Don't Give On.

Sorrow came to you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first impulse
now is to give up and sit down in de-
spair amid the wrecks of your hopes.
But you dare not do it. You are in the
line Of battle, and the crisis is at hand.
To falter moment would be to imperil
some holy interest. Other lives would
be harmed by your pausing. Holy inter
ests would suffer should your hands be
folded. You must not linger even to in
dulge your grief. Sorrows are but Incl
dents in life and must not interrupt us.
We must leave them behind. while we
press on to the things that are before.
Then God has SO ordered, too, that in
pressing on in duty we shall find the
truest. richest comfort for ourselves.
Sitting down to brood over our sorrows,
the darkness deepens about us and creeps
into our heart, and our strength changes
to weakness But, if we turn away
from the gloom and take up the tasks
and duties to which God calls as, the
light will come again, and We shall
grow stronger.
When all our hopes are gone.
IT'S we'll our hands must still keep toiling on
For others sake.
For strength 10 bear is found in duty done,
And he is blest indeed who learns to moke
The Joy of others cure his own heartache.

Of strong character, tired Of the hum

the penitentiary, threw himself with all
the abandon of his daring nature He ar
rived at Nicaragua Feb. 1, 1856. IN
der al assumed name he was soon ap-
pointed and commissioned assistant
commanding general, with the rank Of
major, and ordered to take charge of the
commissariat Of the army. He showed
such ability that Walker soon promoted
him. For eight or nine mouths he had
the entire finances of the country in his
hands, and but for his careful manage
ment the slibustering scheme, it is con
coded, would have met an earlier de-
feat.
When General Walker marched to
Rivas, he left GRANADA in charge Of
Klssane: The latter made sudden sallies
on the neighboring haciendas, and, cap
turing the wives and daughters of prom
lnent Nicaraguans, held them as hos
taees to be exchanged for money or pro-:
visions. He is reputed> to have made a
fortune in the sale of confiscated hacien-
das and vouchers. Under his direction
cathedra]s and converts and private
dwellings were pillaged Of gold, silver
and Jewels. The plumber, which filled
six large cedar chests, was melted,
packed in small bulk and shipped to
New Orleans. ROBBED in priestly vest
ments and carrying the holy eucharist,
Kissane led triumphant procession
through the streets Of Granada. His au-
dacity and bravery won him devoted
followers. Few, if any, of his compan-

Nevertheless the tropics did not shield
him wholly from memory of the past.

MIRRORS OF AIR.

u What II = That Causes tho lIarvels 81
the Mirage.
The cause of the mirage il now well
understood-so well understood that
there are ways Of making small miragea
for experiment.
The simplest explanation that / can
give is to say that the rays Of light COM
ing from the thing that is seen are bent
in going through lay ers Of air differently
heated When these rays are 80 bent az
to be almost level with layer Of air,
they do not enter it at all, but ESQ to
speak glance of and are reflected as If
from 9 mirror. Then the air reflects Just
as glass mirror or body Of waite.
would, if it lay between the eye and the
trees or ship. ....z #s
This explanation will give you gem
eral idea of the cause of the mirage. In
the case OF the desert the rejecting air
mirror is believed by the observer to be
water, and the image changes it's place
as you go forward just as a reflection
would move az you advanced on glass
mirror. In the case of the ship the air
mirror seems to be above you and re-
fleets the ship, which is really out of
sight over the horizon. But do not
pretend to explain all about the differ
ent images that may possibly be formed
under different conditions of the atmos-
phere; that is schoolroom task, and a
hard one.
The fata inorganic is form or modi-
fication of mirage often seen in the
straits that separate the toe of the
"boot' of Italy and the island of Sicily,
just opposite. When the sun is just at
the right position and sea and air are
also ready to help, strange views Of OBJ.
jects upon the opposite coast are seen
from Observation-Disclosures magnifed
and set against background of oolored
mists. Fata inorganic means the fairy
Of the sea.
It is said that sometimes, during q
hot and still summer day, by placing
the eye close to the surface of dry
road, a mirage can be seen, but have
never tried it.
Before these and other strange sights
were understood and explained we need
not wonder that sailors and travellers
held many strange beliefs in regard to
them.-Tudor jerks in st. Nicholas.

Bret Harte's observation-disclosures,

In The Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Charles
Warren Stoddard, describing the ap-
pearance of Bret Harte's ''The Luck of
Roaring Camp" explains the story Of
the woman who was opposed to it's pub
LEGATION. There have been many render
ings of this incident. Mr.. Stoddard g
version is unquestionably the correct
one. 49,. ~
In the August number of The Over
land Monthly (l86S) appeared ''The
Luck Of Roaring Camp" If Mr.. Harte
had been in doubt as to his vocation be-
fore, that dcvbt was now dispelled for
ever. Never was a more emphatic or
unquestionable literary success That
success began in the composing room,
when female compositcr revolted at
the unaccustomed combination of men
tal force, virili:y and originality. No
doubt it was all very sudden and unex-
pected. 1t shook the editorial and COM
posing rooms, the business Office and a
limited number of worthy people who
had seen The Luck" in manuscript as
they had never been shaken save by the
notorious Californian earthquake. The
climax was precipitated when the justly
indignant editor, whose motives, liter
airy judgment and good taste had been
impeached, declared that "The Luck of
Roaring Camp" should appear in the
very next number of The Overland
Monthly or he would resign his office.
Wisdom finally prevailed, the article
appeared, The Overland's success was
assured, and it's editor was famous

First Thermometer.

The first thermometer was made in
1891 by Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius. Van Drebbell and consisted Of a
tube filled with air, closed at its upper
end. and dipping at it's other extremity,
which was open, in q bottle Of nitric
acid diluted with water. As the tenn
perature rose or fell The air in the tube
increased or grew less in volume. and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose. This strument is now known AZ
an air thermometer, but as its measure.
ments were based on no fixed principle
it was OF little use.
