MEMORY.

OH what world OF wealth is memory rare,
For with 1t DER life's feeting hours we cast;
And view bygones our brightest hours and fair,
And link old age with youth and joy that's passed.
Oh! consolstor to life's waning year,
How fondly hast thou garnered in those hours;
Which lows u.s. though In yellow leaf and sere,
To sit with fancy in youths sunny bowers.
All, yes this world would bleak and dreary be-
II pleasures past could ne'er again be felt;
If on the journey DER lfes troubled sea,
No thought OF youth the longing soul to melt,
No thought OF home of mother true and dear,
Ofplaymates who have crossed LIES solemn main
or her, dear Liz, whose form seems ever near.
Though gone, and with the silent dead is lain.
But no fond memory ever haunts the scene,
And treads the path where first viewed her face,
Along the ripping stream that skirts the green,
The shady nook she'll ever fondy trace.
And from her casket memory will unfold
The image OF her cheeks, her hair OF sunny hue,
Her form OF perfect and exquisite mould,
Her laughing eye that sparkied like the dew.
Though cruel fate and Heavens dread decree
Calls from our sight loved ones we cherished dear,
Yet consultations balm is memory,
Which heals The wound aud has them ever near.

Translated from the French of Alfred de Musset.
Remember when tmid dawn
Opes to the sun her palace door;
Remember me when pensiye night
Wells in silver the woods and shore:
When thy heart is throb0ng to pleasures appeal;
When fair dreams of evening around thee do steal.
Murmurs a voice which calls to thee
From the groves shady mystery
Remember me! Remember mel
Remember me when fate's stern hand
Shall coldIy tear two apart;
When grief and exile and the years
Have withered my despairing heart.
Let my love and my last adieu this to thee prove,
That time and that absence are nothing TO love.
While my heart has memory
1t will cry TO thee
Remember me! Remember mel
Remember me when meath the earth
My broken heart shall calmly sleep;
Remember me when DER my grave
The flowers shall brightly bloom and weep.
We meet no more-but will come in Immortality

Close to thee oft, beloved one
Thou shalt not see-and own thee mine.
Snrouded In nights mystery,

Interest in the Art Is Rapidly Extending.
Some Actresses and Society Women Who

Strength is the fashion of the day among
womankind. In. the revival of athletics
among women fencing has not kept pace
with lawn-tennis, horseback or bicycle rid
ing, but it easily holds the fourth place in
the list Of sports. The women who fence
gain in agility. grace and health-results
which guarantee perDetuation of the sport
in its present place in feminine favor.
Women do not always practice the art
from inclination alone. In the schools where
they are prepared for dramatic and operate
careers fencing is one of the regular course
studies. Proficiency in it imparts supple
mess to the limbs and graceful carriage,
two essentials for success in the profess
sional life.
OF those who practice fencing as one of
the essentials to a career on the operate
stage, the greatest number are students at

MUSIC THAT IS
MADE VISIBLE.
A Curious Result That Modern Science
Has Brought to Light.
The Shape of Flowers, Trees, Landscapes, Etc,
Formed by Musical Sounds-Eow the
Experiments Are Conducted

Scarcely day passes but something new
is brought out for the purpose, evidently. to
disprove the assertion of solomon that there
was nothing new under the sun. Among
the interesting results that modern science
has brought to light, says writer in the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch, is the discovery that
musical sounds are visible and adopt certain
forms as precisely and accurately as the
magnet records the movements of the cleo
trio fluid which issues from the battery To
our imagination a sound represents vision
airy; unsubstantial object, so that its real
nature has for long time remained secret
to the Investigations of the scientists, and it
is no wonder that its nature has been en-
tirely unknown up to the present time. But
when we picture to ourselves the composite
elements of sound ii is not surprising to
find that 1t can assume certain forms, i. e.,
produce them.

THE NORTH WIND.

There's war OF waves omthe Arctic shore.
The icebergs tumble In glee,
And crash and roar comes booming on DER
The foe-erested, green polar sea-
The sky Is black; the moons dim light
The sleet dashes out with its mantle tonight
And the north wind yeers TO the distant south
The frozen breath from the Storm Kings mouth.
Mighty and swift and free.
And away 1t hurrles with whistle and Shrek,
Up up to the higher air,
And it skins the peak Of the mountain bleak.
And plows his white sides bare
1t hows through the gorge, 1t shouts the Plain
And whiTs through the forest the dread hurricane;
The thick trnnks are started rock and groan,
And the twisted branches swing with moan,
And erackie and sway in despair.
IT'S out of the woods and into the night.
1t is lost bat speeds along
Like an imp with alright. it holds its mad fight,
And wblnes to the clouds with Its song
The vapors scattered aud crowd DER the earth.
Where the pIowman is startled as he sits at his
hearth,
And the valleys resound with the noise OF the blast
That howls through the fields and the brown cottage
past,
The aerial giant strong.
In the flood of the moon city is sleeping;
The midnight stiffness holds;
But quickly sweeping the fierce gale leaping,
And the din of the norther unfods
Down DER the pavements, up mid the spires
III circles, shrlll crying, IKE myriad OF Tyres;
1t the watch dog and saps the loose shutters
And wheedles and croons round the caves and the
cutters.
Then off through the highway bowls.
Where the sands are splashed with the blue curling
waves,
Where stretches the white beach bare.
Midst the cliffs and the the chill wanderer
raves.
And the ocean growis from his lair.
And he from sumber, with his broad heavlng
breast,
AS he feels tie wild zephyr swift kissing his crest
IT'S the meeting OF clements grand and sublime,
OF the king OF the waters, sole monarch OF time.
And the north wind, the prince of the air.

of the other. An arabesque composed OF
small rings on the left side OF the plate
would be accurately repeated on the right
side. A fantastic design in one corner could
not exist without its counterpart in the
other. Rings, curves, lines, stars, circles
were there in various symmetrical pairs.
These experiments proved the truth Of the
theory that sounds can assume shape, and
that as the sounds vary in volume and
height the forms also change.
a further progress was made in this direc-
ton through tire investigations made by an
English woman, Miss Watts Hughes, who
discovered that the sound of the human
voice left form impressions upon soft,
plastic mass, and that these forms have
great similarity with Chladnfs figures. This
English lady intended to become a public
singer, but was compelled. by falling health,
to fOregO her career, and therefore devoted
her time to theoretical Investigations. She
conducted her experiments in about the fol-
lowing manner: Over a protuberant vessel
an elastic membrane is stretched, the sur
face of which is covered with light dough of
such condition that it receives expressions
easily. The singer places herself before
this impIovised apparatus and sings note,
which must be held accurately against the
membrane. At that moment the surface of
the dough shows the most wonderful forms,
similar to those which we have endeavored
TO reproduce in our illustrations.

outlined, occur frequently, for symmetri-
cally formed designs are no rarity. The

ticle is an ex-pupil of this school, Miss Olive
Gates, now in professional life with Dem

Roses red and roses rare
Scent the bamy evening air,
But none can with my love compare.
Sweeter is she, oh, by far
Than the dewy roses are,
Purer than heavens fairest star.
Her curling locks OF brightest gold
Around her snowy brow are rolled'
Her charms by words cannot be told.
How sweetly doth the loye-light shine
In those radiant eyes divine
AS she lifts them up to mine.
What mission pure do they fulfill.
My hearts wild beating do they still.
And all my soul with rapture thrill,
Whenever my loved one doth appear,
Her voice so tender. low and clear,
Makes sweetest music In mine ear.

With heavens own light in her dear eyes,
she's sent to me from Paradise.

After the sound has left the impression of
