Women are deeply in debt to Shakespeare
for all the lovely, noble things he has put
into his women's hearts and mouths, but
surely for nothing moro than for tho words
in which Juliet's reply is couched. Only
one who. knew Of what a true women is capa-
be in franRness, in courage, and self-surren-
der when her heart is possessed by Il noble
love, could have toched with such delicacy,
such infinite charm OF mingled reserve and
artless frankness, the avowal of so fervent
yet so modest love, the secret Of which
had been SO strangely stolen from her. AS
the whole scene is the noblcst pecan to love
svsr written, SO is what Juliet now says
supreme in subtlety Of feeling and express
sion, whore all is beautiful Watch oil the
fluctuations Of emotion which pr-vado it and
you will understand what q task is laia up
on the actress tc interpret them, cot in
voice and tone only, important as these are,
but also in manner and in action. Tho
generous frankness OF the giving, the timid
drawing back, fearful cf having given too
much unsought; The perplexity Of the
whole, all summed up in that sweet entreaty
for pardon with which it closes.

What can be Seen With q Small Telee.
cope.

From Harpere MsGa2lEe Tor MArch.
The curiosity to see the heavenly bodies,
through great telescopes is SO wide spread
that We are apt to forget how much can be
seen and done with small ones. The fact
is that large proportion Of the astronomi-
cal observations OF past time have been
made with what We should now regard as
very small instruments, and good deal OF
the solid astl onoiuieal work of the present
time is done with meridion circles. the ap-
1,ertures of which ordinarily range from
four to eight inches. One of the most con-
spicuous examples in recent times Of how
moderate sized instrument msy be utilized
is afforded by the discovery cf double
sturs made by =. W. Burntam, of Chicago.
Provided with little six inch telescope, pro-
cured at his own expense from the Messrs.
CLARK, he has discovered double stars, 30
difficult that they had es-
capped the scrutiny Of Maedlcr and the
Strives, and gained for himself one Of the
highest positions among the astronomers of
the day engaged in the observations Of these
objects. It was with this little instrument
that on Mount Hamilton, Cal.-the site of
the future great Lick Observatory-he dis
covers fo.ty- light new double stars which
had remained unnot:cea by all previous OBJ
servers.
First among the objects which shows
beautifully through moderate instruments
stands the moon. People who want to see
the moon at en OBJ bserva:ory generally make
tire mistake of looking when the moon is full,
and asking to see it through the largest
telescope. Nothing can then to made out
but brilliant blaze of light, mottled With
dark spots, md crossed by irregular bright
lines. The best time 10 view the moon Is
near or before the fist quarter. or when
she is from three to eight days old. The
last quarter is, OF courco equally favorable,
SO fur as seeing is concerned, only we must
be up after midnight to see her in that posi-.
tion. Seen through a three Or four inch
telescope, q day or two before the first
quarter. about half an hour after sunset.
and with magnifying power between 50
and 100, tho moon is one of the most beau
*ifu! objects in the heavens Twilight
softons her radiance so that the eyes is not
tlazzled, as it will be when the sky is entire
II dark. The general aspect she then pre-
sents is that OF a hemisphere Of beautiful
chased silver carved oat in curious round
patterns with more than human skill. II,
however, ono wishes to see the minute de-
tails of the lunar surface, in which many
Of our astronomers are now 80 deeply in
terested, be must use higher maRnifyinR
power. The general beautiful effect is
then lessered. but more details are seen.
Still, it is hardly necessary to seek for
very large telescope for any Investigation
Of the lunar surface. very much doubt
whetuer any one has ever seen anything on
the moon which could not be made out in
clear, steady atmosphere with . six-inch
telescope of the first class.
