The Imnginntion of Cod.

DIR. Thompson was walking, in his col
lege days, with two companions, one of
whom was Alfred Tennyson; of the name
of the other l am not sure The path by
which they went was one which all Cam
bridge men knew, namely, that which leads
from the backs of the colleges through the
fields toward Cotton After passing the
brook, which used to be crossed land per-
haps is now by rude wooden bridge, it
was perceived that Tennyson had Jagged
behind. He had paused by the side of the
brook, brought his eyes as near as he could
to the surface of the water, and was exam
lining with intense interest the subaqueous
life which the little stream contained.
After a time he reioined his companions,
and this was his utterance when he Joined
them; What an imagination God hasl"
The words must have made a deep i'm
preston upon my informant's mind, other
wise he would not have retained them In
memory and would not have thought it
worth while to repeat them TO me. They
made a similar impression upon myself
when so repeated, and l cannot but regard
them as containing true philosophy of
nature. Whatever may be the power Of
natural selection, and whatever causes
may be at work to produce the varied scene
of life which the world contains, you need
some underlying cause, both of life itself
and of reproduction and variation, and OF
all natural phenomena, and If casually the
existence of the universe may be attributed
to Gods will and purpose, So the endless
variety of vital manifestations may be at
tributed to that which in the case of man
we should call Imagination Nineteenth

They Compromised.

A young married man named Johnson,
in Chicago, who was drawing liberal sal
airy, told his devoted wife that every two
dollar bill that came to him should be hers
for pin money. Gradually Mr.. Johnson's
friends learned of the promise, and began
to con9pire to help out the popular young
lady If they owed their friend anything,
they invariably paid him in two dollar bills.
Finally they got to borrowing from him on
purpose to liquidate in this way, and still
unsuspecting, Mr.. johnson continued to
allow the bills to flow into the willing lap
of his better half
Finally, the cashier of the firm that en-
ployed him learned of the generous prom
Use, and he, too, entered the conspiracy, and
on the next pay day handed Mr., Johnson a
roll that staggered him. Every dollar OF

A Mathematical wonder.

Zerah Colburn was born in Cabot, VT,
in 1904 His powers lay chiefly in the line
of mathematics, Before he was years
old he displayed an astonishing readiness
in solving arithmetical problems, especial
ly in multiplication. At the age of he
was taken TO London and his skill tested in
the presence of eminent mathematicians
On being asked what number being multi
piled into itself gave l06, 800, before the
figures could be written down he replied
327; when asked the cube root of 26s, 1885,
125, he answered with equal readiness, CAS-
He was asked how many minutes there are
In forty Eight years and before the ques
ton could be written down, he said %, 22S, =
500, which is correct if no allowance is made
for leap year.
Unfortunately, at least for the science of
mathematics, Colburns remarkable talent
left him as soon as he began to train his
mind in Il systematic way. In later years
he taught school in various places; was for
time an itinerant Methodist preacher and
in 1885 was made professor, not of mathe
MATES, but of languages, in the university
at Norwich, Vt He died in ls4O leaving
behind him no works worthy of mention.

That was long unshared by thee,
For thy smile can make q summer
Where darkness else would be.
Like leaves that fall around us
In autumn's fading hours,

When the cloud Of sorrow lowers,
And though many such we've known, love
Too prone, alas to range,
We both can speak of one, love,
Whom time could never change

Think Again.
tury.

What is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander, and those who are
tretting over the probable rise in the
price OF tin 'aeTt July, mind you, the in
creased tariff does not go into effect
until next July, so before YOU tear
something or kick the republican party
out of existence, think again and see
II there are not some benefits from the
Mckinley bin that will more than offset
this bug bear. At present all the unre-
fined sugar you use has duty of p to
3 cents, that will be abolished in April;
the duty on refined sugar is now from 3
to 81 cents, after April it will be only J
cent per 10. Figure out how many
pounds of tin you use in a year at an
increased duty of l ITO cents per h.,
then how many pounds of sugar you
will use at a reduction of from p to 8
cents per h., and credit the difference
to Robert M. LaFollette and the repub-
lican party.
But the chances are that you will not
pay more for tin at all, except as specu-
lators manipulate the market. The hum
of industries TO manufacture tin in this
country is already heard. Millions of
dollars have embarked in the enterprise
since the bill was passed, thousands of
workmen are already benefited, ard
before July American tin will control
the market, and then as was contem-
plated by the trainers of the bill, you
will have cheaper and better tin.
