shat TO tax them does not necessarily increase

W hen we say that full response to the

thirst is given to us not only that we may
keep the fluids of the body duly supplied
with solvent and dilutent material, but
also that, through the xcretory organs,
all soluble offensive substances may be
quickly washed away. In the digestive
process, the demand for water IN aid of
both these necessary purposes is urgent.
In nearly ever, thing We eat there are sol

Avoid Gossip.

Many people of small minds and limited
resources find great pleasure in talking over
the affairs of others.
The slightest and most unimportant
event in social life is talked about and beld
up over against other things which have
happened before, deductions are made and
conclusions are drawn, favorable or unfa-
yorable, as the case may be. How eagerly
do they discuss characters and assign mo-
tives-frpquently, alas doing incaicu'able
harm by unjust and unrruthtul statements.
1t is not improving, to say the least, 10
| permit the attention to BIZ engr'ssed by the
the consideration Of the personal matters
of those with whom we come in contact.
| 1t Is a habit which grows rank with the in
dulgence, often overshadowing and cho-
king all that is noble in ones nature.
One of the best preventives of gossip is
TO associate, as much as possible. with
busy, intelligent people. Such persons are
sure to have enough TO talk about-some

Talking In itself is not objectionable
The important matter is what you 'alk

PLEDGE TO THE DEAD.

From the lily of love that uncloses
In the glow of a festival kiss,
On the wind that is heavy with roses
And shrill with the buges of bliss.
Let 1t foat Ger the mystical ocean
That breaks On the kingdom of night
Our oath of eternal devotion
To the heroes who died for the right
TfRf5 Prom 1nE4 III that n HIS lQsf Yet they parted
Left woman and child hrokesl-haarted,
Staring up to the pitiless skies:
Left the tumult of youth, the sweet guerdon
Hope promised to conquer from Fate
Gave all for the agonized burden
Of death for the Flag and the State
Where the, roam on the slopes of the mountain
That only by angels are trod,
Where they muse by the crystalline fountain
That springs in the garden Of God.
Are they lost in nnapeakable splendors
Do they never look back and regret7
All, the valiant are constant and tender,
And Honor can never forget
Divine in their plying sadness
They grieve for their comrades CT earth;
They win hear us, and start into gladness,
They will lift their white HAMS in blessing
We shall know BY the tear that it brings
The rapture of friendship confeesing
With harps and the wayings of wings.
In that Grim and relentless upheaval
Which blesses the world through curse,
Still bringing the good out of evil
The garlands of peacs on the hearsel-
They were shattered, consumed and torsaken.
Like the shadows that fly from the dawn
We may never know why they were taken.
But we always shall feel they are gone.
II the wind that slghs over our prairies
No longer 10 solemn with hnells-
But lovely with flowers and fairies,
And sweet with the calm Sabbath bells;
If Virtue. in cottage and palace,
Leads Love to the bridal Of Pride,
'Tis because out of wars bitter chalice
Orr heroes drank deeply-and died
All, grander in doom-strieken glory,
Than the greatest that linger behind,
They shall live In perpetual story, ue. zs v
Who saved the last hspe of mankind!
For their cause was the cause of the races
That langul shed in slavery's night: Gs4#
And the death that was pale on their faces ~
Has filed the whole world with its light
To the clouds and the mountaine we breathe 1t,
To the freedom of planet and star;
Let the tempests of ocean enwreathe it.
Let the winds of the night bear it far
Our oath, that. till manhood shall perish,
And honor and virtue are sped.
We are true TO the cause that they cherish,
And eternally true to the dead. s i...s
