But neither by gesture nor words

1 toiled all the day, and toiled half the night,
AND dtl1gent ever wrought;
In daytime delved in the broad fields OF earth,
. And at night in the wide fields of thought. .
For said to myself in the depths of my soul:
THE fair and the blossoming rose
From the clod that is trampled in scorn At our
feet
Right stately and beautiful grows"
AS the spirit enlarges the body retines,
And knowledge creates selfrespect;
So I looked unabashed upon others around,
And carried my body erect.
Men noted the growth OF my manner and mind
And Brent, though to others grim.

In beauty and sweetness Elizabeth grew;

AS a shepherd Chaldee his devotion might pay
To some bright and particular star.
Rich suitors were many who wooed her in
Her gaze went right over their heads;
And Brent said to me, with queer, Grabbed

Yet the eye speaks the words that will shrink

She knew that loved her, and she,

1t was madness felt he would never consent
She should wed with d penniless youth:
And feared by the glance that he gave US one

CONCERNING HEAnAcHE.
Five Suggestions OF Interest to Those AZ
nIcted With the AIIment.

Five Suggestions OF Interest to Those Az
hicted with the AIIment.
A teacher in Tennessee, who has
long suffered from headache. and has
tried physicians and remedies with
only temporary relief, asks our advice
as to diet and manner of living. He
has a good appetite and is otherwise
apparently well.
We may premise that a headache
may be due to one of many causes, or
to several causes acting together. A
remedy suited to one case may coo
harmful in another. Nor can any case
be cured without the removal of the
cause. Without some knowledge. OF
the habits, the temperament, the phys
ical tendencies and the general sur
roundings Of a sufferer. it is impossi-
BILE to mark out any scheme Of diet
adapted to particular case. But any
one who is an intelligent observer of
himself, and is possessed of strong
will, can, probably, treat himself as
successfully as any ordinary physician
can treat him. We will address our
correspondent directly. but the advice.
with the necessary notifications, will
do for others:
1. You are aware that vigorous out
door exercise is essential to sound
health in all persons. and especially so
in the case of brain-worker, under
the peculiar strain of a school-room.
You need at the minimum, two hours
day of such exercise. Perhaps with
your Southern habits and conVeniences,
horseback riding might probably
interchange with rapid, CHEEKY walk
ing.
2. You are equally aware that at
least eight hours of solid sleep are
still more essential-sleep in a we'll
ventilated, sun-disinfected room.
g. You may not be aware, but it is
true, that " biliousness and indiges-
ton are generally due far more to
over-eating or undertaking than to
the kinds of food eaten. See if you
can trace a connection between the
quality of your food and your distress
ing symptoms. Lessen it below the
average of the past, and note whether
the tendency to headache lessons with
it. If it does, you are on the right
track. If not, try the effect of more
frequent and abundant meals.
4. Constipation fills the blood With
poisons that affect the brain. Let this
be remedied, if possible, by your food
Allure white bread, and use bread
made from - entire wheat -four" or
mush from oatmeal or wheat germ
meal" with free addition of fruit.
5. Notice whether any particular
article OF food positively disagrees
with you-in itself, in the mode OF
cooking it, or in the quantity eaten
and govern yourself accordingly.
Make trial of these suggestions for
three months and note the result

THE CAPTAINS STORY.
A Queer Occurrence That Cured
Him Of His Superstitiona

"Well, SIR" said the old captain to
me-a retired shipmaster, with the
gaze of vulture under the apparently
sleepy lid, and a face full of lines and
discoloration like the wrinkling of
currents in the CLASSY swathes of a
dead calm on some dingy spread of
water off the West African coast
had always been a bit superstitious up
to then, but l own that that job cured
me. But it made me see also THAT it
isn't reasonable to be too cOntemptu-
Gus of ones fellow-creatures who be-
lieve in spirits and manifestations of
which there is no organ, sense or quail
ity in the human body to take notice
of. saving credulity. 1t comes to this.
sir: human nature never gets beyond
a certain pass. We sail to that point,
and then the wind shifts. ana we drop
astern. From time to time it is put
into us to think foolishly, that the
thoughtful among us may understand
how little ahead of the old folks we
are in spite of our discoveries. I've
watched this fad of ghosts among us
of late; the growth of societies which
aim to enlarge mems knowledge of
what doesn't exist, and it takes me
back to the days when was young
'un, when there were still witches in
the country. and old women were
duclxed or drowned for saiing athwart
the moonlight on broomsticks. We
were q bit coarser then in our super
stitions than now, made our
ghosts hags instead of spirits of beau
ty, fed from candles in turnips. and
reckoned that when old Bogey wanted
us he arrived down the chimney. But
the quality remains the same. It is
only frightened in these times, pol
ished up, and made to look in other
ways finer. Now, however, to give.
you my yarn:
II was master of a ship of eight
hundred tons. We were loaded with a
general cargo, bound to the East In
dies. 1t was many years ago, when
ships companies were numerous, part
ly through the compulsion of the nav
igation laws, partly because owners
wanted their ships to keep afoat,
partly because you wouldn't have got
sailors to ship If there had not been
plement numbered between forty and
forty-five men. In a crowd of this
kind one doesn't take particular mo-
tice. When the crew are few you
come to know your Jims, Joes and
Toms as you come to know your dogs
at home, or as a man who Is worth
only a few shillings is not only con-
scious of what he has in his pocket,
but can tell you the character of the
coins also. We were without passen-
gers, simply a weN-manned cargo yes

POETIC YOUNG WOMEN.
The Lovely, But TiresOme, opponents o.

