INVISIBLE WATER.-There is no bet
ter example of invisible water than that
given by DR.. Tyndall. At every puff of
railway locomotive, cloud is pro-
jected into the air. Watch it sharply;
you notice that it first forms at little
distance from the top of the funnel.
Give close attention. and you will some
times see a perfectly clear space between
the funnel and the cloud. Through
that clear space the thing which makes
the cloud must pass. What, then, is
this thing which at one moment is trans
parent and invisible, and at the next
moment visible as a dense, Opaque cloud ?
1t is the steam or vapor of water from
the boiler Every bit of steam shrinks,
when chilled, to much more minute
particle of water. The particles thus
produced form a kind of water dust of
exceeding fineness. which floats in the
air, and is called cloud.

My Playmate.

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet,
The orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed of all the year.
For, more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips of kith and kin,
She laid her hand in mine
What more could ask the bashful boy
Who fed her fathers kline?
She left us in the bloom of May:
The constant years told Ger
Their seasons with as sweet May morns,
But she came back no more.
1 walk, with noiseless feet, the round
Of uneventful years; ~ Z
Still DER and Ger l SOW the spring.
And reap the autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year
Her summer roses blow; fEs
The dusky children of the sun
Before her come and go.
There haply with her jeweled hands
She smooths her sllken gown
No more the homespun lap wherein
shook the walnuts down.
The wild grapes wait us by the brook.
The brown nuts on the hill,
And still the May-day flowers make sweet
The woods of Follymill.
The lilies blossom in the pond.
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ramoth hill
The slow song of the sea.
| wonder if she thinks of them,-
And how the old time SEEMS
If ever the-pines of Ramoth wood
Are sounding in her dreams.
[ see her face, hear her voice:
Does she remember mine?
And what to her is now the boy
Who fed her fathers kline?
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours
That other hands with nuts are filed,
And other laps with flowers?
0 playmate in the golden time
Our messy seat is green.
Its fringlng violets blossom yet,
The old trees DER it lean.
The winds so sweet with birch and fer
A sweeter memory blow;
And there in spring the veeries sing
The song Of long ago.
And still the pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like the sea-
The moaning of the sea cf change
Between myself and thee!

PRAYER AND POTATOES.

rlf brother or sister be Naked and destitute OF dai
y food and one of you say unto them Depart in peace
be We warmed and filed; Notwithstanding ye give then
not those things which are good lot the Dody, VIVA
does it profit flames H. 1915
An old lady sat in her old chair,
With wrinked visage and disheveled hair,
And hungIy-worn features;
For DAYS and for weeks her only fare,
As she sat there in her old arm chair,
Had been potatoes.
But now they were gone; of bad or good
Not one was left for the old lady food,
OF those potatoes;
And she sighed and said What shall do?
Where shall send, and to whom shall go
For more potatoes ?"
And she thought Of the deacon over the way,
The deacon so ready to worship and pray,
Whose cellar was full of potatoes
And she said, Il will send for the deacon to come;
He'll not mind much to give me some
OF such store Of potatoes"
And the deacon came over as fast as he could,
Thinking to do the old lady some good
But never for once of potatoes;
lie asked ner AT once what was her chief want
And she poor soul. expected grant,
Immediately answered, "potatoes!"
But the deacons religion didn't lie that way;
lie more accustomed to preach and to pray
Than to give of his boarded potatoes;
So, not hearing of course, what the old lady said
He rose to pray with uncovered head,
pOeoVoOo'
He prayed for patience, wisdom, and grace,
But when he prayed "Lord give her grace
She audibly sighed, "give potatoes"
And at the end Of each prayer which he said
He heard, or thought he heard. in its stead
The same request for potatoes.
The deacon was troubled: knew not what to do;
Twas very embarrassing to have her act so
About these "carnal potatoes
So, ending his prayer, he started for home;
But as the door closed, he heard deep groan,
20, give to the hungry potatoesi"
And that groan followed him all the way home,
In the midst of the night it haunted his room,
20, give to the hungry potatoes!"
He could hear it no longer: arose and dressed;
From his we-Rlled cellar taking in his haste
bag of his best potatoes.
Again he went to the widows lone hut;
Her seepess eyes she had not yet shut;
But there she sat in that old arm chair;
With the same wan features the same sad air.
And entering in, he poured on the floor
bushel or more from his goodly store
or choice potatoes.
The widows heart leaped up for joy
| Her face was haggard and wan no more;
! "Now," said the deacon, "shall we pray?"
"Yes," said the widow, 'now we may"
And he knelt down on the sanded floor,
! Where he had poured his goodly store,
| And such prayer the deacon prayed
! As never before his lips assayed;
| No longer embarrassed, but free and full,
| He poured out the voice of liberal soul.
| And the widow responded aloud "Ameni !"
But said no more of potatoes.
And would you who hear this simple tale
| Pray for the poor, and have praying prevail"
Then preface your prayers with aims and good deeC
| Search out the poor their wants and their needs.
| Pray for peace and grace, and spiritual food
For wisdom, and guidance, for all these are good;
But don't forget the potatoes.

