HEIGHT OF POETIC vIGoR
Oscar Wllde's Beautiful Thoughts
While Prisoner on the Verge Of
Freedom.

OF course to one 60 modern as l
am, enfant de mon steele, merely to
look at the world will be always love-
ly. tremble with pleasure when
think that on the very day of my
leaving prison both the laburnum and
the lilac will be blooming in the gar
dens, and that l shall see the wind
stir into restless beauty the swaying
gold of the one and make the other
toss the pale purple of its plumes so
that all the air shall be Arabia for
me. Linnaeus fell on his knees and
wept for Joy when he saw for the
first time the long heath of some
English upland made yellow with the
tawny aromatic blossoms of the COM
mon furze, and | know that for me,
to whom flowers are part of desire,
there are tears waiting in the petal
of some rose. 1t has always been 80
with me from my boyhood. There is
not a single color hidden away in the
chalice of flower, or the curve of
a shell, to which, by some subtle sym
pathy with the very soul of things,
my nature does not answer.
All trials are trials for ones life,
just as all sentences are sentences of
death; and three times have l been
tried. The first time | left the box to
be arrested, the second time to be led
back to the house of detention, the
third time to pass into prison for
two years. Society, as we have con-
stituted 1t, will have no place for me,
has none to offer; but nature, whose
sweet rains fall on the unjust and just
alike, will have clefts in the rocks
where may hide, and secret valleys
in whose silence l may weep undis-
turbed. She will hang the night with
stars so that l may walk abroad in
the darkness without stumbling, and
send the wind over my footprints Sc
that none may track me to my hut;
she will cleanse me in great waters,
and with bitter herbs make re
whole.-Oscar Wilde's de ProfGn-

WOULD ABOLISH PUBLIC zoo
Restlessness or Sullcn Melancholy OF
Wild Animals Gagged Has Gloomy
ImpressiVeness.

The chatting restlessness or sullen
melancholy of wild animals Gagged, has
a gloomy impressiveness which works
powerfully on the sympathy of sensi-
tive persons. A rich New York
woman, Mrs. George w. Fackler,
wants to abolish all the ZOOS in the
country. The sentiment which
prompts her commands admiration
without conviction. Something must
be conceded to science, to amusement
to popular curiosity, which are all
concerned in exhibitions Of the deni-
zens of jungle and forest. Then, Is
Mrs. Fackler sure she would really
benefit TIE animal creation by her
plan? Free wild beasts suffer worse
fate than imprisoned ones. The war
of tribe against tribe, furred, feathered
or fnny, is an endless and frightful
on1ict with no quarter given. All
hunters can tell shocking stories OF
animals mutilated By each other, or
injured by accident, and condemned
to drag out lingering agony more
dreadful than death. We read OF
skilled medical attendance for ele-
plants, lions and bears In ZOOS. But
the only hope Of wounded or sick
animal in the woods is merciful bull
lot from some chance sportsman.

Digging Kauri Gum.

Kauri gum, found underground in
New Zealand, and dug to the amount
of a million and half yearly is used
chiefly for furniture polishes and var
nishes, and most Of 1t Is exported to
America. The industry Of digging 1t
is unlike any other in the world. A
kauri forest is a beautiful sight, but
kauri gum country is treeless, bar
rem and desolate, even, and swampy
very often, with singularly heavy,
cloggy soil. out of which the gum
formed on kauri pines of ancient and
iong-vanished forests Is dug or spear
ed. There are whole stretches OF this
treeless kauri country, with nothing
but a little scrub fern growing on 1t.
It is very rough for riding about Cthe
gumfields are too extensive to be
seen except riding) and native
horse should be ridden accustomed to
going without putting its foot down
any of the numerous holes Some Of
the gum diggers-about 5000 in all
are Maoris, pleasant, friendly natives;
some are British, and a certain num-
Der are Dalmatians.

GO IN FOR WHOLESOME FUN
Recreation a Necessity, But Beware
of the Wrong Sort of
Pleasures.

Those who try to do without recrea-
ton pay the penalty in arrested devel-
opment, says Orison SWEET Marden,
in Success Magazine. They dry up.
Their lives become juiceless and I'M
interesting They do not get rid Of
the brain ash from one day to an
other, and the monotony of using the
same faculties great many hours
each day without change or diversion
will soon so deteriorate the mind that
it will lose its elasticity, its power to
rebound, and the brain will operate
i'm a perfunctory manner, instead Of
with strong, vigorous action and will
produce nothing original or great.
A multitude Of people, however,
lose the very good they are seeking
in their recreation by indulging in
pleasures which demoralize, weaken,
and which, instead of making them
fresher and stronger for their next
days work, leave a demoralizing re-
action and exhaust their vitality.
Their good time" does not accom-

cannot discriminate between innocent
amusement, which sends a healthful
glow all through the whole nature, re-
builds, rejuvenates, refreshens. re-
stores all the life forces to their nor
NAL condition, and the pleasures
which exhaust the vitality, deplete the
life forces. Those people confuse fun
with dissipation. Anything which les

ASHAMED to mention to your mother
or sister, which makes you think a
little less of yourself, is dissipation

DO NOT BURN TIE LEAVES
They Are Natures Own Fertilizer and
AZ Such Should Be Turned Over
to the Soil.

Fools burn leaves, leaving for them
selves pinch Of poor ash, but send
ing back into the air what was taken
from it by the process of growth, says
the Outing Magazine. These thousands
of tons are not made out of the earth,
but out of the air and are intended to
be turned over into soil. If you plant
tree in a tub Of dirt and leave it
there until 1t weighs one hundred
pounds, you will find, by weighing the
dirt, that the tree was not made up of
what was in the tub, but almost alto
gether of what it could get from the
air-carbon and nitrogen for the most
part, with hydrogen composing good
share of the liquid part of sap.
The elements of the soil that are
not In the air are deep down under the
surface of the soil, or incorporated In
the rocks. The most important are
potash from ashes, weed waste, soap
suds, and there are few soils that
in their natural state are entirely de-
ficient in this element. The timber
soils of our corn belt contain about
two thousand pounds of phosphorus
per acre. Raising crops that use up
these elements steadily lessons the
possibility of growing any crops at all
We have got to find them in the soil,
if we use them up, we have got to re-
place them.
Agriculture should be renamed aeri-
culture, because we are really taking
from the air the larger part of our an
nual crops. What we must know is
how to do this most readily. Our
fathers knew that they must use ma
nure and they knew that they must ro-
tate crops. They knew, also, that liv-
ing plants fed on decaying plants,
this having first served as food for
animals.

Nursss Not Medical Men.

Nurses are not medical men," On
the contrary, the nurses are there, and
solely there, to carry out the orders
of the medical and surgical staff, in
Guiding, of course. the whole practise
of cleanliness, fresh air, diet, etc. The
whole organization Of discipline to
which the nurses must be subjected
is for the sole purpose of enabling the
nurses to carry out, lntelligently and
faithfully, such orders and such duties
as constitute the whole practise Of
nursing They are in no sense medi'
cal men. Their duties can never clash
with the medical duties. Their whole
training is to enable them to under
stand how best to carry out medical
and surgical orders, including (as
above) the whole art Of cleanliness
ventilation, food etc, and the reason
why this is to be done this way and
not that way.-"A Forgotten Letter"
