Twelve Hundred Miles Of Coral Reel
The great barrier reef which fringeA
the coast OF Australia north of Bris-
bane, in the direction OF Torres straits,
must always rank among the wonders
of the world. For 1900 miles the coral
animalcules have raised a solid protec.
ton against the rage of the ocean
swell at a distance varying from 20
to $50 miles from the shore. leaving a
comparatively safe and calm inner
passage. suitable for navigation by the
largest steamers on their voyage north
and east. Sundry channels penetrate
the reef at intervals. and whole fleets
OF trading schooners are regularly en-
gagged amid the intricate labyrinth OF
coral inlets.--London Standard.

When Autumn dies at last upon her
throne
Amid the ruin Of n regal state.
Boreas' clarion trumpets sound her
fate.
And Winter knows the realm thence
forth his own:
Calling his minions In the Arctic zone
And making them through his own
greatness great,
He journeys forth to his possessions
straight,
The winds wild music aye before him
blown.
A lock Of frost he fastens on the land,
And makes the air with keenest cold
to sting:
The waters lie meath letters from his
hand;
And while his white SHOWS toss ana
whirl and fling,
ROBBED royalty and crowned for all
command
He proudly cries. Behold me: I an
Kingi"

WOMEN WHO WERE oN,"rlME.",
Limited to one-Minuts Speeches at the
Recent Congress.

Limited to One-Mlnute Speeches At the
Recent Congress.
The recent congress of the New
York State Federation, notes Harper's
Bazaar, should go down in history as
great triumph in the line of system
and regularity, for every meeting be:
gan and closed at the appointed time.
Think of women making such a rec
ord as that for punctuality. This was
largely due to the example Of Mrs.
William Tod Helmuth, the presiding
officer. The holding of every part of
the program to its prescribed place
made 1t possible to have lapses of leis-
ure where new business and matters
Of interest not set down on the pro-
gram could be voiced. A convention
that gets through with everything
that It intended to discuss is almost an
anomaly. but this was the result. The
cutting down of time limits in the
speakers from three minutes to two
and then to one, showed however. that
even this open program was too full.
Another federation meeting will un-
undoubtedly remedy this. and 1t will
teach the women who are to speak
that they will have only time to pre-
sent the meat of their thought in
terse, strong sentences. Mrs Russell
Sage. who was given one minute to
tell about the Emma Willard Alum
nae association, summed 1t up in a
sentence that was epigrammatic in its
force and directness. I'VE worship
Emma Willard" she said. "and we
love each other" The federation show
ed that women are learning to do away
with useless verbiage in making their
points. but 1t also showed that the
truth was not entirely learned.

In the morning she took her pan
of suds and the polishing cloth and
stood In chair to wash the windows.
She would begin in the kitchen. she
thought, and go clear around to the
parlor. She tried to pull out the old
fashioned spring of the upper sash.
but 1t would not yield.

Joseph was obedient. He had been
''the hired man" for i've years. No
one would have known he was the
hired man except the two women. He
might have been the old lady's son and
he always been to these two.
Olive stood on a chair on tho In
side and Joseph on the ladder outside.
The features OF each were dim through
the glass. and the two scrubbed away
with soap and polish. What was left
OF smoke and frost yielded to double
persuasion. and Joseph called from
the outside: rs It clear. Oliver"

back, pointing to the upper corner.

She did not notice that Joseph was
looking into her eyes, and thinking

He rubbed away at the flmy place.
and then called again: 1T Isn't quite

Olive polished away on her side
catching Joseph's eye full of light
that shot right through the obseurity
and made her remember the text Of the
New Year scrmon-"Now We see
through glass darkly."
Around the house went tho two.
Olive on the inside and Joseph on tho
outside. and only tho last perlor win
dow was left. The morning had sped
away like n CLINT OF sunshine from
the pan OF water in the chair. Olive

Joseph was on her side in moment.
His fingers just touched hers rs they
pulled on the spring together, and
something which was not unlike CLINT
OF sunshine passed through the two.
The spring slipped back and Joseph

Its primitive stage of two centuries

Tho foundation of the observatory
dates from the middle OF the seven
teenth century, at which period the
Academic Royale 'des Sciences decided
to create an establishment devoted to
physical research and astronomical
work. The observatory lies on the
southern side Of the Seine. The great
instrument with the staircase. called
the reflector. was Installed in 1875. It
is completely incloscd by metallic Gu
pola, not shown in the picture, which
slides upon n system of rails. Tho
movable part weighs 10000 pounds:
the instrument is provided with a clock
movement having n Foucauit regu-
lator. The mirror deserves special
mention: the casting of the mirror was
intrusted to the works OF st. Gobian,
and the mass Of glass rs delivered by
the works weighed 1000 pounds. which
weight was reduced to nearly half by
the optical work. The diameter of the
mirror is 1,20 m. and the focal dis-
tance 40 m. The mirror is generally
resilvered every year.

international Council Of Women.

The arrangements for the interna
tlonal congress of women to be held in
London next June are approaching
completion. 1t Is hoped that this con
ference will be most striking success.
and that it will do the cause of women
throughout the world much good. The
English council is anxious to give first
place to the foreign delegates, and es-
pecially counts upon the, American
councils, as the United States admit
tedly leads the world in this direction,
Lady Aberdeen, rs president of the
council, will undertake arrangements
for great arbitration meeting. An
other discussion that is likely to prove
attractive will be upon the drama as n
profession. A good debate from yari-
Gus points of view is expected.

Christmas Eve.

By Mary N: Prescott.
Christmas eve the wide world over,
And Christmas chimes are sounding:
Christmas trees their buds discover.
With Christmas gifts abounding.
The nioonbeams on the snow-drifts
shed
Strike out n sudden splendor:
And all the heavenly fields are spread
With starlight bright. yet tender.
The window-panes are white with
frost,
In racery of flowers.
Bringing again the summers lost
To bloom through Christmas hourA

Across the ages shine,
Lighting the darkness OF our days
With promises divine!
