The Great Dead.

This 24th day of May is the S2nd anni- versary of the birth of Queen Victoria, and since British subjects at home and all over the world have been accustomed for three and sixty years to observe the day, 1t will not pass unnoticed now that the good and great queen sleeps with her hun dred generations of lsingly ancestors. Yet, Alexander died. Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth to dust; the dust is earth; of earth we make loam; and why not of that loam, whereto he was con verted. might they not stop a beer bar rel?
 "Imperious Caesar, dead, and turned to
 clay,
 Might stop hole to keep the wind away: o, that the earth, which kept the world in
 awe
 Should patch wall to expei the winters

APHoRisMs ABOUT WOMEN

From Max O'Relrs new book.
 However i'll you may speak or think of women you will always find a woman able to do 1t better than you.
 A loving woman will keep her heart warm as long as she lives, and her hair black as long as she dyes.
 A woman who is constantly blushing must be terribly well informed.
 Women should have two great aims in life-trying to be beautiful and succeed ing in being pleasant.
 There comes a time when a woman has to make up her mind to choose between being called a dear old soul' or a ~'crabby dld thing. -
