The Dublin Intematlonn! Exposition, which was opened
by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, contains a notable
display of Industries and manufactures. The art exhibit
includes paintings loaned by King Edward and by the
Russian Emperor, and the entire collection on view Is
valued at $3,000,000. Japan has a special building on
the grounds: so have Canada and New Zealand, and the
Irish Industries are boused in a magnificent structure.

THE PICTUBES.
My little son, with puzzled, questioning
eyes, ■
Brought pictures for my wisdom to
make plain.
And slowly voiced his need In childish
wise.
Asking the meaning he had sought in
vain.
And some, by symbol, and by holy sign,
I could translate, and set his face
aglow ;
But there were others I could not de
fine—
I knew the meanings, but he could not
know.
My little son fares forth to realms of
sleep,
While I sometimes nnto the depths of
night
Be« pictures of Ood's children sinking
deep
Beyond men's love—beyond their Fath
er's sight. ,
Bot still I hope that where my faltering
mind
Is filled with pity and with dull de
/ spalr,
God reads the meaning With a purpose
kind.
And does not cease to know, and love,
and care.
THE NEW OWNER
"Well," whispered Marlon to me, "I
guess It doesn't make any difference If
we did have to wear silk gowns that
you washed, turned, mended and made
over. Guess what I Just heard."
"What did you Just hear?" lasked.
"Why," proceeded Marlon, delight
edly, "I was standing over by those
ferns a minute ago and Just round the
corner I heard Mra Lewis say to
Claudia Brooks: 'I don't see bow the
Harcourt girls manage to dress bo
well," and Claudia—spiteful old thing
—said: 'I think they ought to be
•shamed; everybody knows they can't
afford It.' But Just then that grand
looking Mr. Maxwell came over to them
and It wasn't two minutes before I
heard him ask who that striking girl
with the red roses in her hair was
That was you, Eleanor. Now, aren't
you flattered?"
"Dreadfully," I answered. "Anything
more?"
"Yes, Indeed," whispered Marlon.
"The best of It all was that he asked
right away If you were one of the Har
courts who had owned the old place up
town, and "he asked her—Oh, look!"
Marlon's volubility was checked at
this point by the appea ranee of the al
ready mentioned Mr. Maxv.-ell with our
hostess on his arm. He was a grave,
handsome man, about 30, I thought,
and after Mrs. Lewis had presented
him he sat down beside me. He had
talked about a good many things and
bad almost wearied of my monosylla
bic replies, I fancy, when he finally
brought up Harcourt. and I proceeded
to astonish him by forgetting that we
were strangers, and telling him the
most ridiculous things with character
istic recklessness. I told him how we.
Marlon and I, went a round about way
to avoid passing the dear old place, and
bow, when there was no way out of it,
we went by with our beads turned
away, because we loved It so. I told
him we had been born there, and that
every big room and every dingy panel
brought up a memory that we loved.
And It was not until Marlon came for
nie to go home that 1 realized that be
bad. listened to me aliently for about
an hour, and that Mrs. Lewis was an
gry with me for monopolizing the lion
of the evening. I went home terribly
ashamed, and convinced that, notwith
standing that be looked very sympa
thetic, be was probably shocked.
But some days later, after Mr. Max
inll called with Mra. Lewis and was
m
so nice, I guess he didn't mind after
all. And in the weeks following he
came frequently and we met at several
places. Somehow I told that man ev
erything—I couldn't seem to help it.
He always knew Just, when to smile,
and I never said a silly thing to cover
up a deeper feeling In all those weeks
that I did not see sympathy and un
derstanding in his face. Well, It was
a pleasant time as I remember It, and
I got to thinking a good deal about him
and to liking him very much. There
was only one thing to dampen our
pleasure ; one day the news came to us
that Mr. Griffin, who held a mortgage
upon Harcourt, had sold It to strang
ers, and Marlon and I told our-elves
that from that time our claim npon it
would be only that of any other out
siders, who might look at Its dear old
walls and pass it by. As I say, this
darkened our lives a little, but there
were still Mr. Maxwell's visits to look
forward to, so It was worth while ex
isting.. But one evening, when he call
ed, he said : "Miss Eleanor, I am going
away to-morrow and . want you to do
something for me. Will you?"
"1 don't know," 'I answered in a low
voice. Somehow I couldn't for the life
of me manage anything else. But he
didn't seem to notice that I said noth
ing about regretting his goLpg away
He simply asked me If I would go
down to Harcourt with him. I was
too miserable to resist, and we went.
My heart beat heavily as we walked
up the dear old oak areuue, and when
we had mounted the broad steps and
opened the door I could not Bee the
familiar dim old hall because my eyes
were blinded with tears. "Oh, wen,"
thought I, as I stealthily dried them
away, "you're a dear old place, but
you're nothing to me now, and I've got
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?*
no right to cry about you." But later,
when we went up to the long hall above
and found that some Impudent person
had removed our few remaining pieces
of old furniture and had bung new
paintings there over crimson hangings,
I feit I couldu't stand any more. "What
does this mean?" I cried.
"The purchaser hopes ' > live here,"
explained Mr. Maxwell, "and he Is get
ting it ready for occupancy."
Here, I suppose, the poor man was
bewildered enough, for I had restrained
myself as long as I could and I rushed
to the one place where the hateful
crimson did not cover the panels, laid
my head against their friendly support
and burst out crying.
"Oh, why did you bring me here?" I
said. "I can't stand everything. I
would rather have this old -'ace burn
ed to the ground with only its poor old
chimney left to show where It stood
thau than to see It fitted with the most
beautiful thing» In the world by strang
ers. Everything I care about turns out
wrong," I concluded with a sob. "I
am losing my home, and now you "
I stopped, frozen with uorror. What
had I said! But Norman Maxwell —
denly put me Into the window seat and
sat down beside me. "Eleanor, look at
me," he said. But I absolutely couldn't
lift my head, so he put his hand under
my reluctant chin and turned my face
toward him. "Eleanor, he went on,
"don't you know I've loved you ai. e

