UnfaiIing StimuIant.

Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for stimulant-the slim
ulant in use but requires the use Of
more. Men try to drown the floating
dead Of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpses will rise. We see
their faces in the bubbles. The in
t~oxication Of drink sets the world
whirling again. and the pulses playing
music, and the thoughts galloping, but
the fast clock runs down sooner, and
the unnatural stimulation only leaves
the house it fills with revelry-more
silent. more sad, more deserted, more
dead. There is only one stimulant
that never fails, and yet never intoxi-
cates-Duty. Duty puts a blue sky
over every man-up in his heart may
be-into which the skylark, happiness,
always goes singing.-George D. Pen
tice.

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST"

Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

: aver q prominent person dies, espe-
clally IL he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
yings are hoisted only part of the way
remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death Of q great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or ~conquering nation
above that OF the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When a IN army found itself hope
iessfy beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only Of
submission, but of respect.
In those days when q famous sol
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead mar was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag of the great
of all-the angel of death.

Diligent search is being made at
Florence, Italy, for the will of Robert
Browning, son of the famous poet,
but SO far it has not been found. The
fact that there apparently is no will
is causing considerable gossip, as

deal, both in Asolo and Florence,
will pass to his wife, who was Miss
Coddington of New York and from
