fine opportunity for the impecunious
student if the present programme is
carried out. Tuition in every depart

no student need spend more than 5000 a

OUT OF THE SWIM.

He walks life's highway with sullen tread
He Is out Of the swim.
He eats the dole that charity gives,
In tho wilds OF nature alone he lives,
He sleeps meath heavens starry brim-
He Is out OF the swim.
Once he had honor and friends, but now
lilo Is out of the swim.
Men coveted then his lordly bow
He Is out Of the swim
There ore none 80 poor as to take his hand
And call him brother In all the land,
But they hasten TO turn aside from him

He has nothing to hold him now to life
He Is out OF the SWIM
Neither friends nor fortune, child nor wife
He Is out of the swim.
There's nobody but himself to blame,
His heart Is scared with remorse and shame;
Through his own mistake--not fortunes whin-
He Is out OF the swim.
The moonlight rests on peaceful face
He Is out Of the swim.
Dear God, forgive in Thy infinite gracei--
Hois out of the SWIM
Out OF life's maddening roar and fret,
Out OF temptations that 80 beset;
God, who made US, will care for him
He Is out Of the swim

The three filed in the alley gate and

that nothing is more picturesque and
takes up less room than a piece in the
corner. A large comfortable Turkish

are all pretty and desirable. A little

oak may cost five dollars and half,

Dangers of Following the Fashion,

Caprices of fashion sometimes carry
good ideas or articles to the topmost
wave of success, after years of persist
ent and unavailing effort to popularize
them. Common-sense shoes became
fashionable, then everybody wore them.
The statuesque waist was called artistic
and became a craze. Physical exercise
has been carried TO excess; and dieting,
good In It's way, has been the means OF
undermining many constitution un-
able TO bear the burden Of life on q
strictly hygienic bill Of fare. Some per-
sons require an abundance of nourish-
ing food. others do well on a restricted
diet. 1t is the extreme Of folly TO think
that all persons should use or refrain
from using the same articles of food 1t
is positive cruelty to force children to
eat things they do not hke.-N. y

A CERTAIN RELIEF.

Many aged people suffer
greatly with a dry, hard cough,
a painful feeling of tightness
and oppression across the
chest and a sense of a dull un-
comfortable pain in the side.
They carry this about year
after year. sometimes feeling
better and sometimes worse,
but never being able to throw
it entirely of. They fancy
that it is one of the accompani
ments of old age which they
must perforce put up with as
best as they can. This need
not be the case, all of these
symptoms are simply the result
of Inflammation more or less
pronounced of the air passages
of the lungs, and Of the thin
membrane that continues tn cir
1 ming. They cat be relieved
by taking Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. 1t is
the best remedy for old age
that was ever discovered be-
cause it is in itself stimulating
ana nutritious and aids the en-
feebled digestive organs to re-
gain their former tone.

The result of the election has not bee D

which Parnen has shown, in face of tie
united efforts of the English Liberal
party, the Irish hierarchy, and the new
national federation. Parnell isacknowl :

formidable minority, which, while not
strong enough to have its own way, is too
strong to be treated with anything like
indifference. A leading member of par

Parnell Too Big To BE Ignored.
Nothing could show" he said, 'more
strlkingly the wonderful influence OF
Parnell than the fact that, almost single
handed, with most of his ADLER lieutenants
absent from the country, and with the
terrible weight of the O'Shea divorce upon
