The Prayer of the Human.

Against the Science of the pantheIst, Against the Reason pagans defy, Against the pride of human Intellect, Lord God, defend mans dearest heirloom, Rend not from flesh the spirit that exalts-. Nor Life divest of Immortality, Nor Resurrection shroud from human Nor Heaven veil from homesickness of
 Earth!
 For losing Thee, Lord God, we lose all
 else All else the world hath gained since birth
 of Time; And retrovert to Life's primeval germ, Ill ancient Eden quickened unto Man. For Human Lies distinction from the Is soul, not sense; and soul is Thy Breath's
 flame Returning whence 1t issued at Thy Word, Since Thou, It's Source, art likewise Its sole
 End! Of God alone, are born Mems deathless Ideals soaring o'er the span of sense; Desires above the instincts of the brute, Achievements past the valor of the flesh, If Pulse Divine thrilled not Humanity, Life human were but animal at best; At least, existence senseless as the rocks Forever beaten by the aimless sea. Of faith divine hath come all human flights Whose pinions raise the eyes of lower
 men Immortal thoughts, heroic deeds, and That ring triumphant over voceless Death. Life hath no visions save what faith re- veals, Nor truths unborn of superhuman germs, Nor hopes content to sleep in mortal crave, Nor loves that claim not immortality. Omnlpotent! Contrain us to Thy yoke, For of It's pain is born all human bliss Without eternal meaning aim and end What were the treadmill of Earth's weary
 years, A The round of work and weeping, I've call
 Life But just wine press trodden by slave
 feet To base Annlhilatlon's barren brink. That holds despair alike to Life and
 Death?-- The stress of childhood straining to mans
 strength, The heart of youth consumed with sateless
 thirst, The bangs of manhood smitten in its prime, The moan of Love above its new-made
 grave, The throes of Life on Labor's torture
 wheel, Where, save in God, Is recompense for
 these? As child destroys or stays what it loves
 best, With needless force of Ignorant, rude
 hands, So men renounce the vision of the High, Forgetting all beneath is dust to dust Great God, be pitiful to cap and bells Of human folly, though 1t mock Thy
 throne! Apocalypse shall come on wings of Death And, meantime, Life is but Thy groplng
 child.

THE BLESSINGS OF CIVILIZATION

THE BLESSINGS OF CIVILIZATION.
 The graceful. firm gait of the Hawai- ian people, but especially that of the women, has been attributed to the hab- 1t of going barefoot. Shoes have never been used Generally cheap straw san dals of the Chinese were used in mud dy weather. The example of another neat race, the Japanese, has had it's sway, and clogs are alec used, keeping the feet out of the dirt Alas! the graceful walk must go, for Yankee shoes with pointed toes and narrow soles and heels, are seen on the feet and in the stores.
 When the women wiggleA along the walk as do the tourists, they will no longer be able to lift their white gowns from the sidewalks to avoid the water which stands in puddles after the side walks and streets are watered by hose and carts.-The Woman's Journal.

SOME PLAIN TALK BY | JUDGE.

Judge Mitchell of the Supreme court that criminals have any more rights than society has. In the case of Ed viction of murder it was argued that evidence of the confession of Cressinger confession had been obtained by a trick. It seems that a knife had been produced and the prisoner had been led to believe that it was his. Under this

FASHION NOT IFS.
Be Guarded tn Purchastnn

In the arrangement of skirts at the back there Is a deal of chance for the exercise of personal taste, for so long as there are pleats the fashionable de- cree Is met, and in the disposal of the pleats there are many permissible meth ods. This picture shows one that has much favor just now Such long pleats are best accomplished in goods of con- siderable body, and as there effect is inevitably to make a woman seem long limbed, they are nqt a wise recourse for tall and slender figures. For women of medium height and girth, they are recommended by the best dressmakers
 By such, too, they are put into expen-

People are mistaken in thinking that diamonds are high because of the war in South Africa, said a New York con- nosseur recently. 'The high price Is owing to the scarcity of stones and the increasing demand. The worlds sup ply of sthe sparkling gems is running short and the Boer war is but minor factor in the diminishing output. There has Been no time in the history of the tewelry trade in this country when the demand for costly stones, particularly diamonds was as great as now, Though the price has gone up something like per cent. since the Transvaal trouble started up, yet the loss of the whole Kimberley supply would not greatly af- feet values. Those who put off buying diamonds now with the idea that they will be much cheaper after the war is over will find later on that the conclu- sion Of the conflict will not be followed by any large decline in diamonds.

R. Kayser, of Nuremberg, in speaking of food preservations, points out that in former times the tendency towards de- composition in foodstuffs was counter acted by drying, smoking, picking and other processes which made use of com mon salt, saltpetre and creosote. At present for this purpose low tempera- lures, sterilization and other chemicals are employed. Boric acid, borax sail cylic acid, benzoic acid and other eub- stances are employed in this way, and there are no authentic eases on record of injury from their use, While there are numerous instances of injury from foods which while apparently sound were in reality decomposed and contain ed ptomaines

The Russian administration in Fin land has just introduced further re- strictive and repressive measures for dealing with the Finnish press. A fine of 800 marks is to be imposed for any attempt to elude prohibition to pub- fish. The right is given the governor general to demand a change of the re- sponsible publishers on pain of suppress sion of the journal. A consultative committee on press affairs, which is to include censor's bureau, composed of six members, has also been appointed by the governor general Moreover, the Finnish journals may not publish inn perial decisions until they have ap- peared in the government organs, nor the doings of scientific societies, con- ferences, public speeches, nor commer- cial affairs without having first ob- tained the consent of the governor gen. eral
