Excess.

Excess. -
Men strive for money the whole year
long
It is hard to win and easily spent:
It oft does good and as often wrong,
And gold alone cannot bring content.
Love is the song youth loves to sing,
And a sweeter song man knoweth not;
But to eat one dish Is a tedious thing,
And love alone does not boil the pot.
Ambitions q steed that bears amain
To fame, position, glory, wealth;
But willful charger that hates the rein,
- Vaulting ambition, o'erleaps itself.
War 10 a game kings love to play,
And glory Is his who wins the fight;
Does the victor think at the close Of day.
OF the warrior slain and the widows
plight?
Wine rests the weary and warns the DID,
Wit follows the bubbles that crown the
feast;
But it eats the brain and drinks up gold,
And the. slave Of drink is an utter beast.
Life is delightful in its spring,
And its summer is sweet while joys are
But how Of the winter the swift years
p There Is nothing so sad as too long a

About quarter OF a century ago
the artist Whistler went through the
bankruptcy court-a sequel to the
Wh!stler-Ruskir trial. which brought
him only farthing damages and a
very long bill IF costs. The testers
made merry and Whistler with them.
It was said that Whistler. tie man Of

at~ast-he could not make an arrange

comedies enacted in Whistler's home,
as when (by borrowed idea) the
hailiff's man, put into evening dress,

affair was over friend congratulated
him on having come through his diff
culties. What dif1iculties?" asked
Whistler. ooh, difficulties with the
creditors" my difficulties indeed"
exclaimed the artist. Theirs, you

Enforced !ntoxication.

Suit was brought recently by a
ccllarman against liquor dealer in
LIVERPOOL for enforced intoxication.
The plaintiff alleged that he was OBJ
liged to draw off whisky from one cask
to another by means of tube, which
he had to suck every now and then to
start the flow. At each operation he
was. compelled to swallow a little OF
the liquor, and in this way became
drunk. He had been fourteen years
in the trade, and had never been drunk
before. He was granted a verdict OF
IS. rs and costs.

Russian Stamps.

Russia is, or will be very shortly.
the possessor of the Oldest unchanged
issue of postage stamps in the world.
Up till now Hongkong held that posi-
ton. The first Hongkong stamps
were issued in 1859, and are identical
in every respect with those in use to-
day. The head of King Edward is,
however, soon to replace that of Vic
toria, and thenceforth the Russian is

Levels on an Idol,

The jewels of an Indian idol must
be worth stealing if many of those,
remarkably hideous images possess
such valuable head ornaments as one
made for the idol Parthasathy, in
Triplicane temple at Madras. The
ornament is worth some $4,000 rupees,
and is made of sovereign gold, studded
with diamonds, emeralds and rubies,
the largest emerald being valued at
1000 rupees and the biggest ruby and
diamond at 300 rupees apiece.
