What is Time P
Sidereal Messenger.


 Sometimes l have stood before the clock in wonder observatory and watched the hands as they approached the hour of midnight. Steadily the seconds glide away; twelve o'clock strikes, and slip from to-day into to- morrow. Where has the day gone? Yea, Where do these beating seconds go? So fieet-wiDged that ere we real ize that they are here, they have flown, vanished into the dim past Do they travel onward forever through universal space, as some have fancied our words and actions do? Might we by some magic overtake take them and live them over again? Vain hope! They are gone irretrieva- bly, Only the present is ours. What we give to that present as it passes will endure forever, but it can never be altered or recalled. Have you ever thought of the difference in this re- spect between time and space? We are limited by the latter as well as by the former; we can be in one place only at time; and if we speak of ab- solute space, perhaps we can never re- visit the regions we are now passing through, unless the endowments of a future life enable us to track the de- vious course we are now pursuing; for owing to the motion of the solar sys- tenn, it comes to pass that even at the end of the year we do not arrive at the spot where we were twelve months before, but strike out into be- fore untrodden realms of cosmic space. But practically, as far as place has any interest for us, we are free to come and go at will. We can revisit old scenes and explore new ones, being only limited by earth's extent. But with time how different! Past sea- sons we can recall only in memory, future ones we can anticipate only through hope or imagination. So that time is a more evanescent and, perhaps we might say, ideal conception than space. Both conceptions have, when we come to analyze them closely, many clements of mystery. But time partakes pre- eminently of the mar vellous. The fraction that is with us now we accept without thought, but this infinitessimal traction is linked by indissoluble bands to an eternity past and to an eternity to come. The fugitive moments are golden, for though we shall never see them again, they are building up for us character and destiny which shall last forever.

Wha, They Say.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial AdNeruscr
 The various emotions excited in young ladies in eastern cities, along the line from Boston to St, Louis, as kisses are caught or stolen from their sweet lips, are expressed in something like the following manner:
 The Boston girl (with an assump- tion of indignation)-"Sir, l declare such liberty as that is beyond all bounds of propriety and gentlem nly manners, r." she is stopped by an other, which isn't resisted very stren- uously.
 The New York girl says: "lndeea, Mir. Brown. your conduct Is little familiar. if not ardent have a mind to ask what you take me for" I he reply of Brown is that he takes her for something nice and sweet, and a sharp, rapid smacking ensues.
 The Buffalo girl says, with marked positiveness of manner, but with equally marked insineerity: "Wretch, thief. put that right back; wouldn't lose il for the world" She not only doesn't lose it, but gets (as she wants) double principal and interest.
 Tho Philadelphia girl says; "So you think that's dreadful smart! You wouldn't have done 1t if had been looking no, indeed." but she makes 1t point not to look.
 The Baltimore girl says: "Repeat that insGlt if you dare, sir" and ex- poses her face that it may bc done easily and often.
 The Washington girl remarks "Youve been and gone and done It, have you? Now, cipher out how much better you feel and calculate when you1l get another chance
 The Chicago girl says: "Contouni your impudence, do you take me for n New Yorker? I'd have you know there's spice of danger in that little matter" The only danger she ap- prehends is that you won't cut and come again.
 The Cincinnati girl says: Did you ever-no. l never-you men are per feet monsters" Affects tears and in- dignation, but is assuagcd by the du- plication of the old dose. | ne lAoulS'lilc RiTl saNH' ou VI done it sure, and well. 1T there are any more of tho same sort, please help yourself. If you can stand it can. '
 The Detroit girl says: Mein Jeru- salem; what naughty, funny man Better you look out how you take one, two. four more, before mine Root mother comes"
 The St. Louis girl says; "Oh, go along with your nonsense; you ought to be ashamed of yourself You can't do it again. You can't do it again. She exposes herself and 1t is done sev- eral times.

THE NURSERY AT NIGHT.

The day is done. and in thelr cosy nest The rose darlings lie in perfect rest, Their shining tresses softly straying OCT Those dimpled cheeks, that we may kiss once more Before we go; but let the kiss be light.
 Good night, sweet slumberersi
 Good night! Good night! Anon we see smile all gently play OCT sweet face, then slowly die away The little brain with fairy fancies teens, And Flossie wanders in the land of dreams; There she will Wander till nights shadows flee,
 Good night, my little one,
 God guardeth thee! She sees serener sunlight, fairer flowers, And bluer skies than grace this world or ours, AS down the silent slopes of shadowland Again she guides her hoop with eager hand, or may a mythic butterfly pursue.
 Good night. my pretty one
 Till morn, adieu! -Erch1hge.

