LOVES Z. IMAGINING.

Dear love, sometimes think how IL would be
II thou shouldst love me; II, on such day,
day of wonderl thou shouldst come and say,
tlove thee; or but let me guess thy plea
IL once thine eyes should brighten suddenly;
II once thy step should hasten or delay
Because Of me; IL once thy hand should stay
needless instant in my own! All, mel
From such imaginings / wake and start,
And dull and worthless life's endeavors seem
Before the tender beauty Of my dream
And then whisper my impatient heart,
BE still, be comforted, o heart Of mine;
Thou art not all bereft; the dream is thine"
-Hopestil Goodwin in The Century.

Problems to Be Solved.

When the mind bridges over the past
fifty years and contemplates the enor-
nous advance which has been made in
the practical application Of science to
everyday wants, it seems surprising that
there should still be many absolute neces-
sites unfulfilled. Among these are a
miners real safety lamp, a perfectly safe
method of blasting without risk Of ex-
plosion, electric lighting economically pro-
1uced from primary batteries, improved
methods of arresting decomposition in
animal substances, perfect method Of
insulating telegraph wires, etc. Doubt
less, however, these and many more
startling scientific inventions are problems
which the near future will solve.-New
York Press.

In about another decade the American
and Canadian legislative bodies will not
be absorbed with arguments on the home
and habits of the festive Goldfish. He is
slowly disappearing from our coasts, and
the banks of Newfoundland which knew
him once know him no more. Fishermen
now practice deep sea fishing with very
poor results, as the cod seems to fight shy
of all bait. While we consider these facts
our attention is directed to the other side
of the globe, where immense schools of
Goldfish are reported on the west coast of
Africa, although they have never been
heard of in that quarter before. They
must have grown tired of the eternal
squabbling about their feeding grounds
and have emigrated to neutral territory.
Queer, isn't it? About the opening of the
next century Goldfish will be a rare deli
cacy, and in 1850 or Whereabouts the secret
of that delightful democratic dish known
as the Goldfish ball will only linger as a
memory in the chronicles of the cuisine.

Ur course, the solution is easy, the
labor put upon the lower limbs is greater
than that which falls upon the arms to
do. The business man, when told by his
physician that he must exercise, insists
that he has all that he needs, for he is
con his feet from morning until night"
and the hard working housekeeper thinks,
too, she has quite enough, and gives the
same reason. We find these people strong
on their feet, out comparatively weak in
their arms. Circulation in the lower half
of the body is good, but in the upper part
it is less free, and less blood is attracted
to it. The natural adjustment is de-
stroyed. Nature intends that certain
portion of blood in the human body should
enter and distribute itself throughout the
muscular system. If, however, large
muscles, like those of the arms and trunk,
are insufficiently exercised, and as a con-
sequence grow smaller, then the blood in
tended for them is diverted elsewhere. 1t
must be taken up by the internal organs,
and the liver is the one organ which,
from it's peculiar construction, will bear
the greatest increase in the blood supply.

Story of q Picture.

A curious story Is told about one Of the
paintings by the famous artist David,
which is included in collection about to
be sold at Brussels, Belgium. 1t bears
the title of Family Portraits" yet only
one figure is represented on the canvas,
that of an old lady seated in an arm chair.
The chair itself was Of a later style than
the date of the painting. In spite Of these
peculiarities M. Van Praet, the late
owner, had purchased the work. He
then had it cleaned and carefully scraped,
in the course of which operation the
family portraits" were successfully
brought to light. 1t was afterward as
certained that the old lady, who had sat
to David for her portrait, surrounded by
all the members Of her family, had
gradually quarreled with them all in turn
and had had their portraits painted over
one by one, until she alone of the group
remained, sitting in that preposterous
looking chair of hers.-Home Journal

1t is about time for public opinion to
.an halt in the museum freak bust
ness; the public display, at so much a
head, of wretched deformities of mis-
shapen creatures. 1t is time to suppress
the posters that reproduce these mon
strosities in yet more aggravated distor-
ton, compelling unwilling eyes to rest
upon their hideousness at every street
corner. Every intelligent adult, man or
woman, knows that the sight Of a repul-
sive deformity can and does lead to the
gravest consequences, and it will not be
necessary here to be more explicit.

Unsynmetrical Physical go. opment.
Perfect symmetrical development is
rarely found in man or woman. OF
course, those who work with their hands
and are much on their feet generally excel
in form, but there is a tendency in all for
some limb or parts Of the body to become
stronger and better developed than the
others. To occupation can be attributed
this disparity, which, however, unless
marked, is not of great significance. Ex-
Guiding from consideration that class
given to hard manual labor, we find that,
in the majority Of men and women, after
the age of maturity is reached, the upper
half of the body does not retain its rela-
tive development and strength as COM

PROTECTION IN GERMANY.
Its Effect ON wagss-Industry stimulated
and Prices Lessenct.

and Prices Lessencd.
A good deal Is said Of the fact that
wages In Germany are lower than in Eng
land. while the one Is q protection and
the other free trade country. Let the
comparison alone; the question Is. what
has been the effect of the adoption Of a
protective system in Germany? In the
Iron and steel industry alone the number
employed advanced. In FIVE years of pro
lection from 10000 to $4,000, and the
wages of the 214.000 increased II pei
cent.
The London Times said; 'Since the
new laws affecting tho customs duties
came into force in Germany the textile
industry of that country has made most
remarkable progress. Not only have
branches of that industry, which were
before in the most loaguishing condition.
sprung into vigorous life, but entirely
new modes Of production have been Gre.
ated."
A leading lace manufacturer of Eng
land said to the writer last year In Not
tingham that the new tariff laws of Ger.
many had so developed the skill and in
dustry of lace makers in that country as
to practically drive English made laces
out of the market. At the time he spoke
the lace trade was In utter paralysis, and
he gave the German tariff as one Of the
reasons.
Mr.. George Strachey, her majestys
charge d'affaires at Dresden, In a recent re-
port informs his government that ''protec-
ton Is in the national air, and 1t will not
be dissipated by foreign arguments, how
ever accurately deduced from the axioms
of scientific doctrine"
The New York Press well says: PRO
lection has increased the German work
mans pay; 1t has given him more work;
1t has cheapened the cost Of commodities
to the German consumer, increased ex-
portation, and generally benefited tho
country. "-Indianapolis Journal.
