she was raised on the frontier; the fields
were her home. In vain we tried to re-
concile her to the death that was newt
able. 60 Hold me fast, she cried, ''don't
let me CO." But even as she was plead
ing her little hands relaxed their cling
ing hol from my wrist and lifted them
selves with such straining effort that
they lifted the wasted little body from
its reclining position among the pillows.
Her face was turned upward; but it was
her eyes that told the story. They were
filled with the light of Divine recogni-
ton. They saw something plainly that
we could not see; and they grew brighter
and brighter, and her little hand
quivered in eagerness to go where
strange portals had opened upon her as
tonished vision. But even at that SUI
preme moment she did not forget to
leave a word of comfort for those who
would gladly have died in her place:
" Mamma" she was saying, mamma,
they are not strangers. I'm not afraid. J"
And every instant the light burned
more gloriously in her blue eyes till at
last it seemed as if her soul leaped forth
upon its radiant waves, and in that mo-
ment her trembling form relapsed among
its pillows and she was gone.

STRUCTURE OF GLACIERS.
1t IS now known that the substance of
glaciers is made up of crystalline grains
leach grain a single crystaD, which in
crease in size as the glacier descends.
Swiss physicists differ as to the nature
OF this increase. Prof. Forel attributes it
to freezing of water of fusion that comes
from the surface through capillary fis.
sures. The mass cooled below zero in
winter cannot rise to the temperature of
zero In summer except by the latent heat
liberated by water at zero, when it freez-
es In the heart of the glacier. On the
other hand, Prof. Hagenback- Bischoff
thinks M. Foreps theory inapplicable to
the compact mass of the glacier proper
(though it may explain the change of
pulverulent snow into that of the neve,
and the change of the neve into ice). He
considers the cause of the increase to lie
IN the overcrystallizing of one grain at
the expense of its neighbor. The known
fact that the melting temperature of ice
is lowered by excessive pressure and
raised by extension accounts for the plas-
ITCHY of crystalline mass; water pro-
duced by fusion at points where the
pressure is greater is transported and
frozen at points of less pressure. It is
further supposed that the crystals of ice
present differences of compressibility
III their different axis; hence crystals
differently directed will have unequal
power Of raising or lowering thetemper-
allure OF fusion under pressure, and some
will tend to grow at the expense of 9TH
ers less favorably directed.

A Smart Bow.

A San Francisco millionaire, hoping to
encourage his promising son in ways of
thrift, promised to give him per cent
month interest upon any money hemight
save out of his spending allowance and
deposit in the paternal treasury. The
young man was getting $40 week for
pocket money, and promised to show his
appreciation of his fathers affectionate
offer. He began to make deposits with
out delay and kept the practice up with
remarkable regularity. The old gentle
man noticed presently that the deposits
exceeded the whole of the boys
allowance, but accounted for this by
supposing that he had saved some money
previously. Besides this, he received
money frequently from his mother. So
the fond parent reioiced in the saving dis
position his son was displaying. This
continued until the boys deposits as
sumed such dimensions as to demand an
explanation. 1t then turned out that the
most of the money he had been deposit
ing had been borrowed. Inasmuch as
he was drawing interest on his deposits
at 2 per cent. month, and was paying
only 10 per cent ayear fer them, he found
the business decidedly attractive and
profitable.

PISIDlCE.
BY ANDREW LANG.

THE ineiden; IS from the love stories of Parth
rs who preserved fragments of lost epic on I'll
petition of achilles against Lesbos, an island 9
d with Troy
The daughter of the Lesbian King
Within her bowers she watched the war,
Far off she heard the arrows ring,
The smitten harness ring afar:
And fighting from the foremost car,
saw one that smote where all must fee;
More fair than the Immortals are
He seemed 10 fair Pisidlcei
She saw. she loved him, and her heart
Before Achilles, Peleus' son,
Threw all its guarded gates apart,
maiden fortress lightly wont
And, ERE that day of fight was done,
No more of land or faith rocked she,
But joyed II her new life begun,
Her life of love, Pisidicel
She took gift into her hand.
As one that had a boon to crave:
She stole across the ruined land
Where lay the dead without grave,
Aud to Achilles hand she gave
Her gift, the secret postern's key.
Tomorrow let me be thy slaveW
Moaned &c her love Pisidice.
Ere dawn the Argives' clarion call
Rang down Methymnas burning street;
They slew the sleeping warriors all,
They drove the women to the fleet,
save one, that to Achilles feet
Chung, but, in sudden wrath, cried he:
s'For her no doom but death is meet"
And there men stoned Pisidice;
In Ravens Ct that haunted coast,
Amid the myrtles of the shore,
The moon sees many a maiden ghost
Loves outcast now and ever more.
The silence hears the shades deplore
Their hour of dear-bought love; but thee
The waves lull, meath thine olives hoar:
To dreamless rest, Pisidice.
The Century for March.

Days, lingering with holy dew
In summer, or in winter time
Striking sparkle up the blue
With the frosty vigor of their rime,
Each morning richer chrism pour,
She thinks, till, beaded to the brim.
They sanctify in all their store
Another draught of life for him
For him who, to her feal faith,
Stands in constancy sublime,
Waiting beneath the fateful stars
With great heart to meet his prime.
All, shining morning, prophecy
OF fadeless palms and asphodels,
Of that vast dawn beneath a sky
Where the eternal Sabbath dwells,
The rosy dawn, that dimly drawn,
AS in fainhng dream may stir,
When free shall start the eager heart
That beats not till he comes to her.
She waits to scale heavens height with him
Before the great white throne to bow:
Light of my soul, she murmurs DER,
He loved me then, he loves me now!

She Intended to Miss.

One of the leading members of the
artistic profession in Berlin appears to
be endowed with exaggerated sentiment
tai notions, for at his marriage he exact
ed promise from his wife that if he
happened to die first she would take her
own life as soon as his body was laid in
the coffin. A few days ago he took it
into his head to make his will, and be-
queathed his fortune to several cha1ita-
BILE institutions. When these testamen-
tary dispositions were brought to the
knowledge of his wife, she flew into u
violent passion. "Come now, said the
husband, "did you not agree to shoor
yourself with a revolver as soon as they
came to convey my body to the GENE
terry ?" $50 I did," she replied, "hut
