i'll his mothers arms. On the next
morning she said to her sister, calf is
going to die" The child had no definite
disease, but was wasting away, and it
was argued to her that the returning
spring would restore the health lost dur
ing the winter. No" was her answer
"He was lying asleep in my arms last
night, and William (her husband) came
to me and said that he wanted ALT with
him, but that l might keep the other
two" In vain she was assured that she
had been dreaming; that it was quite
natural that she should dream about her
husband, and that her anxiety for the
child had given the dream its shape.
Nothing would persuade her that she
had not seen her husband or that the in
formation he had given her was not true.
So it was no matter Of surprise to her
when i'll the following March her arms
were empty and Il waxcn form lay life

Tragedy of Literary Disappointment.

An English periodical says disappoint-

has tragic results. Recently n gentle
man committed suicide because he had
had an article rejected, and confcc-
toners assistant Slot himself because
though he had written several books,
they were all rejected. The article goes
on sagely: Yet he went on writing to
the last, unable to see that he was pro-
ducing what was not wanted Nova
days there is n market for what is good
in any class of literature, and the writer
who cannot secure u publisher may rest
assured either that he is not ready for a
public appearance, or that he has been
denied the gifts with which he fancies
himself to be endowed"

If a little water be added to the glycer-

the water will separate and form crys-
