I sought a day of happiness, a day Of days, that long remembered I should keep For mine alone, from dawn to twilight gray And then on through the night and hours of sleep. The sun I thought must shine, and every hour Would tell Itself, away, a golden bead; No cloud must come, no sudden, racking shower, No warning that I suddenly take heed Of life, but 'neath the honeysuckle vine, Counting my hours, I'd know the day was mine. But, ohl It was not so; my day was filled With thought of othersone who thirsted came And stood without; I brought him water stilled From the clear spring; I had no time to blame The sun for hiding, work there was to do. ' Sweet marjoram and rosemary I culled And carried to the sick; a scarf of blue I fashioned for a head whose hair was dulled. And when at length I weary scanned the gray I found a sunset for my perfect day. Can Man Measure the Universe? t , j f l I J', By GABKKTT P. 6KRV18H. "Is the universe by that I mean all the atari, moon, sun and everything wo see only as a drop In an ooean or aa a grain of Band in a desert? I believe that the Creator haa created more, and is still creating more, than we can ever hoie to tell. Ills powers are unr-xplalnablo. If we lived an eter nity we could not tell all that He haa created. Please make this matter clear."-!!. B. S.. Huntington, K. T. To the visible un iverse there arc at tainable limits. It may be that the greatest telescopes have not yet reached the bottom, or the boundaries, ot tha entire system,; but they have almost done so This Is shown by the thinning out of the fainter stars. These stars as a whole are the most distant, and tf they were unlimited numerically every Increase In the pout rating power of telescopes would bring previously unseen ones Into view, in proportionately undiminished numbers. As a- fact, however, there Is a rapid falling off In the proportionate numbers at great distances. This Is shown by Kepteyn's "law of star density." Taking the "parseo" as the unit of measurement, a parsee is equal to 19,000,000 miles, the density of the stars at Increasing dis tances comes out as follows! At 0 dis tance, 1.00; at 60 parsers, 0.99; at 135 par sacs, 0.S8; at 313 parsecs, 0.67; at 640 par sees, 0.80; at 850 parsecs, 0.15. This does not mean that the absolute number of stars decreases with increase of distance, but that the ratio of their number to the volume of space occupied decreases In the proportion shown, so that at a distance of 850 parsecs there ar only 15 per oont as many stars as there should be If there had been nu fall off In relative density. Various counts and estimates of the actual numbers Included within various limiting distances have been mads. Thus, according to Messrs. Chapman and Me- through the efforts of our intelligence do we recognise that they are bursting with life and force; that they are tffe germs and seeds of another generation of star, whose splendors will blase forth either after tha sun and his fellows hare passed Into darkness. To return for a moment to the ques tion of the infinitude of space. It is well known that the human mind cannot con ceive a limit to space, for the Instant you attempt to fix or Imagine suoh a limit your Imagination flies beyond It. You have got to think of an outside as well a.? of an inside. And If you fly to another imagined boundary Instantly another outside ex panse stretches away before you. It 1, then, perfectly legitimate to suppose that, while the visible universe Is limited, the invlelblo universe has no bounds. In comparison with that, ell that we see, or can ever ee. Is truly, infinitely less than as a grali of rand to a dc.wnt or drop of water to tin ocean. The Fight that Never Fails f ' It ' J ' V ' ' v " ' " . M" , he S nr j J FVr- :j h'.l!.

"Door lookod," said the man mmply, "and Mr. Keiir don't want anyone fool ing round this building." "Haven't you got tho key." Ills eyes were beginning to fell the maglo of her eyes, and his ears of hor voice. "I have not." "But you know where it is?" "What if I do?" "Why you'd tell me and I could get it end open this door." The man tried to laugh roughly and failed. "Where is It?" she asked. There was a sliort battle of eyes, and Celestla as usual conquered. on a rectangle of white cardboard! "Don't touch. Dynamite." "And what," she said sweetly, 'are your orders about that switch? What will be tha occasion of setting off the dynamite?" The sentry affected not to hear. "You have to toll me," said Celestla. After a moment's silence, he said: "I'm only to close tho circuit only on a direct order from Mr. Kehr. I don't know why I'm to close It. Or what will happen if 1 do." "When you do," said Ceieatla, "lots of pour wives will be left without hus bands, and lots of poor babies will be lert without fathers." The sentry shuddered. "fli you won't obey that order, will you?" "An order Is an order, ma'am." "I am giving you an order." 't tako my orders from Mr. Kehr." "The order I am giving you la from Clod. Look at me."

