AUTUMN Sparingly intro
duced. autumn leaves have a lovely dec
oIative use which is all their own. Too
many Of them in an apartment vulgar
ize it and spoil each other, besides gath
ering dust and holding it. A few leaves
or vines, perfectly pressed and daIntlly
disposed, are very charming with their
whisper Of outdoor breeze and sunshine.
No better way Of pressing either ferns
or autumn leaves has been discovered
than the simple device Of laying them
SmoofhIy as s0en after getting them as
possible, between the leaves of an old
or between newspapers. A heavy
weight should be laid on them. and the
papers should be changed every three or
four days
when thoroughly pressed" says an
authority on the subject, They should be
wiped over, using for the purpose
piece OF soft cloth, with mixture con-
sisting of three ounces Of boiled ilnseed
oil. and half All ounce of white varuiSh.
Ironing, either with or without melted
wax, changes the color, and makes. them

The Proud Poppies.

Tksre bloomsd in a lovely garden
A group Of poppies gay;
A mother and grOwn-up daughters,
And splendid clothes had they.
Just see how they all admire az,
Because SO gxily dressedl
Our robes Of scarlet and purple
BY far outshine the rest.
The rese's satin seems faded,
Marigold's yellow crown
Looks dim, and pray who could fanel
LIly's col0rless gown?
SO they shook their silksn dresses,
And spread THEN skirts out wide,
And danced in the golden sunshine,
In flutter Of foolish pride.
Just then q passing zephyr
Gave them a playful shake;
oh, poppiesl without your garments,
In dire confusion lay.
Quickly their beauty had vanished,
Gone was their silly pride,
And nobody cared for the pOppies,
Whether they lived or died.
The lesson my story teaches
The children have surely guessed
Better be modest and humble
Than ever so gaily dressed.

the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure
diseases Of the scalp, and the first successful
storer of faded gray hair to its natural color,
growth, and youthful beauty. 1t has had many
intators, but none have so fully met all the re-
quirements needful for the proper treatment of
the hair and scalp. HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has
steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and
usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its un-
paralleled success can be attributed to but one
->use: the entire yJui!fineHt Of its promises.
proprietors have often been surprised at the
receipt of orders from remote countries where
they had never made effort for its introduction.
The uso for a short time OF HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the personal
appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from all i'm
purities, cures all humors, fever and dryness,
and thus prevents badness 1t stimulates the
weakened glands, and enables them to push for

this article are not transient, like those of alco
holie preparations, but remain a long time, which
