HUMAN LOVE.
The One Joyous Impulse That Rules
the Whole Wide World.

the whole Wide World.
There lives somewhere in the depths
of every human heart the divine spark
that we call love. 1t is the voice of the
universe slumbering in its narrow cell
to be awakened by a whisper or to cry
out in dear desire and hear the echo
ing answer from another soul. With
out it life would be pale, relentless
episode. Without its quickening force
no temples would be reared by human
hands, yet novels wherein it dwells be-
come more glorious than palaces. Am
bition, fame and fortune are its slaves.
1t chains the mind in sweet imprison-
ment, makes credulity guardian queen
and lulls suspicion to repose.
No censorship of right or wrong can
/ light the way of love. 1t walks in
pathways all its own. 1t laughs at
reason and dispels despair 1t is the
lisping word of children, the puzzle of
philosophers, the talisman of rulers. 1t
is the first and last of life-murmured
at the cradle, cherished at the grave.
1t is the rainbow after tears, the cure
for every sorrow, the one joyous i'm
pulse that rules the whole wide world.

Whenever anything or anybody dis

the manner of prima donnas in gener-

about five times the highest tempera-

the surface of the sun is reckoned as
being $500 times more intense than

The First Test of Raby's Mind.

Just as the germ of the flower is
contained in the tiniest seed and will

as will rootIets and leaves when prop
err conditions of heat. moisture and
light are accorded, so the germ of the
mind of child is present in his little
body and will develop and unfold it.
self with the growth of the latter.
The only way to stop the growth Of
child's mind is to stop his body from
growing. Appetite is the mother Of
the mind, and muscle is it's father.
At it's lowest estimate the body with
its brain is the tool of the mind, and
good work cannot be done without
good tools.
The first test of muscular vigor, the
hand grasp, is an indication Of the
mental possibilities as well. Not one
child out of hundred who at ten days
Of age grasps firmly and clings to a
finger or pencil rubbed against his
pink little palm will ever fall below

leaves and chrysanthemums, into half

had one wonderful arrangement which,
being patriotic, was more often repeat
ed than the rest. The blankets of the
steamship company had at top and bot
