etc. The two latter articles are usually
scarce at this time Of the year, but there
has been 10 occasion for complaint since
the holiday era set in. As Il consequence,
probably both OF hard times and full sup
plies, prices have ruled lower than for
some years past Instead Of poultry at %,
butter at 81, and eggs at 80 cents, We have
them at IA, 80 and 80 cents Repeatedly

prices. The single article Of meat holds its
own, implying that production is below
the demand, or that the foremost people,
intellectually, are also ahead. Carniycrous-
Iva paradox which the doctors can prob
ably explain.
But all this is merely an Introduction to
another matter. 1t is contemplated on
some authority, We know not what, that
the Companies will reduce wages the en-
suing season. If this is fact, then the in
PRODUCTION of low prices of living has APP
propriatelv preceded such reduction. 1t
has always seemed IRRATIONAL if not unjust,
to reduce the price of labor without first
seeing the nccessarles of life 90 TO lower
level Of cost. Usually no man pulls down
an editicc by first removing the foundation
yet this is quite as sensible as that scheme
Of economy which begins and ends with re
ducine wages The inevitable result is,
that, with less money TO spend, trade must
grow dull, and Improvement and growth
lanGuish 1t is true a class may he benefit
ted, but it is at heavy expense to a much
larger communicative foundation itself
And the result reaches trade and resources

gree addicted to theft 1t is equally sad
that some men steal and that others are

Their notions of proprety in such cases,
thieves are lucky if occasionally they STUN

Importance Of Mathematics.

In the recent eloquent dedicatory
address of President Seelye, of Smith
College, Mass, the Importance ofmath-
ematical knowledge was illustrated as
follows:
at would be easy to show the in
creasing Importance of mathematics
to practical life, the assistance it gives
the sailor and the engineer, and our
Indebtedness to it for the most highly
priced comforts of our civilization
But it is not for its practical utility
that | advocate its place in the high
er education. That utility, indeed, is
due to the study, which had no thought
of practical results. Nor does it owe
its place to its Importance as mental
discipline, although the testimony of
many generations of educators bears
witness to its value as an intellectual
exercise. Rather would l Justify the
prominence of mathematics in the
higher education because it is the stu
dy, above all others, which gives us a
knowledge of the mind in Nature. To
it, more than to any other source, we
are indebted for what we know of the
physical sciences. Long ago its i'm
portance in astronomy was recognized.
1t made familiar to our common
schools the secrets of the earth's mo-
ton, of day and night, of the changes
of the moon and the tides. Problems
in the starry armament, about which
the wisest sages for centuries We're
hopelessly puzzled, mathematics has
enabled school boys to solve. Yet its
triumphs in astronomy represent only
q fragment of what it has accomplish
cd in the physical sciences. Sound,
light, electricity, heat, have all become

Blunt Doctors.

1t is curious fact, but yet remark
ably true, that some doctors, in pro-
portion as they are sharp, are also
generally blunt. They are cute in de-
tecting ailments, but blunt in express
ing their opinions thereupon. One of
these notable physicians was DIR. Rad
clitfe, who died about century and a
half ago.
The last part of his name was strik-
ingly characteristic of him, for he was
II rough and abrupt as IA cliff, and
sometimes very ''steep" in his charges.
\ notorious usurer and miser, nam
ed Tyson, once came to him, disguis-
ed rs IA poor man, in order to save the
fee.
Radcliffe, however, recognized him,
and showed him no consideration,
though he gave him good advice.
.'Go home, sir, and repent" )" he roar
ed, THE grave is ready for the man
who has raised an immense estate out
of the spoils of orphans and widows.
You will be a dead man, sir, in ten
days"
And so it was. Tyson died within
that time, leaving three hundred thou
sand pounds Ga million and a half dol
lars) Of his ill-gotten gains.
DIR. Radcliffe was as plain to kings
and queens as to common people, and
they had to put up with it, too, for
the sake of his strong common sense.
When the Princess Anne once sent
to him, he returned word by the mes
senger that "She had nothing but the
vapours. and was as we'll as any other
woman in the world, could she but
think So"
For this he was dismissed from the
court, but though the doctor could do
without the court, the court could not
do without him. The Princess Anne
became sick, sent for him when her
husband, George, of Denmark was dy-
ing, and Radcliffe told her no midicine
would keep him more than six days,
as it proved.
When called in to attend King Will
liam, he told him it was of no use try
ing to cure him. If the King gave up
drinking so much wine he might live
three or four years, butno skill could
do more.
His Majesty was finally seized with
dropsy, and asked the doctor what he
''thought of his legs" Radcliffe re-
piled:
"Why, truly, sir, | would not have
your Majesty's two legs for your three
kingdoms"
William was naturally offended, and
would not see the blunt doctor again.

Lady of the sparkling eye,
With the saft luxuriant hair,
Beauty beams in every glance,
Thou art passing fair;
And thy thoughts are free and gay
As the summer winds at play;
Beauty is a glorious dover,
Didst thou trust its magic power?
Gentle are the words of love,
All is bright below. above;
This enchantment may depart;
Therefore, lady, school thy heart.
Lady, there are many eyes
That on thee will kindly beam,
Winsome as the suns last ray
On the ripping stream:
But there may be one deep glance.
Caught amid the flying dance,
That will haunt thee like dream,
Making all else worthless seem;
And TO mock thy misery,
1t Was never meant for thee;
Rouse thee ere the seal is set:
Teach thy fond heart to forget.
Lady, there will come 10 thee
Visions beautiful and bright,
Bathing thy immortal part
In resplendent light
Spirit music thou shalt hear.
Never borne 10 mortal ear:
Glorious things too bright to last,
on renewed, as often past;
Glimpses of a purer world,
When spirii-wiugs shall be unfurled +;
Struggle sgains, heart of care
Lady, breathe the purer air.
Lady, passing years may throw
Shadows DER brow 50 fair:
Steal away thy checks warm glow,
Silver thy dark hair;
New thy life is in its spring,
Bu, autumn yellow leaves will fling
Above the wiiherei flowers that lie
tn the cold earth so silenily.
Live, II woman firm and true,
Swayless by the passing breath
Nerve thy soul by noble deeds,
