ideas VIII be represented alone,
neither will any candid thought be
rejected. Man cannot fail to be
benefited by knowing the ideals
that actuate his fellow man; hence,
our purpose is to lay side by side in
these columns as many of the differ
ing faiths as may be entrusted to our
care.
It is customary for individuals to
read only such literature as pertains
to the particular company in which
his name is enrolled, ignoring the
laws which regulate kindred COM
panies marshalled by his side, and
forgetful of the great regiment into
which all wheel in line against the
common foe of the race. The
Scientist seldom glances at relig-
ious journal, the Literateur rarely
even dips into the technical sciences
or religions, and each ofthe warning
sects reads to the command of its
leaders, turning away from all
others. Thus throughout the entire
range of humanity, each reads his
own ideas repeated and re-repeated,
virtually denying his neighbor a
hearing; cultivates ignorance and
declines knowledge. Let us think
it out friends, and for truths sake,
let there be some common ground
on which all may speak in honor
and safety.
These columns have been chris
ened The SPEcTRosCoPE as testi-
monial of respect to the magical in
strunent whose revelations during
the past few years have astonished
and delighted every lover of nature.
Beyond this, they are SO christen-
ed, because of the wealth of signi-
fcance which the name embodies,
not alone for the scientist, but also
for the idealist. Popularity, asbectye
is ghostly apparition. From this
unnecessary and mischievious signi-
fication, science has redeemed the
word and made it represent one of
the most beautiful objects in nature.

certainty.
Some sect of the old Hindoos de-
fined God as a luminous shadow"
The mind thinks first of the strange
impossibility of these combined
words, and sets them aside as the
weird figure of some by-gone lotus
dreamer. But the dream becomes
reality, when we find that the sbec-
tvum is indeed luminous shadow
cast by light itself. The SCOPE or
vision of the intellect walking in the
light of this shadow, must rise
above the deadly malaria of super
stition, which, since the earliest his

poison up from the low-lands of Ig-
norance before mankind will be able
to chant the new song of the re-
deemed.

A HAPPY FAMILY-A Richmond, Ind.
newspaper vouches for the truth of the fol-
lowing story:
The lion had not yet been observed to
lie down with the lamb, but something
equal to it happened. A white cat with
four Young kittens set up housekeeping in
Il box where there happened to be two
Young rats. Instead Of devouring them. as
would have been natural, she adopted them
and afforded them the same nourishment
that she supplied to her kittens and one of
the rats died. Yesterday we called to see
The happy family and found the three kit
tens and the rat drawing their sustenance
in happy promiscuousness. The mother
cat bestowed frequent caresses upon her
little ones and the rat came in for a full
share. 1t seemed to enjoy the love lick
and responded in as atfectionate manner as
possible for a rat. After all, as a matter
of prudence. that young rat had better
move out before his tail gets too long"

Breathlass the sunny meadows lie
In heat of early afternoon:
Clouds faint upon the shapelcss sky
Where i cps ghostly moon.
The farm boy turns his masters hay
To ripen after summer rain.
While CAV cries steal across the bay,
And echo wide again.
He hears the voices of his mates
Gam ooling in the fresh sea-wave
And pauses while his heart relates
The joy his freedom gave.
Where is nv plav-time gone :? he sail,
And turned him lilly to his task;
Where are my moon lit moments He'd:
