SOMEWHERE
BY ID. n. BURKE.

Somewhere In q world beyond,
Somewhere In yon starry sky,
Somewhere must purer love be found,
Somewhere the heart no more will sigh.
Somewhere have myriad spirits flown,
Somewhere myriads still will go,
Somewhere-but where It is unknown
Somewhere, somewhere is all know.
Somewhere, the hoary sage cries out,
Somewhere, the prophets all foretold,
Somewhere, priest and people ever shout,
Somewhere-how new the place and yet how
old.
Somewhere, shall ever. ever know,
Fen when this world Of care leave,
Where this bright somewhere is? ifso,
Why doth such mystery round 1t weave?
Somewhere my spirit too will be,
But where? Ny God, ask Thee where?
wilt Thou not tell 1t now to me?

General Debility.

Debility is a term used to denote deficiency
OF blood The nutritive constituents of the
blood are in less than their regular proportion
while the watery part is in excess. Debility is
OF frequent occurrence. IL is incident TO q va
riety of diseases. The lower limbs are apt to
be swollen. The patient is f. ebIe and can not
bear much exertion. The circulation is irreg-
ular but almost always W. ak. Palpitation OF
the hear Is very common symptom. Vic.
lent emotion often throws the heart into the
most tumultuous action. The vital functions
are .languidly performed. The muscular
strength is diminished; fatigue follows moder-
ate or slight exercise. The breathing, though
quiet when at rest, becomes hurried and even
painfully agttated under exertion, as in run
ming, ascending heights, etc. The nervous
system Is often greatly dsordered. Vertigo
dizziness and a feeling of fantness are very
common. Violent and obstinate neuralgic
pains in the head, side, breast, or other parts
of the body, are also frequent attendants upon
the disease. The secretions are sometimes di-
minished. In females the menses are almost
always either suspended or very partially per-
formed. The bile is scanty, and costiveness
with unhealthy excavations from the bowels
and dyspeptic state of the stomach, are ex-
tremely common symptoms.

EASTER THOUGHTS.


In the dim twilight of the temple, where
The Easter buds, scent laden. filed the air
With sweet aroma, and the solemn song,

Stole reVerent stiffness, as with gentle signs
Sins from her sinless lips were soon con-

She murmured, bending toward me as sat,

each side; with this they will not learn the
bad habit of turning the yoke, and will in
short time get so accustomed to it that when
you yoke them together they will receive
the restraint without pulling apart, crowding
or turning the yoke. Use a light sled at
first, increasing slowly and gradually the
weight of the load to teach them to pull.
After they have learned this part, teach
them to back in the same way-nothing but
the sled at first, where it will run easy. and
add load as they increase in knowledge and
ability. Do not leave them until they get
thoroughly handy alone, headed towards the
barn or home. Never start in an awkward
position. Guide with the motion OF the
whip rather than by whipping. III these
points are observed the steers when old

A NEW CLOVER.
A new clover is said to have made its APP
pearance in Tennessee, north Mississippi.
Alabama and Arkansas, and from all &C
counts its advent is a matter of congratula-
ton to the farmers OF the southwest. 1t IS
known as the Japan clover. 1t is small
plant and clings close to the ground, re-
sembling the small milk purslain. The leaf
is somewhat thicker than the common red
clover, but much smaller; is very nutritive
and hardy. 1t is so obstinate and aggressive
that those pests, dogfennel and broomsedge,
are exterminated by il wherever il comes in
contact with them. 1t will grow, like white
clover. on as poor land the prickly pear
inhabits, and, like white clover, takes more
readily to places exposed to the tread of cat
tie. 1t follows along the roads and paths,
enters the old fields and takes possession.
Cattle, horses and sheep devour it greedlly.
1t is the tiniest, humblest of the clover
kind, but if it continues to spread it will be
of vast benefit to the stock raiser. Where it
came from and how it was propagated so
rapidly is question. The people of north
Mississippi say "the Yankees brought it into

AlournIng In France.

