August Msteors.

The August shower of meteors is now
due. They will be most numerous tonight
and tomorrow night, for it is on
these dates that the earth in sweeping along
its orbit dashes through meteor zone en-
circling the sun.
Myriads of the meteors are attracted by
the earth and turned from their course.
Flying in this direction they ignite when
they encounter our atmosphere.
Millions of them die aud leave no trace
to tell, but if any one is interested enough
to care to look for the celestial visitants
scores can be seen in the Northern sky
about midnight on the dates mentioned pro-
vided the atmosphere is clear enough for
favorable observation. "a as H1.t

Dodona was the oldest and one of the
most famous of all the oracular seats, and
NJ. Carapanos was fortunate enough to
bring to light few very interesting in
quiriCs They were all written on thin
sheets of lead, and in many cases the in
scription has become in whole or in part
illegiblc, but there are few which are al
most or quite perfect In many cases the
inquirers are anxious to know what they
are to do TO please the gods or which gods
they are to try to please particularly.
4 woman asks to which god she is TO
sacrifice in order that she may recover
from some unnamed illness. Eubandros
and his wife want to know ito what gods,
heroes or divinitics they are to pray and
sacrifice in order that they and their house
hold may do well now and for all time. g."
Then there are parents who want to know
what they can do for the health of their
child, another pair who ask if they are
going to have other children than the one
they are already favored with, while in
one or two instances putative fathers in
quired whether the honor of paternity is
not being improperly thrust upon them.
Perhaps the most curious of all those
which NJ. Carapanos has given us is an in
quiry from n man called Agis. He is anx-
ious to find out whether some missing pill
lows and bedclOthes were stolen or wheth-
err he had lost them himself

pu.sy,. Ride INA Paddle BOY.

Steamer City of Newport ON her trip to
this city from Newport on Monday had a
passenger which escaped the notice of the
purser and eyaded the payment Of fare
On the arrival Of the steamer here pecul-
lar noise was heard in the paddle box,
and investigation revealed the presence Of
a very disCOnsOlato and much bcGraggled
cat, whose appearance gave conclusive evi-
dence that it had made the entire trip of
30 miles from the summer cap tai in that
rather unpleasant portion Of TIE craft.

it was discovered but was soon restored TO
its equanimity and rested contentedly on
the boat and made the return passage
down the bay in more comfortable quar-
tiers.
The cat probably crawled into the pad

to the wharf at Newport entering through

Say, thou clear eyed, thoughtful honest critic,
As you scan historic scroll of ages,
Noting human life in all its stages,
Listening to the iargon and the music,
Querying as TO all the deeds and frutage,
Searching motive every shade of feeling,
Best and worst of every age perceivfng,
Which is worthy of the highest homage?
Surely not the crude and cramped beginning,
Nor the dark and carnal ages later,
Nor when Vengeance sat as sole dictator,
Man 'ganst man in iiendish ways a-sinningl
No, Of all thus far, this age is proving
Purest, kindest Still there'll be a better
An age when greed, with all its glOated train,
And lust, with all its shameful brood of vice,
And war, with u it, cruel, dire device,
Shall nowhere meath the vaulted skies obtain,
But love, best angel everywhere display
Unselfsh thought, desire and, godlike, rise
Above the carnHi, and without disguise
Mid peace and plenty hold delightful sway
An age of light, unprecedented cheer,
So full of manly deeds with naught of bane,
And freighted richly with the truest gain,
In which the grace of goodness shall appear
An age Of ripe and perfect brotherhood,
Which God himself win say lis very good"

claim. Then came the reaction and ap-
plausa, and in that speech he changed the
opinion of that able body Of men so that
its own plan was abandoned and his adopt
ed without a dissenting voice.
This achievement has been since spoken
of as one Of the finest victories won in re-
cent years by the combined potency of rea-
son and eloquence.
That the charm Of elOquence is as strong
today a. ever was made plain in another
impressive way in New York recently
Joseph II. ChOatc is one of the few advo-
Gates who have a national reputation for
eloquence, wit and the highest oratorical
ability. He was retained as counsel in a
case in which Russell Sage was the defend
ant. The courtroom on the days of the
trial was crowded so that the judge was
compelled to order that no more be admit
ted Yet a great thrOng stood patiently in
the corridors, hoping that by some happy
chance they would have opportunity to
see and hear Mr.. Choate.
Upon the evening of one Of the days of
this trial Mr.. ChOate was announced as
one of the speakers at n political gather
ing at Cooper Union. The people began
to come before the sun had set. In the
twilight great mass of them were in the
doors were opened the great hall was fill
ed, and had it been twice as large it could
not have contained all who wished to hear
eloquenco and to be brought under the
charm Of such oratory as is Mr.. Choate' s
gift.
He stood talking to them for 40 min
utes, as it then seemed, like one friend
chatting with another, and not until the
echo of his words had died away and that
great crowd had scattered was the power
of his magic spell fully appreciated. Wher
Ingorsoll speaks in New York, Thousand
faces are before him, and an Grafton by
Bourke Cochran is an event. Depew is an
nounced as IA speaker, and men struggle fol
places that they may hear him.
The wonder to men who are orators Ii
that Others who might gain pre-eminenct
are not tempted 10 cultivate the gifts ma
ture has bestowed ON them.

My white rose bush was tapping 'gainst the

With ghostly finger tips n sobbing rain
Made doleful rhythm for my thoughts, and

My brain, ghoullike, must dig where long had
lain
The pulseless dead that time and change had
slain.

And see the grewsOme dark within my room

Two boat roc icd on the river
In the S adOw Of leaf and tree.
One was a. love with the harbor;
One wa in i8ye With the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds Of fate outbore,
But held the other, longing,
Forever aga INST the shore.
The one that rests on the river,
In the s. adOw of leaf and tree,
With wistlul eyes looks ever
To the one far out ut sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailing fair and fleet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss grown, shaded shore;
One signs that it may enter
That harbor nevermore.
One wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and wall;
One dreams amid the lilies
OF II farotf snowy sail.

Grant Allen, a writer Of pretty chapters
ON speculative botany, contends that leaves
become dissected in their efforts to obtain
air and light. Those who have had an OPP
portunity Of examining our white oak
know chat the leaves are lobed just in pro
portion 10 the ease by which they can get
light. In other cases the rule is reversed.
The outer leaves are chiefly lobed and to
our nd this is the rule that generally
prev,i s. Some other circumstances than
light lust have 10 do with the loblng of
leaves, The well known English ivy has
its lea - lobed while it is running rapid
ly W trees, walls or fences. When it ceases
TO grow in this direction, but sends out lat
eral branches the lobes disappear, Light
can have nothing TO do with this result
