Like n Child.
Rr LOUISE CHANDLER MoUL1oy.

~ i''SisE VIA MOUL1ON.
Playing there In the sun,
Chasing the butterflies,
Catching his golden Toy,
Holding 1t fast ill It dies;
Singing to match The birds,
Calling the robins at will,
Glancing here aud there.
Never u moment still
Like child.
Going to school, at last,
Learning to read and write,
Puzzled over his slate,
Busy from morn till night,
Striving TO win prize,
Careless when II Is won,
Finding his Joy in the STRIFE,
Not In the thing that's done.
Busy in eager trade,
Buying and selling again,
Chasing golden prize,
Glad Of transient gain;
Always beginning anew,
Never the long task DER,
Just as II used Ia be
The butterfly before.
Sccking wOman's heart,
Winning it for his own,
Then, too busy for love,
Letting 1t turn 10 stone.
Sure Of his pliShtcd truth,
What more had wife 10 ask!
Is he moi doing for her
Each day his daily task?
a child, 10 pine and complain!
a child, to grow so pale!
For want OF some foolish words
Shall n woman's faith fail!
Words! hc said them once
What need Of anything more!
Does one who has entered n room
Go back and shut tho doorI
Baby Mary and Kate
Never can climb his knee;
Mothcrly arms are open
Father Is busy you sec"
Too busy to stop to hear
A bnbblc OF broken talk,
To mend the jumping jack,
Or make the new doll walk.
So busy that when death comes
He pleads for little delay,
II not to finish his work
At least word to sny-
4 word to wife and child,
4 sentence To tell The truth,
That he loves them now at the last,
With the passionate heart OF youth.
The kisses 0f Death arc cold,
And they turn his lips 10 stone;
Out Of the warm, bright world
The man goes all alone.
Do angels wait for him there
Over tho sOundlcss sea?
He goes, "a he came, helpless wight,
To q new worlds mystery
Like Child.

Do not Ent Raw Eggs!

One Of the most common preiudices of
housewives and mothers is that hard eggs
are tficult to digest, especially the white,
ana that the less they are boiled the bet
ter they are for weak and dyspeptic stom-
achs. Tho reverse is the case, as there is
more danger of raw and soft white of an
egg passing through the digestive appa-
rntus without being really digested than
when thoroughly boiled and hard; in fact
then it constitutes most excellent food
for dyspeptics, rs experience is proving.
y writer in the Medical Journal SAYS: |:
awe have seen dyspcp,ics who suffered
untold tormenta with almost every kind
Of food. No liquid could be taken with
out suffering; bread became burning
acidi mCat and milk were solid and liquid
fires. We have seen these same sufferers
trying to avoid food and drink and even
going to the enema syringe for sustcnancc.
And we have seen their tormcnts pass
away and their hunger relieved by living
upon the white Of eggs which Ind been
boiled i'll bubbIing water for thirty min
utcs. at the end of week wchavo given
the hard yOlk with the white, and upon
this diet alone, without fluid of any kind,
we have seen them begin to gain flesh and
strength and refreshing sleep. After
weeks of this treatment they have been
able, withcarc, To begin upon other food" :"
And all this, the writer adds, without
taking medicine. lie says, what VIC also
have always maintaincd, tllut hard-bolcd
eggs arc not half so bad ns hHlf.bOilcd
ones and ten times rs easy to digest as
raw eggs; and VIC lIavo no doubt that nm
animal may be starved to death by eating
gelatin alone. Only toothlcss babies can

a BIRDS NEsT.-Thcrc is pretty nest
i'll the museum of Brown University,
which shows what wisdom God can give
to little bird.
Tho nest was hung by strings, so the
babies would bc rocked to sleep by every
breeze. But as they grew heavier thc
mother bird found that her twig was too
weak. So she looked about until she
found stout cord. This she wovo around
the nest, and then hung it up to strong
limb overhead. This steadicd it, and
made MI safe.
Some little swallows once built n nest
against n lime kiln. But the wall was 50
warm The clay soon cracked and the nest
fell down. Immediately they built il
over, hut again il fell. Not discouraged,
they tried it u third time with no better
success,
They built q fourth nest, which tc-
manned firm, aud in il they reared little
bTood. They had found and worked MI
II kind of clay tha, would stand the heat.
They came back the next year and re.
paired their cottage with the same clay
This they did also the third year. After
that they did not return, having probably
lived out the term Of swallow life.

makes waste. "Ncvcr bc in Il hurry"
said the eminent French surgeon, Nclnlin,
to his students. "Ir in pcrfurming nn

bleed TO death for two minutes. Thirty
seconds is ample time to take up the ar
terry; in fifteen seconds you cnn tic il 4; you
have then one minute and fifteen seconds
to spare. But you can't do this if you arc

imprcssing the pupils with the frct that

judgment Of n surgeon.

From Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Missouri we have reports of most de-
structive rain storms, which have
caused an immense amount of dam
age to the growing crops, especially
wheat, oats and barley, these crops
in many places being completely de-
stroyed. On nearly all the railroads
in Ohio and Indiana wash-outs and
land-slides have occurred, bridges
swept away, and a general detention
of trains has resulted. Grave appre-
tensions were felt Sunday night of
an overflow of the Mississippi, in
which case the damage along the
low grounds would be incalculable.

Died for Love.

The coroner held an inquest
on the body Of Mary KoehI, a
young woman twenty-five years
old, who hung herselfin a barn on
her aunt's premises, near Reading
about ten miles from Cincinnati.
She was found about 6 O'Clock on
Wednesday evening, where she
had been hanging since the previ-
Gus day. 1t was evidently death
for love. The girl was highly re-
spected, and was in love with a
young man, but the difficulty in
the case was that she was Protes-
tant and he Catholic After her
death letter was found in her
room and addressed to her lover.
1t was all crumpled and twisted,
and was tied with string. The
following is the principal portion
of the affecting farewell letter:
Dear Beloved Sweetheart, Befjd-
min Lighten6erg - With broken
heart / take up my pen to tell you
that ! am about to hang myself for
your sake, for you were dearer
thai my own life. / always
thought that you would remain
faithful to me, but / see that my
hopes were in vain. God will for
give me. / think it no sin TO take
my life, for / see no other relief
from the troubles which are too
heavy to bear. 1t Is not your fault
or mine, but your mother, and she
will have to answer for it; you
would never have forsaken me If
it had not been for others, who
gave you no rest night or day.
Your mother never ceased up
braiding you because of your love
for me. The ring you gave me /
shall take along with me to my
grave as a keepsake.
Now, / must cease my writing be-
fore the tears come. o, dear Ben,
l must go from here and say fare
well. Many, many hearty greet
ings to you Oh, Ben, had never
thought that of you-that you
could be so Indifferent. l always
thought that you would be the
preserver of my very life; but no,
you bring me under the earth. /
can. barely forgive you, but, for
the sake of God, l must, and will.
You have treated me cruelty. 0.
dear Lord, forgive me, that l may
not be lost. If l do not reach
Heaven, Ben, because of this, then
you cannot, for you are as guilty
as l am. Many, many regards l
send. / hope we will meet in the
other world Be kind to my men,
ory, to never mary, and never for
get your loving
MARY KoEHL.
Across the margin were the
word: Il die Of love for you
without you l cannot live"
Litchenberg testified that he
would have married her but for
his religion. He said he had al
ways treated her honorably. He
is so grief-stricken that his friends
are alarmed lest he will follow the
example Of Mary.
