Love is material pantheism.
Women are great in small things.
Most men outlive their usefulness.

A bath is often times great moralizer.
The man who can't tell lie is dead.
A man will get fat quicker on paid-for

1t is almost as difficult to stay there as
to get there.
A rose would not be half rose with
out thorn.
Cupid does not care whether he pays
house rent or not.

them into one common, prolonged and
advancing existence.

liberty, there is no enjoyment Of life,
unless a man can say, when he rises in
the morning: "I shall be subject to the
decision of no unwise judge to-day"

The Lungs of a Plant.

One of the prettiest microscopical
studies is the examination of the lungs
of plant. Most people do not know
a plant has lungs, but it has, and its lungs
are in its leaves. Examined through
hlgh.power microscope, every leaf
will show thousands upon thousands of
openings, infinitely small, of course, but
each provided with lips which, in many
species, are continually opening and
closing. These openings lead to tiny
cavities in the body OF the leaf, aud by
the opening and closing OF the cavity
air is continually passing in aud out, so
that the act of respiration is continually
going on. The sap Of the plant is thus
purified, just as the blood of an animal
is cleared of impurities by passing
through the lungs, and the average
sized tree will, therefore, in the course
of day, do as much breathing as a
man.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Growth of the Poetry Habit.

"When 1 began writing verse;" said
Mr.. Whittier once to the writer, sit was
considered a great gift to be able to
make rhyme with any facility. Percival
and Bryant were the active poets then.
Now almost any one can turn couplet
OF stanza and many write poetry which
in a less voluminous time would be re.
garded as remarkable" Nothing so
emphasizes the advance in general cul.
ture in this country as the fact indi.
Gated by Mr.. Whittier in that remark.
1t is a more difficult thing to achieve a
reputation as a poet now than half
century ago, and there is no occasion to
greve because we have so many "verse

THE TIMES.


The times are not degeneratel Mans faith
Hiounts higher than of old. No crumb-
ling creed
Can take from the immortal soul its need
OF something greater than itself. The
wrath
OF dead beliefs we cherished In our youth
Fades but to let us welcome newborn
truth.
Man may not worship at the ancient shrine
Prone on his face in self-accusing scorn
That night is passed; he halls fairer
morn.
And knows himself a something half divine
No humble worm whose heritage is sin,
But part Of God-he feels the Christ
withini
No fierce Jehovah with frowning mien
He worships. Nay. through love and not
through fear
He seeks the truth, and finds its source is
near,
And feels and owns the power OF things un.
Where once he scofHed. Gods great pri-
meval plan
Is fast unfolding in the soul Of man.

RECoMPENsE.

When the haze Of autumn days
Settles over dale and hill,
And the notes from wood-birds threats
Break the silence deep and still
When the breezes bring chill.
Then we feel over us steal
Something Of sadness and dread,
Sweet regret and yearnings yet
For the summer that is dead,
For the sunshine that is fed.
But we know every woe
Has a joy-not wholly sighs
Is our life, not wholly strife.
Though we miss the sun we prize
1t is farewell to the flies.

The explorer Coudreau found awhile avr
while wandering among the Tumuc-Hu
mac mountains IN the western part of
Guiana, that it was not necessary for hi,
men to descend TO a creek when they
wanted drink Of water. 4 vine known
as the water vine is found all through that
region 1t yields an abundant supply Of
excellent drinking fluid whenever it is
called upon. This vine grows to height
OF sixty to ninety feet. 1t is usually about
as thick as the upper part of the human
arm. 1t winds itself loosely around trees
chambers up to their submits and then
falls down perpendicularly to the ground.
where il takes root again,
The natives cut this vine off at the
ground and then, at a height of about six
or seven feet, they cut it again, which
leaves in their hands very stout piece of
wood little longer than themselves. In
order to obtain its sap they raise the lower
END OF the vine upon some support and ap-
ply the upper end to their mouths. The
section of the vine, while showing a
smooth, apparently compact surface, is
pierced with many little veins through
which the sap flows freely Six feet of the
VINE gives about pint of water, which is
slightly sweet to the taste. Coudreau saws
that it queHches thirst as effectively as
water from the most refreshing brook.

sale, which is conducted on the principle
of reducing bids That is to say, the tax
collector must accept the bid OF the man
who will pay the delinquent taxes and
take the least fraction Of the lot in nav
ment therefor theoretically you might
suppose bidder wouldn't be willing ia
take a fraction intrinsically worth less than
the taxes he would have to pay; but prac-
tlcalIy that consideration doesn't come in
at all, since his ownership of even an in
intestinal portion Of the lot prevents any
one else from getting clear title to it, and
IN That way he is amply secured for the
amount of taxes he pays.
For this reason rival bidders at these
sales are in the habit Of bidding for ex.

IN The North American Review the is
sues that will decide the next presiden

Senator Mcmillan states briefly the

he says these issues will be the tariff
finances and the franchise. Senator
Frank Hiscock declares that in his iudg-

economic question of the tariff will be
made by the present Democratic house
OF representatives. All are agreed that
the one bowling question will be the
tariff, Second, will be the matter of
our gold and silver coinage.
Hon. W. G. P Breckenridge calcu-
iates the chances of his party for carry
ing the election. He says it will require
the electoral vote Of the sixteen southern
states. and in addition that of New
York, Indiana, Michigan and New Jer-
sey He says that the Independent
voters, those on whom party allegiance
sits lightly, are gaining more and more
influence in the country "They hold

ridge declares that questions about
which there is difference of opinion in
the Democracy should be dropped out of

Tn the whole the result of the

aging to Republicans generally

particularly discouraging to the Demo

great Republican boasts on the STRENGTH
OF 1t, though large enough to indicate
beyond reasonable doubt that in 81
general election in which party lines
are so clearly defined as they are in q
presidential campaign there is not tbe
slightest likelihood that the CITY will
go Democratic-not this year, perhaps
some other year. There is need. how.
ever for Republicans to be more alert
and active than they have been for the
PAST TWO years. They must rouse
themselves from their semi-letbaryic
state if they wish to avoid the real
danger of Democratic success in the
near future. The result Of tbe Seattle
and Tacoma elections should he q
