i The following beautiful paragraph is takon from an
eastern publication. It means so much that it is worth
'reading twice:
j A hand in the dark; tho morning beam after a long
jnigh.t;'the drink of crystal pure water after a long and
dusty march; tho smile of trust, when other faces wear a
frown; the wide-open welcoming door, after wandering;;
the kiss of love, that needs no lips to make itself felt;
the embraces which tenderly enfolds without the aid of
arms. Call them what you will, but never f iit to count
,them your great treasures, and know that their voices ami
'memories will endure.
Son What is tho meaning of
'IHtlestrlnn?'

niaterliil for accidents,'
