on the infants' faces. In advanced stages of the disease they even swat dotted veils and blueberry cake.

What will be the final consummation of the hunting instinct when evolution has completed its work? While guesses are uncertain, we believe that fly-swatting will eventually give way to germ-hunting; that the sporting man of the millennium will have in his biological kennels a pack of trained bacteria, and that with these he will hunt wild germs. In that happy age some super-Thompson - Seton (or will it be super-Seton-Thompson again by that time?) will write of Gogo,

the Brave Old Measles Germ-how he kept fourteen leucocytes at bay, and fought desperately till carbolic acid overcame him. It will be a great battle.

OME live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That stream and valley, dale and field, Efficiently remodeled, yield.

The dell where I shall hide thee, dear,
Must to the 'Change be fairly near-
An hour from town, if aëroplaned-
And thoroughly sub-tiled and drained.

For vine-wreathed cot I'll build thee there
The Villa d'Este, copied fair,
With thirty baths, all water-filled
From subterranean wells I 've drilled.

I'll build of course!-a theater Where thou, with comrades amateur, May'st work to elevate the stage, Chief rural pastime of our age.

When in the dusk the fireflies flit
About thy lawns, thy windows, lit
From my great dynamo, will shame
Their poor, pale phosphorescent flame.
Sometimes thou 'lt stroll in dappled shade
Through woodland paths, macadam-laid;
And gather lilies, silver-cool,
From many a well-cemented pool.

The nut, the berry, sweet and wild,
Shall give thee of their flavors mild,
Judiciously eked out with quail,
With truffles, and madeira pale.

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That stream and valley, dale and field,
The Plaza or the Ritz can yield.
