The End of the world.

Here are six views on the end of the
world that have been given out by emf
nent scientists during recent years:
The land surface is diminishing; the
human race will be finally drowned.
Ice Is accommodating at the north pole;
some day the earth will fall out of bal
ance and man VIII be utterly annihi-
lated by the rush of moving objects.
The earth is gradually approaching
the sun; the last man will therefore
finally be roasted alive.
Water is slowly growing scarcer; in
the ages to come all human beings and
animals Will perish for the want Of q
drop of moisture to cool their parched
tongues.
With the beginning Of the year 5000
A. D. man will commence to retro.
grade and will finally come to be q
creature no larger than plant louise.
The sun IS burning up; as she cools
the earth's glacial zones will enlarge
and the last remnant of humanity will
be frozen in a heap.

A Dog and a Song.

During one of the last birthday cele-
brations of the poet Whittier he was
visited by celebrated oratorio singer.
The LADY was asked to sing. and. seat
ing herself at the piano, she began the
beautiful ballad, robin Adair." She
had hardly begun before Mr.. Whit
tiers pet dog came into the room and,
seating himself by her side, watched
her as If fascinated, listening with
delight unusual in an animal. When
she finished he came and put his paw
very gravely into her hand and licked
her cheek. robin takes that as
tribute to himself" said Mr.. Whittier.
He also is Robin Adair." The dog,
hearing hts own name, evidently con-
sidered that he was the hero of the
song. From that moment during the
lady's visit he was her devoted at
tendant He kept by her side when
she was indoors and accompanied her
when she went to walk. When she
went away he carried her satchel in
his mouth to the gate and watched
her departure with every evidence of
distress.

When the smoke cleared away in the

young frontier parson. Charley Nc

Charley explained grimly that he
needed killing; he cheated in poker.

and turned the case over to the par

1t vas only when the parson went
through the tenderfoot's pockets that
he found anything different in this
case from various others that had

He found letter there He found
various other things. There were
money and some pictures. The par
son burned the pictures. They were
not nice pictures. He figured it out
that the tenderfoot came west be-
cause they could spare him from his
home circle.
But the parson saved the letter; 1t
was pitiful thing.
Somebody's mother had written to
the tenderfoot as he was leaving for

A man recently made a fortune by

heaps whic., the miners had cast up
and abandoned. They We're in search
of nuggets and despised the smaller
grains which rewarded their persever-

est findings of philosophy are in the
commonplace incidents of life! In cir

~ attuned ear discerns a sweet under
tone of harmony which all the hurry
burly Of sin and misery cannot down.
