Why should We mourn DER a sorrowful past
And crave for peace that will come at last'
Each life hath woes that are keen TO bear
Its pains and its heartaches and its despair,
1t is better to laugh than sigh and grieve;
To sorrow in tears is not to live
From pain win gain and be contentl
Why should we fear in a halting place
To peer beyond with an eager face?
Each life hath gloom and bewilderiDg waste
Where fruits grow fair that are bitter TO taste.
It is better to haste through thorny way
Than to halt in its path to wait new day
Make fair each care and be contenti
Why should we sigh for dear love, dead,
That was lost to our life by faith misled'
Each life hath joy, that wins and Stays
With its promise of hope and its sad delays.
1t is better to watch by fading CLEAN
Than to waken to gloom from vanished dream
Endure, and thou art sure to find content!
Why should we fail or falter in strife
'Twixt good and the i'll that prevails in life?
In reaching for heights unblest or blest,
Each soul of US hath some war with rest;
| Crowned or uncrowned at the end Of the fight,
| 'Tis better TO battle than flee in alright,
Better to lose than to lament
He hath enough who hath content

Therefore book knowledge is great knowl-
edge Besides, the book is material link
between two persons, a chain made of matter,
l mean, by which they can bind themselves
by reading aloud, and by enjoying together
not only the authors mastery of the theme,
but also his force of language his eloquence,
his poetry, his wit. Reading together is
great bond of union; also it has this advan-
tage, that there is heart lore as well as mind
lore in books, there being poets and story
tellers as wells as historians and philosophers.
There is no point or height in human expert
ence which friends and lovers may not climb
together in books. They may choose from
the circle of the sciences or sweep over the

DR. John c. Peters says it would be an
easy matter to clean city streets and at the
same time purify the ar, by the issue of a
dilution Of bromine. Sixty cents worth car
be diluted in three or four hundred gallons Of
water, which, if sprinkled on the streets
will be found effectual in purifying the germ
laden atmosphere of the heated city. Uset
on the streets it is one of the most powerful
disinfectants. If city streets were sprinklet
with dilution of bromine. the sewers ant
the sub-ways flushed with it, and back alley
and the docks disinfected, it would do muct
to break up diseases which rage in certain
districts of our cities. Herald of Health
