THE MOON.

''The mild hammered moon''-Ah! what ist
l wonder?
Is't just as respectable and old as the
earth?
Was it born when young planets split widely
asunder,
In travail attending satellites birth?
Did it slip by fortuity into existence
When In-the-B Beginning had hardly begun?
Or was it thrown off by abusive persist
From what settled into an ebu,lient sun?
Did it leap in it's glory out of the feral
OF chaos in blackness of vacuous night,
And join in the triumphant song of the
spheral
Or was it just simply, directly created,
AS told by the patriarchs ancient, who
Ihe earth when these mysteries were freshly
related
To them, and the awful omnipotent God?
Has it always been dead? Have its grand,
rugged features
Ne'er smiled meath the warm, coaxing
light of the sun?
Did never intelligent, reverent creatures
Live and move there since old nature
begun?
Aye, hearts have throbbed love in that
wOrldlet Supernal,
And eyes have, shed tears and ambitions
have burned,
Else the fitness of things, by the law that's
eternal.
Is violate, and all of analogy spurned!
How far through the netherward reaches
abysmal
OF time must query be hopefully hurled
To strike a response in the shock cataclys-
NAL
That wrecked a once living and beautiful
world?
The secret is deep in oblivion, and never
Shall light of it break ON our curious souls
Till God shall have given us all of forever
To learn in, as onward eternity rolls.
William Colby Cooper.

boiling Water.

When we first heard it said of poor
cook that she did not know enough to boil
water without scorching it." it seemed
like very eXtravagant statement, as it
was. But how many know how to boil
water quickly and with small fire? There
are many times upon the farm when such
knowledge is desirable, particularly when
one is doctoring sick animals and desires
a considerable quantity as quickly as pos
sible. Yet anyone who runs a stationary
engine can tell the secret. Begin with a
small quantity at first, as little as can be
used without overheating the boiler When
is begins to boil add as much more and
keep up the process. Adding one-fourth
as much as is already boiling will not
seem to check it at all, and this will be
true whether it is in pints or barrels at
a time. The heat that will boil one gallon
will boil any amount if it is but gradually
added to that which has reached the boil
ing point, if the fire is kept only at a
steady temperature. If you tell this to
at you, but it is true nevertheless.

A Lawyers Story.

Speaking of the term power of attor-
new" said a well-known lawyer the
other day to a New York Evening Sun
man, reminds me of a little incident
that occurred to Judge - and myself
last spring up in Sullivan county, We
were out for a weeks trouting and de-
termined to poach on the preserves of a
fishing club which had secured control
of the river for a distance of several
miles and where public fishing was
strictly forbidden. We knew that part of
the creek was guarded by an old Irish
man in the employ of the club, who pa
trolled the banks, accompanied by a
ferocious looking bull dog and a gun iden-
titled with the Revolutionary period, but
we decided to take chances rather than
return with empty creels. SO on the fol
lowing morning, just at the peep of day.
we sneaked up the creek through the
woods and struck in at a point just out
Of sight of the clubhouse. We had a
glorious time until about o'clock and
had filled our creels to the croWding
point, when suddenly old Mike, with his
dog and gun, appeared on the opposite
bank. Hey, We divils! Come out O thotr
he shouted. We pretended not to hear.
meanwhile edging over toward the oppo-
site bank. 'Av yez don't come out Oi'll
sic me dog on yez! roared Mike. This
time l looked up, but pretended not to
understand. Yes [ shouted back, it's

dommed bad day if yez don't come over

finger the antique musket ominously. /
began to think it was time to temporize.
BY what authority do you order us out
of this stream" | asked as severely as /
could. BY what authority is itr screamed
Mike, be what authority? Sure an I'd
have yez know thot I've full power av
eternity over the creek, an av yeZ don't
come out I'll blow the top O. your heads
off! This was too much. We didn't
mind the dog or the gun, but full
power Of eternity was something we
didn' want to contend with, so we yield

Our Future Population.

The territorial area Of Japan is about
one-twenty- fourth that of the United
States, not counting in Canada, which is
likely some time to come in; and it sup
ports 100000 people. At this rate it
is computed that the North American con-
tiaent would sustain Il population of
100000 900. How soon that limit is to
be reached may be RENTED to the proph-
cts and the statisticians, but it will come
some time without doubt, requiring an
increasingly wise type Of statesman and
politician on the way if we are to hold
together and carry out the destinies
which seem appointed to us.-New York

1t was q Crisis.

The early morning sunlight fell across
the waters of the inlet that divided the
Neck f. ON the main land. The East
was still red and the ripples of the water
were colored like wine. Few of the
cottages on the neck were open for the
day. Only one or two spirals of smoke
curled upward into the early morning
air. and the town on the main land, with
it's houses huddled close to the waters
edge was still asleep.
The splash of oars in the inlet was the
only sound, except the breaking of the
tiny ripples on the beach. A boat was
shooting across the wine-red path in the
water. It's occupants were youth,
rough, bronzed and handsome, and girl,
fine and dainty as a Bit of porcelain.
Her eyes were fixed upon the quiet houses
on the neck, but his never left her face.
When the boat grated on the shore she
sprang lightly out and stood looking at
him with an inscrutable look. He waited
patiently for her to speak. The quiet
ness of the time, the stiffness of the
place. made the moment like a crisis in
