Pensions for Widows.

In stating that the Australian
State OF Queensland In 1879 began Il
system OF substituting widows in the
care OF their children, Consular Agent
Asbury Caldwell. OF Brisbane, writes
of it's further development.
The idea has steadily grown. and
II has been found wiser for the state
to pension the mother for the care or
her children than TO condemn her to
such employment which would cause
her to neglect the children. The FOL
lowing new scale of weekly allowances
was authorized by the recent parlia-
ment, to take effect May |. 1908: For
one child. $l.22: two children, $1.lO
each three children, 81 cents each;
four children. 81 cents each; more
than four children, maximum OF
$43S."

Loves Language.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

How speak?
n flush upon the telltale cheek,
the pallor that succeeds by
The Quiverng lid OF averted eye
The smile that the parent a sigh
Thus doth Love speak
How does Love speak?
By hearthrobs and the freak
bounding pulses that stand still ache
While emotions. like strange barges, make
Along vein channels their disturbing
Still as the dawn, and with the dawns swift force
Thus doth Love speak
does Love speak?
In the avoidance of that which Re seek
The sudden silence and when
The eye that gisens with an unshed tear
rhe 10y that seems the counterpart OF fear,
Az the alarmed heart leaps in the breast
And knows and names. and grees its godke guest
Thus doth Love speak.
does Love speak?
In the proud spirit suddenly grown meek
The naughty heart humble. in the tender
And unnamed light that floods the world with splendor
I'm the resemblance which the fond eyes
In things to one beloved face:
I'm the sky touch Of hands thrill tremble
In looks and lips that dIssemble
Thus doth Love speak
In the wild that, uttered. weak
they shrink ashamed to silence; in the fire
strikes with glance swift flashing high and higher
Like lightnings that precede the mighty storm
I'm the deep soulful Stiffness: In the warm.
Impassoned tide that sweeps through throbbng veins
I'm the where madness melts In bliss
And In convulsive rapture of kiss.
Thus doth Love speak.

Citric Acid and Water

DR.. Riegel OF the Austrian army

number OF experiments with citric
acid to determine It's value as a ster-
ilizer Of water. The experiments
were made with typhus, diarrhoea
and cholera bacilli. A solution OF
O.6 per cent citric acid was placed
in shallow vessels. The cholera
germs were killed in | 5 minutes; the
u!arrhoea baclli were killed in to
hours and the typhus IN "a hours.
When the vessels were paced in the
suns rays, the action was much
quicker: the cholera germs were kill
