SHAPES FOREVER FAIR.

With .ioyeliest things that ever knew the sun.
Delye not where
The mold Is on old marbles rare;
Look not there.
For purcst beauty that has passed away,
Look not In ruined fanes Of old decay;
Seek not there
The sovereign shapes forever fair;
Look not there.
Look in the pale sad face no longer young.
Look through the suffering that has found no
tongue;
That despair,
Mute, gentle, let II be thy carei
There, seek there. II
Look In and In, with tender tireless art,
Among the beauties Of a ruined heart;
Shapes made fair !
With glory only love can wear,
Seek them therel

Dr.. Edward Thorndike of thesweststn
Reserve university has made some inter
esting experiments on mental fatigue.
We are used to think of the mind as a
machine, and our inability to work MS q
sign Of its loss of energy. Sleep is sup
posed to restore the energy, as an accu-
mulator Is recharged with electricity.
The incorrectness of this view might be
questioned by the fact that mental action
is too complex for such simplicity, and
that some minds do not tire with large
amounts of work. DR.. Thorndike's ex.
periments show that certain persons are
as fit for hard mental work after day
of 1t as in the morning, and seem to have
no analogy with charged Accumulation.
