The birds of paradise
In white and silver so,
Aud when they shed the white fca thcr
There falleth down the snow :
The birds of paradise
Wear wings Of living green,
And when they drop the wing feather
The days Of spring begin.
The birds of paradise
With rosy plumeS are ShOd.
And when floats down the rose-feAt Their
The roses are abroad.
The birds Of paradise,
Their creSts are gold and light,
And when sails down the gold fea Their,
l.o, autumn burning bright!
Who saw the spring to wake?
The first rose bud or bloom?
Between the sunset and the dawn
Fell down Il sheeny plume.
Who saw the leaf turn gold?
The first swallow to 20?
hut I'LL have seen the white feather
Wherewith the world hath snow.

Hit, the Mark.

The story is told of the late Prof
B!ackie that when he once put a card on
the door Of his lecture room reading:
"Prof. Blackie will meet his classes at l

Was a Good Man.

In the early days of Austin, New,
mining accident occurred, by which man
was killed. The body was brought to the
surface and laid out. He and his part
ner were new arrivals from Washoe, and
were of the prize-tighting fraternity. As
Il crowd gathered solemniy around to
view the body and regret the accident,
the partner exclaimed: "AIy God, ne was;
a good man. It's too bad. He was IL
good man. and the crowd bowed lower
i'll reverential awe and admiration for
the truly good, until the conclusion of the
sentence: He licked a son of gun by
the name Of Patsy Foy in tree rounds in
Virginny.''

Only One Fault.

Prince Bismarck recently said to a Wis
itor that he had only one serious COM
plaint to make against old age, that
was that he had been obliged of late
to abstain almost entirely from tobacco.
On the other hand, Mr.. Gladstone has
become very sensitive to the odor of
tobacco in his old age. He dislikes it
intensely, and the surest way to obtain
his antagonism is to go into his presence

Skating Under Difficulties

The energy and determination of little

them in their sports. 1t must have been
4 strange sight when three boys with
only three legs in all put on three skates

themselves on pond the other day. The

A Few Troubles.

A man is never so much alone as when
he is trying to raise loan.
Nor SO unpopular rs when he's trying
the best he knows how to be decent.
Nor so busy as when he is tired; nor so
cross inside as when he really has to be
polite outside; nor so short as when the
Easter bills come n
And he catches cold in spring and
swelters in summer and freezes in Win
ter, and there isn't any autumn. ?
And if he's Il bachelor, he wants to be
married, only the right girl won't have
him; while, if he's married.
And if there's nothing else the matter.

How JaDS Launch Their Ships.

The Japanese apply one of their many
''prctty ways to the launching of ships.
They use no wine. They hang over the
ships Prov a little pasteboard cage full
of birds and the moment the ship is
afoat, a man pulls string, when the
cage opens, and the birds fly away, max
ing the air alive with music and the whrr
of wings. The idea is that the birds
thus welcome the ship as she begins her
career as thing of life.-Tid-Bits.
