To Richard Henry stoddara.

o princely poet, kingly heir
Of gifts divinely sent
Your own-nor envy anywhere,
Nor voice of discomfort.
Though of ourselves all poor are we
And frail and weak of wing,
Your height is ours-your ecstasy,
Your glory, where you sing.
Most favored of the gods and great
In gifts beyond our store,
We covet not your rich estate
But prize our own the more.
The gods give as but gods may do
We count our riches thus
They gave their richest gifts to you
And then gave you to us.

talking about inducing thrifty New

We had better go for the French Cana
dams if they thrive where the yankees
starve.N

Few Chinese Suicides.

Coroner Berz says that there is one
element Of Chicago's population by
whom the suicidal inclination is resist
ed. That element is the Chinese.
why is it that the Cinnamon of this
city do not commit suicide 1 cannot
explain Mr.. Berz said. I'm China we
read of their committing suicide in
great numbers. The fact remains,
though, that the only record of a Chi
nese suicide in Cook County in the last
ten years is of one who was confined
at Dunning, demented.
There is one thing, though, about the
Chicago Chinaman's abstinence from
suicide that is quite clear. That is the
reason why neither he nor any of his
race will die by drowning if they can
help it. The bodies of their dead ar,
taken to China for burial in sacred
ground. Failure to carry out this GUS
tom is an infraction of their religion.
The body of a drowned man, of course.
stands a good chance of not being
found. In that case Chinaman would
consider that the soul of the deceased
had a poor show for pleasant eter-
nity.-Chicago Tribune.

Longevity and the Brain.

he said. adapting itself to the needs Of the
times. had felt it upon IL dur
ing the last decade to insist mainly on the
evils of misuse of the brain, on the excess
i've strain not seldom imposed on il in
these days in the fierce struggle of the
race to be rich. and more especially on the
over-pressure imposed on It in the name
of education when in an immature state.
but they We're not less keenIy alive to the
Corre!ative evils of the disuse of the brain.
