TO-DAY.

Go work today" the Master saith,
Waste not thy time repining!
Fill every hour with earnest deeds.
While bright the sun is shining.
What though We do not see the fruit.
Yet still continue sowing;
For night and day-asleep. awake
The grain is ever growing.
Io.morrow's work may not be yours,
Nor yours the joy of reaping
20 work tc-d1n, and leave the seed
Safe in the Masters keeping.
That seed shall to the harvest come.
Though you in death are sleeping.
Others shall reap what you have s0wn.
Work on, and cease thy weeping!

BILL ARP'S SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Nature Is the next study. DR.. Jenner
was close observer. He was the first
man to find out that the cuckoo never
built nest, but always laid her eggs in
other birds nests. Do the boys know
that when a horse crops grass he eats
back to him, but a COW eats outward
from her. because she has no front teeth
IN her upper jaw and has to gum it? The
boys have seen many white horse, but
did they ever see white colt? Do they
know how old the twig is that bears the
peaches, and how old the vine that has
the grapes hung OH to it? Do they
know that a hop vine winds with the
course Of the sun, but bean vine al
ways winds the other way? What tim
Der will bear the most weight? what is
the most elastic? what will last longest
in water, and what out of water? what
is the best time to cut down trees for
fire wood? how many kinds of oak can
you count up that grow in this region,
and what are they specially good for?
How does bird fly without moving a
feather or Tapping wing? How does
a snake climb a tree or a brick wall
What is the difference between a deer's
track and hogs track, and how often
does buck shed his horns and what be-
comes of them? Which ought to be
the largest, the throi of a chimney or
funnel, and ought it to be wider at the
top or drawn in? Books are a wonder
ful help, but man ought not to be sat
isfed to go through life and be always
on the borrow from other peoples
brains. He ought to find out some
things for himself, anG leave little to
posterity in payment for all that he has
1s&~ned from others.

4 WoMAN'S ROMANCE IN n NUT
SHE'LL

He was introduced to her at ball
she danced with him and forgot him.
She met with him again at reception,
was reiptroduced, and remembered she
had seen him before. Where, she did
not know. Yet for some moments his
arm had been around her slender waist.
At the reception she talked to him,
and found him dull. She looked at him.
He might be called handsome, but was
awkward. When he sat down he was
prone to sprawl. He stood with his head
forward, and stumbled ungracefully in
his walk. She flushed with annoyance,
left him, and went into the conservato-
ry with man more to her taste.
She found him one evening at the
house of friend. She conversed easily
on topics of general interest. He sat in
a chair too low for him and his feet
were painfully apparent. She disdaip-
fully turned her shoulder toward him.
Presently she rose to go, and dropped
her handkerchief. He bent lightly for
ward and caught it up, almost before it
touched the carpet: As an intimate
friend at the house, he prepared to see
her home. He arranged her cloak with
eager Difference, and she smiled. He
trampled on her skirt as she passed out o,
the door, and she frowned.
They arrived at her gate; he pushed
it open, took off his hat, and almost ran
away.
One day she was coming home from a
shopping expedition with a small parcel
in her hand. He came up with her,
bowed awkwardly, blushed, and asked
if he might take her parcel. He did not
say much, but listened in adoring 81
lence. When he left her she laughed,
and said he was intoIerably stupid, yet
not bore.
Pretty soon he began to call often and
attended her to the opera and theater
when she would permit him. He wa
always near her and anxious to be Of
service. He was manly, and among men
a favorite. He rode well, but danced
indifferently. The other girls laughed
at him, but he did not heed it. She
danced perfectly, was talkative, daring
and impulsive.
She snubbed him, and shook him off
for more accomplished men.
He finally said he loved her. She
laughed, said Impossible" tormented
him, neglected him, refused more eligi-
BILE suitors, and finally married him and
adored him for all time.
OF such is the nature of women.
