OUR CLASSMATE EDLA.

Tn first member of our dear class
has departed,
She has gone to her heavenly home.
From husband, parents, sisters and
brothers she has parted,
To live in that everlasting home.
We weep when we think Of this
dear one,
Who so early in life had to go.
But we know it was Gods will only
That took her from these sorrows
below.
She now among angels is singing
Those beautiful songs of love.
And soon we will hear their voices
ringing;
We that so sadly are weeping here
below.
This is for us all fair warning
That soon we all must be ready
To go to that land where there is
always morning,
And no sorrow, sickness or pain.
Dear ones, left behind, cease your
weeping;
Your Edla is now on that beautiful
shore,
Ready to meet her dear ones for
the last meeting,
Where there is no parting any more.
--Hilda Rasmussen.

ODE TO OUR CLASSMATE.

In the merry youth of life
Comes time for us to say
A sad farewell to her whose strife
Was laid to rest one sunny day.
In our midst she was treasure;
In our class she held the measure;
In her home she was a pleasure.
In the heavenly home she now
abides.
She has left a vacant place
In our class and in her home;
But her smiles and sayings still
roam
Among us as we think Of her.
She has found resting place
above,
= Where she now awaits our coming,
And with the choir robed in love,
She sings to Him the Praise.

across the heavens, bearing the Sup and the Crow on it's back. The star c of the latter constellation is a beautiful double, the companion being of a deep blue color. The bright winter stars are very near the ground, and will soon wholly disappear. but rising in the east we see for for the first time the beauti- full pair of stars D and E which make up the balances. These used to mark the claws of the Scorpion. As the weeks go on this, the most striking of the mid summer groups. will mount higher and higher in the sky until by July it will be exactly south. It may be remembered that the tail of the Scorpion extends into the Milky Way. That half of the Milky Way which has been with us dur ing the winter is now slowly sinking to- ward the west and by next month the slow turning of the sphere will begin to bring the other half into view.
 The star marked D is bright naked eye double Tra observer will find other most interesting doubles at the stars marked F, H, J. K, l., M, N and R. Of these tfie stars at K, l., M and R are visible in a small telescope or field glass; The double at K is one of the most cele- brated in the heavens. The part which the small star follows about the larger one is shown in Fig. ?: 194 years are re- qured to make the complete revolution.

PAUL VILLlERS'PARIS LETTER

the famous cafes and resorts of the gay world gained for Paris the reputation Of being the widest and most amusing city on earth.
 Valentin de Desosse tValentin the Bone less) was a contemporary of those other famous dancers. Clodoche, flageolet and the women, La Goulue, Rayon dor. Grille q Egout, La Sauterelle and Mimi Patte- en-I air, the famous quadrilllsts, high kickers and the original dancers of that extraordinary chorographic folly, the "can-can."
 Valentin was the last real dancer of the can-can. He deserved his sobriquet for his extravagant postures, his frantic agility, wonderful suppleness and aston ishing pirouettes were such as nightly to asound the onlookers, and nothinlS like them has ever been seen since.
 The dancer, whose real name was Jules Renaudin, retired over twenty years ago, when age began to creep on him, and re- tired to Seaux, where few dreamed that the little, thin grey-haired gentleman was the greatest terpsichorean artist of by gone age and once the wonder of Paris
 Honore Frasonard had been dead just one hundred years last year, and a statue in honor of him Is to be erected in a few days at his native town of Grasse, Apes Harltimes, in the south of France. which, appropriately enough, is the home of the flower and scent industry of the whole of France.
 Fragonard the most exquisite of all the French Little Masters" or painters of gallant subjects of the eighteenth century which counted among them men like Char din. the greatest of still life artists; La touche. the man who only painted beau- tful women and refused a princess as sitter because she was not beautiful enough; Lancret and many others have immensely appreciated in value of late years, and large number of wealthy Americans, including Mir. Pierpont Nor gan, now possess genuine examples of the work of this master of the dainty, who was always charming if sometimes a little free.
 At the Cronier sale eighteen months ago "Le Billet Doux," by Fragonard, fetched the highest price yet attained for speci- men of this artists work. French people are nothing If ont artistic, and Grasse is particularly proud of the great genius who Is it's son.

 Is it worth while having any man. ners, and what are manners for save to be forgottenY That seems to be the young mans idea of showing off," said a girl to her companion in a Broadway car yes- terday afternon, after an old woman had entered. Not man had galalntry enough to offer seat to her. Glanclng about with whitening scorn the girl arose. With the "queenly manner which she had read was dreadfully uncommon nowadays she touched the newcomer on the arm. Wont you take my placer" she asked. Instead of showing the gratitude expect ed the elderly person-who offered living proof of the advance in the arts of ar- tificiality-- lifted her too well outlined eyebrows and flashed glance that ought to have killed. "I am not old," said she, in voice that sounded through the car. Why do you offer me your seat? Keep 1t yourself" The girl sat down in con- fusion amid much laughter. No wonder people lose manners, when politeness gets a reward like that" she whispered.

