"The poetry of earth is never dead, " sounds at first thought a dangerously sweeping enc there is no doubt that if he had been called upon to argue the point he would have successfully main tained his thesis Regarded subjective ly, the poetry of earth. Or. in other words, the quality which makes for poetry in external nature, is that power in nature which moves us by sugges- tion, which excites in us emotion, i'm agination or poignant association, which plays upon the tense strings of our sym pathies with the fingers of memory or desire. This power may reside not less in a bleak pasture lot than in para disal close of bloom and venture, not less in a roadside thistle patch than in a peak that scars into the sunset l. works through sheer beauty or sheer sublimity, but it may work with equal effect through austerity or reticencc or limitation or change. It may use the most common scenes, the most familiar facts and forms, as the vehicle of it's most penetrating and most Illuminating message It is apt to make the drop of dew on a grass blade as significant as the starred sphere of the sky.
 Merely descriptive poetry is not very far removed from the work of the re- porter and the photographer. Lacking the selective quality of creative art, it is in reality little more than a represen- tation of some of the raw materials of poetry. It leaves the reader unmoved, be- cause little emotion has gone to its making. Charles G. D. Roberts in Forum

Women the Best con,er.sr..

Of one thing there can be very little doubt, and tbat is the greater readiness in conversation of women than men. 4 woman can create conversation, which is very useful thing and is frequently found great social difficulty. If we give man a subject on which be knows anything at all, unless he be fool or morbidly reticent. he can talk about it so as to make himself fairly intelligible, and perhaps interesting, to those for whom the subject has any interest at all Men, when their feeling of entbu- siasm is excited, throw of the slOwness and hesitation which frequently cramp their power in society, just as they throw of the physical infirmity of slut tering under the influence cf some awakening theme or some strong sym pathy
 But ihe power of conversation in some women, and not always those of remarkable ability, IS the very art of making bricks without straw. They will talk to one by the hour about noth- ing--that Is, on no particular subject and with no particular object-and talk coherently and not fooliSkly and withal very pleasantly all the time l. would, we are free to confess, be rather diff cult for the listener to carry away with him any mental notes Of what Las been said. He may not be conscious Cf Eav ing gained any new ideas or of having had his old ones much enlarged. but he will rise and go bis way. as enc does after light and wholesome meal, sen sibly cheered and refreshed. but retain ing no troublesome memories of the in gradients which have composed it.

Life In a Channel Island.

The hand of Jersey is in the hands of A frugal and industrious people, worthy descendants of the rural populations of Normandy and Brittany. Not square inch of ground that does not produce potato or a cabbage. Prosperity reigns on all sides. Not one dilapidated house. In this beehive of an island everything speaks aloud of cleanliness. comfort and even of riches to those who can under stand that real wealth does not consist tn the quantity of things we possess, but in those that we can do without if need be. Jersey is a kitchen garden of about 70 square miles, picturesque, healthy, fertile, strewed with cottages that are wrapped in roses, and when l have told you that the cultivation of the potato alone brings in from l2, 0O0,- 900 to IA, GOO. 900 francs annually-that is to say, about s, GOO, 0OO-I shall have no trouble in convincing you that poverty is practically unknown in Jer- sey. Happy Jersey
 Add to this that, with the exception of wine and hQueurs, which pay light duty, all kinds of merchandise enter Jersey untaxed; that living is conse- quently very cheap; that the income tax collector is unknown; that crowd of tourists visit the isle during four months of the year; that activity reigns everywhere. not the feverish activity of the Americans, but the regular, uni form, intelligent activity of the French; that the soil is so fertil, that flowers and fruits seem to spring from it as by enchantment; that the landscape is most picturesque and varied; that the climate is delicious, and you will con- clude that Jersey is probably the Fl Dorado of the world and the Jersey folk. as I said before, the richest and happiest people on the surface of the globe.-Max O'Rell in North American Review

The nrasarwa Bushman.

Here is a solitary figure, that of a Masarwa bushman, engaged in digging up bulbs as food supply. These bulbs, small, round and smooth and of sweet, nutty flavor, are exactly the same as those for which the guinea fowls are searching So eagerly. They may be called the bushman's bread, and when game is scarce or hunting luck is out they serve as a mainstay against utter starvation.
 The bushman collects his bulbs in the she'll of tortoise and presently will re- turn to the protecting bush beneath which he and his family slept last night After that he will perhaps visit snare he set yesterday to entrapa duyker, one of the small antelopes of South Africa, or, failing the capture of the little buck, he may try to stalk a paauw with his bow and poisoned arrow or follow the troop of guinea fowls on the of chance of securing a head.-London Spectator

A Baked Bonnet.

During a recent rainstorm a society woman was caught in a sudden down. pour and was compelled to run hom ] very undignifed haste. Her dignl,.
 however, wasn't t damaged as much
 her bonnet. The latter had been a dream of beauty when she started out It was a perfect nightmare when she reached home again She thought that a little heating would bring it about all right. The kitchen fire had gone out, but she put the bonnet in the oven and prepared to build the fire. Just as she had got all the materials together the doorbel rang. It was caller. The wis itor was a great gossip, and she had a brand new bit of scandal to tell The two women became very much absorbed in their chat During the course of it the servant girl, who had been out for the afternoon, returned and passed back into the kitchen About an hour later the two gossips in the parlor began to notice a queer odor coming from the kitchen. The truth of the situation suddenly flashed upon the hostess, who immedi- ately rushed out into the kitchen. There she found to her horror that the girl had built the kitchen fire and her lovely bonnet lay in the oven roasted to crisp. Philadelphia Record.

The Glove Habit.

The wearing of gloves is a more au eient custom than 1t is generally thought to be. Homer speaks of gloves and tell. of one who wore them to protect his hands while working in his garden The use of some coverings for the hand: was known to the ancient PersiaGs, and Old Testament writers also mention them. They were in such cOrlmon ust among the Romans that they were worl even in the wild country by tine Britons St. Anne, the mother cf the Virgin Mary, was, it has been said, k2iJteI and manufactured gloves, tor whiCt reason the glOvelnakers of France lLls ago made her their patron saint At one time gloves had a certain meaning at tached to them and were chosoG to show the character or occupation Cf tte wear CT. There are records of gloves being Os- dered for grave and spiritual men. About this time, the sixteenth century gloves made of chicken skin were used by both men and women for whitening the hands and were worn at night New York Tribune.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By focal applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and tha. is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inHamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets infamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can betaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which if nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

Here he alights, and, making for the kitchen, goes through the process of tasting all the soups. sauces and made dishes. advising, when his palate sug- gests, little more salt here, a pinch of herbs there, a dash of sugar in this en- tree, suspicion of onion in that sal mis, etc.
 This done, he pockets his fec of 5 guineas and drives on to the next din ner giving patron who has bidden him to his feast in this strange fashion. His nightly list comprises many houses ali through the London season. n.-Pailadel- phia Ledger.

The origin of Puppet shows.

The puppet show is such an ancient institution and has been popular in so many countries that its origin is quite obscured by the mists of antiquity. An tiquaries with ethnological spectacles have peered into this pristine fog and discerned connection between the pup pet show and religious Observances They have established the fact that dolls and marionettes are closely related and even advanced the theory that the shad- ow puppets used in many lands denote a time when all the people saw of reli- gisps ceremonies was the shadows of the officiating priests cast upon the walls Oi the sacred tent.-Francis J. Ziegler in Harper's Magazine
