Sun Energy in Growth.

The director of the Royal Deaf

December as from the middle of De-
cember to the end Of April, and most
of the gain of this second period be-
ing lost between the end Of April and
the end of July. These fluctuations
do NOT correspond to local changes Of
temperature or to changes Of sea-
con. but instead appear to COIN

A MODERN ROMANCE.

She hsd studied all Of the ''ologies,'
Knew all about Latin and Greek,
italian and Spanish could read and write,
And French and German speak;
Could sing like seraph or nightingale,
Was pretty well up in art:
She graduated from the Harvard Annex,
And then-she lost her heart
There were moonlight walks. a sail or two.
A drive, when the day was done;
Ribbons. laces a wedding march,
And then-the twain were one.
A run to Europe then home again,
Receptions and balls, score;
Then they settled down to LIES routine,
And the honeymoon was DER.
Alas. for their life's ship tossing now
'Mong the breakers Of Something to Eat;
Alasl that the love OF man should oepeno
On bit Of bread and meat.
But dinner of herbs though seasoned will
love,
On the palate at last will PAIL
And he longed for the desh-pots OF Egypt
And the fatted OK in the stall
The cook grew "uppish'' and put on airs,
When she didn't know salmon from cod,
And she found, too late. she had married Q man
Instead Of . demIgod.
Romance and poetry slipped away,
And Love-the gay little sinner
Pouted, thea out'of the window few
When she couldn't cook the dinner.
What did she do? Had she been . man
Iprcsume she'd have 'tsken to drink"
But, being q woman, she just sat down
On the state OF affairs to think
The thing was done; It was no use now
To cay she had been "a fool;'
So she quietly donned her wraps and went
At once to q cooking school,
Poetry never came back again
And Romance was lost or dead,
But Love came shyly fitting back
AS soon a. she learned to make bread.
The moral Of this is 50 plain, I'm sure
You may read II you will but look
Study as much as you please, but be sure
II you marry you know how to cook.

that is probably the reason why the
really hard-up man never gets any

There is no greater mistake than
that made by the man who is selfishly

There is no calling that is not
made better by brains. No matter
what a mans work is, he is better

The most trivial circumstances are
able to put an end to our qualifications;
they are like beds of roses. where it is
very unlikely all the leaves should be

The assumption of virtue is COM

right to it. BY such people any short
coming on the part of others is made
a subject of complaint.-Quirer.
There are two ways (says Frank

diminish our wants or augment our
means. Either will do-the result is
the same; and it is for each man to de-
eide for himself. and do that which
happens to be the easier

TO dread no eye. and to suspect no

ways its horrors and solicitudes; and.
to make it yet more shameful and de-

also; white gloves are now fashionable

light quality with corded backs are the
fashionable choice for visiting and car
