Only The same old story. told in different
strain;
Sometimes smile of gladness, and then a
stab of pain;
Sometimes a flash of sunlight, again the
drifting rain.
Sometimes it seems 10 borrow from the
crimson rose its hne;
Sometimes black with thunder, then
changed to brilliant blue;
Sometimes as false as Satan, sometimes as
Heaven true.
Only the same old story But oh, how the

scholar and king;
Sometimes the warmest hand clasp leaves

Sometimes in the hush Of even, sometime

Sometimes with dove like calmness, some
times with passions rife,
We dream it, write it, live it, this weird
wild strry of life

The guinea pig is an absurd little

one of the most remarkable absurdities
about him is his name He is not a

native home is South America.
Why he should have been called q
'spig" no one knows, unless it was on
account of the slight grunting noise

in his case may be corruption of

times been found, though it was first
brought from Brazil

by that he should be called. In his
wild state he is quite differently colored
from the domesticated animal, and
lacks the spotting of white, black and
tawny colcr which the tanned cavy
often has.

that the guinea pig drove away .ordin-

Not a Girl,s Name.

A couple presented themselves before

when the good man asked its name,
the father, who lisped, said:

Nonsense, man." said the indignant
divine, that is not proper name for
child, neither is it fit for girl. You

Testing Their Courage.

''One time, in order to test the cour-
age of Bengal tiger and ion," said
a well known Snowman, 1--WE placed a
shooting cracker in the respective cages
and fired the fuses As soon as the
fuses began to burn they attracted the
attention of both animals, but in a
widely different manner. The lion
drew into corner and watched the
proceedings with a distrustful and un-
easy eye. The tiger, on the contrary,
advanced to the Stunning fuse with a
firm step and unflinching gaze: On
reaching the cracker he took his paw
and began to roll it over the floor, and
and when it exploded beneath his very
nose he did not finch, but continued
his examination until perfectly salts
fed. The lion betrayed great fear
when he heard the report of the explo-
sion, and for quite a time could not be
coaxed out of his den. Cincinnati
