DEATH CT MRS. BERRY WILSON.

There is no sadder period in any mans
life than when he stands by the bedside
of beloved wife and sees hcr life slowly
ebbing away This was rhc sad condition
of Mr. Berry Wilson on Sunday, the 3rd
of April 1910, when he witnessed his be-
loved companion in the cold and icy en-
brace Of death which no human hand could
stay. The following lines 50 beautiful,
of Bryant, written on the death of his
wife are very suggestive to the bereaved
husband in his irreparable loss:
"Thc morn hath not the glory that it wore,
Nor doth tie day SO beautifully die,
Since can call thee to my side no more,
To gaze upon the sky.
''For thy dear hand with each return of
spring,
l sought in sunny nooks the flowers she
gave;
l seek them still, and sorrowfuily bring
The choicest to thy grave"

Antiquity Of Gold Leaf.

The origin of the gold leaf, like
the first use Of gold itself, is lost in
the mists Of antiquity. It is found,
for example, in connection with the
most ancient known mummies, hav-
ing been used for covering teeth,
tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes it is
also found on the cofins. Gold leaf
was also used on the tombs and
monuments Of ancient Egypt. The
process Of making gold leaf has
thus been known since the eighth
century B. G. In the eleventh
century it seems to have attained
as high a degree Of perfection as
today. The gold leaf on some an
cient Grecian pottery indeed is as
thin as that now used.-Magazine

A South Arabian Food Plant.

Jowari, tell, slender plant re-
sembling corn and headed with a
grain something like millet, is the
Abdali's chief crop. He feeds the
stalks to his camels and eats the
grain himself. Three crops a year
are produced. JoWari requires lit
tie cultivation except wedding,
which the Abdali does by hand, and
when ripe he cuts it off close to the
ground with his hunting knife.
New shoots spring up from the
roots to become the next crop. For
camel load of about 125 pounds
he receives at Alden an average of
. rupees, or $64.88. A fair yearly
yield is twenty camel loads an acre.

A Love Story.

A teacher offered to her class a

Here is one of the results: GA poor
man fell in love with lady whose
mother was a rich toy dealer. The
poor man could not marry the rich
lady because he had no money. A
villain then offered him G10 if he
would become drunkard. The
poor man needed the money to
get married with, SO he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said, No, I will not become a
drunkard, even for great riches.
On the way home he found bag of
gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was splendid wedding.
