AN OLD-scHOOL DOCTOR.

Oh, wee man is my doctor
And he knows no wise old saws;
He has balm for all my troubles,
But he never hens and hawA.
All unwrinkled Is his forehead,
And he wears his long hair curlod
His eyes are blue ard shining,
And he smiles on all the world.
His gown Is quaint In fashion,
Short. to reach dimpied knee
His are tiny feet that patter,
Patter almost ccsselessiy.
When the shadowy dusk Is falling,
And my home again see,
Through the lowest pane he's peering,
And bis healing waits for me.
All my wounds he binds up deity,
And he pours In oil and wine;
Binds them with his arms so tender,
As about my neck they Irvine.
He gives hope OF bright tomorrow,
As his cheek on mine he lays
WEAKNESS Is all forgotten,
CHEEKY grow the darkest days
All! the magic Of his healing
Cant be learned by book or rulel
Heaven has taught this blythe young doctor
OF q very old, old school.

A REALISTIC DEVELOPMENT.
Young Women should Endeavor to Reacl
nm Ideal That All the World Loves.

Young Women should Endeavor to Reach
nm Ideal That All tho World Loves.
The young woman of to-day should
not be deceived into the notion Of q
preferable realistic development be-
cause the novelist OF to-day gets her to
sit to him as his model This may be
no certain indication that she is either
good art or good nature. Indeed she
may be quite drifting away from the
ideal that . woman ought to aim at If
we are to have society that is not al
ways tending into realistic vulgarity
and commonplace. 1t is perfectly true
that a woman is her own excuse for be-
ing. and in = way she is doing enough
for the world by simply being a wom-
an. It is difficult to rouse her to any
sense Of her duty as q standard Of aspi-
ration. And it is difficult to explain
exactly what it is that she is to do. II
she asks il she is expected to be a mod
el woman, the reply must be that the
world does not much banker after
what is called the model woman" II
seems to be more a matter of tendency
than any thing else. Is she sagging to-
wards realism or rising towards ideal
ism? Is she content to be the woman
that some Of the novclists, and some OF
the painters also, say she is or would
she prefer to approach that ideal which
all the world loves? It is question OF
standards.
It is natural that in these days,
when the approved gospel is, that
it is better to be dead than not
to be real. society should try to
approach nature by the way OF the
Enthusiastically ignoble, and even go
at such pace of realism as literature
finds it difficult to keep up with; but it
is doubtful If the young woman will
get around to any desirable state of ma
ture by this route. We may not be
able to explain while servile imitation
of nature degrades art and degrades
woman. but both deteriorate without
an ideal so high that there is no earth
ly model for it.

A Big Sponge.

There is on exhibit on in New York
an enormous sleeps wool sponge which
is said to be the largest one ever OBJ

quite solid throughout. 1t was tished
up near the Bahama islands by the crew
of a vessel engaged in that trade, and
judging by the stories of the fishermen
they had a tough time in getting their
prize aboard. Being in u small dingey

ANOTHER WAR PROBABLE.


Salvador Making Arrangements for Hos
tIities Against Guatemala.
CITY OF MEXICO, April 29.-It is an
nounced that the governments of san
Salvador and Honduras have arranged a
treaty of alliance between the two
countries. The treaty provides that in
case difficulties arise between San Sal
vador and Honduras. they will be sub
jected to arbitration, and in the event of
a war between either Of the powers and
another power, each Of the countries
named viii admit the others products
free of duty.
The projected inter-Oceanic railroad of
Honduras will he accessible to SAN Sal
vador in case of war and San Salvador
will build branch from Puerto Union
to the main line and this branch will be
free to Honduras under like circum-
stances.
1t is very plain to be seen that the
object of San Salvador in effecting this
treaty is to isolate Guatemala in the
event of war between these two coun-
tries According to advices from SAN
Salvador such conflict is not far dis
tant, while dispatches from Guatemala
say that peace is impossible i'll Central
America on account of the hatred of the
Salyadorans for the Guatemalans.
