The Absent Mindedness of Genius.
From the Dundee Advertiser.

The Observation-Disclosures of great
thinkers Is a well known phenomena.
When Morse had completed his won
derful telegraphic system he confessed
to a difficulty which appeared to
him almost insurmountable. "As
long as poles be used" he said to
a friend one day, sit Is easy. But what
must be done when we come to a
bridge? We cannot use poles there,
and the wire would break of its own
weight without some support" "Well,'
replied the friend, why not fix the
wires TO the bridge?" Morse looked at
him thoughtfully for a moment and
Their exclaimed: Il never thought OF
that. It's the very thing" This in
stance of mental concentration on one
leading idea to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers is almost as remarkable as that
told of Sir Isaac Newton, who cut a
hole in his study door TO allow his ia
vorite cat to come and go freely, and
then cut a smaller one for the use of
her kitten.

Who Columbus Was.
From the Ralttmore sun.

In the afternoon in all the schools a
part of the time was devoted to the
study of the life and deeds of Column
bus.
An amusing reply was given by one
OF the pupils. A teacher had told the
class of the wonderful voyage of Co
lumbus and how he insisted on contin-
uing the oyage after the other men
were clamoring to return. Then she
asked: who was Columbus?" with
the view of hearing how well they had
followed her talk.

The roses crimsoning the air,
Along the garden wall.
Then let the dream and dreamer die.
Whate'er shall be. shall be-
Today will still be thine and mine
To all eternity
And OH, there is no glory. dear,
When all the world Is done,
There is no splendor lasteth out
The sinking of the sun:
There Is no thing that lasts. not one.
When we hav turned TO clay,
But this: you loved me-all the rest
Fades with the world away.
SO little while. so little while,
' This world shall last for us.
There is no way TO keep 1t, dear.

There Is no a may stop h sand
From flowing fast away.
But who turns the whole glass Town
And dreams tits all today.

Republican Government in Our Schools.

The most revolutionary note yet
sounded in the management OF our
public schools is the new agitation for
a completely republican form OF gov
eminent in which all Just powers are
derived from the consent OF the pupils.
Miss Bertha III. Smith writes OF this
interesting subject In the Atlantic
Monthly. In large schools, she says,
every sort OF question OF discipline
arises. There Ia stealing, there is self
fshness of every kind. there is bullying
N browbeating on the part OF older
and stronger boys. and the fear OF force
ON the part OF the weaker, besides all
the petty annoyances, from note scrib-
bling to the kicking of tin ans down
the aisle during class. AS homes are
becoming less and less homes in the
real sense, the responsibility of mould
Ing tho character OF boys and girls Is
being more and more shifted to the
public schools. and perhaps at no time
In the history OF public schools has
school discipline required more judg-
ment. more trmness, or more tact, than
today. And the habitual optimist may
score 4 point, when, instead OF revert
ing 10 tho ~pedagogic principle OF N
liskin,' no learnin'," there is put In
practice the democratic dogma of gov
eminent OF the people, for the people,
by the people. The authority of these
self government committees does not
vfop short of actual suspension, al
though I'm taking this last step h
principal is invariably consulted. But
the greatest strength OF self-govern-
menf work lies in the fact that the Of

We sigh for the touch of vanished hand
The hand of a friend most dear,
Who has passed from our side to the shadow,
land
But what of the hand that is near?
To the iving's touch is the soul inert
That weeps DER the silent urn?
For the love that lives in our hand alert
10 make some sweet return?
Do we answer back in apfretful tone,
When life's duties press us sore?
Is our praise as full as if they we're gone,
And could hear our praise no more?
As the days go by, are our hands more swift,
For trifle beyond their share,
Than to grasp-for kindly, helpful lift
Tbe burden some one must bear?
We sigh for the touch of a vanished hand
And we think ourselves sincere;
But what of the friends that about us stand
And the touch of the hand that's here?

THE FIRST TEMPTATION.

One Saturday evening, when Susan went, as
usual to Farmer Thomson's inn to receive the price
of her mothers washing for the boarders, which
amounted to S. she found the farmer in the stable
yard.
He was apparently in terrible rage with some
horse dealers, with whom he had been bargaining.
He held in his hand an open pocketbook, full of
notes. and scarcely noticing the child as she made
her request except to swear at her, usual, for
troubling him when he was busy, he handed her
bank note.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan hurried out Of
the gate and, then pausing to pin the money safely
in the folds of her shawl, she discovered that he
had given her two bills instead of She looked
around; nobody was near to share her discovery,
and her first impulse was JOY at the unexpected
prize.

At that moment she remembered that he must
have given it to her by mistake and therefore she
had no right to it. But again the voice of the
tempter whispered: "He gave it, and how do you
know that he did not intend to make you pres
ent Of it2 Keep it; he will never know It, even if
it should be a mistake, for he had too many bills
in that great pocketbook to miss one"
While this conflict was going on In her mind
between good and evil, she was hurrying home as
fast as possible Yet, before she in sight of
her home, she had repeatedly balanced the com
forts the money would buy against the sin of wrong
ing her neghbor.
As she crossed the little bridge over the narrow
creek. before her mothers door, her eye fell upon
rustic seat which she and her mother had often
occupied and where, only the day before, her moth
er had explained to her these words of Scripture:
Whatsoever ye would that men should say to you,

Startled, as if trumpet had sounded in her
ears, she turned suddenly round, and las if flying
from some unseen peril, FASTENED along the road

more at Father Thompson's gate.

THEY HELD THE TRUE SPIRIT.
(Salt Lake observation-disclosures

(Salt Lake neutrality-suspicious.
Rather interesting incident occurred at a
Catholic church in San Francisco on a recent oc-
casion. A number of priests conducted what APP
pears to have been open meeting, and it was at
tended-among others-by several Christian Scien-
fists The priests were arguing for the various
tenets of the church, and one of the Scientists, in
replying-which seems to have been invited-con-
coded the power of the church to forgive sins since
that seems to have been established at the begin
ming, and to have been continued as function of
church power and authority; but the speaker asked
why the power to heal the sick had been forgotten
abandoned?
The priest in charge of the meeting declared
miracles still occurred; that their number was more
necessary in the primitive church. since the need
OF proofs was greater; but that miraculous cures
were still OF frequent occurrence Then he told the
case OF a man healed of paralysis through the me-
dunn of prayers by and with some Catholic friends
the patient himself being non Catholic at the
time The story was impressive. But more pro-
nounced impression followed when stranger stood
up IN the full vgor of manhood in the BODY of the
house, and declared II am the man."
At the conclusion of the meeting the Christian
Scientists gathered around the paralytic restored
and questioned him. They accepted his story. re-
Jolced that he had been healed and gave full Gre
dence to the claims that had been made.
