Is but a name for death.
Tomorrow we shall say:
Our thoughts reflect to-day
His quiet room upstairs
The lonely look 1t wears;
For all the house seems desolate and dim
With want Of only him"
What household things shall stand
iiallowed, because your hand
Has touched them We shall miss
Your help in that or this
And treasure even trivial words you said
AS memories of the dead.
You will bear with you thus
Remembrances of us; 81
And, writing now and then
OF stranger lands and men,
Your tidings from afar shall reach us here
AS from another sphere:
Just as II you, at last,
That greater sea had passed
Whose winds and waters yearn
Outward, and never turn,
And looking through the waste of silence
lone,
You called from the unknown
Even death is nothing more
Than opening of door
Through which men pass away
AS stars into the day,
And we. who see not blinded by the light,
Cry: They are lost in nightr'
Thus ever, near or far,
Life seems but where we are;
Yet those we bid good-by
Find death is not to die,
AS you, departing from our daily strife,
Go hence from life to life.
Clasp hands and now farewell!
The words passing knell,
But ripening year by year
Life triumphs there as here,
Nor dark nor silent would the distance be
Could we but hear and see.

Gayly the flags are Haunting,
List how the horses neigh;
An envious crowd greet the riders proud.
As they mark for Toro the way.
Then trumpet blast, loud and haunting.
Echoes from hill to hill;
The broad gates swing and into the ring
Bursts Toro to wreak his WILL
The chulos play for their honors;
They futter scarfs in his eyes,
They'prick his rough hide and his anger

AS to toss them he blindly tries.
Then the plaza is hushed and GREATNESS.
The Toreadores give way.
The brave Matador looks the plaza DER,
And, singly, awaits the fray
The bull cores the ground in his fury,
And bellows with rage and hate
As he charges his foe, but n flashing blow

The SculptOr's Ideal Arm.

From the Boston Post.
Il find a great difficulty in getting g
model with good arms" said a well-known
sculptor recently. 'It is astonishing how
few women have arms that conform to the
standard. A perfect arm, measured from
the armpit to the wrist joint, should be
twice the length Of the head. The upper
part of the arm should be large, full and
well rounded. The forearm must not lie
too fiat, not nearly so fiat as a mans, for
example. dimple at the elbow adds
beauty to well-proportioned arm.
From a well-molded shoulder the whole
arm should taper in long, graceful curves,
to symmetrical and rounded wrist. II
is better to have an arm that harmonizes,
even If the parts do not follow the gem
orally accepted lines. For instance, q
full, round upper arm which is Joined to a
fiat or thin forearm has very bad effect.
1t is only degree worse, however, than
a graceful, well-moldeG forearm tackled or
to thin, scrawny upper arm.
CORRECTNESS of form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm. The
owner must possess the power Of express

American women are deficient in this

BICYCLE PRIVATE MARKS,
Secret Signs by Which Owners May
Identify Their Wheels.

secret signs by Which Owners May
Identify Their Wheels.
From the Chicago News.
A simple device for conceaing a private
mark on ones wheel is suggested by John
D. Carroll, chief detective of a wheelmen's 8
insurance company. In the event Of the
loss Of a wheel the Identification Of such a
mark, krown only to the rider, is indisput-
able proof Of ownership. according to the
New York Journal
Mr.. CarrolPs plan Is that every owner of
bicycle should have a private mark upon
his wheel. but SO concealed that the closest
scrutiny by one who does not know it will
fail to discover 1t. Instead Of a mark upon
the saddle or saddle post, where a thief
would naturally look for 1t, he suggests
that q portion of the enamel, about one
inch square, be scraped from the frame of
the machine. After all trace of the enamel
has been removed. apply coating of
grease. and with a pointed piece of steel
dipped in carbolic acid draw the initials or
private mark through the grease. The
acid follows the marking Of the steel ponit,
while the grease keeps 1t from spreading.
After allowing the acid to eat into the
tubing the grease can be rubbed off and
the mark or initial shows as plainly as II
enamel will completely hide all trace of the
mark. Should any question as to the own
ership Of the wheel arise the owner could
by simply scratching OF the enamel which
covered his mark at once prove his claim.
Mr.. Carroll says he has known cases where
Wheels have been stolen from owners by
their most intimate friends.
