"'TlS LOVE THAT MAKES THE WORLD

A thousand years ago, or more,
A maiden and youth
Discovered for themselves anew
An old, yet living truth;
For through their love these lovers

Twas love that made the world &c

As youths and maidens had before
A thousand years ago and more.
A thousand years from now, or more,
A youth will know the bliss
OF gazing into eyes that fash
The love-llght back to his;

A-spinning gayly on its way,
A-spinning faster than before,
Another thousand years, or more.

source is at the crest of the Rockies,
5000 feet above the sea level, just with.

stream is two feet wide and two inches

the Gulf of Mexico and 2945 miles
from its confluence with the Missis-

the bad this three years, went head
long to the worse from that evening
forward, is not worth telling, and yet
was told in a thousand households.
There was good choice of blackguard
society in the neighborhood for any
man who cared to seek it, Bale found
the worse, and played the unorowned
king among it. His name grew to be
a byword. Anxious parents warned
their sons against him. Only the old
woman who had sometimes "moth-
cred" him in his lonely and miserable
childhood had ever a sympathetic
thought about him.

Floating s.nitariums.


The sanitarium at sea is a. European
idea. A large steamer especially fitted
up for the accommodation of invalids
in need of fresh air and favorable
climate is to be constructed by ship
owning association. The ship is to- be
in constant employment for eight or
nine months in the year, but for at
least three months out Of the twelve
she will 60 into dock in order to be
thoroughly cleansed and disinfected.
1t is proposed to make this steamer
which is to be the forerunner Of a
large feet similarly equipped, veri-
table floating palace in the matters
of both comfort and salubrity. Al
though skilled advice and nursing will
always be available, the accompani-
ments of sanitarium will be kept az
much as possible in the background.
The prominent idea to be carried out
In this new departure is the isolation
of dangerous class, with the least
possible amount of discomfort TO it's
members; and, furthermore, that by a
judicious timing of moves the surfer
ers will be afforded a chance of recov-
cry under the most favorable climatic
conditions, which it would be difficult
to secure otherwise. A list of anchor
ages has been made, all Of which have
their special seasons. As soon as any
undesirable change Of weather is i'm.
minent at the port of stopping, the
ship will sail for q more salubrious
climate.

Lawn Billiards.

Lawn billiards is the latest sugges-
ton for the popularization of garden
parties. The game is, as yet, SO little
known that it merits a word or two Of
description: A ground about the same
size as that used for croQuet is rolled
as smoothly as possible, and its bound
aries banked up few inches in imita-
ton Of cushions. Croquet balls can be
used. and holes in the turf take the
place Of the regulation pockets The
D and balk line are marked with white
chalk, and for cues broad-poiDted i'm
plement is employed with small
roller at the end on it's underside to
enable 1t to run with ease over the sur
face Of the grass. No stopping is re-
quired, and those who have tried the
game with appliances made to their
own order and lawns prepared by
themselves are convinced that If the
requisites were easily procurable and
grounds upon which 1t could be played
more numerous, lawn billiards would
attract to garden parties many who at
present attend them more for duty
than pleasure.-London Telegraph.

have entirely discarded the black coat,
preferring one of gayer color, with no

be said to border upon license. Yet
