ALWAYS WORTH THE LIVING Despondency Only of the Moment, and Life ! Bound to Resume Its Cheerfulness. Of course we have all heard the query, "Is life worth living?" Perhaps we've asked it of ourselves many times, in moments of discouragement, when all things seemed to be working for the darker side, and the sunlight of hope was for the time being ob&cured by heavy clouds. Many are the answ tr?in fact, all humanity from the very beginning has been responding to the great " i -L i- i: challenge?and we are touay vne ming exponents of flic prohlem. If my life, your life and the life of our neighbor has been "lived" and holds the power to keep on doing so, then yes, a thousand times, our lives are worth living! But if, for some or many reasons, these lives have l>oen spent in days of idleness, or worse, the answer is to be found on the face of the undeniable failures which are the outcome of such waste. People who are i i earnest about whatever they are engaged in doing 6eldom have time to stop and ask rueh questions; they are too busy making their own. anil the lives of those with "hum they arc associated j really wortii whi! to withdraw from life's great arniv of orkers thinkers and "livers"?merely to stand by th? roadside and say, "Is it ali worth while?" Some pcopl" remind us Af "insulated" bodies; they are wholly unresponsive, cut otf?as were?from the influence of anything good, true and beautiful, seemingly surrounded by their own narrowness of mind and smallness of soul. And they arc the ones who ask, "Is life worth living?"?Exchanage. RATTLING ALL RIGHT! Speedleigh?I've just bought at automobile for $225. It's a rattling car. Needlcigh?Oh! I've heart it. NOT MANY RATS FOUND. The offer of the government of Jamaica of Id for each detm rat delivered at the pumping station in Kingston, is not producing much fruit. In three weeks only 80 rats were delivered at the station, viz: for the week ending 20th July, 15; week ending July 27th, 30; week ending August 3d, 35. About a score more dead rodents were a!'-o sent to the pumping station, hut afterwards transferred to the government bacteriologist. v NOTHING TO IT. "Duke, do you really love me?"

At a meeting of the Linnean society of London, Professor Poulton presiding, a letter was read from Herr Paul Seherdlin, as follows: "For hundreds of years pigeons have nested on the spire of Strasshurg cathedral. They increased so much that mapy attempts have heen made to'extirpate them, but in vain. During the last few years there has been a sudden and startling diminution in the number of these cathedral pigeons. I am of opinion that this manifest reduction is due to th asphalting of the streets round ih cathedral. Between the stone sets of the pavement the pigeons were able to pick up food in quantity, in consequence of the asphaltin and 1:ily watering and cleansin c! places in Img lmmeuuit' ucigiiuuniwu . ??binls have gone."?London Chronicle.
