LORE OF THE METEOR.
Divine honors Have Been Paid the
Wanderers Of the Sky.

1t is only within the last hundred
years that science has taken up the
study of the meteor seriously, but
in all ages its titful CLEAN has cap
tured the imagination of men.
In Asia in early times a fragment
was picked up which probably bore
a very rude resemblance to u hu-
man figure. 1t vas looked upon as
an image of Diana. sent down from
Jupiter. A great temple vas built
at Ephesus in its honor-the Tenn
pie of Diana of the Ephesians.
There from all parts of Asia people
focked to worship a m~eteorite.
The Romans, too, at certain
epochs of their history, fell under
the spirit of the meteorite. Aeneas,
the mythic founder of the race, is
said to have carried one with him
to Italy, and m Of the strangest
pictures in the wonderful gallery of
Roman history is that of the En-
peror Heliogabalus paying divine
honors to his meteoric god, for the
head of the imperial city was high
priest in a temple whose god was a
rude fragment of meteoric stone.
A magnificent temple was built
for it in Rome. Every morning
hecatombs Of bulls and sheep were
offered, frkins of the richest wines
we're poured out and much costly
incense was burned. Every year
the metsoric god was carried with
gorgeous ceremony to another tenn
pie in the suburbs. The chariot in
which it rode glittered with gold
and precious stones and was drawn
by six white horses in golden trap
pings. The emperor himself held
the reins. walking backward, 80 as
to keep his eyes fixed on his god.
On either side the people ran, bear
ing torches and throwing garlsnds
Of flowers as they passed.
On another occasion a meteoric
stone played an important part in
Roman history. 1t fell in ancient
times in Phrygia and was worship
ed at Pessinus by the Phrygians
and Phoenicians as Cvbele, "the
mother of the gods" To it had
been ascribed the victory OF the Ro-
mans over Hannibal in the first
Punic war. So when in later years
the Carthagenian general had cross
ed the Alps and maintained his place
in Italy for twelve years the trou-
bled Romans wished for the won
derful stone.
They had learned from the Sybil-
line books that an enemy might be
expelled from Italy if the stone
ere brought to Rome. So they
went to King Attalus, asking that it
might be sent. 1t was earned with
much ceremony to the Temple of
Victory on the Palatine hill, and,
Ire enough, Hannibal was present.
~ compelled to return to Africa.
Having surmounted incredible diff
culties, he was vet forced to yield to
a meteorite !-London Globe.

old DAYS We Remember.

The old days we remember
How swiftly did they glide,
While all untouched BY worldly care
We wandered side BY side!
In those pleasant days, when the suns
last rays
Just fingered on The hill,
Or the moons pale light with the COM
ing night
Shone DER orr pathway still.
The old days we remember
Oh, there's nothing like them nov,
The glow has faded from our hearts,
The blossoms from the Dough:
In the chill of care. midst worldly air,
Perehance we are colder grown,
For stormy weather, since we roamed
together,
The hearts 81 both have known.
The old days we remember
OH clearer sh0ne the sun,
And every star looked brighter far
Than they ever since have donei
On the very streams there fingered
CLEANS
Of light ne'er seen before,
And the running brook q music took
Our souls can hear ne more.
The old days We remember
OH could we but 90 back
TO their quiet hours and tread once
more
Their bright, familiar track
Could We picture again what we pictured
then
OF the sunny world that lay
From the green hillside and the waters
wide,
and cur glad hearts far away
