Why Birds Live Long.

Why do birds live so much longer
than mammals, which are often hun

other things, because they have beaks
instead OF teeth. All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star

break. Neither are the herbivorous
animals In much better case. Old

Mo- rlmn for Heart.nreakIna.

Thackeray, says the Lamp, asked
us to believe in lives spent In gentle
melancholy on account OF an early
disappointment in lovo-"crossed in
love" is the expression coined for
this bit OF romanticism that, like
most romanticisms, is decidedly false
to life, certainly to the life OF our
day.
AS matter OF fact, men love, lose
and forget-and women, too; life
drives them on. Or they love and win
and marry. and happiness is succeed
ed by placid contentment, or interne-
cine war. ending in armed neutrality;
but ever life drives them on. We
have no time for either eternal regret
or the constant renewal OF an ecstasy
Of the past. Love Is for the spring
time OF life; in maturity II pales, in
the most fortunate cases. into beau
tiful friendship, into loyalty rewarded
by contentment, which is a more en-
during prize than the ill-defned state
vaguely described as happiness. Brok-
en- hearts are healed by more urgent
calls upon the energies, by vaster In
terests; the memorable, prosaic daily
round. ever widening, is blessing.

Representative Brownlow OF Ten

a country paper during campaign

editor was in. The frightened Brown

was not. but that he would go out
and hunt him up. He started for the
street and at the foot of the stairs
met another irate fellow, who asked !:
"Will | find the editor OF this dirty
sheet upstairs?" Yes" said Brown
low, hes up there at his desk just

went up and Brownlow disappeared.
