LIFE IN SLEEP.

Beyond the conscious life I know
The conscious life OF smiles and tears.
Untiring In its ebb and flow,
In what it feels and and hears
live the vagrant life of sleep;
Sweet, wild, fantastic. or perchance
Vague as the wandering mists that keep
The sunlight in their gray expanse.
And yet this second life TO me
Is real in some mysterious way.
II watts me over land and sea,
Through starry night and golden day;
1t leads me back into the past,
Or gives the aching present hope:
And there are hours when, strange and vast,
1t speaks and bid the future ope.
II laughs at time, II laughs at space:
It binds and frees me at its will;
II has the summers spOrttve grace,
It has the winters cruel chill
Age withers at it's touch, and youth
Revives with hardy bloom, and breath;
Joy bubbles from the heart OF ruth
As if the dead had not known death.
-(George Edgar Montgomery.

CRITICISM OF MANNERS OF THE DAY.

An English woman. who has recently come 20 this
country a lecturing tour. says II consider that
Of the chief characteristics Of the nineteenth
century is it's lack of manners This is due, no
doubt. to the reaction from the somewhat stilted
afectation of the ceremonious manners Of the
eighteenth century Like most reactions there Is
some good in It. though IL is somewhat Overdone
II Is too prevalent 10 adopt nonchalant, Indifferent
manner which is meant TO frank and easy
but which would certainly have been condemned
fifty years ago simple, blundering ruGeness
This fear Of seeming artificial and striving 10 be
natural has come to such pitch that the result
Is unnatural as the manners Of the previous
century. and without the elegance and grace"

COINS WITH PICTURED INTERIORS.

Among the costly and unique gifts which young
women will make TO their hances this year are
silver coins resembling half dollars. These are
fitted in their milled edges with tiny springs
which, upon pressure, causes the pocket pieces 20
open. revealing the faces Of the donors photo
graphed on the silver. The idea comes from Eng
land, where pocket pieces OF half crowns FIVE
shilling pieces with pictured interiors have long
been in vogue. Occasionally. in a fit of absent
mindedness, the owner pays IL out, and, of course
raises hue and cry for it's return. The coins are
ingenious in construction that they pass
through the hands OF any one but an expert with
out their secret being discovered. They are con-
sidered an improvement upon the locket, because
OF the latter's habit Of flying open and revealing
its contents TO others than its owner.
