THE MEAsuRELEss DEEPs.

I think sometimes that the silence itself has
a soundless ghost,
a stiffness deeper than Ocean, where gather
the countless host
OF shades that are shades reflection, Of
glooms that are shades of gloom.
And echoes of thoughts unfathomed which
never in words find room.
There are thoughts which move at midnight,
too deep for q Visions reach;
There are waves deep down in silence TOO
strong for the grasp of speech:
And a mystic intuition in Infinite depths of
space
Too far 10 impress reflections OF shades on
a mortal face.
We know in the silent chambers the beats of
We nave seen with an inner vision the cur
tains of Silence part,
And far in the shaded distance have read, as
on magic scroll,
The words no sound could utter, addressed
to an earnest soul.
There are things so deep and sacred they fee
the approach of sound,
Ihefe are ideas pure and holy no natural
Indigenous bound,
And somewhere well adjusted, unseen, un-
heard, intense,
Are the truths VIII CHI reach us only through
a seventh myster GUS sense.
We hear not, speak not, feel not, yet we
think, and trust. and know,
While the viewless mystic currents sweep by
in their endless TOW,

ter the ghostly wings,
And a song too sweet for language its jubi-
liant anthem brings.
The grandest truths of the ages have en-
tered the heart like this,
The things We can never utter producing the
greatest bliss;
Mysterious intuitions, swift shades of a
shadow-thought,
Have Hooded the soul with sweetness in mir
acle wonders wrought.
We know there are soul vibrations, a subtle
and glorious bond,
Uniting the world material with a something
SO far beyond
That 1t reaches us in soul waves, too deli
cate far for touch.
That the br 'ghtest words are heavy and bur-
den them overmuch.
So We learn its beauteous wisdom. Its peace
full currents flow
Too far for the reach of evil. too high for
Too deep for our words to fathom, too soft
for the grasp of sound.
In a place which God has guarded with a ST.
lence most profound.
Then welcome the mystic message, the
peace beyond all compare,
Too sweet to be grasped or measured, found
but by q voiceless prayer;
The sign of a higher presence, a rapture
which may not cease

some time to be,
The ripples of glory tapping the shore of an
endless sea;
The secret of life eternal, TOO grand for the

Conveying q ~soundless message to the wait

Sc the soul receives its message, by a route

From the deeps where fathomless silence

Where the finite may not measure with its

New Zealand has the very extraordi-
nary property of causing all who have
one set foot on her shores to pass be-
meath the indescribable spell of her
w%itchery. I neve met any one who,
having tasted life in his new island
home, would consent to change his
abode. Switzerland has loftier peaks
and fairer towns; Tyrol may boast
prettier outlines; Scotland has her clas-
sic heather and her brown hillsides;
Norway, historic memories that linger
in her winding fiords; but having gazed
at and fancied myself in love with each
back to my ideal beauty, New Zealand.
Nature does not often play the prodigal;
to New Zealand she has given all
her charms, and keeps them fresh
and imperiously beautiful as Cleo
has she set down towering mountains
beside profound fiords, and backed the
scene by dense forests sloping down on
the other side of the range into fertile
pastures. In no other spot does she

The origin of the phrase That's a
feather in your cap" is thus explained:
Among barbarians it is the custom to
add a new feather to the headgear fol
every enemy slain. The Caffirs Of
Cabul stick a feather in their turban
whenever they kill a Mussulman. In
Scotland the sportsman wears a feather
in his cap-a featherfr from the first wood

to no writer Chicago Herald.

Rubber is at present largely adulter-
ated so as to make it cheaper. The
overshoes and boots made of this
material are adulterated with finely
ground burned potter's clay, of which
it can stand as much as Is per cent.

pose. The adulteration is harmless,
only the material is not SO strong, and

the pure rubber is stronger than the
best leather, the adulterated rubber is
less strong than the worst leather.
Rubber hose and sheet rubber are usually
adulterated with soapstone. This gives
a lighter color to the material. while the
burnt-elay adulteration leaves it dark
colored which is preferred for shoes.
But some authorizations are hurtful, be-
ing poisonous in their nature Such is
the adulteration with zinc-white, which
makes the rubber very light-colored.
and is used in the rubber for nursing
bottles and children's toys. The effects
of zinc poisoning on the system are
scarcely less alarming than lead poison

Pennsylvania died from chewing a
paper collar. which, Ike many paper
collars, was prepared with zinc-white;
and cases are now or record where
children have become sick from keep

many cases of zinc poisoning from the
white nipples of nursing bottles have
already occurred. that the use OF zinc
in them has been mostly abandoned,

able to sing at sight, is most desirable 40

nearly every one who is willing TO devote
only comparatively small portion of time
to the study of music. True, there are few
who can attain high rank and fame as vocal

perhaps, not desirable. In order, however,
to acquire the requisite knowledge of music
