Over the Baluster.

over the baluster bends a face,
Darlingly sweet and begulling.
Somebody stands in careless grace,
And watches the picture smiling.
The light burns dim in the hall below,
Nobody secs her standing;
Saying good night again, soft and slow
Half way up the landing.
Nobody, only the eyes Of brown,
Tender and full OF meaning,
That smile on The fairest face in town,
over the baluster leaning.
Tired and sleepy, with dropping head,
I wonder why she fingers,
And when all the good nights are said
Why somebody holds her fingers
Holds her fingers and draws her down,
Suddenly growing bolder,
Till her loose hair drops in masses brown
Like mantle over his shoulder.
over the baluster soft hands fair
Brush his cheeks like a feather
Bright brown tresses and dusky hair
Meet and mingle together
There's a question asked, there's a swift
caress,
She has flown like bird from the hall
way;
But over the balustcr drops Yes
That shall brighten the world for him
alway.

The success Of the giant refracting
Lick telescope on the summit of
Mount Hamilton in California has
been so great that the question of
the limit of size for large telescopes
has assumed an entirely new aspect.
When the Washington telescope
was completed a dozen years ago
many thought that the limit had
already been reaches, and it was
asserted that even if larger in
strument could be made it would
hardly be worth the expense and
trouble on account of alterations
which could not be overcome. Yet
the Lick telescope was, although
the project of constructing such a
monster was looked upon as vision
ary. ITS optical properties are so
excellent that atmospheric causes
do not affect its performance more
than they do that of smaller tele-
scopes. Now nobody appears to
think that the limit has been reach
ed, and the appetite for celestial
marvels, awakened by the really
wonderful observations at Mount
Hamilton has created almost a pub
lie demand for a still larger and
more powerful telescope. This has
found expression i'm several projects
for the construction of such a glass,
and one of these has taken the def
mite form of a contract with the
Clarks to make a telescope for the
Of Southern California
having an object-glass forty inches
in diameter. The diameter Of the
Lick glass is thifty-siX inches. Since
the light-gathering capacity of an
objccl-glass varies as the square of
the diameter it will be seen that the
proposed telescope is to exceed the
Lick telescope in this respect about |
25 per cent. If everything goes
well 1t is thought this new telescope |
can be setupin its dome on Wilson's |
Peak in California, within three
years, and the optical glass makers
Of Paris who cast the discs for the
Lick glass are already at work upon
n casting for one of the 4O-inch |
lenses.

Lived in Slavery.

In Lowndes county, Alabama,
there lives Il white man whose life
history reads like a chapter of genu-
ing romance. His name is George
johnson, and he was a slaye before
the war. From force of circum-
stances he associated with negroes
aud married a negro woman. He
was brought to that state by slave
traders i'm his early childhood, and
sold to an old gentleman named
johnson, who lived on a splendid
prairie plantation i'm Lowndes coun-
ty, and owned several hundred
slaves. Johnson remembers little or
nothing about his early history be-
fore he fell into the hands of the
slave traders. He was picked up
in Virginia by the Carolinas brought
to Alabama and sold. He became a
fivoritc with his master, who was
very kind to him and
gave Linn unusual privileges
and advantages, After the war he
married ~ mll-hioodcd negro

The following story is told for the

telope lost valuable thrce-year-old
Percheron mare recently, and as he
was ut loss to know the cause of
her death he took his veterinary
tools-onc butcher knife and an
aNe-and proceeded to investigate.
When he arrived at the facts he
found the bladder of the animal was
bursted, and that il contained three
live snakes, the largest one being
about eighteen inches long and
three around. 1t is believed that
the mare drank some snake eggs,
which went into the bladder and
Matched out, as it is impossible for u
live snake, no matter how small, to
have gone through any other way"

w. C. T.U. Notes.

Delegates are being reported from
different Unions to attend the con-
ventlon to commence on the 26th.
Good news comes from Beebe, as
the contest in the election was square
ly drawn between the whisky ticket
and the temperance ticket, and tenn
perance won; SO the friends there are
expectant of better time. The trou-
BILE in the past has been lack of ex-
ecutiyes to see prohibition enforced.
The meeting of the Union was quite
large and enthusiastic. The election
of officers resulted in the election of
Mrs. Sara K. Hart as president, Mrs.
Noon who has served so acceptedly
declining on account of family duties
to be reelected, though persisteutly
urged. Miss A. G. Farr was re-
elected vice-president, as also were
the other officers, Mrs. E. H. Thomp-
son, corresponding secretary; Mrs.
e. f. Babcock, recording secretary,
Mrs. E. J. Rice, treasurer. The SUI
perintendents of departments made
some reports, and some were re-elect-
ed and others appointed, but the
names will be reported in the future.
The reports show good work has been
done in the various lines, especially
in lectures and Gospel Temperance
meetings.
Dear sisters of the Unions, please

us give her royal welcome.
We hope every Union will be fully
represented. You cannot afford to
miss the inspiration which you will
receive, and as the liquor forces are
organizing for more effectual defense
we need to be equally in earnest.
