Good Night.

~ ~Ss6
Sleep on, beloved, and take thy rest;
Lay down thy head upon thy Saviour's
breast;
We love thee well, but Jesus loves
thee best
Good night
Calm is thy slumber as an infants
sleep,
But thou shalt wake no more to toll
and weep;
Thine is perfect rest, serene and
deep
Good night.
Until the shadows from the earth are
cast,
Until he gathers in his sleaves at last
Until the twilight gloom be overpast-
Good night.
Until the Easter glory gild the skies,
Until the dead in Jesus shall rise.
And He shall come, but not in lonely
gllise-
Good night.
Until made beautiful by love divine,
Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shalt
shine,
And he shall bring that golden crown
Of thine
Good night.
Only "good night" beloved, not fare
well,'
A little while and all His saints shall
dwell
In hallowed union, indivisfble-
Good night.
Until we meet again before His throne
Clothed in the spotless robe He give!
His own.
Until we know, even as we arr
known
Good night.

cage Limit. "

Two years ago it was decreed
That when a man reached forty-fiye
No one his services would need
He might as we'll not be alive.
At forty-five, it was declared,
Each man had grasped, or missed,
his chance
To be successful as he cared.
Observe, now, how these things ad-
vance.
Today we sagely are advised!
That when a man is forty-iive
His hopes should all be realized
That after that he cannot thrive;
There is no place for him to work
Or should be none, that is to say
He's growing old, and he might shirk
Or show lack of vim, some way.
Two years from now we may expect
10 see upon each toiling hive
This sign: thereafter well reject
Each man that's over twenty-five"
The ratio holds it's own, you see;
Tis but the working Of the plan;
One over twenty-five will be
A supcrannuated man.
Then two years later, have no doubt,
A newer placard will be seen:
"Henceforth This Company Bars Out
All Men Whose Age Exceeds Eff.
teen."
A mathematic problem, this,
From which deductions must be
drawn
Six years from now your job you'll
miss
If over five your age has gone.
Look, then at Nineteen Hundred
Twelve,
We need no spells or astrolabe
To prove that he who fain would delve
Must be a pudgy, prattling babe.
But after that what will we do
To fill the mills with workingmen?
Perchance they may once more &c
through
The line from age to youth again.

On the first. there had been no at.

MAKING MiiH RALATABLE.
Some Valuable and Practical sussee.

Some Valuable and Practical susaee-
tions to Amateur Nurses, ~
Many patients when ordered milk
diet pesiAveiS Ssatee that they cannot
endGre the taste Of milk, that it al
ways nauseates them, or that it makes
then bilious and produces headache.
The objection to tho taste can always
be overcome, and by a little tact and
perseverance there are few persons
whS. eaahot digest q. more or less ex-
elusive milk diet <or a few days or
weeks if the milk is properly given.
Their previous unfavorable experience
is probably due to having large dose
of undiiuted milk which soured, eeag;
ulated and was rejected, exciting all
this distaste which they have treasured
against it.
When the milk diet Is NECESSARY,
such patients should eommshce with
teaspoonfiil or two at time, repeat
ing it once in ten or fifteen minutes.
If the milk is taken very slowly into
the stomach and mingled on the way
with saliva, like other food, eaten
rather than drunk, 1t Is impossible
to form the large tough curds that it
does when poured down by the tum-
blerful, like a dose ot disagreeable
salts. III this manner by degrees the
patient will be convinced of his abil-
ity to retain it and then the quantity
ray be increased.
Sometimes patients dislike the taste
of raw milk or tire IF It: f6is may be
easily overcome by flavoring it in a
variety of ways. A few teaspoontuls
Of blac., coffee is one Of the best
means 1t hand. Very weak tea may
be preferred. Caramel. or ginger IS
another *uelient Havoring substance
which may be literally used. Some
patients may take little chocolate
or cocoa nibs infusion with their glass
of milk. Others prefer the addition
of common salt or little black pep
per.
None Of the additions materially af-
feet the hutritive value Of milk and
the variety of taste which may be Sc
cured with these different fsGoring
substances will Invariably overcome
all pre.udices:-Hodsekeeper

A Garden Hint,

1t is sometimes claimed that a gar
den becomes too rich, and that 1t pro-
duces an enormous growth Of vine,
with but little seeds or fruit. The
difficulty is that the garden contains
an excess of some kind of plant foods.
Rotate the crops or make the garden
in new location, growing corn, pota-
toes and cabbage successfully on the
old location when it may be used as a
garden plot again. 1t is doubtful, how.
ever, if garden can be too rich.
