Life. Death and the Future

What NAV we take into the vast forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit of our long endea*or,
No fame-wreathed crown he wor'e,
No garnerei lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknovh por tai?
No gold, gains
OF all our toiling in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
No gilds strains.
Naked from out that far abyss behind us
We enter here;
No word came with our coming to reIsnd us,
What wondrous world nasls
No hopes, no feaR-
Into the silent, starless mig At before
N;sls~s eet glide
No hand has nai stt che constellation o'e1 US,
No comraGs-af orr sn1e,
No chart, giaae.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black an hollow
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning Of Fathers hand we follow
HIS love alone Is there,
No curse no care.

Totals

The London Railway News, from
which we copy the above list, says that
the amount of British capital applied
for In London during last year amount
ed to 1926, 9lS, 500, about Eos, 600, 600
sterling. During the present year the
demand has been not less active, and
it may be assumed that, but for recent
causes of political differences, invest
ments of British capital in the United
States would have been still more read
lily made. In 1901 there were nineteen
mining companies which required $13,-
S95, 600 of capital, eight railways com
panles applied for $50, 797, 900, and the
United States funded and state loans
amounted to 1906, $780, 900. The whole
of these proposals were brought out in
London. To the foregoing may be
added the United States Rolling Stock
Company, on the capital stock of which
(S2, 500, OO0) there has been paid in Lon
don 20 per cent, amounting to $780,
900.

Lightning as Viewed from Above the
Clouds.

Mr.. Jackson, who made an ascent in
a balloon from the Derby Arhoretum
during thunder storm, recently, sends
TO the Derby Mercury an account of
what he saw g I believe 1 witnessed q
sight that has never been seen before
in one direction the black storm was
raging in all It's fury. At times the
lightning ran from top to bottom, in
zig-zag form. This produced rolling
thunder. AT other times the great
black block would split open, and a
lo0d clap of thunder would follow. The
lightning appeared bluer, and the
thunder more hollow than is, seen and
heard from the earth. Over those parts
that the storm had passed, there APP
peared light clouds moving in another
direction, which looked like white
smoke issuing from fire without
flame"

Senator Sherman proposes 10 effect a
reduction by sweeping off all internal
taxes except those on tobacco, whiskey

Sir Charles bikes resolution lin the
House of Commons to investigate the civil
list of Great Britain created great tenn
pest among the aristocracy, receiving only
two votes in favor to two hundred and
seventy-four against. Royalty is still a
sacred thing in England among the ruling
and Weather class, but the middling and
poorer people question more and more its
divinity. The yehemence and contempt
with which the resolution was treated will
raise up defenders for it in every part OF
the kingdom.

The present month is said to have
been the most disastrous to vessels and
lives in the north Atlantic of any March in
the memory of man. The sufferings of
shipwrecked sailors, battling for life with
the waves and frost, have been terrible.
The unseasonableness of the weather is
doubtless the cause of many casualties.
Had such weather been usual at this sea-
son, vessels would not have ventured out
so early, or would have gone better pre-
pared for cold, and nayigated more cau-
tiously.

arsenic to beautify her complexion. She had
been in the habit of eating cloves, pickles,

the strength of two or three men was re-

few of the worst cases they struggled fear

The female patients were even more
difficult to manage than the males. Scores
Of them were taken by force, resisting in
