THE UNPARALLELED IDEAL.

My only Love is always near. | In country or in town: l see her twinkling feet, hear
 The whisper of her gown She foots it ever fair and young.
 Her locks are tied in haste. And one is OCT her shoulder flung And hangs below her waist. She ran before me in the meads.
 And down this world track She leads me on: but while she leads She never gazes back. And yet her voice is in my dreams, To witch me more and more: That wooing voice, An, me, it seems Less near me than of yore. Lightly I sped when hope was high And youth beguiled the chase follow. follow still; but I
 Shall never see her face.

The final instrument in the orchestra Is a tallyho horn which has five notes ranging over six octaves. It sounds very much like a calliope. With all the instruments going at once it is said the noise is so terrible that it will frighten a freight train off the track
 In the forward part of the ton neau is a keyboard.
 On the keys. are such legends as "theater. stop" go east" go west" etc home" faster slower" and fifty more A complete electric system connects them with a similar keyboard near the chauffeur so that all Prince Orloff would have to do would be to touch a button and in form his chauffeur what to do next
 It is understood that there were also such directions on the keys as watch out for anarchists and keep close to police" but these keys were unscrewed when Mir. Mitchell acquired the car.
 Mitchell left last night for Los Angeles. He said that he would eventually bring the car with him on one of his trips to Phoenix, and might possibly try it out on the Phoenix fair ground track. While touring between Paris and Rheims, he tried to speed the car and beat out an express train at every stage Of the journey. There are no speed laws in France outside of the cities, and the car ran as high as 59 miles an hour over the better roads.
 While driving his regal car through Hyde Park. London. Nit cheU was informed that well known member of the British aris- tocracy inquired who he was and what title he bore. The young lord was told that that was Mitchell. Prince of Swansea and Duke of Bouse The young man looked pug zled and remarked that he didn't re- member the dukedom of Bouse in Burke's "Peerage' and that he would really have to look it up.

ELDERLY MEN MAINTAINING
 THEIR EFFICIENCY

That the community is becoming an older one through the growth in the relative number of married being ac- companied by material decline in the birth rate was one of the interesting observations of Sir J. A. Baines, presi- dent of the Royal Statistical society. in his inaugural address.
 Aspects of the questions arising out of this statement were discussed with interest both by statisticians and busi- ness men Undoubtedly" observed a member of the Royal Statistical so- ciety.. elderly people appear to main tain what one may call greater eff ciency than they did years ago. think this is largely due to the great growth in medical skill and also to the mact that people-particularly those in responsible positions-study their physical fitness far more than used to be the case. The man of 45 or 50 ap- pears today. by careful dieting. golf and healthy exercise generally. to keep himsen far more alert and youthful looking than his father or grand father at a similar age"
 My view said the middle-aged aiNoN pA o Pa NitN ihiis iS eidt men in the city preserve their effici- ency nowadays far longer than they used to do. I know old men, as you may call them, who still bear upon their shoulders the responsibilities of some big concern. Years ago they would have been sitting at home in their slippers at such an age"
 Elderly men study their appearance far more than they used to do," said the manager of a city bank They wear collars and ties and styles in dress which make them look smart and youthful. From my experience it cer- tainly seems that the elderly man is very loath to leave the scene of his activities nowadays I put it down to ours being an abstenious age. Direct ly man has small ailment he goes straight to his physician. What the medical man tells him to do he does exactly. His one desire is to keep fit and he manages to do SO"
 Another proffered explanation was: 'I think elderly men appear far more young looking than they used to do owing to the almost universal habit of shaving the face bare instead of wearing boards and side whiskers."- London Daily Mail.

