Travelers beéame exhaust- ed; they stopped to rest; the fatal mountain sleepiness overpowered They came to a deep and narrow and rugged valley known as the Val- ley of Death because so many had been lost in its winter snows. The path wound from side to side, crossâ€" ing the roaring torrent of a river and recrossing it again and again. Deep chasms yawned between the rocks; precipices stretched up to the sky; the patches of snow grew larger and deeper, and the gullies overflowed with it. The excited dogs gathered around the young monk and he talked to them gently and quietly. wistfully at the path that stretched before them. ‘ H486 How to Build a Temple. . A traveller whose delight was to glean wisdom from every man he met 1 was watching several masons at work won the walls of a building. ‘ “What are you doing?" he asked one ‘ of them. “I’m laying brick,” the workman re- second labor-er, who was working rapidly but carelessly. “What are you doing?" he again inquired. , “I’m earning my wages,” the man replied. But the work was rough, and mortar spattered the wall. The wall ahead was smooth and true, and a workman was bending over it with a glowing face. 7 “What are you doing?" the traveler asked him. The workman looked up. “l‘m build- ing a temple, sir," he answered. “God speed you then," the traveler replied, “for a noble purpose even in the humblest work builds a temple both without and within.” “Indeed I guess that is all,” the tra- veler said to himself; the man was listless and ap‘pvareflly had little heart in his work. ‘ Voice Training for Pageâ€"boys.

Mars was the baby, Jupiter’s grandson; and when Jupiter -had marched away to shake hands, xjthe little rascal of a Mars had jumped into his grandfather’s warm place. It was very comfortable, but he obeyed and came forward, looking as mis- chievous as the rogue that he was. “Oliver!” and Oliver came forward and shook hands in friendly fashion. (To be concluded.) “They are our children, our braves, our lay brothers,” said the father with a smile. “See what gentlemen they are when they are introduced.

In the centre of the room is a gigantic crystal chandelier, while round the walls runs a. carving of flowers, with a light placed in the heart of each blossom. This room cost $250,000. It is one of these palaces which is to be pulled down to make way for a block of millionaire flats on the same lavisih scale. Names of Cities. Christiania, which is to become Oslo, is only one of many cities which have undergone name changes. St. Petersburg became Petrograd. To- ronto was once York. But old London appears to have been London as far back as history goes. The derivation of the name can only be conjectured. Some trnce it to Llyn-Din, "the town on the lake.” One authority prefers the derivation “Luauâ€"dun,” the citiy cf the moon, and notes that a temple to Diana, the moon-goddess, is said to have occupied the site of St. Paul’s. Similarly Greenwich is traced to Mr. Stephen S. Marchand, for ex- ample, spent $1,000,000 on his bed- room alone. The furniture in it is either ebony, inlaid with ivory and gold, or ivory, inlaid wi-th ebony and gold. The ebony inlaid bedstead is hung with purple damask curtains that cost $16 per yard, while the pan- elled walls are hung with gold Genoese velvet that cost $40 per yard. Each chair in this room is worth $40,000. Serious Enough, However. Applicants for positioins on the police force of a certain Middle West- ern town are of course required to un- dergo a careful physical examination. During the examination of one candi- date the physician asked: “What did your grandfather die of?" A similar lavis’hness obtains in all the millrionaires' homes. The cities of the world have been ransacked for measures, with a. reckless disregard of cost. Venetian and Damascus glass, tapestries and velvets, jewels, books, and paintings, everything costly, rare and beautiful that can be bought for money has been secured by America’s uncrowned kings.
