A Well Spent Day
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done
And, counting, find
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard.
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where It went.
Then you may count that day well spent
But. If through all the livelong day
You've cheered no heart by yea or nay,
If through it all
You've nothing done that you can. trace
That brought the sunshine to one face.
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost
Then count that day as worse than lost

A CITY OF SILENCE.
Condition* That Make Santa Cruz do la
Sierra Noiselese.
Amid gusts of Scotch mist and under
heavy skies we drifted Inertly Into a
Band paved, silent, tropical city street,
past rows of languid stares, and on the
last afternoon of the year, with Co
chabnmba (a town in the center of Bo
livia) 335 miles behind us, we sat
down dripping and sunburned in the
central plaza of Santa Cruz de la
Sierra.
The capital of all the vast tropical
department of eastern Bolivia owes its
fame largely to its isolation. Far
$way one hears much of it; oijce there,
iie finds little. Like the eminent men
of many secluded corners of South
America, it i§_ important only through
the exceeding unimportance of Its
neighbors.
It la a city of silence. Not only Its
\ bare feet, but its primitive ox carts
make not a sound In the sand streets.
There is no industry to add its strident
voice, and every street fades ,away at
each end into the trackless, whisper
ing, Jungled montana.
In this rainy season, which begins in
earnest with the new year and lasts
through April, it had many muddy
pools and ponds, along the edges of
some of which the streets crawled by
on long heaps of the skulls of cattle,
bleached snow white by the sun.
The larger ponds were almost lakes
and carried the mind back to Kandy,
Ceylon. Frequently the streetB were
flooded deep for an hour or more until
the thirsty sand had drunk up the trop
ical deluge. For these eventualities the
town has a system of its own. At ev
ery street corner four rows of weather
blackened piles protrude a foot or more
above the sand, and along these step
ping stones the shod minority passes
from one roofed sidewalk to another.
The houses invariably consist of a
large room, by day opening directly on
the porch sidewalk, though the best of
them are rather bare in appearanco,
despite a small forest of frail cane
chairs, black In color, as the best pro
vided Cruceno family is not rich by
our standards.—Henry A. Franck, in
Century Magazine.
RAGAMUFFIN ABYSSINIA.
It* Despotic Killers uoscena rrem
Menelik, Son of Solomon.
Abyssinia is the Ethiopia of the
Bible, and it lb almost unchanged since
the birth of civilization. The line of
despots that rule Abyssinia today are
the lineal descendants of Menelik, the
son of the queen of Sheba and King
Solomon. They seem to have inherited
very little of the well known wisdom
of their famous sire, however, for
Abyssinia is today the unregenerate
ragamuffin among nations—and also
the picturesque remnant of the world's
oldest civilization.
For Abyssinia, surrounded by trop
ical wilderness and without a seaport,
is a country apart from the modern
world—a country of turbaned and san
daled men, of veiled women wearing
silver anklets, of mighty hunters who
still take their game with leopards and
hawks as in Biblical days; a land
where gentlemen live by plunder and
monks by alms and a man has as many
wives as he can buy or steal;
Abyssinia is a fortress of antiquity,
defying the world by its sheer physical
impenetrability. But a few degrees
from the equator, it is a great mass of
igneus mountain ranges flung down
upon n tropical plain. Lower Abyssinia
is burning desert and fever ridden Jun
gle. The interior is healthy upland cut
by great gorges, many of which are
wholly impassable. In the midst of
this wilderness is Lake Tsana, forty
seven miles long and more than 5,000
feet above sea level. It is the source
of the Blue Nile.—Exchange.
Electricity In the White House.
The White House is said to have the
most intricate and complete electrical
system installed in any building in this
country. There are in the mansion
nearly 170 miles of wires providing for
3,000 incandescent lights, a bell system,
a private telephone system for the
president and his family exclusively,
burglar alarms, lire alarms and a pow
er system which supplies current to
ventilating fans and an automatic ele
vator.
Niagara by Electric Light.
Generally speaking, it is hard tP im
prove on nature, but those who have
seen Niagara falls lighted at night by
electricity are agreed that the effect
is far more impressive and beautiful
than anything that daylight affords.
The lights are of more than a hundred^
million candle power.—Youth's Com
panion.
The P. P.
"I put my faith in the wisdom of the
plain people," said the statesman.
"Yes," replied Senator Sorghum.
"The wisdom of the plain people is all
right. The only thing I fear is that
some of them are getting so that they
know too much."—Washington Star.
Small Comfort.
"Never despair. Somewhere beyond
the clouds the gun is shining."
"Yes, and somewhere below the sea
there's a solid bottom. But that doesn't
help a man when he falls overboard."
—Baltimore American.

"Yep; my wife and the storekeeper.