 Homer dear looked at Smith-J Jones and Smith-Jones locked at Homer.
 'Are-Hre yuu going to have Ice cream?' fatertd Mfr. J., weakly.
 Indeed we are," said Mrs. Smith Jones. "Blossom and l are just starving for some and we've mixed 1t all up ready to be churBed ''

 There was nothing else to do-Homer aud smith Jones simply had to go. What they would have done eacL in his own home with only his own wife to deal with, Is a hypothesis. the conclusion of which readily suggests itself to the aver age married woman.
 So the football heroes got busy with the handle of the ice-cream freezer Now the only resemblance between football

This fact was speed fly discovered by Homer-dear and Smith-Jones Tn addition they found out that cold ice and rough salt. when picked up In the hands and packed down in a freezer that persists in webbing when the crank is turned is far different from football lying on the ground waiting to be picked up while the crowd cheers.
 Another striking point discovered by the twain Is that Tn football you bend over only occasionally, but In freezing ice-cream you simply cannot turn the crank with shoulders squared. Anger and testy dislike of one's occupation never won football game: and neither did they aid the grfdiron warriors In putting the finishing touches on the ic.rcream. In fact. they didn't come within twenty minutes of equaling the recorf, vf the Justweds' maid-of-sll- work
 But at last the task was accomplished. and Homer-dea and mith-Jones returned to the living room. where their wives were comfortably ensconed on the divan discussing various and sundry feminine matters.
 The two men hadn't been In football game-but they looked 1t.
 "Ah." exclaimed Mrs. J., ''is 1t finished alreadyf Fine. | guess. Homer-dcsr. football isn't such a dreadful thing after all"
 But Homer-dear was. apparently. too busy examining his limp. wet cuffs to reply.
 Really, Cyrus" remarked Mrs. Smith Jones to her husband. who was stlIl sucking the thumb he'd caught in the crank of the freezer. 'I'm beginning to agree with Blossom. This is the first evi- dence of your prowess vouchsafed me since I married you. Keep 1t upi Fine exercise! You can do it every Sunday, If you're careful not to get any salI in the icecream.''

In this case. if may be urged on behalf of Signor Bertolini that he inherited a disastrous charge from a long series of predecessors and was powerless to remedy the accumulated msmanagement of twenty years. It may be said. therefore. in this instance. that there is no one to blame for the money that has been lost-Rome cor respondence London Times.

(The following market report is fur
nished the Monitor every Tuesday
night by special arrangement with E.
E. Wilson Co., Blackstone ST.. Bos-
ton, commission merchant, and will be
found reliable. Ed
Boston. Mass, February 16.
BUTTER-The speculative buying is
not quite as good as it was one week
ago, at the same time there is fairly
steady tone to the market and prices
remain practically unchanged. Fancy
northern creamery can be quoted from
3Oc to 31c and western creamery. lin ash
is generally selling from 29c to 29ac.
Something extremely fancy might
exceed this price little. but most lots
coming here show slight defects so it
is impossible for us to get the extreme
top. Dairy butter is in fair demand
with tubs generally selling from &c to
CSC, boxes and prints from 29c to SOC.
EGGS-continue very firm, at the
same time the New York market has
been letting up little and there are
some signs of the southwest giving US
a few more eggs in the near future.
Taking these things together it gives
us a more conservative market, but
supplies here are very light and easily
influenced in either direction. To-day
fancy memories are selling from 35c
to 36c and some fancy easterns about
the same price. Vermont and New
York fresh should be quoted anywhere
from SAC to 35c, westerns are in light
supply and fairly firm round 33c to 34c.
Storage eggs are practically out of
the market, but a few scattering lots
are bringing from 29c to Soc.
POULTRY-is holding steady at fair
demand found for fine goods. Choice
turkeys can be quoted from Csc to 26c
and large soft meated chickens any
where from tic to Ice, large fowls are
generally selling at 15c with medium
sizes a little slow from 13c to 14c, ON
the whole a very good inquiry all
round.
NOTE-We look for a continued
quiet but steady tone on butter. 1t is
not easy to move goods promptly, at the
same time no important changes are
expected. Eggs are bound to be un-
settled and advise keeping we'll cleaned
