OF fruits that resemble animals, the
bufialo-headed nut. trspa bicornis OF

fade away again before you reach the

THE WAY or THE$WORLD.

The way of the world is a wonderful
way H..
!. Wonderful in its madness!
It's mad endeavor from day to day
That ends each night in sadness.
For men are greedy to compass wealth
With schemes unjust and Vicious,~
Or seek for pleasures, by sun or stealth,
And call their sins delicious!
The way of the world is a sorrowful
way
Sorrowful in its grieving!
IT'S a grievous fear that friends betray,
And none is worth believing.
For men will sell their honor for gain,
And women their virtue give
For ripples Of joy on seas of pain
That food the years they live.
The way of the world is a sickening
way
Sickening in it's meanness!
Ills mean existence with husks Away
TO pail the soul with leanness.
Far better the ways of Christ, with
peace,
With rags, and crust and cold!
a little from God, with a heart content,
Is better than boards of gold!

as: a single cartman can push a heavy
box over the rollers with ease, and the
rev device makes the operation prac-
tically noiseless. There is no chance of
the box sliding down the incline, as the
rollers have automatic locks which pre-
vent them from revolving backward.
The skid can be reversed for unload
ing goods from the wagon, or may be
used as truck for moving burdens on
level ground by using it with the roll
ers face down. With the time saved in
both loading and unloading, the neces-
sity for fewer men and the great de-
crease Of danger to both the truckman
and the goods, it would seem that this
new skid has much to recommend its
use by express companies, glass, porcc-
lain and piano factories and all con-
Germs shipping heavy freight.
