THOUGHTS OF KA8TRR. s,
OVelf the whole wifrl?to-day
reigns the anthem of resurr?d(ion.
Beginning in the far orient it runs,
with the dawn to the limits of the
^accident is sounded from every
ohnrrsh bell, is up te heaven like a
beam of hope and promise. The
winter is past, and Nature has set
man' again the lesson, which since
time began she has spread out be,fore
him in the earth, that book
which may be read by the unlearned
as well as the wise, by the savage as
well as civiliztU man. There is no
deathj-thSr? is np effort that sinks
into the dim void and becomes
naught, there is no cessatiojf of soul
influence. The summer oomee and
, its glory passes, the harvest time of
3, our liVes wanes, the fields are brown
\ and barren, and looking over them
sadly ws grieve that all of our hopes
\were not brought to fruition. When
the frosts of age cover our beads we
sometimes say with the great soul
that \pieed his agenv in the dark
'YouthVi? blunder, manhood struggle
and olo\age regret."
Yet we have lived and loved, and
that is within itself a boon. From
, ; the graves where' were laid our
crucified joy, our blameless offerings
to untoward desbny, oar loved and
noble ideslt, shall risers glorified
spirit to guide othefe down thorough
war to the place wheke the
"great light" shines. No nntfk of
sorrow in the vale of life is virgin to
the > aked feet of our shrinking
souls. Whereever the water is
deepest and the shadtfws fall darkest,
there trod the martyrs of the
'i agnes and though they found the
"i sepnlcker at the end ot the journey,
- being dead, tbey yet lire and apeak
, , with undying utterance.
Christ is risen *"trom the dead!
Long age# pass 3d whin it seemed te
the waiting nations that He waa yet
in the tomb, and the sleep of
death had forgotten the world. Toil,
stripee and anguish were the portion
of His people, for the poor are His.
Wickedness wore the robe and srewn
and filled the, earth with sighing.
Even then there were brave hearts
that looked up through the clouds
and listened for the antnem of the
resurrection. It was beard at last,
and liberty of thought, faith and conscience
waa proclaimed. The cerements
ef error are cast off and lie in
I the open sepulcher, and with them
are the broken shackles and rendered
fetteis.

AX- EASTER THOUGHT.
"For ? ? know that, if our earnest lj
house of this tabernacle were dissolved,
we have a building of God, a
houge not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens." Oh, what a day
when body and soul meet again!
They are very fond ef each other.
Pid your body ever have a pain and
your soul not r?- ichnp it? Or, changing
the question, did ^your soul ev'st
have anv trouble and your body not
sympathize with it, growing wan and
weak under the depresaibg influence:
Or did your soul ever have a gladness
but your body celebrated with
it with kindled eyes and cheek an
elastic etep?. Surely God never intended
two such good friends to be
very long separated. And so when
ths world's last Easter morning shall
come the sonld will descend, crying,
"Where is iny bodv?" snd the body
will ascend, saying, 'Where is my
soul?" and thi Lord of the resnrreotion
will brin'g them together and 11
will be a perfeC'. soul in a perfect
body, introduced by a perfect Christ
into a perfect heaven.

THE MAN AT THE POLL
8omt of the Peculiar Conditions Thst
Would Confront Him,
If a man could live at the north
' pole through 100 days he would be
100 years old, lor a year at the pole
is made up of just one day and one
- nigfrt.? ?
About the 21st day of March the
| sun peeps above the horizon, but
not in the east, for to the man on
L the pole there is no east or west
or north. There is nowhere to go
L but south. A few days later the
, sun is apparently rolling around on
the horizon for the entire twenty'
four hoursr~\\Vithout a timepiece
the man at the pole could not disi
tinguish the 29th day of March
frpra the 30th of March. To pataphrase
a popular saying, all days in
the calendar look alike to him.
After apparently Tolling over the
horizon for sixty or seventy hours
tire-eea, always in full vimr, begins
a slowly ascending spiral until it
reaches an altitude of twfnty-three
and a half degrees. There are ninety
degrees from the horizon to" tho
zenith; sou twentv-thked and a half
are considerably less .than a third of
ninety degrees. So tho man at the
pole doesn't have to lean backward
to gaze at the midday sun.
After some two or three days at
its greatest altitude the Bun begins
a slowly, descending spiral course,
i and about "the middle of September
it is again rolling around the horizon,
and a fe\v_ hours later, as the
last edgp of it disappears below the
horizon, night ensues?a night that
lasts from Sept. 21 until the foblowing
March 21.
The man at the pole sees all the
stars in the northern holt of th**
celestial firmament at one time. He
does not have to wait for the revolution
of the earth on its axis to
bring any of them into view. Bpt
he can never see many of the stars
we see, just as we stay at homes are
' never able to see the Southern Cross
' and other constellations of the
; southern celestial hemisphere.' The
moon visits the maiaat the pole and
keeps him companyLfor weeks, circling
the horizon just as the sun
did, but at a lower altitude.
( The'north star, Polaris, is almost
directly overhead. It is a degree
' and a fraction, you know, out of
' true north. r
> At the ptfliTall meridians of lon>
gitndfi-irteet. So to describe one's
. position there no longitude is necessary?only
latitude 90 degrees.
The north pole of the compass
' points south at the nprth pole. So,
' indeed, does the south pole of the
i compass, for south is the pnly di.
rection away from the north pole.
I The stars appear brighter, a star
of one magnitude less than can be
seen in the United States being
[ easily visible iir-the-arctic regions,
k No rotation of the earth takes
. place at the pole. So if Mr. Man
, .whs on the equator he would be
turning with the earth at the rate
' of over a thousand miles an hour,
while ifNrt the exact pole he would
not turn at all?or at most, if he
stood' stock \still for twenty-four
, hours, he himself would rotate just
! once. \,
The pole is the nearest point on
r the surface of tKje eaHh to the center
of the earth. Conkqquently on
leaving the pole one would have to
be continually marching up hill.
Fpr this same reason things weigh
J more at the pole than anywhere
" else on the surfaee of the earth.^\

J A Uniqu* Hem*.
I In Sweden and Norway there are
j. several homes for spinsters. One
of these at least ? attractive as
it is unique. l|t is a monument to
the memory Ofc an exceedingly
f wealthy old. man who, dying more
L than 200 years ago, left the major
part of his fortune to the old maids
among hi* descendants. A superb
i home was built, furnished and managed
by salaried trustees. It flour'
ished and has continued. Any unmarried
woman who can prove
blood relationship to the founder of
the institution is entitled to admission
to the home. She is given a
, suit of rooms, a servant, private
meals and is subject to no rules save
such as ordinary good behavior demands.
