THE LIVING BEFORE THE DEAD Common 'Sanaa Opinion Clothed in Poetic Language Delivered from the Bench. One might say that John OriscoU's ears burned while Judge Marean read his decision in 'court the other day, except that such a statement might he open to misconstruction. For John haa been dead for two years. Just the same, whatever may be the feelings' of the deceased about the matter, Judge Marean's common sense ought to come in for a bit of reward. Driscoll left his estate of a few thousand dollars to the church he at tended at Far Rockaway on condition, literally, that his grave be kept green. In his will he commented, with a cer tain austerity upon the common prac tice of neglecting, the green tents be neath which the greater part of man kind's army is bivouacked, and de vised his thousands with an eye to making John Driscoll's grave a thing of beauty to the end of time. But John Driscoll had soma collat eral relatives, poor and ill-ciad and on the verge of starvation. Maybe they never did anything for John Dris coll during his life. Maybe John Dris coll even hated them. But neverthe less they are ill and in need, and that money John Driscoll gave to the grave might keep them in comfort for their few remaining years. No hint through the documents as to their previous re lation to John Driscoll. But Judge Marean held "that it is better that the hungry be fed and the ill-clad be clothed and the fatherless be comforted than that a mound of earth be flowered and gardened. The revolving seasons may well care for John Driscoll's grave. The winter may cover it with a glittering mantle and the spring adorn it with budding flowers, and the summer weave above it a thick green coverlid, which in its turn the fall may grant a russet hue. Let the law be as merciful to the liv ing as God is to the dead." Cincin nati Times-Star. GOOD ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG And for the Matter of That, It la Worth Heeding by "Children of Larger Growth." "Strike the knot," said a man one day to his son, who, tired and weary, was leaning on his ax over a log which he had been trying to cleave. Then, looking at the log, the gen tleman saw how the boy had hacked and chipped all around the knot with out hitting it. Taking the ax, he struck a few sharp blows on the knot and split the log without difficulty. Smiling, he returned the ax to his son, saying: "Always strike the knot." That was good advice. It is as good for you as it was to the boy to whom It was first given. It is a capital max im to follow when you are in trouble. Have you a hard sum to do at school? Have you got to face a difficulty? Are you leaving home to live for the first time among strangers? Strike the knot. Look your trouble In the eye, as the bold hunter looks in the face of the lion. Never shrink from a pain ful duty, but step right up to it and do it. Yes. strike the knot. Strike the knot, boys and girls, and you will al ways conquer your difficulties. Mon treal Herald. Rooks' Hatred of Crows. A curious incident in the recent his tory of the Gray's Inn settlement of rooks is mentioned by a London corre spondent. It appears that a couple of carrion crows settled In the gardens and one day it was discovered that the rookery was deserted. The benchers, who are particularly proud of their rooks, gave orders for the carrion crows to be de stroyed and the gardener prepared pigeons' eggs with good doses of ar senic. The crows swallowed them and seemed to grow fatter and health ier. At last strychnine was used and the pair was seen picking at the egg One of them fell as it flew up to the nest, the other reached the branch, reeled and dropped. Then a curious thing happened. Not a rook had been seen for weeks at Gray's Inn, but the next day they were all back as though advised by tele gram. Manchester Guardian. Faithful Unto Death. A pathetic story of heroic devotion to duty comes from Montreuil-sur-Mer, France. M. Lepercq, who was in charge of the lighthouse at Alpreck, near Bologne, was recently taken ill with influenza and had to go to bed One evening his substitute came to M. Lepercq and explained that he was unable to light the lamp, and in view of the grave consequences that the absence of the light might entail, the sick man rose from his bed, and in spite of the snow and wind, made his way to the lighthouse, where after considerable effort he was able tc light the lamp. He returned home but died two days later of cerebral congestion, the result. of exposure tc the inclement weather.' The humble hero would have been entitled to his pension in five years. Field Mice Work Havoc. Certain parts of Lanarkshire, Scot land, are at present suffering from s plague of voles or field mice, which have effected much havoc amongst vegetation. Many young trees In plan tations have been destroyed, and varl ous kinds of flower plants have suf fered considerably. It is thought that mild winters may partly account foi these plagues of voles The last se rlous visitation was about seventeen years ago, when great damage was done on the farms in the south ot Scotland, and a royal commission was appointed to investigate the matter It is believed .that the main reason of the trouble lies in the fact that the balance of nature has been upset by the destruction of owls, hawks, weasles and stoats, which are the natural enemies of the voles.
