HEARD BY AN OLD MAN.

Here in my easy chair | sit,
An old. old man before the fire..
Deaf TO all sounds of every day
And dead to every past desire.
Perhaps the failing outward sense
Quickens the spirits inner ear,
For sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds / hear.
All this long afternoon ] heard
The brook in the old orchard sing
Just as it used to, on the farm,
When first the grass grew green IN
spring
You know that gurgIing, gladstone
noise
The voice Of water wild with glee
when it has burst its icy bond
And finds itself alert and free.
The birds TOO. in the beech-tree grove,
/ hear them as in days Of yore
When l went forth Mt break of day,
Gall through the sunrise hush once
more.
And that one bird that nested high
| thought she had a silver throat
a trickle of clear melody,
Ii thrills me oft, her slender note.
My mothers voice too-oh, so plain
Ii calls across the fading light:
'.Come. children. time to leave your play;
Come in the house, It's almost night"
Sometimes when you have left the room,
And | alone am sitting here,
I speak the answer right out loud,
Yes, yes, I'm coming, mother dcart'
Then there's ono song comes back TO me,
Your mother sang it. my dear wife,
A slender girl dressed all in white,
First time / saw her in my life.
She used TO carol like q bird
'Tis an oll-fasbioned song, | know,
But duy by day hear her still
Singing, John Anderson, my Jo."
[ sometimes think that when | go
10 join her in the angel throng
iler voice. above the heavily hymn
Will rise once more in that loved song.
An old old man--and common speech
But seldom reaches my dullcd ear;
Yet sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds | hear.

Petit Larceny in Stamps.

There is a fraud upon the public that
we would like to root out" said a postof-
fee inspector, but it is almost impossible
TO reach the culprits, and to make ont
cases against them-difficult even to get
evidence on which TO base a stop order
against their mail. This fraud is simply
the larceny of 2-cent stamps by means OF
fake advertisements in the help wanted
columns of reputable newspapers which
have no means of knowing the fraudulent
nature of the advertisements. 1t costs
only tri1e to advertise COR some kind
of help, and some of these advertisements
will bring from 1000 to 1900 replies from
people who are looking for work or seek
ing to better themselves. Four-fifths of
these applicants for the bogus Job will
inclose stamps for reply. You can figure
it out. Eight hundred stamps are worth
$l6. These stamps are taken out Of the
letters, done up in packages of twenty
five or fifty and sold at q small discount"

dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. l had
number of skin tumours small
ones - on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual Irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
day or two it was as large as
half an orange. L was very much
alarmed, and was at loss to de-
termine whether it was carbuncle
or a malignant turnor,

Nail Culture.

The mobiles Of AMMAN permit their nails
TO grow as long as Nebuchadnezzar's did
in his grazing days; and The hands of
these strange Oriental aristocrats are abb

four to five inches. They are almost
straight in the main, with a slight inward

more tendency to twist. 1t is supposed
by some that the abnormality in nail cul-
