COMET AND THE ECLIPSE
All C0lfax Out to See the Two
Wonders in Heavens.

People in COlfax have been on the look
out for Halley's comet from its reported
appearance till the climax Of the great
event on Monday night during the eclipse
Of the moon For several evenings pre-
vious the head Of the comet was discOv-
cred in the western sky, but it took q
strong imagination to discover the sem
blance Of tail 1t was reserved for Mon
day night, however, for the wanderer
with it, flashing tail to be plainly dis
cernable, lasting during the eclipse from
3 till 10 o'clock Practically verybody
was out at some vantage point to see
the comet. Crowds Of people, young
and DID, assembled on the cliffs over
looking town and they were well repaid
for the short climb they had to make.
The comet was first discovered at S:15,
but the spectrum did not begin to show
until the earth's shadow had begun to
obscure the moon, when it heightened
until it extended approximately 40 de-
grees across the sky. The tail extended
upward and to the left, practically along
the line Of the comets apparent path
How long it will be seen astronomers are
not agreed, but as it is receding from the
earth at fearful rate Of speed we have
probably gotten our last good view Of it..
However, everybody is satiefed, having
seen the comet, the tail and the eclipse.
The eclipse Of the moon was as much
a subject Of interest az the comet. All
avaIa BILE glasses were brought to bear
Oh the two wonders in the heavens,
many lingering till the last minute The
eclipse Of the moon was total, although
the great orb Of night could be seen be-
cause Of q reddish illumination caused
by the light refracted through the earth 4
atmosphere Tn fact, great streak Of
aurora hung in the heavens for short
time, between the moon and the comets
tail, a refraction probably appearing
fromthe same cause. The atmosphere az
seen in Colfax was almost perfect, only q
few fieecy clouds wandering far to the
southeast, in no way interfering with the
display.
All this may be an incentive to study
more carefully the heavenly bodies, some
thing that the young, particularly,
should not neglect, as they will find il q
never ending source Of satisfaction and
delight.

Nourished by Our Work.


There are a great many things
that count In the work that q man
does besides the mere doing of it.
One of the most important of
those things is the spirit in which
he does it, and another is the way
he speaks Of It. There are some
very good workers who impair
their service by always acting as
If it were q terrible drain Upon
them. They lessen the value of
it by looking at it and speaking
about it as if they were quite
willing to do it, but that neverthe.
less it was a sad depletion of their
powers And they seem to think
that one of the essential elements
of real work is that one should
show the strain of it and sigh
about it a little, But wheL this
attitude becomes habitual it shows
that one has not really appreciated
what service is. 1t is not princi-
pally a drain and depletion; it
is far more food and source of
nourishment to our very life. It
puts back into us quite as much
as it takes away, and, though, one
of the sure incidents of it's weari-.
ness, it is none the less true that
most of the strength and happi-
ness that are in any of US are there
because our work has put them
there.
An English essayist speaks of
friend of his of whom he says
that he never approaches his task
as most men do, signing and
anxious about the mass of it and
wondering how he is ever to get
through with it, but he comes to
it as he would to a full and satis-
flying meal, looking over the days
duties with real relish for them
and thankful for the plentifulness
of what is set before him, glad to
know that there is no likelihood
of there not being enough for him
to do Each unexpected devel-
opement of his business seems to
add to the interest and zest of
