kissing Time.

IT'S when the lark goes soaring
And the bee is at the bud,
When lightly dancing zephyrs
Sing over field and food.
When all sweet things In nature
Seem Ioyfully a-chime--
Ills then ! wake my darling.
For 1t is kissing time!
Go. pretty lark, a-soariug,
And suck your sweets, o beei
Sing, o yc winds OF summer,
Your songs to mine and met
For with your song and raptuea
Cometh the moment when
It's half past kissing time
And time to kiss againl
So, so the days so 6eeting
Like golden fancies free,
And every day that comcth
Is full of sweets for me,
And sweetest are those moments
My darling comes to climb
Into my lap to mind me
That it is kissing timel
Sometimes, maybe. he wanders
A needless. aimless way
Sometimes. maybe, he loiters
In pretty. prattling play,
But presently bethipks him,
: And he hastens to me then,
For it's half past kissing timo
And time to kiss again!

Rest.

Rest.
NY feet are wearicd, and my, hands are tired,
Ny soul oppressed,
And with desire have | long desired
Rest-only rest.
'Ts hard to toll when toll Is almost vain
In barren ways;
'Tis hard to sow and never garner grain
In harvest days
The burden OF my days is hard to bear.
But God knows best;
And have prayed, but vain has been my prayer
For rest-sweet rest
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard to till, and when 'tis titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And SO cry. a weak and human cry.
So heart oppressed;
And so sigh weak and human sigh.
For rest for rest.
Ny way has wound across the desert years.
And cares iniesi
My parh. and through the flowing OF hot tears
pine for rest
Twas always so When still child. laid
On m9thers breast
My wearied little head E'en then prayed.
As now. for rest
And am restless still. Twill soon be over.

Where shall rest Father Ryan.

What We Most Rene nber.

Memory is for the most part IA trivial
fond record of the affairs of everyday
life, and our intense desire not to lose
the remembrance OF these unimportant
everyday matters is one of the greatest
testimonies to the predominance of
happiness over unhalS'iness in the
world. Do we not feel sorry from our
hearts for any one who has lost such
an infinitely precious possession with
out even wondering whether or no
there was anything in their past lives
worth recollecting? After all, how few
are the hours which any of lis would
blot out Of our lives! Those perhaps
during which we have witnessed or
suffered acute physical or mental pain,
the moment when we engendered the
worm of remorse which dieth not or
those few minutes of humiliation
which. whether we trar" t,:cm to fault
or fate, remain in oEr minds to "vex
us like thing tat is raw" But how
small is the part we would have taken
away compared to tEc part VIC would
retain!-LOndon Spectator.

An Execution In China.

The poor wrctches were made to dig
a large square pit. and one b. oue they
were made kneel ut the edge with
their hands tied behind their backs. \
Japanese officer stepped forward and
with the ordinary service sword urew
1t back and forward over the poor
wretch's neck. and then with swift
blow it descended. cutting off the head.
The next one was as successful. and
then came terrible spectacle. The Jap
anese officer, after wiping his sword,
drew the back to and fro over the
poor wrctch's Eeck three or four times
before he struck the fatal blow. Down
came the blade on the apex of the skull.
cutting about two inches into the neck.
The poor wretch fell into the pit, the
Japanese officer climbing down and
saving away at the neck until the head
was severed. The heads were inlnehi-
ately carried over to the main road and
strung up on poles as an object lesson
to the large number of Chinese who
were congregatcd around with blanch-
ed faces.-Canadian Magazine.

Natural Waters,

All natural waters contain a greater
or less amount Of mineral matter in So
luton. Rain water has the smallest
percentage Of solid impurities of any.
and therefore it is taken as the stand
ard variety Of soft water.
The terms soft and hard, however,
as applied to water are scientifically
considered purely relative.
Water is usually rcckoned to be
"soft" when it contains less than one
tivc-thousandth part of its weight of
mineral ingredients and "hard" when it
contains more than one four-thou-
sandth.
Soft water has the property of easily
forming lather with soap and is
therefore suitable for washing pur-
poses. While hard water will only form
a lather, and that impcrfectly. with
considerable difficulty.
A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandtll Of it's weight of nat
ural dissolved solids, and IL medicinal
water Is a variety of mineral water
containing varying percentage Of dis
solved natural solid or gaseous drugs

Recipes For Happiness.

Happiness is not to be procured like

recipes for its acquisition are simple,
and therefore we ignore them. Love

fection between parent and children,
courtesy in intercourse, devotion to
duty and perfect sincerity in every re-
lation Of life-those are the ingredients
Of happy life. In the quest for hap
piness one could not do better than put
into practice the precepts of the great
Persian: Taking the first step with
the good thought. the second step with
the good word and the third step with
the good deed. l entered paradise."-

Buttered Side In.

One Of the stories which Levi Hutch
ins. the old time clockinakcr of Con-

the youth of Daniel Webster.
"One day" said the old man. while
] was taking breakfast at the tavern
kept by Danicl's father. Daniel and his
brother Ezekiel, who were little boys
with dirty faces and snarly hair, came
to the table and asked me for bread
and butter.
Il complied with their request, little
thinking thar they would become very
distinguished men. Daniel dropped
his piece of bread on the sandy floor.
and the buttered side Of course was
down. He looked at it moment. then
picked it up and showed it to ME, say.
ing:
"'What pity! Please give me
piece Of bread buttercd on both sides;
then if let it fall one of the buttered
sides will be up"

Dollar. In odd sh.n..

Under the law a silver dollar NAV be
grain and half over weight or q
grain and half under weight, and this
limit of tolerance applies to all Of our
silver coins In other words, they are
not allowed to vary more than that
much from standard. In the case Of
goldpieces, the limit IS half a grain
either way up to the eagle, Il variation
or as much as one grain being pcrmissi-
bic in the $40 and 500 pieces.
Whenever a fresh batch Of dollars is
turned out ut the mint, samples are
forwarded to tic treasury at Washing.
ton. where they are put through very
curious process. Each dollar is first
weighed OH eNquisitely delicate scales
to make sure that it is heavy enough
and yet not too heavy. Then it is pass
ed between two steel rollers again and
again until 1t is tiattcncd out and
transformed into thin strip of silver
sort Of ribbon-a foot and half in
length. Then it is put beneath Il little
machine provided with several small
punches. by which hundreds of tiny
disks are punched out of the metal
strip.
Now, the object of this performance
Is to obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar. inasmuch as it is
conceivable that one portion might bc
richer in silver than another. The little
disks are shutlled together. and IL few
of them, taken at random from the lot.
are subjected to an assay. Thus the
tineness of the material of the dollar is
asccrtained with absolute accuracy
and. the weight having been already
determined. the value and correctness
Of that coin are perfectly known.
The sample pieces laving been found
correct, it is inferred that the entire
batch Of dollars is all right.-Saturday
