subject of her essay,

E ..z.s ft- THE WARM FULL NOON. 5 gql&E%rt
Poets ave long sung of the "cOld chaste
NOON pallid from her long watch of the earth.
We learn from Science that the full moon is
intensely hot. No creature known to US
could long endure contact with her heated
surface. The lunar day equals a fortnight of
our time. The moon receives the sun rays
fully as powerfully as we, and yet there is no
atmosphere to temper the heat as with US,
hence its surface must become intensely hot
before the lunar moon. Sir Herchellong
since pointed out that the moons surface
must be heated at noon to a degree surpass-
ing that of boiling water. The moon not on
rly reflects heat to the earth but she give out
heat by which she herself has been warmed.
For illustration, a copper penny, one inch in
diameter, heated in boiling water, and yet 8
yards from the observer, would give out as
much heat as he receives from the full moon.
But the most interesting scientific results are
those which refer to the moon herself. Her
surface is subject to the most remarkable
vicissitudes from more than Attic cold to that
of boiling water. Her substance must ex-
pand and contract alternately, as the waves
OF heat and cold pass over it. No wonder
that wonderful changes come over 1t. We re.
gard her as a satellite Of our earth but she is
in reality q comparison planet. In her
motions she follows the sun rather than the
earth, yet such is the influence OF the earth
that she is compelled to turn the same face to
her larger companion. 1t would seem as
though there was a waste Of the moons en-
tire energies, only that we cannot know all
that may be essential in the great scheme of

THE TRAITS THAT WIN.


The opinion which older people form of the
probable success of a young man is founded
upon a knowledge of his traits of character.
Every thoughtful young man of enterprise
and ambition should ascertain what. the es-
sentfal traits of success are, that in order as
these are lacking they may equip themselves
for the race of life. What we accomplish in
this world depends upon what we are. One
OF the first things is judgment. A mistaken
calling. the cause of most failures, is the re-
suit of a lack of sound judgment, or at least,
OF its proper exercise. Another trait is that
OF self-reliance. Many young men are
brought up without any cares or RESPONSE
bilities. and when compelled to shift for them
selves they are as weak as children. The ma
jority OF boys, under proper training, become
resolute and self-denying men. There are
many other traits, such as economy, courage
and moral int egrity, desirable to have, but
one may have all these, and they will not sue
coed without industry. Dickens, Moore,
Adam Smith and Newton are conspicuous
examples ofpatient toll. Genius of itself can
accomplish nothing. Life is real and short at
best, so let us be sober and earnest about this
matter, for the burdens now resting upon our
fathers shoulders will be removed to our
own. Then for the sake of our parents, our
country, ourselves and posterity, let us en-
deavor to start on the right track, and then
pursue it with all the determination, energy,
perseverance and manliness that there is
in us. -

while the threads to obtain valuable n dur

his pattern. Phoebe Cary tells 2 sweet little
story of q weaver, whO, wearied with the
cares Of life, neglected his work and stained
his fabric with tears. He had to nnnravel his
work, knowing that if he had kepthis eye up-
on the pattern all would rave been well. 10
one watching beside the weaver at his loom,
the work is q mystery almost unsOlvable.
Tho shuttles fly backward and foward, carry
ing the threads in and out among the lines Of
the warp. Soon out of this wild disorder,
this mingling of woof and web. come the tuft-
ed plaids, all shapes and standings, as ST the grand
other looms that work out the results Of mems
difficulties arise, for we often begin the web
of life with snarled and dingy skeins. But
every success gained by patient toll adds new
beauty and strength to the fabric. Look at
Isaac Disraeli. From his birth the world was
against him. He did not have a liberal edu-
cation, but he became the honor OF literary
skill and scholarship. The world is full Of
such examples, working out their aim in life
and aiding in the structure Of this wonderful
web.
