they most frequently appear lie be-

Northern lights have been seen as far
down as the twenty-fifth degree
of north latitude. In full splendor,
however. they may be seen only in the
northern polar regions to the seventy
fifth degree of latitude. Here nature is
displayed in all her grandeur. When
the sun is set and the grey veil of twi-
light is cast over the earth the north
ern horizon grows darker and darker.
Soon there may be distinguished a
segment of the sky more sombre than
its backgrounds; this is hemmed in by
white concentric ares of light. Colored
rays shoot forth therefrom in all di-
rections. They interlace and inter-
twine until they seem to be woven into
one fiutter band OF color. And anon
it changes to sea of fire! The rays

Blue and pink will photograph white.
Purple will appear many shades
lighter than it is in reality.
Red and deep yellow appear black, or
nearly so.
Strong contrasts in dress or trim

spar, was little child.
why, you poor little creeter!" ex-
claimed Ben as he unfastened the
dress. How N the world did you git
out here?"
The baby stopped crying as soon as
she saw him, and, stretching out her
tiny arms. gave little chuckle of de-
light.
He picked her up tenderly, and,
wringing out the soaked little gar
ments, which We're like cobwebs. and
trimmed with the finest lace, buttoned
her up inside his heavy jacket.
Then it was that he heard the shouts
and cries for the first time, and run
ming helplessiy up and down the beach,
and gazing seaward.
What were they looking at? Look
ing at nothing. They are staring and
gaping at the place where a good ship
had just gone to pieces. Could no one
be saved? No. it was impossible. No
boat could live in such surf, and there
is. moreover, no lifeboat at the Cove.
The ship went to pieces where she
struck. OF AL the crew not one lived
to tell the tale, and of all the passen-
gers, not one was sayed-except the
little baby buttoned up under Skipper
Ben's rough pilot jacket.
But the baby lived, and was like a
sunbeam in the little brown house. for
no one talked of putting her in an
asylum" Nor is there any orphan
asylum at the Cove. though there are
orphans in plenty, for many a good
fellow goes to the banks never TO re-
turn, not SuppoSing that he has said
goodbye for the last time to the younw
Stcrs at home.
The baby cried for mamma little ut
first, but she soon learned to say Ben"
instead. And from that day on the
little reom never became narrow and
stuffy, and Ben's pipe was the pipe of
peace and comfort.
The next year, when he went to the
banks, he left her in the care of 'Lisha
fuckers wife, at the store; but the year
after she cried so hard when he was 90
ever since she has been his constant
campanion. And he named her
Dolly.
Five years have passed since that
stormy night, and Dolly is six years
old. She is a bright, happy little girl,
and she loves the grim old ocean dear
ly, even if it did SO nearly become her
tomb
Sometimes in the evening, when the
wind is bowling and shaking the little
brown house, and the fire is roaring
brightly and merrily up the chimney
Skipper Ben will tell Dolly how he
found her lying on the beach, securely
fastened to a broken spar.
Then he will pull out a little, old,
worn leather trunk. and will take from
it the once dainty baby clothes. They
are yellow now, and still stained with
sea water. He will hold the delicate
frabric in his hard. rough hand with
reyerential awe, and look with wonder
at the little faded blue ribbons that
once were shoulder-knots.
Il wonder who your parents wasp
he says to Dolly. Only think what
you might ha' been! Why, you might
ha' been markisn'
Skipper Ben's round blue eyes be
come rounder and bluer at the thought,
and he takes his pipe from his mouth.
You might ha' been a dorchess!
But Dolly shakes her head with it's

Ben's rough coat saying, mo, no! I'd

Mark Twain to Autograph Hunters

Mark Twain thus recently wrote to
an autograph collector in response to .
request for his signature:
Il hope [ shall not offend you; shall
certainly say nothing with the inten,
ton to offend you. L must explain my
self, however, and will do it as kindly
as 1 can. What you ask me to do l
am asked to do so often as one-half
dozen times a week. Three hundred
letters a year! Ones impulse is to
freely consent, but ones time and
necessary occupations will not permit
it. There is no way to decline in all
cases, making no exceptions, and l
wish to call your attention to thing
which has probably not occurred to
you, and that is this: That no man
takes pleasure in exercising his trade
as a pastime. Writing is my trade, and
l exercise it only when am obliG ed to.
You might make your request of q
doctor, or builder, or a sculptor, and
there would be no impropriety in it,
but if you asked either for specimen
of his trade, his handiwork, he would
be justified in rising to point of order.
1t would never be fair to ask a doctor
for one of his corpses to remember him
by"
And all this the humorist wrote on
the typewriter, signing his name. The
autograph collectors feelings may be
imagined. Boston Journal.

Missionaries in Africa.

Stanley expresses much admiration
for the heroic stuff found in many
missionaries to Africa. Speaking of
the hold Christianity has got in
Mwanga's kingdom, in central Africa,
he says: Il take this powerful body
of native Christians who prefer exile
for the sake of their faith to serving a
monarch Indifferent or hostile to their
faith as more substantial evidence of
the work of Missionary Mackey than
any number of imposing structures
clustered together and called mission
station would be. These native
Africans have endured the most deadly
prosecutions. Staunch in their beliefs,
firm in their convictions, they have
and Mackay and AslIo may point to
these with righteous pride as the re-
suits of their labors to the good, kindly
people at home who trusted in them.

personally. Well, he is Il Scotchman

why they succeed oftener than other
people? Take Moffat. Livingstone.
and Mackay-real Scotchmen with the
burr. They stand pre-eminent above
all other missionaries no matter of
what nationality. 1t is not because
they are Scotchmen that they succeed.
1t is not because they are better men in
any one way OF the other-physically,
mentally, or morally-of that we may
rest assured; but it is because they
have been more educated in one thing
than all others. While l say this [ re-

An Electrically Fed Horse.

Electrical Expert Wheeler, of New
York, was telling a story to party of
acquaintance about what he called an
electrically fed horse.n A citizen of
a Western town, of an inventive turn
of mind, concluded that it involved too
much labor on his part to rise early
every cold morning and trot out to
the barn to feed the family horse. So
he purchased two tons of oats, had
them placed in bin over the horses
stall and connected the manger and
the bin by means of a chute termi-
mating in a hopper. To the hopper he
attached valve controlled by cleo
operated, a single feed of oats would
run into the manger. He ran his
wire into the kitchen and connected
them with push button. The family
were charmed with the arrangement,
and quite envied him the pleasure of
feeding the family pet. After a few
days peculiar noises began to issue
from the barn, and upon Investigating,
poor Pegasus was found to be fairly
swimming in two tons of Al oats. He
was dug out and the valve which
worked so well was consigned to OBJ
hvion.
Mr. Wheeler told this little yarn to
illustrate the fact that almost every
body of an inventive turn of mind is
experimenting in electricity. The re-
suits achieved by some are quite valu-
able but the majority of the inventors
have only pain for their trouble.
electricity is like a vicious mule"
said he. 1T is dangerous to handle,
and the mishaps of these would-be in
ventors are numerous and in some
cases fatal. Most of them are of a
ludicrous nature, like the electrically
fed horse. The profession offers great
inducements to the rising Young men
of the generation, though it is COM
paratiyely a new field for brains and
industry. IN 7. San.
