CONNIE lie jour me dure

"She may ere long know by expert
ence what the poet sung" he thought,
lost in contemplation of this youthful
form, There was something so touch
ing, so original, so almost childlike in
her whole personality, in the expression
of her face, that it seemed impossible
for the waves of passion to ever break
at her feet. And yet what blessedness
to awaken this heart to love!
They had reached the strawberry
bed-a mass of glowing red among
green leaves. Desiree gave little cry
of delight. She was again Papillon.
"What an abundance ripened over
night! The picking will be easy. You
may help" she cried, reaching him the
basket. 81 fear you will not show
much skill. Do you really know how
to tell the ripe berries from the green
ones?"
He laughed and took the basket.
Desiree began to pick hastily. For a
few moments he tried to help; then he
set the basket on the ground near her,
and sprang over the bed to the bench
beneath the old linden.
"Pleasc excuse me from berry-plck-
ing, Let me atone for my awkward
ness by reading to you. 1 have Lam
artine in my pocket"
THAT would be beautiful, but feal
l can do nothing but listen"
Hilmar, where are youP Hav'
you forgotten our engagement" called
the doctors voice from the terrace, ant
directly after his quick, firm step wa
heard approaching. II am waiting TO
you," he said, impatiently, with an un
easy side-glance at Desiree.
Hilmar sprang up.
II beg your PARDON" he answered
with some bewilderment, slipping tn
book into his pocket. 81 was going t
tighten Desiree's task by reading fror
Lamartine's poems. May have tina

RAIN TO ORDER.
Balloons Inflated With Hydrogen Gas
Exploded at High Attitudes.

Balloons Inflated With Hydrogen Gas
Exploded at High Attitudes
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Some interest
ing experiments were made near this city
during the day in the way-of carrying
out the provisions Of the Agricultural
Appropriation bill to ascertain the posi-
bility of producing rain in the arid re-
gions.
Professor Dyhrenfurth, as special agent
of the Agricultural Department, exploded
at high altitude several balloons in
flated with hydrogen gas. The concus-
sions were of great sforce, the first bal
loon being exploded at height of 500
feet.
The balloons were held by wires and
when they reached a certain height a
battery was applied, which fred fuses in
the neck of the balloon and exploded
the gas. 1t is the first time that hydro
gen gas has ever been manufactured in
any quantity.
The object of the experiments to-day
was to determine the availability of the
apparatus, both for manufacturing gas
and exploding it. The machinery Is still
crude and imperfect, but its success is
assured. Whether the purpose for which
it was designed-that of causing rain
remains to be demonstrated.

As IN VISION.

If were told that must die tomorrow
That the next
Which sinks should bear me past all fear and
sorrow
For any one,
All the fight fought and all the Journey thro'.
What should I do?
1 do not think that I should shrink or falter,
But just go
Doing my work, nor change, nor seek to alter
Aught that is gone;
But rise and move, and love, and smile, and
For one more day.
And, living down at night for last sleeping,
Say in that ear
Which hearkens ever, Lord within thy keep
How should l fear?
And when tomorrow brings thee.neare1 Ut i'll,
Do thou thy will 2"
1 might not sleep for awe; but peaceful, ten
My soul would lie
All the night long; and, when the mornin G
splendor
Flashed DER the sky,
1 think that could smile, could calmly say,
1T is His day.
But if a wondrous hand from the blue yonder
Held out a scroll
On which my life was writ, and 1 with won
der
Beheld unroI1
To a long centurys end its mystic clew,
What should I do?
What could do, blessed Guide and Mas
Other than this,
Still to go on as now, not slower, faster,
Nor fear to miss
The road, although so very long it be,
While led by thee?
Step by step, feeling thou art close beside me,
Although unseen;
Through thorns, through flowers, whether
tempest hide thee
Or heavens serene;
Assured thy faithfulness cannot betray,
Nor love decay.
1 may not know, my God no hand revealeth
Thy counsels wise;
Along the path deepening shadow stea1eth;
No voice replies
To all my questioning thoughts, the time to
tell;
And it is well.
Let me keep on abiding and unfearing
Thy will always,
Through long century's ripe fruition
Or a short days.
Thou canst not come too soon; and 1 can
If thou come late.

JOHNNIE CRUM ON SUNDA y
SCHOOLS.

Johnnie says he is going on to
nine years DID," and being asked by
his teacher to write a piece" on the
Benefits of Sunday-schools, gave his
views as follows:
Benneyfit 1. Sunday SCHOOLS is a
CRATE Benneyht to childrens fathers
and mothers. 1t gives EN- peece and
happiness. Every Sunday mornin
my Pa and Ma gets up late coz Pa
is always tired Sundays. After
breakfast Pa always says, come,
hussel round children and go to Sun
day School, for Pa is tired and wants
little peece and rest Sundays. Then
Pa goes and lays down on the sofy
and smokes and reads the papers all
the forenoon. Ma she sees to gettin
dinner, for Pa says he must have a
good dinner on Sundays anyway.
Ma has to take care of the baby two,
fer the hired girl is a cathlick and
says she won't stay home from
Church fer nobody, and Ma bein a
protestan has to mind her.
Benneyft 2. Sunday SCHOOLS save
childrens Pas and Mas from going to
Church. One day the minister was
up to our house and he told Pa and
Ma they ort to go to Church. And
Pa says. o, l always send all my
children to Sunday School, and guess
that will have to do. And so Ma
and Pa don't go to Church but Ma
says she would like to.
Bennevfit 8. Sunday Sex ools saves
ch1ldrens payments a good deal of
money. When the minister told Pa
he ort to help pay the Church ex-
penses. Pa said o l give my chill
dren a nickle a peece every Sunday
to take to Sunday School. But the
minister said, yes, but the children
gets it all back again in Cards and
books and Picknicks and Krismas
trees. And Pa said well it is all lean
afford.
Benneyht f. Sunday School saves
the big boys and girls from going to
Church. When the boys get big
enuff to smoke and to not mind
their Pas, then they stop going to
Sunday School. Only they 60 to
Church some mites when the girls go
along, and then they all set in back
seats and chew gum. My Pa told
Jim my big brother that he ort to go
to Church reglar. But Jim said there
amt no need Of my going more'n
there is of your going. 1 have as
much rite to stay at home as you
have. But Pa said he was tired on
Sundays. Pa keeps store, but
every day he says times is so hard
he don't sell much and don't have
much to do.
Benneyht 5. Sunday SCHOOLS do a
great deel of good to children. If it
warnt for them they wouldn't know
nothing. Fer their Payments haint
got no time to teech en- Children
learn songs and verses and things.
If they go reglar and don't miss they
get big pay fer learning to be good.
But when 1 am little bigger am
going to do as Pa does and stay at
home Sundays, and smoke and read
the papers and have some of Mas
big dinners, Ma gets awfully tired
to all the time, and would like to
have little rest. But then Ma is a
woman, and Pa says it is her duty
to be tired. I'm glad l amt a
woman.
Benneyht 6. THERE'S great many
more benneyflts to Sunday SCHOOLS
but don't know any more Young
Churchman.
