The air is full of farewells to thc dying; And mournings for thc dead; The heart of Kuchel for her chil dren crying, Will not bc comforted. Wc see but dimly thro' the mists and vapors; Amid these earthly damps What seems to us but sad funeral tapers May be heaven's distant lumps. There is no death; what seems so is transitions; This life of mortal breath Is but tho suburb of the life elysian, Whoso portal wc call death. lie is not dead-thc child of our a flection, But gone unto that school Where lie no longer needs our poor protection, And Christ himself doth rule, In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion, By guardian angels led, Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution, Ile lives whom we call dead; Day after day mc think what he is doing In those bright realms of air: Year after year bis tender steps pursuing, Behold him grown more fair. Thus do wc walk with him, and kee]) unbroken The bond which nature gives Thinking that our remembrance though unspoken, May reach him where he lives.

In view of all that has been said.' about tho falb in the death rate, lt seems strange to realizo that we ar? not living so long us our grandfathers and grandmothers did. Moro babies live to grow up nowadays than former ly, but people In later lifo die younger. Once arrived at adult age tho average man or woman has fewer years of sur vival to expect. This seems on the face of it so surprising a statement that in order to bo accepted lt should be back ed up by data authentic and indisputa ble. Such data are furnished by the figures of the insurance companies, which all agree on the point, but it ls easier to refer to the government cen sus reports, which tell the tale In sim ple and convincing fashion. Even dur ing the last fifteen years the death rate among al) persons over fifty-five years of ?ge of both sexes has risen very considerably.-Health Culture. Th? Porcelain Tower. The famous porcelain tower was one of the architectural boasts of Nankin, (.Udna. It was reared In the ninth cen tury before Christ by King A-yon and has been twice rebuilt, once In the fourth century of the Christian era and again in M13 by Hoang-ll-Tai. Tlie tower originally attained a height of 350 feet, lt consisted of nine stories, surmounted hy a great mast bounded by a spiral cage and crowned by an immense globe. A hundred and fifty two large betls were hung from the roofs of the nine stories, which were ornamented also with 128 lamps. The cost of the original edifice M'as esti mated at between 535.000,000 and $10, 000,000. It was made of white brick, and the walls and roofs were brilliant ly ornamented with porcelain. Thc groat porcelain tower was destroyed in 1853, during tho Talplng occupation of the city.
