A FAMOUS WOMAN SwIMMER.-During
the last voyage of the steamship Royal
Dane, from Copenhagen to Newcastle-on-
Tyne, a serious accident occurred to Miss
Fry, the stewardess. The sea was rough
on Sunday, and as she was going up some
steps to the deck, the boat took lurch and
Miss Fry fell into the sea. The accident
caused great commotion on board, and it
expected that she would be drowned before
asst tance reached her, the vessel being
under full steam at the time. A boat was
got out from the steamer as soon as it
could be stopped, and was fully manned
and pulled back to where Miss Fry was
last seen. She was found comfortably
floating ON her back, when the boat reached
her, and not much the worse for her inn
mersion. She stated that after she was
thrown into the water she pulled her boots
off, and swan for some time. She then
waited quietly until the boat picked her up.
Miss Fry belongs to famous Tynemouth
family of swimmers, and she is considered
one of the best female swimmers ON the
northeast coast of England d---LsuerpooI

The other day Detroit husband went
off on fishing excursion with small par

pounded ON the door and woke his wife.
AS she let him into the hall she saw that
something allied him, and she cried out:
:. Why, Henry, your face is as red as

down the hail.
"And / believe you've been drinking, z
she added.
"Whazzer mean by That ?" he inquired,
trying to stand still.
"oh! Henry your face would never look
like that if you hadn't been drinking

ewes. "Sposen big bass jup'n hit me in tn

TIE AsIATIC KTTE.-In Central Asia, as
well as in this country, kite-fying is a
favorite amusement among the boys. But
then it is made to yield double gratifca-
tion, for while pleasing the eye by its
graceful movements, the kite is SO con-
structed as to delight the ear by the ennis
sion of soft, musical sounds. To produce
this music, the kite is manufactured in a
peculiar manner. Each one is square
formed upon two diagonals of light wood,
whose extremities are connected by tight
string, forming the sides of a square. Over
the whole paperis pasted A loose string
upon the upright diagonal receives the
string by which the kite is to be held, and
tail is fastened to its lowest extremity.
The transverse diagonal or cross-stick is
then bent back like strong bow and fast
ened by a thread of catcut OF course
every breeze that passes the kite yibrates
this tight cord, and the vibrations are
communicated to the highly sonorous frame
of the kite, and as numbers Of these kites
are left floating In the air all night, the
effect is thatsof arial music, monotonous,
but full Of melancholy interest.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Wholr-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words,
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterauce prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so. 4
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight, at set of sun
Beautiful goal with race well wen,
Beautiful rest with work we'll done,
Beautiful graves where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie deep
Over worn-out hands oh! beautiful sleep.

POETRY.
THE LAST LOOK.

They say the years since last we met
Have wrought sad change in thee;
That it were better to forget
Our youths fond history.
And yet fain would clasp that hand,
Would meet those eyes once more.
One moment by thy side would stand,
AsI have stood of yore.
They say the very tones that thrllld
My heart and dmmd my eyes,
Now, by the cold worlds blighting chilrd
scarce might recognize
And yet I long to hear thee speak,
Pepeat some hygone strain,
Although the charm there would seek
Were listened for in vain.
would not wish the years rolled back,
Could such a choice be M inc,
Nor faltcr in the onward track, -g3s
Though severed far from thine.
But pilgrims may from hard-won heights
Receding homes survey,
And give sigh to past delights,
Yet, sighing--turn away.

opposition as gas-light When in 1906,
Winsor applied to Parliament to charter a
company to light the streets of London,

Dr. Hall relates the case of a man who
was cured of his biliousness by going with.
out his supper and drinking freely of lem
onade. The next morning this patient
arose with wonderful sense of rest and
refreshment, and feeling as though the
blood had been literally washed, ceansed
and cooled by the lemonade and fast. His
theory is that food can be used as remedy
for many diseases successfully. AS an ex-
ample, he cures splitting of blood, by the
use of salt; epilepsy, by watermelens kid
ney affections, by celery poison, by olive
or sweet oil !; erysiselas, by pounded cram
berries applied to the part affected !;
hydrophobia, by onions, etc. So the way
to keep in good health is really to know
what to eat and to know what medicine to
take.

MOTHERS W AN.

OFT within our little cottage,
As the shadows gently fall,
While the mnligh. touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall
DO we gather close together,
AND in flushed and tender tones,
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wander why this cu'iom
At the ending Of the day,
Eve and voice would quickly answer,
1T was once our mothers way,
If our home be bright and CHEEKY,
II it holds welcome true,
Opening wide its door Of greeting,
TO the many-not the few;
five share our fathers bounty
With the needy day by day,
Ills because our hearts remember
This wa. ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hearts grow weary
Or our task seems very long,
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong,
Then We gain new, fresh courage,
As We rise to proudly say,
"l.ct us do our duty hravcly-
This was our dear mothers way.
Thus We keep her memory precious,
While we never cease to pray
That at last when lengthening shadow
Mark the evening Of life's day,
They may find us waiting calmly
TO 60 home our mothers way.

DON'T STAY TOO LATE.
A MARRIED LADY S ADVICE TO YOUNG
MEN CONCERNING CALLS.

One of the advantages of being
"past thirty" is that one now and then
can put in a word of motherly advice
to the other sex. So I'll begin at
once and say to my single gentleman
reader, who chooses to listen-don t
stay too late when you 90 to spend
the evening with young lady. 1t Is
not fair; it is shorts GIFTED and pref
ty sure to wear cut your welcome.
Even if the poor thing is eventually
to allow you to stop until death doth
part, this is no reason why you should
bes!ow too much Of your tediousness
upon her at the outset. When she
really wishes your visits to be longer,
YOU know it even then be chary of
the moments after eleven. At any
rate don't suffer yourself to be mlsled
by the usual, commonplace forms OF
detention that, in nine cases out OF ten,
arise from a sudden consciousness on
the lady's part that she may have
been betraying her WEAKNESS rather
too plainly.
