The Pipe.

Upon figgoi seated, pipe in lips
Leaning my head against the chimney wall,
My heart sinks in me, down my eyclids fall
As all alone | think OF lies eclipse.
Hope that puts off tomorrow for today
Essays TO change my sadness for awhile
And shows me with her kind and youthful
smile
A fate more glorious than mems word can say.
Meantime the herb in ashes sinks and dies,
Then to its sadness back my spirit flies,
And the old troubles still rise up behind
Live upon hope and smoke your pipe all alone
II means the sume When life is passed and done;
One B but smoke, the other is but wind.

canal discussion, none, 1t
seems to us, is more sensible
than that congress should authorize
the building of canal, decide upon a
maximum sum of expenditure, and
then pass the whole matter along TO
the president, saying: you hire what
engineers you need, have them decide
which is the best route, negotiate for
such concessions as may be needed
and go ahead"
The canal question in its practical
aspects is peculiarly an executive
problem. 1t is one that congress can
not hope to supervise in detail. There
fore, the sooner congress turns it over
to the executive department. the SOON
er there will be satisfactory progress,
The president has at his command
not only the highly developed engineer
ing skill of the army engineering corps
but also the entire professional skill
of the country. He. alone, can handle
satisfactorily the diplomatic problems
involved.
1t is objected that the executive is
continually encroachinS upon the pre-
negatives of the Legislative branch,
and that, therefore, congress should
not encourage but should discourage
the Capitalization of power in the
presidents hands. This sounds very
well from an academic standpoint,
but it does not remove the modern
tendency to get things done along the
lines OF the greatest economy, efficiency
and least resistance; which explains
why the American people look for re-
suits more and more to their presi-
dent and less and less to their 400 odd
congressman, who are continually
changing or disappearing and among
whom responsibility is sometimes al
most lost.

it calls attention to the fact that the United

the United Kingdom has lost ground, producing
30G,7i9 tons less in 1900 than in 1899, the total
for Great Britain beng nearly 100000 tons
less than in America. An unsatisfactory feature
in the British iron and steel trade is that in
1900 we imported more iron and steel than in
any previous year, and exported less, while the
United States exported more than ever" The

Most people have great horror Of getting a
"stroke'' or fit of apopleyy. 1t is not by any
means as unpleasant the toohachc, but the
suddeness OF it is what appas. There is really
no suddenness about it, however No disease
gives such early warning. A "strokc" is n very
simple occurrence, and not at all horrible. 1t
results from two or three causes, but the most
common one is this: A little artery in the brain
wears out and lets some blood escape, which
clots, presses on the brain, and paralyzes what
ever part OF the body is governed by the piece
of brain pressed upon, Now this artery wears
out only in common with other arteries of the
body. In some people they all become what is
! called athedomatous, or hard and brittle. At
the same time they become tortuous, or twisted.
We can these hard and tortuous arteries on
the temples, and then We know it is not safe
to do anything whiclp will congest the brain, lest
the one little artery there, which is especially
liable TO give way, shall let the blood escape,
Likewise warning is often given by the tiny ar
teries OF the eye. They breal; and let out little
traces of blood, which can easily be seen but

When these signs occur, and they occur months
and years before the stroke, do not get excited
