HOW II.OvE YOU.

YOu ask me how love you, dear?
| see your very soul arise,
And torn by passionate hope and fear,
Look at me from your questioning eyes
All, sweet imploring eyes, from whence
Shall draw fitting words 10 fashion
The hearts unspokcn eloquence
Into the story of my passion:
Beyond our feeble earthly sight,
Behind the souls deep mystery,
Love dwelleth-an eternal
That never Shone on land or sea.
Sometimes burning ray escapes
From that still glory unaware,
Touches some lip with hame-and shapes
Itself into song or prayer.
Some wOndrous inspiration, wrought
On posey's gold-lettered pages,
That strikes the maSter-key of thought,
And rolls in music down the ages.
For only can the poets art
Interpret 10 the listening throng
The glowing language of the heart,
Breathed into some undying song.
And so, dear heart, may not tell
How all my life is thine-nor why
only know | love the well,
With love that cannot change or die;
For, when the heavenly day hath dawned
And earthly things have passed away,
In the immeasurable years beyond,
Ny love will still be thine for aye!

An IMPUISIvE ACT.
A SUICIDE VINO Should HAVE WAITED
A LITTLE

A SUICIDE VINO Should HAVE WAITED
LITTLE.
The London Telegraph says: Some
weeks ago young gentleman OF good
parts and great promise, the eldest son
of well-known Eucharist banker MIR.
Rosenthal, blew his brains out, because
he had the misfortune to lose a sum OF
10000 lei-about fS00-between his
fathers house and the chief postoffice,
whittier he had been enjoiued 10 convey
that amount in bank notes to be regis
tered and dispatched To one OF Mr..
Rosenthals correspondents at Jassay.
Four days after the funeral OF this un-
fortunate youth his sorrowing mother
was examining the clothes worn by
him at the time of his suicide, when her
fingers encountered a hard substsnce
within the lining Of his overcoat. This
substance, upon further investigation,
turned out 10 be the sum OF money sup.
posed 10 have been lost. The bank
notes had been enclosed in an envelop',
duly sealed and prepared for registra-
tion according to the Roumania postal
regulations Young Rosenthal bad
thrust the envelope into the einner breast
pocket of his great coat, and II had
slipped down between the cloth and the
lining through hole in the pocket, OF
which the poor fellow was either lgno-
rant or unmndtul. When, on arriving
at the postofice, he missed the money,
he became violently agitated and hur-
ried home in the hope that he might
have left it behind him. The anguish
of mind be experienced upon finding
that hope frustrated probably prevented
him from even thinking Of subjecting
his garments to careful examination;
he rushed up to his bed room, locked
his door, and ended his life by his own
hand few seconds later. The horror
of this ghastly tragedy has OF course,
been deeply intensified by the discovery
that there really had been no cause tor
the agony OF dispair which prompted
young Rosenthal TO commit suicide.

The Wear on Gold.

The depreciation in value by the wear
of circulation of the gold coinage of En-
gland is there exciting some discussion,
and it has stimulated Mr.. John Biddulph
Martin, of Lombard street, to make an
extensive investigation. He sent for IN.
formation to every bank, to some four
teen railways, fifty postoffices, and to
number of large wage-paying firms, and
he received 1902 returns. 1t was
found that gold coins minted anterior to
1910 are now very scarce. The most
important fact established was that
most of the gold now in circulation is
more or less light in weight. Upon the
total number of the coins of each year
since 1917 in circulation there is a
weight deficiency of 81, 900, 100 grains.
The mean loss of weight per coin
through the wear of circulation is
0.4325 grains. Mr.. Martin estimates
the loss on light gold at Ell lbs per
it to be actually e12 los. On light half
sovereigns the loss is much greater,
ranging in actual expense from Ell Is
to e22 16s on 81, 900 worth. Thus the
coin of the realm is in very bad way.
Individuals bear the loss and not the
nation at large, the only loss of the
nation being the $4,000 depreciation
sustained by the postoffice. The brunt
falls upon the bankers, who do their ut
most to avoid paying for the recoinage
of sovereigns and half-sovereigns, and
are heavily loaded with coin for which
they can find little or no use. Their
plan has been to send down large
amounts of worn coin to provincial CEN
tiers of business, where they sell it to
local bankers against ten or fifteen days
draft on London. The bankers put out
the coin among their wage-paying GUS
toners. The London banker loses his
fortnightly interest on the money rather
than incur the loss of sending the coin
into the Bank of England to be clipped.
MIR. Martin proposes that the state
should undertake the task and expense
of putting the gold currency upon its
proper footing and of keeping it there.
The first expense would be e560, 900.
The average life of sovereign is 17.9
years, and of a half-sovereign IL 6 years.
Mr.. Martin suggests that an allowance
Of one grain on every sovereign of 20
years old and of half a grain on every
sovereign of 10 years old, should be made
at the expense of the state on the light
currency now in existense, leaving the
individual to bear the loss on light
coins of later date. He also suggests
the use of FL notes. -NeW York Times.

