And laid 1t by with care;
] folded 1t close with lavender leava
In napkin fine and fair.
''It is far too costly a robe, I said,
"F0r one like me to wear"
80 never at morn or evening,
put my garment on;
II lay by itself under clasp and key
In the perfume0 dusk alone,
It's wonderful broidery hidden,
Till many day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portal,
There were friends who sat with me,
And, clad In SObereSt raiment
bore them company;

Though its splendor none might see.
There were poor who stood at my portal,
There were orphaned sought my care;
1gave them tendereSt pity,
But had nothing besides 10 spare;
i had only the beautiful garment,
And the ralment for daily wear.
At last, on feast-day'5 coming,

would please myself with the luster
or its shifting cOlOrS fine:
j would walk with pride In the marvel

SO out from the dust bore IT.
The lavender fell away
And fold on fold held 1t up
To the searching light OF day.
Alas! the glory had pcr,shed
While there In its place 1t lay.
Who seeks for the fadeless beauty,
Must seek for the use that seals
TO the grace OF constant Blessing
The beauty that use reveals,
For into the folded robe alone,
The moth with its blghting steals.

Only Those Born With the Bright Iris
Able to BE At the Tip-TOp Of style.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
''TO be in the fashion to-day you must have
dark hair, blue eyes, not particle Of color and
lips as red as the cherry" Thus speaks promi-
nent writer on the fashions. The artificial pro-
duction of the black eye is a matter Of every day
occurrence. The best Of friends occasionally do
little Of this kind of tinting for one another
but from black or dark brown, or gray, or hazel,
or green to blue, is horse, that is to say an eve
of another color, and at this stage of the new
era in beauty 1t does almost seem impossible
that the ingenuity of man would be able
to accomplish the result. Such was the
opinion Of DR.. A. d. Williams, an oculist.
to whom the subject was preached this morn
ing by Post Dispatch reporter.
''There is no art by which the color of the iris
can be changed" said DIR. Williams s"The iris
consists OF a curtain which Is on the inside of
the eye and the back part Of which is supplied
with pigment which varies in color, as we see
daily. and is in characteristic harmony with the
hair and complexion of the owner The only
change which can be effected in the appearance
OF the eye Is accomplished by the use Of bella
donna. Ladies who have light eyes, which they
wish to darken, drop into them a solution Of
belladonna, which has the effect of largely dilat-
ing the pupil. The light color of the iris is thus
displaced by the deep black of the pupil and the
appearance OF the eye fs greatly changed. Many
ladies practice this habit, which is not harmful
although 1t causes considerable discomfort
After lady has given her eyes dose of bella
donna, it's immediate action Is to dilate the
pupils and they remain so, no matter how in
tense the light may be. Thus you see the BALI
room beauty who has increased her charms in
this way suffer considerably, her eyes admitting
such quantity Of brlliane light as frequently
to render her almost blind for the time being. =
'How long does this unnatural dilation
last?"
Generally about week. Where q yery
weak solution has been employed it will pass
away in couple of days. Very few ladies,
however, who employ belladOnna use the weak
er solution"
'But blue eyes are positively unattainable?"
Yes, sir. There is no process by which the
natural color of the iris can be changed. The
pigment cannot be reached in any way that is
| now known to science"
Gould not the ladies wear blue eyes over
their brown ones?"
Yes, they could-in story, not otherwise.
| heathy eye would not allow of the wearing
OF iaise one over it. There would not be room
Ior u. Inc artificial eye can only be placed over
one wnich mas been shrunke1 BY disease. No;
mere Is no way by which the color Of the eye
can oe changed. none whatever"

Race and Color.

