Disappearing Glaciers.

Last week the federal government of Switzerland made known the result of a years observations on a matter of great interest to tourists-the slow but steady wearing away of the glaciers. Special attention was directed to the glaciers of Valais, and here it has been ascertained that twelve have decreased by three to sixteen meters, the latter figure having reference to Findelem, in Zermatt. On the other hand, glacier In the Simplon has grown in size. while another at zan- f1euron has increased by twenty-four meters.

To Him who gave us strength and skin

Bare-ar1ned among the laden trees they
pulled the branches low;
Home at twilight went the wains. with US
to follow after.

And I said: Give thanks. Heart OF

young men then went into business
together and determined to become
captains of industry, but fate in the
shape of the Chicago climate deter

West to purer air and Ned remained
behind to flirt with fortune.
Thanksgiving had always been their
particular day: they never missed

more pressing reason why the fami-

boy and the girl had grown up into

junior Harley Jones had attained
twenty-five years and the maiden,
