LIFE AND LOVE.

Life is q garden fair and free,
But It's love that holds the golden key,
For hand and heart
Once held apart,
Lies flowers are dashed with storm Of sor-
row;
And bloom to-day may be blight tomorrow;
Then needless ever of wind and weather,
Let life and love be linked together,
Life is a diamond rich and rare,
But love is a cluster that dances there;
For hand and heart
Once held apart,
Life's Jewels grow dim in the breath of sor-
row,
And diamond to-day may be dust to-mor-
low;
Then needless of the wind and weather,
Let life and love be linked together.
Life hath a fair and sunshine face,
But love is a beauty that gives it grace,
For hand and heart
Once held apart,
The sweetest cheeks are paled with sorrow,
And blush to-day may be blanched to-mor-
row;
Then needless ever of wind and weather,
Let life and love be linked together.

The population Of Canada Il estimated

The population of Canada lis estimated
u y 200, 900, an increase Of nearly 7oo,-
600 in ten years. A hundred years ago
the population of the United States was
, 1929, 900, Of Canada 156, ooo. In 1861
British Columbia had 5000 people, in
1881 the population numbered 40, 459.
These figures show, calculates the Prairie
Farmer, that Canada has grown proper
tionately at a faster rate than the United
STATES. She has increased thirty-two
fold, while the United States has in
creased sixteen.

Plan to Roof the Sidewalks.

The idea is being seriously discussed
asto the value Of a glass roof, or avn
ing, thrown over the sidewalk at the
height of the first story, its purpose be.
ing primarily to protect pedestrians from
the rain; and secondly, from the bril-
liancy of the sun. So practical and
feasible does this plan appear that it has
been decided to test it by erecting such
an awning on the streets of Queensgate.
A number of business men, who have
large stores along the principal avenues
in that section of London, have deter.
mined to combine, and undertake 10 put

A SONG

In the heart Of a man
Is a thought upfurled:
Reached its full span
1t shakes the world,
And to one high thought
Is a whole race wrought.
Not with vain noise
The great work grows,
Nor with foolish voice,
But in repose,-
Not in the rush,
Butt in the hush.
From cogent lash
OF the cloud-herd wind
The low clouds dash,
Blown headlong, blind;
But, beyond, the great blue.
Looks moveless through.
Der the loud world sweep
The scourge and the rod,
But in deep beyond deep
Is the stiffness of Cod
At the Fountain of Life
No cry-no strife!

the membership has increased 600 dur

ing now l4,057. There has been organ.
lied during the year CO new lodges,
making a total Of 367 now iu existence.
The organization embraces all Of the
States in the Union and territories, as
we'll AS Canada, Ireland and Sweden.
Disability and death claims to the total
OF nearly $275 900 have been paid during
the year. Or the total OF 275 claims,
over200 resulted from railroad accidents.
Particular stress is laid upon the fact
that 1870 Of the deaths resulted from the
coupler now in use, and that the re.
mainder Of the accidents were almost
entirely, traceable to the fact that the
post Of duty Of the brakeman is on the
top OF the cars. The report OF tho Grand
Secretary will justify the decision ar-
rived at in favor OF nou-interference on
the New. York Central. The convention
will be in session for over week.
