Bigness and Greatness.

Bigness is not the highest type OF
greatness. A whale weighs heavier
than a man; blubber, after all, is not
worth so much as human thought
and feeling. Bulk, indeed, is nothing;
quality is all and in all. China
covers an area that would swallow
thousands OF Londons; but the heart
OF the world beats here, not there;
and the civilization of humanity de-
rives its greatest impulses from our
seething metropolis, and not from the
stagnation OF Pekin. Athens was a
small State, but two or three OF its
men have dominated the thought OF
twenty centuries OF thinkers. Peri
cles, in one OF the grand rhetorical
declarations, affirmed that its whole
polity was a school for Greece, and
all the cities and towns OF Europe
yet sit at its feet for instruction in
art. Jerusalem Is only a small speck,
perceptible with difficulty, lying in
the centre of great empires of antiqui-
ty, Of Egypt and Ethiopia, Assyria
and Babylonia, Greece and Rome:
and. yet from Zion proceeded the
law, and the Word of the Lord from
Jerusalem; and no voice is so potent
to-day. or has been for these centu-
ries, as that which spake in its

Eyading the Law.

The officers of the law in Portland,
Me-, the other day, in making a
search for illegitimte liquor in GER
tain saloon in that city, by the merest
accident discovered an ingenious
tank for concealing the liquor, which
had successfully defied detection for
two years. An archway over fight
OF stairs had been filed in with a wide
tin tank, thick at the top and thin at
the bottom. This tank was divided
into two equal parts, one-half filed
with gin and the other with rum.
The top OF the tank was made thick,
so that when anybody trod on the
floor above it would not break. From
either end Of the archway rubber
pipes passed through the wall to a
room below, and there met In cas-
ing in the wall. A spring in the cas-
ing opened door, where two little
faucets were revealed, from which the
rum and gin could be drawn of. The
casing and wall were lathed, plaster
ed. whitened and painted, so as to
conceal the contraband arrangement.

Some Interesting Dates.

Dates are generally dry reading;
but there is sometimes a significance
In the mere grouping Of dates; and
the reader will find such significance
In an attentive consideration of the
following events, all occurring he will
observe. within the limits Of little
over a century:
Postoffices were first established In
1864; printed musical notes were first
used In 1473; watches were first con-
structed in 1916; America was dis
covered In 1892; the first printing
press was set up at Copenhagen in
1893; Copernicus announced his dis
covery OF the true system Of the uni
verse in 1917; Albert Durer gave the
world prophecy OF future wood en-
craving in 1927; -Jergens set the
spinning. wheel in motion in 1880, the
germ Of ten thousand future factories;
modern needles first came into use in
1916; the first knives were used in
England, and the first wheeled car
riages in France, in 1863: the first
newspaper was published In England
In 1888; telescopes were invented In
1890; Spenser, Shakespeare, Bacon,
Tycho Brahe were contemporaries in
1590-zhese are some Of the more i'm
portant headlands of European his

One Of the Seven Wonders.

Pharos is the ancient name of a
small island off the coast OF Egypt,
less than a mile from the ancient AL
exandria, connected with the main
land by mole, and famous for its
lighthouse, which was numbered
among the seven wonders OF the
world, and gave the name OF Pharos
to all structures of a similar kind.
this building was the frustrum OF
square pyramid, surrounded by
large base. the precise dimensions Of
which are not known. 1t was COM
menced by the first Ptolemy, and was
finished about $50 B. G. The style
and workmanship are represented to
have been superb, and the material
was white stone. The height was
about 400 feet, and it is stated by
Josephus that the light, which was
always kept burning on its top at
night, was visible about forty-one
miles. 1t was, probably, destroyed
by an earthquake, but the date OF its
destruction is not known. Enough Is
known, however, to make 1t certain
that its tower existed for 1000 years.
To this day the French word for
lighthouse is phare, and the italian
and Spanish faro. The island be-
came at length, a suburb OF Alexan-
dria by means OF street running
along the mole, aud retained some
Importance even to the time OF Julius
Ceser. but subsequently sank into
its original condition OF fishing
station.

Unknown Regions.

According to an English writer
there are four vast areas which
have never been traversed by
civilized man, and which among
them constitute about one-sev-
enth OF the. whole area OF the
globe. OF these, the greatest is the
Antartie region, the extent OF which
IL about seventy-fye times that OF
Great Britain; the second lies about
the North pole; the third is in Gen.
trail Africa, and he fourth in Western
Australia. The areas of the unknown
regions Of the globe are estimated,
approximately, at about 100000
square miles.

THE REPUBLICAN.


t" Into all lives some rain must fall"
Into all eyes some tear drops start,
whether they fall as a gentle shower
Or drop, like fire, from an aching heart.
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubtngs come.
Lashing the waves of Lies great deep
From dimpling waters to seething foam.
Over all pathways some clouds must lower,
Under all feet some sharp thorns spring,
Tearing the flesh to feeding wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting,
Upon all brows rough winds must blow,
Over all shoulders a cross must be lain,
Bowling the form, in its lofty height,
Down to the dust in bitter pain.
Into all hahds Is some duty thrust,
Unto all arms some burden given:
Crushing the heart with its dreary weight,
Or lifting the soul from earth to heaven.
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunshine comes streaming down,
Gliding the ruins of life's.great plain
Weaving for all golden crown.
