marked preference Tor the Milky Wav Never

obscure, and though Nature has given us hints
as % the former history ot their origin she
has SO tar kept the actual facts secret. Yet
IN al probability the spectroScopc which has
succeeded IN revealing o. Us So MANY stellar
facts, may n the course OF time unravcI this

We have no doubt however from the reve-
Iatons already made Nv means of the spectre

blue. yellow red and ruby color till thev finally
fade from view such Is doubtless the fate
that must IN the course of time overtakc the
glowing orbs that people the star depths
The flowers ot the sky VII as surely fade as the

Had Enouuh.

III is charming little fellow of
4 four, pretty In his ways, good to
look at, but as naughty as they are
made. He sat on the bottom step,
kicking his fat legs and refusing ut
terly to obey his father, who had told
him to go upstairs several times m
increasing degrees of severity. After
few minutes of this clashing of wills
his eXasperated young parent picked
him up somewhat suddenly, carried
him up and set him down very firmly
on chair in his room, went out and
shut the door. Silence reigned Not
a sound from him for at least half an
hour. Then the door was opened, and
a sweet little voice called out: "F'a-
Their, have you got over your tantrum
yet? For 1 should like to come down."
