ending with the new heaven anc

The pain OF suspense viii be no more,
because We shall behold the purposes
of God in their ultimate and benen-
cent outworklng. The pain of waning
love will be no more, because In that
happy land, rs the children sing, love
is kept by a Fathers hand. and can-
not die. The pain of bereavement will
be no more, because death cannot in

cypress tree grows there, no mourn

no funeral cortege ever winds its slow
length along them.-F. b. Meyer.

to put their children in school they
said that they would, as soon as they
were weaned. And they carried this
out literally. One OF the girl pupils,
who entered the school when It was
opened, has had quite n remarkable

The news that DR.. George Waltomath
or Hamburg, Germany, has discovered
the long-sought second satellite of the
earth will he received with great inter
est by all astronomers and by the peo-
pie generally. For centuries the idea
that there might be Il second moon at
tending the earth has been entertlined
by some astronomers. Various obser-
vations Of circular spots seen crossing
the surface OF the sun, and unknown
luminous planets in the sky. have been
thought to lend probability to the the
DRY that there Is such a second moon
attending our planet. Occasionally IL
has been located by astronomers. Ac-
cording to one astronomer, the Sec
ond moon OF the earth Is very close TO
us, so near. In fact. that IL goes around

But If DIR. Waltemath's discovery Is

the earth's second moon Is much more
distant than the moon we know. The
report says that the distance Of the
newly discovered moon is . 40 times
greater than that of the old moon..That
would make its distance GtS, 900 miles
from the earth. DR.. Waltemath says
its diameter is 700 kilomcters, which
would be about 440 miles. In that re-
spect then it must very much resemble

A Passing Glance.

When my friend Jack was leaving

accompanied him TO the station. and
there babe him an affeCtionate fare
well. As the train was leaving the
station he noticed his aunt i'm con.
Versation with q tall. fair and very at
tractive looking young lady. Jack
was much struck by the lattcr's ap-
pearance and could not keep from
thinking OF her all the way, and won
dering who she was. He made up his
mind she was the n being in the
world for him. Immediately on his
arrival he wrote to his aunt asking
ahout the young lady. The reply was
hvorable-Viola was single.
Jack managed with his aunt's as
sistance to start a correspondence.
They became very much attached
through their letters. and when they
met for the first time it was to be
married. All arrangements about the
wedding had been made by letter.
Jack found out after they we're mar
ried. that Viola had seer him that
memorable day at the station and had
Inquired Of Jacks aunt who he was.
II happened that they both conided m
the same person. and as a consequence
all came out right. The old lady Is
very proud Of the match she helped To
make. for they are indeed a happy

Is said to be due TO the d~ragon-like

fantastic spouts came into use they

history OF astronomy during the nine
teenth century. 1t is known that in
1872 Professor Barnard. then at the
Lick Observatory, discovered n small
moon revolving with great speed
around the planet Jupiter. and much
nearer to that planet than IT'S four iarg-
er moons. This new moon of Jupiter
Is only 100 miles in diameter, so that il,
Is considerably smaller thar the new
moon which DR.. Waltcmath has dis
covered revolving round the earth. The
famous moons Of Mars, discovered by
Asaph Hall in 1877, are still smaller,
the largest of them probably not OK
ceeding seven or eight miles In diane
ter. So that as far as size goes there Is
nothing at all improbable in the exist
nee of the alleged new satellite Of the
earth. 1t does not appear whether Dr..
Waltemath has seen the new moon or
not. Reference is made in one report
to Its appearance with n telescope
according to which it shows "a small
reddish disc with white streaks." In

preparations were made at one OF the

sky in the ne%ighborhood of the moon
in order to discover whether any sa.-
elite of the noon existed. the idea be
