Washed-Out Hair.

There is sort of pallid, chalky COM
plexion which the novelists call a
'washed-out complexion" 1t is ghast-
ly enough, and no mistake. Washed
out, faded, discolored, or parti-colored
hair is almost as repulsive and melan-
choly. Parker's Hair Balsam will re-
store your hair to it's original color,
whatever it was; brown, auburn or
black. Why wear moss on your head,
when you may easily have lively, shin
ing hair. d

last night found the vicIcts
You sent me once acruss the sea;
From gardens that tue winter frcts,
In summer lands they came to me.
Still fragrant Il the English earth,
Still humid from the IF, zen dew,
To me they spoke of Christmas mirth,
The, spoke of England. spoke Of You.
The flowers are scentless, black and sere,
The perfume long has passed away:
The sea whose rides are year by year,
Is set between US, chill and gray.
But you have reached n windlcss age,
The haven of II happy cline:
You do net dread the winters rage,
Although we missed the summer time.
And like the flowers breath over sea,
Across the gulf of time and pain,
Tonight returns the memory,
OF love that lived not all in vain.

Marvellous Engineering.

The London Inner Circle railroad is
q marvellous feat of engineering skill,
says the Philadelphia Press. It runs
throughout its entire distance under
the busiest center of the largest city in
the world, and the operations attend
ing the excavation and construction
have proceeded without serious injury
in or interruption of business or traffic.
Quicksands have been passed through,
beds of old rivers spanned, lofty ware
houses and massive buildings secured
while their foundations have been
undermined. and an intricate network
of gas and water pipes sustained until
supports had been applied to them
from below. Added to this. the six
main sewers had several times to be
reconstructed. Day and night the
work has been carried on for eighteen
months, and now the engineers are
able to announce that their tunnel Is
complete. The laying of the rails and
the building of the stations are the
only portions of the immense work
that remains to be done, and in very
short time trains will be passing over
the. whole of this. wonderful sub
terranean road.

WINTER.

(From the December Csntury.)
o winter thou art not that haggard Lear,
With stormy beard and countenance of woe
Raving amain, or dumhly crouching low,
In hoary desolation Knocked withfear.
To me thou art the white queen of the year
A stately virgin in her robes of snow,
With royal lilies crowned, and all aglow
With holy charms and gems celestial clear.
Nor dost thou come i'm barren majesty,
Thou hast thy dover Of sunbeams thrice re
fined;
Nor songless, but with cheerful minstrelsy
Rung from the singing harp-strings of the

And an, with such sweet dreams-such

OF flowers, and birds, and loves divine

In Tact, he was SO well satisfied that the
