WHAT IS LIFE f
ria Vital Ouektion DNettxxed from Various
h-t:i:i! iMiiiilft.
One day, when t ho feathered songsters
in tho woods wero tired of sinking, there
was a long pausu. Ail was quiet and
naturo it:n.If seemed lo.-;t in meditation.
Suddenly the philosophical bullfinch
piped, "What is life?" to which a little
Bcngster among tho leaves replied, "Life
id a song."
"No, a battlo in. tho dark," Mid the
ground mole, vho just okcd bis head
out of tho ground in tho vicinity of tho
treo among whose branches tho little bird
was hopping around.
"To my mind it U an unfolding," de
clared tho rosebud, which was just ready
to unfold its beautiful leaves, to the great
delight of a magnificent butterfly, which
did not hesitate to kiss the pretty flower,
with theso words: "Lifo is full of idle
joy and pleasure."
Say, rather, a short summer day,"
hummed a jealous one day lly buzzing
lst.
"I moan that lifo changes ever with
work and pleasure," mentioned tho bee,
and it disappeared in t lie leaves of the
rosebud to gather honey.
"I do not seo that it is anything else
than idle worry," complained I he little
ant, dragging a 4!ad?)f straw, which In
comparison to tt was unnaturally
long.
"Yes, you aro right," a little rabbit
nodded from tho hazel bush; "life, as
suro as I live, is a hard nut to crack."
At this moment a tsoft rain murmured,
"Life consists of tears, all tears."-
"Life is an ever changing conscious
ness," said the thunder cloud floating
toward the ocean. The ocean waves
broke against tho shore and sighed, "Life
is a steady battle for freedom."
"No. you are mistaken, it in freedom,"
jubilantly said the eagle, sailing through
the air with his j)owcrful wings.
"Ah, it is poor earth," moaned the
weed, working its way out of moor and
stone.
Tho high cedars bowed to each other
to tho earth saying: "Lifo is striving
ever upwards." And a ripple sounded
through tho tops of tho trees until the
pasture cried sorrowfully: "Lifo is rather
given up to a higher power!"
Night had broken in and tho solemn
domo prelate advised: "Ixt us rest, my
friends. As there was no satisfactory an
swer given wo will resume our debate to
morrow." "For all I care you may do that,"
breathed tho night. "But lifo is only a
dream."
Tho still night ruled over tho city and
country and soon morning would draw
near. Tho student, who was sitting in
his out-of-the-way garret, lust in medita- !
tion, blew out his littlo lamp and mur
mured: "Lifo is only a school."
Footsteps wero heard on the deserted
streets. A tired citizen was going
homo to rest, after spending the night
in going from pleasuro to pleasure, in
spito of which ho complained: "Lifo is
an unsatisfied longing and steady disap
pointment." "It is a riddle," stammered tho new
born morning wind.
Suddenly a glimmering light rose upon
thehorizon. Higher and higher climbed
the magic light over tho top of tho woods.
The red morning light greeted iho earth
and liko a mighty chord it sounded
through tho universe: "Ufe is only si
beginning. From tho Gorman."

Sea Anchors.
Experiments have lately been tried at
Dover with a so called sea anchor, in
vented by Capt. Waters. This apparatus
co:isi.sts of a canvas bag about four feet
in diameter and five feet deep, with either
a strong hoop to hold it open or a square
bol'cd frame to answer the same purpose.
The bag is attached to a beam, or float,
In such a manner that it Im just below

forms tho connection between ii and the
bow of tho vessel employing it. Tho ob
ject of this sea anchor is to bring a boat
or ship's head to the sea when in danger
of foundering from getting broadside to
ward waves. There is nothing very new
in the idea, for such a contrivance has
frequently been extemporized with ad
vantage. Tho veteran aeronaut. Green,
also constructed an anchor to hold a bal
loon near the surface of the sea, which
was almost identical in form to this one.

Few Divorces in Ireland.
Whatever may be said for or against
tho Irish people, there is certainly one
Vespect in which they may challenge the
udiniration of the world, namely, in
.iiatrin-onial fidelity. In the recently is
? aed tables giving statistics on the sub
ject of divorce our own country leads in
having granted nearly half a million di
vorces luring the twenty years past, but

The Listener was about to wite a
chapter on the professional men who bo
long to tho church for professional pur
poses only, and who como to regard
their church as their peculiar preserve,
upon which other men of their trade
have no right to poaclt. On second
thought, however, he has decided not to
write the chapter, but simply to tell a
story.
Dr. Plugham, an able dentist, who
has his office in that handsome thorough
fare which, from the frequency of its
dental establishments, is coming to be
Molar avenue (Plugham, of course, like
tho rest of the dentists in that aristo
cratic section does not give a hint of his
occupation in his sign, but simply decor
ates Ins door with a very modest plate
bearing only the legend "Dr. Plugham"),
belongs to a fairly fashionable church
and is very faithful indeed in his devo
tions. No Sunday so stormy that it does
not find him in his pew; ho teaches a
class i:i tho Sunday school and takes a
prominent part in all church and society
proceedings.
The other Sunday several of ihe con
gregation at Plugham 's church noticed a
well dressed stranger at church, upon
whom Plugham bestowed a glance of
slight recognition, and after the service
Plugham and the stranger were seen in
conversation for a moment or two in tho
vi'stibulo. After the stranger had passed
out, ono of the memliers of tho church
stepped up to Dr. Plugham and remarked:
"Who was that stranger that you were
talking with, doctor?"
