Matter Merely Changes, but Does Not
 Cease to Exist.
 When a candle burns it is not de- stroyed. What seems like destruction is merely change. Any one can prove this for himself by very simple ex- pertinent.
 Take q glass tube and fit cork into each end. Bore some holes ill the lower cork, one of them ill the middle large enough to hold d candle. Bend small CT glass tube to U shape, fill it with small pieces of caustic soda and cork one end. Now connect the two cylin- ders by small glass tube through the corks. Insert the candle through the lower cork and suspend the whole ap paratus from one beam of a chemical balance. Weigh it carefully.
 Connect the free end of the U tube to an aspirator so as to establish uni. form current of air through the tubes. Remove the candle, light it and in stantly reinsert it. Let it burn down until entirely consumed. Now reweigh the apparatus. You will find that it actually weighs more than 1t did be- fore the candle was burnt!
 What had happened? The carbon and hydrogen of which the candle was com posed have been separated, have drawn oxygen from the air and combined with it, forming water and carbon diOxide or carbonic acid gas. The caustic soda has absorbed the carbon dioxide and made sodium carbonate and has also caught the water. The extra weight is simply that of the oxygen taken out of the air.
 This is practical illustration of the great truth that nothing is ever de- stroyed. Matter changes. but does not cease to e1ist St Thomas Aquinas taught this in the thirteenth century, thus as in so many other ways antici- pating modern scientists-and some of the ancient Greek philosophers under stood it. It has only been proved ex perimentally in recent years.-New York World.

THE AUTHENTIC LEE.
His Two Master Spirits Were Lofty Pride and Fierce Enthusiasm.

His Two Master Spirits Were Lofty
 Pride and Fierce Enthusiasm.
 Under the habitually unrufied com posture of that h ean of reserve and dominated, as believe. br two master spirits. lies the authenti' Lee. And what were those master spirits which, blind to facts and deaf to reason. drove him on from Farmville? Were they creations of his own? No. not at all. Nature herself had planted them. And what were they? One, an all pervading' unconscious pride. pride not sordld or arrogant. but lofty: the other. diff fused through his whole being and puls' ing ill every vein. burning. even fierce. enthusiasm.
 These. in my judgment. were the ln- grained. controlling temperamental ua,ities in Robert F. Lee which deter minel his fate. Tie former could not stand the humiliation of being over thrown completely in cause he be- lieved right: the latter converted him at danrerS first challenge. as was again and again displayed in the field. into a r-3mnt and inveterate fighter.
 As. for instance. at Antietam, al
 though he had met and stood off Me Clellan. vet with such carnage that 1t
 was in efet d defeat. still for day
 after the brittle he held his ground arlong his dead. re ;olutely challenging his adversary to come on if he dared. So. too. he %toHd for a day at Gettys- burg after his fri"ht"ul repulses. invit- ing Meade to atta>k. and when with his bleeding army he reached the food ed Potomac. with every bridge swept away. undismayed he turned his back on the raging stream and. planting his colors defiantly bade the Army of the Potomac to strike.
 Who can forget. too. how quickly he accepted Rockers gage of battle in the Wilderness and how year later-the violetS were just in bloom again for the first time on the blood stained ground of Gettysburg-he plunged at Grant?
 No eagle that ever flew, no tiger that ever sprang. had more natural cour age. and I will guarantee that every field he was on. if you ask it about

 The Staffordville reservoir has for some weeks been very low, and the mills without steam power (Basch's s Phoenix and Riverside) have been obliged to stand idle considerable of the time. The Phoenix mill has ar ranged to put in steam power in the spring.
