Eight minutes, eighteen seconds and
five hundred and sixty-six one-thou-
sandths of second!
At the end of that brief interval Of
time the blue curtain of day would dis
appear as If an almighty hand had
snatched it of, and the dome Of night,
spangled with stars, would instanta-
neously arch the earth. We would be
plunged into darkness SO quickly that
for moment nothing would be visible.
Then the piercing rays Of the stars
would begin to affect our eyes, and aft
er that, gradually, our immediate sur
roundings would dimly emerge from
the gloom. There would he starlight,
but no moonlight, for the moon shines
only with reflected sunlight.
At first the disappearance of the light
would be the thing most troublesome
to us, but as time went on a chill
would begin to creep over the sunless
earth, and out Of the dark and frozen
air, all around the globe, a pallid snow
would descend, as the atmospheric
moisture condensed. When days and
weeks had elapsed the awful cold Of
outer space would chill the atmosphere

back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen, the "Itah'' proper
were the inhabitants of the southern

Of the name, there is the normal leg

must have been pronounced vitalus

and It is easy to recognize in It an al

III 1906 however, the former relations
were renewed, and free importation of
cereals, made necessary by the limited
area Of Andorra, was allowed by
France in return for an annual tribute
of $50 francs.
Andorra is governed by a council of
twenty-four members chosen for four
years by the heads of the communities.
The revenue is derived from lands and
Il few taxes. The manner Of life is
very simple. Every ablebodied male is
liable to military service between the
ages Of sixteen and sixty. The capital

tants. The total population is about
5000 and remains practically station

and inconsistencies of her kind. For
many years she was cook in the War

tsfactory service.
One summer the entire family were
away for two months, and Mr.. Warren
gave Cindy real vacation by paying
her full wages for that time and giving
her the keys to the well stocked store
room.
A few days after the return of the
family Cindy came bristling into Mrs.
Warren's sitting room.
II wants mo- wages" she announced.
"Why, Cindy," exclaimed the sur
prised mistress, you are getting better
pay than any cook I know Of in a fam
lily the size Of ours. You have nice,
comfortable room and good treatment.
Think how kind it was of Mr.. Warren
to give you long vacation with your

True Givinu.

That is no true aims which the hand can
hold.
He gives nothing but worthless gold
Who gives from a sense of duty,
But he who gives but slender mite
And gives to that which is out Of sight,
That thread Of the all sustaining beauty
Which runs through all and doth all unite.
The hand cannot clasp the whole Of his
aims.
The heart outstretches its eager palms,
For a god goes with it and makes it store
