The difficulty here is to know what not
to teach. The paragraph Is fairly packed
with sced-thoughts. Selection is impera-
tive. Matters OF comparative unimpor-
lance. but which II once mooted might
lead to time-wastng debate, should be
omitted.
The majesty of the mosaic account Of
creation may well be shown by using the
crude heather cosmogonies as n back
ground. The orderly and gloriouus pro-
gress of creation should prompt the ex-
clamaton. 20 Lord how manifold are

Mans dominion over nature was never
greater than at the present. He Is wrest-
ing her secrets and subduing her forces to
his use.
The dignity of mans position in ma

Primary teachers have fascinating
task in discovering and banishing the
crude and amusing notions about earth.
air, sky, water. stars, etc, with which
they find little minds packed. A taking
object-lesson may be given by laying an
orange on the table, and having an apple
suspended with a cord revove about the
orange. Orange for sun: apple for earth.
What makes day and night, the year
and the seasons, may thus be illustrated.
Earth may be described as house,
beautiful and comfortable, which God has
built for His chi.dren--a cellar full OF

Night Is the time for rest
How sweet, when labors Close
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain Of repose,
Stretch the tired limbs. and lay the head
Upon our delightful bed!
Night is the time for dreams:
The gay romance of life,
When truth that is. ard truth that seems,
Blend in fantastic strife;
All! visions less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are!
Night is the time for toll:
To plough the classic field.
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy burrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sang or heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep:
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of Memory where sleep
The Joys of other years;
Hopes that angels at their birth,
But persisted young like things of earth
Night is the time to watch:
Der oceans dark expanse,
70 hail the Pleiades, catch
The full moons earliest glance
That brings into the homesick mind
All we have loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care:
Brooding hours misspent,
To the sceptre of Despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus, midst his slumberng host,
Startled by Caesars stalwart ghost.
Night is the time to
When, from the eye the soul
Takes flight: and, with expanding views,
Beyond the starry pole
Describes athwart the abyss of night
The dawn OF uncreated light.
Night is the time to pray:
Our Saviour oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away;
So will his followers d.
Steal from the thrOng hauntS untrOd.
And hold communion there with God.
Night is the time for death:
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease,
Think of heavens bliss aud give the sign
To parting frends;-such death be mine.

AS Much as $4,000 Has Been Paid

Great Value.

Washington. Ten thousand dollars
seems a fabulous price to pay for an
autograph, yet men who can get for
nothing the autograph of the great
est potentates on earth will willingly
exchange that amount in gold for the
signature of William T. Vernon OF
the United States
Collectors of the signatures of ia
nous men, who will pay high prices
for single specimens of those OF
George Washington. Napoleon Bona
parte or Oliver Cromwell, feel their
ambition realized If they can connect
with one OF each, but for the auto
graph of Vernon they have a hunger
that ends only with death.
And the hunger is universal. Men
and women who ordinarily care moth
ing for the autographs craved by
collectors will exchange their all for
those of Vernon. Lives are spent in
drudgery, men will die. cheat. steal,
fight, kill and brave all death in a
thousand ways with no hope and no
purpose save that of acquiring as
many as possible OF these sigma

Devils Tower in Wyoming.

Devils Tower" the most peculiar
formation in the west. Two thousand
acres surrounding the tower have been
withdrawn from settlement and a
small national park has been created,
with the tower in the center.
DEVILS tower is a chimney-like
mountain of rock rising 500 feet
above the surrounding country, and
for almost 500 feet is nearly perpen-
dicular and devoid of vegetation or
growth. The top of the tower is
large enough to play game of base
ball upon and is covered with soil
formed from disintegrated rock.
Two men are known to have climbed
the tower at the risk Of their lives.
One of these, Jack Rogers. an old
cowboy, used a number of lassos.
which he threw over projecting rcints
q" rocks, afterward climbing TIE ropes
The other climber was an engineer of
the Homestake mining company

Music In EnaIand.

English musical genius has never
run in the direction of opera. 1t lacks
the dramatic element; melody, on the
one hand, and massive counterpoint
on the other, are rather its distin-
gushing features. To suit the Eng.
lish taste, Handel turned his mighty
genius from opera to oratorio, thereby
founding that particular vehicle OF
musical expression with which 1t may
be claimed that English idiosyncrasy
has enriched the world.-London

Lovers of good music were in their
element at Professor Barker's recital
last night.
His pupils performed to the de-
light of large gathering of Wenat-
chez people, and the professor him
self could not have desired his stu
dents to make better showing.
The skill of one or two of his young
err pupils was revelation to many
present, who can recall the time not
many years ago when there were per-
haps but one or two pianos in the
whole Wenatchee valley. To enjoy
the II Trovatore Fantasia played by

is privilege denied many larger

boast of, and the town can we'll be

complish among the children under

spare but a few minutes last night,
