tiers, may be called the feat Of poison
ing by sleight of hand. You were jeal-
GUS of n lady. and you wished to kill
her. Well. you asked her to lunch, and
you caused very nice peach to be
served at dessert. You cut the fruit
with a golden knife, one side Of the
blade of which was endued with a
deadly poison. You presented the poi
soned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead.
The wholesome half you ate your

We give unstinted praise to the man
Who is brave enough to die
But the man who struggles unflinchingly
Against the currents of destiny
And bears the storm of adversely
We pass unnoticed by.
We've plaudits and tears for him who
falls,
Borne down in the shock of strife.
Put word of cheer we neglect to say
TO him who plods on his dreary way
And fights in silence from day to day
The unseen battles of life.
There's courage, l grant. required to face
Grim death on the CORY field;
There's also courage required to meet
LIES burden and sorrow. to brave defeat
To strive with evil and not retreat
To suffer and not to yield.
Some moments are there in every life
When the spirit longs for rest.
When the heart is filled with bleak de-
spatr,
When the weight of trouble remorse and
care
Seems really greater than we can bear
And death were welcome guest
But we crush II down and we go our way
To the duties that lie in wait;
From day TO day we renew the fight,
To resist the wrong and to seek the right,
IT, climb at last to the sun crowned height
And to climb DER time and fate.
And thus-for my heart goes out to them
My need of praise | would give
To those who struggle life's path along,
The host of toll. who are patient. strong.
The unrewarded, unnumbered throng
Who are brave enough to live.

1t Is stated that in Persia at the same
period there was n clepsydra on ter
race near the palace formed of bal
ance containing twelve metal balls,
one of which fell every hour on a bell
and thus struck the hours correctly. 1t
Is deemed not unlikely that this instrU-
ment was identical with the celebrated
one which the king of Persia sent In
the year S07 to Charlemagne.

have been required. As to the nature

There is tree that grows in Mexico
called the "chijol." or stone tree. 1t is
of enormous proportions, both in cir
conference and height. 1t has num-
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves Of a yellowish
green color. The wood is extremely fine
and easily worked in green state. 1t
is not given to either warping or split
ting. The most remarkable thing about
it Is that after being cut the wood
gets gradually harder. and in the course
of few years it is absolutely petrified
whether left in the open air or buried
in the ground. From this timber houses
can be built that would in few years
become completely fireproof and would
last as though built of stone.