This docs not reach the limit of vision of the very greatest telescopes, but it shows. In accord with other estimates, that tho total number of stars in the visible universe is numerable and probably docs not exceed a thousand millions at an outride estimate. The fact thut a fairly definite shape, or outline, has been found for the visible universe Is, In itself, a proof that it Is not unlimited In extent. We are virtu ally certain that It expands around us in &tach a manner as to assume roughly the form of a flat Irregular disk, the more distant parts, or edpps, of which lie in the plane of the Milky Way. It Is thus like a floating island of stars In the eoean of space. Spaca Itself may be Infinite although what we call the universe Is not. As to other universes existing beyond the . limits of ours, and invisible to us that is purely a speculation, which appears more or less probable according to the manner la which one's mind approaches it. But, at any rate, there is no positive evidence of Ihe existence of such outer tar systems. From tune to time one hears suggestions that this or that nebula la an "outside universe,'" dimly shining to us from its millions ot crowded stars across Immeasurable tracts of Intervening space. But It Is far more probable that no nebula or other object vislMe In the mightiest telescope is unconnc-ted with the universe to which our sun and our earth belong. Aa to the continuance of tha Creator's work In forming new suns and new planets, ot that thers can be no question. This work Is.

But It was written that while she slept soundly In tho little house whloh had boon set aside for her use, Kehr who never slept In times of danger, went on a midnight tour of in spection, and made certain discoveries whloh filled him with ingcr and anxiety. The very first sentry whom ho talked to made a damaging confession, '"Suon nothing tonight?" Kohr asked. "Only the lady, sir." "What lady?" "The lady in white.' "Oh." "Yes, sir."

"Tea, air." Kehr returned to his headquarters and gave orders that all the men then on sentry duty should be telloved, and sent to him.

There are certain delicate matters of courteny and politeness which many college-bred young men and wotnen seem to disregard. In these days of telephones, the art of letter writing has fallen greatly Into dis use, but while the telephone may serve Its purpose In saving a hewtesa the formality of a written Invitation to "a week-end," and the guests may be very glad to accept the Inti mate method of being bidden to her home, the tele phone Is hardly adequate to the conveyance of their their appreciation of her hospitality. Yet even a "Thank you anil a statement of tho pleasure en loved, said over the wires. Is better than silence. It seems hardly believable, end yet there are young people with the advan tages of education and acquaintance with the world whose hearts are really kind, at the core, who fall to acknowledge hoepl- tallty bestowed by their elders. A young mn or a young woman who has received courtesy in tho way of entertainment In country houses or in city mansions, in functions given at hotels, or private resi dences, should not feel that alt his or her duty Is cwrfrtrmed by the sending of the prescribed "bread and butter" letter. The really well-bred young person Is urged by Impulses within his heart to send an oc casional message or a postal card, or a brief note (or perhaps some social Item marked In a newspaper), whloh permits his host end hostess of former occasions to know they are remembered. One who has been entertained Should certainly allow no holiday season to pass without sending a card. The Innate gen tleman and the innate lady do these things spontaneously. They do not even need to be tauiht. But If they are not born with these delicate Instincts, It Is well that they should acquire them. There Is a certain type of individual who Is really good-hearted and apprecia tive of his friends, yet who never takes the trouble to writ and Inquire about them or to give them Information about himself unless he wants a favor. Worn he to be sponken to on the sub ject ho would say that he was too mod est to Imagine that people eared to hear from him; that he had no idea that they were Interested in his afalrs. Vet he felt so sufficiently certain of their friendship and regard thnt he did not hesitate to ask a favnr when he needed the Influ ence of their names or their purses. But If he had looked deeper Into his own heart he would discover that his real failure to keep In touch with his friends was through thoughtlessness, bordering on Indifference. He would know that however successful and full of pleasures might be the lives of his friends. If they ware sufficiently inter ested In him to offer the hand of friend ship when it was asked they would cer tainly appreciate an expression of regard from him and a kindly message when nothing elsa was demanded. Friendship, hospitality, sociability, agreeable Intercourse, all are great fac tors In tha sum of human happiness. The human mind can scarcely conceive how appalling would be the situation of one human being who knew himself to be tho only living person on earth. No matter If ha had health, wealth, every eomfort and every luxury provided to the end of existence, he would In a brief time go mad with the conscious ness that nowhere on the face of the earth was companionship to be obtained from other living beings. He would long to free himself from the body and explore the spiritual realms In search of comrades on those plane a Therefore It would seem worth while to appreciate friendship and oompanlon ship which Is offered us here and now. Instead of accepting it aa a matter ot course or of using it only as a help in time of need. Advice to Lovelorn MATXIOai rAXBVTAX olirr a uuuw It uk jiuiat,.