 BY PROF. DOOLITTLE.

In the warm, pleasant evenings which have now come the observer will find much that is of interest in the sky. The heavens are full of the beautiful con- stellations. each of which has it's own history and store of legends. while with in the boundaries of each group there is a multitude of interesting objects whose examination with a small telescope is fascinating and absorbing study.
 Overhead there shines out the Great Dipper, with it's wealth of nebulas, dou- ble stars and clusters, and between this and the Lesser Bear there winds the Dragon, that enormously long, faint group stretching OCT half the sky" which, because it never sets, was to the ancients an emblem of eternal vigilance. The star at A is a beautiful double in small telescope and near it Is the little Alcor, or the Faint One, long celebrated in astronomical folk lore. The Arabs used this object as a test of keen vision, though it is not now very difficult. To the Greeks it was the Lost Pleiad who wandered here from her sisters, but from the Germans comes the still more beau tiful legend that this faint star is a wagoner who in reward for a charitable act forever drives his bright chariot through the heavens.
 At B is the so-called Runaway star, a faint little object not quite bright enough to be visible to the naked eye but which is rushing through our universe of stars with such velocity that the combined backward pull of all the other stars can never bring it to rest Where it comes from and what gave it this great speed we may never know, but it will doubtless

Fear to Admit Identity.

From the Boston Herald.
 It's really alarming how hard it is getting to be nowadays to get a person to admit his identity to a stranger" said a business man the other day. Now, I have perfectly legitimate line which draws me to a middle class of people and those who are on the edge of so- called society. l go to their places of business. Some of them I know by sight. I go ur to them and ask if MT. So-and- So Is in, knowing al the time he is the man 1 am looking for. Half the time the man will reply: NO. he's out just now, but I will take the message"
 "When he finds out my business he gen erally laughingly admits his identity and says Inc thought l was a representative of So-and-So. I suppose this is the re- suit of the modern way of living on the instalment plan, with collectors at our heels"

continue on it's lightning journey, neither hastening nor slaekening, until it shall have passed entirely through our uni verse and into the great space beyond. This star is so far away that it's light occupies thirty-seven years in coming to us It is moving 200 miles a second, velocity great that in spite of it's inn mense distance it appears to move over the sky as far as the distance across the moon in 250 years. In 600 years this mo- ton will have taken it into the constel- lation Coma Berenices.

of the interior rises we can only specu- late. In a telescope the outer surface is seen to have granulated appearance as if made up of innumerable luminous clouds floating in the surrounding in- tensely hot gases.
 There are therefore masses of intensely material always streaming outward from the center which. as they reach the sur face become cooler and denser and then rush toward the center again. Sometimes they are seen to shoot outward from the SUI with explosive violence, moving some times even 200 miles second By such outbursts the pressure from below is re- lieved and the cooler surface material sinks at the points of least pressure This down rush of cooler material is what forms sun spot When the force of the explosion is expended and the hot gases are temporarily no longer thrown out to great heights in the vicinity to cool ana Tall down again the sun spot disap- pears
 Every eleven years, for some cause not yet fully understood. the spots are un- usually numerous. The present year is such time of unusual spots. They will be seen stretching entirely across the sun somewhat as in Fig. 4. It may be added that they will have not the slight
 
 either the heat or the rainfall of the earth. Magnetic disturbances and Auro- rss will, however, probably be somewhat me , frequent during their continuance
 Comets.
 There are several quite faint comets in the sky, but none which can be seen except with large telescope. One of these has attracted some attention be- cause of the prediction that the earth may rass through its tail As yet the measures of the comet are too rough to enahle us to say whether this is so or not, but if the rather improbable event does occur it will probably only attract the attention of those who are especially interested in astronomy. The tails of comets, though sometimes even fifty or on hr ndred millions of miles long. are the most attenuated bodies known The weigh of the largest comet, tail and all is certainly less thai. one ne-hundred thousaDdth that of the earth. The tail is so rare that even the faintest stars shine through it. Should the earth pass through the tail of comet some slight evidence of fine dust particles might be- corle evident through unusual sunsets but even this is uncertain. If the earth should encounter the head of the comet, however, we would doubtless hava a mag nificent meteoric display. It has been computed that this may be expected to occur on an average of about one time every fifteen million years.
