All sorts of complaints have been heard
of the spy system growing out of the
Raines bill and other liquor laws, and some
of these have attracted a little sympathy
from the public, but If the recent action of
a state inspector of the Agricultural Depart
ment of New York is upheld we may expect
a general outcry against official interference
with domestic affairs. The astonishing fact
was made public in a New York paper re-
Gently that a state inspector of the Agri-
cultural Department had secured the arrest
of woman who kept boarding house on

a piece of oleomargarine which she was
using for butter. If public officers have the
right to invade private premises, ranSack

terated food whether it be butter, coffee,
sugar, syrup, -four, or anything else, we fear
we shall find our domestic comfort greatly

has been manufactured, but we doubt If
there be more poor oleomargarine in the

ton goes. our seaS, coffees and spices are
so commonly a mixture of cheap trash that
none but the wealthy expect TO use the pure

garine law was drafted by politicians who
thought there was a chance to tickle the
farmers and get a few votes The laws

the protection of the people, but they We're
never enforced. So the oleomargarine law
was devised to pull the wool over the farm

sorrowing Mother.

She feels in dreams the anguish of the Cross
And wakes each morn to resurrected loss
For her no more the little birds do sing
But their shrill pipings vainly echoing
Their plant in her sad heart have one wild
cry
Calvary and Cruelty! Cruelty
She hears the surge of hurried, storming
feet,
A sea of hate that round her son doth beat
In frenzied wave-her son, her fair first
born,
Laden with cross and diademed with thorn.
(Thy mother, dear Lord Jesus.
Mary. Mother of Sorrows.)
Sometimes in dreams she feels his fingers
creep
In baby touch across her breast. and sleep
The merciful obliterates that day
When her beloved set forth on Calvary way.
She hears his baby lips lisp out her name
And call her Mother. as is called the same
Sweet name this age and will in years TO be,
When aeons have vanished over Calvary.
She feels his little clinging form close
pressed
Within her arms and sings him there to
rest
(Thy mother. dear Lord Jesus.
Mary, Mother of Sorrows)
In such kind dreams her dear man-child
is all
Her heart doth need. But when tree
shadows fall
Athwart those dreams and lift gaunt arms
as though
To beckon One to haste and hang in woe
Upon their cruel length--Ah. then doth
break
Her sorrow forth in grieved alright.
Awake,
The plaintive birds and winds moan Cru
cify!"
And other mothers understanding. cry
With her of sorrow and with her gaze where
Some vanished presence sanctihes the air.

A GIrI,n Essnx ON anxa.

At recent Bombay school board ex-
animation one of the tasks was an es-
say on boys, and this was one of the
compositions just as it was handed in
by girl of 12: "The boy is not an ami
NAL, yet they can be heard to con-
siderable distance. When boy hol-
lers he opens his big mouth like frogs,
but girls hold their tongue till they are
spoken to, and then they answer re-

boy thinks himself clever because he
can wade where it is deep, but God
made the dry land for every living
thing, and rested on the seventh day.
When the boy grows up he is called a
husband, and then he stops wading
and stays out at night, but the grew
up girl is widow and keeps house."
