Why is it2

Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on
/ sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break,
1 often wonder why it's so
Some will faint where some will fight
Some love the tent and some the field
/ often wonder who are right
The ones who strive or those who yield
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In tireless march thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed;
Some seek when others shun the fray
Some swords rust where others clash;
Some fall back where some move on;
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigls OF the true and brave.
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their names above a grave.

An interesting little story comes
from North Carolina. Along the
banks Of the Cape Fear river are low
lands, behind which Les higher level.
The iOwlands are subject to more or
less frequent overflow by fresheis,
which are destructive IL crops planted
thereon. A number Of years ago a
farmer resident in the vicinity made
very comfortable sum Of money by in
surfing his nsighbors' crops against
these freShets. His nnvarying success
as an insurer was for many Years
profound mystery To the people OF the
region. In earlier days his reading of
the future would have stamped him as
u dealer in the black art. Yet his in
formation came from no occult source.
Observations had shown him that
certain species OF wasp, which built its
home in the ground. built some years
on the lowlandS. and o,her years upon
the higher levels Experience taught
him that when the wasps built on the
lowlands there were no freshets, and
when they built on the higher ground
the lower would, some time during the
season, b. submerged. The man had
simply noted an instance Of that little
understood prescience manifested by
certain insects and animals. a better
knowledge Of which might even be of
service To our national weather bureau.

TACOMA, March 2S.-The Northern
Pacific steamer Braemar has arrived,
bringing Oriental advices to March 8.
Yokohama papers state that the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha, or Japan Mail Steam
ship company in opening lines to Lon
don and Seattle, has been prepared to
sustain more or less loss, but the losses
have been heavier than was expected
Two of the chief stockholders, on hear
ing that the company has been losing
100, 900 yen on each voyage, recently in
terviewed Mr.. Kondo, president of the
company. to learn the actual state of af-
fairs They then demanded that an cx-
traordinary meeting of the shareholders
be called to decide whether it is advis-
able to continue the lines or abolish
them altogether, because although they
might be considered a sort of national
enterprise they do not think 1t right fo.'
the company to continue running steam
ers abroad at a heavy loss. President
Kondo replied that an application had
been sent to the government asking
that the deficit be mtde up, and al
though 1t has not been taken up by The
cabinet, it will be laid before the diet
during the present session. The stock
holders accordingly agreed to wait a
little before converting an extraordinary
meeting. Some of the high government
officials favor granting an annual SUD-
sidy of 3400, 600 yen to the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha, and bill to that effect will soon
be introduced.

LONDON, March 2S-The weather

tire absence of speculative interest. In

Some business for the United Kingdom

dening, relapsed. The fact that twelve

These are not expected to rule at high
figures in the future, and probably the
bank rate will fall below the minimum
