MINERVA IN BOSTON.

My Minerva iouts the Graces and forgets how
fair her face Is,
But the higher criticism shs entirely COM
prehends,
So she dresses very plainly, after some reform
ungainly,
And looks on Briggs and Spencer as her inti-
mates and friends.
She's Indifferent To ices and confectionery de-
vices,
But on esoteric Buddhism she loves to pom
der well,
and though she never glanccs at the popular
romances
She INDUCES ON occasion in a study" or
pastel"
She's superior TO Irritation; she contributes to
The Nation.
And shed be a rank agnostic II she didn't
know so much;
She declines in social duty 10 display her mod
est beauty,
But she's put a poem of Browning into genu-
inc low Dutch.
She is unsteady clever, and the tune" tabOos
forever,
For to wagner" she is faithful, and to
Brahms she gives her heart;
Then at Arts high altar kneeling she will talk
"technic" and feeling"
And il say, Its pretty" will reply, Butts
itart!"
Dare | ever hope TO hold her in the arm that
would Hfold herr
Or, with Plato for my pattern, must tell my
love in Creek
Let me curb this crude young passion, and,
since cnurIing's out of fashion,
Woo Minerva with a problem, and of Eros
shyly speak.
Most persistently I'm examining, but ] weary
of my shamming
And am not intoxicated with Castalia's bitter
cup.
Knight win the maids affections through a
course in comic sections,
But / wonder If once married i could keep
the blamed thing up.

Pittsburg's Finest Tree.

The greatest beauty of a tree is its
form. This Is never. so beautiful as
when given ample space for develop
ment. There is an excellent exam
pie of the truth of this assertion in
the magnificent purple beach on the
grounds OF Judge Mellon, Negley
avenue, East End. This tree has
never been pruned, and its spreading
branches completely hide a circular
space of ground fully 40feet i'll diam
eter. 1t is admired by thousands
and is easily the finest tree i'll Pitts
burg and one of the finest in the
state.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Iconociasts.

Iconoclasts We're image breakers.
The controversy respecting images,
which had been introduced into
churches for popular instruction
about A. d. 800, was begun about A.
ID. 726 and occasioned much disturb
ance and loss of life in the eastern
empire. Leo Isauricus published two
edicts for demolishing images IL
churches in that year and enforced
them with great vigor in 736. The
controversy was carried on in the
church, and the schism was the occa-
sion of the second council of Nice, A.
d. 7S7. The iconoclasts were finally
communicated at the eighth gener-
al council at Constantinople, A. ID.
S76-7O, and this controversy led to
the separation of the Greek and Latin
churches. Many images We're de
stroyed in England and Scotland dur
ing the reformation and in the civil
war-1641-S-and on each occasion
the destroyers assumed the name of
iconoclasts.-Brooklyn Eagle.

OF Delefllum lTellellS- 81. LOUIS
Republic.
1t is curious TO notice that the sun
light passing through glass of one
color is not only of that color. What
is called the ordinary solar spectrum
is produced by allowing a ray of sun
light to enter a narrow slit and pass
through n or more prisms. If a bit
of red glass be held over the slit, the
whole length of the spectrum is not
Redeemed. There is no color in the
spectrum of the glass when that color
does not exist in the ordinary (rain-
bow spectrum. If the red glass be
pretty pure, only red and a little
orange are visible in the spectrum.
All the rest is cut away. Wonderful
is it also that the colors seen in nat
ural objects are chiefly residuals left
after internal absorption.
A tulip with green leaves can only
b. seen in pure light or in the CORE
spending colors of the spectrum. If
it Is placed in the red band of the
spectrum, the flower shines brilliant
ly red, while the leaves shine dull
red, not green. If moved to any 9TH
er band of the spectrum, the red pet
ais become black, and the green alters
much.-Longman's Magazine.
