Both lists are of much interest, and.
read in connection with the work done
by the New York Legislature, they re-
veal the marked tendency of the time In
legislation. The legislation concerning
eonvicts in both Ohio and California Is
to be noted particularly as indicating
new spirit in dealing with the dlincuit
question of crime. California's new laws
concerning the social evil and marriage
are also of vital interest. The new Ohio
constitution has made possible. of course,
the more radical legislation of that state.
1t remains to be said that the Legisla-
ture and the governor of California are
strongly attached to the Progressive
party. The OHIO Legislature and gov
ernor are quite as strongly attached to
the Democratic party.

The End Of the World.

The sunset doubling sank to death;
The amaranthine stars lost faith.
And heaven withered like a scroll:
The moving waters ceased to roll
The flood and torrent fount Were dried
BY its own hand of hate was slain;
The hills were toppled to the plain;
The winds We're scattered, and the air
Clothed on with shadow and despair.
Then 10, the Last Man in the dark
kissing the Last Maid, woke the lark;
The bird flew up with morning cries,
And as of old, Dawn climbed the skies,

If the stories told by Maine woods

many queer visitors in camp during
the winter, says the Bangor News.
Among the most familiar guests may
be mentioned the chickadees and blue
jays. but these are by no means the
most interesting callers One woods
man, 1t appears, leaving camp on a Sat
urday afternoon, left his shack door
open, as was his custom, so that the
hedgehoSs might come i'll md clean ap
the floor. Inasmuch as the principal
items of the camp menu are baked
beans, pork and other dishes rich in
fats, considerable grease is spilled no
ca the floor in the course of a week.
and the average hedgehog will at any
time risk his neck for a bit of fat Just
as soon, therefore, as this particular
camp was deserted by the humans for
while the spiny gluttons would hast
en- in and plane off the surface Of the
floor With their chise shaped teeth

trace Of grease. So. on return to camp
