THE PEACE OF SLEEP.

Refreshed NJ vigorous may 1 awake,
To bear the burdens of another day;
And wiser paths in Thy great vineyard
make,
That follow Christ more closely all the
a
o may the peace that so pervades Sleeps
sphere
Hush storm of strife, soothe Sorrows
plaintive wall,
Heal wounded hearts and dry the flowing
tear,
So Love and Mercy with good cheer
prevail.
I thank the Love that rules this border
land,
Where blessed angels wait to serve; and
stay
To lead us gently on, with helpful hand,
Der life's uneven, dark and toilsome
way.
Beneficent and sanatory land,
Where healing power these machines re-
Machines so long in use, complex and
grand;
Yet so abused, worn out, and wanting
care.
The Love Divine that broods DER mystic
Sleep,
Which sweetly typiies our final rest,
Shines through the pearly gates, tina
open keep,
Near Sleeps kind vestibule to mansions
blest.
So, tranquil now, I lay me down to
sleep,
And sink away from self, into Thy will.
Till morning dawn, no more to watch or
weep,
For one is softly breathing Peace, be

POSSIBLE END OF THE WORLD.
Earth May Come in Contact with a
Comet and All Terrestrial Life
He Destroyed.

Although it is exceedingly improb-
able that the earth may be destroyed
by collision with a comet or some huge
meteor, still the fact that such a con-
tingency is possible is sufficient ground
for discussion on the subject, and for
imagining what the result might be,
writes Hudson Maxim, in Woman's
Home Companion.
The earth is moving around the sun
at velocity of Is miles a second, while
the sun, with all it's attendant plan
cts, is being hurried on toward the
great fiery constellation of Hercules
at a far greater velocity. The very
fact that small meteors exist proves
the possibility of the existence in
space of meteors of inconceivable
magnitude-even great black dead
worlds may lie in u path, like break
ers in the path of a ship. Fifty miles
a second is not an unusual velocity for
heavenly bodies, and some are known
to move at a speed in excess of 100
miles a second-5O0 times the speed of
a rif1e-ball. Small meteorites, which
reach the earth at a velocity of from
20 to 30 miles a second, are instantly
consumed by the friction generated
with the atmosphere. Large meteors,
however, occasionally reach the earth,
escaping destruction from their size,
but are found to have their surfaces
fused from heat generated BY the pas
sage through the atmosphere AL
though it is not probable, still it is
possible, that the earth may some
time encounter such a shower of small
meteors, perhaps in the form of a
comet, that the heat of combustion
from friction with our atmosphere,
and the poisonous gases thereby gen.
Grated, might destroy all terrestrial
life.

The proportion of sightless to seeing
persons has been watched with espe-
cial interest in Great Britain, and the
latest statistics indicate hal it has
fallen in a half century from about
1920 in 100000 to some $40, or more
than IA er cent. This decline has been
so timed as to show pretty conclusive

WESTERN HUMANITY
By REV. NJ. A.
Of Seattle, Washington.

As an abstract proposition, humanity is
the same in all ages and climes. Taken as a
whole, THE WORLD IS GROWING BET
TER, and each year marks a record-break-
ing progress toward perfection.
This is an suspicious hour in which to
be born, in which to labor, and in which to
die. Speaking of humanity from a local
point of view, western humanity has many
points of interest and advantage. There is
very little OF it native born. The country is
too young to have produced an historical
life. The locality has had the burden Of

Under handsome colored cover, the
Scientific American publishes a most
interesting store of information on
Transportation. The number deals
with all phases Of the subject, taking up
first marine transportation, which is
treated in series of well-illustrated
articles. Railroad transportation covers
9 pages of reading matter, in which
much of interest will be found. Follow
ing this section is that of electric trac-
tion, which contains an important ar
ticle on the Berlin-Zossen test of the
l0,00O-volt locomotive. A special feat
ure of this number is a comparison of
the railroad statistics in the United
States, in which the tremendous pro-
portions of our railroad system are por-
trayed by comparison with various
familiar standards, such as the pyramid,
the Brooklyn bridge, etc. The immense
amount of food required to provision
one of our Atlantic liners is shown in a
similar way. In this way figures and
dimensions are graphically presented
and permanently fixed on the mind. On
account of the broad field covered by
this number, it will readily be seen that
matter of interest will be found to suit
all readers. This special number is sent
to any address for 10 cents by the Scien.
tific American, New York.

A Merry Christmas.

Hood River is having white Christ
mas aud merry Christmas. Snow
fell all day Tuesday, and with what
fell Monday, made good sleighirg, and
the sleigh bells jiugled all day. The
snow Tuesday evening was II inches
deep in town. The roads throughout
the valley were well broken and In
good condition, and country people
filled the town and stores all day.
Hood River children found the Christ
mas trees and their stockings well sup
piled with presents from Santa Claus.
The holiday trade in Hood River was
never better than this season. The
stores have all been crowded for the
past two or three weeks. Booths store
sent out Santa Claus in sleigh on
Monday. He delighted the little folks
as he went through the streets footing
his horn. The merchants windows
are handsomely decorated and have
been the admiration of the passer by.
Wednesday morning the snow was
about two feet deep all over the valley
and the town was full of sleighs and
sIeds of all descriptions. Every one
seemed to have new pattern of a sled
or sleigh and no one cared whether
school kept or not so long as he was on
runners of some sort. Wednesday was a
spring-like day, with sunshine most of
the time, and as the snow was not
melting, the sleighing was delightful.
Towards evening showers of rain fell,
but the rains did not seem to dampen
the joyous ardor of the young folks who
crowded the stores where Santa Claus
held forth. Christmas exercises were
held in all the churches Christmas eve.
