The earth--almost the air was
white with the heat Of the summer
sun. All was vastness, immensity, si-
leuce, loneliness; above, the tiawless
blue; below, those seemingly illimita-
BILE plains OF reddish yellow, streaked
with allkali white, that swan back and
forth before the eyes in parallel lines
until far eff they melted into long,
low stretch of shivering light, the
mocking water mirage at the base of
the mountain range hundreds of miles
away Encompassed within that hori-
zon there was no thing of life except
within that desultory moving train.
Stocked in the emigrant or third-class
car of the train was a crowd Of tired,
miserable and dirty people. They
looked out listlessly at the passing
landscape, or stupidity at each other,
or twisted themselves into all sorts of
uncomfortable positions on the hard
wooden seats in vain efforts to secure
little sleep. Perhaps the most un-
prepossessing Of them all was dark
featured, roughly-dressed man. Be-
side him was a very little girl ina blue
dress. His lowering, repellant face
had a scowl upon 1t which suggested
the convict or the desperate, but he
was neither. The scowl and the un-
conscious sneer about his ugly mouth
were born simply of long and thor
oughly fruitless struggle with misfor-
tune.
Although pretty, 1t was easily to be
seen that the little girl was his child.
She was momentous factor in a
mighty problem to the man whose arm
was about her and whose knit brows
and troubled face showed how hard it
was he studied it. A crazy letter had
come to him across the continent, and
he had left the tenements of New York
to try and reach the golden land of
California He had started with hardly
sufficient money to take himself and
child more than half the distance, but
he had confused sort of an idea that
he would in some way reach his desti-
nation. Better it was, at all events,
than to remain in the noisome Hester
street den, where, without work, or
the prospect of any, his little sum of
money would soon be gone.
The station to which his scanty
purse had enabled him to buy ticket
for himself and child had been passed
hours before, and he was wondering
how soon the conductor of the train
would discover the shameless imposi-
tion he was practicing upon the rail-
way company. He had not much
longer to wait, for presently the auto
crat of the train, in hurried passage
through the car, stopped suddenly be-
fore him and glanced at the check in
his hat.
'.Hellol Where are you going?"
The man looked up in what was in
tended as a humble, respectful and
piteous appeal, but his lip curled up
over his teeth, like that of harried
dog. He could not help it. His voice
was mild enough, though, as he said:
II am going to California, sir, with
my little girl"
The mans looks seemed to irritate
the not-too-even temper of the railway
officer:
/. "You are, eh? Well, where's your
ticket for the rest of the wayp"
''If you would please let me go
through the train with my little girl, !"

HINTS TO BRIDEGROOMS.
No Reason Why He Should Appear In Such
u Poor Light.

No Reason Why He Should Appear In Such
Poor Light.
There is n modern definition of a
bridegroom which is little cruel GER
tainly, but which pretty well describes
the position of that parsonage. A
bridegroom is said to be thing in n
black coat who attends weddings. And
it is quite true that in point of impor-
lance he ranks very low down indeed
in the eyes of the spectator. Yet there
is not the slightest reason really why
he should appear in such a very poor
light as he too often does.
He need not, for instance, come into
church or the room as If he were being
led to execution He need not hang
his head as IL caught in the commits
sion of crime, or blunder about with
an awkwardness which makes every
girl present feel thankful she is not in
the brides shoes.
No doubt his position is painful and
trying. He feels he is the target for
of the kind. Let him start by con-
vincing himself that no one is likely to
waste a glance on him when there are
the bride and bridesmaids to be looked
at, and he will find 1t easier to pre-
serve his self-possession. He must try
to look happy, no matter how he feels.
Can a worse compliment be paid to
the girl he has induced to marry him
than looking as if he had regretted his
folly? He must try to look manly, not
only for her sake, but his own, for she
is very likely to regret her decision at
the last moment when she sees how it
seems to affect him. lie should look
proud.
Surely it ought to be the prondest
moment of his life; he should be elated,
and not ashamed. He should be in
good spirits, yet not carried away by
them.
A jocular bridegroom is thing one
has only to see once to remember with
horror for the rest of ones days.-Tit-

bringing Down the Moon.

A voyage to the moon is the latest
project which is seriously put forward
rs the browning point of the exhibit
ton of 1900. M. Mantois, it's author,
does no propose to carry passengers to
the lunar regions in an aerial car, but
he expects to bring down the moon to
the reach of people whose vision ex-
tends, say. six miles from the earth.
The plan is to construct q telescope
nearly two hundred feet in length.
The objective glass will have diam
eter of something over four feet three
inches, the largest in the word. The
colossal tube will be placed horizont-
ally, and the image of the moon will
be reflected by what is termed mir
ror plane, six feet in diameter and fif-
teen inches thick. The weight would
be eighty-five hundred pounds. The
special feature of the idea is that the
image of the moon should be thrown
upon screen placed in hall large
enough to hold six hundred specta-
tors. Astronomers calculate that with
an apparatus of these dimensions II
will be possible to discern easily OBJ
jects of the size OF the Notre Dame Ca
thedral towers. and to distinguish the
evolutions. Y. Sun.

sat down on bench at the cabin door,
rammed down couple of charges of

in each barrel. He put on n percussion
cap, pressed it down with the hammer,
cooked both barrels, and blazed away
at the side hill across the little guJch.
The roar had not died away till a
drove of hogs came running, grunt-
ing and squealing and commenced to
root the side hill for the corn. When
