that tho wheat crop ot Minnesota Is "half rot

graph 'spafch in the fire
If mother just hneC, she'd come, if twas on

She'd take my poor head, that is splitting this
very minute,
And she'd sing, There's happy land" and
the hymn that has Darling" in it.

When there all the outdoors to live in, and
nothing to do but play;
Somehow you ,. forget your mother-that is,
Though. if she were here, 1 suppose that L
shouldn't mention II.
But obi there's difference, Dolly. when your
head is so full OF pains
That Ccepting the acne that is in 'em) there's
nothing left of your brains.
Remember how nice it fees, Dolly, to have
your head patted and "poored.''
Ache? Why, ache all over, and the bed is as
hard as board.
Nurse says Its n sweet, lovely morning." 1t
may be for all that care
There is just one spot in this great wide world
that is pretty wish was there.
l can see the white roses climbing all over the
low porch door,
And the daisies and buttercups growing-I
never half loved them before.
And mOther-lets see! she is standing in that
very door. no doubt
She loves to look out in the morning and see
what the world is about
In pale-bluc sonnet hing or other-a loose sort
OF a wrapper, guess
AS If a few yards of sky had been taken to
make dress.
And up from the pine woods yonder comes a
beautiful wOOdsy smell,
And the breeze keeps a limiting of MayflOwers

And think most likely the robins have built
in the cherry-tree,
And by and by there'll be birdies-and shall
not be there to see
Did you hear any noise, Dolly? Speak, Dolly,
you little witch.
As if somebody was laughing-or crying!
couldn't tell which.
we've kept from crying, so far; we've chOked
but we wouldn't cry
I've just talked it out to you, dear; 1 had to, or
else I'd die.
But IL that is you, mother land know by your
lips that it Isl,
I'll just squeeze your head off you think that

But yOu know it was inconsistencies almost killed

And the preparations for turning

Well, the most of them are hum

was brought to me by a dealer who
wished to test it chemically ere he in

solution sulphurous acid gas in water
and utterly worthless. 1t sold for 81

"Why is it that these poisonous min

'sBecause all vegetable preparations
are too light and not sufficiently adhe-
sive. For such purposes bismuth and
lead are the best known agents and the
| most commonly employed"
The last authority consulted by the
reporter was noted physician and sur
geon. He said:
"Cosmetic is term used formerly by
| Hippocrates, the father of medicine, in
the sense of adornment, and was applied
even to the bracelets worn upon the
wrists. Now it signifies in common
usage the art of embellishing and pre-
serving beauty. Among the means usu-
| ally employed to effect this end are the
oxides Of lead, bismuth, mercury and
arsenic.''

used?"

Belladonna. and arsenic are exten.

Poisonous Face Powders.

A woman recently died in the ST.
Louis Hospital from lead poisoning, the
effect of using face powders, as believed
by the physician in charge. A Globe
Democrat reporter gives the following
account of an interview with a physician
in reference to the case:
ssWhat are the active ingredients con-
tanned in the face powders and rouge
commonly sold in the drug stores?''
&c Bismuth and white lead.'
6 Is not arsenic also used?''
ssIt may be occasionally, from a mis-
taken notion of its properties. 1t will not
act in the way desired if applied exter-
nally, but when taken internally in small
doses it clarifies the skin. Many wom-
en-, to add to their beauty, take arsenic
powders. 1t is a dangerous habit; like
opium eating, when once acquired, diff
ficult to shake off, and if persisted in is
finally fatal to health and life. The
powders are not sold in the stores, but
can be easily obtained by such as de-
sire them.''
"What is the character and effect of
bismuth aud white leadp'
"Well, they are mineral poisons, like
arsenic. Bismuth, in the form of nj
trate, commonly known as white bis
muth, is probably The oftenest used in
compountling powders and rouge. 1t
has remarkable adhesive properties and
is less injurious than white lead. Bis
muth is locally hurtful when applied ex-
ternany, but not an active poison like
lead. | recently made an analysis
of a face powder sent to me by q we'll
known society lady. 1t was composed
almost wholly of pure lead, in the high
est degree injurious. Lead is readily
absorbed into the system. 1t is cumu-

The Flower of the Holy Ghost.

There is at present in the Conservato-
nv of Golden Gate Park an attraction Of
unusual interest. The PeriSte,fa Et0iG,
or Holy Ghost flower, which recently
commenced to bud, has within a few
DAYS blossomed. In the center of the
blossom of this extraordinary plant is,
in miniature, the figure of dove, the
color being of snowy whiteness, except
ING the wings, which are tinged with
brown, in the attitude of drinking from
a little white font. The larger petals
of the flower bend about the remarkable
figure like an oval frame around some
piece of delicate wax-work. The plant
now in the east wing of the conservatory
is remarkably large specimen, the
stock on which are the blossoms being
five and q half feet tall, and having fiji
teen well defined buds-another stalk,
growing from the same bulb, being five
feet tall and having twelve buds. This
remarkable plant will continue to put
forth blossoms for from six weeks to two
months, when the parent bulb will die,
leaving two small bulbs that will, if
properly cared for, put forth stalks and
bloom on nearly the same day in August
next year rs the parent blossomed on
this. The bulbs of this extraordinary
plant first came to this city from the
Isthmus of Panama, where it is very
common, the residents calling it "El
Espiritu Santo," the Holy Spirit. Its
growth depends greatly on the soil in
which it is planted and the temperature
of the atmosphere, warm, moist tenn
perature being necessary to cause it to
bloom.-Sdn Francisco Gail.
