A RemPd for Life's Ills,

We are all born young, and most of us
are born poor. Youth is delightful. but
we are always getting away from it. How
different it would be if we were always 90
ing toward It'll Poverty is unpleasant, and
the great struggle of life is to get rid of it,
but it is the common fortune that in pro-
portion as wealth is attained the capacity
of enjoying it departs. 1t seems, therefore,
that our life is wrong end first. A remedy
that is suggested is that men should be
born rich and old. Instead OF the necessity
of making fortune, which is of less and
less value as death approaches, we should
have only the privilege of spending it, and
it would have its natural end in the cradle,
in which We should be rocked into eternal
sleep.
Born old, one would, of course, inherit
experience, so that wealth could be made
to contribute to happiness, and each day,
instead of lessening the natural powers
and increasing infirmities, would bring
new vigor and capacity of enjoyment. 1t
would be going from winter to autumn,
from autumn TO summer. from summer to
spring The joy of life without care as
TO ways and means and every morning re-
fitted with the pulsations of increasing
youth, is almost impossible TO imagine

The Seven Golden Cities.

The Seven Golden Cities" one of the
most popular legends of the latter part Of
the Dark Ages, were said to be situated
on an island west of the African coast. The
island l. represented as Astounding in gold,
with magnificent houses and temples, 1.-The
high towers of which shown at great dis
tance." The legend also relates that at
the time of the conquest of Spain and Por-
tugal by the Moors, when the inhabitants
fed in every direction TO escape slavery,
seven bishops, followed by great number
of people. took TO ships and put boldly out
on the high seas. After tossing about for
some time they landed on an unknown
island, the famous spot which in after
years became the seat of the Seven Golden
Cities"
This island, Heylyn SAYS, was exact
ly in midocean." After all had landed
safely the wise old bishops burned the ships

so famous 10 song and story. This mys-
FERROUS island was often sought by the
early navigators. Those who went in
search of it and never returned were pop

its inhabitants.-St. Louis Republic.

The Popularity of Poetry.

explanation of the popularity of poetry.
The dilettante, to whom more active sport
is distasteful, must needs find a pursuit.
In business hours the poet may be journal

his publisher, to sympatnize with the last
injustice inflicted by an envious critic

She Was Surprised.

An up town houSekeeper has a cook who
knows very little English. One of the
gentlemen of the family, who breakfasts
late. is accustomed every morning, upon
rising. to call down the speaking tube that
he will soon be ready for breakfast, and he
usually pretaces the message with a few
words in which he informs the person at
the other end of the tube who it is that's
speaking. Its Mr. Jones'" he generally
says. The COOK was instructed by her
mistress TO answer Mr.. Jones' announce
ment with an "All right, SIR" and for a
day or two after her advent into the house
all went well. But there came 4 morning
when, for the life of her the cook could
not think OF the prescribed answer. and

if the corridors had been clear escape
was cut off in that direction. The fire
from the elevator shaft had already
made the stairways impossible. The

through the windows of the rooms.
