Storm Si1nais.

As the coming of great storm is her aided by the display of cautiouary signals, so is the approach of that dread and fatal disease, Consun unption of the Lungs, usually announced in advance by pimples, blotches, erruptions, ulcers. glandular swellings, and kindred outward mauifes- tations of the internal blood poison, which. if not promptly expelled from the system, attacks the delicate tissues of the lungs, causing them to ulcerate and break down. Dr. Pierce's "Colden Medical Discovery" is the great remedy for this, as for all diseases having their origin in bad blood. It improves the appetlie and digestion, increases nutrition and builds up the wasted system.

Beneath its folds of gray, And softly to his eyelids pressed, Then fastened on the black crosscrest, A slender wild.rose spray; And knelt again to pray. sy some mysterious power that wills, To the Gray Friars there came scene that stilled the linnet trills, And brought again the far blue hills, Of their beloved Spain, And made them boys again. Dull toll, sharp pain, hard sacrifice, For one brief spell were o'er; Again they looked in mother eyes, ASd saw the tower and turret rise, Above the tawny shore, That they must know no more. 0 holy friars, the human tears, That down your brown cheeks stray, Were earnest of work that clears Our history's dark page through long years 0, friars of order gray, Touched by wild-rose sprayl,

Mir. Gladstone and his followers would have had triumphant maj ority, and be able to carry the Liberal program me complete. But here comes in the most important factor of all. AS kichelieu says to the king, of Cromwell: "A great man has arisen in England "-Par- nell His triumph is complete. He holds both parties at his mercy. The scales of power are in his hand. In presence of this great fact speculation concerning the Radical programme is vain. The ques- ton of Ireland overshadows all. Nothing o;;se will be heard of. Not even the re- fom of the rules of procedure of the house, which is a crying necessity, can be accomplished except by arrangement with the uncrowned king of Ireland" The natural course would be an alliance be- tween Mir. Gladstone and Mir. Parnell, when probably a few of the Whigs- Goschen and Harrington, would go sulk- ing to their tents. Rosebery and Har- court, and even Granville, if he does not finally retire, which is probable, may be depended upon, however, to remain with the advanced wing, which is headed by Chamberlain, Morley, Dilke and Ire velyan. Even with this alliance it is probable that an appeal would have to be made to the country next year upon the one vital question of home rule for Ire land; and as the Liberals would then have the Irish vote, the result could not be doubtful.
 But neither Mfr. Gladstone nor the mar quis of Salisbury, not even Parnell, nor any other man, can tell what combina- ton the kzleidoscone of British uoIitics is to form during the next sixty days. It

The business of hairpin-making seems
only jlst beginning to amount to any i'm
portance as an industry in this country.
For years the English and French con-
:rolled their manufacture.
It seems that the machinery used is of
d delicate and intricate character, as the
prites at which pins are sold necessitate
Tie most rapid and cheapest process,
which can only be secured by automatic
machines. The wire is made expressly
for the purpose and put up in large coils,
Which are placed on reels, and the end Of
nc wire is placed in a clamp which car
res it to the machine while Strengthening
il: from there it runs in another machine,
which cuts, bends, and, by a delicate-and
Instantaneous process, sharpens the
POINTS. Running at full speed these ma
hines will turn out 100 hairplns every
minute. To economic, it is necessary to
Keep them working night and day. The
difficult part Of the work is the enamel
ing, which is done by dipping in a prep
~aration and baking in an oven. Here is
ahcre the most constant and careful at
;ontion is required, as the pin must be
perfectly smooth and the enamel have a
perfect polish. The slightest particles Of
dust cause imperfections and roughness,
which is. Objectionable.
One would think this was a great deal
II fuss for a little thing. But there is
no one article of a lady's. toilet more i'm
portant TO her comfort and convenience.
Its primary use is. as well as we
know, to hold in becoming and tidy con-
dition woman's silken t~resses. But did
YOU ever stop to enumerate all the sec
0ndarv uses to which it is dcvoted2
Perhaps the most general work to
which it IS devoted as a substitute for the
simon-pure article is as a buttoner. ''Can
YOU get at a hairpin? l ced one to fasten
NY glove we often hear. 1t also serves
IN the same capacity for shoes.
Did YOU ever see a woman with an IN.
cut magazine in her hand, looking around
for an invisible pa~pcr-cutter2 Yes.
Well, then you have seen her comforta-
lily sect herself at last, whip out her
i4airpin from her tucked up hair, and
smoothly and deity cut the leaves with
it. Haven't you? OF course YOU have.
The gentlemen will tell you the hairpir
often acts as a tell-tale.
Every woman knows her own hairpins
And if Bob's sister Nell sees him with {
certain kind of hairpin in his pocket, she
quizzically asks: bob, where did vo,
get t at h~airpin?' Then Bob attempt.
to cover by replying: 'Why, Nell
that must be the one you gave me las
week at Mrs. Vanderdeck's ball to faster
my glove" Indeed, it is not. NJ,
.hairpins are all bent only once in TIL
middle, and that is crimped in three
places. Don't you think l know m,
