The Torch Of Civilization.

In the history Of civilization nrst one
nation arises and becomes the torch
bearer and then another takes the
torch as 1t becomes stronger, the
stronger always pushing the weaker
aside and becoming In its turn the
leader. Each nation that has borne the
torch Of civilization has followed some
path peculiarly its own. Egyptian,
Syrian. Persian. Greek, Roman, Frank,
all had th f. ideal Of pOwer-order and
progress directed under supreme au-
thority. maintained by armed organi-
zatios We Anglo-Saxons bear the
torch Of civilization because we pos
sess the principles Of civil liberty, and
we have the character, or should have
the character. which our fathers have
transmitted 10 us, with which to up
hold II. If we have not, then be sure
that with the certainty Of a law OF
nature some nation-lt may be one or
1t may be anOther-already knocking at
our doors, will push us from the way
and take the torch and bear It onward,
and we shall go down.-Thomas Mel
son Page.

COURAGE and Courtesy.

1t is recorded Of General Sheridan
that he was once asked who, In his
opinion, was the most reliable OF the
corps commanders, and he unhesitat-
ingly answered, General Hancock. He
said, "If l wanted a man to stay
where / put him, IL located him at
night and wanted to find him right
there In the morning, I'd select Han
cock" And then further Sheridan
said:
For genuine politeness and gentle
regard for women Hancock was in
comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came
into his room twenty times In hall
an hour he would always stand up"
There is a compliment indeed. The
bravest commander was the most
courteous to women, and, what was
best of all, he included his own wife
among the objects of his courtesy
That is something many men forget
they are courteous to all women ex
cept to their own wives.-OhiO State

Classification of Stars.

In classifying stars astronomers rec
ognize six degrees Of magnitude, but
the term relates to radiance or bril-
liaDcy rather than to size. Although
the classification IL somewhat arbi-
trary, yet each degree Of magnitude Is
approximately two and half times as
brilliant as star Of the next magni-
tude below. Then, too, each magnitude
Is about three times more numerous
than the one which precedes II. Be-
ginning with the brightest, there are
visible without glass about twenty
stars Of the first magnitude, about six
ty-flve OF the second magnitude, nearly
200 Of the third magnitude, over 400 OF
the fourth magnitude, about LOO Of
the fifth and over 5000 Of the sixth.
The total number OF stars that can be
seen by the unaided eye is about 5000,
but not all at one time. This takes no
account Of the millions, perhaps hun
dreds Of millions, I'm regions of space
that cannot be reached by the unaided

Hot Winds.

The sirocco blows hot from the high
lands OF north Africa and falls on the
Mediterranean as far as Malta. The
salano jumps like windy fireball
from the heat Of the Sahara desert and
lands flatfooted In Spain. The harmat-
tan blows hot Sahara dust far into the
Atlantic and gives nosebleed and
makes skin and lips parch and crack,
while furniture and ship timbers groan
and crack and scream In an agony OF
droughty despair. The khasmin blows
Sahara's ancient dust into Egyptian
eyes every fifty days. The pamperos
periodically blow down into Buenos
Aires out Of the unexplored desert
highlands Of Brazil, and the blowing
causes suicides and murders to be more
common and wounds to break out
afresh, with heavy death rate. Pam
peros pass away In a second, leaving
the air fine.-Exchange.
