AFTER SORROW.”
‘*There is a peace that cometh after sorrow,"’ Of hope surrendered, not of hope fulfilled;
; A peace that looketh not upon tomorrow,
blood maker, a nerve tonic’
But calmly on a tempest that is stilled;
A peace which lives not now in joy’s excesses Nor in the happy life of love secure, Butin the unerring strength the heart pos- sesses Of conflicts won while learning to endure.
A peace there is in sacrifice secluded, A life subdued, from will and passion free. "Tis not the peace which over Eden brooded, But that which triumphed in Gethsemane. —Jessie Rose Gates in Century.
CHICAGO TO BE A VENICE.
Five Hundred Years Hence the Windy City Wil Stand In a Great Lake.
Chicago has troubles ahead/of her—none of your ordinary, everyday troubles, but the real thing in mental disquieters. True, it is 500 years off, but posterity must be considered.
Professor G. K. Gilbert ec? the United States geological survey is responsibie for this prediction. Fora number of years the professor has been making notes of the rise and fall of the great lakes from his own observa*tons and from the records of the government surveys. From these he declares the waters at the lower end of Lake Michigan rise six inehos in century and that the lake is preparing to art iat my oe edge to the infinite discomfort of cagoan of the future.
If his fig spéak truly, the whole dis trict covered by the great lakes is un goings change of level, and he believes will only bea miatter of time before their outlet into the Atlantic is closed and a new one through the basin of the Missis- sippi ts opencd. As the Tarid in the neigh» -borhood of Chicago . the lake shore, it is there fessor Gil- bert has located the outlet of the future, But as the waters only rise at the rate of one inch in ten years, it is plainly to be
seen there is mo immediate danger to the
Windy City’s real estate valuation.
In fact, 500 years will have. be- fore the ery of the gondolier w gin to be heard in the waterways of “the western Venice and the clang of the cablecar is hushed forever. Then the real trouble will begin. And in another such trifling period —for years are as but seconds in the pre- dictions of the professor—the formation of the new outlet from the lakes to the
Mississippi will have taken place, and over °
the site of the Chicago of today a migh»y river will be jiowing. , ’
After Chicago has been disposed of tlic professor predicts trouble for the Niagara Falls hack drivers and newly wedded cou- ples. The latter will haye to seek new fields to exhibit themselyes in, and this will take away the solé support of the for- mer. In 2,500 years from now Niagara will be merely an intermittent stream and after another 500 years there will mot be aven a rivulet there.
The only consolation remaining for Chi- cago in all this is that, even if New York does exist, she won’t have Niagara at her

DISMISSING A WEAKLING.,
The Poor Fool Could Not See That Me Had Her Wena.
Reginald Hanscomb stopped in the hall and nervously fumbled at the rita of his hat, meanwhile gazing into Po- cahontas Poindexter’s eyes with a fond- ness that the beautiful girl could not mistake.
He opened his lips as if abont to speak, but the words that he sought to utter would not come, and the fair maiden gave a low, sweet sigh that was calculated to fill his heart with blowholes.
Yet he stood there, and she stood in front of him, looking and longing and wondering why he hesitated.
Once she Was almost tempted to take him back into the parlor and tell him that it was ail right; that she knew how he felt. about it, and that she would just take it for granted without the usual formality. But her maiden modesty rose in rebellion, and she said _to herself:
‘‘No. If he is too timid, too cowardly, to say the words, it will perhaps be bet- ter for us both if we take diverging Wways.”’
Then, speaking aloud, she said:
**Well, good night, Mr. Hanscomb, if you niust be going.”’
‘Well, good night,” he said. ‘I guess I must be going.”
‘**Well, good night,’’ she said again, holding the door open for him.
‘Well, good night,’’ he said, passing ovt throngh the vestibule.
She shut the door with a bang and sat down upon the stairway and buried
her face in her hands and sobbed.
E But half a minute later she heard im returning. Her heart gave a glad leap, and oe rushed to the mit him.
He stood looking down into her sweet, expectant face for a moment aft- er the door had swung beck, and then, clearing his throat, he said:
**Some pesky kid punctured my tire while I was inside. I wonder if I could borrow your mending outfit for about two minutes?”’
‘Bogt she replied. ‘‘My repairing outfit is up in the attic, and I can’t find it tonight. Walk home. It’ll do you good. 5?
Then she slammed the door in his face, and he tried to think—poor fool— as he wended his way homeward, what he had done to offend her.—Cleveland Leader.

THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Something About This Strange and Usefcl Asiatic Plant. breacfruit is a nativ southern Asia, the south Paci | and the Indian archipelago. In ap; ance it resembles somewhat the wild i chestnuat. It grows to the height of 49 (or 50 feet sud has dark green lea, | many of thom two feet in length, which are deeply divided into pointed lobes. Hidden among the great leaves tha breadfruit grows. It is a sorosis, is bearly spherical, often weighs four or more pounds and has a thick, yellow | vind. This fruit is the chief food of the | south sea islanders. They seldom eat a | meal without it. The eatable part lies | between the rind and the core and | when fully ripe is yellow and juicy. It is better for food before it has matured, and the natives gather it while the pulp is white.
Before it is ready for table use it must be roasted, when it looks like wheat | bread, and is both palatable and nutri- tious. Usually the fruit iscut into three or four slices and roasted or baked in an oven.
Frequently the people of a village join in making a huge oven, in which several hundred breadfruits may be baked atone time. Thus they are all supplied with bread without its cost- ing any of them much labor. Prepared in this way, the bread will keep for weeks.
The breadfruit is in season eight months of the year. When the season finally draws to a close, the last fruits are gathered and made into a sour paste called ‘‘mahei.’’ This paste will keep good for months and is made into balls, wrapped in leaves and baked, jus? as

Bread is not the only product of the breadfruit tree. From it cement, cloth, tinder and lumber are also obtained. A glutinous, milky juice oozes from the trunk of the tree, which makes an ex- cellent cement when boiled with cocca- nut oil. From the fibrous inner bark a kind of coarse cloth is made, and the big heaves make good towels. The lum- ber is used for building houses and many other purposes. Besides a)! this the dried blossoms are used as tinder when fires are kindled.—Philadelphia Times.
A SLAVE TO DUTY.
An Elephant That Would Not Neglect a Baby It Was Caring For.
Marie A. Mizlie, in St. Nicholas, tells @ number of ‘‘Stories of Elephan:s.’’ Mrs. Millie says:
Some time before the elephant hunt I have described my husband was et a station in Bengal. His work kept him cat nearly all day, and, being ill, I used to lie for hours in a long gerden chair on the veranda, too weak te read or enjoy any more exciting amuscment than my eyes supplied to me.
We had three elephants for our tents and baggage, and one deur creature used to feed from my hands every day and seemed as gentle as any pet dug cr cat.
One of our government chaprasis was particularly devoted to her and inyari- ably shared his meal of fruit or nour cakes with his dumb friend. On a par- ticularly hot day the cbaprasi, to .»y surprise, placed his tiny child cf 6 months at the elephant’s feet, warning hor expressively that the infant was in her charge and was to be cared for till j his return. I myself was an eyewiiness ef her wonderful sagacity. Large ba- nana trees and fig trees grew arcuud, and, to my surprise, the elephant broke off one of the former's spreading lor.\ cs, held it like a fan in her trunk and {vom time to time gracefully waved it over the slumbering child, whether to i m- per the heat of the atmosphere or to keep off flies, lam unable to say. ibe gentle way in which she moved her fcet over the child and across to each side astounded me. I sent for a white loaf and some oranges, and, calling her by name (she was never chained), tric. in vain to tempt her to my side on the low veranda. Nothing would induce her to leave her charge. The warm air and monotonous wave of the swinging fan overpowered me with drowsiness, to which I yielded, and,.after a sleep of some duration, I was awakened by quiet, subdued snorts beside me. To my surprise I found that the chaprast had just returned to his offspring, and the elephant stood near the veranda be- side me, patiently waiting and gently asking for the tempting dainties so bravely withstood for over two hours.
