with feeling that kings could receive
no more. And even before this. years
ago, when they were sweethearts-and
they had been sweethearts for long
time-the night before Christmas had
been SO much to them that each lay
awake the greater part Of the night in
order to be up all the earlier in the
morning.
And, after all these memories. here

very i'll. She wouldn't be up in the
morning. No; the house would be
quiet. and she would feel worse be-
cause she could not be up. bright and
happy. a sort of living synonym OF the
day.
His wife called him from his reverie.
He went to her and did her bidding.
She looked up at him with the peculiar
smile of woman who is grateful for
the constant love Of good man. linen
she said in low voice:
"Jack, you look so dreadfully tired.

And she laughed quietly.
Fatigue and care passed from his
mind. He, too, laughed softly and
patted her head.

"You are so tired" persisted his wife.
"Go to bed and have good sleep. The
nurse will take care OF me Tor one

"And, Jack, don't forget to hang up

Playfully he promised and before TO

How he did sleep! There were muf-

had been summoned, and the nurse was

Further Study of Mars.

Photographing through colored
screens is the new method of studying
Mars that has been undertaken by Tx
hofr at the Pulkova observatory. Four
different screens were used-transmit-
ting respectively red, red and orange,
orange and yellow, and greenland in
the 3O-inch equatorial telescope they
produced good photographs of very
small size. The red ard the green fl
ters gave strikingly different results.
On the plates that were exposed under
the red, the continents are much
brighter than the south polar cap,
while the seas are very dark and the
canals are best seen. The pictures
that were taken under the green show
the south polar cap as the brightest
object, and the seas are grayish. A
study OF the polar cap has made it ap-
pear greenish instead of white. The
interesting conclusion has been
reached that at the time the photo
graphs were made the cap was ice in
stead Of snow, and this view has been
confirmed by experiments on the abb
sorption spectrum Of ice and in photo
graphing sand, snow and ice.

leisureIy Moose huntino.

The most leisurely method Of moose
hunting chronicled during the present
season is that pursued by Mars Hill
veteran hunter and woodsman, Humph-
rey Bridges.
Several hours walk from camp
brought him in sight Of hill on which
ne saw what looked like a pronged
stump. He stood five minutes specu-
lating, then crept nearer and looked
again. The object did not move. Creep
ing six or seven rods, he saw the sup
posed stump moving slightly and then
a large tongue Topping alongside the
dark place revealed the identity of
moose.
He aimed for the neck Of the animal
and fired. The moose rose to his feet
and ran. When Bridges reached the
spot where the animal had lain he
found blood. He sat down, filled his
pipe and reasoned that the moose
could not last over an hour. He there
fore walked slowly on. keeping close
to the trail, and found the moose
lying down in lumber road a mile
and half away from the place where
he was shot. The moose reared on
his front legs, but could not pull his
hind legs under him. and half. stood
with head lowered for battle until an
other bullet ended the struggie.-Ken-
nebec Journal.

If you bow to anyone passing by,
do it in this manner: Raise the right
hand to your hat gracefully.
Put your forefinger as far as the
crown. and your thumb under the
Grim, and then raise it from your
head gracefully and easily.
Look at the person you bow to,
and hold your body gently forward.
Hold your left arm straight down
at your side, neither drawing 1t for
ward nor backward.
Move the right leg, if the person
goes by on the right side, and keep
the other firm.
If the person goes by on the left
side. move the left leg, and keep the
right firm.
