never had headache. and was never
subject to constipation. As these

might not go amiss. Many noted
physicians assert that it is useless
and even hazardous to always be

purgative, one that will cool the

MAKING COFFEE.

More mistakes can be made in
carrying on this process than al
most any other; things that ought

that ought to be are not. It is easy
to make these mistakes; there cones

Suicide by Imagination.

One evening a short time ago handsome
and well-dressed young lady, living with her
father well up toward the summit of Mob
Hill, hastily entered joys drug store, on the
corner of Mason and Post streets, and asked
for some arsenic She asked for two bits
worth, saying she wanted to kill some trou-
blesome cats with it. Noticing her unusual
agitation, Mr.. Joy gave the young Indy u
tablespoonful of preciptated chalk-a harm
less powder, resembling arsenic.
The young lady left the store, and carefully
hiding her purchase, returned home. Going
to her room, unobserved by any ofthe house
hold, she prepared for death, for the arsenic
was intended as means ofsucide. Certain
letters were hastily looked over and arrang-
ed, whispered prayer for forgiveness fol-
lowed, and with desperate determination the
whole of the contents of the druggists pack
age was swallowed. The unhappy young
woman lay down in her bed in a delrium of
excitement Her brain was in a whirl, and
her blood rushed and throbbed through every
VEN.
She felt that death was approaching, and
confident that the work of tho deadly drug
was too far advanced to be counteracted, she
left her room and, gliding into the parlor,
announced to her father and young gentle
man there what she had done. The gentle
men were wild with CONSERVATION. While
the father supported the now sinking form
of his daughter, the young gentleman raced
in desperate haste to joys drug store. The
druggist explained that no antdote was re-
quired that the young lady had only taken
a spoonful of chalk
"But she is dying-unabe to stand !" gasp
ed the young man.
That's the effect of imagination. Explain
to her the true state of the case and she will
recover"
The young man fastened back with the
joyful intelligence. The would-be suicide,
resting in the arms of her distracted father
was sinking rapidly. Her recovery, which
was amazingly rapid, wa hastened by her
rage at the druggist
at is not the first time have saved a life
in that way" Mr.. Joy said to reporter
"a woman came in here one day and asked
for morphine, and gave her some sulphate
cinchona, which resembles it in appearance,
but is harmless stimulant.
IAN hour afterwards the woman's sister
rushed in here and accused me of aiding q
suicide. "My sister has gone away in rage
to take the poison you gave her" 1t after
wards appeared that would-be suicide went
out on the hills, took the DOSE and lay down
to die. After waiting for some time, and re-
covering from the terrific excitement the act
caused, she felt an unconquerable desire to
return home and get square meal, for the
stuff gave her is famous appetizer

The man who gets bit twice by the same
dog is better adapted for that kind of bust,
ness than any other.
There is a great deal of religion in this
world that is like fe-preseryer, only put on
at the moment ofdanger, and then half the
time put on hind side before.
Experience is q school where man learns
what big fool he has been.
The man who doesn't believe in any here.
after has a dreadfully mean opinion of him
self and his chances.
There are two kinds of fools in the world
those who can't change their opinions and
those who won't.
A good doctor is gentlemen to whom we
pay three dollars visit for advising us to
eat less and exercise more.
Out in the world men show us two sides
to their characters; by the fireside only one.
The world is filling up with educated fools;
mankind read too much and learn too little.
Every man has his follies and oftentimes
they are the most interesting things he has

THE COMING OF THE GRASS.

THE COMING OF THE GRASS.
Whence cometh the grass
The sudden, secret grass?
From what deep world invisible,
What subterranean citadel,
What armOry of elhn land.
Comes forth that swiftly marshaled band,
That vision Of unwarlike spears,
lnnumerable as the heavenly years?
How cometh the grass ...
The irresistible grass!
We know not how, we cannot tell
The moment of that miracle
We know not when, we know not how:
We know the earth was bare, and now
That pleasantly the footsteps pass
Above the yielding emerald of the grass.
Where cometh the grass
The all-abounding grass:
Along the hills, the meadow sweet,
The riverside the village street;
In forest hooks its tassels wave;
Its patient green cnfods the grave;
Beside the cottage home doth press
The tender, faithful grass with mute caress.
Why cometh the grass
The bright untirng grass,
That down the ages doth repeat
With every year its idyl sweet?
To teach the truth declared for thee,
BY gracious lips in Galilee:
HE careth." Then, when doubts harass,
Heed thou the wise, soft whispers of the grass.
- -
TEARS.
Is it raining, little flower?
Be glad of rain
Too much rain would wither thee
Twill shine again.
The clouds arc very black, it's true,
But Just behind them shines the blue.
Art thou weary, tender heart?
BE glad of pain;
In sorrow sweetest things will grow,
As flowers in rain.
God watches, and thou wilt have sun
When clouds their perfect work have done.
