Deep craven in the grateful heart
Till memory be dead:

When lighter passions long have

So holy it's and true
To one whose love hath longer

More deeply fixed. more keenly felt,
Than any pledged by you.

tsDo the letters 'st,' 'd' and tn have to be followed by period when used thus: 1st, 2d, 4th? What is this com bination-an abbreviation, contraction or merely a sign?''
 In the forms 1st, 2d, 4th, etc, we have ordinal numerals in which an Arabic figure is substituted for the spelled out name of the cardinal number from which the ordinal is derived. The let ters added to the Arabic numeFal form the specific infection which changes the cardinal to an ordinal nUmeral. The forms in question, then, are nei- ther abbreyiations nor contractions, nor yet mere signs.

Ice jackets have been found to be the best protection for frozen salmon on their long journeys from the Pa cific coast to all parts of the world. Thousands of tons of salmon are now frozen in the great factories of the coast for export, because the combina- tion Of the ice jackets and the frozen meat has been found to keep the fish from becoming tainted. After the salm- on are bled they are kept at a tenn perature of zero, or near there, for forty-eight hours and are frozen hard. If they were shipped this way, how ever, the air would get to the fish to some extent and tainting would re- suit, so they are dipped in tanks of water and given another freezing. This puts q thin jacket of ice all over each fish, or giazes him, as it is called. Aft CT two coats of glazing the salmon are wrapped in paper, packed in paper lined boxes and started to the export markets.-Saturday Evening Post.
