country by printing Mr.. David Graham

Richard Maury has written a graphic
account Of the siege Of Sevastopol,

ton of the battle of Liao-yang, last
August, by Japanese officer who was
in the thick of the fight. No report
received from the seat Of war has been
so stirring as this, with it's realistic
picture Of the horrors Of war described
in a manner entirely novel to American

The Woman of Pojse

There is no sight on earth more gen.
timely satisfying than woman DOS
sessed of perfect poise. Whether her
face be plain or comedy, her garb rich
OF simple, she is thing of beauty, and
merely to look upon her is Joy.
From her quiet center of control she
radiates power and healing for the
nerve weary. They who come in daily
contact with her call her blessed.
The woman of poise does not "strain
every nerve" nor hold her muscles
tense as steel while she works.
The woman of poise does not think
worriedly Of hundred things while
she is trying to do one thing we'll.
She does not scatter her force nor
waste her precious mental substance
in wondering and worrying about other
peoples business.
She does not rush pell-mell along the
streets, with jerking hips and shoul-
ders. nor does she Jump on cars and
tumble off.
She knows that impotence, in all it's
various manifestations of rigid mus
cles, restless feet, drumming fingers,
straining neck or frowning brow can
not by any trick of magic check the
fight of time nor hasten the comple.
ton Of her tasks and her aims.
She has command Of the reins and
she drives these aims to their goal, She
does not let them run away with her,
jerking her this way and that, over
rough places and strange roads to ulti.
mate wreck.
She commands. She is centered-safe
sure Of her goal because she knows
that concentrated power wins.
A phlegmatic temperament, you say?
Not at all. She may have an ardent
fire Of purpose, she may be urged on
by dozen compelling ambitions, but
she knows how to control and direct
her wishes.-Angela Morgan.

1t is refelredao in a little book pub

mails" where the cruelty of killing the
tiny j is is de- recated
ii was this View of the custom
which induced Mr.. Richard Dowden,
N.,o was mayor OF Cork in the year
1919. to insert in an official procama
ii n. an order fcrbidding "thc old pop
ular ceremony long prevalent in Ire
land. of hunting and killing Il wren on
St Stephens day"
rrof. Il. w. Joyce. Nj. Il. L. ~. of
Dublin. in the second volume of his
admirable work on the origin and his
tory of Irish Names" says that in old
times the wren was regarded as Il
.reat prophet: for by listening atten-
lively to its chirping, those who We're
skilled in the language of birds, were
enabled to predict future events.
Hence, the writer of an old Life of
st. Moling" translates dream, which is
an Irish name for the bird by ''magis
avium" the druid of BIRDS" implying
that dream was derived from drui-en
(dru. Il druid, en-, of birds) and says
: it was so called on account of the eX-
cellency of its augury. In the Irish
language the wren is called dreolan
pronounced drolauD or dreolin pro.
nounced droleen).
Looking at the wren ornithologically,
the Irish species is the "Trogbodytes
! curopaeus' of Cuvicr, and the Mota-
ella of Linneus. He is not exactly
identical with, but is first cousin to our
American house-wren, the "Troglo,
dytes aedon" and to our American
winter-wren, the "T. hiemalis" frog.

nest of the species. All of these little
birds sing vehemently and cheerily at
times. Not being druid, do not un,
derstand what they mean to say.
confess myself unable to solve the
problem why st. Stephens day should
have been specially devoted in Chris
tian Ireland to hunting the wren. II
the Druidical theory be adopted, tho
destruction of bird beloved by the
druids, associated with divinatiOn and
pagan rites may have seemed appro
pirate ut the time Of Christmas, as as
scrting the abandonment of hea thel
worship, and the acceptance of Chris
| tianity.
Or, if the Danish encounter or that
between King James and King Will
liam forces occurred on the day aftel
Christmas, the date would be explic
able. 1t would explain how the un
fortunate wrens were Caught in the

Age to Which Man Should Live.

There has been very little, if any,
change in the duration of mans life
since the days Of the patriarchs, that
is, some four or five thousand years
ago Every one did not attain to great
age in those days any more than they
do today, for various reasons stated in
the Bible, and as that is the place
where we have to go for early rec
ords. I will begin with quotation
from it, Genesis vi, 8: "And the Lord
said, My Spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh; vet
his days shall be an hundred and
twenty years."
Abraham lived to be 175 years old
(hut his two younger brothers appear
to have died before HIM. Abraham's
wife, Sarah, lived to be 1877 years old
Isaac lived to be $50: Jacob lived to be
147; Ishmael lived to be 1877; Joseph
lived to be 40; Kohatt lived to be 1873;
his son, Amram, lived to be 1877; his
son. Moses. lived to be 100; Aaron was
three years older than his brother. and
died some years before him; Joshua
lived to be 40.
The number of persons reported in
1900 as centenarians and over was:
England. 40: Ireland, 57S; Scotland,
46; Sweden, 10: Norway, %: Belgium.
5: Denmark, 2; Switzerland. none:
Spain .401: Servia. 575: France 213.
This is not by any means a complete
list, but 1t helps to prove that we
should live to be 100 years or over. and
that we do not do so was not the plan
or intention Of the Almighty.

recent Sunday. In his sermon DIR.

included Il hope for the oil kings re-
pentance.
DR. Duffy's subject was "John d.

marks were confessedly inspired by the
recent utterances Of a Baptist minister
in the East, who held out no hope for
Mr.. Rockefeller. He said:

 Iachance is a giant and Parent is a, midget. That blood is thicker than watr is shown in the close bonds of friendship that hold them together, for both are French Canadians and both can speak French so rapidly that none but real Trenchmen could follow them. When in great trouble or when they don't want the others to understand the two will begin to talk French. Many, many times at Huntington ave nue Lachance, will yell something in French at Parent, and the little fellow who makes Stanford, Me, his winter home, will reply ii the same language.

 Keep the horse stable cleaned out. The fumes rising from the accumulated manure are injurious to the health of the horse.
 The tinkle of the sheep bell is music to the farmers ear. It makes him think of the jingle of the good, bright silver dollars coming by and by.
 A bull is always safer when he is ac- customed to things going on around him every day; therefore be sure that the cable andrchainsor ropes are practically unbreakable.
