THE HARvEsr.Moor.


Over fields that are ripe with the sweetness
Tha; hides in the iull-tasselled corn,
Over vineyards slow reaching completeness,
Din purpling at dusk and at morn,
Shine down IN thy affiuent splendor,
o moon ofthe year in her prime;
Beam soft. mother-hearted, and tender;
Earth hath not holier time.
For the seed that slept long in the furrow
Hath wakencd TO life and TO death,
From the grave that was cerement and bur
row
Hath risen TO passionate breath.
II hath laughed In the sunlight and star
light.
Hath thrilled TO the breeze and the dew.
And fallen, 20 stir in some far night,
And all the Old gladness renew.
moon OF the harvcst's rich glory,
Thy banners cutname in the sky,
And under thee men write the story
That cries TO the heavens for reply
The story OF work and endeavor.
ofburdcn and weakness and strength,
The story that goes on forever.
Through centuries dragging its length.
And thou, ever stately and golden.
Thou moon Of the latest years prime.
What sight though thine eye hath beholden,
No grief to thy pathway may climb,
As over the fields that are reapen,
At evening nnd level and shorn.
Thou pourcst thy splcndors that deepen

eide, as Has Been Supposed.
 Writing to Nature Prof Ray Lan- kester says: 'sThe letter of Edward s. Holden on this subject is extremely in- teresting. It appears that he, like other individuals who. have imagined that they have witnessed the suicide of scorpions, have fallen into the er- TOT (so common in the interpretation of biological as distinguished from abiological phenomenal of stating his differences and beliefs as though they were observations. The instance which occurred before my eyes (to quote his words, which remind one of the old herbalist, Gerard) was simply that of snake biting itself when inn prisoned in a jar of water. That the blow was deliberate, 'intentional,' and of suicidal purpose is pure specu- lation, and nothing occurred before Mir. Holden's eyes to warrant his en- tertaining such a notion. Had MT. Holden been aware that the poison of the rattlesnake has little or no effect upon another rattlesnake nor upon the lAuIN1uudl 1IOu1 WIllCu tuo pOlSOn lo furnished he would probably have been less ready to conclude that the bite was one of suicidal purpose. He would then perhaps have inquired as to the depth to which the bite pene- trated into the tissues of the snake and how far such superficial bite as a snake can infict upon part of its own body is likely tin the absence of any poisonous action) to be seriously injurious to the snake In this case, as in that of the scorpion confined in fiery circle (experimentallv studied both by myself and by Prof. Bourne, of Madras, and reported on in the pro- ceedings of the Linnaan society and the Royal society,", the spasmodic struggles of an animal artifcially con- fined and tortured have been, as we clearly demonstrated, mistaken for efforts at self-destruction. The biting of its own body by the snake may be justly compared with the biting the dust attributed to men who die in hand-to-hand struggle or to the biting of their own hand or arm by unhealthy children when suffering from a par oxysm of anger"

Morphine Habit Cured.

ENsOR INSTITUTE,
 Ger. 13, 1893. I came to Phoenix two months ago to get cured of the morphine habit, which l had suffered from for almost five years, and was taking from twenty to thirty grains per day hypodermically. I was mental and physical wreck and had lost all control of myself.
 I Ientered the Ensor Institute in Phe- nix six weeks ago for treatment, and now come out cured man.
 I am free man again, and have no desire whatever for morphine. On the contrary the very thought of it is repul- sive to me.
 This great change has been wrought without suffering or inconvenience, and I have gained nine pounds in weight while being treated.
 I most heartily endorse the Ensor treatment, and recommend all those to try It, who are similarly afflicted. It will cure the hardest cases, for it cured me. H. E. CHAPMAN. We also cure the liquor and tobacco habits. A. P. WALBR1DGE, Mgr.

A SCHEME THAT FAILED.
An Austrian Editor Who Cried "WoIf
 Wolf !' When There Was No Wolf

An Austrian Editor Who Cried "WoIf
 Wolf? When There Was No Wolf
 The Kleine Zeitung relates a story of the Austrian censorship of the press. The editor of small provincial print was either in great difficulty to find a fit subject for his leading article, or else was too intent upon other busi- ness or upon pleasure to provide one. The last moment had come, and the editor was in despair. He tortured his brain in vain, when he was suddenly inspired by a happy thought, and dashed off the following lines: After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors, we have arrived at the conclusion that it may be misinterpreted by the author ities and regarded as an attack upon the government. We ourselves con- sider it to be perfectly innocent, but as we are unwilling, for our readers sake, as well as for our own, to have our newspaper coniscated, we have very unwillingly, though, as we think. prudently, resolved to withdraw the article. This must serve as the apol- ogy to our readers for the blank space in our present issue" The journal was published in the evening, and the sly editor, after performing this smart little piece of stratagem, left the office in high good humor with himself. As soon as he arrived in the office on the following morning clerk came up to him with doleful expression and said: ''Herr Redaktor, the paper is confs- cated by the police!'' ''For what req son?' said the astonished editor. "For malicious ridicule of the institutions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article, replied the man.

A suburb Of Chicago,

It appears impossible for foreigners
to gain clear idea of the great extent
of the United States. A lady in
Bangor, Me-, who has acquaintance
in England, received letter from one
of them the other day saying that a
party wished to visit the exposition
but did not care to board in Chicago
itself. They preferred to have rooms
in the suburbs. Therefore, could she
secure them boarding place in Ban
gor; they would make Bangor their
headquarters and visit the fair from
day to day. This equals the story of
the young Briton who years ago Wis
tied this country. On shipboard he
fell in with an American and asked
the price of a good horse and carriage
in the states, saying he had a weeks
leisure and thought he would drive over
to Portland, Me-, out to Chicago and
back to New York by way of Washing

ABYSSINIAN MONKS.
Their Life Seems Enjoyable to an
English Traveller.
They Retain Third Century Customs and
Have Most Remarkable Relics-The
Famous Monastery of De-
bra Bixen.

Abyssinia is country of queer Gus
toms and strangely interesting land.
The people are, for the most part, dirty
and immoral, inferior in many respects
to the Kaffirs of South Africa, but they
are Christians, and have retained in it's
ancient simplicity the religion that
was taught them in the third century.
Among Abyssinians the man who kills
a lion is popular hero, and is award
ed the proud privilege of wearing about
his head the name of the beast he has
slaughtered, privilege that is priced
as highly as knighthood among Eu-
ropeans, and makes it's possessor man
of mark to the end of his life.
Some interesting, rare and exceed
ingly valuable relics they are possessed
of, too, or think they are. Here is an
account of visit to the monastery of
Bizen by ]. Theodore Bent, who re-
Gently returned from Abyssinia:
''We started off at break of day to
visit the monks 1t took US three
hours to reach the summit, where the
monastery of Zebra Bizen, or The
Church of the Vision is placed, and
truly the name has been well bestowed,
for no more lovely vision could be i'm
agined than the one which lay before
US. We could easily see Massowah and
the Red sea coast line, and the folds of
rich blue mountains to the right and
left of US as we stood on the pinnacle
of the sacred mountain were glorious
to behold.
''My wife and reached the holy pre-
cincts unobserved. We were seeking
out for ourselves spot where we could
repose, when down came the monks,
mute with horror at woman having
approached so near. In vain we ex-
postulated and pleaded fatigue, in vain
we said we were English and deter
mined to hold our ground. The monks
sat around weeping and exclaiming:
