If all who hate would love US, and all
our loves were true
The stars that shine above US would
brighten in the blue,
If cruel words were kisses and every
scowl smile,
A better world than this is, would hard
" be worth while.
If wampum belts would untighten to
meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten above
the grave of greed.
IF those who whine would whistle, and
those who lang,lish laugh;
The rose would rout the thistle and the
grain out run the chaf.
If hearts were only jolly, if grievings
were forgot,
And tears and melancholy were Things
that now are not,
Then love would kneel to duty and all
the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty, cream WILL
in dream.
If men would cease to worry ana women
cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury whatever had to
die;
If neighbor spoke to nelghoor as love
demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber' the 'pea'
stay on the wall.
Then every day would glisten and every
eye would shine;
And the Great Spirit would stop to lis
ten and life would be divine.

painting of the latter exploit, so far
as accuracy is concerned, is about the
absurdest fiction that ever became
established.
MI. Edison believes that with the
moving pictures he can teach almost
anything in school except arithmetic
Maybe he is little overoptimistic
And there is another important point
which he does not discuss, and tina,
Is the effect of the moving pictures
upon the eyes. The constant flicker
IS excessively trying to most of US
and it is absolutely necessary that
1t moving pictures are introduced into
the schools. it shall be made certain
that this constant vibration does no,
have any i'll effect upon the sight Of
the pupils"

Flight To The Moon Likely.


According to Garrett P. Serviss, the
astronomer and writer, who sailed for
France yesterday. it will not be many
years before the avitators will fly to
the moon.
II begin to think seriously, but not
too seriously. now that we have achiev-
ed the navigation of the air by mech
anical means, that there only remains
the necessity of providing air to
breathe and things to eat for men to
60 to the moon" said Mr.. Serviss.
"But we need new motive force
Electrical propulsion hints what that
force will be. We have got to over
come gravity. and there are only two
forces which overcome gravity under
certain conditions-pressure of light
and electricity.
"The first flying machine to the
moon will be based on the principal
of the pith ball that flies away from
the conductor Of an electrical machine
When this has been accomplished there
only remains to be done what modern
chemistry certainly can achieve-that
is. to fir a strong vessel-a spherical
vessal-with enough air and food to
sustain man during the fight"