"My school, once said a well-known
instructor, "when I began to teach was
divided into floors of large building,
each floor containing one department
made up of boys who were alike in age
and progress.
"After two or three years, I was
struck By the fact that all my trouble
came from the middle floor. All the un-
ruly boys, the stupid boys, the lazy boys,
were In that department. Pupils thatin
the lower floor or upper floor were clever,
obedient and studious, in these apart
ments were impracticable. My wife
laughingly asserted that the floor was
bewltched, especially as, no matter what
changes took place on that floor in
teachers or pupils, the evil influence re-
NAMED the same.
''I knew there must be rational
cause for it, and I finally found it in the
ages OF the boys. They were from
thirteen to seventeen years old, and
physically and mentally were passing
through what the Germans would call o
stau'na and stress period. Their minds
and dispositions were muddled and
heavy like fermenting liquor. I learned
to have patience and let time and nature
do their gradual, sure work, and
presently I had the clear wine again."
Nobody can have had much experience
with young people and not have dis
covered the truth of this sagacious
teachers words. Boys and girls who
have been obedient, even-tempered and
studious, often become at certain age
unaccountably peevish, rebellious and
indolent.

IN OLD-TIME OUTLAW,

Forty years ago or more there was q
robber and band organized and di-
rected by him on the Lower Mississippi,
more famous than Jesse or Frank James,
or the "Blue CUT gang, more dreaded,
more wide reaching in crime. and far
more bloody, for they made it rule to
leave no victim to become witness.
John A. Murrell was name of terror
from the mouth of the Ohio to the
Yazoo, and far back in the interior of the
States bordering on the Mississippi, on
the east side. The west side was too
wild woods for travellers or robbers in
those days, but the east was beset for
hundreds of miles along the roads lead
ing northward from New Orleans, which
were largely travelled by dealers from the
North, who had taken down droves of
horses or fotboat loads of grain or pork
or whisky. The depredations were not
confined to the land, by any means, but
unsuspecting broad-horns" were capt
ured and pillaged and their crews fed to
the fish, while tied up at night out of
the way of steamers and RATS that might
sink them in fog. It is said that the
Murrell gang had hiding places in caves
and stored their plumber in them. West
ern Tennessee was said to be their favor
lite ground, but they ranged from the
north of Mississippi to the Ohio. Many
efforts were made to capture the leader
and break up the band without effect,
till an adventurous young fellow named
Virgil Stewart undertook it of his own
motion, partly to clear the country of a
terror, and partly to employ his super
abundant energy and daring. He be-
came member Of the gang and con-
tinued so for some considerable time-a
year or two, possibly more, and finally
trapped the greatest villain ever known
on the American continent since the
days OF the buccaneer chiefs, Montbass
and Morgan. He vas sent to the peni-
tertiary at Nashville for long term on
conviction Of robbery, it is to be pre-
sumed; as conviction of murder would
have hung him. 1t may have been that
no legal evidence of direct participation
in murder could be advanced even by
his captor, however complete might have
been the moral certainty of his guilt.
Stewart published an account of his ad-
ventures in large pamphlet forty years
ago or thereabout. The robber chief
died in the penitentiary, or, at all events,
before he got chance to resume his old
career, even if he had Eeen so disposed.
There are, no doubt. persons in this city
who retain an accurate recollection of
the mans adventures and notoriety.-

Heat of the Body.

