wood straight, at the back of the
house, and you will come to it."
Thank YOU" l replied; "but hoped
you would show me the way"
She looked puzzled.

A PerpIexinu Problem.

Once upon time a friend wander

a street-railroad company and found
that magnate engrossed in some ap-

kind of a problem are you working

votes to elect him, or let the other
fellows elect their man and then buy

A subject of worldwide interest has
been brought before the French Acad-
envy of Medicine. 1t is that of cycling
and automobilism in their influence on
eyesight, says London Globe. The
general conclusion is that both on the
external and on the internal structure
of the eye the effect is injurious. See
ing nothing with well-defined precision,
and having landscape presented to the
eye for days in succession in the con-
fused blur caused by high speed, is
declared to be harmful in proportion
to the frequency with which it is
practiced. The action of dust and
grit stirred up and intensified by high
speeds is declared to be prolific in

Come to my arms, my darling,
Come, for the nightfall is near;
Come, and thy mother shall send thee
To dreamland with never fear.
Come, and thy mother shall sing thee
A lullaby softly and low
Sing thee to rest and to dreamland
Ere darker the day doth grow.

Visions Of thee, strong in manhood,
Noble and gentle and wise
Her heart viii glow at the picture,
Thrilling with JOY and with pride,
Yet the tears sadly fall as she presses
Thee close, little one, to her side

The sturdy English race of former
times is becoming almost extinct, says
the Contemporary Review, and is be-
ing replaced by puny, stunted, sick
~, sterile, narrowchested, weak-boned,
short-sighted. and rotten-toothed race.
What Great Britain requires for the
salvation OF her agriculture is, in the
first place, the gradual creation of a
substantial peasant class, who work
with their own hands on freehold sgri
