A Statue of Jupiter OLYMPUS.

There is a difference of opinion as to
which of the seven wonders of the world
deserves the title of the "most magnifi-
cent" and as the majority Of these won
ders have disappeared it is somewhat
difficult to arrive at a true decision. The
evidence appears, however, to be pretty
fairly balanced between the gold and
ivory statue of Jupiter Olympus and the
Temple of Diana, at Ephesus. The sta
tue of Jupiter was the work of Phidias,
a celebrated Athenian sculptor; it stood
sixty feet high and it is sand to have ex-
hibited a marvellous representation Of
the grandeur, state and dignity which
are naturally associated with human
ideas of the awful majesty of the "king
of gods and men, indeed, according to
ar ancient Greek epigram, it seemed
that either Phidias had assembled to
heaven to sketch Jupiter, or Jupiter had
descended to earth to sit to Phidias.
The god was clad in a robe of solid
gold, garnished with lilies and other
flowers, and four golden lions supported
his footstool. The throne was Of cedar,
inlaid with ebony, gold, ivory and pre-
cious stones, with sculptured representa-
tons of the destruction of Niobe's chill
dren, the contests of Hercules and other
exploits of the heroic age; at the back
of the throne were the Hours and the
Graces; at each corner a figure of Vic
tory danced upon a Sphinx, who was
tearing a Theban youth. The almost
superhuman magnificence of this great
work dazzled all succeeding artists,
threw them into despair and absolutely
set at defiance all competition.-Brook
Ign Eagle.

Keene's Pipes.

A good deal has been written in vari-
Gus quarters with regard to the little
Elizabethan pipes in which the late
Charles Keene took such great delight.
[ cannot help thinking that the persist
ent smoking of these pipes must have
done no little injury to his health. The
pipes were SO short, they became SO
charged with nicotine and he SO persist
emily smoked them at every opportunity
that | cannot help thinking he must
have absorbed a large amount Of poison
into his system.
No one, unless he had smoked one Of
Keene's pipes, could have the least idea
of its strength. remember trying one
at his studio III evening, and though a
pretty tough tobbaconaian | shall never
forget how my head was affected and
all the pains | endured in consequence.
l had all the symptoms of suffering
from the effects of a powerful narcotic

An Apparent Impossibility.

The phrase "~squaring the circle is an
other way of saying attempting an i'm
possibility" The allusion is to the
mathematical question whether a circle
can be made which contains exactly the
same area as a square, and the difficulty
is to find the precise ratio between the
diameter and the circumference Of a
circle. Popularity it is 3.1459, etc, but
the numbers would go on to infinity.
This problem has givenrise to a amount
of labor only equaled by that bestowed
upon the equally impossible one of dis
covering perpetual motion.-Brooklyn

Astronomy of the Ancient Egyptians.


We find in the table at the Ramesseum
distinct references to the bull, the lion
and the scorpion, and it is also clearly
indicated that at that time the star
Sirius rose h~eliacally at the beginning
of the rise of the Nile.
The word heliacally requires a little
explanation. The ancients, who had no
telescopes and had TO use their horizon
as the only scientific instrument which
they possessed, were very careful in deter
mining the various conditions in which
a star could rise. For instance, if a star
were rising at the same time as the sun
was rising, it was said to rise cOSmically,
but unless certain very obvious precau-
tons were taken the rising star would
not be seen III consequence of the pres
ence of daylight. 1t is quite clear that
if we observe a star rising In the dawn
it will get more and more difficult to
observe the nearer the time of sunrise is
approached.
Therefore, what the ancients did was
to determine a time before sunrise in the
early dawn at which the star could be
very obviously and clearly seen to rise.
The term ''heliacal rising" was coined to
represent a star rising visibly in the
dawn, therefore, before the sun. Gen
orally throughout Egypt the sun was
supposed to be something like ten de-
grees below the horizon when a star was
stated to rise acknowledgements

