear cheerful and raid: "We are going a little smoother, I see." "Yes," he said; "wo're off the Ii'dc new."?London Spare Moments. Jt Safety Device. To provide against the possible sericus results following the giving out cf an automobile's brakes while aso hill snvs Automobile Ton WUUlli^ U VMrf V ? # ics, a French vehicle is provided with the following device: There is a disc with rachet teeth at the hub of the wheel. A pawl is kept suspended above it by a cord witn a ring, the ring lying in a hook close to the driver'c hand. By unhooking the ring the pawl falls cn the ratchet disc, and whenever the motion of the wheel is reversed the pawl falls into the teeth and the wheels cease to revolve. It thus takes effect the moment the vehicle commences to run backward, unless the driver purposely keeps the pawl suspended. Speeches 1Ylifch Take Time. A Scottish minister was once asked how long he would require to prepare a speech. "That depends," said he, "upon how much time I am to occupy in its delivery. If I am to speak for a quarter of an hour, I should like a week to prepare it; if I am to speak for half an hour, three days will do; if I am to go on as long as I like, I : m ready now."?San Francisco Argonaut.

SENTIMENT among the citizens of several of the Southern and Middle Western States, notably Louisiana, Mississippi, Illinois and Tennessee, in favor of improving the highways, is Just now at white heat. Under the direction of the National Good Roads Association mass meetings and conventions are held in many of the cities find towns. and the subject of good roads is discussed and dilated upon everywhere by champions of the movement with earnestness and understanding. On the strength of the benefits which, unmistakably, have resulted from smooth and permanent highways wherever they have been built, tbo good roads agents are striving to impress upon the people that the maintenance in their respective localities of roads that are sensibly, not to say scientifically, constructed is a duty they owe to themselves and to succeeding generations. The agitation certainly is producing important results. Loading newspapers in the States mentioned are doing much to help along the work. The Nov.* Orleans Times-Democrat, for example, has printed a series of interviews with representative r'Mzens in various parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, and they leave no doubt of the sincerity aud vigor with which the good roads movement is conducted. We quote some extracts from interviews with residents iu three large towns of Louisiana. A progressive landholder says: "It Is for the agricultural interests to realize that they can haul twice as much of their products over a good _ - ? ? Irftnt T dnn't rona as umt um know* anything berter for tltis parish than the inauguration of a movement of this kind." A prominent physician expresses himself thus: "Good roads, like good schools, are the most inviting objects io immigration. Coupled with the fertility of our soil, good roads will surely result in bringing hither capital and immigration." A largo Louisianan planter takes this view of the matter: "Good roads are an object lesson tc the capitalist, home seeker and man of moderate means. Wherever lie sees good roads he is assured that it is a community in which he can safely invest, satisfied that he will have good schools. Quick and easy transportation of produce to and from market, and everything which can be desired in an enlightened and Christian community." Here are the opinions of a wide awake farmer of the same State: "There is no surer, safer or more expeditious way of building up and developing flie resources of a country than by the construction and maintenance of good roads. They will always Invite the home-seeker, as well as the capitalist, each of whom is assured of easy transportation to market for his produce, as well as of educational, religious and other advantages incident to such a combination of happy circumstances." A prominent lawyer and planter says: | "The absence of good roads frei queiitly means a lower market when ! products reach their destination; loss i and delay from the failure to receive articles promptly when needed, and a large loss resulting from the wear and tear of vehicles and horses and payment of Increased time to teamsters." We might go on quoting almost Indefinitely similar opinions gathered > by the Times-Democrat from citizens of Louisiana and Mississippi?munij cipal officers, bank presidents, cler: gymen, wholesale and retail merchants, farmers and others.. { The good roads sentiment in the | part of the country referred to has j been greatly stimulated by the recent , undertaking on the part of the Na; tional Good Roads Association and , the Illinois Central Railroad, to run a train, specially equipped for practical road making, from New Orleans to Chicago. The "Good Roads Special," as it is called, has already given demonstrations in road building at New Orleans, Natchez and Vicksburg. I It then proceeded northward and I stepped at fifteen or more places. At each place a specimen road at least a ! mile long was constructed and left as an object lesson to people who would like to have open highways* twelve months in the year.?New York Sun. I Improvement in Country Roads* Americans have never been slow about doing things, but we may be | said to be slow about doing some j things well. It was not, for example, j until the bicycle came Into vegue that pconle thought very seriously about good roads, and even yet in many j parts of the country, especially through : the middle West and the South, the buggy and carriage are alike stored away for three or four months cut bf the year, the reads being in no condition for any such vehicles. And even when the bicycle became so popular, j bicycle riding was confined very largely to the streets and boulevards, the most uninteresting of all the ways for bicycles. During the past five years more attention has been given to good roads, and now that the automobile as well as the bicycle is here to stay there will probably be greater development in the so-called "country I roads" during the next few years than has ever been known In this country beforo. i Golf, too, is doing Its part In bringing the people into the open air and in touch with country life. It is difficult to understand how we have gone along for so many years with only one here and there appreciating the beauties in nature that lie almost at our very door.

It was a proud day for the great blue heron of the Washington Zoological Park when he caught a half-grown rat in his licuse. The first the keepers knew of it the squealing of the rat was heard, and then the heron stalked out of his house with longer, prouder strides than usual, and all his feathers raised in glee. The rat was in his beak and was squealing for dear life. But the merciless heron strode over to the water tank and ducked the rat several times, and then, while it was yet alive, swallowed it whole. After this he settled down to digest his dinner, but somehow or other the meal didn't agree with him, and later in the day he disgorged the rat ofciy partly digested. !

A Cyrano de eergerac in tne ucaan nas ; Been Discovered, Flving-fish, called by naturalists "Exocateus," is a common sight to all voyagers in tropical and sub-tropicdl sea?. Their usual length is from ten to twelve inches, though one eighteen inches lorg has recently been described.' They are enabled to execute flying leaps by means of the great development of their forward or pectoral fins. During flight the fins are kept quietly distended, without any motion. Their flight is rapid, greatly exceeding that of a ship going ten miles an hour, but gradually descrcasing in velocity and rarely extending beyond a distance of 500 feet. Another curious fish is the halfbeak, which has an extraordinarily long protu- j berance from the end of the lower jaw. They usually attain a length of about a foot. Of course, they have not the power or flight as the flying-fishes have. Yet naturalists considered them closely related to the flying-fish. The relationsip has been fully confirmed by a unique specimen discovered in the ichthyological collection of the Academy of Na- ! tural Sciences and named "Hemicxocse- j tus candiinactulatus," or "the half flying-fish with a spotted tail." This curious creature, although only a little over an inch in length, is certainly one of the most interesting discoveries recently made in ichthyology. It has a tail and 'srge forward fins exactly like the flyingfish, but its head is wholly different, for, the lower jaw is extended into a beaklike structure, the mouth being at its base. In this respect it exactly resembles the halfbeaks. Hemiexoaetus is, there fore, an intermediate form connecting two important grorps of fishes, and his advent upon the ichthyological horizon will, no doubt, be hailed with much interest, as it is just such forms as these that are needed in zoological science to bridge over gaps in the genealogical history of many animate creatures. The specimen in question was obtained from the western coast of Mexico, in the Gulf of California.?Philadelphia Record.