a little more about me than for an or

"Oh !" I exclaimed, very much afraid
that my stupidity had forced him Into
It "I shouldn't have said—I didn't
mean to " But he put his arms
around me and then I knew It wasn't
because of what I had said.
Well, I was so happy that I cried

THE AMBER OF SANTO DOMINGO,
Found In Considerable Quantities—
Conditions Under Which It Occurs.
It is an Interesting fact that Santo
Domingo is "one of the few places In
the world where amber occurs in any
considerable quantities. As Is well
known, the bulk of the supply used In
the arts comes from the nelghmorhood
of Königsberg, on the Baltic seacoast.
There it occurs in the lower oligo
cene, and appears to have been depos
ited originally In glauconitlc beds of
clayey nature, which was afterward

Amber Is simply fossilized rosin, de
rived apparently from certain conifer
ous trees. The conditions under which
it occurs in Santo Domingo do not ap

DOG WAS HARMLESS.
rave Policeman Bllsaetf Chane« to
Get a Medal.
The occupants of the residence at
446 Hale street came to Policeman An
he should try his baud at routing the
enemy.
Intent It seemed, upon making the
picture all the worse, the frightened
natives who had sought out Policeman
Anderson put in good time while the
party was approaching the house in
ln describing the terrible foamlngs at
the mouth, the greenlsh-hued eyes of
the hydrophoblacally Inclined canine,
and, in general, the unmistakable signs
evinced by his dogship to the effect
that It had started on the warpath
with blood In Its eye.
Just as the policeman was In the
net of entering the house he spied a
goose-necked hoe.
"An Ideal weapon," he exclaimed,
with set Jaws and a gleam In his steely
gray eyes, which betoken sudden and
.terrible death for the dog which had
dared to encroach upon the privacy of
a man's hearthstone.
The room had been deserted while
the policeman was coming to the res
cue, and he was followed by a few of
the braver ones of the family, who en
tered the apartment on tiptoe.
"Yes! Yes! Be quick, for God's sake
be quick, man ; that dog may leap upon
you at any moment"
The policeman poked the murderous
looking hoe under the clean-sheeted
"company bed," and a thunderous
growl caused his blood to run cold.
After many skillful manipulations he
succeeded In hemming ln the beast
and then dragged from the mysterious
hiding place the dog with rabies which
had caused all the trouble.
It's really a shame to go any further
-—but here it comes.
The mad dog, to use Policeman An
derson's own language, was nothing
more than a "shaggy little old 'nigger'
dog," and as it emerged, dusty, from
under the bed, it fawned upon the
nervy pollcemau and licked his out
stretched hand.
INFANTRY ON THE MARCH.
Itngth of Pace and Speed ln tki
Armies of the World.
The average rate of march of the
armies of to-day so far as drill Is con
cerned, is about 120 paces a minute, or
about two steps a second. However,
there are some small differences ln the
different arms, and a few troops are
trained to march at a much higher rate
of speed.
The Russian soldier takes 112 to 116
steps a minute, the German 114, the
Austrian 115, the French, Italian and
United States 120. The French chas
seurs, however, make 145 and the Ital
ian Bersagllere 150.
The length of the pace should, of
course, also be considered. Tbe Rus
sian pace Is 28 inches, the Austrian
-9Mi, the French and Italian 30, while
the German Is 31% and therefore sur
passes all others.
The Russian soldier can therefore
cover In one minute from 77.1 to 90.2
yards, tbe Austrian 93.5, the French
and Italian 98.4, while the German cov
ers more than any—very nearly 100
yards.
But ln modern battle it is a question
of utilizing cover, rapidly moving over
short Intervals from cover to cover,
climbing over hedges and other obstrue^
tions, more than marching. Witness
the small and agile Japanese and the
tall, robust Russians.
Marching power comes into play in
getting troops Into position, but It Is
usually more staying power than the
capacity to march well at drill or man
euvers that counts In the long run.
Nevertheless, troops can be intelligent
ly trained to do both, and both will
come Into play In action.—New York
Sun.