When Money Was Plenty

There is a class of men, particularly
in the western country, who get into the
habit of stretching the truth of incidents
which occurred in their pioneer days un-
til they become to believe them as facts.
One Of the most scientific of these is Jim
Hawthorne, whose home now is near
White Pine, Gunnison county. Here is
one of Jim's stories: me and my pard-
ner," he observed, "made more money
in them days than we knew what to do
with. For instance, when we had that
big government contract for wood we
was rollin in money. Money was COM
moner than chipmunks, and it wasn't
much good to us neither, cause we didn't
have no stores to spend it at. That con-
tract was for 80, 900 cords of wood. We
got 1915 a cord, and we made money
very easy" "What was the government
doing with so much wood?" "Well, |
don't know. Some of it was used by
the Indians. The government just had
it left 9~ound handy for clambakes."
"Clambakes?" why, cert; clambakes
were very common in them days on the
Platte" 'Did you deliver the full CON
tract!" "No. We kind Of let up after
we had delivered 40, 1000 cords. We didn't
want to bust the government. l just
tell this to show you how plenty money
was in them days."-Colorado Sun.

L Quarters Worth.

Not long ago | was in a New York
store buying cloth for a new cloak
when a tall and elegantly dressed lady
entered and asked TO see some lOakings.
She told the clerk she wished to match
a cloak and had no sample. but she
thought she'd know the stuff when she
saw it. That poor clerk pulled down
roll upon roll of goods for her inspec-
ton, and at length she found what she
wished.
.'How much a yard is that she in
quired.
Five dollars, madam" he replied.
Very we'll; | don't wish much-just
enough TO finish a cuff on my cloak.
Let me see-fve dollars-I think a guar
ter's worth will be plenty"
The clerk fumbled in his pocket a mo-
ment, produced a quarter, put it on the
cloth and cut out exactly the size OF the
quarter, and before the astonished WON
an could say a word he put her quarter
with the piece of cloth and sent it 10 the
desk. She waited for the basket to re-
turn and then quickly left the store.
The clerk spoiled the cloth, but he
still has his place.-New York Recorder.

LET THE GRASS GROW.

Let the grass grow over your graves of sorrow
and sin and care;
Let the grass grow over your saddened shame
and your misery of despair;
Let the grass grow over your long nursed woe
and the fear of that awful doubt:
Let the grass grow over the sin and the hate
that brought the trouble about.
Let the flowers grow over your grave OF folly
and crime and fears:
Let the flowers cover the CHASTITY past with its
beauty Of better years;
Let the flowers cover the awful plan of venge-
ance and thought of wrong;
Let the flowers grow, let vengeance stay where
vengeance doth rightly belong.
Let darkness cover your grave, let the soft
years murmur b.;
Let repentance break tneir loneliness with the
sad and bitter cry;
Let affection Irvine, and the virtues bloom
and cover the naked sod;
Let the grass grow over the grave, my child,
and leave it alone with God!

Suicides I'm European Armies.

The Austrian army takes the lead in
the matter of suicides. From 1875 10
1887 a yearly average of 122 suicides is
recorded for every 1905 600 effective
troops. In 1889 the number was 149.
Death by suicide represents a fifth part
of the whole mortality Of the Austrian
army. No disease is more deadly. The
Germans report about half the number;
the Italian army about one-third; the
French army about one-fourth; the Eng
lish army in the home service about one
sixth; the rate in the Russian army is
nearly the same, while in the Spanish
army it is least of all.
There are some curious facts about
these suicides. In the European armies,
especially in Austria, it is the young SOL
diers who kill themselves during the
first month of their service. Suicides
are the most frequent among the cavalry
and infantry, and in the latter among
the soldiers who are accused and await
ing trial.
The most frequent methodi is shooting,
though hanging and drowning are fire.
quent methods. The infantry use fire.
arms and usually aim at their heads.
The mounted soldiers hang themselves
by their horse brides. The Algerian
soldiers almost always shoot themselves
through the body, perhaps because the
Arabs think it is infamous to mutilate
the head. In Austria a third of the sui
cides are attributed to a distaste for
military duty; in France, love trouble
is a frequent cause; the fear of punish
ment is everywhere a great incentive.
The maximum of suicides is reached in
the hottest weather, and the minimum
is reached in the coolest weather.-Bos-
ton Herald.

It has sometimes happened that per-

have reaped the harvests which misers
have painfully own The life of Van

of a small glass of our wine on Satur-
