The Sunrise Never
Failed Us Yet.
Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods regretfully:
From the far lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws, the wistful afterglow.
So out of. life the 'splendor -dies;
So darken all the happy skies
So gathers twilight, cold and stern;
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away;
What though our eyes with tears be wet?
The sum ise never failed us yet.
Tlir blush of dawn may yef restore
Our llKht' and hope and joy once mora
Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget.
Thut sunrise never fulled us yet!
Cellu. Thaxter.
Skoetskap lies far up on' top of the
hills which surround the fjord and
look down the Northern Sea.
It was Just at the, time when the
country is crowded with tourists who
come from all parts of the world to
admire the midnight sun.
Tim Wessbull, the tall, broad-shouldered
mate, sat on the piazza with
Aase, the widow Rolla Regenholm's
daughter, who wore a costly pearl
necklace which he had brought .her
from India. She was beautiful as a
classic goddess, but cold and haughty
as a marble statue. Tim had falien In
love with her when he came back
after an absence of two years, an,d her
mother, though she had hoped to see
her married to a richer man, had ad
vised her to accept him.
"You better take what you can get,
Aase. You will not always be eight
een, and you may not have another
offer."
So Aase bad accepted him and the
honest sailor was happy.
"How sad it Is that you must leave
so soon," she said. "We cannot even
go to dance together in the village."
"Yes, it is sad, Aase, and three long
years will pass before we see each
other again, but when I do come back,
we will have enough to get married."
"Well, three years is no eternity,
and I will think of you often."
"Next to him sat Hella Regenholm,
Aase's fifteen-year-old cousin, an or
phan, who was being brought up in
her aunt's house. Aase's hair was as
dull gold, while Hella was dnrk. She
gave promise of great beauty. She
looked pityingly at her cousin, who
kissed Tim gcod-by, and thought as
.she saw him leave: "How big and
f-roanly he looks," and felt so sad for
i him that he should love her cousin, a
heartless flirt, who cared nothing for
him.
The time passed, Aase went to every
dance In the village, while Hella was
busy at home, making nets for the
fishermen, wondering bow any girl
could care to go to dances without her
sveetheart.
One night Aase came home very
late. She was out of humor and spoke
angrily to her mother.
"You should never have told me to
accept Tim Wessbull. I wish I had
never seen him."
"Why so?"
' " The rich Peter Sorensen, who owns
twenty fishing boats, .asked me to
marry him to-night. How stupid that
I am engaged."
"Well, an engagement Is no mar
riage; it is easily broken."
"Hut what will Tim say?"
"Who knows whether he will ever
come back?"
"No; that is true. It is almost two
years since I heard from him."
"But maybe his letters have been
loKt," said Hella.
' Mind your own business." Aase
cried. Three days later Peter Sor
rensen came to the "house and three
With Aase.
months later he and Aase were mar
; riod.
She and her mother moved away to
his large home and Hella was left
alone in the cottage with Tiny Bjun
yes, a weak-minded old spinster who
had lost her reason when her sweet
heart was drowned many years ago.
Hella was quiet and sad rnd often
sighed when she thought of Tim.
In tha meantime Tim was working
as first mate on the Russian bark
"Scorsflyn." He went from Riga to
Siberia, Japan, China and finally to
Alaska. A passenger, Ivan Tschit
schamsky, came aboard here. He
had made a fortune in Klondike am
brought 1300.000 In gold with him he
o I
told Tim, whom he took a great liking
to.
One day during a storm the Russian
was swept overboard by a wave and
Tim, who was an excellent swimmer,
lumped after him and rescued him,
hut pneumonia set in and Ivan, who
realized that he was dying, made his
last will, witnessed by the captain and
two sailors, by which he left his whole
fortuno to Tim. The next day he died.
When they reached San Francisco
Tim left the ship, bought a draft on
Christiania for 1300,000 and started
homeward.
Tiny Bjunyes was sitting outside the

