Truth and Repose.

4 self denial no less austere than the
saints is demanded of the scholar. He
must worship truth and forego all
things for that and choose defeat and
pain SO that his treasure in thought is
thereby augmented God offers TO ev-
cry mind its choice between truth and
repose. Take which you please-you
can never have both.
Between these rs pendulum man
oscillates. He in whom the love of re.
pose predominates will accept the first
creed. the first philosophy. he meets,
most likely his fathers. He gets rest,
commodity and reputation. but he
shuts the door of truth. He in whom
the love of truth predominates will
keep himself aloof from all moorings
and afioat.
He will abstain from dOgmatism and
recognize all the opposite negations be.
tween which as walls his being is
swung. He submits to the inconveni-
ence of suspense and imperfect opin-
ions. but he is candidate for truth rs
the other Is not and respects the high
est law of his being.-Emerson's "Es.

Getting the Musical Pitch.


Musical pitch has curious tendency

sic sounds much differently now from

cause the instruments are now pitched
higher. In 1852 IL was found that the
pitch Of high \ At the Vienna Court
Opera had crept from the prescribed
49, double vibrations n second 10 433,
and in 1885 this number had further in

to re-estahliSh the old pitch of 1875 vi

fields covered with the white flower.
A new variety of lotus is said To have

the pink flower and is pure white eN'

tluted petals. which are tnged with
sea green like the others; the heart
of the new lily is golden, but ii has
no flavor. The lotus is interviewer

few legends which do not in some way

attending the cremation of the
drowned Queen of Siam tridents with
triple tips, each crowned by lotus,
were carried in the procession. Lotus.
