Che bdunted SWinS

The little rope-swing meath the maple Dough
Moves forward and back of old; but now
The babe who swung when the days were warm
Lies quiet within where there is no storm,
She lies too still in the perfumed place.
With smile too changeess on her face
And the wax-white rosebuds willing there
Than her motionless hands far less fair
The wind keeps swaying the hempen swing
And coaxng: Baby come romp and sing
For the wind is stupid and cannot know
Babes must not sing and swing in the snow;
And the wind is blind, so he cannot see
The shimmering, sheltering shroud; and he
Is deaf. and cannot hear cries
Or the drip of tears from our parents eyes.
The voice of the wind has lost its grief
As though his longing had found relief.
The little rope-swing more rhythmicaly
Goes back and forth meath the maple tree.
Do hear-or merely believe do
Mid the winds soft grooming the baby's COO:
Who knows but her snow-white baby soul
Is swinging out there by the maple hole.

This is question probably as ola as
industry itself, and yet it comes anew
for solution to every young man ana

Civilization is a cooperative socleIE,
in which mere existence entails the
obligation to contribute in proportion
as one receives.
The present is the sum of all the
nast The present civilization has
been bought at an awful cost OF bioou
and of suffering and of untold sacrl-
flee. and there is certainly greater
significance in 1t than merely TO pe
used for our own selfish ENDS. Inc
nronise of the race is in it. the Wei
fsre of the coming man. the perfect
woman are in 1t. and we have no right
~ debauch 1t or to turn its currents
running heavenward to turn our own
little mill.
There Is a greater meaning IN all the
accumulation of past values, there is
q greater and deeper meaning IN the
world We find when we enter II than
the mere opportunity for US TO work
it fer all there is in it for ourselves
Do YOU realize that the liberty and
the security which you enjoy every
dav have broken multitudes OF hearts
and have cost gallons OF blood!
Just think what you owe to the eu-
uca tional institutions of this country
that come from the elaboration and
the sacrifices of the finest minds OF
a great many centuries.
You owe il to the world 10 pass
along To others who come after You
/ all OF the good things which you

links in the great human chain. No
one is Independent OF the rest. The
whole human race is tied together.

Butter Kept Good for 80 Years.

From Towanda, Pa, comes the
story that at the old Red Tavern,
thirty years ago. a firkin of butter
containing one hundred pounds.
tightly headed, was lowered in a
deep well to be kept cool until
wanted for use. In lowering it the
rope broke and the butter went to
the bottom of the well which was
half full of water. After spending
considerable time graphing for it
and knowing that to pump all the
water out and 90 down for its re-
covery would be a hard disagree
able job, the proprietor concluded
to leave it where it was until a
more convenient season. Butter
was cheap (only l2c per pound

ly 1885 in the morning operations
were begun in a forest near the fac

were stripped, cut into pieces, and
reduced to pulp by mechanical
means. The pulp was thrown into
a tub and mixed with the ingredi.
ents required to turn it into paper.
The paste thus formed was passed
through the rolling machine and at
934 o'clock-one hour and fifty-nine
minutes after telling of the trees -
