THE SILENT MARCH.

When the march begins In the morning
And the heart and the foot are light,
When the hags are all a-iutter
And the world Is gay and bright,
When the bugles lead the column
And the drums are proud In the van,
It's shoulder 20 shoulder, forward march!
All! let him lag who cam
For It's easy to march &c music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don't get tired. you feel inspired,
And life Is draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the color-bearers gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped so brave In the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy forward
march,
Though the ragged lines are few.
Then il 3 hard to march In silence.
Aud the road has lonesome grown,
And lie is n bitter cup To drink;
But the soldier must not moan.
And this Is the task before us,
A task We may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful time
We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers US,
March when the strains are dumb,
Pucky and valiant, forward. march!
And smile, whatever may come.
For. whether LIES hard or easy.
The stronger man keeps the pace,
For the desolate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the grace.

Wonderful Mineral,

There is wonderful mineral found
in Iceland that possesses the strange
property of producing two images Of a
single object. On looking through it
at pencil, for instance, you will see
two pencils, both of which will be
clearly defined. The mineral is trans
lucent and crystalline and goes by
the name Of Iceland spar. The mine
in which it is found is located on the
eastern coast of Iceland and is con.
trolled by the Danish government.
The spar is exceedingly valuable,
owing to its many uses in the sciences,
particularly for the manufacture OF
optical instruments and for expert.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
TIL. Strange Custom Observed by Tribe
of Farther India,

Among the Shan Karens of farther
India funerals are made the occasions
OF grand wedding festivals, in which
all the manageable young men and
women of the village are privileged to
participate. As it is not always con.
yenient TO hold these interesting cere.
monies Mt the exact time yillager
may die, il is customary to deposit the
corpse in some temporary resting
place till the marriage market is IN.
vorable to giving it ohsequies worthy
of its former estate. Consequently
six months or Il year may frequently
pass before the memory Of the dead
Karen receives the honor which is its
due.
When a good time comes for we'd
dings the remains are taken from their
resting place and set upon platform
which has been prepared for them,
and the eligible bachelors and mar
riageable young women are invited to
come and compete in a marrying
match. The funeral service" is then
begun with n chorus of men celebrat-
ing the beauties of Karen maidens in
general. The girls respond in n draw
ling falsetto. The bachelors, each in
his turn, begin usually for the sake of
peace, with the most muscular maiden.
II one OF them is rejected, he waits till
his turn comes again, and addresses,
if he sees fit, some other girl.
The girls receive the proposals in
perfect seli-possession, and respond
10 them in phrases like those with
which they have been addressed, the
models of which have come down
from old times. Reflections seldom
occur, except when a man makes a
mistake aud applies to girl who is
known to be reserving herself for an
other. The funeral service" goes on
in this way till it is plain that no more
alliances can be made, when it il
closed, and the body Of the deceased
is buried. The matches thus made
are binding, aud no other way of max
ing them is in favor.

Story of A Bullet,

lie Petit Journal of Paris relates a
remarkable experience of NJ. Charles
Jallerat, who was wounded in the
war of 1870 while serving in the artil-
lery. He was struck by a bullet in
the left temple, and in spite OF re-
peated attempts the surgeons were
unable to extract it. They expressed
the opinion, however, that the man
might live for years with the bullet in
his head. As matter of fact, for
twepty-seyen years it did not trouble
him in the east. Last May, how
ever, the bullet, which had remained
buried in the frontal tissues, moved
up toward the brain and NJ. Jallerat
became insane. For nearly fort
night his mind remained unbalanced,
but happily the bullet again shifted
its position, and NJ Jallerat rccov-
cred. He did not feel any more in
convenience until quite recently, when
he experienced curious sensation i'll
the throat. He succeeded in forcing
the obstruction into his mouth, and
was very much surprised to discover
that it was the bullet which he had
carried in his head for over a quarter
Of century.
