A Magnetic Island.

Sailors have long told tales of mag
netic islands which lure ships on to
wreck by affecting their compasses. At
these accounts the scientists have
scof3ed.
Scientists have in their time scoffed
at a great many things since proved
true. It's not so many years since
mathematicians gravely proved by x
plus Y and the square root of that a
baseball could not be thrown so as to
curve "out of the vertical plane of
its projection" They were wrong.
And the scientists were wrong who
denied the existence Of magnetic IS
lands. An island, not far away from
civilization, and recently discovered,
but near the coast of Europe and
known for centuries to the geograph-
ers, has this quality. This is the is
land of Bornholm, which belongs to
Denmark, and lies In the Baltic Sea
near the shore Of Prussia.
The power of attraction, which
comes from this island, alters consider
ably the reading Of compasses on pass
ing ships. It is In effect a vast mag
net, whose influence is perceptible for
a distance OF about ten miles,

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
That Famous Old Document and what 4,
COntaina

That Famous Old Document and what u
Contains.
The Declaration is divided into two
parts; First, the statement Of certain
general principles of the rights of men
and peoples, and. second, an attack
on George III. as q tyrant, setting
forth in a series of propositions the
wrongs done by him to the Americans
which justified them In rebellion.
Criticism has been directed first
against the attack on the king, then
to the originality of the doctrines
enunciated, then against the statement
of the rights of man, Jefferson's self
evident truths" and finally against
the style. The last criticism is easily
disposed of. Year after year, for
more than a century, the Declara-
tion of Independence has been solemn
" read In every city, town and ham
let In the United States to thousands
of Americans, who have heard It over
and over again, and who listen to It
in reverent silence and rejoice that It
is theirs TO read. II II had been badly
would be incapable of this habit
False rhetoric or turgid sentences
would have been their own death war
rant, and the pervading American
sense of humor would have seen TO its
execution. The mere fact that Jeffer-
sons words have stood successfully
this endless repetition Is infalllble
proof that the Declaration has the
true and high literary qualities which
alone could have preserved through
such trials It's impresslveness and It's
SAVIOR. To those who will study the
Declaration carefully from the liter
ary side, It is soon apparent that the
English is fine, the tone noble and
dignifled, and the style strong, clear
and imposing

The great principle of our republi-
can institutions cannot be propngated
by the sword. This can be done by
moral force, and not physical. If we
desire the political regeneration Of op-
pressed nations, we must show them
the simplicity, the grandeur and the
freedom of our own government. We
must recommend 1t to the intelligence
and virtue of other nations by It's ele-
waited and enlightened action, its pur-
ity, its justice, and the protection It
affords to all It's citizens, and the lib-
erty they enjoy And If in this re-
speot, we shall be faithful to the
high beQuests of our fathers, to our
selves, and to postority, we shall do
more to liberate other governments
and emanclpate their subjects than
could be accomplished by millions of
bayonets.-IJohn Mclean.

at is impossible for mans head to

Scott at a recent meeting of the Wo-

in favor of granting to women the

say that women did not want to work

be side by side with the men OF the

satisfactory solutions to the great

GUARD THE FLAG.

Guard the flag-forever guard
Freedoms universal sign;
Let it's blue field, thicklv starred,
Ever yet more brightly shine.
Guard lt-for our heroes dust
Speaks from days Of far lang syne;
Guard it-'twas their dying trustl
Round It let the laurels twine.
BY the blood those heroes shed,
As their hands still grasped its shaft;
BY the green graves OF our dead,
BY the speaking cenotaph,
BY the hearts that 1t hath borne
Dauntless through the fiercest fight;
BY Its folds, all SCARED and torn,
Yet in triumph ever bright;
Guard the starry sign
OF our speech, our faith, our home;
Whether Ger the oceans brine,
or upon the gilded dome;
Whereso'er In triple hues
To the winds that flag is flung,
Let II tell a nations hopes
AS with clarions silver tongue
Guard the flag through storm and night,
AS in this sweet age Of peace;
Let It shine forever bright
And its triumphs never cease;
Guard the flag through shot and shelf,
Through the battles widest surge
Guard 1t and Its glorles tell
To the earths remotest verge.
Guard the laR-Columbla's pride
Which shall still unconquered be,
AS our navies proudly ride
At their viii in every sea;
AS we go from strength to strength,
God with us, we fear no foe;
Let our starry banner wave
Where the rudest tempests blowl

The partition of China will throw
open to the world its vassal state,
Thibet, a country famous for It's ehuTl-
ish and cruel inhabitants. The Chinese
yellow book describes It with compara-
tive detail, and says that II is very
poor, but rich in minerals, which
none are allowed 70 use. Strange TO
say, the women OF the land enjoy
more freedom than their sisters in
China or India. and are said to be
comely and intelligent. The records
declare that Thibet was more populous
and prosperous in ancient times, when
It paid a handsome tribute annually
to the Chinese kings or emperors.
