wANB o. THE MOON.

The icy moon hath had her day.
The moon that brought the frost 10 stag;
lis timo that she were gone away
To stay away forever.
Her hands that let the frost-nowers fall
The white and velvet funeral pail,
No more have any power at all
To set the worll to shiver
Rare trophy hers Of ffrozeu birds
Stabbed 10 the death with icy swords,
And piteous frozen aocks anI herds
Amid the ice-nelds lying:
VI piteous human folk that gfoan
Clustered about a cold hearthstone.
And unborn flowers as cold and lone.
And unborn blossom dying.
Come, mild spring moon, that sweetly strays
Ger gold and purple meadow ways,
Sown like our land in rich May days,
With cowslip heads and clover;
Come with thy l-ild eyes like girl.
Thy lifted gown of mother o. pearl.
Wherein the dear spring blooms unfurl!
Come, make the world thy loverl

THE ANGELIC HUSBAND.


There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who In public arc ms
smiling as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-wel, he's
never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
Ihat whene'er their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn;
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's a really good and kind one,
Yet the read angelic husband-oh. he's never
yet been born
30 the woman who is mated
To man who may be rated
AS pretty fair" should cherish him forever
and day,
For the real angelic creature.
Perfect, quite in every feature,
He has never been discovered, and he won't
be, so they say.

A shaft into the earth is proposed
by NJ. Paschal Grousset as the sepsa.
tion for the Paris Exposition of 1900.
His plan is an inversion of the idea of
the Eiifel tower. Elevators will carry
the public down the shaft; at inter
walls there will be restaurants and con.
cert rooms, decorated so as TO har.
monize with the temperature, which
will increase with tho depth, as far as
2lOO feet below the surface. Beyond
that point, as the heat will be too great
for comfort, a narrower shaft is to be
driven for scientific purposes only to
depth greater than has ever yet been
obtained, possibly 5000 feet.

Animated Barometers

Says an old Pennsylvania farmer:
81 always know when there is to be II
windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chickens so to roost each night.
In calm weather the fowls always
roost on their poles with their heads
alternating each way; that is, one
faces east, the next west, and so ON.
But when there is going to be high
wind they always roost with their
heads toward the direction from which
it is coming. There are reasons for
these different ways of roosting, l
take it. When there is no wind TO
guard against they can see other dan
ger more readily if they are headed in
both directions, but when wind is to
arise they face it because they can
hold their positions better. But the
part L can't under stand" he con-
cluded, sis how the critters know
that the wind is going to rise when
we mortals lack all intimatiou of it.
