The Soldier's Mother My bonnie boy he went away To fight across the sea ; J knew th etears that fell that day Were heaven's gift to me, But I was proud, " though I was sad, For after many years, He stood, just as his father had, And kissed away my tears. In some far spot beneath the sod My winsome laddie lies, While I must humbly thank my God For tears that fill my eyes. Oh! -I havé known the joys of life, . Beheld its hopes and fears ; But when the heart is torn with strife God's greatest gift is tears. My only son, my greatest joy, That is the gift I gave; And if I weep, I'm proud my boy Lies in a soldier's grave. He has no graven- monument, But what is- that to me; He died a man, so I'm -content. These tears ? God set them free. Mothers, if when you mourn your dead, Your grief o'erwhelms your pride, Think had they lived then in their stead An Empire must have died. 1 HEALTH Kissing. , One who dislikes to observe fashions fashions in human conduct cannot help concluding that kissing is no longer a universal feminine custom. Women have learned to meet and part, at least in public places, without open endearments ; which is " an excellent thing both as a matter of good taste and of hygiene. Foolish customs often often survive endless scolding on hygienic hygienic grounds, but they are usually vulnerable from the standpoint of social social convention; and kissing is becoming becoming unfashionable! If we could only bring promiscuous kissing under the ban for everyone, how many colds arid coughs and minor minor infections we should be spared ! We cannot think of forbidding the j kiss between parents and children, or ' between brothers and sisters, and yet everyone ought to exercise the greatest caution, especially during the winter months, when colds and grippes are prevalent, especially j among families that are predisposed to such infections. Why do we tialm- ' ly exchange the germs of a complaint that we sternly isolate after it has declared itself? / Affection can be shown without the touching of lip to lip. No caress is more charming than the gentle touch of cheek to cheek that well- bred Frenchwomen use; parents ought to teach children to do all their kissing in that way. Even people who are in perfect health harbor mi- | crobes that can cause violent illness ' in those who are susceptible to them, j Certain germs, those of pneumonia, ' for instance, are very /fften present 1 in the mouth and throat; they are, I for the time being, harmless to their , host, but might be fatal if communi- j cated in a kiss to seme one more sus- ; ceptible to their poison. Many persons continue the practice of kissing long after they have learned learned its dangers, because they fear to be misunderstood ; but there are other and harmless ways of showing their affection. Select one of them, and accustom those you love to that. You will find that they will soon regard the new caress as welcome as the kiss. 0 Mag; BAKI town *INS N' CONTAINS NO : ALUM i, BPWW.

A case in which Sir Edward Clarke, the eminent barrister, was employed came up for a hearing late in the afternoon, says the Tatler, and Sir Edward asked the judge to allow it to stand over until the following day. "I have been speaking all day in another court," he said, "and I am rather exhausted. His request was granted. The clerk called the next case, and immediately a young barrister rose who, for some reason of his own, did not want the case to be tried at that time. He also requested that his case might be postponed. "Why?" asked the judge coldly. "May it please your lordship," the barrister replied, "I, too, am in a state of exhaustion, for !• have been listening the whole day to Sir Edward Edward Clarke." THE FRENCH TRICOLOR.

The French have always favored the colors of~ red, white and blue, and throughout their history red banners, white plumes, and blue _ scarves have been largely used in connection with royalty and the army. The French national flag, the tricolor, however, which combines the three popular colors of France, is comparatively modern. The flag was first adopted about 1794. A decree was ' issued which gave to all flags a knot of tricolor tricolor ribbons at the top of the staff, and later the. red, white, and blue design was chosen for the national flag. Some years after it was abolished abolished for the white flag of France made famous by Henry IV.; and it was not until 1830 that the tricolor came into its own again. Since then the flag has been the national banner banner of France. The divisions on the tricolor are not all the same size. The red occupies the largest space, the blue is slightly smaller than the red, and the white is the narrowest stripe of the three. The space occupied occupied by the colors has been scientifically scientifically worked out in order to make the flag visible at long distances, a necessary. necessary. asset for naval purposes. France had numerous national flags before it adopted the tricolor. Al- he j though its present banner is not particularly particularly artistic, its predecessors ranked amongst the most beautiful flags in the world. The first French flag was extremely quaint. It consisted consisted of a blue hood hung on a cross bar and represented the cloak of St. Martin, a saint greatly revered by the French, and years ago his helmet was carried v by our allies in their wars to inspire the soldiers. The second French flag was a beautiful banner of red, with its loose end cut into three tongues, resembling resembling flames, between each of which was a green tassel. Some picturesque banners were at one time carried by the French warriors warriors before the tricolor waved over the French battlefields^ There was the sky-blue cavalry standard with the golden sun of. Louis XIV., the white, and gold banner of Joan of Arc, magnificently embroidered with the Madonna, angels, and lilies, and the famous old banner of the city of Paris with its white ship on a blood- red field. The tricolor forms the base of nearly every flag connected with the army, .navy, and merchant service service of France. Where He Was Going.

A girl's ill-health can frequently be attributed to the fact that she stands too much. This applies particularly particularly to shopgirls and waitresses, who spend about a third of their hard-working lives in a standing position. position. Clerks, on the other hand, are declared declared by physicians to sit too much. Long hours spent sitting at a desk, in a more or less cramped position, J pan seriously affect the health, and very often they set up one or other of those ailments which bar the enjoyment enjoyment of normal old age. What is the remedy? In many instances, unfortunately, it is a case of sauve qui peut. In other words, we must devise our own méans of trying trying to overcome the evils that beset us. But more chairs for shopgirls . and high standing desks for clerks j might help to solve a difficulty which i has got to be solved sooner or later, j The ideal to aim for is normality. ! When a girl feels tired from standing she should be given the opportunity to sit down, and when a mari feels cramped from sitting he should be able to rise for a stretch.
