KIPLING.

THE Lounger" in the New York Critic May 3d.
The Indianapolis Journal of May 20 has
an editorial asking for fair treatment for
Rudyard Kipling 1.-The same writer's
who praise his books unstintingly and read
them with keenest enjoyment" says the
Journal, ''are ready TO sneer at the man at
every opportunity. Nothing that he can
do would please these people, but a will
ingness to meet every person who chooses
to visit him and occupy his time, readi-
ness to be interviewed at any and all times
and upon every conceivable subject, and
glibness in praising all things American.
Mr.. Kipling declines to gain popularity at
this cost, and is therefore an object Of pro-
miscuous abuse" This editorial, which l
shrewdly suspect was written by James
Whitcomb Riley, concludes by saying:
"Mr. Kipling is genius who writes books
that delight not only the select literary
world, but the world OF children. He owes
the American public nothing, and it owes
him a great deal. If he wants to be let
alone he should be permitted to have his
own way, and the public should be glad to
humor him because of the charming tales
sure to result from that solitude. He is at
least deserving of fair treatment"
The New York World paid Rudyard
Kipling $500 for the privilege of publish
ing his bicycle poem. There are many
people who think that 1t would have been
money in Mr., Kipling's pocket had he paid
the World 500 not to publish it. AS
parody of "Hans Breitman," however, it
was not without merit.

"Barisal Guns,o

Travellers in passing through tho
delta of the Ganges, India, have occa-
sionally heard dull, subdued sounds,
not unlike the reverberation of dis.
tant artillery. AS these sounds have
been heard when it was positively
known that no artillery practice was
being carried out, this mysterious
phenomenon, which is known as the
"Barisal guns" has given rise to much
curiosity and speculation. A similar
phenomenon occurs in two different
countries in Europe, regarding which,
in letter upon the subject to Profess
sor G. H. Darwin, NJ. Van der Broeck,
conservator of tho Museum of Natural
History, of Belgium, writes:
81 have constantly noticed these
sounds in the plain of Limburg since
1880, and my colleague Of the geologi-
cal survey, NJ. Rutot, has heard them
very frequently along the Belgian
coast, where our sailors call them
mist pouffers, or fog dissipators.
"The keeper of the lighthouse at
Ostend has heard these noises for sew
eral years past; they are known near
Boulogno, and the late M. Houzeau
spoke of them to my friend NJ. Lam
caster. More than ten of my personal
acquaintances have observed the fact.
"The detonations are dull and dis
tant, and are repeated dozen times
or more ct irregular intervals. They
are usually heard in the daytime when
the sky is clear, and especially toward
evening after very hot day. The
noise does not at all resemble artillery,
blasting in mines, or the growing OF
distant thunder"
M, Van der Brock attributes these
noises to "some peculiar discharge of
atmosphere electricity" NJ. Rutot
thinks they are 'internal to the earth, "
and might be caused by "tho shock
which the internal fluid mass might
give to the carth's crust"
Similar unexplained ntSses have
been heard among the Dartmo3r Hills,
England, Gnd in Scotland.

Prompt People.

Don't live single hour of your lifo
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it, and going straight through
it from beginning to end. Work,
play, study-whatever it is, take hold
at once, and finish it up squarely /;
then to the next thing, without let
ting any moments drop between. 1t
is wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people contrive to make
of day ; it is as if they picked up the
moments which the dawdiers lost.
And if ever you find yourself where
you have SO many things pressing
upon you that you hardly know how
to begin, let me tell you sacret:
Take hold of the very first one that
comes to hand, and you will find the
rest all fall into file, and follow after,
like company of well-drilled soldiers,
and though work may be hard to meet
when it charges in a squad, it is easily
yanquished if you can bring il into
line. You may have often seen the
anecdote of the man who was u-ked
how he had accomplished SO much in
his life. "My father taught me" was
the reply, "when had anything to
do, go and do it." There is the secret
the magic word nowl Make sure,
however, that what is to be done
ought to be done. "Neyer put off till
tomorrow what you can do o.day" is
a good proverb, but don't do what you
may regret. Merchant Sentinel.

Let us live my dear; let us live and love;
We know not all that the blue skies mean,
But the beautiful lilies loll and lean;
And here is the sunshine, and meadows Of
green,
And rivers with silvery ripples between:-
The earth below, and the heaven above:
Let US live, my dear; let US live and Lowell
The earth below, and the heaven above:
Let us live my dear, for a breath Of love;
We know not the meaning of stars and
skies
We only sec heaven in Loves glad eyes,
We give him our sorrow-our songs and cur
sighs,
And a red rose is born for each red rose that
dies!
oh, the earth below, and tae heaven ABOVE!
Let us live, my dear; let Us live and love!
Let us live, my dear, in The lonely lands.
For kiss, tear and n clasp of hands;
For whatever blessings soul may miss,
There is nothing in hea ven as sweet rs this
Loves kiss. Loves lingering, first sweet Kiss
With the earth below and the heaven above!
And life, my dear, that is lived for Lowell
