    DREAMLAND.
He could neTer remember Jut how
he explained his conduct outside, but
his apologies were readily accepted.
And then came the greatest triumph
of all, when the girl took the poem he
had returned and handed It to him.
"If you care for It, Mr. Vanders,"
she said, "you may have It. While I
was writing It I wished It might be
sung."
So Vanders took the poem home with
him. und for a week burled himself lu
his room. Time after time berewrote
the music.. He worked day and night

Too many hours we sigh beneath its

Still ringing in his ears were the notes
of the great pipe organ and the voice
of the singer as they - blended In the
grand melody. Never before to-day's
matinee had he beard It sung with
quite that wonderful beauty. It was
"The Holy City."
The man at the ticket office nodded
familiarly at htm, but Vanders did not
see him. He was still thinking of the
song he had Just heard. Outside, on
the walk, a lounger was humming the
catchy air of a ragtime melody. Van
ders clenched his flat as be heard It.
It was his latest production, already
fast winning its way to popularity. He
hated It with -all his heart. It was
' not even fit to be called a song when
compared with "The Holy City."

to write a song some day to which peo

One Day Nearer Home.
O'er the hills the sun is setting,
And the eve is drawing on;
Slowly drops the gentle twilight,
For another dny forgone.
Gone for aye its race is over,
Soon the darker shades will come;
Still, 'tis sweet to know at even,
We are one day nearer home.
"One day nearer," sings the seaman,
As he glides the waters o'er,
While the light is softly dying.
On his distant native shore.
Thus the Christian on life's ocean, ,
As his light boat cuts the foam,
In the evening criee with rapture,
"I am one day nearer home."
Worn and wesry, oft the pilgrim
Hails the setting! of the sun;
For the goal is one day nearer,
And his journey nearly done.
Thus we feel when, o'er life's desert.
Heart and sandal sore we roam,
As the twilight gathers o'er us,
We are one day nearer home.
Nearer home! Yes, one day nearer
To our Father's house on high
To the green fields and the fountains
Of the lands beyond the sky,
For the" heavens grow brighter o'er us,
And the lamps hang in the dome,
And our tents are pitched still clorer.
For we're one day nearer home.

GREATNESS OF INVENTIONS.'
Tho yellow stain caused by removing the plat from the hypo too soon
can be removed by placing the negative in the following solution: Alum.
50 parts; water, 1,000 parts; bichromate of potassium, 10 parts; hydro
chloric acid, 10 parts. After several minutes the negative turns yellow.
It Is washed thoroughly, exposed' to eunlight for several minutes and de
veloped with the ordinary oxalate-and-iron developer. Am. Pbotog.
In a recent leenre to amateurs Mr. George G. Rockwood, the well-known-New
York photographer, said: "There Is no paper made on earth that will
print with all kinds of negatives, and the converse of that proposition 1
true, that no, negatives can be made that will print on all kinds of paper
with satisfactory results. This Is a preliminary statement of the fact that
all developing papers require especially made negatives or negatives of a
particular quality In order to get the best results. I have been making
experiments with developing papers, the results of which lead me to say:
Negatives for all developing papers should be full (not over) time, and
developed with the utmost caution as not to In the slightest degree "block
the high lights; In fact, a very thin but snappy negative Is just the thing;
required full of detail, but clear in shadows. There is no danger of carry
ing this caution to an extreme, for this particular paper will almost print
from an ambrotype. It will be noticed that the very best results obtained)
from amateur films or negatives are produced on the various developing
papers. It is because the amateur almost universally stops short of full
envelopment; hence, they have almost exactly the quality to produce the best
results on this grade of paper. Negatives possessing this peculiarity will not
make the best Impressions on I'. O. P paper, but If care is taken In making
the negatives for the developing papers, It would be a skilled expert that
would distinguish prints on such paper from the best platinum photographs."

IDENTITY OF DICKENS' SQUEERS.
Qaeat Renewed by Reprint of Old "Ad"
' In London Timek.
The quest for the Identity of Mr.
Wackford Squeers has been revived by
the reprint by tb,e Times of an adver
tisement from Its Issue of Jan. 7, 1803,
says the London Chronicle. A Mr.
Simpson, of Woden Croft, near Barnard
Castle, thereby announced bis attend
ance at the Paraeen's Head, Snowhtlt,
te receive "young gentlemen," and a'
contemporary jumps to the conclusion
that this person was the prototype of
the Infamous Squeers. As a matter of
fact Dickens bad only too many orig
inals for his pitiful story, and an extra
ordinary parallel to the tale told la
"Nicholas Nickelby" may be found m
the biography of James Abernethy, the
father of marine engineering. This
work was published by his son In 1807,
and reviewed In the Chronicle of Dec.
28, of that year, the facts as to the mis
erable school life being reproduced from
the late engineer's diary, this portion of
which was written In 1834, or. about
four years before the novl made its
appearance In monthly parts.
Tbe reviewer thus tells the story, and
draws tbe parallel: "Tbe school to
which James and his brother George
were sent was kept by a ruffian named
Smith, at Cotherstone, near Barnard
Castle, in North Yorkshire, and there ls
something quite remarkable In the facts
that there was a Mrs. Smith, who ap
pears to have been the counterpart of
Mrs. Squeers; that tbe arrangements

point, relative to the old and new way
of giving out church notices:
The old-fashioned clergyman had
been in tbe habit of making tbe an
nouncements In bis most punctilious
manner. Each one was couched lu
some such lanifuage as this:

the alarm was genuine began to rush
about, collecting both valuable and.
worthless objects with Impartial haste.
Only one of them thought to ask wher -the

Just then the eldest son, a lanky lad.,
rushed by, carrying an armful of use
