which is introduced by the pen into the

ticsemia, but microscopicaI examina-
fion proves that the i'll effects are due
to the liability of ink to contain patho-
genie bacteria. DR.. Marpmann of Leip-
sic has recently published the results Of
the microscopical examination of 81
samples of ink used in schools Most of
them were made with gall uuts and
contained sapropbytes, bacteria and mi
crococci. Nigrosin ink taken from a
freshly opened bottle was found TO con-
tain both saprophytes and bacteria. Red
and blue ink also yielded numerous
bacteria. In two instances DIR. Marp-
mann succeeded in cultvatiug from
nigrosin ink bacillus which proved
fatal to mice within four days. This
ink had stood in an open bottle for
three months, and the, inference to be
drawn from the inquiry is that ink
used in schools should always be kept

NY LADV'S SECRET.

Ny lady always sIniled-not much to do,
But when the hours and days increase N
care,
And dreariness and WEAKNESS pursue,
When youth and love grow dim in backward
view,
And life is but to bear and still forbear,
All, then, her gentle sweetness undefiled
By years of bitterness, shone forth She smiled.
My lady always smiled. in life and death.
Some envied her a life that seemed all smiles,
And some cried out or caught sobbing breath,
Self pitying. and God and man reviled,
But some, to SORROW 8 burden reconciled,
We're glad the gladness of her face to see
Through toll and care and heartless apathy.
But when they laid my lady with the flowers
To sleep, where wake = thousand smiling
springs,
A solitary father, praying hours
Beneath grand arch and grave cathedral
towers,
Thanked, for my lady's rest, the King OF
kings.
He knew her soul had yearned weary while
To sleep and rest the burden of n smile!