The papers at length described the

The papers at length described the brilliant receptions, where crystal chandeliers cast an iridescent glow on mountains of nutural roses, and ten thousand yards of smilax, whose ser pentine garlands were woven in a monogram of intricate tracery, whose verdant freshness harmonized beauti- fully with the clond-like drapery of orange satin clinging so gracefully about the angelic form ot Clementina links.
 "Wonderful soliloQuized Mir. links, as he read the paper over and over again. Truly, my goose has laid me golden eggs.
 "To think that the daughters of Peter Jinks, tailor, would ever pose as society queens! Iris true that Pat Snodgrass, whose butcher stall stood near my shop twenty years ago, has daughters who rival mine across the way.
 "This is democracy, this is ,! There is nothing like it. A shining gold dol lar gets over gallon or blue blood. Hurrah for this country, this century, and the Jinks family of Crabapple street '" and the thoroughly aroused man tossed the paper in the air.
 "Ah! papa, dear, we are so glad to find you so cheerful, for we have a little suggestion that will please you," and Clementina, followed by Justicia and Mrs. Jinks, appeared in row before him.
 "You must admit, husband, dear, said Mrs. Jinks, "that we are now in society," but our position cannot be fully established unless we can dis play on our door and stationery a coat of arms or family crest. You know the name Jinks is just a bit tainted in sound with plebeianism We think of adding to it a ton and make it Jinkston. Listen how euphonious that sounds, and it will harmonize SO exquisitely with the rampant elk, and the crown for our crest, that talented Clementina is now designing"
 "The devilw screamed the now thoroughly aroused Mir. Jinks. "The time has come when can no longer submit"
 "Bring me the goose" and rushing from the garret with my rusted honor in his spasmodic clutch, he stamped me with such force on the marble slab that it was rent in twain.
 "Here is your crest, woman! En- grave this on your door and your card, and the only coat of arms that you can ever honorably own will be the arms of coats that your tailor parents pressed with this goose into his patrons suits. Let this be the insignia of your social station"
 That closed the scene. remember nothing more.

Aspects of Pessimism.
Atlantic Monthly.

As for the small and compact band who steadfastly refuse 10 recognize iU 'this sad, swift life" any occasion for self f-congratulation, they are not su badly of, in spite of their fun, ral trappings AS we are commonly given | to suppose. Ii k only necessary tu read a page of their writings-and | few people care to read morc---to ap- preciatc how thoroughly they enjoy the situation, and how, sitting with IIecate in their cave, they weave deli cate thoughts out of their chosen darkness. They are full of the hope lessncss of despair and confident in the strength of the worlds weakness. They assume that they Hot only rcp- resent great fundamental truths, but that these truths are, for the first time, being put forth in concrete shape for the ediflcation and adher- ence of mankind.
 Mr. Edgar Saltus informs Us that while optimism is as old as humanity, "systematic pessimism" is but H growt of the last half century, be- fore which transition period we can find only individual expressions of discontent. MT. Mallock claims that he is the first who has ever inquired into the worth of life ''in the true scientific spirit" But when we came to ask in what systematic or scientific pessimism differs from the old variety whkh has found home in the hearts of men from the beginning, we do not receive any very coherent answer. From Mir. Mallock, indeed, we hardly expect any. It is his province in lit- erature to propose problems which the reader, after the fashion of "The Lady or the Tiger" Is permitted to solve for himself But does Mir. Saltus really suppose that Schopcn- haur and Hartmann have made such headway in reducing sadness 10 sci- ence, that love is in any danger of being suppIanied by the "genins of the species" or that the "principle of the unconscious" Is at all likely to extinguish our controlling force? What have these two subtitle thinkers said to the world that the world has pot pfaCtbc&Ily kHOWH huu ielt SOF thousands of years already! Hegcsias, three centuries before Christ, was quite as systematic as SchopeDhauer, and his system begot more definite results; for several of his disciples hanged themselves out of deference of his teachings, whereas it may bc seri- ously doubted whether all the per- suasive arguments of the Welt sis Wille und VorsteiluDg have ever made or are likely to make single celibate. Marcus Aurelius was as logically convinced of the inherent wOrthiessness of life as Dr. Hart mann, and, without any scientific ap- paratus whatever, he stamped his views on the face of a whole nation.
 We are now anxiously warned by Mir. Saltus not to confouDd scientific peesimism with that accidental mel aDcholy which is the result of our own personal misfortune; but Leo- pardi, whose utter despair arose solely from moral inability to cope with them-for Joubert, who suffered ] as much, has left a trail of heavenly

The Eskimo's House of Snow.

