st. Louis has produced a grand poet,
worthy of the culture of that city. In a
big effort on the same subject as that OF
" Paradise Lost he portrays Eve as ad-
dressing her reflection in the water as fol-
lows: /" Are you woman like myself? 1t
winks, it must have not much tongue. Can
you not speak else speak louder She
winks she can't express her feelings. How
long have you been in this condition? She
winks she has always had this mission.
Don't you find it rather wet there? She
winks; she is dry like hen." This is in.
deed rare poetry, and the reader OF it can
not fail to forget Shakespeare and Milton
at least for the time being. It rivals even
the best work of Joaquin Miller and the
Sweet Singer of Michigan.

Society, at the following conclusions:
Sulphuric acid would be the best disin.
fectant iiit did not destroy the sides OF

lime ought TO be completely renounced,
as they but temporarily destroy bacteria.
and under some circumstances may

bacteria, s they revive when put inyo
