Ten-cent Concerts for the Poor.

an object to give to the music lovers
Of that great place the best music
that could be secured and now 1t wifi
give concerts in halls at regular
intervals in the poorer sections OF
the city, with an admission of only
ter cents charged. For years this
has been the dream OF the society
but only lately have the members
been able to make definite plans

HARDY ROSES.

You know, when summer days are done
And winter days are nigh,
The garden roses, one by one.
Begin to droop and die,
Yet roses | have often seen.
The loveliest of all.
That blossom when the winds are keen
And snowy showers fall.
Jack Frost may nip them, but instead
They bright and brighter grow,
And redder bloom and roster red,
For all the storms that blow.
But shut them in a sultry room,
From out the biting gale,
Then they Will fade and lose their
bloom,
And turn from red to pale
These bOnny roses would you seek
Upon a winters day?
Then look on every healthy cheek
Of little folks at play.
Youths COMPANION.

Health in the Philippines

Although the Philippines have not
been heretofore regarded as a par
ticularly healthful place, the ex-
perience of our troops there since
1898 has shown some remarkable
physical results. While local fevers
and intestinal diseases seem to have
been particularly disastrous to men
and women of full habit, and caused
them loss of flesh and vitality, thin
and anaemic people stationed there
have improved in blood and vitality
and increased in weight. In many
cases the frail and delicate have
become younger in feeling and actual

Ship Canal Across France.

The question of a ship canal across
france, and thus joining the Atlantic
and the Mediterranean. is again up
for discussion. The special commits
sion appointed in 1896 reported the
scheme as impracticable, partly on
the ground that one of the reaches
would have to be 525 feet above the
sea level and the supply of water from
the upper GarOnne would be insult
ticient to keep this reach filled, and
partly because it was calculated that
the passage through the 272 miles al
canal, including the delay at the locks
would take eightySiX hours. during
which time ships would be able to go
round and save the payment of the
canal dues. These difficulties, it is
held, are no longer inSuDerable. and
it is cOntended that by a new invcn-
ton ships of the heaviest tonnage can
be raised Cheaply to the upper reach
es OF the canal without loss of water.
and thus the passage be reduced to
thirty hours. On these grounds a now
commission has been asked for and as
the canal will be of great strategic
value in time of war all points in
favor of the scheme will no doubt be
stretched to their utmOSt-Savanna

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE
Knew When His Harness Was O,
WTono

Wrong.
Several years ago, when residing
IN my native town of Scituate, Mass.
cur family physician, DR. Stetson.
told me an interesting story of his
Intelligent horse.
A short time before, he was called
at midnight to visit a serious case of
sickness, and at once took his horse
from the stable, harnessed him in
great haste and proceeded on his
way, but when about a quarter of a
mile from home he reached a hill
AND was just about to begin the
descent when the horse suddenly
stopped and refused to go any
further. The doctor then felt sure
something was wrong and alighted
from the carriage, and carefully feel
ing over the harness, found that in
his hurry and the darkness he had
omitted to buckle one side of the
bfeeching, which would have let the
carriage on to the horse as soon as
began to descend the hill. He at
once made the necessary fastening,
got into the carriage, and the intelli-
gent horse then started in double
qd7ck for the sick patient.
Was this instinct or reasoning in
telligence?"
