A Few Echoes

And now for a few of the echoes of
the Corners good deeds!
THE inmates of this almshouse request
space to acknowledge the graciousness of
the Corner and the Cornerites. Truly
they are Gods own people, They have
done so much to bring light into our
gloomy lives. We have been abundantly
supplied with literature, and two phono-
graphs have been furnished us, with a
few records. "A few more would be well
come, but we are thankful for those we
have. l think / told you once before
some of the inmates cannot read or write,
and music keeps them In good humor
and there is less quarreling. A few good
friends also kindly remembered us on
Christmas, making that day one long to
be remembered by us. The kind interest
displayed and the good, cheering letters
received have been very helpful and in
spring. And that dark, gloomy feeling
of nobody cares that had us in its clutch
is now all gone, and in its place we
hold sweet sense of gratitude that God
is good to give us a glimpse of His ennis
saries. We have formed many acquaint-
ances on paper that we value highly, and
our prayer is that each one In return may
receive many blessings.

Sir Robert Ball.

In the death of Sir Robert Ball at
the age of seventy-three science loses
one of those rare interpreters who
bring her wonders within the compre-
hension of the multitude. Like the
late Lord Avebury (Sir John Lub-
bock). Sir Robert Ball had a faculty
for simple writing which he employ
ed in the production of such works
as THE Story Of the Heavens Star
land" 'In Starry Realms" and I'm
the High Heavens" These books prob
ably did more than any other Of the
kind to stimulate the study of astron-
omy and make it popular. The people
of this generation owe a large debt
to Sir Robert Ball. The debt was
freely acknowledged in his own coun-
try, where he received substantial rec
ognition from the government, from
scientific societies, from schools and
universities. 1t has been less freely
but still sufficiently acknowledged in
this country, where his books have
sold well, and where he was a most
welcome and appreciated guest on
more than one occasion.-Brooklyn

Hard Test.

Fred Poor of the supply department
of the postoffice has been committing
this winter between here and town
just north of Lawrence. One day,
wearied from late business engage
ment the night before, he fell asleep
in the seat and was in sound slumber
when the train passed the bridge in
sight of the falls at Lawrence. An en-
thusiastic fellow passenger, going over
the road for the first time, was so in
terested at the sight of the splashing
water that he thought it a pity the
young man should be deprived Of he
opportunity to witness the scene. And
so he awakened Poor out of sound
sleep that he might behold it. Consid-
ering that he had seen the falls twice
daily for months, it required rare
summoning of amiability to look
pleased. But he did so.
