"Canute's page?' it repeated after

1t was young voice, and deep and

MISUNDERSTANDING,

II love is to flourish between two
people, they must each be slow to take
offense, and not only willing, but glad
to pardon at the first and faintest
sign of penitence; still more to over
look entirely the sin which has made
a blunder and an accident. Life and
love are in great part the art OF bear
Ing with other peoples shortcomings
Every offender. whatever the Of
fense, is in the eyes Of the law entitled
to a fair trial, and no one should be
condemned unheard. The exercise OF
a modicum of common sense and jus
tice would nip most quarrels. whether
between lovers or others, in the bud.
Someone has wisely said that scarce
ly a novel was ever written which
could have run to the end If the hero
and heroine had been fully frank with
one another. Most dissensions are
founded upon misunderstanGinCs.
Much may be forgiven to those whn
love much by those who return suca
affection. Nor is it sufficient to for.
give without forgetting the offSnse.
The slate should be wiped cleat laEd

ABOUT THE "oLD PATRAAcks."
Good Minister Who Got Somewhat

The frantic horse plunged into one Of
the arching lanes. and the din Of the

a curtain at their heels: even the thud-

leafy ground. Randaln lay along the
horses neck now. and her senses had
begun to slip away from her like the

there was the soft thud of falling

day Japan-a hand coming out of a
scarlet-lined sleeve-you will easily
find a jeweled ring or rings on her
fingers. Jewels We had none before,
but we prize them just the same, says
Sakor Shiago, in London Times. AS
to the wearing of rings, even gentle
men are often seen with thick gold
ring made out of an old Japanese
coin called "koban" The study of
the introduction of a new custom is
interesting. In the case of "snow-
white pillows" they were first used
in hospitals, where we adopted every
thing from the west as it was. We
did not have sheets for our beds
along with. that, but cleanliness recon-
mended itself to the japanese, and the
custom was readily followed by those
! who took fancy to it. AS to kissing,
it is rather delicate to touch on, but
it cannot be dismissed with a general
statement that ''in affection and love
the Japanese are ortwardly undemon-
strative." All depends upon circum-
stances. Generally speaking, we shun
the eyes of the public to be demon
strative, or to seek the occasion when
all can join with us. kissing as prac-
ticed in the west is still strange to us,
but no one who knows about it would
wonder If young couple of modern
Japan should take to it to express
their love.

NOTHING TO READ.

You have nothing to read?
Is that what you say?
Then put all your books,
Put your papers away.
And go for a stroll
Out under the skies,
Where the fields ripple green
And the cloud shadow flies.
Go list to the singing
Of birds on the wing,
The laughter-like gurgle
That comes from the spring:
60 stand where the grasses
Rise green to your knees,
And the trees whisper back
In soft tones to the breeze.
Go walk when the vault
OF the heavens at night
Is purple and dark,
And a star is alight
Here and there, like the CLEAN
OF lighthouse that shows
A souls way to port
With the CLEAN that it throws.
You have nothing to read?
Put your books by a spell,
And go for walk
Where in mountain and dell
Are tales for your reading
And pictures to fit.
And the breeze sings song
That the Master hath writ.
