Among other noteworthy views Of
the matter taken by different man was
that of Dr. Charles F. Winkie the dis.
tinguished opponent of the nebulaI
theory in any form in which it NAV
present its ugly face to him. Upon be.
ing asked for his opinion DR.. Wrinkle
said he had no doubt whatever about
Arndt's discovery. Such a find was
sure to be made. When the doctrine Of
the mythus threatened to carry all be.
fore it, and it was almost universally
believed that the story of ancient TROY
was a sun myth, DR.. Schliemann was
raised up TO discover the site of Troy
and thus knock the theory in the head
So it is with the discovery of the cubical
planet. 1t had properly been DELAYED
until the nebular hypothesis and the de.
velopment theory of which it is part
were likely to succeed, and then it had
been brought to light, for it is manifest
that a cubical planet could never be
evolved, I'm my belief" continued
DR., Winkie, "the earth and all the othe1
planets were originally cubes, and did
not become spheres until, in order to dc
away with some Objectionable theory, il
was rendered necessary that they
should become more or less globular
In this condition they will remain until
similar emergency shall give rise to a
similar exigency which will not then
fail of satisfaction at the hands of some
man who shall be raised up for the pur.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
WHAT EFFIE THINKS.

wonder why, when summer comes,
We think we never want to see
The cold, bleak winter time again,
Which robs the leaves from every tree
wonder why We think the earth
Grows faiIer then than err before,
And long that in its hills and fields
Green grass might grow forevermore
And, oh, I wonder why, at last,
When summer yields to winters reign,
We all forget its sunny days
And welcome winters sports again?
j wonder why we give no sigh
To summers gifts that lie below
The ice on which we love to glide
And meath the tieecy, feathery snow?
Oh, well, the dear, blue sky above
Holds sunshine for us all to see.
Tho summer time or winter come,
Some pleasant thing each brings to me
With summer, glad vacation comes,
And | can spend it midst the flowers
That bloom and grow and help to make
So sweet the happy, golden hours.
And winter-time brings Christmas cheer,
And many frolic in the snOw
All boys and girls who greet it now
viii hate to let old winter 90.
So It Is best TO look for 10y
And sunbeams all throughout the year,
And whether cold, or whether warm,
We'll love whichever seasons here

GEORGES DISOsEDlENCE.

How Little Boy Learned the TruB way of
Showing His Love for His Parents.
1t was such a bright morning that
little George C, when he came out
of the house dressed neatly in his new
suit of clothes, thought their must be
something unusually bright up in the
sun. 1t was not in the sun; the bright
ness was in his own heart; be had re-
membered to thank his mother for max
ing his clothes. When he walked down
the stoop he thought that he could
never do enough for the dear mother
who was always working and planning
for his comfort and happiness. How he
wished he had pOcketful OF money, so
that he could buy her beautiful watch!
His little brain was busy planning
what he would do if he had only lots Of
money, when very fine-l0oking man
spoke to him pleasantly, and invited
him to take a walk. OF course he re-
membered that his mother had told him
again and again not to walk with
strangers on the street, but ho guessed
she did not mean this nice-lOol7ing man;
she meant bad men. So George walked
along with the man, and, before he
knew it, had told him how he wanted
to earn money to buy oh for his
mother The man was very glad, he
said, that George had told him, for he
knew man who wanted Just such q
boy rs George; if George would come
with him, he would introduce him to
the man. Yes. of course, he would
go very gladly. Where was the MANI
Down on boat
They went to the boat, bat the man
had just gone, and would come back in
a short time; they would 90 down into
the cabin and wait for him. When
George came on deck, the boat had
gone from the dock, and was sailing
down the lake away from his home.
Now the man who had brought him
aboard came up and ordered him to go
TO work, at the same time striking him
heavy blow on the back. At the first
landing made by the boat George was
taken ashore, and soon found that he
was to make one of gang of thieves;
he was to assist them. How constantly
his thoughts were of his home, and how
deeply he regretted his disobedience!
What would his mother do! 1t was now
three days since that bright morning,
and she would surely think him dead.
He could never get away from these
men, for they watched him every min
ute. He was hungry al the time, and
his body was covered with bruises.
One evening he found that the men
were so busy talking that they were not
watching him, and he slipped out on
the street. Hurrying rs fast as possible
from the part of the city where the men
were, he soon found himself on clean
street. A lady found him sitting on her
stoop, and after hearing his story took
him to Children's Home to spend the
night. In the morning the people in
charge telegraphed to his home, and
his mother came for him.
George though this home never was SO
beautiful as it was the day he returned.
Sitting with his mother in the twilight,
he was made to understand as he never
had before that the true way of showing
love to parents is to obey them, We
must remember, too, that they have
lived much longer than we, and know
much better than we do what is wise
and right. - Christian linton.

MOON BLINDNESS.


Frequent on the China Sea and Indian
Ocean-Cured by Darkness.
''Moon blindness, said an old sailor,
gazing at the upper rigging of a Cali
fornia clipper near Wall Street Ferry

thing. I've seen it often. l had q
touch of it myself once. | don't see,
though, how the English Rear Admiral

Wasp was due to moon blindness. 1t

has it can't see distinctly under thf
moonlight, but because it is caused by
sleeping with the moon shining on the

MY KNIGHT.

In days of old the warrior knight
To tourney rode aHcld
In braZen grHaves and cOrselet Digit,
With swofl and holm atiu shield;
His trusty nnce in rest he bore,
And favor of his lady wore.
High courage on the battle plain,
In tilt and loyal quest,
Hatred of fear and scorn of pain
His valiant soul possessed;
Dying he only wished to feel
A fOeman worthy of his steel.
Be thine such royal need to gain
As knghthoOd never knew,
Such lofty purpose to attain,
Such noble quest pursue,
While armed hosts i'm dread array
And ambushed foes bcset thy way.
Be strong of heart, of purpose strong,
As spurred and armored knight,
BE brave to fight against the wrong,
And loyal to the right,
And noblor triemphS thine shall be
Than over knights of chivalry.
Let Vice throughout her broad domain
Before thy prowcss fee,
And Virtue with hor modest train
A champion find in thee,
And heart and arm aud brain be strong
To heip the weak and right the wrong.

How a Taunt Originated.

New jersey is sometimes jocularly re-
ferred to as foreign country by per-
sons who do not know the origin of their
little joke. After the downfall of the
first Napoleon, his brother, Joseph, who
had been Kingof Spain, and his nephew,
Prince Murat, sought refuge in the
United States. bringing with them great
wealth. Joseph tried to induce several
States to pass an act to enable him as
an alien to hold real estate, but thew all
refused. Finally the New Jersey Leg,

at the privilege of purchasing land.

them up in royal style with pictures.

residence was the finest in America. He
was liberal with his money and made
many friends. The Philadeiphians were
envious of the good fortune of the ,Jer-
seymen in securing the two millionaires:

Spain to rule over them. The taunt
