A BiblIca1 Conundrum.

A good story is told of the horsy son
of an English clergyman. Hewas on an
important occasion to meet the bishop of
Lincoln at dinner. and as it was desir-
able that favorable impression should
be made on his lordship his father beg
ged he would be favorable to the bishop
and do his best to draw him out, as he
was unusually strong in Biblical lore.
During the early part of the banquet
matters went on well enough, the young
man saying little, but watching for an
opportunity to open his full batteries.
At length pause in the general conver-
sation took place, and while the COM
pany was all attention he thus addressed
the bishop:
might venture to ask your lordship
a question relative to point mentioned
in the Old Testament which has puzzled
me good deal?'
"Oh, certainly-quite happy" replied
the dignitary, feeling quite in his ele-
ment.
"Then should be glad to have your
lordship's opinion as to how long it took
Nebuchadnezzar to get into condition

The Young Moon.

The editor of The Popular Science
Monthly takes certain imaginative writ
ers to task for their unscientific and abb
surd statements regarding "the young
moon" and "the crescent moon" and ad-
vises them to leave it alone, because they
SO often contrive to get it in the wrong
place. In story which has come under
his notice he finds two friends described
as sitting out one summer evening look
ing over the Thames, and the writer goes
on to say, "By this time the young moon
had arisen, and its cold light shimmered
over the misty river" Such wrl.ers are
reminded that the young moon goes to
bed early and can never be seen in the
process Of rising.

Forgetful of the trembling lips once wet
With dews of kisses.

Command our loves as we command our

And prove it sweetly true
That love remains to him who truly strives
To grow in constancy.

Can never look into ourselves and see
The hidden springs that wait
A magic touch to burst forth nightly
And 'whelm our startled souls.

Within the inner temples of our love
Grow faint with lapsing time,
Like echoes from some whispering voice

The faroff floating clouds
