Milk aynesia prescribed by THE RHYMING OPTIMIST \—By Aline Michaelis LIFE’S DELIGHT Sometimes love is a rose aglow In a garden gay with sun, Where the winds all sweet with per- fume go And song is never done. As day by day the roses nod And brighten the garden-place, So love in a life is the smile of God, And life grows fair by love's grace. Sometimes love is a lily-bud As lovely as the moon, A lily-bud in the star-light’s flood On the still and black lagoon. As lilies may lift their petals pale Ouit of the mud and slime, So love in a life can never fail To make that life sublime. Love may be rose or lily white, A thing of sun or shade; But always love has been life’s delight, Since ever the world was made. Not a Favorable Sign “Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust.”—Psalm xl. 4. Just to trust and yet to ask Guidance still, Take the training or the task He . fe will. Just to take the loss or gain He sends it; Just to take the joy or pain As He lends it. This is all and yet the way Marked by Him who loves thee Secret ork happy day, Secret of His promised rest. —Frances Ridley Havergal. If you go to Him to be guided, He will guide you; but He ‘will not com- fort your distrust or half-trust of Him by showing you the chart of all His purposes concerning you. He will only show you into a way where, if you go cheerfully and trustfully forward, He will show you on still farther. No contract will be made with you save that He engages, if you trust Him, to lead you into the best things all the way through.”"—Horace Bushnell. 4 Species Is Unknown Petrified Fish Found In Gravel Pit Near Moose Jaw Mute testimony of the belief that the prairies were once covered by many fathoms of water is borne in the finding of a petrified shell fish of an unknown species, in a gravel pit, three miles southeast of Moose Jaw. Carl Erickson, working at the rock pile was smashing a huge rock of 500 or 600 pounds when he came upon the “fish” It was right in the centre of the huge rock which had been dug up from a depth of about eight feet underground. This relic of a distant age resem- bles the snail and is about the size of a man’s fist. Simple When You Know Last month says the New Yorker, a gentleman got his bill from Ham- macher, Schlemmer’s. He hadn't bought much there the previous month; only one item was listed, but that one item puzzled him exceeding- It was “I gr F H Brt Ir Wd Scs —0.45." He puzzled over this for some time, and got nowhere; finally just for the sake of his peace of mind, he called the store and asked them please to explain what it meant. Simple matter. It meant: “One gross flat-headed bright iron wood screws.” ly. English is displacing French as the first foreign language taught in many Prussian schools.
