4 gander browns itself in our dam.
We take it out and open it on the bank
and kneel, looking at it. Above are
the organs divided by delicate tissues;
below are the intestines artiStically
curved in spiral form and each tier
covered by Il delicate network of blood
vessels standing out red av -inst the
faint blue background. Each branch
of the blood vessels is comprised of q
trunk. bifurcating and rebifurcating
into the most delicate hairlike threads,
1ymmetrically arranged. We are
struck with its singular beauty. And,
moreover and here we drop from our
kneeling into a sitting posture), this
also we remark-of that same exact
shape and outline is our thorn tree
/ seen against the sky in midwinter; of
that shape also is delicate metallic
tracery between our rocks; in that
exact path does our water flow when
without n furrow we lead it from the
dam; so shaped are the antlers of the
horned beetle. How are these things
related that such deep union should
exist between them all? Is it chance,
or are they not all the fine branches
of enc trunk, whose sap flows through
us all? That would explain it. We
nod over the gander's inside.
This thing we call existence. Is 1t
not a something which has its roots
far down below in the dark and its
branches stretching out into the i'm
mensity above which we among the
branches cannot see? Not a chance
jumble, living thing, a One. The
thought gives us intense satisfaction.
We cannot tell why.
We nod over the gander, then start
up suddenly, look into the blue sky,
throw the dead gander and the refuse
into the dam and go to work again.
And so it comes to pass in time that
the earth ceases for us to be a welter-
ing chaos. We walk in the great hall
of life. looking up and round reveren-
TALLY. Nothing is despicable; all is
meaning full. Nothing is small; all
is part of whole whose beginning and
end we know not. The life that throbs
in us is pulsation from 1t, too mighty
for our comprehension, not too small
And so it comes TO pass at last that,
whereas the sky was at first a small
blue rag stretched out over us and so
low that our hands might touch 1t,
pressing down on us, it raises itself
into an unreasonable blue arch over
our heads, and we begin to live again.

A Blind Mans Calculation,

When Gauss became blind, his only
amusement consisted In making calcu'
latlons of n curious and somewhat pc
culiar nature. These sometimes lasted
for days. When more than so years
old, Gauss computed the amount to
which 81 would grow If compounded
annually at per cent interest from
the time OF Adam TO the present, as
suming this to be 6.000 years. This, II

At trains he was always a minute late.

His clothes wore out at terrible rate,

He forgot bis taxes to liquidate
Till the cost took all his small estate.

And the horse hc bet on always lost.

Some thief would be sure to steal his bike.
Boils came on his neck twice every year.
And he lost his hearing In one car.
