followed. arising out Of the fact that
the visitor was wearing q red neck

was painting in quite different key.
Finally he obliged the visitor to take

No more his fingers sweep the silent

No more his pale lips wake the sleeping

No more our eager ears shall wait to hear

To-day the world Is poorer by the loss
OF so much manhood that has passed

Passed-an6 remaining in undying song:
A legacy that reckons not to-day.
He left no miser's hoard that we may

And In his god-like sacrifice OF SELL

The sympathy that waited not for proofs
Had blessed his simple heart thou

Kings have asked less; from out their

To dwell not with the sordid things OF
earth,
But in the very inmost souls OF men-
And there he dwelt. and through eternity

The Best Tooth Powder.

said a dentist, "the rule should be
THE simpler and better" If you
want the very best possible tooth
powder, you must make it for your.
SELF 1t won't cost you much to
make, either. You get three-quarters
of a pound of precipitated chalk and
a quarter of a pound of orris root,
and these you mix together. You
have then your tooth powder-the
best one. There is nothing in the
world so good for the teeth, you
know, as precipitated chalk, and what
you add to the chalk is only added
to make it pleasanter in the mouth.
The less you add, the better-Phila.

Gen, Macdonald'. charoer,

Under the will of The late Sir Hen
~ Macdonald, the British general
who committed suicide in Paris some
months ago, directions were given
that his war horse used in the South
African campaigns should be shot,
the hoofs being preserved as memen-
toes. Before the contents of the will
were known in Ceylon the animal
was sold to wealthy Singhalese
gentleman. He has now intimated
his readiness to hand over the horse
to Lady Macdonald on condition that
it be not killed, or on the other hand
to retain it, undertaking that when
ever the death of the animal shall
take place the hoofs shall be forward
ed to the son of the late general.

Immediately another monster sword"
