THE WINTER SUNRISE.
II Charms the llrhulilar In I-ater Life M
In tbm Karllmt ( hllilhaud.
Some of the finest effect of brilliant
color at sunrise are oen In our North
arn winter. At least they are witnessed
by wore people for the June aunrlite
comet along at ui:U an unreasonable
early hour, that only tboe who have
fallen InU) the practice of rising wllb
the aun, if not before, ever ee that ex
hibition. Hut in these winter dy.
when the ung"tt Intobl niont Inward
hat-It of late rising, one may tudy at
bla lulHure (provided hi view i not cut
off by cluaterlng Intervening roof and
tower) the gorgoou cloud cenry that
nerald the coiiilnir luminary. Of course j
be muni have a bed-room window w hich,
like the prophet Daniel', looka toward
Jerusalem; no ldo-qiilnt nor half view
will do any justice to tho tubjoct Kuch
a aunrlite a Turner would havo enjoyed
to paint may frequently be teen this
present winter. Mixed a little with the
abounding dark and wet mornings, these
brlllnt day-opener are all the more
delightful. There wa uch a urprie
this morning, not. perhaps, a specially
notcworthvcolor display, company with
aome of thf others, but a aplendid exhi
bition nevertheless. It was pleaaant to
note the growing Illumination to see it
startle the dull nlklil

and to not tho unfolding glory in one
particular locality, a brilliant region
crowning the Indigo hills,

Where lliu treat Hun beuliiflils state.
There were Jnt enough cloud in thiit
quarter to jtch the coming blaze, and
and apread It out In great splashes of
glowing color. 8un-mittcn gems, nor
aumnier meadow glola of dew, never
flash forth more brilliant touched than
jome of heao flaming effect of eee m-
tmr sun-lae rlntida. What volatile elu
sive, ethereal, but most uplifting spirit?
it that, which so fills one with a sort of
triumphant Joy, In the flooding glory of
a paining s'tuclo like a Ann aunrlae?
If It may still charm tha beholder
In later life as In the earliest childhood,
It must have a deeper meaning than we

A CURIOUS DINNER.

direct from ber grandfather.
After wandering for three day with
out food or warmth, the poor fellow
began to weaken and ttagger wearily.
It was evident that they could live but
short time unlcsa aome aasintance
should reach them. All three carried
their t guns, but fate teemed against
them. Not a bit of game of any kind
could they find. At last, driven to des
peration, they decided to cast lota to see
wbo should die that the other might
live. The lot fell on the grandfather
whose descendant tell tbla story.

BRAZIL'S SENATORS.
Statesmen Who Until Office for Life and
Ills In Their I'lares.
"The Senato of the United State
presents rennftkable contrast with that
of llra.il," said an attache of a South
American legation to a Washington Post
reporter, as he eyed critically the vari
ous Senutors from the gallery. "1 have
heard a great many remarks bordering
on reflections about the 'sleepy' pro
ceedings of the Senate, but to have that
adjective applied appropriately and liV
erally it should be transferred to the I
Brazilian Senate. V'he causo of ths
fact Is one which has been instrumental
In bringing about the revolution. In
Brazil Senators hold office for life, and
take a so-called active part in tho legis
lation of the country so long as they can
be carried to the Senate chamber and
sit up.
"A view of tho Brazilian Sonato re
minds ono of a hospital for the infirm
and aged, with here and there a man of
some bodily vigor thrown in. As a rule
at least a third of tho Senators are so
old that they fall asleep after sitting in
the Senato Chamber for half an hour,
and even on important occasions of do
bates it is impossible to keep thern
awake long 'enough to hear the argu
ments of the younger men, they never
attempting any thing like an address
themselves. I remember on ono occa
sion counting thirteen of theso aiged
legislators sitting in their chairs asleep
whllo ono of tho ablest debaters was
addressing the bod Toothless eyes
bleared, and tho picture of corpses, many
of them, they make a woful group.
There are, of course, younger and abler
men in tho hdy wbo do the real work of
enacting legislation.
"One of tho points on which the peo
ple of Brazil lay stress is that some com-
fietitivo system bo adopted by which
Ive men will control the interests of the
country, and a term of ofllce of four or
! six years will not allow the present con
; dition of alfairs there to be continued,
i One of the first things I anticipate hear
j ing of tho reorganization of tne Brazil
ian government is a change to -orroot
this evil."

Prof. Von Borgmann, of Berlin, I
reported to have performed remarkable
surgical operation. Two patients we
simultaneously brought to hfin for op
erations, one requiring amputation of
the thigh nt tho hip joint, the other
needing a portion of the humerus re
moved on account of tho bone being ex
tensively diseased. Tho first operation
was the amputation, and then the sur
geon proceeded to exclso the diseased
portion of the humerus. This made
gap in the bono, but a piece of the thigh
bone was taken from the limb which had
just been amputated and fixed in tne
gap, by which tho continuity of the
humerus was completely restored. Per
fect union took place, and the patient
recovered with a useful arm.
A SUBLIME UTTEffANCE.
Kepler' ItliarMixly on Demonstrating th
Truth of Ilia t'alculatlou.
Kepler was seventeen years in discov
ering the harmonic law of our system,
that the squares of the times of the plan
etary revolutions are proportional to the
cubes of their mean distances from the
sun. When at last his calculations
demonstrated the truth he burst forth in
this rhapsody: "What I prophesied
twenty-two years ago, as soon as I dis
covered the flvo solids among tho heav
enly orbits what I firmly believed long
before lhad seen Ptolemy's harmonies
what I had promised my friends in the
title of this book, which I namejj before
I was suroof my discovery what sixteen
years ago I urged as a thing to be
sought that for which I joined Tycho
Brahe, for which I have devoted the best
part of my life to astronomical contem
plation at length I have brought to
light and have recogniied its truth be
yond my own most sanguine ex
pectations. It is now eighteen months
since I got the first glimpse of light,
three months since the dawn, very few
days since tho unveiled sun, motg, ad
mirable to gaze upon, burst out upon
me. Nothing holds me; I will indulge
In my sacred fury; I will triumph over
mankind by the honest confession that
I have stolen tho golden vase of the
Egyptians to build up a tabernacle for
my God far away from the confines of
Egypt If you forgive mo, I rejoice; if
you are angry. I can bear it; the die is
st; the book is written, to be read
cither now or by posterity, I care not
which: it may well wait a century for
reader, as God has waited six thousand
yars for cbservor!"
