ton Of being the only woman in the
world who boosted of her ugliness.
The divorce courts of New York have
developed full-sized rival. On the
stand Mrs Martha Pierce exclaimed:
81 know am ugly--that is why lost
my husbands love!" This experience
is quite contrary to the dictum of the
great French sage, Balzac, who said:
"The ugly woman who has won the
love of man keeps it always" 1t
also was contrary to the dictum of the
now celebrated John Hcch, who as
serts that the homeliest woman may
be made lovely by the man who makes
up his mind to consider her so.

Rush of Modern Life.

A well-known artist thus comments
on the rush and hurry of our modern
life: Mans business requires haste.
The average business and professional
man eats in a hurry and gets dyspep-
STA. He walks in hurry and gets
apoplexy He talks in hurry and
gets the lie. He does business in a
hurry and becomes a bankrupt. He
reads in hurry, and is superficial.
He marries in hurry and gets di-
vorce. He trains his children in a
hurry. and develops spendthrifts and
criminals He gets religion in a hurry
and forgets it in great hurry. He
makes his will in hurry and leaves a
legal contest. He dies in hurry and
goes to the devil"

As to the depth to plant tree, it

future prosperity of the tree is pro

with which it is placed in the ground,
and the percentage that plant too
shallow is almost too insignificant to
be worth considering, for the SHINING

Look for the mark made by the
earth on the trunk of the tree when
it stood in the nursery. and going by

Compensation.

Better to mourn our dead
Than never to know how sweet
The lisping words of a child
Or the patter of little feet;
Better to mourn. gay,
Than never to know the care
OF the tender trusting souls
That God himself sent there
Better to mourn our dead
/ say it through scalding tears
Than not to know the charm
They trailed through our faltering
years,
For a heart from which love has fed
Is nearer the great unknown,
And perhaps is bound by golden thread
To the Masters plying throne.
Better to mourn our dead
o you who hear my voice,
pray you smile through your binding
tears,
And though sad is your heart rejsicei
For we who weep for our own Know well
But ahl at what bitter cost,
How dreary must be the hearts Of men 4
Who have never loved and lost
