WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN.

What is gentleman? Is it a thing
Decked with a scarfpin, chain and a
ring,
Dressed in suit of immaculate style,
Sporting an eye-glass, lisp. and smile?
Talking Of operas, concert and balls,
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls,
Summing himself at SAT Homes" and
bazars,
Whistling mazurlas, and smoking cigars.
What is gentleman? Say, is it one
Boosting of conquests and deeds he has
done?
One who unblushingly glories to speak
Things which should call up flush to
his cheek?
One, who, whilst railing at actions unjust,
Robs some young heart of its pureness
and trust;
Scorns to steal money, or jewels, or
wealth,
Thinks it no crime to take honor by
stealth?
What.is gentleman? Is it not one
Knowing instinctively what he should
shun,
Speaking no word that can injure or pain,
Spreading no scandal and deeping no
stain?
One VINO knows how to put each at his
ease,
Striving instinctively always to please:
One who can tell by a glance at your
cheek,
When to be silent, and when he should
speak?
What is a gentleman Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won.
Living in uprightness, fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod,
Caring not whether his coat may be old,
Prizing sincerity far above gold
Recking not whether his hand may be
hard,
Stretching it bolding to grasp its reward?
What is a gentleman? Say, is it birth
Makes man noble, or adds to his worth?
Is there family tree to be had
Spreading enough to conceal what is bad?
Seek out the man who has God for his
Guide
Nothing to blush for'and nothing to hide;
Be he noble or be he in trade,
This is the gentleman Nature has made.

or noticing it the gentleman looked
at me, with the same benevolent
smile he bestowed upon the little
girl, and said:-
"You grow weary?"
"Just a little" was the reply, and
l resolutely turned towards the
window.
He took no notice of that, but
said, "The scenery is uninteresting"
"Very," was my brief reply.
"But the people who live here
think it the most delighted in the

because they have never seen
any other, then"
"Indeed, you are mistaken ; most
of them have seen parts of every
country where ship sails"
"Why, who are the people?"

decidedly sorry when the, woman
awoke, and exclaimed, "There is the
first house in c."

He slept and dreamt that the kangaroo
Had given fancy ball;
The elephant came with the festive gnu,
The mouse with the ostrich tall.
A funny giraffe that did nothing but laugh
Dropped in with centipede;
And cricket and flea that had lust been
to tea,
Waltzed round with remarkable speed.
A wasp and humble bee had chat
Just over his little nose;
And boa constructor upon the mat,
Dressed up in his Sunday clothes.
A crow and a raccoon, in fire balloon,
Paused over his bed to sing;
And neat armadillo crept up on his
pillow
To dance the highland fling.
Then all, ere they left, made a graceful
bow,
And out in the moonlight sped;
Except ponderous brindle COW,
Which stopped to stand on its. head,
The little boy woke and grinned at the
joke,
Sprang out of his bed with a lilt;
L can dream it all over" said he, while
they cover
Me I'm N, fh;g o.,.,,

A School T eacher's Story.
BY c. f. WILDER.

1t was the first of August, a few
years ago, that | received II letter
from a friend on Cape Cod, inviting
me to spend few months with her.
/ had been school teacher many
years, and though many things were
unpleasant about it, | had con-
cluded that l had found my life
work, and had made up my mind
to spend my days in doing good in
this way. had just finished the
summer term n the city of W,
and was glad to bid good-by to the
hot brick school-house, and the still
more furnace-like room under the
French roof up the the four flights
of stairs, and to cease the weary
walk over the hard, dusty pave
ment four times each day. My home
had been in closet-like room,
where the view from my only win
dow was directly towards the sky,
and night after night would l be
forced to look, if opened my eyes,
upon the "milky-way" which was
actually creamy with the caloric
vapors of the summer heat; and if
I fell asleep after my sky-gazing, l
would dream of green fields and
milk-maids who carried full pals on
their heads; unless just before the
visions came / CHANGED to dis
tinguish the stars of "Job's-coffin,"
then the dream would be of weari-
hess and death, and teaching young
angels in some distant world, and
after night spent in such rest,
had not gone to my daily task with
as brave n heart as l sometimes had.
No wonder that / rejoiced over that
letter.
| hunted up an old winter gar
ment to make into bathing-dress,
and bought rough straw hat to
tie over my ears to keep the water
out of my head and the sun off my
face, for 1 thought l would spend
half the time in the water. l don't
know why l was so thoughtful about
keeping the sun off my face, for it
was of that color which the sun
could not make darker. | was not
blonde, with blue eyes and golden
hair, but l was dark, so dark that
my mother was ashamed of me
when l was a baby, and even She
a mother-thought me homely; and
my eyes were neither black nor gray,
but variety of dark colors, and my
hair was dark and coarse. 1t was
very hard to own it, but l was not
handsome, and no one had ever
called me so, excepting my Latin
teacher. / was about fifteen then,
and when l heard that he thought
me real handsome" l went home
and marched straight for the din
ing-room glass; that told me that he
had made a mistake, but | knew
that the old-fashioned sitting-room
glass, with its gilt frame, and little
boy and girl in the picture at the
top, always 'hattered," so l went
up stairs and opened the blinds,
pushed back the lace curtains and
looked in that glass. With all its
flattery, could see nothing but
plain, dark, sensible-looking girl;
and as woman of twenty-five, 1
was the same.

