The Editors Pants.
Lives of poor men oft remind US
Honest men won't stand no chance:
The more we work there grow behind us
Bigger patches on our pants.
On our pants once new and glossy.
Now are stripes of different hue.
All because subscribers linger
And won't pay us what is due.
Then let Us be up and doing;
Send in your mite, however small,
Or when the snow of winter strikes us
We shall have no pants at all.

often exchanges interesting clippings.

the following, cut from a small paper

The pretty girl. with a quick glance O

She had IA long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to "a strap. Two

A nickel dropped TO the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is par. #
the plan, but it is executed dexterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured. How awkward Of me-
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but seven men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the point, as the artfu'
maiden dropped into . comfortable sect

Rough, browni.h oranges are said
to carry in their complexion Il guar
antee of sweetness. the peculiar ap.
pearance being due to the attacks of
insects who have selected them for
this very quality. This may be true,
Dut it would be hard to find better
oranges than some of the smooth
skinned. heavy fruit that are beauti-
full as well as good. In the choice of
oranges the matter of flavor seems
to be surprisingly ignored. The aver
age man or woman prefers a very
sweet orange. and likes Floridas be-
cause they Ire sweet. There is q
finer favor, however, in the Mediter-
ranean fruit. For some a this

Fuses about taxes don't always pay
a truth that is as forcible on the Maine
side Of the border as in Canada. IL i.
illustrated by the experience of a Cana.
dian farmer whose land, mostly in one
parish, extended a little within the
bounds Of another parish-St. Ours-in
which he was subjected to a tax of Al
cents. He refused to pay, and a suit en-
sued. He Won at first. but al appeal was
taken. with the result that after a long
fight the case wa decided against him,
and he had not only the tax TO pay with
interest, but ~ 200 III costs and expenses
besides, taking his whole farm. He prob
ably will have satisfaction from the
suit-he will not have any more taxes to
pay.-Lewiston journal.

The Antiuuit. of the Lark.

The very first thought suggested by a
study of the migration of birds is one of
time. In tracing the migratory habit to
its origin we find the history reaching
back to the times previous to man, and
we begin to realize how ancient is the
aristocracy of the air. The lark did not
come over with William the Conqueror,
but his armorial bearing, if he thought it
worth while to have any, would antedate
those Of every noble family in Great
Britain.-Mrs. J. 3. Southworth in Al
