Al Sea on an Ice ElOe.

Recently the lifeboat society at
Cronstadt received news that toward
the south shore of the Gulf of Finland,
about thirty miles from Cronstadt,
some 300 fishermen and peasants, and
their horses and sleighs, had been
suddenly carried out to sea on a large
ice foe, which had been detached ap-
parently by II recent storm. The lee

lifeboats on runners, and n similar
party started to tho rescue from
Oren 'enbaum, on the other side of the
mouth of the Neva. The latest tele-
grams from Cronstadt state that the
fishermen and others have been found
and all rescued by means of bridge
made of poles and planks, which were
thrown out from the firm ice. They
had been cut off from the mainland
for at least forty, .ght hours, during
the latter part OF which provisions
were passed over to them by the in

A Very Variable Star.

One of the most remarkable stars in
the sky. whose antics have puzzled the
astronomers ever since it has been
carefully observed, is Argus, some
times the brightest star in the constel-
lation. Argo Navia, one of the most
brilliant consultations in the southern
heavens. When this star was first cata-
logued, in the seventeenth century, it
was set down as star of the fourth
magnitude. In less than a century il
rose to the second then at the begin
ming OF this century diminished again
to the fourth, rose in few years TO
the second, became in 1927 OF the first
magnitude, then again of the second.
again in 1898 of the first, rivaling
Sirius in brilliancy, then gradually
dwindling down to star which at
present is barely visible to the nm
aided eye. A satisfactory explanation
of these rapid and singular changes

SONG OF THE RED BIRD.

When the first faint glow of light
On my window, pale and white,
Wakes the thought that night is Ger
When I fain would slumber more,
And strange visions fade and glow
As my dreams fit to and fro,
Suddenly without 1 hear
Piping clear, but soft and near:
"Cheer up, cheer up cheer Cheer |
Day is coming, day is here
Merry, merry, morning, merry
Sleep no more, o do not tarry,
Light is breaking, cheer, cheer, cheer r
Lying there in vain regret
That the day owes night a debt:
That the dark is soothing still,
Though the light will lead and thrill
Musing DER fading dream,
Coming DER some worldly scheme,
Suddenly again 1 hear
Sweet and mellow, strong and clear
"Cheer up, cheer up, cheer Cheer
Love is waiting, love is near
Money. money, nay, not money,
Makes life hnppy, makes love sunny!
Work is blessing. cheer Cheer Cheer -

PATIENCE.

Be patient! Easy words to speak
While plenty fills tho cup of life,
While health brings roses to the cheek,
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
OF those-I often think of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be patient when the sufferer lies
Prostrate beneath some fell disease,
And longs. through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour of ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than 1t can bear.
To feel the torture of delay,
The agony of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair not though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy bark,
The storm will pass the port is nigh.
BE patient and the tide will turn.
Shadows will flee before the sun.
These are the hopes that live and burn

The United States Government

The United States Government is
seeking by pl ecept and example to
induce towns with names ending in
the forms burgh, borough, boro, and
burg, to adopt this last form. Burg
is the usual pronunciation in the
United States of the form burgh, and
most Americans refuse to sound the
final ''h," even of Edinburgh. These
several sufiixes, and, as well, bury,
brough, and barrow, are related to
the AngloSaxon verb beorgan aud the
German bergen, to hide or to shelter.
The several sutfixes are also related to
several Anglo-Saxon forms meaning
sn earthwork, and from this came the
application of such suflixes to indicate
a fortified town.

The Uuited States Government owns
great many miles of 'longshore tele-
graph lines, connecting lighthouses,
live-saving stations and other Govern
ment property on the coast. 1t is
usually easy to recognize these Gov
ernment lines by their low poles of
rather small iron piping. These poles
are planted deep in the sandy beach,
and, being of small diameter, they
present little hold to the sea winds,

''No? For what did you take me,
then? Am / not woman, with wo

tinue to love man who is false to

'False to you, Lillian? But / am
not that. Sweet, whether you marry

"Because l saw you this very after

"Oh, you saw me, did you? Then
my story is half told already. 1t is

surprised eyes.
How dared he speak SO lightly-and
to her?
Lilly, that sweet young girl whom
Mrs. Parkhurst has employed in the
linen-room Miss Moreton, she calls
herself-is my own sister, and she has
concealed herself from me, fearing
that the knowledge that she was in the
institute in such capacity would
prejudice my future unfavorably.
She was q governess in New York
she was coming here as companion to
poor old Mrs. Bucknor, who was killed
in the fre--and Mrs. Parkhurst,
ignorant of any relation between us,
brought her here. And, noble heroine
that she is, she would have gone away
without betraying herself, had not

thought l would be mortified, but in

"'But Miss Bassett?' said she.
"And then / told her that this even
ing you should know all. l have kept
my word. Now l await your verdict.
Have not reason to triumph in such
Il noble sister as this?"
Lillian burst into tears: she hid her
face on Moreton's breast.
"Oh, WILL she cried, "what
dreadful goose | have been to doubt
your love! Go and bring her here at
once. Tell hesI want to see my dear
new sister. Tell her that, hereafter,
plenty of room in the new house for

And so the brave young girl, who
had subordinated her whole life to her
brothers success, was promoted to her
proper place on life's ladder.

she could be as happy in the new col
lege as anywhere else.

The republican papers are claiming
a great victory in the new county of
Carbon, but they will be likely TO
change their views after the fall cleo
tions are over. Of course we have no
idea that the differences between the
democracy and the citizens party are
permanent or even Of nature to at all
disturb the entente cordiale next time.
1t is an admitted fact that the citizen S
party there is composed almost ex-
clusively of democrats. These will re-
turn to their allegiance because it is
their only hope for the future of Car
bon. Reunited, the party will sweep
the republicans of Carbon county into
Frice River with the utmost ease.
