vogue. At any rate, pctticoats of change

scrviccablc for hard Wear, but arc satisrac-
tory for use under nice gowns.

GREAYNESS Ls NOT DE1D.

The remark is often heard that
 The glory of the past is gone and true nobleness only lives in the his tory of the past
 We take issue with the statement, for we believe that there are as great and good men living alIaroand us today as ever did live. although no poet sings their praise or rum peter goes before hearaiding their greatness. Life's crowning victor. ies belongs often to those, who have won no brilliant achievement on q hard fought battlefield amid the roar of cannon and sound of mus ketry; who has figured in no great drama; who has never been q leader and perhaps his name has never been put in type, but those who have loved great principles, suc- cored sublime hopes, relieved the distressed and comforted those in sorrow; who have crowned their lives with wreaths of laurels plucked from rustic and rural fields where earth's fairest, purest flowers bloom; upon whose brow honor sits en- shrined in | crown that bespeaks a life well lived. These kind of men are living now, and their silent in- fluence goes through their whole neighborhood as the odor of sweet flowers in 2 lovely wood, making everyone aware of their presence. - Ex.

Reason In the Lower Animals.

We have a fox terrier whose happi. ness was complete until Dodeerfield came. She Is very affeotionate, eonse. quently very jealous. If looks and growls would kill, Dodgerfeld would die many times q day. Both dogs eat from the same plate but not at the same time. One day last week we fed Dodgerfeld first. The fox terrier was very hungry and begged hard for first dinner. Bodger seemed to eat more slowly than usual, and Nettie watched dolefully.
 Finally hunger got the better of her honesty, and sine barEed sharply throe short barks. Dodger left his plate and sprang to the window, looking excitedly up and down the road. Nettie looked neither to the right nor the left, but made straight for the plate of food as Eoon as Dolger's back was turned. If this was not an exhibition of reason and human intelligence, then mankind in general possesses \ large degree oI ani. mel i1stissss. '--16g ranolar

POETRY
What IL Es and What It Appears to ns
 at Varying Ages.

Ask the first half dozen people you meet " What is poetry and the result will be something like this; Five out Jf the six will look hurt at your springing such a question upon them and say lamely, Oh, it's when the lines rhyme, you know!" and the sixth will be an- moved because, for the life of him, he can say what it is and is afraid you Il think he doesn't know. As to the rbym- ing definition, beware how you accept it, innocent and simple IS it looks. Ap- piled it will inevitably lead yon to the conclusion that Hamlet and Evan geline' aren poetry, but that Little Jack Homer is.
 The meaning of the word poetry" varies, too, with our own age. Five. year old thinks Sing Song O Six pence" and Simple Simon the great est masterpieces of poetic thought; IS won look at either, but pores over the tIngoldsby Legends, the Ancient Mariner, and, for 9 change, tho cheer ful Burial of Sir John Moore; D dreams away Sunday afternoons or Maud, ard privately determines 70 be a Tennyson, too some day, while 25 hasn't time to read poetry.