As regards mourning, the French
are far more sensible than we are. The
rules Of bowed shutters, and of wood
and Grape habiliments of the hue Of
outer darkness, would appear absurd
to this peculiarly intelligent nation
Their rules on this head are extremely
precise, each shade and style Of mourn
ing being severely regulated. A widow
must wear mourning for two years.
She must wear black wooden stufs,
with collar, cuffs and veil Of Grape, for
one year she must not ereper or friz
her hair, and she must wear a cap in
the house during that period. At the
end of one year she can wear black
silk.trimmed with black lace; this not
very oppressive costume is de rfge1tr
for six months. During the following
six months, all shades of violet, gray
and lilac, are permissible, after which,
her two years mourning having ex-
pired, she can dress as she pleases.-
The mourning for a parent or a child
is to be worn for one year; six months
Of Grape and bombazine, three months
Of grays or purples. For a grand
parent the rule is six months, and for
4 brother or sister four months, the
half Of which period only is to be pass

London.

What huge city London is ? The
latest report Of the English Registrar
General collates some interesting facts
on this point. London now covers 122
square miles-larger even than CON
solidated Pittsburg, but we are far
ahead of it in the matter of debt. It
contains 417,767 inhabited houses
The population in July last was g.
489, 1928, and there were 222, 1856 more
women than men. With radius of
fifteen miles, to include the suburbs,
the population swells to 4,286,607.-
The yearly increase is supposed to be
a little over 1000. OF the men, 100,-
600 odd make livelihood by the prae-
tiee of the learned and semi-learned
professions, 2l1, 900 are in trade, $685.
600 are skilled workmen, $4,000 are
laborers, $4,000 are unclassifed. Of
the women, $50, ,130 help their hus-
bands in the shop, $4,000 are out at
service, $4,000 are in the millinery and
dress making lines, q, 700 are seam
stresses or shirt makers, 44,000 laun-
dresses, $4,000 "tailoresses, 5000 shoe
makers, 5000 bookbinders, 1000 arti-
icial flower makers, 1000 box and
packing case makers, II, ,OO0machinists,
and $4,000 are "gentlewomen." There
are $4,000 boys and girls in the
schools. Less than fifty per cent. of
the inhabitants were born in London.
One Londoner in every six dies in some
charitable institution. In May last year
there were about six hours of sunshine
a day on the average during the three
fall months the average fell to between
one and two hours.

AN INDEX TO CHARACTER. .-Algreat
many wiseacres laugh at what is called
graphtomancy, OF the art of judging
characters by handwriting and yet all
acknowledge that handwriting does in
dicate something. Every one allows a
difference between a man and wo-
mans hand. We hear people speak of
vulgar hand, a gentlemanly hand, and
50 forth. II had once" said Arch
bishop Whately, "a remarkable proof
that handwriting is sometimes, at least,
an index to character. / had pupil
at Oxford, whom liked in most re-
spects greatly /; there was but one thing
about him which seriously dissatisfied
me, and that, as I often told him, was
his handwriting it was not bad as
writing, but it had mean, shufling
character in it, which always inspired
me with a feeling of suspicion. While
he remained at Oxford l saw nothing
to justify this suspicion; but tran
saction in which he afterwards engaged,
and in which | saw more of his char
acter than l had done before, convinced
me that the writing had spoken truly"
A still more remarkable case was that
of Mr.. Dash, celebrated graphtoman-
Ger. While visiting the house of a
friend he met a lady who very much
pleased him. His hostess, knowing
that he was mistaken in her character,
procured a slip of this lady's writing
(haying ascertained he had never seen
it), and gave it to him one evening as
the handwriting of friend of hers
whose character she wished him to de-
cipher. The next morning at break
fast the lady whose writing he had un-
consciously been examining made some
observation which particularly struck
Mr.. Dash as seeming to betoken very
noticeable and truthful character. He
expressed his admiration of her senti-
ment very warmly, adding at the same
time to the lady Of the house, "Not so,
by the way, your friend, and he put
into her hand the slip of writing of her
guest which she had given him the
evening before, over which he had
written the words, Fascinating, false,
and hollow-hearted." The lady of the
house kept the secret, and Mr.. Dash |
never knew that the writing on which |
he had pronounced SO severe a judg-
ment was that of the friend he so great |
ly admired.
