VlSHTASPA

For thirty years Vishtaspa reigned alone,
No King above him in the empty skies,
No Lord of all earth's fallen sovereignties
To mark the mighty tedium of his throne.
To him the secrets Of the stars were known.
He was above all sages great and wise;
Yet as the years dragged on without surprise
He wearied of this world that was his own.
Earth is too narrow for the dreaming soul,
Aye, though she hold it all from pole to pole,
Her least desire is wider than the whole.
Therefore who knows the limit of his power
Disdains the trivial baubles of an hour.
And plunges where the seas of silence roll.
Life is dream" Vishtaspa said, wherein
The dreamer lives alone, the rest is vain.
My dream shall end, for would sleep again"
He went his palace terraces TO win.
Farewell" he said, glitter and glare and din:
Farewell! | cast me to the quiet plain"
But as he would have leapt, a voice spoke
plain,
mortal, thy Master saith, thou shalt not sn!'
Lo, at his side, unguessed, Zoroaster trod;
Oh, sudden peace of heart, oh, deep delight
OF souls outgrown religions earlier rite,
Yet spent and thirsting for the springs of God,
When the undreamed of prophet deigns u APP
pear!
Vishtaspa reigned in rapture many year.

How many people know that over 4,40t
British seamen are lost at sea every year
that over $50 human lives are lost OF
American vessels during the same period
and that six vessels are wrecked or los
every day in the year? Yet carefully pre-
pared statistics prove that these figures
appalling though they are, truthfully
represent the mortality in the merchan;
marine. The British board of trade state
some years ago that the calling of British
sailor was more hazardous than that OF
any other in which Englishmen were en-
gagged. Data is not obtainable to prove
that this is also true of the American mer
chant marine, but students of the subject
do not doubt that it would apply.-Provi

A Use for Peat BnRs.

DR.. Leo Pribyl states that the Germans
and Swedes are utilizing their peat boys in
the manufacture of naphtha, tar, solar oil,
paraffin, acetic acid and gas, and the peat
dust, is employed for weaving into carpets.
Good peat also furnishes a cellulose which
is valuable to paper makers. Besides serv
ing as a wholesome litter for live stock il
is also used to preserve perishable goods,

Producing Artificial Aurora.

The phenomenon of the aurora borealis
is very rare in this latitude, although COM
mon further north, and is supposed to be
due to the highly electrified condition of
the atmosphere. This theory has been
substantiated by an interesting series of
experiments undertaken by two Swedish
tronomers-Lemstrom and Tromholt.
By means of network of electric currents
between two mountains they succeeded in
producing several artificial auroras.-Bal-

THE TARIFF AND ENGLAND,

ed, both in London and the interior
counties OF the old country, in the

anxiety expressed in every quarter
for the success Of Cleveland is ex.

trade and give the English manufac-
,urer a chance to regain his lost foot

IT has been figured out by a con-
trlbutor to current literature, assum-
ing that the Federal party through
the National Republican and Wing
parties, was the progenitor of the
Republican party, that the Repnbli-
can party has been in power % years
and that the Democratic party, trac-
ing It back to the Jcffersonian Re-
publican organization, has also been
in power 80 years. Thus it appears
from the close of Washington's term
to the close of IIarrison's term the
people have distributed the political
prizes equally between the two great
