Poetry.
@The Children Laughed and Sang"


1t was in the chill December
That the Angel of Death came eby,
And he rustled his wings of darkness
As he wept1through the wintry sky
A household of happy Creatures
Dwelt quiet, and free from care,
And the angel stole in softly,
And stood all silent there.
(But the children laughed aud sang al
their play;
Never a fear or pang had they)
And the angel swiftly in silence
Struck home the mortal blow,
And in the wintry morning
He laid the father low;
And wildly the sorrowful mother,
Bewildered and stunned with woe,
Walled in her lone bereavement,
And wished that she too might go.
(But the children laughed and sang al
their play;
Never a fear nor a pang had they.)
Cold in the lonely chamber
Lay the fathers form at rest;
And they laid the delicate flower wreaths
Upon his quiet breast;
And forth from his home they bore him
And hid him from sound and sight;
And they heaped the cold earth above
him
While the children's feet trod light.
(But the boys went home to their happy
play;
Never fear nor pang had they)
Add often the childish footsteps
Are turned to their fathers grave,
Where the grass with its glistening
hOarfrost,
Lies over that heart so brave;
And sometimes they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain;
And they say in their childish voice:
~WHl papa never come again?"
(But soon they laugh and sing at their
play;
Never fear or pang have they)
So God in His infinite pity
Shuts the eyes of the children DEAR.
And they see not the fell destroyer,
Tho their eyes are so bright and clear,
And I said: There's no past for the
children
With its terrible pangs and stings;
And for them no brooding future
Spreadeth its threatening wings.
All they see is the present-to day;
And so they laugh and sing at their
play" Chambers journal.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The inventor of the screw propeller
was tho celebrated artist Leonard da
Vinci, and he first applied it to aerial
navigation.
Electricity is now employed in the
rectification of inferior alcohol. The
electricity generated by a voltaic bat
terry and dynamo-electric machine Is
passed through the alcohol SO as to
disengage the surperhuous hydrogen.
By this means beef-root alcohol, which
is usually very poor, can be made to
yield 80 per cent. of spirits, equal to
that obtained from the best malt.
In his address at the York meeting OF
the British association, Prof. Huxley
predicted that fifty years hence, or in
the centennial year of the association,
whoever undertakes to record the prog
ress of paleontology will note the
present time as the epoch in which the
law of succession of the forms of the
higher animals was determined by the
observation OF archaeological facts.
Herr Stebler's researches do not con-
firm the theory that light binders
termination of seeds generally He
admits the probability, however, that
light may not be advantageous in the
case of seeds that terminate quickly
and easily, such rs clover, beans or
peas. He says the termination of cer-
tain seeds, especially those of the
grasses, will not take place at all or
with great difficulty in darkness.
When the earth in which a plant
grows is much warmer than the air, the
plant grows very thick, ceases almost
altogether to increase in height, and
finally shows deep transverse riffs which
make further growth an impossibility.
These effects were produced by M.
Prilleux, who used large dish of earth,
in which he planted the seeds, and
kept the earth 10 degrees warmer than
the moist air of the chamber.
Mr.. Van Rysselberghe's idea of using
the microphone in observatories has
been adopted In the observatory at
Geneva, and by the aid of the instru-
ment, in combination with the tele-
phone, the sound beats of the normal
pendulum can be heard in every part
of the building. The observatory is
also connected. with the Hotel Munich
pal, SO that the beats of the electric
clock regulator in that building can be
heard and compared with the pendulum
beats.
A simple process of nickle-plating by
boiling has been described by DR..
Kaiser. A bath of pure granulated tin
tartar and water is prepared. and after
being heated to the boiling point, has
added to it a small quantity OF pure
red-hot nickle oxide. A portion of the
niekle will soon dissolve, and give a
green color to the liquid over the grains
of tin. Articles of copper or brass
plunged into this bath acquire in few
minutes bright metallic coating OF
almost pure niekle. Ii q little carbon
ate or tartrate of cobalt is added to the
bath, q blush shade, either light OF
dark, may be given to the coating,
which becomes very brilliant when It As

Life is full of surprises. and the
greatest of all its wonders came to
Wilfred and Alice that day.
Old Jonathan Somerton had left his

life-partner whom he had assigned
them, which they must signify their
readiness to do without learning who
that partner might be-a secret which
he had entrusted to his lawyer in a letter
which was to serve as a codici1 to his
will, and to be read to them only after
they had consented.

She answered very quietly.

'sIn my mind money cannot weigh
against love-" he said.
The lawyer interrupted them
You two agree to marry, then, /

the conditions of the will. I congratu-
late YOU"
There was q universal exclamation of
surprise.
''Oh, it is so,n he went on; t.here is
nv letter. Jonathan Somerton gives
his two dear children to each other,
and his fortune to both, on condition
that they marry before year is over.
You will not quarrel with that proviso,

drily.
Nor did they. Before old Jonathan
Somerton had slept in his grave a year,
the blessing Of two happy welded
hearts rose up, like sweet incense, to
his memory.
The interests of love and fortune
were no more divided. Wilfred Landon
had married Alice Vane, and both were
happy.

The School Hours in Germany, England
and France


The Journal Of Education, basing
its estimates upon the number of hours
given 10 various studies in eighteen
leading public schools, calculates that
the average number of hours a week
in an English public school is about
twenty-six, as against thirty-one in a
gymnasium and forty in lycee. Reck-
oning the hours of preparation, and
taking into account the holidays, which
are at least twice as long in England as
they are on the Continent, it finds that
the working hours of an English, Ger
man and French boy in secondary
schools are in the ratio of five, eight
and eleven. As to the subjects taught,
though there are now few public schools
in which science teaching is wholly ig-
nored, classics still form the staple of
our education. An English lower
school boy gives fourteen hours q week.
or more than half his time, to classics;
a French lyceen devotes twenty-eight
hours week, for his first three years,
to his native tongue; he does not be-
gin Latin till the second period, or
Greek till the third-that is, till he has
been six wears ut school.

Rev. Luke DaIy's Will.

On petition brought to the Superior Court by Rev. James Hughes executor, of Hart ford, for construction of the will of Rev. Luke Daly of New Britain, the Supreme Court has advised that certain portions of the will do not hold. The testator gave $1 ,000 to Bishop Galberry and his successors toward a reformatory school for boys; $1 ,oO0 toward the establishment of convent in New Brit ain $1.OOO to the deserving poor of New Britain, and the residue to Bishop Galberry and his successors for the school for boys. The court finds no one to receive the be- quests for the school, as it has never been established nor any steps taken to establish it, and that the bequest of $1, ,OO0 to ''the de- serving poor'' is too vague. The convent bequest is held to be good as St. Mary's par ish, New Britain, has such an institution connected with it. The decision is in the in- terest of the heirs-at-law.
