where it did 60 and 20 years ago. The

THE FAME OF THE CITY.

A great rich city of power and pride,
With streets full of traders, and ships
on the tide,
With rich men and workmen, and
judges and preachers,
The shops full of skill, and the
schools full of teachers.
The people were proud of their
opulent town,
The rich men spent millions to bring
it renown;
The strong men built and the trades
men planned,
The shipmen sailed 10 every land:
The lawyers argued, the teachers
taught,
And a poor shy poet his verses
brought,
And cast them into the splendid store.
The tradesmen stared at his useless
craft,
The rich men sneered, and the strong
men laughed;
The preachers said it was worthless
quite,
ne acHOOI-IucH CIdlmeu II was JnelrS

But the songs were spared though
they added naught
To the profit and praise the people
sought,
That was waited at last from distant
chimes;
And the townsmen said, ITO remotest
times
We shall send our name and our great.
ness down"
The boast came true; but the famous
town
Had a lesson TO learn when all was
told.
The nations that honored cared
naught for it's gold;
It's skill they exceeded hundredfold;
1t had only been one of a thousand
more
Had the songs of the poet been lost
to its store.
Then the rich men and tradesmen and
schoolmen said
They had never deridej but praised
instead:
And they boast of the poet their town
has bred.

there. 1t took nerve to trade horses
with the Bulls Head crowd, and one
had to be shrewd not to be beaten at
the game. There was no blind bid
ding. The traders went to the near
by stables and brought out their
horses, leading them into the bar
room, in fact. The men looked them
over quickly and gave or received
boot money. Often four or five
horses were on the floor at the same

preserve them in their natural beau

KISSING OUT OF FAVOR.

There are about four reasons for the
passing of the kiss:
1. 1t has been proved difficult for
two persons wearing Gainsbrough
hats or their notifications to kiss.
2. The long flowing wells of the mo-
ment become a tangled mass of chiffon
or net and the large velvet spots with
too rough treatment easily become de-
tached.
8. The complexion, unless exceeding
ly well made is apt to smear, and the
powder easily rubs off, presenting a
daubed effect.
4. The elaborate blouse and neck
ruffes, with the multitudinous chains,
etc, of modern dress decorations, are
easily crushed and quickly lose their
pristine beauty.
1t is therefore considered bad taste
to kiss in public, and so, since there
must be some way of welcoming a
friend, the manly handshake has come
in.-London Express.

MUSIC FOR AMERICAN CATH
OLtCS

Writing of the pope's recent
structure upon the use of concert
music in the church, a New York
critic points out:
The pontiff's attitude is by no
means the result of a momentary
mood, for eight years ago, when he
was Cardinal Sarto and patriarch of
venice, he began his efforts to efface
from the church under his jurisdiction
every form Of music not strictly re,
hglous.' At that time he spoke OF
the 'irreligious abuses in Catholic mu-
sic, and repudiated the light, trivial.
scenic and profane' compositions
which still seem to be the order OF
the day in most of the European and
American churches.
