A 10 horsepower engine, burning two tons of coal per duy, heats the building and supplies steam for tho cooking and baking, but when Sander's theatre is heated a third ton of coal is required. The cooking apparatus is on a vast scale. The groat soup-kettle holds 220 galloils, nnd is said to be tho largest kettle ever cast in this country.

But tho most astounding parts of the culinary* arrangements are tho two great ovens, ono for baking menta nnd one for bread and pies. Tlie first will cook at once 20(K) pounds of moat and the other 250 pies. They are not by any means too large, however, since from 800 to 1000 pounds of meat are consumed daily nnd some 90 loaves of graham and 75 of white bread.

It may he rough in flesh nnd biood, yet do tbe work of a soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one tiling that love so much needs as a sweet voice to toll what it means und. fells ;• and it is hard to got and keep it in tho right tone. Ono must Start, in youth, and be on tho wutch night and day, at work and play, to get und kqep a voice that shull speak at all times tho thougts of a kind heart-. - But this is tho time when < a sharp voice is mast Apt to bo got. You often hear boys and girls say words ; at play with a quick sharp tone, us if it J were tho snap of a whip. When ono of i tli em gets vexed, you will hear a voice that sounds as if it were made up of a snarl, a whino and a bark. It is often 1 in mirtli that ono gets a voice or a tono that is sharp, and sticks to him through * lifp, and stirs up ill will and grief, and 1 falls like a drop of gall on the sweet joys ( of home. I would say to all boys and girls: "Usoyour guest voice at home. Watch it day by day, as'a pearl of great f price, for it will bo worth more to you i in days to come than tho best pearl hid . in tho sea.

Irresolution is a fatal habit; it is not vicious in itself, but it leads to vice, creeping ui>on its victims with a fatal facility, the penalty of which many a fine heart lias paid At the scaffold. The idler, the spendthrift, tho epicurean and tho drunkard are among tlie victims. Perhaps in the latter its effects appear in tho most hideous form. He knows that, the goblet ho in about to drain is poison, yet ho swallows it. He knows — for tho example of thousands has painted it in glowing colon; — that it will deaden all his faculties, take the strength from his limbs and tho happiness from his heart, oppress him with disease and hurry his progress to a dishonored grave, yet he drairis it.
