BIRDS.


Sure, maybe ye've heard the storm thrush
Whistlin bould in March,
Before there's q primrose peepin out
On wee red cone on the larch,
Whistlin the sun to come out O. the cloud.
An the wind to come over the sea,
But for all he can whistle 50 clear an loud.
He's never the bird for me.
Sure. maybe ye've seen the song thrush
After an April rain
Slip from in undher the drippin leaves,
Wishful to sing again;
Och, low wild love when he's near the nest,
An loud from the top o the three,
But for all he can utter the heart in your bresst
He neyers the bird for me.
Sure, maybe ye've heard the cushadoo
Calling his mate in May
When one sweet thought is the whole Of his life
An he tells it the sweet way
But my heart Ia sore at the cushadoo
Filled wild his own soft glee,
Over an over his me an you'll"
He's never the bird for me.
Sure. maybe we've heard the red breast
Singin his lone on a thorn,
Mindin himself o. the dear days lost,
Brave wild his heart forlorn;
The time Is In dark November,
An no spring hopes has he;
''Rememberl" he SINGS 'rememberi"
Aye, thon's the wee bird for me.

inscription, on the cippus revealed that
the ashes contained within the urn
were those; Of Calpunius Piso Licini-

proclaimed Caesar by the Emperor
Galbra. Flour days afterward Galbra
was killed. and Piso also suffered
death In his thirty-frst year. His were

The precious urn was given to g

the proprietor of the place asked fol

Ytrtue,s Reward.

Tonight" said Mr. Perkins at the
table, 'as came up on the car the
fellow next to me had nickel out and
was handling it. The conductor came
along and, thinking it was a quarter,

That was pretty slick, wasn't it?'
Well, it would be- said, If you were
beating a big company like the street

But that conductor will have to pay
that out of his own pocket. He only

Leaned up against me and went

got off and cursed me for letting him

The keeper of the public cemetery
Of small Bohemian town near Prague
excayated the older parts of the grave
yard, and sold all the old bones he
could find for Industrial purposes, as
he found that certain manufacturers
paid more for human bones than for
those of animals.

exhalations Constipation is the beginning
of more diseases than, perhaps, any other
single disorder. The consequences of con-
stipation are legion. Headache, pain in
the side, shortness of breath, undue full
ness after eating, GOODNESS of the extremi-
