We hear its approach upou the  wings of tho September wind as it  j .lays upon the long-standing corn.  Almost every day one hears tbe  remark; "Where has the summer  gone?" It has gone where "all  summers go into the illimitable  ocean of the past. The farther do  we travel toward the crest of the  hill behind which life's sun sinks  into the West the more rapid do  Llie summers seem to chase each  other by.  At first though there is a sug.  gostion of sadness about tho autumn time.' To Bryant, that passionate lover of nature, they were  "themelancholy days, the saddest  of the, year." It is because the  indication of change, decay, death,  tend to solemn reflection. The  ^ftertlro"iight"-bi'ings~the���������bebter7  brighter view.

The average transatlantic traveler  displays very little Interest In- the nay*  lgatlou of the vessel beyond watching  the ship's officers, sextant in hnnd,  making observations, says n writer In  Travel Magazine. Very few have nny  idea of the process by means of which  tin* modem navigator is enabled to no*  cumtely place the ship's position 'at  a.stated time on the chart Out oC,  sight of laud a ship's geographical position is determined either by keeping  a'careful'record of the course steered  and tlie distance run,'known as dead  reckoning, or by the combined use of  chronometer and sextant���������that is, by  observation of the heavenly bodies.  *TliTTJtyerati'oii--of~iJudlng-the-JaUtude_  and longitude of observation can be  performed in a numlier of ways, of  which thu simplest and most conven*  leiit Is by measuring the altitude ot th-?*  sun nbo'e'the horizon at noon, as i-i  Indicated on the vernier ofthe sextant  and spoken of at sea as "shooting Iho  sun." An arithmetical computation by  tho aid of logarithms Is thus quickly  made which shows exactly how fur  the ship Is .north or south of the equator, or, ln otber words, thu latitude,  Finding the longitude, however, Is a  somewhat longer process.

Now, let's see. How did 'Private' John  Alleu of Mississippi get to congress?  Joked himself in. One bit of humor  sent him to Washington, a national  lawmaker. Opposing him for the congressional nomination was the Confederate General Tucker. They met on  tbe stump. General Tucker closed ono  of his speeches as follows:    ���������  " 'Seventeen years ago tonight, my  fellow citizens, after a hard fought  battle on youder hill, I bivouacked un-  jier_ yonder clump of trees. Those of  yoa who remember as TTto~"tlie"~time3-  tliat tried men's souls will not, I hope,  forget their humble servant when tho  primaries shall he held.'  "That was a strong appeal In those  days, but John raised the general nt  his own game. 'My fellow citizens,'  ho said, 'what General Tucker says to  you about bivouacking under yonder  clump of trees is true. It ls also true,  my fellow ell kens, that I was a vedette  picket and stood guard over him while  be slept. ' Now, then, fellow citizens,  all you who were generals and bad  privates to stand over you while you  slept vote for General'Tucker, ond nil  of you who were p'rlrates nud stood  guard over the getieruls while they  slept vote for Prlvato John Allen.'

Instinctively his hand  flew to his hip, and instantly he remembered there was nothing there.  Then with great, uneven leaps he-  sprang forward. "Keep your bauds  up.
