Have you never felt the mnrveloEs power of beauty in nature: If not you have missed one of the most exquisite joys in life. says Oris0o Swetl Marden in Success Magazine l was once ec- ing through the Yosemite valley. and after riding 100 miles in stagecoacb over rough mountain roads l was so completely exhausted that it did not seem as though could keep my seat while we travelled over the ten more miles which would bring us 10 our des tination. But on looking down from the top of the mountain ! caught a glimpse of the celebrated Yosemite falls and the surrounding scenery just as the sun broke through the clouds and there was revealed a picture of such rare beauty and marvellous pic turesqueness that every particle of fa tigue. brain flag and muscle weariness departed in an instant My whole sou thrilled with a winged sense of sub Unity. grandeur and beauty which had never experienced before and which ! can never forget felt a spiritual uplift which brought tesrS of joy 10 my eyes.

The Talmud.

The Talmud is the compendium of an cient Jewish oral. or unwritten. law. as distinguished from the Pentateuch. or written. law. Its origin is coeval with the return of the Jewish people from. the Babylonian captivity. 536 B c. Its compilation in Hebrew was be gun by the scribes. and by their sue- cessors the work was carried on till 220 B. c. The Talmud is a combina- tion of prose and poetry and contains two elements. legal and legendary. Its morality resembles that of the New Testament. and its philosophy reminds us very forcibly of that of the great P.ato.-New York American.

 At the door of his rooms he paused long while. pondering over Edith's assurance of her love for him. At last he flung his head up and drew sharp breath. What q donkey I amF' he muftered angrily. "Of course she wants a good time, and I'm selfish beast to expect her to make the sacri. fee. I'll just clear out with Ellis. and the air of the north will drive the cob webs from my brain and make me sec things straight"
 On Thursday he set forth with Dick Ellis bound for the Canadian woods. As they left Boston behind in mist of smoke Roderick thought, with a sharp pang, that spring would have rolled around before he saw it again. And Edith-for she would return at Easter before going abroad with her aunt-would she have forgotten him would she learn 10 care for another? Dick Ellis broke in on his reverie with some commonplace. and thereafter the talk was all about game and fishing and Roderick's pictures.

 might develop into the great picture.

 about pushing his work forward. Edith's attitude had somehow set the machinery of his life cut of adjust ment. He told himself that only she could make matters right again Every
