Theofocopulos erousos a mob to destroy the Space Gun. "Are we never to enjoy our hard-won security?" ho demands. "Let us have on end of progress! We have ali wa wanil"
The lovers get wind of the plot and kasten to anticipate the mob. Hurriedly, they have themselves trapped to the seat of the projectilo, and give the order to fire.
The mob has advanced upon the Space Gun. Cabal shouts a warning, and the mob retreats in foar of the tremendous concussion. There is a mighty roor, and the projectilo shoots into space.

Ripe apples drop upon my head; The tuacions clusters of the vhic Upon my mouth do crush their wine; The nectarine and curious peach Into my handa themacivca do reach; Stumbling on melons, as I pesa, Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass, Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less Withdrawn into its happiness;

The Postmaster-General, of Afty years ago welcomed the flood of love-letters which poured through his mails, The Postmaster-General of to-day seems to have lost that trade, though no doubt the conversation between lovers is of as high n quality as ever it was.
But however well-spoken words may be, they can never give the same thrill as the sight of familiar handwriting on an envelope in morning's mail.

Mr. A. Aubrey smokes - BUT HE ALWAYS HAS WHITE TEETH
Mr. Aubrey writes:
"You might be interested to know that I am a regular and satisfied. user of MACLEANS Peroxide Tooth Paste. As you will see from the accom panying photograph, my teeth are as. white and healthy as any man could wish, although I smoke a good deal.”
Many users of Macleans who write to us make a particular point of the healthidess of their mouths, and the whiteness of their teeth. Such letters are
being received from all parts of the country,
and emphasise the importance of using the genuine all-British Macleane Peroxide Tooth Paste.

Is there a man in Parliament to- day of whom it will be said that he wrote more than 1,000 love-letters? That is the record of Disraeli, who wrote love-letters to two coun- tesses on note-paper which
