CHLOE DIVINE.
Chloe’s a nymph in flowery groves,
A nereid in the streams;
Saintlike she in the temple moves,
A woman in my dreams.
Love steals artillery from her eyes,
The graces point her charms;
Orpheus is rival’d in her voice,
And Venus in her arms.
Never so happily in one
Did heaven and earth combine;
And yet ’tis flesh and blood alone
That makes her so divine.
—THOMAS D’URFEY.
MRS. FLASH.
The gay Mrs. Flash has
Remarried, you know;
She came to the city
Three husbands ago.

LIVING COSTS MORE.
(Philadelphia Public Ledger.)
Additional statistics on the in
creased cost of living were made pub
lic last week by the Department of
Commerce. The investigation shows
that wholesale prices reached a higher
level in 1906 than in any other year
during the 17-year period covered. The
average was 36.5 per cent higher than
that for 1897, the year of lowest prices,
and 22.4 higher than the average for
the ten years from 1890 to 1900. Os
258 representative articles, 178 showed
an increase in price in 1906 over the
figures for the previous year. The av
erage was 5.6 per cent higher, and
prices reached their highest point in
December. The increased cost of most
articles in common .use during the
year was general, in some instances
extraordinary. Thus, the price of
metals and implements rose nearly

UP A TREE.
(The New York Herald.)
Dr. Aked seems to have made the
hit of the season last Sunday. He may
turn out to be a second Rainsford. It
looks, however, as if he is going gun
ning for bulls and bears and the little
lamb in Wall street, whereas Rains
ford went for grizzlies in the Rocky
Mountains. Aked is an excellent story
teller and will be a prize for our fore
most social clubs at annual banquets.
He tells this on Spurgeon, who used
to practice his students in extempore
preaching: One of the eminent di
vine’s young men on reaching the desk
and opening the note containing his
text, read the single word “Zaccheus.”
He thought a minute or two, then de
livered himself thus: “Zaccheus was
up a tree; so am I. Zaccheus made
haste and came down, and so do I.”

THE JERSEY WAY.
A negro in New Jersey, who knock
ed down a white woman on the street,
was beaten by his captors, and when
brought into court was knocked down
by the presiding judge! But, suppose
these incidents had occurred in a
Southern state? Shall we understand
that all Jerseymen are brutes as Sheri
dan concluded all Louisianians were
ruffians?
