A Defense of Poetry.

Poetry is the record of the best and
happiest moments of the happiest and
best minds. We are aware of evaneS-
cent visitations of thought and feeling
sometimes associated with place or
person, sometimes regarding our own
mind alone, and always arising unfore-
seen and departing unbidden, but ele-
waiting and delightful beyond all ex-
preston; so that even in the desire
and regret they leave, there cannot
but be pleasure, participating as it
does in the nature of its object. 1t is,
as it were, the INTERPRETATION of a
diviner nature through our own; but
it's footsteps are like those of wind
over the sea, which the coming calm
grasses, and whose traces remain only
as on the wrinkled sand which paves
it-Percy Bysshe Shelley.

City of Malacca.

Malacca is not city of empty
houses, for the Malays and poorer Chi
nese have jOyfully moved into any ac-
cOmmodatiOns they found vacant; but
it is distinctly a city where many Of
the houses have seen their best days.
There is an old cathedral built by the
Portuguese overlooking the city. The
roof has fallen in and tropic insects
scuttle up and down the walls. BY day
it is given over to dust and ghosts,
but when darkness settles over the wa
tiers, they light a great lantern in the
old tower, and mariners steer their
course by the mark of the ancient
church. There are two explanations
of Malaeca's present sleepiness. The
political economists say that the trade
has gone to Penang and Singapore, but
there are some who will tell you the
story of st. Xavier. That good man.
who worked dOughtily for the faith in
the Orient, tried to convert the people
OF Malacca, but they proved obdurate.
At leaving the saint shook the dust of
Malacca from his shoes, and it has
never recovered since.

GRADING AND PACKING APPLES IN ORCHARD.

The standard apple barrel is &c
inches between heads, diameter of
head 17B inches, circumference at
bulge 81 inches. 1t holds three bushels.
All the barrels should be carefully
'faced." The quality of the apples in
the 'face" should not mislead the buy

contents of the package.
Corrugated circular cardboard is Of
ten used against the top and bottom
of the barrel to prevent bruising the
fruit. These can be purchased at from

The ''face" Of the barrel is made by
placing a series of circles of apples in
the bottom of the empty barrel. The
bottom of the barrel forms the top
when the package is headed.
When the first circle around the
outside is completed, the next circle
is placed. This circle being smaller, it
will contain several apples less than

on the condition that Whitaker would

JEALOUSY and LOVE
THEY ARE QUITE DISTINCT AND
SEPARATE ATTRIBUTES
Idea That There Can Be No Love
Without Large Admixture of Jeai-
ousy Is Not by Any Means
Well Founded.

The prevailing idea appears to be
that there can be no love without a
pretty large admixture of jealousy, and
that, conversely, almost every case of
jealousy springs from some misguided
love affair.
Whether this idea is the right one
or not is decidedly open TO question.
Ideal love affairs preclude jealousy al
together, and where absolute trust and
confidence exist there is no room at
all for the green-eyed monster.
1t is only when the course of true
love ceases to run smoothly, or where
the passion is an unlawful one, that
jealousy creeps in like canker at the
root.
One curious attribute of the jeal-
GUS woman who plans to sweep her
rivals out of the way is that she gem
orally shows d marked lack of brains
in her methods. jealousy is popular
~ supposed TO arouse a diabolicaIly
clever ingenuity in the breast of the
jealous fair one-but, as matter OF
fact, it seldom does anything of the
sort.
In my opinion, jealousy makes wom-
Ell do the most stupid things in the
world Not only does it blunt all
their finer feelings, but at the same
time it causes a curious confusion of
mind, which fails to take the proper
grasp of consequences and which is
utterly illogical and childiShly reckless
in its workings.
One has only to glance at the daily
papers TO see this fact practically illus
trated. The schemes of the jealous
woman are the most childiShly imma-
ture in the world, and in almost every
case fall TO pieces and bring speedy
retribution on her own head. For not
alone does the victim suffer. The
worst generally comes upon the plot
ter herself.
Love very often does bring a GER
tain amount of jealousy i'll it's train.
But at the same time it is entirely up
to ourselves to curb those feelings and
to keep them from outward and visible
sign of expression.
Moreover, it is perfectly true that,
although love generally does admit of
jealousy, the latter can exist and flour
ish pretty successfully without love.
A woman may be desperately jealous
Of the attentions which a man pays
to another woman without in the least
loving that particular man.
Jealousy may spring from nurt
pride, or from baked hopes, or from
the fear of what people may say, quite
as frequently as it springs from love.
Therefore, in the last analysis, we
may most assuredly claim that jeal-
Ousy and love are two distinct and
quite separable affairs
