The subject which I am about 70 present is
one OF vital importance and among the most
widely discuss d at the present time. As yet IL
Is somewhat a matter OF speculation, and does
not come within the scope OF knowledge and
therefore one very dinicult to treat properly.
Nevertheless, hope to bring out a few facts
with regard 70 IL which may be OF general inter-
est and at the same time help US b decide in
our minds which is preferable. arbitration or
war,
Arbitration Is the hearing and determination
OF q cause between parties IN controversy, by a
person or persons chosen by the parties. The
person or persons acting as arbitrator ought to
stand perfectly Indifferent between the dis
putants. Arbitration IN international affairs is
OF long stauding and growing rapidly IN favor.

"a DREAM OF THE COD PAM

BIZ Miss Bertha II. DaVfS.
Walking on sweet spring day,
Where the waters dance and play,
Ola streamlet rushing down,
Now by grove and now by town,
Once found grassy dell
Where a nymph might love to dwell
A nymph, or Naiad in a grove
Dreaming Of Narcissu's love.
There / fingered mid the flowers,
Through the hve-long sunny hours,
It'll asleep fell, to dream
Myself Naiad of that stream.
Then there came-ro form of man
But the jocund Cod called Pan
Came, but not with dance or song,
Brought no train of nymphs along
Wrought no antics, played no jokes,
Weary travellers to hoax,
As was ais wont III olden time
In the fair Arcadian ciimei
Yet, with his sage far-seeing power,
later deemed Appollo's dover
This choice he profered then, to me,
Prophetic power, OF poesy.

For one short day aud swell the strain
Ofchoral song that evening through

For when i next essayed to talk,

And danced instead N rhythmic time,

And white have this happy power,
What better theme, than this glad hour
Can claim the tribute Of a song,

Sleep and BEAUTY.

Patti and Lucca, and all the great
singers and actresses and famous beau
tics who, like Mme. Recamier, were
wondrously beautiful at an age when
ordinary women retire from the festive
scenes of the beau monde, understood
the value of this great restorer, and
owed their wcll-preserved beauty to
sleep. An unusually handsome st.
Louis woman, who has at the age of al
most fifty years the fine, well-rounded
figure and elastic step and carriage of q
girl, the delicate, rose-hued skin and
the brilliancy OF youth in her eyes, SAYS
that she has mad" it rule to rotire at
nine o'clock, xce 1T on very rare occa-
sions, and then sne takes nap in tho
afternoon to prevent the i'll effects of
the late hours which arc to follow. Our
American women Of all classes need
more than any other people in the
world tho rest and refreshment which
only sleep can give to overwrought
nerves and overworked systems, for no.
where else do the women live under so
much physical and mental strain.

The area under tillage in 1891 exceeds anything
