In a limpid sheen Of silvered gold they lie and seem to | dream Mb' like tins! children on their mother’s B •■€'' breast. 'Phe klugly pines uplift their emerald crowns. The beech leaves rustle In the fitful gnle; The swaying branches cross esoh moonlit dale, And white 1 imise a foi's shrill hurk | sounds Within the woods and slowly dice All, this 1m ulghl! and such a night as this, Thrilled toy the rapture of the moon's soft kiss, It almost seems as glorious as day.

I lie way It happened was this; Yoti i see, Oiek Henson and I were nnsllcal students. W« were, moreover, the closest of chums, and we lodged to gether In the same room. One evening at alsmt II o'clock we stood In a corner irt our apartment Kiel surveyed with undisguised satis taetlon the scene before us. A large (lured mj ,'ltuin and wt All sal down Dick was a moat artistic liar, and T , was something In that l*nc myself, but j I must my that It Mixed the full e* | tent of our powers to maintain a calm demeanor as wo proceeded to convince our Innocent victims that the feast !*• fora them was prepared for their es pecial benefit and that the prepa ration thereof bad been a labor of true de : light. * Of Hen son'a plan of campaign I Itan not the faintest Idea. The only thing that suggested Itself to me was delay, for It was plain that the longer the ineal was postponed the leas the dam age done when the time rame for their <lepa rture. Hut the poor rrrattite* looked #o thirsty after their travels that I really felt pity for them. A glass or two of wine from the decanter would not be missed, anyway. "My dear aunt," I ventured without looking at Dick,^“let me give you a glass of claret. Trav eling Is such dry work that you'ieally must be famlshisl." They said nothing, but there was a look of pleasant sgpeetaney In I heir oyca which read assent. The decanter stood on a side tattle, and beside It was a confused mass of tail lies of all shape* nod slues containing pickled Hr,aids, frogs and such things. There , waa also a collection of bones and other medical appurtenance*. As I stepped up In this table Dick remarked, “lie careful, Arthur, not to confound ils> claret with that red stuff I brought home this afternoon. You know HnrdirfgV dog died of liydro pliolda last tdghi and I got a Isdile of hla blood to analyse." Then mining up to where 1 stissl, ostensibly to help me to distinguish one from the other, he whispered: "Horry, old man, It wouldn't hurt. I know, but we must begin at the Is* ginning, or else we shall have a frag meutal turkey on our hands." Here's n Prrllr M*ul Head Thai I" table occupied the center or tuu room, anil upon It waa (lie prettied *et out wo bad looked upon for many a day. 'I nere waa, In tire first place, a mag nificent cold roast tutkey flanked with glaasca of colory and the like; there were dishes of luscious fruit, several Juicy poach pies, a couple of delicious quivering blanc-mangea, and, towering over all, a grand center piece of beau tiful flower*. Tbe fact la, we were giving a little cold spread to a few friends of ours, whether male, female, or mixed It is not necessary to tell. There waa a full hour to apare be fore our guests would arrive, and. everything being In readlmaia, we sat down to rest a while, and to sum up how much our little iilTnlr would tax us financially. Fumbling In my Inside rocket for an envelope to figure upon, pulled out an unopened letter which I had hurriedly thrust there the day before anil entirely forgotten. •‘flood heavens. Dick!” I exclaimed as I read It and threw It across to him. "Here’s a pretty mess! Head that." The epistle ran as follows: My Dear Arthur: My alster and I will bo |cisslng through Boston late to morrow afternoon, on our way home. We shall have an hour or so to spare In changing trains, and If nothing pre vents we shall drop In u|>on you at your room. F.xpect us then shortly after 6. Your affectionate nuut, —Helen. ‘‘(Jreat guns, Arthur,” said Dick, "why the dlckena can’t you read your correspondence when you receive It? If you hail we might have arranged things differently. Where are your es teemed relatives bound?” "Home to Beverly." "And the train leuves?" “At 7:0S, I believe.” "Well, the depot Is fifteen minutes’ ride from here, so we shall get rid of them before our guests arrive, any way,” said Henson. "Hang It, mail, 1 know that, but this spread out. That’s what I’m thinking jLtiout. You know 1 don’t want our Pit tie orgy to be kuotvn at home.” tOgad! I didn’t think of that. Hold, tie tt! You say you got that letter yesterday. Then, of course, you ex lasted them and prepared this little dinner as a surprise, see?" “Hut henveiis and earth, what about our guests? We can’t ask them to alt down to a turkey that haa undergone leg sinput*tlun. to mere fragments of filmic mange, and to peach plea that have lost ninety degrees of their cir cumference. *’ “l.ook here, old man.'' -aid Dick, with exitais-rallng cooluoan, “you’ll spoil your collar If you're not careful.

