1.-TWO little hands are sweetly
folded upon a silent breast,
The little heart within has num-
bered it's throbs and gone to,
rest;
The little eyes are closed forever
to earth's unholy sight;
Two little cherub wings now how
i er in heavens golden light.
Two little feet have ceased to
travel upon the shores OF time
A little gem released from trouble
has gone above to shine.
Oh what a comfort, dear Re-
deemer, Thy grace and love
hath given.
That when life's winter day is
ended we'll meet our child
in heaven.

Henry. Helen Louise was born
January 9th, 1912, and on Au-
gust 7th, 1918, she was called
home to God. Short was her life
but eternal will be her rest.
We know that the sweet little
one has gone to rest forever.
Her little heart will never be
contaminated with the sins of
this world. She has escaped all
the trials and cares, the heart
aches and miseries of this life,
and we ought to rejoice in the
thought that she is with Jesus.
When Jesus was on earth ne
blessed little children and said
they would be greatest in his
kingdom.
Darling baby, thou hast left US,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet you,
When the day of life has fled,
There in heaven with joy tt
greet you.

son OF John Bridges of ST. Nicholas
and Walmer, in Kent, and a kinsman
OF the Rev. Thomas Edward Bridges,
ID. D., who was from 1928 to 1843
president of Corpus. Christi college,
oxford At Elton, and later at Oxford,
Mr.. Bridges was noted for his schol-
arship, but he found time to distin-
guish himself In athletics. He was an
enthusiastic cricketer and oarsman.
In 1867 he was placed in the second
class in the Final School of Litterae
Humaniores. After leaving the uni
versity he'spent number Of years in
foreign travel, familiarizing himself,
to an extent unusual for an English
man, with life on the continent and in
the far east
On his return to London he became
student of medicine at St. Bartholo-
news hospital. receiving, in due
course, the degree of M. B. at Oxford.
He then began the practice of his pro-
fession, being regularly attached to
the staff OF st. Bartholomew hospital
and of the Children's hospital in Great
Ormonde street Retiring from prac-
tice in 1882, he married and left Lon
don. for his beautiful rural estate at
Yattendon, in Berkshire. Since that
time he has devoted himself exclu.
sively to literature, and particularly to
poetry.

good friend, Prof. Noah Cisco,

with a lengthy address to the

his usual optimistic vein, setting
forth the policies to be pursued
in the school.
Here's wishing you success,

R9GRT BRIDGES, ENeLAND'S POET LAUREATE

Mr.. Bridges admirers Is his devotion
to the most technical and abstruse
problems of versecraft. His book,
Millions Prosody," is, In the words OF
DR.. Herbert Warren in Robert Bridg-
es and Contemporary Poets" one of
the most minute and illuminating con
tributions ever made to the studygof
English metric generally, and especial
ly to that of Milton's blank verse. In
fiuenced largely by the work of the
late w. j. Stone of Radley college, he
has written large number of poems
in the classical meters, poems In
which the quantities. of the syllables.
rather than their accents, are the es-
sentials. OF this extremely difficult
sort Of writing, which can never be
thoroughly appreciated except by
those intimately familiar with Greek
and Latin poetry, a good example is
the Peace Ode" written in June,
1902, on the conclusion of the Boer
war 1t is unrimed and in Alcaics.
Interesting to students. of the sub
ject as are Mr.. Bridges experiments
in classical meters, 1t is on his work
done in the familiar English rhythms
that he must depend for popular es-
TEEN.
There can really be no difference of
opinion about DR.. Robert Bridges
place in English poetry. Among the
men poets of today he is unquestion-
ably one of the most entirely poetical.
His only rival in fine lyrical quality
Is Mr. w. b. Yeats, whose true work
in poetry is concentrated in some ten
or twelve poems, most of the copious
writing-plays and verse-which are
to be found in the fine edition of his
works that was published some years
back by Mr.. A. II. Bullen being of a
markedly inferior quality.
If the office of laureate is to be con-
fined to man, there can not be a
question but that Dr. Bridges has done
the most perfect lyrical work among
Them and that all his books will be
greatly enhanced in value by the ap.
pointment.
But the post of poet laureate, now
shorn of all its trappings of office, Its
need for odes on state occasions and
the like, which Dr. Bridges Is no more
likely to write than Mr. Yeats. should
obviously be given to the greatest man
Of letters, to the man who is not only
a fine poet and prose writer.

Bots Harmful to the Horse.

Contrary to the prevailing o.
pinion among farmers, the bot
which infests the stomach Of the
horse is often harmful to both
young and old animals, and may
be especially disastrous to colts.
The bot is the larval stage OF the
horse botAy, The botfy repro
duces by depositing light yellow,
oval eggs, which are attached by
the female to the hair of the
legs, breast and neck. The eggs
hatch; then the horse licks itself
and some of the small larvae are
taken by the mouth into the
stomach, where they attach
themselves firmly to the lining.
By their parasitic tendencies a
large number of bots covering
the lining of the stomach damage
the interior Of that organ, pre-
vent digestive action, and in
some cases cause the horse to re-
main in such a poor condition
that death may ensue. 1t is
probable that many cases Of poor
condition in horses thought to be
due to worms is really due to
heavy infestation with bots.
A very effective treatment
which will remove bots within
"a to 48 hours is as follows: The
! day preceding the treatment a
small amount of hay and a mod
crate amount of oats is given in
the morning; in the evening food
is withheld and a purgative CIV

raw linseed oil, l pint. The day
of the treatment, at 6 o'clock in

Sule: at 7 o'clock repeat the dose
in the same manner; and at s
O'Clock give the third and last
dose, making in all 9 drains Of
carbon bisulphid in three gelatin
capsules.

LORD NTCRENER'S new ELECTORAL SCHEME

nine, But the most interesting part
of the new reform is the novel meth.
cd OF electing members. The elec.
tors are to be divided into groups of
fifty, and each group will elect an
elector.delegate. The electors-dele.
gate, in turn, will be divided into
groups, each representing about 200,.
1000 inhabitants, and each such group
will elect one member to the Assem-
bly,. Every elector-delegate is bound
by law to keep in touch with his fifty
electors. This system, which gives
the humblest peasant an immediate
voice In an election, has, been de
scribed as one of the most effective
methods Of ascertainlng the wishes OF
nation ever invented, 1t also dis
tributes the electoral right more
evenly. Hitherto each town, village
or district had only one elector-dele
gate, irrespective of its population
and thus large town might have
had no greater rights In an election
than a small village.

Telephone Wire.

There are 100000 telephone sta.
tions in this country, and the amount
OF wire made use of will total at 12,.
100000 miles. Some idea of what this
total means may be grasped when we
calculate that this length of wire could
be wrapped around the earth 500 times
and that 1t would make fifty separate
lines from the earth to the moon, but
there would not be half enough wire
to reach from the earth to our nearest
planetary neighbor.