AT night time, when the lamp goes
out and the temperature goes down,
ali these water soaked snow blocks and
banking of snow become converted into
Ice or sort of frozen snow ice. like
that which one sees on the sidewalks
after a cold, freezing night that fol
lows a thawing day. This alternate
freezing and thawiDg soon converts the
top part into this translucent material,
and, as result, the igloo becomes
uncomfortably chilly at night, the ice
being good conductor of the cold,
while the snow is not. The energetic
Eskimo does not reside long in the
same igloo-not over a month or six
weeks-unless he is where lie can
''bank" his building So deep that the
snow cannot be converted into ice clear
through its depth. One of the few
comforts Of Arctic winter travel is that
the voyager has nearly always new
warm snow house in which to sleep.
Whenever a travelling party reaches a
camping point where there are several
old, unoccupied igloos, they never think
of using them. but build others instead,
If only for a single night.

How AIligators Eat.

pondent, which lodges in the open
mouth goes down. He is lazy dog,
and instead of hunting for something
to eat he lets his vlctuals hunt for him.
That is, he lies with his great mouth
open, apparently dead, like the pos
sum. Soon a beetle crawls in it, then
a fly, then several gnats and a colony
of mosquitoes. The alligator doesn't
close his mouth yet. He is waiting for
a whole drove OF things. He does MS
eating by wholesale. A little later q
lizard Will cool himself under the shade
OF the upper jaw. Then a few frogs
will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats will
alight on the frogs. Finally a whole
village of insects and reptiles settle
down for an afternoon picnic. Then
all at once there is an earthquake. The
jaw falls; the alligator blinks one eye,
gulps down the entire menagerie, and
opens his great front door again for
more visitors.

Was He Killed BY Neglect.

A gentleman whose business calls
him to New York two or three times
week gives a graphic description of
race between two railroad trains and
its result: ~ was coming home from
New York the other day by the Penn
sylvania road" said he, land as our
train passed the repair shops'this side
of Jersey City and dashed out over the
meadows we found ourselves neck and
neck with a Morris and Essex train
running at full speed. The two roads,
you know. run side by side along there
for two or three miles, and there is a
race nearly every day. / knew there
was Que on then. and 1 rather enjoyed
the prospect. The Morris and Essex
engine was working like mad; the
spokes In its driving wheels were
flashed into one, and steam and little
jets of water new from its cylinders as
the piston rod plunged In and out. 1t
crept steadily ahead for a minute, but
our engine soon settled down to It's
work: the track flew faster and faster
behind US, and our cars ouivered with
the splendid effort we were making.
Every man of US grew reckless with
the excitement of the race of sixty
miles an hour, and not one of US, per-
haps, thought of what the consequences
might be.
"Gradually our train forged ahead,
and as took up my paper again saw
neatly dressed man, carrying a bum
die tied up in a red handkerchief.
walking on the track in front Of the
Morris and Essex train. Before / had
time to think of his perll a shrill whls-
tie was blown by the engine, which
WAS even then upon him, and he was
thrown twenty feet away, dead. As
we passed the other engine 1 had
noticed Its fireman standing with folded
arms, facing and looking at US. 1t was
a part OF his duty to look out ahead i,
and IL he had not been too much alb.
sorbed In the race the man might not
have been killed. / know from nv
own feelings while 1t lasted that a man
can't give bis attention TO ANYTHING
else during such race"

The Power of Imagination.

The power Of imagination is sup
posed to be stronger In women than in
men; but this was not shown In re
cent hospital experiment. DR.. Du-
rand, wishing to test the practical ef-
feet of mind diseases, gave 100 patients
dose of sweetened water. Fifteen
minutes after, entering apparently In
great excitement, he announced that he
had by mistake given powerful eme-
tic, and preparations must be made ac-
cordingly. Eighty of the 100 patients
became thoroughly Ill and exhibited
the usual result OF an emetie; twenty
were unaffected. The curious part of
it Is that, with very few exceptions, the
eighty ''emeticized" subjects were
men, while the strong minded few, who
were not to be caught with chaff, were
women.

The point fartbsst north reached by
any exploring party Is 260 miles from
the north pole. Beyond this are ice
gorges insurmountable, amid frost so
severe that no human ingenuity has yet
constructed any appliance to Withstand
its cold. 1t blisters the skin like ex-

they had journeyed miles In a single

A man can build n mansion

With lofty walls and stout;
