CONSCIENTIOUS.
That Elephant SHOULD: lie Seen, Even II He
Had to Furnish the Match.

| lad to Furnish the Match.
Senator Calvin 5. Brice recently told a
story of one of his boyish experiences:
| You can possibly imagine the interest
We lads in the country took when circus
| came to town. From the time the colorrd
posters were up and the circulars distrib
uted until the arrival of the show there
was not moment but that was one of ex
element
"Circuses travelled in caravans then over
the country. They were not As elaborate
analrs as those of the present, but | Ger.
Ginly nave never seen one in recent times
"nlcn caused me the wonderment and gave
me the pleasure Of those old time shows.
The entries into town were the great
events OF the season, and for hours at a
TIME when circus was coming we watched
the ROAD or went out in the country to act
as an escort to the elephant and vassals to
the clown.
pom one occasion we watched and
watched for the approach of the show, but
1t was delayed. The morning sped away
the AFTERNOON disappeared. and yet no cir.
Gus. Finally night came, and the dark ness
deepened. and with it came the report that
the show was near at hand.
But what were We to do, for it was now
50 dark that we could not have told an ele.
pnant from the shadow Of a hay wagon.
and all our JOY would be gone if we could
not see the animals pass along the road,
AT that time one of the boys discovered
q quantity OF lumber which some one had
bought to build a house. III tell YOU
what, said he, let's build fire with this
amoer, and then while it's burning we can
zee the whole show pass, elephant and all.
Inc boy to whom he made this remark
nesitated, looked at the lumber and then
peered down the road. Then be said: oh.
nc. wouldn't do that. wouldn't burn |
up the timber 1t wouldn't be right, you
know. But say he continued hesitatinp.

We generally find that "a person
who brags Is usually a coward, but
In this case the Old man upheld his
reputation.
An old cobbler In Amity street,
who was largely patronized by the
young bloods, once boasted that moth
my was ca able OF frightening him.
Two young men once determined 70
put his courage To the test. One OF
them pretended TO be dead, while
the other went TO the cobbler and
asked him 10 sit up all night with
the corpse. The old man, who had
some pressing work In hand which
had To be delivered next morning,
took his leather and his tools with
him, sat down ned the supposed
dead body, and set about his task.
At midnight they brought him a cup
OF cafe nOir 10 keep him awake,
which he gratefully partOok OF, and
then Immediately resumed his work.
The coffee, however, put him in such
a happy frame OF mind that entirely
forgetting the presence OF the corpse,
he struck up a lively song, beating
time all the while with his hammer
on the l~apstone. Suddenly the i'm
aginary corpse raised itself into a sit
ting posture, and exclaimed, In a hol-
low voice:
people ought not To sing when
keeping watch owe "A d%eathbed.'
The cobb.er shook his head, gave
the young man "A smart rap and
said:
People shouldn't talk when they
arc dead"
This was the last time anybody
tried 70 frighten the old cObbler.

Celestial Collisions.

Astronomers are yet discussing the
new star which suddenly iiarcd up In
the co oscillation Auriga in February,
1872. and which afterward turned
into "A nehula The general opinion
is that a collision Of some kind &C.
Cured out there in the heavens Ii
Is plain that IL must have been 4
pretty serious collision TO produce a
bla e visible some millions OF millions
OF miles away. Indeed. the puZzling
thing is that SO great an outburst OF
heat and light should sc soon have
disappeared. IL two suns, or two
great worlds, had met in full career
and smashed n another, the heat
developed would have sutilced "a
make them glow like a contlagratiOn
in the sky until long after the new
star in Auriga had lost its briliiancy.
ON this account the opinion seems
TO be gaining ground that the col.
lision 10 which the appearance Of the
new star was due must have occurred
either between two swarms of me-
teors, or between "A huge solid, dark
body and a cloud OF celestial dust
Ii a. was the meeting OF meteor
swaIms, then .he smallness OF the in
dividual met ors would account FOR
the rapid loss of light after the sud
den blaze ut the moment OF the en-.
counter; and IL IL was a soliG sphere,
an eXtInguished sun, for instance,
plunging through cosmic dust or scat
tered nebulous matter, the fact that
only the surface OF the great body
would probably be heated 10y the col
lision might account for the quick
fading Of the star
But what "A glimpse INTO the mar
wells OF surrounding space is supplied
by such facts and theories as these
How filled must the heavens be, even
where they seem the blacklist and
most vacant, with scattered meteors,
celestial dust clouds, and wandering
bodies that once, perhaps, shone rs
living atars, but now are dark and
invisible except when fired into TEN,
porary brilliancy by coils on!
In view OF such facts II no longer
seems quite as wonderful as H. once
did that the earth, travelling with
the sun through the universe, contin,
ually encounters strange particles OF
matter that come darting down
through its atmosphere in the form
OF fire-ballS
Knowing how well the air protects
US against such missiles, one can look
forward with c uanimity, and ever
with e%agerncss, TO the possibility that
our globe may sometime met a
swarm OF straying meteors capable OF
Illuminating the atmosphere so brill
iantly that the light may even at,
tract the eyes OF jewellers On Other
planets, and set them To wondering
what strange thing has come TO pass
upon the earth.

NnIne of the Erie Canal.

The Erie canal Is often called a
priceless inheritance 10 the state OF
New York, and IL Is conceded by the
press, also by hundreds Of eminent
statesmen, that the state Of New
York has become the w%eaithiest In
the Union through the agency OF the
Erie Hudson waterway, which cor.
meets the gr at chain OF lakes with
the Atlantic Ocean. According ~
the evidence OF highly-respected
merchants given before legislative in

direct cash benefit u the state from

benefits in various ways TO the masses
