Haskell & Haskell. Miss Elizabeth u
Gates. already well known as a lecturer,
is the author of this significant and ex-
pressive title. 1t will doubtless come
into general use as the new order of
things makes a term simplifying the
business partnership Of men and women
necessary, and this would apply equally
well to such persons, married or single.

In The Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the course OF
bladder and kidney complaints is when the
organs concerned exhibit a tendency 10
grow inactive. The healthful impulse to-
ward activity that they receive from
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them
from impending danger, and averts such
dangerous maladies as Bright's disease and
diabetes. Sluggishness of the kidneys in
creases liability to chronic rheumatism
govt and dropsy, and since the blood is
filtered by these organs in its passage
through them, the operation OF the bitters
serves doubly happy purpose. The med.
icine acts without exciting, like the fiery
stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dy S.
peptic, constpated and nervous invalids
are thoroughly relieved by it. Since the
advent of that shocking mA!ady, la grippe,
it has been widely demonstrating its use

why Southerners Have Good Voices


Life in the country, especially in on:
southern country, where people live
far apart and were employed oftentime,
at a considerable distance from one an
other, and from the houses or homes ii
which they ate and slept, tended, by ex
ercise in communicating with one an
other, to strengthen and improve thu
voices for high and prolonged notes. A
wider range to the vocal sounds wa>
constantly afforded and frequently re
quired.
Hallooing, screaming, yelling for one
person or another, to their dogs, or at
some of their cattle on the plantation
with the accompanying reverberations
from hilltops, over valleys and plains
were familiar sounds throughout The
farming districts of the south in the
days gone by. 1t used to be said of my
fathers old negro foreman that he coull
be distinctly understood mile or mort
away.
Hunting, which was enjoyed and III
dulged in more or less by nearly every
citizen of the south, was also conducive
to this characteristic development.-D

Baron Gemmineen, lieutenant field
marshal and inspector general OF the
Austrian cavalry, who died at his home
In Gutleberg, Austria, two weeks ago,
had been an active soldier for almost
half century.
When, on the afternoon Of his death,
his physician told him he had but an
hour or two more to live, the old man
sat up in bed and called to his military
attendant in the next room. The soldier
came. Bring my parade uniform, -
commanded the general. The uniform
was brought. "Now put it on me. "
The order was obeyed, while the old SOL
der gasped heavily for breath.
"Have Fritz send in broiled chicken,
bottle Of Sec, and an imported cigar.
The order was filed, and the tray was
laid on the generals bed. He ate a
little and drank much. He lighted the
cigar. He smoked it half down without
taking it from his mouth. As he re-
moved it to knock off the ashes, the end
came. He sank back with the cigar
still between his fingers, and died before
it went out.-New York Sun.

A Question to Puzzle Over.

He was 'likely" looking Afro-Amer-
lean, and as he boarded the elevated!
train at Twenty -eighth street attracted
no small amount of attention. He be
took himself to one of the cross seats,
facing the rear of the car. AS he set
tied himself comfortably, one of the
two male passengers seated opposit,
said to his companion in what was
evidently intended to be an undertone.
but which was nevertheless plainly an
dible, "Do your people permit colore''
folks to ride in first class compartments
in public conveyances?' What the re-
ply to the question may have been will
never be known. AS for. the occasion of
the query, he did not betray by so much
as the movement of muscle or the
culver of an eyelash that he had over
heard what had been said.
But just before Blocker street was
reached he Strengthened himself up and
addressed the inquirer. dis yere aim

wondered if they had been given new

Reconectiona 81 oxsora.

My not being at a public school has, I
have no doubt, strengthened my love Of
INV university and my college. In nv
time the "head masters" had not had
everything their own way. It was pos
sible to enter Oxford at the age of nine
teen-it was nothing wonderful to get q
scholarship before eighteen or even
earlier still. And to be scholar and fell
low of Trinity from 1871 to 1S47 was
something to be. It was indeed a circle
to look back to of which fifty years ago
was chosen member, circle of which a
man is much to be blamed if he is not
wiser and nobler for having been one,
But love of the foundation, the feeling
of membership, of brotherhood, in an
ancient and honorable body, the feeling
of full possession in ones college as a
home, the feeling of personal nearness
to q benefactor of past times, all that
gathers round the scholarship that was
something worthier than a mere prize,
the fellowship that was something
worthier than crammer's wages-all
this, hope, has not even yet utterly
vanished, but under the hands of one re-
forming commission after another, such
feelings have undoubtedly greatly weak
ened in the Oxford to which I have come
back.
In the unreformed university, the I'M
reformed college in which 1 had the
happiness to spend my youth, we had
time to learn something, because we
were not always being taught We
were not kept through our whole time,
vexed by examination after examination,
examined in this subject one term, in
that subject the next term, all ingenious
ly combined for the better forgetting of
one thing before the next was taken in.
We had one examination, and search
ing one, the successful passing of which
could not seem to any but fool to be
the goal of study, but which, by the
reading it required, gave man the best
possible start for study in several
branches of neutrality-suspicious. A.

The Truo Artist.

Henry Norman gives the following
instance Of modest self estimate in thu
case of a man who is one of the most
Bkillful and original artifcers in the
world, and whose works are everywhere
admired:
This ivory carver sat in his little room,
open to his little garden, chiseling upon
a magnificent tusk, from which was
just emerging a very graceful female
figure. The ivory he held between hi,
knees, and the tools were spread out al
his side.
"How long will this take your i
asked.
about four months" he replied.
''And what is the proportion between
the value of the material and the value
of the labor in such work as this when
completed?"
Il paid $40 for this piece of ivory
said he, and four months work, at So
a month, is $780,"
And this man was estimating his wor!;
at less than forty American dollars i,
month! His was the true artists ten
permanent, for he was willing to accept
only what would supply him with the
necessaries of life, depending for his
actual reward on the joy of seeking to
do perfect work.
'Are you not very sorry sometimes,
asked I, "to part with one Of these works.
that have been companions and part
of your life for so long?"
He looked up for minute at a great
white lily nodding above him in the
garden, and then gently shook his head
NO." he said. Il expect the next to
be more beautiful still"

A METAMO OSiS

A roaring, clustering beast OF March
Set free from out cloud hung arch
In pallid skies; as dim Of dye
And cold as frosted violet's eye.
A lion March that shakes his name
To fright those steeds Of golden rein.
Whose charioteer drives on apace,
With steady splendor, godlike grace.
For sand by sand, and hour by hour.
And day by day, Apollo's power
Repels the dark, encroaching night
With long and longer shafts Of light.
The lion ha1ts. His rolling eyes
Are fixed as with a SPELLS surprise,
For emerald grasses rock and rise
Beneath his feet like lullabies.
The soothing zephyrs charm his ear;
The Psyche butterflies appear
On restless wings aflame, and fam
To search for missing Love again;
The blossom bells are swaying fine
To rhythms Of some thought divine.
The lion In the path Of Spring
Has couched, and low is listening
To melodies, like waterfalls,
OF choiring birds, whose crystal ,,alls
Make herald's way before her feet
Who comes like Una, pure and sweet,
In blush haze-her lucent veil
And trailing garments virginia.
OF green and white, all blossom wreathed -
The fairest fancy heaven hath breathed
Or earth has crowned. The lion dumb,
With desert vision, sees her come.
Beside him sweeps her fragrant gown;
Her hand is laid like thistledown
Upon his head. Oh, wondrous sighti
His sulphurous name to 1eeces waits
AS those impaired in yonder blue,
New dipt in Flora's mountain dew,
Has changed; his eyes are mild and calm;
The lion stands confessed-a lamb.
