A DAY cream.

When high above the busy street
Some hidden voice poured Mary's song.
Oh. h my soul forgot the beat
And roaring of the city's throng.
Then Boston bells and cries fell low,
Blent to a far and murmured tone
That changed and chimed in mystic how.
Weaving a spell for me alone.
No more the towering blocks were there.
No longer pressed the crowds around.
All freely roamed q magic air
Within what vast horizons bound:
Beneath a sly of lucent gray
Far stretched the circled northern plain,
Wild s~untioweIs decked a prairie gay.
And one dear autumn came again.
Before me trod a winsome maid.
And. oh. the mien with which she steptI
Her soft, brown hair without a braid
Hiding the shoulders where it swept.
And glancing backward now she gave
To me that smile so kind and wise.
The radiant look from ey ; SO grave
That spoke her Utmost pa atise.
Divineiy on my dau t.,r went,
The wild flowers leaning from her tread,
Dreaming she lived | watched intent
TIL. all. the gracious vision fled.
The plfil gave place 10 blocks OF gray.
The sun u botren 10 mlrNy cloud.
Staring / stood in common lay
And never knew the streets so loud.

The MONKEYS Thumb,

Here is a little bit of natural history
which must be remembered about mon-
keys. All the monkeys of the old world
have some kind of a thumb. As Mr.. St.
George Mivart, a great zoologist writes.
ANY old world monkey with a rudi-
mentary thumb that is, a thumb even
II imperfect) is superior in that respect
to an American monkey" In fact the
American monkey has no thumb at all.
Nature compensates in a measure for
this defect in our new world monkey by
giving him a wonderful tail. This Amer
lean monkey tail is ~prehensile. 1t an
almost the purpose Of a fifth
limb. A South American monkey gives
his tail a single hitch around the limb Of
. tree, and there he hangs quite CON-
fortably. independent of hands or feet.

The Medical PrOfesaion.

Every new treatment. every fresh
drug. every medicine that is discovered
is one more drop from the great ocean
of knowledge segregated that we may
study it for the benefit Of mankind. In
it there are good and evil, but if we ap-
proach it with reversnt earnestness and
study that we may know we can assure
ourselves that we are helping on the
great science to which we have devoted
u lives. This is reward enough, and
this reward shall surely come to the
physician who will work. The amelio-
ration of the physical ills of man is the
end and aim of our most noble profes
sion. and it is pleasant to remember that
even the enthusiasts aid in the great
work by their devotion to their fads.-

Review.
