FUTURITY.

My youth to me was like lovely flower,
All flushed with crimson of its own de
light,
Its hamelike petals poised as if for
flight.
Ethereal child of changing sun and shower
Of misty dawn and night
My age to me is like a golden fruit
Whose quality and sweetness have been
won
From earth's rough use-from alternating
And rain and that dark soil wherein my
root
Inyisibly has run
Ny soul to me is like a ripening seed
Which holds the heart of all that went
before
The hamelike flower and golden fruit in
store,
Close-sealed, secure in larner love and
deed
To live and bloom once more

Grant us sight to see the road
Creep plainly, on our winding way.
Grant us strength to bear the load,
For this one day.
For this one day
Guide our feet the road along.
Let not our weary footsteps stray;
Give us to lift a staye of song,
For this one day.
For this one day
Let us not see the mud beneath.
But know the gold above the gray
And smell 1.-THE wind upon the heath"

When bowed at eve for benison,
Grant that upon the uphill way
Our passing smile has gladdened one,

The agreement of the international
naval conference in London on a code of
laws for the government of war opera
tions at sea is in line with expectation.
The revolution in the character of naval
fighting during the past forty years has
made imperative new rules i'll regard to
the treatment of property at sea during
armed hostilities between naval powers.
Commerce must proceed so that the
world may be properly clothed and fed
while belligerents are struggling for SUI
premacy, and it has been completely rev.
olutionized in character, size and speed
of freighters, and consequently in the
amount involved in every instance of
seizure, international agreement as to
the security of property at sea during
wars was vitality necessary. The tech
meal hitch as to the character of the
naval court in relation to American juris-
prudence under the Constitution of the
United States will not postpone complete
agreement, as the concession requested
from Washington will doubtless be
promptly granted by the members of the
conference.

The organization known 9s the Amer
lean Mining Congress is urgently advo-
eating the passage by the United States
Senate of the bill now before it creating
mining bureau whose chief purpose
will be to carry on Investigations of min
ing conditions for the purpose of safe
guarding as much as possible the lives of
thousands of men who toll for many
hours daily in the depths of coal and
other mines In May last the House of
Representatives passed the bill which
is now before the Senate by vote of
300 to 81, and the measure was prompt
ly approved by the committee of the
Senate to which it was referred, but the
Senate has for some reason delayed ac
ton. While the bill has been in the
hands of the Senate the platforms of the
national parties in the election Of last fall
pledged the establishment of the bureau
whose creation is advocated by miners
generally. The hoped-for passage of the
bill by the Senate would therefore be Il
redemption of party promises, and an
endorsement of an almost unanimous
vote in the House. From the standpoint
of recent tragedies in coal mines in the
east and west, the time is ripe for spe-
cial consideration of mining conditions
for the purpose of reducing the annual
death roll

Whenever any novel idea regarding
the psychology of crime is preached by
speculative physicians or metaphysicians
and exploited in the newspapers, it is
quickly taken up by shrewd fellows
looking out for their own advantage
more keenly than they look out for the
truth. There is hardly a jail in the
country which does not contain at least
one victim who insists that all wrong
doing is against his nature and that the
Offense for which he was committed was
perpetrated under hypnotic influence.
Not long ago a Cleveland dentist, talk
ing upon the importance of his vocation
attributed almost every evil physical or
mental condition to decayed teeth. The

house on the charge of assault and bat
terry says an operation on his teeth
has cured him of a continual desire TO
assault some one. He has applied for
q pardon says the dispatch, but the
parole officer has reported against such
action" The parole officer probably has

treaty recently signed by Secretary
Root and British Ambassador Bryce.
They call the instrument triumph %

the point aimed mt by the United States
was the acquisition of control of the
right of development for hydro-electric
purposes on the Canadian side of the
cataract. The Liberals see in the treaty
chance for Canadians to gain more
business, and are very glad that the
countries have come to terms There
is much difference between the point Of
view OF a party in opposition, like the
Conservatives and a party responsible
for the practical efficient leadership of
the government, such rs is the Canadian

PRINCE CARL OF SWEDEN,

PRINCE CARL OF SWEDEN,
brother of King Gustav V, and one of
the most popular members of the Swed-
ish royal family, was born in Stock
holm, February 81, 1861. He received
an excellent and liberal education, as he
fitted the son of the late King Oscar H.,
himself one of the most learned rulers
of his time. Prince Carl has been called
the handsomest prince in Europe, 612
feet in height, a dashing cavalry officer,
and a most democratic man in manner
and habits. In 1897 he married the
Princess Ingeborg Charlotte Frederick,
second daughter of the present King
of Denmark. The couple have two
daughters. the eldest now in her tenth
year. The name of the little princess
is Margaret and it is a fact of some
interest that she is the first Swedish
princess to bear that name since 1888.
when Queen Margaret resigned her
throne as union ruler of the three Scan
dinavian countries.