I ah, you. ne Haul aioun, mu is ine one all right. Allow me!” “I don't care for any wine, thank you,” said my poor Aunt Helen, al though really she looked ready to faint from thirst. “Not any for me, either, thank yon," Maid her slater; “I rarely take wine.” “Oh, do lake something,"I urged. "No! Well, sit down to something more substantial.” Benson was an excellent story teller, and (In* next ten minutes lie employed In relating a number of choice lios ] pltal anecdotes and experiences calcu ! labsl to Increase the effect already 'produced. One yarn, I remember, was that of a fellow student who was one day making an Interesting dissection under the arm of a dead body, lie had got his face close to the subject, study ing it with Intense Interest, when sud denly the corpse's arm relaxed and rlnsiied the terrllled student In Us fear ful embrace. “Just Imagine.” Dick went on merci lessly, "Just Imagine my poor friend They Hoik Inclined and Oar Pra cloas Ulrd Wan Suvod with his faoe pressed close against that cold and clammy cadaver. But uow, let us to tire feast." With a shudder my aunts arose and ! moved toward the table. My heart misgave me. If they ooukl stund that last story, there was surely no hope of saving our turkey. Dick’s keener eye bhw that they ware weakening, however, and so he prepared to pile on the agony. Wo had hardly taken our seats when In* Iteguu again: • "By the way, Arthur, were you In the hull this morning when that Kgyp tlau mummy was unrolled?

Lest our stock of unappetisi ng stone, should run short, or .sir victims should somehow' compter their qualms. Dick very calmly arose and removed the piece de resistance from the table. Tint so tickled were we at our sue cess that we presently found ourselves ofT our guard. It was time to broach the pies, and we bad not ready a par tide of defense. Doubtless had Benson time to think i Mr Hiiswim kat flnwrlroiiir Ousels. the matter up he would have evolved some tale as destructive of a fruit ap petite ns of a tlesli one. However, It didn't muck matter, iis there was a I si ke simp near by. and we could very easily replace that |x>rtlou of ottr re past. Both my limits took n piece of pie, nnd we two conspirators also, for appearance Make. As we ale end chat led Dick dropped out of the conversation and f1 to musing. Ii was plain to my mind Hint he wets figuring out how* to stive those beautiful lilniie manges. There wasn't another of their genus within live miles, mid so they must lie saved at any cost., l'or my part I hadn't the ghost of an Idea how It was lo Is done, but 1 trusted In Dick nnd did my )>e*t to entertain our guests alone so' ns to give Id in full opimrtunlty for thought. At. last their pie was finished mid the fateful moment arrived. Glnudug at Dick I observed with Joy Hiflt n gleam of satisfaction held possiotslou of Ills optic. I roll mat we were saved. “Ob, 1 any, Arthur." said he. “did you hapiM'ii to read 11t article In the Medical Journal about a new and ap proved stiffening for Jellies and such dainties. You know Isinglass nnd those things commonly In use often Impart a strong flavor, and so while trying to remedy this defect, a hospital doctor hit tijKin <|tilte a lucky Wien." “And what did he use?" I asked, wondering what was (sowing next. "Nalls!" replied Dick, loeonlcally. "Nalls!'' echoed tsdli my aunts In chorus, "what, hard Iron nails'/” "oh. no,” said he, with a polite smile; "you misunderstand me: 1 mean linger nalla.” I really thought my aunts would have fainted on the s|sd, and I myself could not help giving an Involuntary start.. "Disgusting!” murmured Aunt Helen In nil almost Inaudible voice. "Well, yee," replied Dick, nothing abashed, "Unger palls are rather dirty perhaps, hut I should think they would make a very superior stiffening, and If you ask any one who bites hla nalla ho will tell you they have no taste of their own; so you see they liave a decided pull over Isinglass. Everybody knows of course that they contain a large amount of gelatine, fii'Mr like n horse's hoof, von know. which thoy make glue of." (ireal PacH.tr! I thought 1 would drop from my chair, and as for our un fortunate victims. They looked ns If they were going to lie sick. An awkward silence now followed. Presently my aunts remembered that they ought to do a little shopping be fore train time, and so off they went mentally resolving, Pll be bound, that If they ever dined with medical stu dents again, they would be careful to wear blinders and plug their ears tightly with cotton wool. Of course our little dinner proved a great success, for Dick's Inimitable re lation of the story (It was really too good to keep) put everybody In the lest of spirits, and the merriment did not ling HU the "wee sma’ hours nnent the twft.” Fish Storms. In early times records of the occur rence of showers of tlsh. corn, etc., were regarded ns alarming portents. Then came the time when they were regarded as fictitious—like the Af Ican lakes, Albert ami Victoria Nyan r,n. which were erased from the limps for nearly 100 years to tie restored In the present century.

