OVER THE HILLS.
Over the hills like music steals
The hush OF the twilight gray,
While softly from the church tower high,
Aglow with the suns last ray,
Peals forth the bells in liquid song,
Echo of the Heavenly throng,
"All things on earth must die!
Heaven all sorrow heals!"
over the hills sweet memories come
or our life's bright joyous morn,
Which promise gave OF full day,
Whose roses OF thorns we're shorn.
o, softly ring. sweet memory bells
For DER the hills there dwells,
my love who passed away,
And now is safe at home"
over the hills there is no night,
Gods face a the sun doth shine.
He wipeth away all our tears,
In his compassion divine.
over the hills His angels sing,
Praise our bells can only ring.
30, cast out all your fears,
III make all wrongs right"
over the hills, some day my soul
Shall joyfully wing its way.
When my works done; IL there shall live
Among His blest for aye.
Ger the hills I'll hear the song
Hopes sweet bell has pealed so long.
Eternal life l give,
While endless ages roll

A QUEER OLD eNeLIsHMAN.
Thomas Laugber and His Curious Expert
ences, Physical and Otherwise.


Thomas Laugher and His Curious Expert
ences, Physical and Otherwise.
Thomas Laugher, who is said to have
died at the age of ia, has an amusing
record that connects him with Holborn.
He was well educated man, for he had
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for 10
years. In early life he had been wine
merchant III Tower street and failed,
owing 10 the failure of a very large
house i'll the same trade, Neele, Fordyce
e. Co. It so affected Laugher that he be-
came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled off from the whole Of his body.
Though n wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
80 years Of his life. The old mans
memory was prodigious. He well re-
membered, in 1905, seeing Queen Anne
going to the house of peers, seated ON a
pillion behind the Lord Chancellor. and
he talked about the death of William
Ill He had been a well made man,
rather above the middle height. At 80
he had a severe fit of illness, and then
fresh head of hair came, and new nails
on the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place i'll the fingers of each
hand at this instant remained always
after Nothing is said about new teeth
coming in his case, and he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him o. 60
abruptly.
He had a son, who died at the age Of
so, and whom he always called poor
Tommy" This boy of fourscore looked
ve.y much older than his father, and the
fact led to some curious mistakes ON the
part of strangers who saw them togeth-
G.. Once, when they were walking in
iiolborn, the son could scarcely keep
zee with the father-in fact, with so
great difficulty and distress did he do so
that he attracted the attention Of a gen
t!eman, who went up to old Laugher to
eXpostulate with him ON his want of
fIial duty in not aiding more his vener-
able father. The old man told him of
his mistake, but the stranger refused to
give the least credit to his assertion un-
til somebody passing at the time, who
knew the Laughers well, certified to the
perfect truth of the story.

with smiles, and grew quite radiant for
amoment, but the next second il relapsed
into its bustling but somewhat melan-
chuly quotidian business-cash hunting
One feels amused at this fussy moralist,
who showed such prevailing anxiety
and officiousness to direct others in the
path of virtue, shifting, as the mote, un-
conscious of the beam. Notes and Que

man left his car to pick up horseshoe.
For luck? Not at all, but because it lay
directly ON the rail ahead, and in the in
tercst of passengers and possibly rolling
stock he gathered it not over tenderly
and gave it a fling SO that it fell almost
at the feet of three ladies, one of whom
was about to pick it up, when a prncti-
cal member of the trio said: Don't soil

The WomAn,a Bible.

We have read some of the passages OF
the commentary prepared for the WON.
ans Bible" by that very accomplished
American woman and Biblical student,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They are
great deal more satisfactory than
many Of the comments upon the same
texts that we have read in other and
more pretentious commentaries. Mrs.
Stanton's interpretative remarks are of.
ten shrewd and sensible. They could
perhaps sometimes be rendered more ac-
ceptable to the critical mind by the as
sistance of 4 rabbi well versed in the
Hebrew New York sun.

An amateur gardener has had great
deal of trouble, year after year, with
certain bed in her flower garden. 1t was
so infested by ants that nothing could
grow there, but was invariably devoured
by the insects She tried every vermin
destroyer known, with boiling water and
other preventives, all without success
At length she found that portion of the
outer boarding of the shed which stood
near this bed was decayed and needed
renewal When thee boards were taken
away, they were found to be alive with
ants, which, being destroyed, disappear
ed from her flowers, and she has had no
more annoyance from them. Often ants
will get into the house closets and into
the food in the same way from some de-
cayed wood near at hand, in which they
nest If their source is looked up when
they come they usually may be unearth-

ITALIAN CAMPAIGN ENDED.
So Thinks Baldissera of Operations
In Abyssinia.

ROME, May 19.-The government is ad-
vised by General Baldissera that the
Italians taken prisoners by the Abyssin-
ians in the province Of Tigre have been
surrendered by their captors, and General
Baldissera now considers the campaign
ended. Adigrat has been disarmed and
abandoned. and the troops which occupied
that place will return to-day to a position
behind the frontier OF Erythrea.
The party Of the Extreme Left in the
Chamber of Deputies, holding that Gene
raj Baratieri. the late COMMANDMENT
chief Of the Italian forces in Abyssnia, is
answerable only for purely military acts
in connection with the campaign in Afri-
ca. have decided TO propose to the
Chamber that the members of the late
Crispi Ministry be arraigned before the
high court to answer for the general
policy of the campaign. The Left and
Extreme Left are the dominant groups
in the Chamber. A committee Of nine
Leftist deputies has been appointed TO
formulate charges and specifications
against the late Cabinet.