Our bodies necessarily generate heat,
the result OF the chemical changes going
on at all times within. The amount is
immense, keeping the body we'll warmed.
though constantly throwing the heat off
into space. Yet, SO nice is the adjust
ment between its production and it's
waste, that the temperature of the blood
seldom varies from about 9S degrees
Fab. In summer or in winter, at the
equator or at the poles.
If the surrounding medium is such as
to take up the heat rapidly, the uncon-
sclous appetite Graves that for its food
whose chief Office it is to supply heat,
and at the same time tones up the sys-
TEN to its reader digestion. IF the re-
verse is true, the body pours out upon
the entire surface fluid whose evapora-
ton keeps down the heat, while at the
same time the appetite rejects fuel food
and Graves the non-stimulating, and es-
pecially the fruits that then abound /;
moreover, the thirst demands a larger
supply of water for the evaporating sur
face.
In most fevers this wonderful balance
is lost. The result is dangerous amount
OF heat, resulting In destructive changes
of the tissues.
We add some suggestions
l. Neither bed-clothes nor body
clothes furnish heat; they simply pre-
vent the heat generated by the body it
self from escaping into space. They
should be of such a nature-light and
porous-as to accomplish this most per-
fectly.
2. Since white repels the heat of the
sun and black absorbs it, the outside
clothing should be ight-colored in sum-
mer.
3. Fuel food-fat, sugar, etc.-should
be avoided In summer. A burning fur
mace without at such times is not SO un-
comfortable as burning furnace within.
4. In very hot days we may aid nature
by frequently sponging the body.
Thousands of infants mi ght be yearly
saved in this way.
5. Such sponging in fevers is neces-
sity.-Youth's Companion.

TALMAGE ON HAPPY PEOPLE.

I stopped one day on Broadway, at
the head of Wall street at the foot of
Trinity Church to see who seemed to be
the happiest people passing. judged
from their looks that the happiest peo-
pie were not those who went down into
Wall street, for they had on their brows
the anxiety of the dollar they expected
to make nor the people who came out
of Wall street, for they had on their
brows the anxiety of the dollar they had
lost j.; nor the people who swept by in
splendid carriages, for they net car
ri1ge that was finer than theirs. The
happiest person in all that crowd, judy
ing from the countenance, was the
woman who sat at the apple stand
knitting. I believe true happiness
oftener looks out of the window of a
humble home than through the opera
glass Of the gilded box of a theater. I
find Nero growing on throne. 1 find
Paul singing in dungeon. I find King
Ahab going to bed at noon through
melancholy, while near by is Naboth,
contented in the possession of vine
yard. Harnan, Prime Minister of Persia,
frets himself almost to death because a
poor Jew will not tip his hat, and
Ahithophel, one of the great lawyers of
Bible times, through fear of dying,
hangs himself. The wealthiest man
forty years ago in New York, when con-
graduated over his large estate, replied:
"Ah, you don't know the trouble have
in taking care oft" Byron declared in
his last hours that he had never seen
more than twelve happy days in his life.
I do not believe he had seen twelve min
utes of thorough satisfaction. Napoleon
I. said: 81 turn with disgust from the
cowardice and selfishness of man. I hold
life horror, death repose. What I
have suffered the last twenty days is be-
yond human comprehension. While,
on the other hand. to show how one may
be happy under the most disadvan-
tageous circumstances, just after the
Ocean Monarch had been wrecked in the
English channel, a steamer was cruising
along in the darkness, when the Captain
heard song, sweet song, coming over
| the water, and he bore down toward that
voice and found it was Christian on a
