A FACE.

Imet face today in the crowded city street,
And cannot get il out Of my heart-it was SO
sweet.
Not that the curves were faultiess. nor the col
oring pink and white
Not that the eyes were like the eyes OF which
men love TO write:
Not that the brow was finely shaped, or beau
tiful the hair,
But, oh, for the gentleness that dwelt like the
smile OF angels there.
That tender light in the steady eyes-it fingers
with me yet
Those calm, true eyes, fall or, Know. with
tears of sorrow wet:
That tender mouth. so wonanly in its gentle.
sweet reposc:
That faint pink tint in her pale. thin face
Like the flush Of n sweet wild rose.
Pure as a lily know she is, FOR into ms soul
there came
As passed her by in the crowded street sud
den leaping flame,
A quickcned honor for wOmanhoUd- IL rever-
encc deep and strong
And my world worn srt with its heavy cares
grew light and full OF song.
And ever since then through the passing hours,
and now in the solemn night,
That pure, truo face, with its womanly eyes, is
making my sad life bright.
And ever since then there's peace within and
a new found JOY complete
God bless the woman met today in the crowd

Libby Prison as an Investment.

The gentleman who alone and un-
aided, except for sundry hard Ameri-
can dollars, captured Libby prison
and transported it bodily to Chicago
is w. II. Gray.
According to Mr.. Gray's figures
the Libby enterprise cost the com
pany a round $1O0,OOO In the first
instance, S23, 300 was paid for the
building as it stood in Richmond.
Then came the cost Of taking 1t
down and transportation to Chicago
no small item, since it filled rs
cars and cost $4,000 freightage.
Then came the rebuilding, with the
incest care to having the Chicago
version an exact reproduction of the
original. and then a handsome wall
was built around the whole struc-
ture.
But it was paying investment,
said Mr.. Gray, with a satisfied smile.

ThackeraY,s Head.

Thackeray, like most Anglo-Indian
infants, was sent, when he was about
five years of age, to the mother coun-
try for mental and physical nourish-
ment. An aunt with whom he lived
discovered the child one morning
parading about in his uncle's hat,
which exactly fitted him. Fearing
some abnormal and dangerous de
yelopment of the brain, she carried
him at once TO a famous physician of
the day, who is reported to have
said, Don't be afraid, madam; he
has large head, but there's a good
deal in itr His brain, when he died

Mourning Colors.

Ecclesiastical colors include all the
primary colors and black and white,
which are used at various church Offices.
The cardinals of the Roman church have
adopted scarlet as their color, which
was originally red. In ancient Rome
the occupation and rank of many people
were made known by the colors Of the
garments which they wore. Black is
in common use among us for mourning,
but the Chinese wear white, the Turks
wear violet. and in Ethiopia brown is the
proper hue.
White was originally the mourning
color in some European countries, but
black is generally accepted now. Diff
ferent colors have frequently been
adopted by opposing parties, and the
colors of various nations are incorporated
in their flags, for instance the ''red,
white and blue" of the United States

How Photography Has Come 70 the AID
Of the Enth usfastic Astronomer.
The Boston Scientific society has held
meeting Of unusual interest, at which
s. c. Chandler, the eminent astronomer.
gave the first public presentation Of the
remarkable work now being done by
Max Wolf at Heidelberg.
He said: ssThe position Of asteroids in
astronomical science is a peculiar, and
might say practically useless one, so
far as tangible results from their dis
covery are concerned. The discovery of
q new comet is matter of great impor-
tance, and the increase in their number
contributes much to the knowledge Of
the science, but with asteroids, they
must be found in large numbers before
they become of especial significance,
and in that event it has always been q
debated question whether the immense
amount of labor required in keeping
track of them and performing the neces-
sary computation is really worth the
while when the actual results obtained
are so small
"There are known to exist by the thou
sands and tens of thousands down to
the size of an ordinary rock, and to col
late and preserve the knowledge OBJ
tanned of them as fast as discovered has
been difficulty well nigh insurmounta-
BILE.
.'But the development of photography
in connection with telescopy has seemed
to open up an opportunity for accom-
plishing something in this line. If GER
tain whole strips of the heavens could
be tracked and record kept of the OBJ
servations, q long step would be taken
in solving this problem. Apropos Of
this matter, young Max Wolf, of Heidel-
berg, has been making some very unique
discoveries.
"He uses small telescope of 6-inch
aperture, and has devised piece of
mechanism by which he can not only
follow the heavens for number of
hours together, but can put away the
plate, take it the next night and con-
tinue the record consecutively from the
point where he left off. This continual
exposure of the same glass night after
night has hitherto been regarded as i'm
possible, and Wolf was scoffed at when
he attempted it, but he has succeeded
nevertheless. By this process he has
been enabled to discover asteroids by
observing their motions.
Moreover, he does not use clockwork.
His plates are exposed, and he keeps his
instrument fixed for hours together on q
given point by means of subsidiary
telescope. In this way he has discov-
cred seven new asteroids and found be-
tween thirty and forty old ones, and
thinks also that he has discovered new
comet, though that has not been fully
demonstrated as yet.
HE has also discovered the tracks Of
meteors and has found succession OF
variations of their light by means Of
duplicate impressions with different tel
escopes, recording five or six distinct
oscillations in brightness. His duplicate
impressions agree perfectly. Wolf is
now trying to find the companion of Al
gol. boston Advertiser.

A Bear Climbing a Tree.

Even professional taddermists somes
times make blunders in their work. A
funny instance of lack of thought by an
animal suffer is to be seen in a show
window Of a Broadway cloakmaker,
where there is dead polar bear in the
act of climbing tree.
Thousands of persons pass that bear
every day, and it is safe to say that not
one in million ever sees how untrue to
nature it is for polar bear to climb a
tree.
There aren't any trees in the polar re-
gions where the white bear comes from.
Perhaps the bears would learn to climb
them if there were.-New York Herald.

schools and the Freneh ARMY.

The total expenditure for normal
schools in France was, in 1872, near
$11, 900, 900; at present it is upward of
$25, 900, 600, or an increase of 127 per
cent. The French republic has spent
and is still spending untold millions
upon the army and navy. But on &C
count of that it does not forget the
school. And without a doubt the re-
publican school will outlive the repub-
lican army and be blessing to all gen.

LOWELL AS A SOCIALIST.
He Ranked in His Ethical Views With the
Modern Idealists.

ne Isdnkeu IN Ills C'hicai views Win TN q
Modern Idealists.
'tJames Russell Lowell was a Socialist in
the broader sense only of that elastic term
the sense in which it may be applied to
every man who feels acutely the wrongs
suffered by the poor, and has formed for
himself high ideal of human equality and
brotherhood" says Edward Grubb in the
July NeC England Magazine "He was a
Socialist after the type of Isaiah and the
Hebrew prophets, and stands in our own
times alongside such idealists as Rousseau,
Mazzini and Ruskin. He was not, any
more than these, Socialist in the sense
of advocating any cut-and-dried politi-
cal system, or any special scheme
of social or industrial organization. His
socialism consists in his strong grasp
of the conception of the worth of man as
man, and his fearless denunciation of the
false standards that men conventionally ap-
ply; the selfish customs and traditions that
lead them to honor the strong while despis-
ing the weak, and to attach more impor-
tance to wealth and outward show than to
the development of true manhood
''The poems in which this quality is most
apparent date from the years between 1910
and 1850, which was time OF great social
awakening throughout the civilized world;
the new ideals of Robert Owen in England,
and Saint Simon and Fourier in France had
begun to work upon the public mind
