Life's Tragedy.

Being weary for a moment, he
lay down by the wayside, and u.s.
ing his burden for pillow, fell into
that drsamless sleep that kisses
down his eyelids still. While yet
in love with life and raptured with
the world, he PASSED to silence and
pathetic dust.
Yet, after all, it may be best,
just in the happiest, sunniest hour
of all the voyage, while eager winds
are kissing every sail, to dash
against the unseen rock, and in an
instant hear the pillows roar above
a sunksn ship. For whether in
mid sea or among the breakers of
the farther shore, a wreck at last
must mark the end of each and all.
And every life, no matter if its
every hour is rich with love, and
every moment jeweled with joy,
will, at its close, become tragedy
as sad and deep and dark as can be
woven of the warp and wool of
mystery and death.-Robert G.. In
gersoll.

The Surviving Generals.

The only two great commanders
now living whe faced each other in
making the thrilling and crimsoned
annals of the late civil war are Con-
eral William T. Sherman and Gen

and Pemberton in battle, as chief
commanders, and Of them Joseph E.
Johnston, Beauregard and Buckner
survive.
Meade, who met the. terrible
shock of battle at Gettysburg, was
borne to the city Of the silent with
in a short time of the imposing
southern pageant that committed
the dust to the mother dust; and

Then silence like a wet blanke

The preservation Of his health is
one Of mans most important duties.
If he destroys his health to gain
knowledge, he labors for that which
will be useless in his hands. If he
destroys his health to gain wealth
he labors for that which he cannot
enjoy. The man who for any rea-
son destroys his health is not only
committing suicide, in slow way,
but he is depriving himself Of the
abilities and opportunities Of doing
good. He that sinks his vessel bv
overlooking it, no matter how rich
or rare the cargo, will give the
Master but poor profit from the
voyage.

The young are too frequently

R0ck.Hmprisoned Toads.

A French writer gives a long
list Of apparently we'll authenticated
instances Of the finding of live toAds
in solid masses Of stone, referring in
particular to such a discovery made
in 1851 by three workman Of Blois on
breaking open large piece of flint.
The strength of the evidence thus
presented leads him to insist that it
is unwise to pronounce the phenem-
enon absolutely impossible, although
none of the reported cases are quite
beyond the suspicion Of fraud. To
explain the occurrence, if genuine,
it seems necessary to suppose that
the creatures have existed in their
close prisons during the unnumber-
ed yearsin which the plastic material
has been hardening into rock. That
they may endure somewhat pro-
longed confinement was shown by
Seguie, who, in 1922, enclosed a
toad in plaster covering, and found
the reptile alive and in good condi-
tion On breaking the shell ten years
later.
