He forgot to pull his Moon in.

The lteralness of children has to plead
for their want Of reverence in such cases as
boy named Tom, six years old, who noticed
one winter morning after sunrise the moon
in the western sky. Having never before
seen both orbs at the same time, he was
deeply impressed and ran to his mother with:
ooh, mamma, 've got an awful joke on
our Father who art in heaven -
''Why, Tom what do you meanY" said
the mother, in rebuking tone, greatly
shocked.
Gle forgot to pull his moon in" cried
Tom, his voice quakingwith glee.- Christian

nion to q negress aged 100 years.
The Item reporter in his rounds Of the
hospital this morning visited Ward

shows the Favages Of age, but is never
thorless in full possession Of her facul-
ties. She spoke as follows:
My name is Sallie Hamilton; was
born in village called Martinsbnrg,

FIRST STEPS.

Hush the baby stands alone
Hold your breath and watch her;
Now she takes stepjust one
Waivers, stops quick, catch her
Courage Life's first step will cost:
Now again she's trying
One, two-three she walks, almost,
Trembling, stumbling, crying.
Precious baby up once more
Tiny feet advancing,
Little arms stretched out before,
Bright eyes upward glancing,
Where mamma, with cheering smile,
To her darling beekons
Softly coaxing baby, while
Her first steps she reckons:
One, two, three--ohl she will walk
Now, before we know II
Hear her sweet~voiced baby-talk,
Little bird, or poet
Prattling, toddlfng, there she goes.
Stepping of so proudly
Turning In her untaught toes,
Pleased-then laughing loudly.
First exploit OF self-content
Now she's growing bolder,
Strength and courage yet unBpent,
One can nafuly nOiu nereE
She so presses to advance
In her baby-leafning
PulisSo-Ah by what mischanee
Is this overturningf
There lies baby on the fooc,
spTawling, rolling, screaming
Are life's first attempts so poorg
Baby was but dreaming
When she felt so bold and strong;
Gladly nov she's elinglng
To the one whose soothing song
Back her smile is bringing.
Hurts are cured by mammals kiss
Brave again as ever,
See, the pluclky little miss
Makes her best endeayor;
Walks right oif--the darling pet
Rush now to caress her
Come what will Of first steps yet,
All good angels bless her

Beneficial IsfFects ofthe Worlds
Exposition.

The New York Times Of late date
makes the following encouraging men
ton of the Worlds Exposition:
Congress has been asked to loan
81 100000 to the managers of the
New Orleans Exposition. 1t has been
discovered that the money subscribed
by stockholders and contributed by
the city-which will probably amount
in all to 81, 100, ,Oo0--will not be snf-
ficient to provide accommodations for
the exhibitors who have already ap-
piled for space. The loan bill agreed
upon by committee Of the House
seems to have been carefully framed,
SO as to insure the government against
loss. If it shall become law il will
be the duty of the managers to re-
double their exertions, and TO spare no
effort in the work Of making tho ex-
hibition truly Irrational and interna-
tional" in its scope, and worthy in
every way OF the national govern
ment's protection and powerful aid.
"The effect Of new impulse, due
either to direct application Of North
ern capital and energy, or to q wider
knowledge gained by Southern men,
may be plainly seen in Georgia, where
old methods in agriculture have been
improved or supplanted by new, and
where new industries have been estab-
lished. One of the most powerful
causes of what is in some respects an
industrial revolution in that State and
adjoining regions was the exposition
in Atlanta. An improvement Of agri-
cultaral methods, the planting Of new
industries, and development of
natural resources heretofore neglected
will undoubtedly follow the holding of
a successful exhibition, in New Or
LEAFS. The exhibition will also bring

A Humming Bird Combat.

While out collecting near Aurora, New
York, noticed hedge of lilac bushes,
and attracted by the delicious odor, |
seated myself near them and partook of
my lunch. | had Just finished and was
preparing TO continue my walk when q
singular lwittering, not unlike that of the
blackcap titmouSe, arrested my attention.
Looking up discovered fine male ruby
throated humming bird, almost within
reach Of my hand. He circled uneasily
for few moments then alighted on a de-
caved twig, within three feet of me. and
began TO arrange his plumage. | remained
very quiet and he did not seem to notice
me until made sudden motion with my
head. In an instant he was out of sight,
but soon returned with bis mate, and after
a few half suspicious glances at me lowered
above the branch for q few seconds; then
closing their wings both birds grasped the
branch with their little feet. While OBJ
serving them, | noticed a small, dark
shadow coming toward them, and
suddenly the stiffness was broken by q
succession of sounds, which very much re-
sembied q swarm of bees; and then an
other male bird dashed down and made 4
savage lunge with his beak. But the first
bird was not to DO caught so easily. He
sprang lightly from the limb and the other

most stunned himself; he recovered sutii-
GENTLY TO grasp the limb near the ether S
mate. When the first bird saw this he
dashed at his rival with the fury of min
iature whirlwind; and the ruby and green
feathers fairly showered to the ground.
The female looked as unconcerned as II
they were not present. After few min
utes of battle, both combatantS dropped TO
the ground. One flew away, but as he
acted very strange 1 think his eye was
pierced by the sharp besk of his adversary.
The other returned to his mate, very sad
looking bird. His tail feathers were gone
and his beautiful throat was full of blem-
ishes, but he was far from being conquered
as his seornful twitter showed Forest

Sun Storms.

How can we, who are bewildered and
appalled, by the fury of our planets cy-
clones and volcanic eruptions, form con-
ception of the terrible energy of natural
operations on the sun? Professor New
comb suggests that if we call the solar
chromssphere an ocean of fire, we must
remember that il is an ocean hotter than
the fiercest furnace and as deep as the
Atlantic is broad If we call its move
ments hurricanes, we must remember that
our hurricanes blow only about hundred
miles an hour, while those of the chrome
sphere blow as far in 4 single second. They
are such hurricanes az, coming down upon
us from the north, would, in so seconds
after they had crossed the st. Lawrence, be
in the Gulf of Mexico. carrying with them
the whole surface of the continent in a
mass, not simply of ruin, but of glowing
vapor, in which the vapors arising from the
dissolution of the materials composing the
cities of Boston, New York and Chicago
would be mixed in q single indistinguish-
able cloud When we speak of eruptions
we call to mind Vesuyius burying the sur
rounding cities in lava; but the solar erup-
tons, thrown $4,000 miles high, would
enGulf the whole earth and dissolve every
organized being on its surface in moment.

portant results in p:omoting the prosperity

There is much to do and it will require a
world of labor to bring the organization to
that perfection that the scope of its duties
contemplate; but by industry and intelli-
gence much can he done in the direction
intended. The region intended to be bene-
flied is vast in area, and but sparsely popu-
lated in proportion to that area. 1t has

to varied agriculture, grazing numbering
and mining. Watered by rivers capable of
