For Loves Sake.

Sometimes I am tempted to murmul
That life is fitting away,
With only round Of trifes
Filling each busy day,
busting hooks and corners,
Making the house look fair,
And patiently taking on me
The burden of womans care.
Comforting childish sorrows
And charming the childish heart
With the simple song and story
Told with mothers art;
Setting the dear home table
And clearing the meal away,
And going on little errands
In the twilight of the day.
One day is just like another
Sewing and piecing we'll
Little jackets and trousers
So neatly that none can tell
Where are the seams and Jennings
All! the seamy side Of life
Is kept out of sight by the magic
OF many mother and wife!
6
And oft when I'm ready to murmur
That time is fitting away
With the self-same round of duties
Filling each busy day,
1t comes to my spirit sweetly,
With the grace Of a thought divine
"You are living, toiling for loves sake
And the loving should never repine
"You are guiding the little footsteps
In the way they ought to walk,
You are dropping a word for Jesus
In the midst of your household talk
Living your life for loves sake,

Legal Burial-As there is a law
against burying in the city Of Albany,
the Episcopal bishop had to have a
special act of legislature to be buried
in the cathedral. He was successful
in having the act pass the lawmakers.
but his friends were astounded and
worried when they read its text. It
began with the usual verhiage. The
ending was something like this:
I'VE do grant that Bishop Doane be
buried within the precincts of the CATH
edral at Albany. This act to take ef-

They Never Drink Water.

There are hundreds of horses and
thousands of cattle in the Hawaiian is
ter throughout the whole course of their
lives. On all the islands the upper lati-
tudes of the mountains are given up to
cattle ranges. Except possibly two or
three months in the rainy season there
are no streams or pools of water in any
part where the cattle roam, but every
where there grows recumbent, jointed
grass, known by the native name OF
MAMMA" That is both food and drink.

Wasp Paper-Makers.

Brazil has natural paper making in
dustry peculiarly it's own. The country
abounds in curious wasp, which builds
nests for itself of paper which it manu-
features by the ton. The paper is made
from vegetable refuse, which is so
treated by the wasps that it becomes
hard, like cardboard. 1t is so durable
that it resists all effects of climate and
lasts five or six years.

He Got Square.

A farmer once came into Connecticut
tavern with eggs to sell. The TRANSACT
ton took place in the barroom Of the es-
adjustment The proprietor agreed to
take two dozen, and when the farmer
came to count over the contents of his
basket, he found that he had Is eggs.
The proprietor wanted the extra egg
thrown in for good measure. The farmer
didn't see it that way and they argued
the matter. At last the proprietor said
he'd take the rs eggs, give the man q
drink and call it square. The farmer
agreed, and pocketed his money. Now,
what'll you have?" asked the proprietor.
The Yankee farmer was ready with his
reply. SHERRY and egg" said hear

This curious discovery was made on the
property of a certain Baron Aniello, who
took prominent part in the trial of the
notorious Varsalona two months ago for
murder, and offered large reward for
his capture.
When the daughters of the brigand
were confronted with the head, one de-
clared it was that of her father, but the
other denied it. The brigand's sweet
heart, however, recognized the head by
the filling in front tooth.
Great excitement prevails in Sicily as
the result of this strange occurrence.
The inhabitants in the neighborhood
are divided into two parties, one believ-
ing in the death of the famous bandit
and the other declaring the event to be
merely another trick to make the police
believe that he is dead in order that he
may continue to rob undisturbed.
