Monsters with Many Horns.

Many of the giant reptiles of long
ago had enormous horns. The great
lizard known as the triceratops had
a big horn over each eye and little
one on it's nose. The dinoceras and
tinoceras, gigantic mammals of the
tertiary epoch, had three pairs of
prominences on their heads which
are believed to have supported horns.
However, the material of which
horn is composed quickly decays,
being largely formed of gelatine
and other animal matter, so that
these appendages are apt to be found
absent when the fossil bones of beasts
which had them are found. Inter
view in Washington Star.

at the dullest half hour of all the
eternities. Come On There is some
thing in the celestial appearance
which makes me think that the half
hour of silence will soon be over.
Yonder are the white horses being
hitched to chariots and yonder are
seraphs lingering harps as if about
to strike them into harmony, and
yonder are conquerors taking down
from the blue halls of heaven the
trumpets of victory.
Remember, we are mortal yet, and
cannot endure the full roll of heaven
ly harmOnieS and cannot endure even
the silent heaven for more than half
an hour Hank the clock in the
tower of heaven begins to strike and
the half hour is ended Descend
Come back! Come down. till your
work is done Shoulder little longer
your burdens. Fight little longer
your battles. Weep q little longer
your griefS. And then take heaven,
not in it's dullest half hour, but in its
mightiest pomp, and instead of tax
ing it for thirty minutes, take it
world without end
YOUR FIRST HALF HOUR
But how will you spend the first
half hour of your heavenly citizen
ship after you have gone in to stage
After your prostration before the
throne in worship of him who made
it possible for you to get there at all,
think the rest of your first half
hour in heaven will be passed in re
ceiving your reward if you have been
faithful. | have a strangely beauti-

the medals struck by the English
government in honor of great bat

heart of the returned heroes of the
army on great occasions. the royal
family present-the Crimean medal,
the Victoria Cross, the Waterloo
medal
In your first half hour in heaven
in some way you will be honored
for the earthly struggles in which
you won the day. Stand up before
all the royal house of heaven and re
ceive the insignia while you are an
nOunced as victor over the droughts
and freshets of the farm field, victor

And seize it with their eye.

One day the boys was sittin' down to dine,
When tearin' down the line
There came an aid bringin' the news

Our leader bold, would take 'er.
He had in hand the coffee pot,
An the contents was bilin' hot
Like as not
1t was an accident,
But the boys said it was intent,
Leastwise the coffee went
His hand was shaky-into his boot,
An scalded his left foot.
An so he missed the pesky rifle ball,
Because he wasn't in the fight at all.
We didn't spill our coffee that away,
But drank, and boldly met the bows in gray.
But from that day,
Clean down TO Ninety-one,