"good-by for two MONTHS" I found
myself in the cars on my way to

-Good-morrow, fair maid, with lashes
brown,
Can you tell me the way to Womanhood
Town.
Oh, this way and that way-never stop.
'Tis picking up stitches grandma will drop
'Tis kissing the baby's troubles away,
'Tis learning that cross words never will
pay,
'Tis helpiug mother, tits sewing up rents,
'Tis reading and playing, It's saving the
cents,
"Tis loving and smiling, forgetting to frown

Just wait, my brave lad one moment

Manhood Town lies where-can you tell
me the way?
o, by toiling and trying we reach that
land
A bit with the head, bit with the hand
'Tis by climbing up the steep hill work,
'Tis by keeping out of the wide street

'Tis by always taking the weak ones part
'Tis by giving mother happy heart,
'Tis by keeping bad thoughts and actions
down,

To their estate in the Grown-up Land.

How Comets Go to Pieces.

The effect of the suns attraction in
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of comets is well
known to astronomers. The nuclei of
the large comets of 1880, 1913, 1880
and 1882 must have had great force
OF cohesion between their parts, in
order to withstand the tendency to dis
Indignation at the times of periheion
passage. Had the nuclei been either
liquid. or gaseous, or even clusters of
solid meteorites, the difference between
the suns attraction on the central and
the superficial parts would have pulled
the comets asunder, spreading out the
fragments into somewhat different orbits,
ike tbs meteoric streams of August and
November. This view of the gradual
dispersion of comets in perihelion is in
striking harmony with the facts of OBJ
servation. The comets of short period
have not only been Invested of tails,
which N all probability they originally
possessed, but they seem to be losing
more and more of the clouds matter
which surrounds their nuclei. Halley's
comet has lost much of its ancient
splendor, and had its period been no
greater than that of Eneke's or Biela's,
it might long since have been reduced
to telescope magnitude. The sepa-
ration of Biela's comet in 1845, was not
the beginning of that body's dismember-
ment. We have evidence that this
process had commenced before 1898. as
in that year meteoric shower, produced
by its debris, was observed in Europe.
A shower derived from the same group
was again seen in 1888. Before 1916,
however, the separated fragments were
too small to be individually recognized.
How far the suns action alone can ex.
plain the facts it may be impossible to
determine. The SidereaL NfesSe,.qer,

A Bear Fishing for Salmon.

One OF the curious sights saw In
Alaska. SAYS returned soldier, was q
grizzly pe.- hsbing for salmon. That
was funny sight. They have the COM
mon brown bear and the gftzslT IN
Alaska, and the Alaska grizzly is bigger
than his brother of the Rocky Noun
tains and Just as tough. Long before we
came to the spot where we saw the
grizzly fishing, we saw his track in the
soft margin Of the lake. The marks Of
his feet measured 16 inches across and
were nearly twice as long. Suddenly
nv guide made me q sign and dropped
down behind a rock. did tie sstde,
and, looking shsad not more than three
rods, Isaw the largest wild animal I had
ever seen in my life outside of mel.
agerie. knew it was a grizzly. The
great brute was lying on the top OF a
bank in which he had seooped out a
chute down to the waters edge; at 9
sharp angle. The bears eyes were fred
intently on tie water, and he had not
heard our approach. Presently he slid
down that chute with astonishing vel
oeity and plunged head first in the
water. When he arose and backed out
he had in one of his great paws an enor-
nous salmon which he took to the top
of the bank and proceeded to make a
meal of. He never finished it, for both
my guide and myself sent two rife balls
into his gigantic CARCASS. He arose to
his feet, with roar like lion, turned
about two or three times as If to see
whence the deadly fire had come, and
then fell to the ground and was soon
dead. This fishing for salmon is a COM
mon method of securing choice morsels
of food by both the..common bear and
the grizzly.
