HOW LOVE MAY BE CURED.
A Mild malady, Like Measles OF

Henceforth the detrimental should
cease to be a terror to mothers and
chaperons. Henceforth should the
green-eyed monster lie quelled at the
lovesick be made whole, says the Lon
don Ladies Pictorial. For a means
has been discovered by which love can
be measured, reduced, cured and gen.
orally treated, like any other malady.
Unromantic as it may sound, unpoet-
ically as all Cupid's victims may con-
slider it and fatal though it may be to
the popularity OF the novel, the fact
must still be faced that science has re-
duced love to the level OF an ordinary
disease, the symptoms, progress and
effects of which can be studied like
those Of the measles or influenza.
The scientist has not spared the
heart in his researches; he has been no
respecter even of the grand passion
and in continental and transatlantic
laboratories he has been at work on
machines and schemes now perfected,
we are told, by means of which the
strength OF an affaire du occur can be
tested and the results studied But all
this would be Of little use II not turned
to some practical account and II will
therefore. as we say, ease the burden
OF mothers to learn that great Wen
nese, German, French and American
specialists are now agreed that the
most virulent cases of lovesickness are
durable.
If there is an undesirable lover in
the case he can be erased from his
victims mind rather more easily than
an attack OF tonsilitis could be cured.
II madame is grieving over an old
love AFFAIR, monsieur, her husband, has
only to call in the specialist, and the
malady will be at an end. II silly lads
are spelling their careers because OF
some heartless maid; If sillier maidens
are growing pale over men who do not
want their affections, they have only
to undergo a course OF hypnotic treat
ment and their reason and hearts will
be forthwith restored.
1t all sounds very simple and seems
TO suggest kind Of revolution OF ro-
nance, but somehow one seems to
fancy that there is more danger, after
all, In Cupid's arrows than the love-
measuring machine of the modern sci
enlist is equal to coping with. If II
has really come to pass that heart
breaks can be arranged to order like
cheap tours, then how, one may rea-
sonably ask. are the poor novelist, the

merit system in civil service can never
be accomplished, believe. until we
recognize the principal of a civil PEN
sion for superannuated government
employees. There is no other impor-

that principle.
In an inquiry reaching nearly 1000
corporations replies show that 20 have
adopted some plan for retiring and
providing for employees during old age.
Without single exception these cor
porations which have adopted such a
plan expressed the opinion, after hay
ing had an opportunity to note its eff

tice. As rule those American cor
poratlons which have adopted the old
age pensions system have treated the
matter In the light Of deferred wages,
the corporation bearing the entire ex-
pense Of the pension requirements.
IF l We're to attempt to summarize
the reasons why institutions in the
United States are beginning to adopt
old age pension schemes l would say
that they embrace such considerations
ms these: The pension attaches the
employee to the service and thus de
creases the liability to strike. 1t makes
more certain continuance Of efficient
men in the lines of work with which
they are perfectly familiar. or quits

The old Pumps Farewell.

Ay, root me up like some dead tree
Bereft of leaf and shade,
And in some corner let me be
Irreverently laid,
To waste my bones in rot and rust,
And let me, once who gave
Cool draughts to man and beast, In dust
Find an fnhonored grave.
1t was thy father set me here
A score of years ago,
And babe cool water, crystal clear,
In grateful streams to flow
In all my years no thirsty lout
For drink of me has cried
And from my overlooking spout
Has gone unsatished.
The children, rioting from school,
Have sought my dripping spout.
Whence sparkling water, clear and cool,
In torrents gushing out,
Brought thirst a comforting eclipse
With its refreshing draught,
And ahl the sweetness of their lips
Pressed to me as they quaffed.
Then, speeding onward to their play,
heard their merry cries,
And like the tears that drip away
In gladness from the eyes,
The cool drops flowed and trickled down
My iron cheek to see
How from far corners of the town
The thirsty came to me.
The dusty yokel, worn and tasked,
Tramped to me from the road
Gripped hands with me, and all unasked
The grateful waters flowed.
The cup held by its clanking chain
He lifted oft and drained
Its crystal waters once again,
And some new vigor gained.
And, ahl those patient beasts that
brought
Their noses to my tank.
When the red sun beat fercely hot,
And drank, and drank, and drank
With mighty draughts and deep until
My labors were nigh vain
To give them drink enough and fill
My water tub again.
Nor all my score of years till now
Have l once failed to cool
The thirsty lip and fevered brow
From that still ripping pool
Wherein my feet have stood. My cup
In ready hands and strong
Has dipped its crystal waters up
SO long, so long. so 'ong!
But now my joints are worn and old,
My spout is parched and dry;
My cups a-leak aud will not hold
My drink. howe'er l try.
So root me up like some old tree
Bereft of leaf and shade,
And In some corner let me be
Irreverently laid.
