The measure of our days. 1 In all our walk, In all our ways, " ' Think not the measure of oar days la ganged by figures and by roles, As erst was taught ns in the schools; . But, as we help a brother's needs Br noble acts and generous deeds, ' By giving comfort where we may. By lighting np a mourner's war: The sum of means that we emplor ' To torn a fellow's ills to Joy - This is the measure of oar days. A veteran in the wars of life, A prisoned soldier in the strife Of sonl with Btlngry. carious Time Is he who makes his actions rhyme To universal brotherhood. Though long or short hath been his road. Centuries or decades his abode - Among his kind, it matters least So fellows by him have been blest. : Els life is measured by his plan Of dealing with his fellow man. - This is the measure of his days. - And much methinka of time he gains. For all his labors, all his pains. For reaching outward far and near -To succor want and shelter fear. No stingr paddock hems him in,- - To mean desires and groveling sin. . A widow's blessing him avails, " An orphan's prayer some good - While stretching outward over man He converse holds with Nature's plan. And solving life's deep mysteries, -He grasps eternal verities. This is the measure of his days. . - T. O. Bice. Two Spiders. In an angle of a basement wall I knew contented and plethoric hermit spider V 4.1 . - a a . an une opposite) corner uwen anoiner. One was black and the other was the color of ashes. One was very fat and the other exceedingly lean. But their webs were as nearly alike as possible. and they both caught flies that came through the same window. There was no social intercourse and I used to sit on the steps and imagine the rivalry in business that most exist and the conse quent hatred. I meant in the course of time to discover what the consequences would be if they were made to exchange webs, but a pi edacious female with a broom came upon the scene, with a re sult whose details would not strike the reader as novel. ' , But I am convinced that Montague and Capulet are characters not unknown zn the spider kindred, though they re Terse the usual and natural order of en mity, and fight only when they are blood relatives and precisely alike.

Vent peopla know that tha bright bluish-green color of the ordinary teas exposed In the windows Is not the nat ural color. Unpleasant as the fact may be, it is nevertheless artificial; mineral coloring matter being nsed for this purpose. The' effect is two fold. . It not only makes the tea a bright, shiny green, bat also permits the Kb of " off-color " and worthless teas, which, . once under the green cloak, are readily worked off as a good quality of tea. . An eminent authority writes on this sub- . ect: The manipulation of poor teas, to give them sflner appearance, is carried on exten sively. Green -teas, being in this country -especially popular, are produced to meet the ; demand by coloring cheaper black kinds by , glaslng or facing with Prussian blue, tumeric, gypsum, and indigo. ThU method U so gen--trot that very little genuine uncolored green tea it offered for tale." . , It was the knowledge of this condition of affairs that prompted the placing of Beech's Tea before the public.'
