Tell me. little pale-faced,
With the heart of gold
Hast thou e'er 10 mortal
Thy sweet story told?
Why thy heart is golden,
And thy face Is bright,
Dost thou tell TO fairies
In the pale moonlight?
or when on thy bosom
Rests butterfly,
Doth he hear thy story
When there's no one nigh?
Why so bright thy heart is,
And thy face so pale.
Hath the faithful violet
Ever heard the tale!
All thy pretty secret
When alone at night.
Hast thou told the poppy
With the color brightI
No mortal e'er hath heard the tale;
Nor have the fairies bright;
| would not tell the butterfly,
He holds all trusts so light;
Nor have | told the violet,
Whose cOnstancy | own:
The poppy talks so In his sleep
| trust in God alone.

Two Kansans who had been out

turned during the past summer. They

at night in an ordinary coach. Some
time during the early morning hours,
before daylight, there was an accident,
and the car went over bank and
brought up in a creek about fifty feet
below the track, smashing things
generally, but not doing much to the
Kansans except waking and shaking
them up. When the ear stopped at
the end of its flight there was dead
silence, broken by the voice of the
Kansan on the forward seat.

school Hygiene.

The recommendation of the health
authorities that the use of slates and
slate pencils be discontinued in the
Boston public schools is directed
against Il venerable feature of the
school room. but it is in the line of
cleanliness and the preservation of the
health of the pupils. 1t is by no means
a new departure, however, as the use
of these articles was long since ban
ished from the kindergartens. where
paper blocks are used in their stead.
Owing to the cheapness of paper it is
quite likely that the adoption of this

mittee will be found to be economical

He Wants Double Pay.

\ London preacher whose sermons
are good enough to print is protest
ing vigorously that he does not want
them reported in newspapers and pc
riodicals. because this deprives him
and his publisher of the profits of an
annual volume. This position seems
so opposed to the original gospel idea
that It shocks even nineteenth-century
church-goers. accustomed to paying Il
certain sum per Sunday for theirspirit-
ual food. There is a comical incon-
gruity in spending many thousand
dollars every year to send mission
aries to places where they are reluct-
antlv received. and at the same time
Withholding popular preachers SER
mons from people who are eager TO
read them. yet there is at the same
time much truth in the preachers COM
plant that well-reported sermonizer
involuntarily presents the daily press
with much matter OF large commercial
value. | really cannot see any way to
adjust this difficulty. The preachers
property right is unmistakable, but it
is manifestly absurd with all Christ
endom engaged in evangelizing the
world to withhold sermons from people
who really want them. To arrange
that newspapers should pay for the
=, ,.rnons they ranOl.t would result in n
discrimination against them, leading
finally to their disappearance from
the daily press. when they are even
now not too plentiful. Justice all
around might be secured by establish
ing general missionary funds. out of
which to reward successful preachers
whose sermons are good enough to be
printed by newspapers.

after he had conversed with leading
Republicans here, members OF Con-

tinued, "a strong disposition to go to

the same proposition that any other
city would. l mean by that, the usual
provision for taking care of the Con-
vention. The inclination among the
Eastern Republicans is very strong

not care to go to Chicago again. They
desire a location that will be central,
and they are not willing to take Gin

to take care of the Convention. That
can be done easily enough. But. as
said, don't know what the sentiment

On the Verge of Two Worlds.

DR.. Holmes once told dinner party
how he undertook to solve the enigma
OF creation. Having observed that
when unconsciOusness is consciously
approached. as during the inhalation
of an anesthetic-when the mind is on
the confines Of two wOrlds-there arise
sublime and voluminous. butfugacious
thoughts. and having satisfied himself
that in these thoughts. if they could
only be caught and transcribed, there
lay enshrineG the secret OF the universe
he determined that by supreme effort
of the will he would catch and tran
scribe them. So. placing himself in
his arm chair. with pen. ink and
paper at hand, he inhaled the vapor
OF chloroform. As drowsiness stole
over him. and just as unconsciousness
was impending. those sublime and
marvellous thoughts arose, and by Il
vigorous effort he seized his pen and
wrote. he knew not what. for before he
had finished he fell back unconscious.
When he awoke, with trembling anxiety
he turned to the sheet of paper. on
which he could read in scrawling char
acters. but quite legible. the secret of
the universe, written in these words:
