pAlsY-FRosT AND AsTER-sNow.

In childhood's fair and gladsome cline
Thro' realms OF innocence we go,
Whose evry mead is gcmmed with rime
OF daisy-frost and aster-snowl
No dream have we OF colder drifts
As, tow'rd the magic CLEAN and glow
or hope, we move through cd drous riffs
OF daisyfrost and aster-snowi
All, happy, happy childhood days
Whose fragrant zephyrs gently blow;
Whose leas are blanched where'er we gaze
With daisy frost and aster-snowi
There song birds thrill the radiant hours;
There sparkling draughts Of gladness flow;
There we look forth from jeweled towers
Pom daisy-frost and aster-snowl
Alas, that life should ever bring
The hours when roaring tempests blow:
When joys, affrighted cease to sing
Mid daisy frost and aster-snow!
But soon, so soon we hear the sigh
OF swelling windsl How quickly grow
The darls-plumed clouds that gloom our SKI
Ger daisy-frost and aster-snow!
Our shaken towers dissolve to dust,
And ashen heaps around us show
How frail are joys in which we trust
Like daisy-frost and aSter-Suowl
Ere age has come with chaplets hoar,
We've laid so many sweet faiths low,
And learned how transient is the store
OF daisy-frost and aster-snowl
But there's a land of lasting cheer,
Where faiths frution we shall know,
And reap the harvests cherished hero
Meath daisy y-frost and aster-snowl

He sprang away; he tore along the

little tongue of beautiful flame licking

The Tiger went toward him. "Who

knife dropped from his fingers, and he
seized the old man, who fought him,
calling his name-calling ''murder"
The Tigers coat was wrapped round
the old mans whitened head; he was
fighting his way through the crack

were gone; with his struggling burden
he took an awful leap, going through a

The first grand parade of the un-
employed of New York city will be
held on Labor Day, September 2, and
the originators of the display expect
to have fully 100000 workingmen
without work in line that day. This
will be the first demonstration of its
kind in any large city. Various
trades have at times parades of their
unemployed, but the coming one is to
be the only general parade yet seen.
1t is in order to have explanations as
to the cause of so many men being
idle. The Mckinley law is still in
full blast and the great protective
tariff is untouched. Why, then,
should workingmen be idle, if all we
have heard about protection is true ?
Its no use to indulge in baby talk
about the silver scare. That does
not explain the matter.

his "course as court reporter had

can be accurately determined by the
sense of hearing alone The ear
should be applied to one end of the
beam, while the other is struck with

distinct and sharp, the beam is sound

Two UnidcaliZed statues ON Exhibition

Two interesting statues, the result
of much hard work, were put on eX-
hibition in Boston recently. One was
that Of young man and the other
that Of girl. They were designed
to represent the American college
student. not the ideal American stu
dent of either sex, but the actual,
typical student, the measurements
used having been the average, or
mean, of development of students.
from various, parts of the country.
Inc statues are described by the
Rochester Post and Express as rep
resenting fairly well built young
persons, symmctrically developed.
and without serious physical defects
The figures have an easy pose. stand
ing firmly and gracefully. The faces.
which were modelled after com
posite photographs made from
tho students from whom the measure
ments were taken, are handsome
and thoughtful. with marked air Of
refinement The face of tho young
man is the handsomer of the two, but
that of the young woman is nearest
the classic standard. In the formers
figure there are some marked de-
partures from the standard. The
hands and knees are large, while the
wrists are small. The height OF the
male is five feet eight inches and OF
the female five feet three inches. The
male represents u weight OF 1881
pounds and the female ll5 pounds.
Each figure represents measurements
taken from forty-two leading parts OF
the body and these show the average
development OF each sex at II years.
1t is worthy of note that the typical
American student has better phys
ical development than that of the
British or German, as shown by com
parison with measurements made re
