MY LITTLE SWEETHEART.
BY ANNA SHIELDS,

Uncle Harry, may I be your sweet
heart? asked Marian Sterling, lifting her
big brown eyes to mine, with all the inno-
cent frankness of her eight years of maid
enhood
Indeed you may" cried, stopping to
lift her to my knee.
"No,'' she said, drawing back, eff I am
your sweetheart I mustn't sit on your lap,
but beside you. You may kiss me,
though, all the same, and call me May, but
l will call you Harry. Mamma says you
are not our really, truly uncle, but we call
you so because we love you''
''That is So" 1 answered: sbut if you
are not to love me when you are my sweet
heart, I shall back out.''
"Oh, but will! You see Agnes has
Tom Irving to love her, and Janey has
Tracy Hill.' I WINGED there, as I had
tried very hard to fill Tracy Hills place.

ued May, 'but then I thought of you, and
perhaps you would bring me flowers and
tell me l added to their beauty by wearing
tnem, ana sugar plums, and say my lips
were sweeter than sugar almonds, and
take me to walk and to ride, and al ways
always be lovely to me!''
But asked gravely, "what are you
to give me?''
"Oh, I will work you a pair of slippers
when am big enough, and I'll kiss some
of the sugar plums and let you eat them,
and III wear the flowers, and if there is
any song you like very much 1 will prac-
tice it and learn it, if the accompaniment
is not too hard"
"All right. It'sa bargain. You are my
little sweetheart and your devoted ador-
er from this day." 1 cried. but it seems
to me, May. that for lady of your age
you are pretty well posted on the sweet
heart question"

My Neighbor's Baby.

Across in my neighbours window,
With its drapings of satin and lace.
see meath his flowing ringlets,
A baby's innocent face,
His feet in crimson slippers,
Are tapping the polished glass,
And the crowd in the street look upward,
And nod and smile as they pass.
Justhere in mig cottage window,
Catching flies IN the sun,
With a patched and faded apron,
Stands my own little one.
His face is as pure and handsome
AS the baby's over the way,
And he keeps my heart from breaking
At'my toiling, every day.
Sometimes when the day is ended,
And sit in the dusk to rest,
With the face of my sleeping darling
Rugged close to my lonely breast,
Ipray that my neighbours baby
May not catch heavens roses all,
But that some may crown the forehead
OF my loved one as they fall.
And when draw the stockings
From his little weary feet,
And kiss the rosy dimples
In his limbs, so round and sweet
I think of the dainty garments
Some little chi ldren wear,
And that my God withholds them
From mine, so pure and fair.
May God forgive my envy
know not what said;
My heart is crushed and troubled
My neighbours boy is dead!
I saw the little coffin
AS they carried it out to-day;
A mothers heart is breaking
In the mansion over the way,
The light is fair in my window;
The flowers bloom at my door;
My boy is chasing the sunbeams
That dance on the cottage floor
The roses of health are blooming
On my darling's cheek to-day,
But the baby is gone from the window
OF the mansion over the way.

A Barber on Badness.

Speaking of the credulity of many peo-
pie touching the efficacy of hair 1onics, an
intelligent French halrdresser says:
Very often the hair falls ont after sick
ness. In such cases it generally grows
again without the aid of any hair tonic
whatever; but when it falls from natural
causes it never grows again. The celebra-
ted DR.. Bazin, who was formerly physician
In chief of the st. Louis Hospital at Paris,
and who is known throughout the world as
the most learned specialist for affections of
the skin, told me one day that there was
nothing that could make the hair grow af-
ter the badness had come on gradually
This believe firmly for, if there was any
thing Of the kind, we would not see so
many New York doctors with heads as
completely destitute of hair as the backs
of turtles. I am even persuaded that
these gentlemen would follow the example
of those Greek heroes who, under the
leadership of Jason, made voyage to
Colchls to bring back the Golden Fleece,
Modern Argonauts, the doctors, would
consider themselves happy If they could
bring back from such voyage the secret
of restorin the human fleece.
[ don't think I am far from the truth
when say that during the past twenty
five years that have practlced the pro-
fession of hairdresser, have made the
trial upon different bald heads of more
than five hundred different hair tonics,
and l ana bound to admit that 1 never saw
single head the hair Of which was restor-
ed after badness. At the end of so many
failures, am completely undeceived as to
the value of all the preparations, and
would not now recommend any one of
them, because l would be afraid to COM
nit the crime that is designated by the
words, containing money under false pre-
tenses.o In my pathological studies upon
the hair have found that people who per-
spire great deal from the head
are apt to get bald. The bad habit of
wearing hats indoors is also very hurtful
to the hair. In 1906, after the famous bat
tie of Jena, in which the Prussians were
completely defeated by Napoleon L., Lar
ny, the celebrated military surgeon, per-
ceived that many of the German prisoners
were completely bald. Surprised, he made
inquiries as to the cause Of this, and he
found that they owed their badness to the
shape-as homely as unhealthy-of their
caps. The foul air of their head gear,
having no issue, destroyed the vitality of
the hair.

DON'T BE A DOWDY.-Do not disdain
dress and the little niceties of the toilet;
you may be very clever neutrality-suspicious.
even intellectual; but for all that you can
not afford to be careless in these matters.
No woman, with any sense of self-respect,
should allow herself to sink into dowdy !;
but whatever be her trials, vexations and
disappointments, she should strive to dress
as we'll as her position will allow. Do not
imagine that we are advocating extrava-
gance; on the contrary, simplicity is our
motto, which, if united to good taste, will
be found more effective in the eyes of hus-
band, father, brother, friend, than the
most costly attire which the mllliner's art
can invent. A simple bow in the hair may
look quite as coquettish and fascinating as
a diamond aigrette; and a cotton dress, if
fresh and prettily made, may be as becom
ing as silk, indeed, we have often seen a
cotton eclipse silk. We mention this to il
lustrate the fact that riches are little COM
pared to taste, and that every woman may
dress well if she chooses-that, in fact, it
is her duty to herself and those around her
to dress as we'll as her position will allow.
Those who accuse US who write of the
fashions and you who read, of frivolity and
triv1ality, forget that it is just as easy to
dress we'll as it is to dress badly, and that
to dress out of fashion requires as much
expenditure of thought and care as to dress
in it.

AN EsTIMABLE LADY.-ManY of the

are notable only for their oddity, but here
is one which contains in brief compass a
whole nest of Scripture lessons. 1t is en-
graved on the slab which covers the grave
of an old lady in Massachusetts, ga Sarah

a Lois to her grandchildren, a Lydia to
Gods ministers, a Martha to her guests, a

her children must have risen up and called
