THE BRIGHT, SIDE
THE LAND OF GOING TOBA. There's a wonderful land where the waters play On a white, bright strand that is far away; And the ripples sing 'they kiss the shore, A song that is sweet as a dream of yore's And the pleasant paths forever are trod By the ones who smile to the smile of God, As they patiently wait by the silvery strand & For voyagers borne from the earthly land?':

honey and contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, combined. with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. Nothing has such a record of success in Scrofula, Anemia, ThroatTM and Lung Troubles, and emaciating complaints and disorders, that tend to undermine the foundations of strength and vigour.

My course is uncharted; the storms bent high, And the voice of the wind is an eerie sigh; My compass is broken; my`sails are torn, Yet I know right well that the Pilot know And bither and thither mý bark is borne,
The foundering course that my shallop goes, And still in my dreams the bourne I see And hear the promise it waits for me: '
Sails a-Alutter,
And shattered the mast,
I shall anchor safe,

"Come over, coma over the billowy sen, For the fight of His smile is the light of our

praise.
And ever, forever, storm-beaten and tossed, I know that my shallop shall never be lost;...
Dismantled, dismasted,

In this light its retention is the National Museum is regarded by M. Choumet, one of the principal Parisian authorities on There are, in India and China, pearls which are pearls. Their lease of life is variable, he known to be several centuries old, and are still brilliant, but this is due to their having been carefully kept in an even temperature. A pearl exposed to variations of heat and light is sure 10 suffer. It consists, as every one is aware, of thin layers of a substance, secreted by a. certain kind of oyster; but it is less generally NOS. 10 & 15, KNUTSFORD TERRACE, THE REMNANTS OF FURNITURE, known that this substance is deposited in crys tals (a fact discovered through examination by polarised light), so that the pearl is just as much entitled as the diamond to be classed as a crys- tal. The lustre of a pearl is made up of the combination of the varying colours of its layers of crystals, and would naturally be altered by any alteration of the outer layer. This modification may be caused, M. t'haumet say!, by heat, light, electricity and other agents. A lady who, after wearing a pearl necklace at a dance, returns home and carelessly lays the or nament on the cold marble of a tabletop runs. considerable risk of spoiling the jewels by causing a contraction or expansion of the lay. ers. Moreover, it is common knowled.e that pearls blacken after contact with the body of some wearers.

While speaking in the highest terms of the mansion standing within its 435 acres of gar dens, woodlands, and plantations, with its love- ly chain of lakes, the auctioneer remarked that some persons might have gathered the idea from certain newspaper articies that the building was equal in size to a couple of Buckingham Palaces, with Sandringham thrown in, and that ||| No. || Lake Como was in the grounde
