THINK BIG THINGS.

Isn't it true that the only thing
which makes it possible for us to per-
form the daily drudgeries of life is
the hope for better things which
blooms in our hearts?
Hope is romance. Ambition is 70.
nance. All the fine, true inspirations
of life are romantic. Romance leads
to achievement, unless it blossoms in
the mind of a lazy, shiftless creature
who is incapable of action.
The man who leads forlorn hope is
romantic. The hero who gives his life
fighting a dread disease to which he
succumbs, but against which he has
insured humanity, is romantic. Ro.

HORSES HAVE QUICK EARS.

The horse is really one of the best
listeners in the world. He is always
on the alert for sounds which concern
or interest him. When he looks at
anything he turns his care toward it
to observe the better whether any
sound comes from it. If horse is
particularly interested in your driving
of him he always turns his ears back
ward toward you, but if he has no
concern on that subject or if he sees
anything ahead that interests him he
keeps his ears pricked forward. A
horse hears the whinny of another
horse at greater distance than the
average man can hear it.

ELECTIONS AND ATOMS.

Atoms are minute particles of mat
ter, each about one-three-hundredth
part of an inch in diameter. They are
so small that if the earth were made
up of baseballs it would be a fair
model of a drop of water made up of
atoms. The electron is smaller still.
1t has diameter of about one-hun-
dred-thousandth that of an atom, SO
that if an atom were represented by
a sphere 100 yards in diameter the
electrorl would be about the size of a
pins head 1t has been said that the
electrons which form an atom can be
compared to swarm of gnats in a
cathedral or other large building. AS
atoms are made up of electrons, so
molecules are made up of atoms.

NEVER OUT OF SIGHT.

l know a little saying
That is altogether true;
My little boy, my little girl.
The saying is for you.
'ris this, o blue and black eyes,
And gray so deep and bright
No child in all this careless world
Is ever out of sight.
No matter. whether field or glen
Or city's crowded way,
Or pleasure laugh or Iabors hum
Entice your feet to stray;
Some one is always watching you,
And whether wrong or right,
No child in all this busy world
Is ever out of sight.
Some one is always watching you
And marking what you do,
To see if all your childhood's acts
Are honest, brave and true;
And watchful more than mortal kind
Gods angels pure and white,
In gladness or in sorrowing,
Are keeping you in sight.
Oh, bear in mind, my little one,
And let your mark be high.
You do whatever thing you do
Beneath some seeing eye;
Oh, bear in mind, my little one,
And keep your good name bright,
No child upon this round, round

DARKNESS ABOVE THE SKY.

The projectile of the gun with
which the Germans have been Smelling
Paris from distance of seventy-fiye
miles must rise in it's trajectory to
height of twenty-four miles above the
earth. The Scientific American says
it is probable that at that height there
is so little air that the sky loses its
blue appearance, because there is
hardly enough Of it to produce the
refraction of light which gives it it's
luminosity.
IF we could accompany this shell
on it's course" continues the Scientific
American, I'VE should probably find
the sky growing darker and darker,
until it becomes nearly black. In the
black sky the sun would show as a
ball of fire, while the stars which were
not obliterated by the suns light
would also be visible. Below us we
should have the reflection of sunlight
from the earth and from the denser
strata Of the atmosphere"

THE GOD OF MY GARDEN.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Or. James Henderson,

The God of my garden is with me
Every stroke of the rake
That | take,
Every time that | hoe,
Walks in the garden beside me-
No fake!
Is with me
And follows wherever | go.
My patch is but eight feet by thirty
Yet it holds the mightiest God;
And the clod
When it's fever'd and thirsty
Looks up for drink from His hand;
Ever as He had plann'd
Come the showers,
And shining the sun when He sends it,
And rootlet and leaf
Tolls meath it, tho brief
And, at night when the dews
Meath the stars
Settle down, and the bars
OF my garden are drawn,
God surely is there
Till the dawn, .-.Ey.. -.-....... -..z-.-.
And | see
And | know
AS each morning / go
To my garden to weed, and to pray,
He's walking beside me
And, say,
Sweet Father, no one can deny,
Meath Thy beautiful sun
And the sky,
Thou'rt a lover a friend,
And | believe, and see
Life springing to life;
AS for me
I'll walk by Thy side to the end.
