Again the Voice ceased, and, lost in
painful meditation, I offered no inter-

voice comes of ono who suddenly
catches himself out OF a melancholy
reverie.
''It all happened no later than this
evening. And from the last glimpse I
had of her I knew the inevitable re-
suit, so to see her now does not sur
prise, but only saddens me.
She had walked. 1 think, to the juno
tion for some little purchases and was
returning home. The night, as you
know, was beautiful and moonlight.
AS I had switched around at the ter
minal she had stepped across to the
park entrance and stood there for mo-
ment, full in the light of the glowing
moon. There was something ethereal
enhaloing her-just a wisp of a
curl waited about her clear forehead,
just a glimpse of the young and inno-
cent soul in her eyes, looking in awe
upon the majesty Of the night-she
symbolized ideal maidenhood in all of
its timid tenderness; she was herself
part of that pure scene.

burning in the western sky; when a
thrilling story of self sacrifice is related
in your hearing; when you stand in that
famous room at Dresden consecrated to
the Sistine Madonna; when a heroic deed
is enacted before your eyes: when a
strong patriotic or religious impulse
moves an entire community, then you
may well thank God If your nerves tingle,
your pulse beats fast. and your whole be-
ing responds and you realize what
ecstasy 1t Is to be alive.
The thin-skinned man, then, has rea-
sons for gratitude provided he does not
let his sensitiveness run away with him.
Beware lest it become disguised selfish
ness Too often we pity ourselves because
we are so sensitive, when we ought to be
condemning ourselves for an excess of
pride and self-seeking. The only cure for
this fault is to reverse matters. Demand
little of others, give them much. Remem-
Der. too, that the way to rise above the
little vexations to which the sensitive
man is constantly subject is to direct the
life toward and to center the interest
upon great, big, noble concerns Don't
glue your eyes to the plains, lift them to
the Himalayas. Henry Ward Beecher
once said Of Wendell Phillips that all the
darts hurled at him never reached the
man; he lived above them. Should not
that be the ambition and effort of every
sensitive man? THE PARSON. \

HeIIotroplsm.

Heliotropism is the peculiar property shown by many plants, notably the sunnower, of always turning toward the sun. In the case of seedlings the phenomenon is especially marked The cells on the light side are apparently retarded in growth, thus causing a curvature toward that side. Professor Romanes experimented with an Inter mittent light. such as that of an cleo trlc spark discharge, upon mustard seedlings and found the helioUopic effect produced in this way Tar greater than that caused by the sun or any other form of light. Strange to say, however, this abnormal influence Is un' accompanied by the generation Of phlorophyll, the green coloring matter In plants which requires sunshine for its proper production.-Pal Mall Ga yette.
