Kipring in Laudatlon of Chamberlain.

Rudyard Kipling is sure of a peer age Ehen Joseph Chamberlain becomes prime minlster-if Mir. Chamberlain has any gratitude. MT. Kipling is easily the greatest living British poet. and he should be made poet laureate when Alfred Austin is called to sing Apstinian stanzas to the accompani- EsIshs of heavenly harp. Austin made 0 todd bid for first place in the affec- stDns of the jingoes when he glorlfed thS Jameson Raid in rocky meter, but the ~orld-wide laughter which ensued sent him into obscurity. Nobody lSuahs at Kipling. He peels the hide from his adversaries in a way to cause grief instead of merriment.r His in nWence with the reading public of Eng inhd is greater, perhaps, than that of ARF of the statesmen except Chamber lain. He voices as nobody else can the and it is evidence of his genius that he finds in Chamberlain's tariff scheme material for a notable poem.
 The cable gives us only these two verses, and it is to be regretted that we shall have to wait for the mails tO bring the entire productions:
 Oh. Ye, who hold the written clue
 To all save all unwritten things, And, half a league behind, pursue
 The accomplished fact with fiouts
 and filings.
 Look, to your knee your baby brings
 The oldest tale since earth began, The answer to your worryings:
 "Once on a time there was a man." A bolt is fallen from the blue
 Awakened realms, full circle swings Where Dotham's dreamer dreams anew
 Of vast and far born harvestings, And unto him an empire clings
 That grips the purpose of his plan. My Lords, how think you of these
 things?
 "Once-in our time-is there a man."
 MT. Kipling's sarcastic reference to the typical John Bull who in his con- SeTFatism half a league behind" pur- sues "the accomplished fact with flouts end filings" will be appreciated on this eide of the water, at any rate. But h requires courage as well as genius 10 name Mir. Chamberlain as the mo- oeTn incarnation of that other Joseph Who dreamed dreams and told his brethren about them, and even follow sd them to Gotham to recite the vis- ions anew, and was flung into a pit and afterward sold into Egypt for his pains. That Jacobs favorite son was a true dreamer Pharaoh had thankful reason to know, as did the wicked brethren, also. in time. Perhaps the modern Joseph's dream of, an Eng land closely united to her colonies un- der the imperial banner and enforcing e tariff against food stuffs imported from the United States will also come true, but there are more than eleven sconing brethren in England who are ready to bet it won't.
 But after all, Mir. Kipling's inspira- ton, when submitted to close analysis. must be conceded as bearing the hall mark of straight goods. For the Holy Writ which tells us of the other Joseph who followed his wicked brethren to Gotham to tell them of vast and far born harvestings" of which he had dreamed, wore a coat of many colors. And if any man in all England has worn a more changeable political coat than Joseph Chamberlain, Mir. Kipling ought to trot him out.

It doesn't benefit a man much if
he happens to he on the right road
but headed the wrong way.
While it is possible for a man to
achieve happiness, but few men are
fortunate enough to have it thrust up
on them.
An old batchelor says that the
most prolific source of women's wor-
ries is her inability to think of some.
thing to worry about.
It is easier to cure Kentucky col
onel of the elbow-crooking habit than
it is to cure man who gets into the
habit of thinking he is funny.
There are more ways of not getting
at what woman means than there
are hairs on mans head.
Common sense is an investment
that yields low per cent, but it sell
dom defaults on its interest.
A woman's idea of praoticing the
sermons her minister breaches is to
try to make her husband do it.

The Spelling Book.

The cornerstone of the education OF
the older generations of Americans
now living was the Old-time blue back
speller of Webster. Drilled and hicko-
ried through that inspired lexicon oi

spelled aud written the sure founda-
tion was laid in the minds of the pu.
pills for any breadth of after liberal
education.
Nowadays our children are shut of
from the tep-cent blue-back speller,
and forced by the faddistio educators
of the day to pay from 10 to 90 cents
for fancy pictured and phoneticized
language books that are q delight to the
artistic eye and daffy-dealing to the
children who are set to studying them.

seen would be good reference and guide

Honey I'm the Home.

Honey is q valuable medicine and
has many uses. It is excellent in
most lung and throat affections and is
otter used with great benefit in place
of cod liver oil. Occasionally therefs a
person with whom it does not agre but
most people can learn to use 1t with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer 1t to
