Often that's the way.
Tell your wife how much you'd miss her
If she went away;
Take her i'll your arms and kiss her
Forty times day. .z.

Never leave her with frown;
Keep your ugly temper down,
And kiss her every day.

For your own good name.

Never mind-she's good as gold;
Let her have her little scold,
And kiss her just the same.
When there's something wrong with baby,
Kiss her every day.
Twill help to soothe her worry, maybe,
Kiss her every day.
Kiss her when her soul is sad,
Kiss her when her heart is glad,
lie your fortune good or bad,
Kiss her every day.

London's Increase of Population and De-

"Full schools mean empty prisons" is
tho motto Of the writer OF an article in
the current number of the lSctoo,master,

don Neios, that the array of facts and
figures, with which he furnishes his
readers, yields abundant support to this
eminently encouraging doctrine.

II is significant that they began to be in
bad way when the school board act
came into active operation, and have
gone on declining step by step as the
number of children on the roll of the
primary schools has increased.
In 1870, with population under
23OOO,0O0, We had in England and
Wales 10000 primary schools. Then
the number of prisons reached 113. In
1870 the population had increased to
nearly 26,000,000, and the primary
schools to $4,000, while the number Of
prisons had fallen to less than 60.
Roughly speaking, while the number of
children IN the primary schools had in
creased in the period referred to about
threefold, the number of thieves or sus-
pected persons on the roll of the police
records had diminished by nearly one.

the writer ask, who in 1870 would not
have looked on the man as dreamer

short space of quarter of century,

mile from Westminster palace iails

A THEORY.
May Kendall.

Why do the violins shudder so.
When across them is drawn the bow,
Sob for anguish and wild despair?
Human souls are imprisoned there.
Souls are shut in the violins,
They are the souls of Philistines;
But the Philistines, row on row,
Soulless sit and they do not know.
But they brandish their eyeglasses,
Stare at each others evening dress,
Scrutinize form or brilliant hue,
Say rs it rouge or is 1t true?n
Someone was flat a semitone,
And how stout the sopranos grown!
Isn't the bass dear 2 and oh,
Do look at Mrs. So-and-SoH
Still the musicians play serene,
AS though Philistines had not been,
But their souls in the violins
Mourn on bitterly for their sins.
Call them wildly and call in pain.
Call them with longing deep and vain,
And with infinite tenderness,
Since they can give them no redress.
Since not one of them is aware,
Here is he and his soul is there
In the music's diyinest chord,
Making melody to the Lord.
So how often in life and art
Soul and body must dwell apart
Great is the masters soul, no doubt
Twenty Philistine's go without.
Are We body or are we soul?
Little matter upon the whole.
Human soul in the violin,
Save me at last, Philistine!

steel-like muscle. Then one understands
how the tiger in his prime can throw a
bullock overits shoulder and canter away
with it. Then, too, one may well come
TO pooh-pooh the claim of the lion to be
styled the king of beasts. But however
interesting may be the study of the tiger
in this particular phase once or so, it
pals after time; lifting it is peculiarly
hard and hot work, and it is dirty work
also, and is sometimes made particularly
exasperating by the laches of the ele-

tiger. For that intellectual beast is re.

and to kneel long enough to allow that
freight to be hosted on to the pad and
fastened on; and, as often as not, 1t will

the tiger has been raised to the edge Of
the pad, and tumble the tiger and some
OF its lifters on to the ground. and SO

II can't seem to get hold of it,"
"The pier business" said the booker,

you give me for this privilege if get
t?"
"Ill give you one thousand dollars
month for year"
The broker said that he would see
what he could do. The pier was owned
by Philadelphia man, and the next
afternoon the man from Wall street
walked into the office of the pier owner
in Philadelphia.
II want you to buy some bonds" he
said.

the answer. "I'm selling

"Well, maybe l will take your piel
anyway. How much do you want for

"Three thousand dollars year"
The broker thought he might as well
take the privilege, even if they couldn't
strike bargain on bonds. The next
morning he went to the New York
steamship man.
II can get that pier for you for a
year." he said.
"At what terms?"
"Your own figures-twelve thousand

The privilege was relet right then
and there, the contract signed, and the
broker was just nine thousand dollars
better off. A short time after this the
steamship man met the broker again.

that pier business?"
