rTbe following old poem has lost none of
its freshness and beauty in its rounds of
,aars 1t tells a story that is realized only
by a few.l
Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above
woman IS heart and a woman's life
And a woman's wonderful love-
Did you know you have asked for this price
less thing
AS child might ask for toy?
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of boy
You have written my lesson of duty out
Man-like you have questioned me.
Now stand at he bar of my womans soul
Until shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be whole
Trcauire your heart to be as true as Gods
stars,
And as pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef
Irequire a far better thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for stockings
and shirts,
look for q man and q king,
A king for a beautiful realm called home,
And man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as He did at first,
And say of his work, at Is good"
am airand young, but the rose will fade
From my soft, young cheek one day?
Will you love me then, mid the falling
leaves,
As you did mid the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
Imay launch my all on its tide?
Aloving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
require all things that are good and true,
All things that man should be;
If you give this all would stake my life
To be all you demand ofme.
If Won cannot do thiS-a laundresS and cook
You can hire with little to pay;
But woman IS heart and a woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

Refinement in the domestic circle
is often due to the elegance of home
adornment. The harmonious blend
ing of color and light in a room has
a powerful influence on the mind,
and the tea-table with its glittering
silver-ware tacinates the eye and
imbues the mind with satisfaction
and comfort. Our stock of silver
and tableware surpasses all pre-
vious exhibits.

mustard which remains on the
SKIN, and thin layer of cotton
wool can then be applied. This
will perhaps increase the smartins
for few moments, but will soon
subdue it altogether. A mustard
paste should never be applied to a
young child, unless by express direc-
ton from a physician, the skin of
children being so very delicate that
severe blistering might readily be
caused. If the pain is distributed
overa larger area than is covered
by the paste, the latter can be shift
ed about.
HE DRY CUP.-A remedy which
has gone far too much out of fash
ion, and is of special service where
pain is confined to small SPOT. is
the dry cup" Any tumbler-pre-
terably small one-will serve per-
fectly as well as a cup, and its ap-
pllcatlon is not only extremely
easy but also unattended with any
danger whatever, provided that
the following directions are OBJ
served.
Make sure that the tumbler can
be so applied to the seat of pain
that its edge in the whole circum-
ference comes closely in contact
with the sl1insin very thin people
this is sometimes a source of diff
Guilty, but it is an essential point,
as the principle Of a cup is that of a
vacuum.
After having noted the exact
spot on which you wish to apply
the cup, light a small bit of paper
with a match, drop the paper into
the cup when fully ablaze, allow it
to burn freely moment to exhaust
the air in the glass, and then-the
paper being still afire-gently turn
the cup over, apply it to the spot
desired. The flame from the paper
will Immediately 60 out, and the
flesh will rise up a certain distance
IN the glass to supply the place of
the air which was used by the burn
ing paper.
A cup may be allowed to remain
from fifteen to thirty minutes, and
then removed by drawing the skin
at one edge of the cup in one direc-
ton, and at the same time fitting
the cup in the opposite direction.
A dark discoloration is produced on
the skin by the large amount of
blood which is drawn into the part.
The great secret in the successful
use of the cup by this method lies
in not using too large a bit of paper,
a piece a third the size of bank
bill is ample. The only possible
danger is of setting the patients
clothes afre, and this could only
happen through the grossest care
lessness. Ten minutes practice on
oneself should amply suffice to
: render any reasonably intelligent
person an expert in the use of the
dry cup. Lumbago, also, or rheu-
matism in the small of the back
can often thus be wonderfully re-
lieved.
PoULTIcEs.-When pain in the
chest is diffuse and of more moder-
ate intensity a poultice will often be
found of great service. Poultices
may be made of many different ma
terials, but / shall speak only of
those of faxseed, oatmeal, bread
and starch. The ingredients of the
three latter are in every house,
while faxseed is kept by grocers
and druggists alike.
1t is not quite SO easy to make a
qood poultice as it seems, as there IS
a wrong as well as a right way Of
doing everything. | venture to give
short and simple directions in the
persuasion that such may be of use.
