The letters which Madame Maurice
Sand collated shortly before her recent
death, and which are about to be given

TOGETHER.
Dedicated With Warmest Sympathy to the
American People by Alfred Austin, Poet
Laureate of England.

Who say we cherish far-off feud,
Still nurse the ancient grudges:
Show me the title of this brood
OF self-appointed judges;
Their name. their race, their nation, clan,
And we will teach them whether
We do not. as none others can,
Feel, think and work together,
Both speak the tongue that Milton spoke,
Shakespeare and Chatham welded.
And Washington and all his folk
When their just claim was yielded.
In it both lisp, both learn, both pray
Dirge death, and thus the tether
Grows tighter, tendeTer, every day,
That binds the two together.
Our ways are one and one our aim.
And one will be our story,
Who fight for Freedom. not for fame,
From Duty. not for glory;
Both stock IF the old Home. where blow
Shamrock. and rose, and heather,
And every year link arms and 20
Through its loved haunts together.
Should enyiOus aliens plan and plot
'Gainst one, and now the other,
They swift would learn how strong the knot
Binds brother unto brother.
How quickly they would change their tack
And show the recTeant feather,
Should Star-and- Stripe. and Union Jack,
But float mast-high together.
Now let us. give one hearty grip,
As by true men is given,
And vow fraternal fellowship
That never shall be given;
And with our peaceful flags unfurled,
Be fair or fOul the weather,
Should need arise face all the world
And stand or fall together.
Kent, England. The Independent.

The Raw Food Habit.

Just now the raw-food diet threatens
TO become fad. Certainly many people
are experimenting with this new dietetic
idea. 1t would he far better for the
average man or woman to adopt an abso-
utely raw diet and eat everything which
he could possibly eat or relish in a per-
fectly raw state, than to swallow into
his stomach the horrible messes which
are concocted by the average cook. l.
is safer on the whole for man to take
his food as he finds il in its natural state
than to take it as he finds it on the
table of the average boarding house or
hotel In other words, it is far safer
for man to receive his food straight from
the hands of his Maker than from the
hands Of a French cook.-London Good
