UNCEF FINED.

Who can define love? Not the li.tie child
Who lifts his soft eyes from his mothers knee,
Fulfilled with innocent tranquility,
Nor that poor knight who went where Venus
smiled
And strove by after suffering begui,ed,
To sing the meaning Of its mystery;
Nor can he tell whom love hath crowned or ne
From very pain OF love uncone made wild
Not the wan nun who at the white Christ's feet
Offers the world as one poor sacrifice
Nor the sad tide that follows where the sweet,
Swift moon allures it from the circling skies.
Nay, not from time or Joy or suffering
Is knowledge brought that We may know THU
thing.

Cooked Under Water.

An Englishman made a wager that
be could cook plum pudding ten feet
beneath the surface of the Thames and
won the bet by placing the pudding in
a tin case and putting the whole in a
sack Of lime. The heat Of the lime,
slaking when it came in contact with
the water, was sufficient to cook the
pudding in two hours.

truly odd Customs Oi England's Nhan-
mel Islands.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton declares
that woman should keep her family
name through life ana not have II
merged in that of her husband. Mrs.
Stanton would be delighted with the
customs pertaining in the Channel
Islands, those remnants of England's
French empire lying off the coast of
France. In the Channel Islands the
woman does not change her name on
marriage; no matter how often she
changes partners. she carries her
maiden nasle with her TO the grave.
If couple are summoned TO appear
at police court. their names would
appear as follows:
John Brown and his wife Mary
Smith" etc.

and issues bank notes accordingly,
which. Ivy the way, are only ncGotia-
