BARGAINS IN HEARTS.

Dan Cupid is a merchant bold,
Who deals in human hearts,
He has them all, both young and old,
Some whole and some In parts.
The damaged ones he keeps in stock
OF course, ! mean the males
And all the thrifty maidens flock
To Cupid's bargain sales.
But Cupid doesn't guarantee heart,
For lots of them are damaged by his
dart.
And that is why we all agree
That marriage Is a lottery;
For Cupid doesn't guarantee a heart.
Dan Cupid doesn't advertise
His bargain sale of hearts.
But every maiden there who buys
Most gleefuly departs
And II heart 10 broken when
She gets 1t home. you see,
She straightway takes 1t back again,
End wants a guarantee.
But Cupid doesn't guarantee heart
For lots OF them are damaged by his
dart
And that is why we all agree
That marriage IS a lottery;
For Cupid doesn't guarantee heart.

AARDvs IDEA FOR 4rsss."
Tragic Incident fingered Long In
Authors Memory.

A rather striking story of the origin
Of Hardy's Tess" has just been told
oy Neil Munro, author of John Splen-
sid," who is one of Mr. Hardy's inti-
mate friends. 1t seems that when
Hardy was a boy he used to go into
Dorchester to school, and he made the
acquaintance of woman there, who,
with her husband, kept an inn. She
was beautiful, good and kind, but mar
ried to dissipated scoundrel who was
unfaithful to her. One day she dis
covered her husband under circum-
that she stabbed him with a knife
and killed him. She was tried, con-
victed and condemned to execution.
Young Hardy with another boy, wit
messed the execution from tree that
overlooked the yard in which the gal
lows was placed. He never forgot the
rustic Of the thin black gown the
woman was wearing as she was led
forth by the warders. A penetrating
rain was falling; the white cap was
no sooner over the woman's head than
it clung to her features, and the moose
was put round the neck Of what
looked like a marble statue. Hardy
looked at the scene with a strange
| illusion Of it's being unreal, and was
brought to his complete senses when
the drop fell with thud and his com
panion on a lower branch of the tree
fell fainting to the ground. The
tragedy haunted Hardy, and at last
provided the emotional inspiration and
some of the matter for "Tess OF the
| DJJrberyilles"

Interesting experiments made in the
lancet laboratory show the great di-
gestibility of the oyster, says the New
York World. When the oyster was
crushed and placed in cold water
about half of the solid matter was
dissolved. When the oyster was
placed. uncrushed in the same medium
one-foulth of its solid matter was dis
solved. 1t is believed that if the oys-
ter be chewed more than half of 1t is
dissolved in the mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best
thing to drink with oysters. But cha
Bills is very good, dissolving SS per
cent of the solid matter of the oyster
What are the solids in the oyster?
They are the proteids corresponding
to the lean OF meat or the white Of
an egg, fat, starchy matters and gly-
cogen. This last means the substance
which the liver manufactures for fu-
ture use. 1t is very like sugar and
