Look through a telescope at some
tiny star invisible to the naked eye.
The light from that star perhaps left
lts surface before the time OF William
the Conqueror. 1t may belt is not
quite impossible-that the tiny star has
since those days actually left off shin
Ing, but still we see II In our sky be-
cause the rays which started while 1t
yet shone are arriving moment by mo-
ment, telling US the story Of what the
star was like hundreds Of years ago,
before 1t parted with Its brightness.
Perhaps, again, We are examining
through a large telescope faint and
farotf nebula "a mass Of whirling
gases the light of which has taken,
say, 10000 years to get there, We see
what the nebula was like in prehistoric
ages. 1t may since then have lessened
In size and changed In shape. 1t may
now wear very different aspect, and
men looking from earth 10000 years
hence will be able to see what that
nebula was like in our days. All these
things help us to understand what the
immensity Of the stellar system is,
and, yet more, to imagine dimly what
the measurement and extent of all
creation must be If any such star sys-
tens float side by side throughout the
vast domains of space. - Chambers

The Art of Not Hearing.

The art Of not hearing should be
learned by all. There are so many
things which 1t is painful to hear, very
many Of which IL heard will disturb
the temper, corrupt simplicity and
modesty, detract from contentmen,
and happiness, II a man falls into q
violent passion and calls all manner OF
names at the first words we should
shut our ears and hear no more. II in
q quiet voyage Of life we find ourselves
caught In one Of those domestic whirl.
winds OF scolding we should shut our
ears as a sailor would furl his sail and
making all tight, scud before the gale
II hot, restless man begins to infame
our feelings we should consider what
mischief the fiery sparks may do in
our magazine below, where our temper
Is kept, and instantly close the door.
If all the petty things said of man by
needless and Ill natured idlers were
brought home to him he would become
a mere walking pincushion stuck full
of sharp remarks. If we would be hap
py when among good men we should
open our ears, when among bad men
shut them. II Is not worth while to
hear what our aeighbors say about our
children, what our rivals say about our
business. our dress or our affairs.

1t requires no very profound knowl.

that the pronunciation of the language
has undergone vast change during

1t Is that In many well known passages
of Shakespeare the very rhythm Of the

goold and that china was clancy dur

Dreading even fools. by hatterers be-
