The President of life insurance
company has recently made public
some interesting facts concerning sui
eide. 1t said that in 1877. of the peo-
pie whose lives were insured, 129 per
cent. died by their own hands Since
then the life insurance companies have
practically discontinued the policy of
refusing to pay in case of suicide, and
the result is that the ratio of suicides
to the insured population has increased
alarmingly, The President whose
statements we have quoted saws. eft
is passing strange that men will DELHI
erately contrive the means of their
own destruction in order TO get the
best of life insurance company and
leave money to those who come after
them. Perhaps there is nothing very
strange in it, comments the Atlanta
Constitution. In this country there
ERE plenty of men who are afraid of
nothing In this world or in the next.
The only good thing about them is the
natural affection they feel for their
families. They belong to the utterly
hopeless and desperate class They
see no chance of providing for the i'm
mediate wants of their loved ones nm
less they insure their lives and step
put of the world. Free-thinking in
religion and our social conditions are
largely responsible for this state of
affairs. The life insurance companies
will have to change their regulations
when they find that very large per-
,entage of their customers do not con-
ider life worth living.

Right willingly Rob took off his
calico shirt, which the doctor tore into
bandages, and with them stanched the
old negro's wounds. Then a dose of
brandy was administered from his
masters hunting flask, and soon Uncle
Ike opened his eyes.
He'll do now," said the doctor.
Lucky for both of you we saw your
canoe floating bottom upward and
knew it for old Ike's. We were COM
ing to his help as fast as we could
when we heard you yell, young man.
We had scrimmage for it though. I
never saw such ferocity. Pom my soul,
L thought the ugly brutes would have
eaten us, boat and all. Take my ad-
vice, youngster, and don't come fishing
in Lake Cncodri again until you can
manage to keep out of alligators'
jaws"
Rob took the advice and the lesson,
too, to heart. Henceforth, as boy or
man, he never let a lie pass his lips,
nor even let his silence mislead any
one.
His friends sometimes laughed at HE
excessive punctiliousness. Rob let
them laugh and would shake his head
seriously and say.
81 got enough of telling falseLoods
when I was boy. If you had come
as near to being eaten up alive by alli-
gators, for not sticking close to the
truth, as I did, 1 reckon you'd hold
fast to it FOR the rest of your lives, as
l mean to do. Youths Companion.

these men can do the rowing. The
hides can be used as soon as made
into air sacks, but to preserve them
any length Of time they should be
well salted and dried for three or
four days in ventilated shed and
the fresh side coated with mixture
Of tallow and tar.
These inflated hides are so buoyant
that large number of soldiers and
pieces OF artillery can be transported
across rivers and other bodies of
water, AMI at much less labor and
expense than is involved in carrying
q heavy pontoon bridge.

THE OLD LOVE SONG.

Play II slowly, sing 1t lowly,
: Old familiar tune!
Once 1t ran in dance and dimple,
Like n brook In June;
Now 1t sobs along the measures
With sound OF tears;
Dear old voices echo through 1t,
Vanished with the years.
Ripple, ripple goes the love song
Till, in slowing time,
Early sweetness grows completeness.
Floods its every rhyme;
Who together learn the music
Life and death unfold;
Know that love is just beginning
Until love is old.
Play 1t slowly, 1t is holy. !
AS an evening hymn
Morning gladness hushed to sadness
Fills 1t to the brim.
Memories home within the music
Stealing through the bars;
Thoughts within its quiet spaces
Rise and set like stars.
The Campus.

THY LOVE.


After the MONDAY heat,
.ool shadows, soft-descending from above,
sweet.
and loye-thy love
After the storm and strife,
Over the calm seas, swift and sure the dove
Bearing the olive through rainbowed
life,
sweet with thy love-
After the darkened light.
Faith that finds wings, stnrs and great s,ars
above.
And earth's last memory sweet with thy
Goodnight
Thy lips, thy love-
