A CONFESSION.

Do you remember. little wife,
How years ago we two together
Saw naught but love illumine life =
In sunny days or wintry weather?
Do you remember how we two
Would stare into each others eyes,
Till all the earth grew heavenly blue.
And speech was lost in happy signs
Do you another thing recall,
That used to happen often then,
How, simply passing in the hall,
We'd stop to smile and kiss again?
Do you remember how I sat
And, reading, held your hand in mine,
Caressing it with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed line?
Do you recall while at the play
Through hours of agony we tarpied?
The lovers griefs brought us dismay;
Oh. we rejoiced when they were mar
ried.
All, me. twas years and years ago
When all this happened that / sing,
And many a time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes of
spring.
And now-oh, nonsense! let us tell;
A fig for laugh of maids or men;
You'll hide your bushes? I'll not. Well
We're ten times worse than we were
then.

SHORT, ARE YOU? WELL
MIR. WILLIAMS GAN
MAKE YOU TALL.

The Bertillon system has received
sad blow In the demonstration Of the
fact that person may, to very great
extent, change his physical proportions.
Postal Inspector William Williams, at
tached to the Denver postoffice. has
taken 1t on himself to show how this
could be done, and some time ago he
subjected himself to an examination
and then started in on q systematic
scheme for the purpose Of bringing
about such changes in his general
shape and appearance as to make II
difficult to identify him by the meas
urements previously made by the Ber-
tillon system, which were thought to
be infallibie, says the Philadelphia
Record.
At the time of the first examination
Mr.. Williams weighed 100 pounds and
measured five feet two inches, and
after going through a somewhat pro-
longed course Of training he weighed
$50 pounds and measured five feet four
inches in height. The system of physi-
cal culture taken up by Mr.. Williams
in his experiment was that Of loosen
ing the bones In their sockets and al
lowing the space where they were
pulled apart at the joints to I'LL with
cartilage. BY this method the body is
heightened without overdevelopment of
the muscles, such as Is the case In
physical training adopted by athletes.
Then, in order to effectually prove his
ground that the Bertillon. system was
worthless, Williams submitted himself
to arrest in several different cities
where the system was made use of in
the Identification Of criminals, and in
no case was he recognized by the orig
inal record. The ability to increase the
height was the one thing which broke
down the certainty of the Bertillon sys-
tenn.
An apparatus to produce this in
creased height was recently awarded a
patent. In a few words, the subject is
placed on a. sort of a rack, with the
head and feet securely fastened, and by
the application of screw the subject
is literally stretched. BY undergoing
this operation at regular intervals 1t is
said to be possible to make even great
er additions to the height than Mr..
Williams succeeded in doing.

The married girls do domestic work in

until now has found it possible to earn

of her last baby, a few weeks ago,
brought on an attack of semi blindness
which has incapacitated her for any,
thing but taking care of her brood.
Barring her eye complaint, she is in
splendid health, and until now has
never experienced i'll effects of any

to the family in weekly sums, and

teen big boys living. Four children
have died, two girls and two boys.
Seven of the boys are in the army.

CONSPICUOUS TYPES
:. OF LOVE. :.
BY DOROTHY FENIMoRE.

And when I sit down to contemplate
loves relation with sin and death, the
following story fills my mind and col
ors my reflections:
One time. when the author Of "Se-
same and Lilies" and Queens Gar
dens" was walking in a London thor
ouehfare. q friend who was with him
exclaimed as he looked at the mud in
the street: What dirty, disgraceful,
disgusting stuff
sYet." said Ruskin In reply, this
mud is partly sand, which under suit
able conditions may form the opal.
And there is clay in 1t, too; and the
materials of clay, when the particles
are arranged according to their high
er laws, make the brilliant sapphire.
And there Is SCOT also in this mud,
and SCOT, in its crystallized perfec-
ton, forms the diamond. And the
last element, water, when distilled ac-
cording to the higher law Of nature,
forms the dewdrop resting In exquisite
perfection in the heart of the rose.
Just SO It is in lives where love ap-
pears to be q common thing. Unlovely
as It may look in Its environment and
put to its present use, still 1t may hold
In It the element OF beauty. And in
that very moment in which you appre-
ciate the pity Of the situation you real
ize what hope there is within 1t. For
love. as we know 1t between the sexes,
while It is indeed chemical affinity
based on physical attraction" is some
thing more. than such a definition OF it
indicates.
Grant Allen calls failing In love" an
inherited instinct with an upward ten
dency, which is shown by the fact that
beauty, strength and health are its mag
nets. Young people. he says. If left to
themselves would fall in love with their
natural compliments, with those who
are strong on points where they them
selves are weak, and vice versa.
The basis Of human love is neither
wholly physical, wholly Intellectual nor
wholly spiritual. 1t is combination OF
these three elements, and sometimes
one of them predominates, sometimes
another. Historically we have four
conspicuous types OF love-the over
whelming passion which marked the
love story Of Tristan and Isolde; the
purely platonic love, like that which
existed between Michael Angelo and
vittoria Colonna: the idealistic vision
of a Dante, and the well-balanced af-
lection of happy modern marriage.
Love has it's mortal and it's immortal
aspect, just as life has. And to our un-
derstanding neither one Of these is alb
solutely cut off from the. other. The
mortal puts on some degree Of immor-
tality, and Immortality carries with it
associations of the mortal.

HAVE been asked to discuss the
question, rs 1t possible for sin
and death to follow In the wake
of love?"
To-day I shall touch the matter
lightly, though I must confess that
regard the subject as worth consid-
ering, chiefly because it gives chance
to point out that its valre to us is q
negative one.
I believe that we should keep love
before our minds as the noblest in
spiration that the world holds. What
ever our sorrows on this earth may
be 1t is love that carries us through
them. The tendency Of love is to
uplift US, and not to drag US down.
We cannot live worthily without it;
it Isl an imperative. need of our ma
tures..
What is the beginning? Love. What
the course? Love still.
What the goal? The goal is Love on
the happy ,hill.
Is there nothing, then. but Love,
search we sky or earth?
There is nothing out Of Love hath
perpetual worth"
So says Christina Rossetti, and her
words ring true to me, after my sert-
Gus study of men and women, and
love and loving.

Nine or ten of the children were

and flags flying, and a disconsolate lit
tie chap stood on the curb, trying hard
to keep his tears back.

Senator of the little fellow on the curb.

says the rights of women must stand or
tall with those Of men .sThey are de.
rived from the same authority; involved
IN the same axiom; demonstrated by the
same argument. The law of equal free
dom applies alike to both sexes The
idea that the rights of women are not
equal to those Of men is not equal to
those OF men is akin to the eastern dogma
that women have no souls. Subordina-

from barbarism. AS the usages of man
kind vary SO much, let us hear how it is
that the sphere we assign women is the
true one, that the limits we have set to
female activity are just the proper limits.
Letus hear why, on this point Of our
social policy. we are exactly right, whilst
we are wrong on SO many others.
The desire to command is essentially
barbarous desire. Whether seen in the
