directly responsible for the appearance
Of the circus in this city. 1t was the

The ThInqs That Count.

What, when our time comes, does II
matter whether we have Jared dainti-
ly or not. whether we have worn soft
raiment or not, whether we have "a
great fortune or nothing at all, wheth-
er we shall have reaped honOrs or been
despised. have been counted learned or
ignorant as compared with how we
may have used that talent which has
been intrusted TO us for the Masters
service? What shall it matter, when
eyeballs glaze and ears grow dull, If
out of the darkness may stretch a
hand and into the silence may come a
voice: well done, thou good and faith
full servant. Thou hast been faithful
over few things. | will make thee
ruler over many things. Enter thou

Carried Il Through.

A teacher was one day explaining TO
her class the degrees of comparison Of
adiectives. To make sure she was un-
derstood she called on each pupil in
turn to give comparatives and super
latives of adjectives which she named
and got good answers until she asked
one little fellow to name the compare
tive degree of sick"
After thinking a moment he said,
Worse"
The answer puzzled the teacher, be-
cause, although 1t was not the one she
wanted, the pupil had given a compar-
alive. She decided she could best
show him his error by letting him go
on and asked sweetly, well, If worse
is the comparative Of sick what would

Refraction of LIGHT.

Refraction plays many magical tricks
with mems eyes. 1t is responsible for
the extraordinary phenomenon called
mirage. which has excited the wonder
of mankind in every age. Owing to
differences of temperature, barOmetric
pressure, etc. in adjacent parts of the
atmosphere. the refraction is some
times capriciously varied SO that the
most abnormal sights are seen. Parts
Of the earth seem detached and set
afloat. Ships are visible, upside down,
in the sky; objects lying behind hills
are beheld apparently lifted above
them; lakes of cleaning water, sur
rounded by palm trees and refreshing
vegetation, spring into view in the
midst of sandy deserts; unknown cities,
with towers and pinnacles. make their
appearance suspended In the air; aerial
animals appear. browsing in illusory
pastures; professions Of men and
horses are seen. marching or galloping
where no foot has ever trod-such are
some OF the recorded marvels that the
mirage has produced.-NewY York Jour
nal.