cottage making nets when Tim came
up. They did not know each other.
"How do you come here?" he asked.
"I live here."
"Where is Aase?"
"You mean Aase Regenholm?"
"Yes."
"She Is no longer. She is Aase Sor
rensen now." ,
He turned deadly pale. '
"She is married?"
Hella came out of the house just
then.
"Oh, Tim," she cried, "aro you
hack?" He looked at her.
"So you have not forgotten me,
Hella?" he said adly.
She saw the sorrow in his eyes, and
told Tiny to leave them.
"Tell me how it happened, Hella,"
he said.
"That will only make you feel
worse, Tim," she answered.
"No, Hella! She was not worthy of
my love, for 1 loved her higher than
my life."
"Aase never knew what love is,"
she said. ,"She can neither love you,
who are poor, nor her husband, who
is rich, nor me, who was always in her
way she loves only money!"
"Did you think that I would return,
Hella?"
"I knew you would. Men like you
are always faithful. Your eyes could
never lie. Will you take supper with
us? We have only fish and bread."
"With pleasure, Hella."
"Then you will excuse me a little
while."
She was gone.
Tiny came out.
"Did Aase ever speak of me?" he
asked her.
She shook her head.
"Aase never spoke of anything but
fine dresses and money."
"And her -mother?"
"She only speaks of Aase's good for
tune in getting a rich husband."
"And Hella?"
"Hella often spoke of a man whom
she loved, but I dare not tell you his
name. She has made me promise nev
er to do that."
"You spoke of me to her, though?"
"Yes, if you are Tim Wessbull."
Tim's heart almos't ceased beating
from joy, but he said nothing.
After supper he asked Hella to take
a walk with him, and when they had
reached the top of the hill and were
quite alone he said:
"Hella, there are mistakes which a
person makes and which he never dis
covers for years, and then all of a sud
den everything becomes clear as the
fog rises on the sea before the rays of
the sun."
She looked at him without under
standing. What could he mean?
"Hella," he continued, "I have never
loved the heartless Aase, I know now,
but I do love you as a woman was nev
er loved before."
She listened to him with an expres
sion of rapture, and the joy nearly
made her faint in his arms. She was
as in a dream, and when he Vlxsed her
she whispered, "Is this really true, or
do I dream?"
"No, Hella, it is the truth, and it haa
come to me like a revelation. But do
you think that you can learn to love
me?"
"Oh, Tim, I am afraid that I have
loved you from the very first day I met
you." Chicago American.
WAYS OF THE "BORN FIXER."
Never Any Use to Interfere, Says
Woman Who Knows.
"One of the easiest ways to get over
a difficulty is to walk around it," said
the woman who had just returned to
her home after a summer outing. "Our
clock, which has done good work for
four years, naturally stopped while
we were away, when I wound it the
pendulum refused to swing. William
told me to let it alone until he, had
time to fix it.
"One evening after dinner William
took down the clock. He told the ser
vant to bring him the kerosene oil
can. He poured half the contents of
the can down the back of the clock.
Incidentally he ruined the tablecloth
and his trousers. But I didn't mind
that. It .never pays to interfere with
a born fixer when he's fixing some
thing. "After William had tinkered with
the timepiece for an hour he decided
to wait until the next night. Whea
he had gone down town next morn
ing I took it to a clockmaker.
"'Jimminy!' he exclaimed, "who's
been monkeying with this? To rem
edy the original trouble would have
cost forty cents. Now you'll want a
new face, since this one is soaked
with oil". You're in for $4.50 all right.'
"I had the clock in its usual place
when William came home to dinner.
But he never seemed to notice it.
Said he was going to a neighbor's that
evening to help Iiim fix his automo
bile."
ELEPHANTS ARE DYING OUT.
Only Two Thousand in Ceylon, It Is
Estimated.
In the new Ceylon Handbook and
Directory an interesting record is
that of the export of elephants from
the island during the past forty-one
years. In 1903 there were only eight
of these pachyderms sent out of the
country, one to British India and sev
en to Germany.
The price paid for these animals
was 7,500 rupees, giving a modest
average of 825 rupees each. A roy
alty of rupees 200 per head, was im
posed in 1873, and the number of ele
phants exported, which had fallen low
before then, dwindled in the next few
years to three and even to one. In
1882 the royalty was reduced to Rs.
100, in the hope that business might
revive and encouragement be given to
supplying the new demand for Ceylon
elephants in the Continental menag
eries. The Rajahs' courts in India
had previously formed the chief mar
ket for them. The total number sold
in the time treated of was 2,225, or
an average of 56 per annum.
Mr. Alfred Clark, an expert, esti
mates that there are now only 2,000
elephants in Ceylon. The royalty in
1891 was again raised to Rs. 200.
Whether the effect of this will be
to permit the animals to increase in
undue proportion to their available
haunts or that sportsmen shooting
elephants will counterbalance the de
crease in the export remains to be
seen. Lahore Tribune.
Keeping Apples Sweet for Years.
A farmer near Union City, Mich.,
amazes his neighbors by keeping ap
ples, pears, peaches, grapes, etc., in
their' natural state for several years.
He now has apples and grapes grown
in 1901 which can hardly be distin
guished from this year's product. He
now gives out his method of preser
vation, which is very simple, as he
merely selects well-developed fruit
with good stems, picks it carefully
and sears the end of the stem with a
lighted match. Then he wipes the
fruit perfectly dry, places it in a piece
of dry wrapping paper and lays it
away in a moderately dry and cool
cellar.
Higher Mathematics.
There was once a shrewd promote,
who combined ten mills in a trust.
Now, these ten mills did not make
a cent.
And why?
Because the wise promoter poured
so much water in the stock that it
took all the receipts to pay toe first
dividend that was to satisfy the doubts
of the public. After he had disposed
of the stock be forgot about the mills
and attended to something more press
ing. Thus we see that although once we
learned that 10 mills make 1 cent, it
is possible, when they are properly
juggled, for figures to lie.
The Voyage.
I ro not where I will, but must;
This planet-ship on which I ride
Is drawn by a resistless tide;
I touch no pilot wheel, but trust
That One who holds the chart of stars,
Whose fathom-lines touch lowest deeps.
Whose eye the boundless spaces sweeps,
Will guide the ship through cosmic burs.
My soul goes not a chosen way;
A current underruns my life.
That moves alike in peace or strife,
And turns not for my yea or nay.
Not on the bridge, but at the mast,
I sail o'er this far-streaming sea;
I will arrive: enough for me

Major William R. Abercrombie,

Hard Task
The search for a physical process
which would act directly on the cir
culating blood in case of intoxication
in order to extract the poison which it
may contain is not a new thing, two
methods up to the present having been
tried transfusion of the blood and
washing of the blood. The transfusion
has given proofs of its worth, but the
difficulties are such that the applica
tion of the method is necessarily re
stricted. There has been little success
hitherto with the washing method on
account of the difficulty of adjusting
the speed of injection to the narrow
limits of cardiac tolerance. The chief
difficulty has been, however, that the
simple dilution of the blood does not
render the renal filter permeable to
the poisonous substances.

When the second hymn was announc