From lecture by E. B.. Tylor. in Nature.
1t is now well understood that the causes of
race-cOlOr are not so simple as Hippocrates
thought when he described the nomad Scythian
as burned tawny by the cold. But the study of
anthropologists is still to notice the characters
which mark of the white, yellow, brown and
black races. and to connect Herewith the effects
of climate and mode of life The analogy OF
fair or blonde skin to partial albinism is strik-
ing, and possibly points to some similarity of
cause. A book has even been written by DIR.
Poesche to explain thus the formation of the
white race. The fair whites, according to this
author, are semi-albinos whose ancestors were
once brOwner race in Northern ASIA but
turned fair in the swampy regions Of the Dni-
eper, where men and beasts grow light In color.
horses gray. the leaves Of the trees pale, and ali
nature dull and colOrless. Such imaginative
speculation Is an example to be avoided by an
thrOpOlOgists, and yet the resemblance of
blonde to semi-alblnO skin is one which when
worked out by careful observation will doubt
less lead to discovery. yet more striking
case of the morbid appearance Of race-character
is seen In 'brOnzed skim" u symptom of "Addi-
sons disease" Here the resemblance to mu-
lattO complexion is 30 marked that In the re-
ports Of cases it is quite regular thing for the
physician to mention that he asked the patient
If he was Of negro blood. Even that well-known
negro feature, the comparatively light tint of
palms and soles, was there. though there was
wanting one OF the points which anthropolO-
gists look to when they suspect negro ancestry,
namely. the yellOwness of what we characters.
tically call the white" of the eye. It is not
however, on merely superficial comparison that
this analogy depends. Anthropologists, un-
fortunately, do not always hear Of medical
works bearing on their studies. and it Is but
lately that / learned from Dr. Wilson Fox that
an interesting microscopic section Of ''bronzed
skin was published years ago by Mr.. Hutchin-
son In the Pathological Transactions. All who
compare this with Kolliker's section of normal
negro skin must admit the extraordinary simi-
larity OF celebration in the manner in which the
deep brown pigment cells and grains line the
surface OF the papille Of the derms or true
skin. shall not be charged with propoundine
here theory that black men are white men
thus transformed, tor, indeed one incident OF
| the obscure disease In question is that the ia,
tient always dies. The Importance of the com
parison lies in its bridging over the physiologi
| cal differences Of race by showing that morbid
action may bring about In one race results more
or less analogous to the normal type II
| another.

Big Names for Children.

There ought to be some punishment for
parents who burden their children with big
names. Sometimes boy has the gumption to
rage. Advised by some old won en- q pair of
Kentucky parents named boy Gamaliel, and
when the Old women would come the old women
would say: "Where's Gammy? We want to
see little Gammy!" "Gammy," filled with dis
gust, avoided the old women, and one day he
was sent to school. what is your name little
bOy?" asked the teacher sJohn!" boldly spoke
up the boy. The spell Of the old women was
broken. "John" became his name at school,
then at home, and to this day he is tJOhn.''

LOnOOn SPECIAL.
It is learned here with great surprise that
many rumors have lately been circulated in
America to the effect that the Queen contem-
plated abdication. The English people have
never imagined that her majesty entertained
any such intention, and the American rumors
have caused much amusement In court circles.
The temper OF the queen Is too well known here
to admit of any speculation concerning the royal
succession not based upon her demise. In no
state Of health ever reached by Victoria up to
the present time has she ever given a single
indication of desire to abdicate. Her whole
career, domestic and public. all her actions,
state and trivial, have shown that her
possessed fully developed love OF power
and q tireless disposition to rule.
The American rumors of abdication were
quickly spread over the United Kingdom and
reached the royal party in Scotland, where 1t
had been announced her majesty had deter
mined to remain until after June g. Immedi-
ately it was given out that her majesty had
greatly improved in health and would return
from BalmOral next week and reside at Windsor
for a few days. Her health, it is said, is better
than 1t has been for some time and her mental
depression is somewhat relieved. To-day it is
officially stated that the queen has declared her
intention of coming to London and being pres
ent at the volunteer review at Hyde Park. 1t Is
also reported that her majesty will give series
of splendid drawing-rOOm receptions at the end
Of July. After these receptions her majesty is
to GO to Osborne. thence to the continent, visit
Ing Baden-Baden in the autumn. The royal
physicians are not sanguine as to their patient
being able to go through with this program, but
the queen says 1t is her royal wish to try and
there's no more to say. Society admits that it
understands that all this royal exertiOn is to be
made for the purpose of showing that the royal
strength has returned and England is to con-
tinue to have queen.

How to Learn to Swim.

FROM the American Agricultural.
Wade out until the water is up to your breast,
then turn your face towards the shore and try
to swim towards it. You know that the water
between you ana the shore Is not over your
depth. as you have just waded through it; this
will give you confidence to strike out Conf
dence is great help in learning. The chief use
of the various aids In learnng-the swimming
plank ,cOrks or the presence of an older person.
is to give the learner confidence. A plank
few feet long, on which the beginner can
place one or both hands, is sometimes of use
COrks or ltfe-preservers of any kind that
are fastened to the body we do not think

In TACT. no adm order to keep his head
above water. if he only has confidence. If an
older brother or other friend will hold his hand
in such manner that you can rest your chin
upon 1t, you can soon learn the proper move
ment of the arms and legs. Another method is
to have strap or band of webbing or other
material around the chest, just under the arms
A few feet OF stout cord has one end attached to
the band and the other end fastened to a light,
stout pole. In this manner a strong person can
help the learner while standing on the land
The chief use of this continuance is to give the
beginner confidence. Those who undertake to
aid boy in learning to swim should resist all
temptation to play tricks. No matter how
slight ducking may be given, 1t startles the
learner, and he is thereafter fearful that 1t may
be repeated.
