BALLARD OF THE PULLMAN. 
oe 
By JoserpH A. TORREY. 
We were crowded in the Pullman, 
On either side three deep; 
Without, a storm was raging, 
Within, was little sleep; 
For wailing babes and snoring men 
Will make you swear or weep. 
When the dull gray of the morning 
Had o’erspread the Eastern skies, 
There entered at the doorway 
A creature I despise— 
A train-boy with his basket, 
Who called aloud, ‘‘Meat Pies!”’ 
His entrance and his outcry 
Had set us all agog, 
When a fat man just above me, 
(Who had slumbered like a log, ) 
Called back in mocking accents, 
‘*What color was the dog?’’ 
Then a ripple of light laughter 
Ran up the car and down, 
That, swelling to a tumult, 
Did all our night-cares drown, 
As the little vulgar train-boy 
Quickly answered, ‘‘It was brown.”’ 
And I blessed the little fellow 
And the man in the upper tier 
Who on that drizzly morning 
Filled all our hearts with cheer. 
And we left the train at Mugby 
When the sun was shining clear. 
RANDOM THOUGHTS 
BY D. F. LAMSON. 
No. XLII. 
Some German professor once said that 
vacations were for the purpose of giving 
teachers an opportunity to break ground 
in new studies, and for scholars to review 
old ones, which has a decidedly Teutonic 
sound; but no doubt the value of com- 
ing weeks and perhaps months in school 
will depend very much on the way in 
which teachers and scholars have spent 
their vacation. 
wow 
Tools are kept bright by using them, 
and the mind is apt to get rusty by inac- 
tion; even times of recreation need not 
be altogether times of mental idleness; 
change is often better for both mind and 
body than total inactivity; how to pro- 
portion recreation to work, and how to 
make recreation subservient to the high- 
est uses, is a great problem. 
wow 
A new cook-book gives 106 recipes 
for cooking cabbages; reminding one of 
Mrs. Glass’ famous recipe for cooking a 
hare, “‘first catch your hare;’’ most peo- 
ple find more difficulty in getting cab- 
bages than in cooking them.

A doubt was expressed not long ago 
whether a certain religious body—not in 
Manchester, however,—was getting all 
out of its house of worship that had been 
put into it, and the thought came, can 
the value of achurch in any community 
be estimated in dollars and cents; is not 
its worth less tangible, though none the 
less real. 
wow 
A popular magazine writer, it seems, 
has discovered to her own ssatisfaction at 
least what becomes of those who pass in- 
to the realms beyond; they are ‘‘ab- 
sorbed into the life absolute;’? so now 
we know, and it is to be hoped are duly 
grateful that the old question is answered; 
the inforation is given as at first hand. 
And so the world wags on. 
wow 
Of course we are making progress, 
but in what direction, we may ask, for- 
ward, or sideways; that is the question. 
Is Theosophy an advance on Christian- 
ity? Areits priests and priestesses wiser 
than apostles and prophets? They evi- 
dently think they are. 
ww 
It would seem that personal immortal- 
ity is the last thing desired by some of 
our religious teachers; they prefer Nir-

vana, or absorption into the infinite, or 
collective immortality as some call it— 
whatever that may be.

The great question is not, how much 
does one know, but what use does he 
make of what he knows? One man 
knows a great deal but he makes little 
use of it except to show it; another 
knows much less, but he makes good 
use of it for the welfare of others; the 
last will be in much more honor than the 
first when both come to give an account 
of their stewardship. 
Mars Eclipsed. 
Hundreds of North Shore people 
watched with great interest an eclipse of 
the planet Mars by the moon Wednes- 
day night. [he phenomena is appar- 
ent in this part of the world but twice in 
a century. 
Occasional clouds and a sky not over 
bright, made the prospect rather indis- 
tinct at first. But, as the time went by 
and the night grew darker, both the 
planet and the moon were seen in better 
outline. Toward nine o’clock the planet 
and moon were observed drawing closer 
together until, finally, the planet was lost 
to view behind the moon. This state 
lasted for over an hour, then, suddenly, 
the planet again appeared, very indistinct- 
ly at first, on the other side of the moon. 
From then on it gradually came out until, 
at 10.30 o’clock, it was again shining 
brightly, apparently several inches away 
from the moon and rapidly moving farther 
away. 
The beautiful night afforded a rare 
chance for observing the phenomena. 
Some of those who watched had dark 
glasses and others telescopes of 3 inch 
diameter and under. Through the lat- 
ter, the action of the two bodies was very 
apparent. 
Carpenters to Demand More Pay? 
North Shore carpenters are interested 
in the agitation that is advocated by the 
business agents from eastern Massachu- 
setts, and also the Boston council, to 
establish a 45-cent hour rate for the en- 
tire North Shore district to begin next 
May. Carpenters throughout the dis- 
trict voted this down for the past two 
years because they believe that the time 
was not ripe to make the demand. 
Before a demand is made the question 
will be again put before the members for 
their approval.