INDIANA TEMPERANCE LAW.


The temperance bill passed by the
Legislature of Indiana has been signed
by Gov. Hendricks, and is now the law
of the state. The act is lengthy, con-
tanning twenty -one sections. We will
give its main points as briefly as posi-
BILE.
The first section makes it unlawful for
"any person or persons, by himself or
agent, to sell, barter, or give away for
any purpose of gain, to any person whom
soever, any intoxicating liquors to be
drank in, upon or about the buildings or
premises where the liquor is sold, bar
tered or given away for. the purpose of
gain, until such person or persons shall
have obtained permit therefor from the
Board of Commissioners of the county
where he resides A petition for this
permit must be signed by the appli-
cant and a majority of the legal voters
Of his ward, town, or township, and
filed with the County Auditor not less
than twenty days before a regular meet
ing of the Commissioners. If the appli-
cant and petition are satisfactory, he
must give bond for $4,000. with two
approved sureties, that he will comply
with the provisions of the law. Noper-
nit is to be granted for longer or short.
er time than one year.
The sixth section makes it unlawful
for a person holding such permit by him
self or agent, to sell, barter, or give in
toxicating liquors to any minor, or to
persons intoxicated, or to persons who
are in the habit of getting intoxicated" :"
All places where liquor is sold con-
trary to this law are to be abated as
common nuisances. If seller with or
without permit cause the intoxication
of another he is liable to pay reason
able compensation to any one who pro-
vides and takes care of said intoxicated
person. 1t is also made unlawful for
any person to get intoxicated, and if any
one is found intoxicated he shall be
fined S. and be required to tell where
he obtained the liquor. A person hold
ing permit is not permitted to sell on
Sundays nor on election days, nor holi-
days. nor between 8 o'clock p. m. and
6 o'clock a. m. under a penalty of from
So to S25 for each ofense For every
violation of the first and sixth sections,
the penalty is a fine of not less than $40,
nor more than $50, or Imprisonment in
the county jail for not less than ten nor
more than thirty days.
The various provisions fer the enforce
ment of the law are carefully drawn,
and if it is enforced it win prove to be
probably the most effective measure yet
enacted by any state in the Union for
the stringent regulation of the sale Of
intoxicating liquors.

So You NIGHT HAVE BEEN.-An en-
inent divine, remarkable for the devoted
piety and spotless purity of his charac-
ter, was heard to say that he never read
or heard of crime in his life, no mat
ter how heinous, without feeling an in
ward consciousness that under certain
conditions of education, he might have
committed the same crime himself The
same feeling must have been experienced
more or less, by all rejecting, enlight-
ened men and yet-and yet how little
charity there is in the world.

MINGLING WITH STRANGERs.-The
effect of mingling with new people, who
have new methods of thought, is very
salutary. Always to see tie same peo-
pie, do the same things, feel the same
way, produces stagnant condition of
the mind and heart that is very distress
ing to behold. There are thousands of
invalids who might be greatly benefited
by getting away from home, to mingle
with strangers, and be touched by the
magnetism of the great world as it
courses in its accustomed rounds. And
tn ere are mental invalids who need the
same change, to get their minds and
hearts enlarged, and let in little more
of the great light Of life. Outside infu-
ences are very valuable to those who at
home have been we'll trained by health
full influences in early youth, SO that they
can avoid the snares and pitfalls into
which these SO often blindly fall
