Commerce has set the mark of self ishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power, Upon a shining ore, and called it gold; Before whose image bow the vulgar great, The vainly rich, the miserable proud, The mob of peasants. nobles, priests and kings, And with blind feelings reverence the power That grinds them to the dust of misery: Cut in the temple of their hireling hearts Gold is a living god and rules in scorn All earthly things but virtue. - [Shelley.

There can be little doubt that one of the objects of yawning is the ex 'reise of muclSIes which have been for a long timie 1 quniescent and the accelerit ion of the flow of blood and lynph, which have in consequence of thi:; liescence beco 1ime sluggiih; hence its frequeicy af'teI one hms reiai ned for some ti me in the same position-for exaiple, when wak ing in the morning. Co-operating with th is cause is sleepiness and the shallow breathing which it entails. This factor, as well as muscle quiescence, is apt to attend the sense of boredom which one expe riences in listening to a dull ser mon; hence it is that the bored in dividual is apt to yawn. As in the case of sighing, the deep breath which accompanies the act of yawn ing cotmpensates for the shallow breathing that is so apt to excite it. THE MAGIO NO. '3.' Fa.,-.

A BATTLE OF HEROES At Rooroy Fell Forever the Once In vinciblo Spanish Infantry. In 1643 the Spanish governor of x the Netherlands, Francis of Mello, besieged Rocroy, which is not far r from the frontier of Flanders. The army hastily sent up to relieve Ro croy was commanded by the youth ful Duke of Enghien, afterward "the great Conde." He was but s twenty-two and had with him as monitor in war the aged and timid . Marshal l'Hopital. Enghien had I. the daring of a boy and the eye of 1. a conqueror. He was one of those ta whom inexperience helps to great ?; victories. Fearlessly he advanced his men i. through a dangerous defile, where es they might easily have been over ic whelmed. Fearlessly he deployed A under the eyes of the Spanish army, I which stood in its slow, stolid way waiting to be attacked. L'Hopital held the right wing of the enemy in check while Enghien routed their .r left, and then with his light inov t ing cavalry got around to their right i wing and routed that also, thus re lieving L'lopital, who was hard pressed. Still there remained a com pact center, a reserve of Spanish infantry, the invincible soldiers who for so long had triumphed on every battlefield. Against these the im t petuous Enghien hurled himselff, and a battle of heroes raged. Thrice the strong infantry of Spain dashed a back the waves of fierce assault. At the fourth rush of the gallant e French tihey broke and gave. The - great rock which had braved so many storms tottered and fell. The waves of the victorious attack came o boiling and surging over the ruin. I) Then fell forever the invincible Spanish infantry, the terror of the world. More than 100 years before 1 French courage had destroved the belief in the unconquierable Sis. Now Enighien had done the same thing with the Spaniards. lb erov restorev the threatenedc; preponder unce of tle :renmh inl tle war. , Against Underfeeding. r A imelical ian who is ai ae L knowledged autlioritv on diet has e uttered a warning against tie idea that there is alnyling healhv in a restricted diet.
