A number of printers, all of whom
were born since the last war, were sit
ting about the office of Secretary
Marsh ohe day lately when an "extra”
was brought in which indicated that
war with Sjiain was near at baud.
"If we have war it will afford our
navy some good praotice—just what it
needs'—and be better than a dozen sham
battles,” suggested one.
"And Spain will find it quite a change
from bull fighting.”
“1 don’t believe there will be any
war,” said a baseball crank. "Justus
we think everything is ull ready you'll
see a sign up: ‘No game to-day. Wet
¿rounds—too sloppy on the Atlantic.’ ”
”1 think we’ll have to make up a purse
tor Spain,” said the pugilist of the
party. “But if she don't stand up for
four rounds she don't get any of the
receipts.”'
“You boys are very cunning,” said the
veteran Harsh, wheeling about in his
chair.
"It’s easy to see that none of
you know what war means. I’m older
than any of you, and 1 know. In 1864,
when I was working on the old Tribune,
eight men from that office enlisted in
the Twenty,foiirth Michigan.
They
were all fine fellows, the best of the lot.
Six of then' never returned. Tlie other
two got back so wasted and changed
that it was hard work to recognize them,
and they were carried from the depot
to the hospital on litters. One of
them, Witherspoon, a personal friend of
mine, was shot through the wrist. Both
died.
I saw several regiments leave
here, 1,200 to 1,500 strong, composed of
the finest young men in the state. I
saw them come back with only 3C0 to
500 mnlmeil nnd broken men—men that
had practically ended their lives. That
is whnt war is.

half fill 1,000,000 volumes, which,placed
one upon another, would form a solid-
column over 25 mile» high. If it is true,
as Edward Everett Hale says, that the

greatest of popular educators, these

of Uncle Sam’s present service as a

While tar removed from the pop*
lar notion of signal light« from M m
the explanation of the phenomenop
on that planet obaerved at th« LoweU
observatory in December a year ago,
as made by Prof. PeTcival Lowell be
fore the Philosophical society, wae
little less interesting.
By analogous reasoning ha showed
that the "projections” were alto
gether dissimilar to
projection*
which may be observed on the moon
when that body 1. lass than full and
which, he said, are caused by tike
sunlight illuminating the peaks of
mountains or edges of crater«, for
the reason that ths projection« o*
Mars as observed on December Tan<
8, 11)00, appeared at different placea
on the heat equator of that planet,
traveled with great rapidity in the
same northwesterly direction, rose
to a maximum height of about 8 4-10
miles above the surface and disap
peared. The phenomenon, he said,
was undoubtedly caused by the rap
id generation of clouds at a great
height, which were successfully U-
luniinated by the rays of the sun as
it was setting on Mars.
In the discussion on the subject,
savs the Philadelphia Ledger, Prof.
Snyder, of the Philadelphia observa
tory, stated that the Rus-Ln astron
omer. Gogovsky, in an artia'e recentr
ly published reviewing the physical
conditions under which planetary at
mosphere may exist, markedly con
I firms not only the observation 'but
the explanation of the Martian phe
nomenon offered by Prof. Lowell.

Chiefly is the art movement leading
to a new emphasis of the beauty of the
Christina life. Loveliness is no longer
confined to the unspeuking statue and
the dumb picture. Loveliness is becom
ing life. That mother who bore her»'
self with sweetness and gentleness,
with patience and kindness beyond
compare, has passed on; but for her
boy her face hangs in the picture gah
tery of memory. No picture ever paint
ed. no statue ever carved, no cathedral
ever built, is comparable to beauty of
the soul that is refined, reformed and
possessed with the spirit of Jesus
Christ. For the truly Christian life is
as full of color as the spring, as full
of fruit as ¡ b the autumn, as full of
purity as the white cloud, as full of
majesty as the noble mountain. One
church made up of beautiful Christiana
who worship God in the beauty of holi
ness would transform our city and our
civilization.—Newell Dw ight Hillis, in
Woman’s Home Companion.
