She waved her hand at him mis-
chievously and beckoned Maynard to
pole on.
"You are sure you wish it," he
asked, anxiously. II don't think he's
the sort OF man to forgive it."
"That is what 1 hope" she said.
And at that he had no more scruples.

Later in the day Captain Suttlebury
was observed by the waterman and
rescued, but that was not until after
lunch, and everyone was curious to
know what had become of him. Not
sving the spirit to confess his dis
comfiture, he decided to leave Wat

he did, much to Mrs. Rye's grief.

The belief entertained by many per.
sons that arsenic is used in dangerous
quantities in the coloring Of dress
goods and wall paper, is not well
founded, according to the Massachu.
setts Board Of Health. The Bay State
has a stringent law on the subject
providing that there shall not be In
dress goods or other articles of dress
more than one One-hundredth Of q
grain to the square yard, or in other
materials or articles more than one,
tenth Of a grain to the square yard.
The board, after an Investigation,
finds little if any ground for invoking
the power Of this law, only one piece
OF cloth being found to contain more
than the statutory allowance Of ar.
senic. As compared with conditions
existing ten years ago, there is very
little complaint regarding the use OF
arsenic in dyeing or in coloring wall
paper.

Rubber appears to be Of service even
to insects. When the para trees are
tapped and the gum is run into recep-
tacles and stiffened, a species of large
black ant is accustomed to cut out
pieces of the rubber and carry them
away. Bees also find uses for India
rubber, and some species in South
America actually cut the bark Of trees
that produce resinous substances in
order to cause flow Of sap. The gum
is employed by the bees as a ready
made wax for their nests.

The Washington Star says that the
fact that our language is spreading
over the world at an amazing rate
emphasizes regret for its numberless
defects and increases the desire for
needed reforms. One of the worst de-
fects is that we have many words
which, while differing in orthography
and meaning, are alike in sound. For
example, 'rowed," rode" road"

The New York Herald has lately
compiled a list Of 1928 mlllionaires in
the United States-that is, one person
out of every 10000. And the estimate
is that eighty-seven per cent. of them
made their own fortunes; that only
thirteen per cent. Of them received
large fortunes by Inheritance; that the
same number became rich from the
increased values of real estate; that
nearly twenty per cent. made fortunes
as manufacturers, sixteen per cent. as
merchants, twelve per cent. by trans.
portation and ten per cent by banking.

Since the Anglo-Boer war began,
two years ago, about 64OO British
officers and men have been killed in

In the two days fighting at Gettys-

One must sing Of the sunshine;
One must sing of the rain;
One must sing us the songs Of JOY,
And one sing woes refrain;
Yet in the end all the songs will blend
In one harmonious strain.
One must sing Of the future,
With hopes and fearings rife;
One must sing of the misty past
It's dreaming and its strife
Yet they will meet in a chord full sweet
The marvellous sons of life.

THE SONG OF LIFE.

One must sing of the mountains;
One must sing of the sea;
One must sing us the song of love,
And one in hates shrill key;
Yet all will rise to the blending skies
In one grand harmony.
Love and hate and compassion,
Sorrow and right and wrong,
Past and future and war and peace
Rise in an anthem strong,
And all will grow, as they ebb and flow,
To life's unceasing song.

The age-herald., 1901-05-19

Once upon a time there lived great prince who was called the Rajah of Jaun- poresingh. His kingdom was in the middle of India, and his subjects Were very poor and lived almost entirely on rice, few hand fuls each day being their whole bill of fare. The Rajah lived in great state, and his court was a beautiful place indeed. but it cost great deal to keep up the splendid way of living to which he was used. The Rajah soon spent all the money in his treasury, and then he taxed the people terribly in order to get more. The people were very angry, and some of them refused to pay the taxes, but the Rajah had those who would not pay punished fearfully, and the rest were so frightened that they made haste to pay even their last pennies to the tax collector, The Rajah was not cruel man, but he did not know how very poor his people were, and his couEtiers all urged him to make the taxes heavier and to kill those that would not pay them.
 Things went from bad to worse, and final ly the army began to murmur because they were taxed, too. The Rajah had not paid them anything in a long while, and SO they had nothing to pay taxes with. They were afraid that as soon as the Rajah found they were not paying the tax collector he would have them all killed, one by one; and so one night they all marched away at once and went to another country to find prince who would pay them. As soon as the people heard that the army had gone away they all arose at once and armed themselves with brooms, dustpans, rakes, crowbars and everything they could lay their hands on, and marched straight to the court. There were so many of them that nothing could stop them, and they very quickly overcame

again, after all" This made the Rajah feel better, and he promised to do just what the elephant said and see row 1t worked.
 Finally they came to little village, and the elephant walked up to hotel and told the Rajah to get down from his back and ask for room for the night. The Rajah did so, and ordered that the elephant be taken to a stable and fed. He gave the hotelkeeper a piece of gold, and was astonished to receive handful Of silver in change. He was so surprised that the hotelkeeper thought he must be stranger, and began to tell him about the Rajah's being driven away and his courtiers killed. He told all about how the people had been taxed, their goods taken and those who had no money to pay had been killed. The Rajah had not known of this before, and was very angry. "I don't wonder that the people arose." he said. "I wonder that they stood 1t so long" Then the hotelkeeper told him that there were seven poor families in the village who had mortgaged their houses to get the money to pay their taxes. The mortgages were to be foreclosed the next day, and the poor people were to be turned out into the street. How much do they oweT asked the Rajah. "Three pieces of gold each" was the answer. The Rajah went to bed and lay thinking great while be- fore he fell asleep.
 In the morning the RaJah went to the ele- plant and told him all he had learned from the hotelkeeper.
 What shall do?" he asked.
 ''Pay the mortgages at once," said the ele- phant, flor you have brought the people to
