THE FROGS WHO WISHED !.
KING.


vERsTFTED FROM ESoP's FABLES.
Once long, all, long ago
How long do not know
. &nation of frogs there was-a favored race
Who lived away from boys,
From thoroughfares and noise,
Behind wood, in a most lovely place.
A sheltered marshy pool
1t was, and the water cool
Filled it like wide saucer, to the brim;
While willows on the bank
Bent gracefully and drank,
And rushes grew all round, broad green
rim.
What could they do hut thrive2
There was room to hop and dive,
and room TO swim all day, If SO they chose;
Plenty OF messy boys
Where the old rheumatic frogs
Could sit and sun themselves and croak and
doze.
The little froglets had
Each his own lily pad
To sit on, and though slippery he could cling;
And mt night the tirc-fiieS
Held lanterns TO their eyes
So they could read the notes they wished to
sing.
But no; they weren't content;
They mad presentiment
Some creatures in the world Jared better thap
they;
One very certain thing,
They hadn't any King,
and they thought the way to got one was to
pray.
And so one warm spring night,
Beginning at twilight,
They all of one accord began to chir-r.r;
They made the air resound,
And all the people round
laughed, saying: Hear them pray to JNpi-
terri
On high Olympus peak
Jove heard them croaG and creak,
And, being in merry mood. he gaily cried:
The race of simpletons!
Even If listened once
They'd be no better pleased or satisfied

FASHION CHAT

Stout women look better in gathered skirts
than in tight gored ones.
For outdoor wraps fringed garniture takes
the lead. The fringes are made in be ads
and chenille.
Fur felt is fashionable for street or walk
ing hats. The feather trimming of breasts
or wings is massed high in front
Actual birds nests set in an opening hol-
lowed in the top of the frame are used to
trim some bonnets. The nests contain iedg-
lings and eggs.
In silks, gros grain, faille, and the old
fashioned pOut de sole will take the place of
satin. They will be combined with velvet or
velveteen suits.
Nearly all the gimp tassels aud trim mings
are Invisible; that is. they are formed of
leaves or drops, which can be used separate
~; and they are very fashionable so used.
Berthas are revived, but they are not made
exactly like the old designs. On the right
side Of the corsage the lace will be plated
like fichu, as in the old-fashioned bertha,
and on the latter, for evening dresses, is
placed half wreath OF flowers

When tears come fresh from no ungentle
spring.
Beside this stream. whose tongue runs falter-

A breeze shakes al the host OF grassy spears.
Rustling their faded remnants where they
cling;
brown rust widens round the fairies wing,
Pale on each bough = dying grace appears
The afr is tremulous with towering fears,
Each moment some loved charm is taking
wing,
For every pearl that falls from Summers

Entranced, we read the self-same book, and turn
Down q leaf. At some sweet thought, in wonder;
We pause and hold finger pressed upon
A line that thrills rs while we muse and ponder;

Content we learn what cannot be unlearned;
In truth, we know no deeper joy can be,
Nor subtler pain. - us whose hearts have burned,

TIMELY TOPICS.

POPULAR Science Monthly: In the case Of
loss Of memory the late DR.. Beard believed
this state TO be one Of general lowered brain
function, in which the cerebral activity is
concentrated in some limited region of the
brain, and is largely suspended in the rest
He also urged that the plane Of consciousness
was below the point Of remembering; hence
these cases were conscious at the time, but
the memory failed 10 record the impression.
In confirmation Of this the late DR.. Forbes
Winslow recorded the case Of a sOmnam bulist
who, while walking about, set his night dress
on fire, and with excellent judgement and
GOODNESS threw himself on the bed and ex-
tinguished the flames, then resumed his walk
and awoke next morning with no memory Of
it, and was greatly alarmed at the chsrred
appearance Of his dress. Whatever the pa
tholOgy NAV be, il is clear that this is state
Of responsibility, aud for the time being a
form Of dementia and insanity, about which
there can be no question. Careful study OF
these cases for many years has indicated the
startling fact that they are very common in
inebriety; also that in every case where aleo-
hol is used 20 excess there are histories of loss
OF memory anu coIeClOusutss u ats Noui-
mitted while using spirits. These conditions
are almost infinite in variety and mplexity !;
and are considered mere freaks Of memory
by many persons. Probably in a majority OF
cases in the early stages these blanks Of con-
seiousness and memory are partial and APP
pear in the delirium or stupor which follows
excess OF spirits, OF in mental starts approach
ing It, and clear up utter recovery, or remain
like a blank for weeks, then for some little
circumstance break away and every act is re-
called. In other cases only a dim, vague
impression remains Of what has transpired in
the past, which may or may not become clear
with time; or the blank may be total for the
time being, and then break away. In many
Of these cases there is apparent realization Of
all his acts and words, in others a self evil
dent Inconsistencies of them. This is only
the beginning Of another and more pro-
nouneed stage,in which the blank Of memory
and consciousness is total, and during the
period the acts and appearance Of the person
differ but little from those OF usual health.

Miss PEARL TYLER was granted a special
dispensation to be married in the Richmond
cathedral to Protestant against the rule Of
the Catholic church, on the ground, as Bishop
Keane put it, that the bride being the daugh-
ter Of an ex-presldent, came within the priv
ileges extended by the church to persons Of
royal blood and distinction in Europe. Hear
ing OF Mis- Tyler's good luck, an ambitious
mother in Richmond asked the same indul-
gence for her daughter, who Is about to wed
a Protestant, but has been refused by the
bishop on the ground that her case Is not ex-

has replied that this is republic, and that

THE growing feeling Of fellowship between
American and Canadian communities is be
coming very marked and prominent. This
feeling Of interest in American affairs was
very forci5ly illustrated in the late presiden-
tial election, and at its result. While that
result hung suspended on the count in New
York, the excitement ran so high, aud anx-
ious interest was as clearly developed, as in
American communities. The interest of the
people was divided and took sides with either
party, defining partisan feeling as sharply as
If it were a Dominion, instead of the United
States election. This feeling is significant
one, and ceuses the thoughtful to forecast
future possibilities. This sentiment of
common feeling and interest, may in the
not far away future, grow beyond the point
OF mere sentimentalism iuto a union Of posi-
tive action, and common interest, in all those
material elements that are calculated to ce-
ment people of common ideas, and a com
munity of views, social, commercial aud
political into a homogeneous, consolidated
people. Toronto journal gives the follow
ing interesting account of the feeling in that
city, as the news Of our Presidential election
came in. No American city could more
clearly, or sharply define party interest, that
did the people of that city. Says the Toron-
to Necs: The growing community Of SEN
timent between the people of Canada and
the United States, was never more strongly
manifested than by the intense interest TAX
en- Dy the citizens of Toronto in the result Of
the Presidential election. The bulletins an
nouncing the effect of the polling in the va
rious states, displayed at The Nelcs office, were
eagerly scanned by a large crowd, who be-
seiged the Office until late hour, anxious to
learn the latest details, and by frequent
cheering manifested their sympathies with
one or other of the candidates. In fact, there
could hardly have been livelier interest felt
over Canadian election. Partisan feeling
ran very high, too. The general sympathy
of the crowd seemed to be with Cleveland,
though a large minority favored the Repub-
lican ticket. During the day the presiden-
tial contest was the engrossing topic of con-
versation on street-csrs and in places of pub
lie resort. The contrast between the com
parative indifference with which Canadians
received the tidings Of American elections a
dozen or so years ago and the excitement of
yesterday, illustrates very strongly the grad
ual drawing together Of the two peoples.
The loyalists may not like il, but they cannot
get over the fact.
