TWILIGHT.

Dream hallowed houri when drifting dusk an
shade
Roll from the dying glory OF the west;
And shadows woven in the governed breast
OF yonder beacon. lengthen down the gladel
From beck and mere the mirror'd glories fade;
And mother souls, secure In fold and nest
Gather their sleepy murmurers into rest
Of yielded limbs and silence Dimly arrayed
In dusk and silver Of the night, and fair
With lily stars the daughter Of the day
Trails of the sunlight in her floating hair,
And tender CLEAN of reverie, in gray
OF limpid eyeS-has borne our fevered care
For one brief hour of dream and shadow sway.

Defect in Educational System.

Perhaps the most serious defect of the
system of liberal education now preva-
lent in the United States is its lack Of a
truly progressive character. 1t is full Of
fits and starts. 1t is too disjointed and
fragmentary. This is partly because
there are no settled principles of pro-
cedure, fixing the order and amounts of
the studies; and partly because there is
no power which can secure teachers that
know precisely what they are expected,
fitted and permitted to teach. The con-
sequence is that the different years of
school life too much resemble the differ
ent successive sessions Of our legisla-
lures. Milton somewhere describes the
process of legislation as "hatching Lie
with the heat of Jurisdiction" Forum
ately, the process also consists in killing
the brood of lies already Matched by pre-
vious legislation. Now the process Of
education in this country is by no means
so bad in this regard as the process Of
legislation; but in certain respects the
former too much resembles the latter

Just as Glad to See an Actor.

Gen Custer, Lawrence Barrett and
Stuart Robson went over to Brooklyn
years ago to hear Mr.. Beechcr preach.
After the sermon the three went around
to the house Of friend where Mr..
Beecher was to come Immediately after
church. They were seated in the parlor
chatting as the great preacher came in.
The names had been given to him in the
hall AS soon as he reached the thres-
hold Of the parlor door he said, "Mr.
Robsonl" The actor went over and ex-
tended his hand.

to see you. But you are much younger

of the navy, but Mr.. Robson, the actor. u
"Oh, it makes no difference" said Mr..
Beecher, "I am glad to see you notwith

But he lost no time in turning from
him to pay court to Gen. Custer. As HI

He Didn't Pronounce It That yay.

An old fellow from the country, who
has plenty Of money invested, some of it
in an uptown hotel of the family sort,
was approached on the first day of open

bonair smile.
"Have you any rooms en- suite?" he
asked.
"Any what?" inquired the new land
lord.

''See here, young man, how many Of
them are your" asked the granger.
"Just me and Mamie-I mean my
wife. We've haven't been married
long. She sent me around to see if you
had any suites"
"Well, you go home and tell her to
come right along. We've got plenty of
rooms, and when you and she ara in
them they'll be too sweet for anything.

A poet should never grow old-or he
should not let it be known. There might
be secret league among the kinsfolk Of
poets to prevent the discovery Of the
date of their birth. Aged philosophers
seem in the natural order of things, but
the man that writes Of youth, love and
the fair face of nature, or the passions
which rarely exist beyond middle age,
should never grow old. Lord Tennyson
at 80 does not seem as if he could be the
poet, Alfred Tennyson, but the fact that
he was born on Aug. 8, 1909, is being
proclaimed by all the papers. The New
York Times says: SIN combined length
and distinction there is in English litera-
ture no contemporary or recent parallel
to Tennyson's career. ."-Pittsburg Bull

To Preserve Dead Bodies.

There is man in Denver who has an
idea that the country ought to give up
the present method of disposing of dead
bodies and adopt one which he suggests.
He does not advocate cremation, nor
anything else which, so far as is known,
appears to have been suggested by any
other person. His scheme is to freeze
the dead body in water, take the block
Of ice in which the body has been frozen
and carry it to the north and deposit it
on the shores Of one of the Arctic seas.
He says that he has already made some
favorable progress, and that an English
syndicate is considering the establish
ment of an international cemetery on
the shores of Baffin's bay, where he says
that future generations may go to find
the faces of their ancestors of the Nine
teenth century as natural as life.-New

Aleck West, colored, we believe, is en-
titled to the ginger cake for the greatest
curiosity this season in the way Of a
watermelon. He exhibits two perfect
melons joined together. Both melons
were fully developed and the meat was

that the runners from the vine grew

the result was the double melon. 1t was

An Immigrants Fortune.

Thomas Monahan, an Irish million
aire, who lived in Melbourne for half a
century, died recently. He was one of
the 800 poor Irish immigrants who sailed
for Australia in 1889, and the ship was
in such terrible sanitary condition that
ninety of them died on the voyage.
Monahan shrewdly invested his little
earnings in land about Melbourne, with
the result that blocks for which he paid
$500 in those early days are now worth
e250, 900 each. His aggregate wealth is

and resembles an ordinary reclin-

occupant will be about that of a
man in a barbel's chair. There
are adjustable sliding and head
rests. The cap for the condemned
will be put on in his cell by the
warden, in presence Of the sheriff
and physician. Ii the cap will
be an electrode or metal plate

with salt water. A strap fastened
on the cap will be carried down
under the arms and secured to a

one foot will be placed a special
