eALLADE OF OLD LOVE LETTERS.
Decp in a cedar chest they lie, =,

Decp in a cedar chest they lie, y
Far removed from the light Of day, :
The ink on their pages long since dry.
The soul Of their longing fed away.
Lines that vary from grave to gay.
And yearnings tinged with the hearts desire,
And words that promise and plead and pray
These are the strings Of loves sad Tyre.
Many a year has passed them by
Many a month from March to May;
The SHOWS have gathered on hillocks high.
And birds have sung in the orchards gays
Minstrcls caroled their roundelay,
And nights grown black DER the sunsets pyre,
Yet such as these have survived decay
These are the strings Of loves sad Tyre.
All too sacred for mortal eye,
Let them dream in the silence gray.
For love remains though the lovers die,
Slow passing out from their house OF clayl
These shall last while the waters play,
And on till the steadfast winds may tire,
For this Is the music living aye
These arc the strings Of loves sad Tyre -
ENvoI.
Prince, whom the lords Of earth obeyS
Death, although thou art dark and dircs
Here il that which disputes thy sway
These are the strings of loves sad lyrc.

Some Answers.

"The grind of going over examination
papers" said the principal of down town
school recently, has its compensation
if one has a sense of humor. Some Of the
answers are stupidity funny, while others
are unconsciously witty. One of the ques
tons in the papers l went over recently
was, Name some of the causes of dys-
pcpsia.' One boys answer was, Eating
green apples and drinking beer between
meals Another answered, Drinking
ice water and after dinner speaking
Isn't that delicious? A third boy said
dyspepsia was caused by going in swim
ming on an empty stomach. Another
Question was, Name some of the vital
organs of the human body One answer
was, Heart, liver, lungs and lights.
These are the eternal organs. "-Phila-

The change now being made in the
kings title so that it may comprehend
the whole of the British empire and not
merely. as before, Great Britain and Ire
land and India marks an interesting
stage in the slow and gradual develop
mcnt of the royal address which hat
taken place since the time of Edward the
Elder, son and successor Of Alfred the
Great who was the first sovereign Of this
realm to call himself king of the English
and whose present day successor and
namcsake Is to be described in the sono-
rous and swelling phrase Edward by
the grace Of God, of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and Of all
the British dominions beyond the sea.
king, defender Of the faith, emperor Of
India"
The Edwards Of our history have been
especially associated with alterations ia
the royal style, for it was Edward III
who incorporated with his title that Of
King Of France and quartered the feur-
dc-lis on his coat of arms this practice
being maintained until the reign Of
George H. when on the parliamentary
union of Great Britain and ireland cen.
fury ago the claim was finally abandoned.
