Our sun is a third-rate sun, situated in the milky way, one of myriads of stars, and the milky way is itself one of myriads of sectional star accumula tions, for these seem to be countless, and to be spread over infinity. At some period of their existence each of these suns had planets circling around it, which, after untold ages, are fit for some sort of human being to inhabit them for a comparatively brief period, after* which they still continue for years to circle around without atmosphere, vegetation or inhabitants, as the moon does around our planet. There is noth ing so calculated to take the conceit out of an individual who thinks himself an important unit in the universe as astronomy. It teaches that we are less, compared with the universe, than a col ony of ants is to us, and that the differ ence between men is less than that be tween one ant and another.—London Truth.

ON THE FARM AT THE CLOSE OF DAY O the farmer's boy is bringing Up the cows, But the birus have ceased their swinging On the boughs; He can hear the squirrels chatter, As if something were the matter, "While the chestnuts pitter-patter Through the leaves! While the big, red sun is sinking, While the old cow bell is clinking, He is thinking, thinking, thinking— And he grieves. Far away the peacock's calling To his mate, And the night is falling, falling, For it's late! On the slope the light is dying, High above, the geese are flying, And the wind goes sobbing, sighing, Past the lad t As if in mourning, as if grieving, For some pleasure past achieving Or some error past retrieving— Ah, how sad! Summer's flowers hove departed, And he goes Onward, liome r rd, heavy-hearted, With his woes! There is sadness in the lowing Of the cows and in the flowing Of the water that is going— Going where? On the hill fhe shocks are gleaming Where the sun's last rays are stream ing— And they stand like old men dreaming Sadly there! Ah, the day is dying, dying, And the year Soon with others will be lying In the rear! And the boy goes grieving, grieving, Not for triumphs past achieving, Nor for errors past retrieving Here below! He has had to pass through bramllcs Jn his quest and in the rambles, In his hurryipgs and scrambles — On his toe There's a bruise, and there are scratcheo On his legs in bloody batches!

The following excerpt from Marga ret Maeaulay's little volume on her brother, which was printed In 1801 for private circulation, shows Macaulny's cat-like ability to fall on his feet: "One day Tom said jokingly that there are some things which always inclined him to believe In the predominance of evil in the world.

HINTS FOR LOCAL REPORTERS. Don't Crowd the Unimportant Details to ;the Front. The temptation to crowd unimpor tant detnils to the front is always he fore the reporter for a purely local pa per in n small city. To yield is to lose perspective and to Impair the vivid ness of the story. Local dignitaries, local scenes and local musicians are in view before the real proceedings begin, and the re porter often discusses them at.'some length at the opening of his account of the lecture, or political meeting, or other public function. lie does this partly because it is n habit, partly because lie may feel the need of making copy and has nothing else In sight, and partly because the local people expect to receive this kind of attention. The visiting reporter is more likely to pass over unessential preliminary details and bring out at once the spirit of the meeting and the things of real importance and genuine interest to the render. A close comparison of different re ports of the same events long ago con vinced me that the visiting reporter for an out of town paper, regardless of comparative ability, usually wrote a better story than the man for the home paper who lived on the ground and ap parently had a decided advantage in his knowledge of the place and the people. Why this was the ease it was hard to discover. I could only feci the fact and wonder why it should be so. One night I went to a town fifty miles away and was a visiting report er myself, sitting by the side of tli# man who was doing the meeting for the local paper. We were waiting l'or the beginning of a political debate in which the whole Congressional Dis trict was intensely interested. I looked at the scone, without doing so consciously, from the standpoint of the whole district, and had little to write until the debaters took the plat form and the struggle began. The re porter for the local paper, on the con trary, was busy from the time of his arrival. Ho described the stand, gave the names of the committeemen in charge of its construction, catalogued the local dignitaries seated in public view, and laboriously ground out a compli ment to the band in this fashion: "While waiting for the exercises to begin Professor Gustav ranged his band of fourteen pieces, in their new uniforms, on the platform and played 1 selection from 'Bohemian Girl' which was received with tremendous ap plause. "The band shows remarkable lm provemout of late, and the suits made a handsome appearance. The band re sponded to an encore, giving 'Sweet Summer Days,' with its attractive clarinet solo, which was artistically played by Henry Dunn, formerly of the regimental band nt Fort Crook." I glanced at this copy and the secret of so many of my own failures at homo stood revealed. Not one in a thousand eared for those fourteen band men, even "in their new uniforms," at tliat stage of the proceedings. They want ed to he spared that wait nt the he ginning. They wanted the debaters brought on at once, and the sparks from their clashing forensic swords to brighcen tlic report at the very outset. After it was all over plenty of space could be found nt the tall end of the report for the people on the stand who ought to be mentioned and for the hand that played selections from "Bo hemian Girl" and mnde such a brave appearance in new uniforms.—Michi gan Bulletin.

