UNREST

Who hath not stayed his hand
Once in the grinding. ceaseless round
of toll,
To ask the question with weary
smile:
Lo. is it all worth while?
hopping the sweat from off his heat
ed brow,
Lo. is it all worth while?
Looking to where the sun comes
through the door.
Or silver wash of moonlight floods the
floor.
Lo, is it all worth while?
All day the busy hen
Goes on her way the stubborn soil
along,
Picking the food that chance has scat,
tered there.
All day the butterfly
Flutters in aimless purpose through
the grove,
Yet by one purpose held.
All day the patient OK
Plods to the creaking yoke;
And horses, dogs and geese,
Camels and fishes
Elephants and whales,
And all strange creatures moving
through the world.
In cities, or in forest or in the air,
Or in the depths of never-sounded
seas,
Plod to their tasks as stubbornly as
trees.
And, bark ye, in the caches of the
earth
Are million springing seeds
III ceaseless ferment,
Old bones that change to blooms,
And tOads and crawling worms,
Each with sufficient purpose;
And far above,
\ ceaSeleSS rush of worlds
Toiling through space,
Each his allotted pace;
No greater in the vast cosmogony
Than worm or toad or seed
Or we small men
We speckS and notes diminutive,
In all this scheme and chaos of our
worlds.
Who send anon the plaintive wall
thrO' space
Whereto no answer ever has come
back
Lo, is it all worth while?
o thou of purpose, plodding on thy
way.
Nc idle doubts shall ever mar thy
day;
Like stern volcanoes in the ancient
hills
Making the mines for ages all unborn
Thyself shall labor like those Titan
mills,
Sleeping O nights to labor on the
morn:
And though, stout in soul, thou cans
not see today
The end and purpose of thy work I'm
furled.
Yet still strive on, the ages show the
These patient workers make a better
world.

THE SUN is SELDOM ON TIME.
Only Four Days When Old Sol Isn't
Too Early or Too Late

The sun does not keep good time
He is almost always too fast or too
slow. Once about the middle of April
he is just on time, then not again
before the middle of June At the be-
ginning of September he joins the
clock a third time, and lastly once
more late in December. Now it would
seem if he were startled at the way
he had neglected us. In February he
fell back until he was fifteen minutes
late. By the beginning of March he
had made up fifteen minutes of his
loss, and before the month is over he
will have caught up to within five min
utes of the schedule. Meanwhile the
days have been growing longer very
rapidly. We begin March with our
nights longer than our days. We
end it with our days longer than our
nights. In the one month we have
added to the length of our day an
hour and twenty minutes. a bigger
gain than any other month can show

THE EVER USEFUL PRUNE.
II Has a Medicinal as Well as Eco
nomic Value

nomic Value.
Up to a few years ago the prunes
which came to America were grown
mostly in southern Europe, and prev
iously to that time the one great pre-
ducing country was Asia Then this
fruit had to travel half way around
the world, and the buyer never knew
i" just what shape 1t would be re-
ceived 1t might come in boxes
soaked with salt water or the import
er might open a box to find it filled
with prunes so dry and hard that they
would roll around like dice in box.
The fruit was usually plucked from
the trees before it had been given an
opportunity to ripen because of the
long voyage ahead, and in such in
stances would be unhealthy and lack
favor If 1t were pluckcd just ripe
enough then when it reached Ameri-
ca it would be soggy, for even by the
drying process it is almost impossible
to secure the fruit against the effects
of a sea trip of many thousands OF
miles.
Now America has immens" prune
crops right at her front gate,
for out in California Ger
tain districts have been and still are
sending out almost unlimited quaint
ties of prunes, which have practically
driven the far eastern fruit from the
market. With this immense market
only a weeks trip away it is possible
to secure the fruit which has been
picked from the trees at just the prop
er time
When fully ripe the fruit is an ex
cellent food for weak stOmachs, ana
many physicians advise persons at
flicted with indigestion to partake of
a dish of the stewed pTunes every
morning as an opening wedge for the
breakfast The prunes need not nee
essarily be steWed, for they can be
prepared in a hundred or more differ
ent ways, into the most appetizing of
dishes. as almost plain prunes, or so
concealed by creams as to be unrecOg-
nizable until tasted, when, OF course,
the flavor is known, although not al
ways, for a good chef can so change
the prune as to keep family guess
ing for many weeks.
Contrary to the opinion of some,
pTunes are just as wholesome eaten
raw as when cooked, and, in fact, are
served by some people as side dish
Of dainty confection both at table and
at other times.
1t is an acknowledged fact that for
children no better fruit can be found
than the prune. 1t is not too rich and
is quite effective as a laxative, physa-
clans often ordering it for childreo
who suffer from various internal dis
turbances. Besides. almost all chill
dren like the prune, which is said
to often prevent them from taking
various diseases. However this MAJ
be, it is fact that prunes always
have and probably always will be
counted as one Of the healthiest of
foods. Business men who lead sed-
entary lives have begun to find IN
them an excellent lunch at the noon
hour, when nothing seems to taste
good, and it is surprising to notice
the number of stewed prunes eaten
at noontime in the many restaurants
in the city.

