3 Where the music's beat seams echoing sweet,
And faint and fleet as irom lairy unguis. But the two who sit. while the moments flit, With never a bit of word or laughter, Keep listening still, as old folks will, For young voice running to root and raiter.
Oh, fair was the bride by hr husband's side, JJ In blushing pride and girlish gladness, 3 But now she is gone and the hours lag on, With a sense of loss and a sense of sadness. 5 And the firelight dear betrays a tear 3 On the dear old cheek of the mother shining, V Which the father spies, then fondly tries
r) To soothe her sorrow anü sau repining. 3 "Yes, Bessie is wed, and I always said This day I'd dread n which another i Would steal her away, as I. one day, i Stole that same little Bessie s mother!
Then smiles come fleet, and fond and sweet, And the old eyes meet by the fireside cosy,
3 And the griefs and tears and fears ot years j Flicker away in the firelight .rosy

Good News For the Editor. When Kitty -Ihrh my muso tnUc MrM1 lt entranced; I cannot wrlto. Such was tho refrain of the budding poet's latest production, and when it reached the hands of the wenn- litor, who had been bombarded bv bushels of unavailable outpourinps from the same source ho promptly sent it hack, with the following terse and businesslike in
dorsement:
"I had to resort to a queer ruse once to get an admission from a man I was after," suid a private detectiu. There had been some trouble at a club between two young men. One threw a glass of wine into the other's face. The other did not resent the insult as he should have done. When his father heard of it he threatened to disinherit his son unless he whipped i i.f ii
the man who nau inrown uie wm I in his face. The father was a mem- ! her of the same club, and he made j a wager of a wine supper that his son could and would whip the other folW. Soon after this the son met
the man who had insulted him and whipped him. The fight occurred on a prominent street, and as two of the young man's friends were with him at the time there was talk of an action against them and his fntimr fnr pnnsnirncv. Our airencv
AUfcAtVf j y - tjr was retained to get the evidence needed. t
"It was decided that it would be necessary to get an admission from tho father of the young man who had made tho assauit. 1 was told to get it. I tried many ways and failed. He did not know I was a detective.
He had known me for a number of years, but thought I was engaged in other work. I had another plan to rof from him what I wanted. I told
him a New York publication was having the affair written up and il
lustrated. "T sniel I hntl seen the picture of

to see it I thought I could get him the picture that had been prepared for publication. He was eager to sec it. "I had a friend, a newspaper articf who mndfi me a nicture. He

DISTANCE OF THE STARVj How Attronomor Set About th Talk of Measuring It. With the oxception of a hundred itara at most, wc know nothing of the distances of the individual stars. What is the cause of this state of fhintra? Tt ia nwimr tö the fact that
O a - we have two eyes that -we are enabled not only to perceive tho direction in which external objects are situated, but to get nn idea of their distance, to localize them in tpace. But this power is rather limited. For distances exceeding soma hundreds of yards it utterly fails. The reason is" that the distance between the eyes as compared with the distance" to he evaluated becomes too small. Instruments have been devised by which the distance between the eyes is, as it were, artificially increased. With a good instrument of this sort distances of several miles may be evaluated. For still greater distances we may imagine each eve replaced by a photo-
graphic piaic. rven uns uuiu quite sullicient for one of the heavenly bodies viz, for the moon. At one and the same moment let a photograph of tho moon and the surrounding stars he taken both at the Cape observatory and at the Povnl ohsprvntorv at Greenwich.
Placing the two photographs side by side in tho stereoscope, we shall clearly see the moon "hanging in space" and may evaluate its dis
tance. But for the sun and the nearest planets, our next neighbors in the universe after the moon, the diilicultv recommences. The reason is that any available
distance on the earth, taken as cvp distance, is rather small for the purpose. However, owing to in
credible perseverance nnu ew ut several observers and by Substitut ing the most refined measurement
for stereoscopic examination, astronomers have succeeded in overcoming the difficulty for the sun. I think we may sny "that at present we know its distance to within a thousandth part of its amount. Knowing the sun's distance, we get that of all the planets by a well known relation existing between the
planetary distances. But now for the fixed stars, which must be hundreds of thousands of times farther removed than h cnti Tlmrp evidently can be no
question of any sufficient eve disinrtnn nn mir Oil rth. Meanwhile our
success with the sun bns provided us with a new one distance, 24,000 times greater than any possible eye distance on the earth, for now that we know the distance at which the nnrUi tmvpls in its orbit around the
sun we can take the diameter of its orbit as our eye distance. Photographs taken at periods six months apart will represent the stellar n-Tfi nc cppn from noints the dis
tance between which is already best -rroiieofl in tho time it would take
light to traverse it. The time would be about sixteen minutes.
However, even this distance, immense as it is, is, on tbe whole, inadequate for obtaining a stereoscopic view of the stars. It is only
in quite exceptional cases umt tographs on a large scale that is, obtained bv the aid of big telescopesshow any stereoscopic effect for fixed stars. By accurate measurement of the pbotos we may perhaps get somewhat beyond what Li. xn nitnin Vv simnlc stereoscopic
inspection; but, as wc said a momnni nun nstrnnomors have not suc
ceeded in this way in determining
tho distance of more man a Hundred stars in all. Scientific Ameri

Lazy Birds. The "mound fowls" of Australia and New Guinea construct mounds t Ann.,-A Iahi'oj fnr their nests.
In these the eggs are laid and cov-

composition of the leaves causes uie eggs to hatch, and the young m due i;.rt linrrnu' thp.ir wav out to life
and the open air. These birds are