A blackbird of Upton Village, Berk shire, has given evidence of a quality supposed to belong only to the caged . and trained one—the faculty of imita tion of other songs and sounds than its own, and as such nil accomplishment must ho of Interest to the naturalist, perhaps the Spectator would not think its narrative unworthy of Its pages.

Turquoise Deposits Discovered. It is believed that turquoise mines richer than heretofore discovered have been opened up at Cerillos, New Mex ico. It was at this point, it is believed, that the early Indians obtained the stones brought back by the early Span ish explorers, which now grace soine of the crowns of Europe, it is stated that stones of beautiful tiut us large as eggs have recently been taken out and polished without disclosing any Haws. These are said to be the largest stones ever found. Editors Less Quarrelsome. Newspaperdom finds that there is less of the acrimonious spirit shown between editors and newspapers than formerly. Bitter invectives against rivals are now seen In print only in rare instances. The public cares uoth* ing for newspaper family quarrels, and the editors know it and confine their efforts to gathering and dissem inating news and good reading matter. •She's" Good Points. A pretty girl, with a decided air of being aware of her charms, stood in front of the lion's cage out at the Zoo Sunday afternoon, says the Washing ton Post. Two young men were near her, and her elaborate unconscious ness of their presence betrayed the fact that she knew they were looking at her. "Pretty, isn't she?" said one young man in a low voice. "She's a beauty," said the other, en thusiastically. The pretty girl's cheeks turned a trifle pinker, but she went on talking elegantly to the elderly man with her. "Beautiful head to draw," comment ed the first young man. "Look at the way she holds it." "Uh, hum," assented the other; "that shoulder's beautiful." The pretty girl turned pinker still, and looked more pronouncedly uncon scious than ever. "Look at those muscles," said the first young man. "Look at the muscles ill that leg. You can fairly count 'em." And the pretty girl turned very red indeed as it dawned upon her that the two admiring young men were dis cussing the lioness in the cage. Poland Advances in Manufactures.

Lodz makes cotton, wool and chemicals, but particularly cotton and cotton fabrics. It is known as the Manchester of Rus sia.—Russian Correspondence in New York Post.

The case of Mrs. Fred. C. Lasher, Jr., a well-known woman of "Westport, N. Y., is one of the most interesting- on record. It is an actual fact that head aches caused her head to split. "For thirteen years," she says, "I suffered from terrible headaches night and day, until the bones of my skull opened so that the doctor could lay his thumb right into the opening on to my brain. Two doctors attended me and claimed that 1 was on the verge of insanity. I was under their care for nine years, but got no relief. Then I tried Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and inside of a year the bones of my hoad had taken their natural shape again." That Mrs. Lasher's statements are true is vouched for by reliable men of Westport, and by a Justice of the Peace there. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy cured Mrs. Lasher when all other remedies failed, and it cures thousands of suffering women every year. If your head aches, if you cannot sleep and are weak and nervous, remember that this great curative agent, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, will make you well and strong. Dr. Qreene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is a physician's prescription, formulated from a discovery after years of investiga* tion and experiment. Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th St., New York City, is the discoverer. He can be consulted free personally or by letter. Forestry—lts Need In This Country.

Tree culture for profit, which forestry signifies in the Old World, is here not thought of—nor will it be while we have forests to burn. In the Old World forestry is a business. The artificial, hand-made forests cf France, and especially Germany, supply most of the timber used in those coun tries. England depends on outside sources almost wholly for its timber.