ALExANDRA'S PETS.
The Queen of England Has Kennels
That are Famous

Queen Alexandra has a catholic
taste in pets, and her four-foOted and
feathered pets at Sandringham range
all the way from Arab steeds to cen
tenarian cOckatoos. Her kennels are
famous and her dogs have won 1aurels
at many a bench show.
They live as royal dogs should
not in enervating ease and luxury but
according to the best preceptS and
training that money can supply. TIC
be sure, Billy and Punchy do have silk
cushions in the royal dressing room
and are more or less coddled but they
are Japanese spaniels and too small
to be taken seriously
Out in the Queens kennels there
are all sorts and conditions of dogs
many of them gifts; others bred al
Sandringham. The crowd is as cos
mOpolitan as is a table d'hote at q
foreign spa.
Mr.. BudSOn has for many years had
entire charge of Queen Alexandria
pets but once or twice a week she
herself makes the rounds of the ken
nels. She puts on big white apron
takes baskets of bread, and begins hel
visit.
PandemOnium is turned loose fol-
every dog in the kennels adores hel
and bursts into enthusiastic welcomes
at he sound of her voice. The most
stubborn and unmanageable of the big
dogs Obeys her slightest word, and she
hasn't an idea of what the word feal
means, in connection with dogs.
Each kennel has all inner room sup
piled with an iron bedstead and straw
mattress. Adjoining this room is ar
open room, furnished with fresh
straw and water.
Every sanitary precaution is taken
The kennels are built round a central
yard and behind them are liberal
grass runs. A kennel kitchen, where
meals for the dogs are boiled in huge
copper pots, and a larder filled with
oatmeal, biscuits and other supplies
adjoins the kennels.
There is big bathouse, too. and al
stated intervals each dog is vigorous
ly tubbed. Meal hours are absolutely
regular. The big dogs have one meal
a day, the little dogs two meals and
each dog is exercised as religiously as
a prizefghter in training.
Two hours is the allotted time for
exercice and the hounds start the ball
rolling at 6 o'clock in the morning.
The bassetts have their turn next. and
SO it goes, until late in the day, the
small dogs are punched under the
head of miscellanies and taken out to-
gether
There is a dog hospital in the ken
nels, delightfully."- sunny place fitted
out with invalid comforts and, dis
creetly retired, SO that it may not
dampen the spirits of the living. a
dog graveyard where any dog that
falls by the way is sure of a green plot
and a tombstone appropriately in
scribed
The queen is as fond of her stables
as OF her kennels. They were built
especially for her and are picturesque
buildings around a very large court.
The inside walls are covered with
white glazed thing and each stall
bears the royal coat of arms and hand
some brass mountings, while the name
of the horse appears in brass mounted
on red and blue above each manager. !

How a Blind Man Can Tell Time.

AAAS
Perhaps many people have noticed that
the blind man who plays the hand organ
day after day at Grand avenue bridge
has a watch in his pocket. He has 6
watch and can tell time too.
Yesterday a man dropped a nickel in
his cup and. noticing the watch, asked
him for the time. 1t was q queer uues-
ton to ask, but he saw the watch and
wanted to know whether the blind man
was simply pretending to be sightless.
II think l can tell" said the blind man.
He held it up close to his ear and slowly
turned the stem winder.
Zone, two. three, four, five, six, seven,
eight" he counted, and her he said:
THAT means se~venty-two minutes. 4
wound up the watch tightly at 3 o'clock,
and so the time ought to be about twelve
minutes past f. Here look and see how
near ! came to it,"
His questioner looked, and the time was
AIS. He was only six minutes of.
"DO you mean to say that you can tell
The time Of day by winding up your
watchT" o..
"Not exartay, but l can come mighty
neal It., usually within ten minutes, and
it's very easy too. All you have to know
is how one long click, in winding up will
run the watch. I'll explain. Suppose
that at 3 o'clock I wind up my watch
until it is tight, as we say-that is. until
another turn Of the winder would appar-
emily break a spring. At 5 o'clock l
wind the watch again and find that the
winder clicks twelve times before the
watch is wound up to the place where It
sticks. Then | know that twelve clicks
will run the watch 120 minutes and that
one click represents ten minutes Of time"
