A LITTLE NONSENSE.
A FAVoRITE THEME.

Most Presidents were active gents:
'Tis well that they were such.
Log cabin tales and splitting rails
Have helped the writers much.
The writer quotes these anecdotes
And with them feeds his face
He takes a yarn that he may learn
And peddles 1t on space.
The big Bull Moose. when ne cut loose.
A deal Of copy made.
Such goodIy themes yield many reams
And help the writer's trade.
But not a tale has earned more kale
Than Georges cherry tree.
It's place is sure in literature,
As writer's all agree.

A Fervent Parting.

When Gen. Knox. who stood near
est approached him. he drew him to him
with a sudden impulse and kissed him,
and not a soldier among them all went
away without an embrace from this man
who was deemed cold and distant. After
the parting they followed him in silence
TO Whitehall Ferry. and saw him take
boat for his journey.
And then. standing before the Congress
at Annapolis to resign his commission.
he added the crowning touch of simplicity
to his just repute asa man beyond others

Lauah At Your Burden.

Most Of us are bending under the
burden Of some great load. II may be
care, It may be disappointment 1t may
be injustice. 1t may be physical pain
or spiritual encouragement. but II Is
heavy. Often II seems heavier than
we can bear. and we cry out and pro
test. These burdens are very real. but
really they are not half as big and
heavy as we make them, declares a
writer in the Universalist Leader. We
have had them upon our shoulders, en-
tirely out Of our sight. so long that
they have been magnifed by magma
ton or WEAKNESS or impotence until
they seem unbearable. Now. then,
whatever your burden may be. how
ever long you have been carrying II
and however proud you may have be-
come Of your self imposed martyrdom.
Just take your burden down and look
at 1t honestly. and you will be surpris.
ed how II has dwindled away while
you have been magnifying II in your
mind. Look at It frankly and fearless
ly and In nine cases out Of ten will
your tears be turned to laughter and
your signing into song.

Remanes Of Radium.

The story of radium Is one Of ma
lures masterpieces of satire. The al
chemists spent lifetimes in trying to
change base metals into gold when FOR
untold cons nature had already been
turning relatively common metal,
uranium. into radium. 10000 times as
costly as gold. The alchemist's wild
est dream was more than fulfilled. but
at the same time nature was endowing
the radium itself with the property of
-easeless change and. according to
some, decreeing that the transmutatior
should proceed until the radium be
came converted into lead. worth a few
pennies pound. II Is true that II
would take an ounce OF radium 1000
years to form half an ounce Of lead.
but this only makes the satire more
striking. for we first learned OF the ex-
istence of radium when of lead there
was enough and to spare.-Dr. w. s.

A Soon. In III. House Of Lords.

Once when the late Lord Richie was

Witch Burnino,

There are countries in which the exc
cution Of women as witches is only a
thing of yesterday. The last instance
of witch burning occurred as recently
as 1888 in Peru, and in other parts Of
South America cases continued to &C.
cur until well into the second half Of
the nineteenth century. England's own
last conviction for witchcraft took
place at Hartford in 1712, and Scot
land condemned a witch ten years
later, while Spain and Germany re-
tanned a judicial belief in witches and
the Justice Of killing them until 1882
and 1895.
