We have seen Limburger cheese strong

Limburger is rose geranium when
compared with Roquefort. There Is as
much difference between them as there
Is between the pur of kitten and the

Is an open sepulcher and should be
quarantined or driven into the wilder

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER
I am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart weary of building and spelling.
And spelling and building again.
And I long for the dear old river.
Where dreamed my youth away.
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in q day.
I am sick Of the snowy seeming
OF a life that is half a lie,
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by;
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
would go where the children play.
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a thinker dies In a day.
can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet In the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
Oh. the little hands too skillful
And the child-mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown willful
And the fathers heart that bleeds!
No, no! From the streets rude hustle,
From trophies Of mart and stage.
would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as Of old by the river
And be loved for the dream Away.
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in day.

Inc Value of Laughter.

Inc Value of Laughter.
II find nonsense singularly refresh
ing" said Talleyrand. There is good
philosophy in the saying, Laugh and
grow fat" Laughter begins In the
lungs and diaphragm, setting the liver,
stomach and other internal organs into
a quick, jelly-like vibration which
gives a pleasant sensation and exercise
almost equal to horseback riding. The
heart beats faster, sends the blood
bounding through the body, increases
the respiration and gives warmth and
glow to the whole system. Laughter
brightens the eye, increases the perspi-
ration, expands the chest, forces the
poisoned air from the least used lung
cells and tends to restore that exqui-
site poise or balance which we call
health and which results from the har-
monious action Of all the functions of
the body. This delicate poise, which
may be destroyed by sleepless night,
a piece Of bad news, by grief or ankle
ty, is often wholly restored by good
hearty laugh. A jolly physician is often
better than all his pills.-O. s. Marden.

On Falling In Love.


Falling in love is the one Illogical
adventure, the one thing Of which we
are tempted to think as supernatural,
in our trite and reasonable world. The
effect is out Of all proportion to the
cause. Two persons. neither Of them.
it may be, very amiable or very beau
tiful, meet, speak little and look q
little into each others eyes. That has
been done a dozen or 80 of times In
the experience of either with no great
result. But on this occasion all is DIFF
ferent. They fall at once into that
state In which another person becomes
to us the very gist and center point Of
Gods creation and demolishes our la
borious theories with smile; In which
our ideas are so bound up with the one
master thought that even the trivial
caces of our own person become 50
many acts Of devotion, and the love Of
life itself Is translated into wish to
remain In the same world with so
precious and desirable fellow crea-
ture. And all the while their acquaint-
ances look on In stupor and ask each
other, with almost passionate empha-
sis, what So-and-so can see In that
woman or Such-an-one In that manf
