NIGHT.


BY Joseph Blanco White
Mysterious Night when our first parent
knew
Thee from report divine, and heard thy
name,
Did he not tremble for this lovely frame,
RMS glorious canopy of light and blue;
Yet meath a curtain of translucent hue,
Bathed in the rays of the great setting
flame,
Hesperus and the hosts of heaven came,
And, 10! creation widened to mans view.
Who would have thought such darkness
lay concealed
Within thy beams, o sun, or who could
find,
While flowers and leaf and insect
revealed, AK
That to such countless orbs thou
us blind?
Why do we then shun death with
strife
Since life can SO deceive us VIII
not life? ~.

Few Rain is Formed

The department of Agriculture Off
cially teaches that the air between
the poles and the tropics is constantly
moving and intechanging, but not in
canals as formerly taught. There are
lalternate currents flowing past each
/ other on the same level. The antcy-
! clonic and cyclonic mechanism pre-
serves the thermal equilibrium.
Clouds are formed by the process
of cooling the air at great elevations.
The greater the elevation the cooler
the temperature. The stratus type
! of cloud forms nearer the earth, while
from this type is evolved higher up
cumulous clouds. Their general drift
In this country is eastward.
These clouds are formed by the COOL
ing of ascending currents of moist air.
This moisture-laden air becomes foggy
through the action of lower tempera-
ture, for clouds are but floating fog
banks. Condensation goes on as the
air rises, but just how the particles
of cloud happen to come together. or
to grow into rain drops, no one knows.
But it is known that not over one per
cent of the moisture in a cloud comes
down as rain, the rest of it being eyap-
GRATED. The cumulous clouds afford
the most of the big drops that We
call rain.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
Fat women are like jelly, except that
they arn't good to eat.
Until women learn the value of silence
they will never master the art of think
ing.
1t takes a woman to wake a man up
in the middle of the night to tell him
to remind her in the morning of some-
thing she wants to tell him when he IL
awake.
No woman considers that she Is doing
her duty as a careful housekeeper unless
she hears burglars in the cellar or smells
smoke In the attic every once inso often.

The Georgia plan is a sham and subti-
fuge. 1t would be of no benefit to the
people of Alabama Under the Georgia
plan, with our basis of representation
as 1t now stands candidate might carry
Tallapoosa county by 5000 majority and
lose Dallas by 100 majority. having in the
two counties a popular majority of 1890,
and yet have only eight votes in the State
convention while the fellow who carried
Dallas by 100 majority would have in the
State convention sixteen votes. No, no,
the Georgia plan is no good and will not
meet the issue in this State.

The Age-Herald assumes a strange po-
sition, after advocating the direct rule
of the people so earnestly, to come
around after the fight has been practical
ly won and propose to handicap the peo-
pie by attaching a worse than useless
convention to the primary system. Such
plan would prove satisfactory to neither
faction. Compromises are seldom advis-
able.