Killer represented a minority report The majority report, headed by Prof. Doarofeld and Theophllus, devoted their attention to the archi trave ami other Injured portion* of the Parthenon. They want to remove the broken block of the architrave, to use Iron bars to support other parts, and to Introduce new stone, hut this new stone to ho made out of old material, so that no patching can 1>«* visible. Nothing having I men decided upon, a I third ex|K*rt, Prof. Julltia Ditrrn, lias been called on. He deems ihe archi trave to lie hopelessly mined, and i thinks It ought to be entirely restored.

At ■»•>.« till ore of the Slurs. The* modern astronomical principle on which stars are classified, namely, the resemblance and difference be tween their spectra, and Hie revela ttons characterizing this remarkable phenomenon, have led to various at tempts to indicate the stage of ad vancement attained by each particu lar orb In its life’s history or develop ment. Itenmrklng upon this, a recent writer cites I>r. Schelner as putting. In his late work on stellar speey-o seopy, those stars whose spectra con tain the bright lines of helium and, hydrogen In the first subdivision of his first class In evolution, Beta I.y rae and Gamma Cassloplae being two such stnrs; he regards them as having atmospheres composed of those gases, enormously extensive as compared with those of other •■tars, and possibly hotter than the gaseous euveh>|tes of their older companions.

How the t'p-to-n™te tVopIo Find Plows- ^ nw In Wlnltr. People are fanrlfnl and It I* Fancy, after all, that la happiness, and the mo tive which ilirtates to the world. Some one fancies that the cozy Are at homo i and th" environment of favorite books Is enounh to make life worth living dur- j Ing the winter months. That will do for the way worn, weary, eaally satls Aed, old fashioned man and woman, but j the up to date ravaller and the new woman require a change—many rhangea In fact, and they seek In the ! dull winter day* to And the climate they | wearied of In aprlng and wlahed would , pass away In summer. Hitting behind i frosted window punes and gazing on the glistening snow crystals they sigh for tho warmth and brightness they loie better now than a few short months ago and, In no other country may these whims, these fancies be so easily gratiAcd ns In America. Abso lute comfort In these days, and In speed and safety, too, Instead of the wasted time and discomforts of the not distant past. Ponce de Loon who sought the fountain of Eternal Youth on the shores of Florida consumed many of the pre cious days of later life, and died before attaining the great prize. |)e Hoto was lured In the same direction and found at Hot Hprlngs. by the aid of Ulelah, the dusky Indian maiden, the wonderful product of (he “Breath of the Great. Spirit," but before he could return homo and apprise his friends of the groat dls ...I I_ ik. nlntil nf n/iM and youth, which he believed he had In his grasp he fell a victim to the mlustnl of the Great River and found a grave In ; Its muddy depths. To-day the seeker after health simply boards one of the magnificent trains of the Missouri Fa , nlflc System, and after something to eat and a nap. wakes up to find himself In this delightful winter Resort, ready j to embrace health which seems to he Invariably renewed by the magic of the I air and water. In l>e Koto's time the 1 secret of the Fountain of l.lfe was sedu lously guarded by the savages, but now a hospitable people opens Its arms to receive the tourist whether his quest be for health or amusement. Fancy some ( times tires of Hot Springs, strange as It may seem, but Fancy says “the fields beyond are greener" and the climate of Han Antonio Is more desirable and thus another ride In another palace, and new scenes and new faces please the eye and satisfy the restless cravings of this master of man. Thus from the Father ■ of Waters to the waves which wash the ! western shore of this great country the j tourist Is led by a whim, but most de ; llghtedly captive. Mexico has been l described as the ICgypt of the new ; world, and the comparison Is fitting, and he who dare not face the dangers of the deep, and prefers to retain his meals as well as his life, should make the journey to the land of the Monte zutnas, and there learn the story of the ages within the faces of a people which change less In tbe passing years than any other on the Western Continent. This Is the land of Sunshine and Color; of history and romance; and as bright eyes will smile at you from under be witching head gear as may be found in Castile or Arragon. Fancy carries one to California of coursp, and this Journey, as It once was termed, Is now so easily performed as l(j imvr Mini nil in Iin irinnn ami nui only a most emphatically delightful trip to be the subject of many future conversations. The land of fruits and flowers and fair women; Fancy can ask no more after this tour unless it baa been satisfied for once; and still It is Fancy which takes the wearied traveler back to the home and the familiar sur roundings and the friends and loves of home. There he may contemplate new Journeys and new dlvertlsements, but there lingers In his memory a pleasure he would not part with, and he hopes soon to again enjoy the comforts af forded by this Great System of Railway which has taken him safely out and brought him safely home and has not robbed him of the Joys which Fancy brings.