The Lovely. But TiresOme. opponents of
TeRder Melancholy.
To lisp in numbers" is as natural
to boarding-school young ladies of a
sentimental turn as it is for doves to

regardless of rejection as well as of ex-
pense in the matter OF French note
paper, tinted envelopes and postage
stamps.
With few dashing exceptions, there
is a remarkable sameness in the choice
of subjects made by poetical girls, and
in their manner of treating them. Nine
out of ten of them indulge in tender
melancholy, and write in a 'twish-I-
may-die' vein that is wonderfully
touching to the unsophisGcated. As
a rule, they seem to covet an early
grave, but their apparent anxiety to
wrap the drapery of their couches
round them, and lie down to pleasant
dreams, must not be taken literally
The pleasant idea appears to occur to
them that latter life's fitful fever"
they will be appreciated as they de-
serve. and that a regretfuI world will
feel that it has entertained angels uu-
awdreS.
This is an agreeable notion to work
out in rhyme. 1t enables the neglected
daughters OF song to take an imaginary
posthumous revenge on an idiotic COM
munity for failing to discover their
gifts until too late. 1t is satisfactory
to know, however, That a large pro-
portion of the young ladies who give
their minds to Sapphic poesy in their
teens, eventually make exemplary
wives and mothers. and laugh. in
their maturity, at the rhymes of girl

COARSE POTTERY.
How Crooks, jugs and Similar Articles Are
Made.

Made.
The base of materials for all kinds
of pottery is clay, and the quality of
the product depends mainly on the
kind of clay used and the ingredients
with which it is mixed. Bricks are
made of common blue, brown or red
clay, mixed with varying proportions
of sand. Drain tile is made of common
plastic clay, the pipes being nodded
by pressing the material between a
solid cylindrical cone, and hollow
external cylinder. In making earthen
crooks or jars the clay is first
moistened into a plastic mass which
can be nodded by the hand, and then
is worked up in what is called pug
mill. A vertical shaft armed with
knives placed with the planes
of their blades in spiral
direction, is made to revolve within
a slant cylinder having a funnel
shaped top. There are knives also
on the outside of the cylinder, and by
the action of both sets the mOistened
clay is worked into a smooth mass.
and pushed down to the bottom and
through rectangular Orifice on the
side of the cylinder. 1t is then cut
into slices, the workmen removing as
he does so all stones and other solid
substances. 1t is then ready for the
lathe or ''potter's wheel" This is one
of the most ancient machines known,
having been nsed in Egypt probably
six thousand years ago. 1t is simply
'sthe turned by the motion OF a
wheel. The clay is placed on the lathe
and its rapid revolving movement aids
the worker in shaping it to its right
form. Thus, the workman throws a
small quantity of plastic clay with a
smart blow upon the head of the lathe,
and then with his hands which he
keeps moist by dipping them into a
bowl of water conveniently near, he
presses the mass into a eonical shape.
Then fattening the top, he gradually
works his hand into the inside of the
mass. and meanwhile keeping his
other hand on the outside, he works it
into the form of a jar or crock, and by
means of some simple tools of wood or
leather, the shape is rendered perfect
1t is then ready to be fired. then
glazed, then fired again. Chicago

Anecdote of Prof. Agassiz.

DR.. Thomas Hill, ex-president of
Harvard College, relates that one
evening while walking toward the lee
ture hall at Walton, where Prof.
Agassiz was to speak, the great nat
uralist said to him: What prepara-
ton do you think I've made for this
lecturer" DR.. Hill intimated that the
nature of the lecture to be given must
have required good deal of study.
NO" said Agassiz, 81 have not stud
led my subject at all l have simply
been trying for the last three hours to
learn some of your English words and
terms so can speak them f1uently."
On another occasion they were in DR..
Hills study, and that gentleman
showed Agassiz a large case in which
were drawings of fifty specimens of
insects. His attention seemed fixed
upon one insect in particular. This
insect, although an inch and a-quarter
long, had very short wings, and that
was the fact that Agassiz had discov-
cred. After a long time he looked up
and said: ':Mr. Hill, you've spoiled
my lecture for this evening" ''Why?"
''Oh, can't see how that insect can
fly with such short wings, and can't
help thinking about it."-BOSt0H

by the curious action of two robins
that suddenly appeared from a tree
near which she was standing. and flew
rapidly toward her, almost striking
her in their excitement Then they
returned to the tree and once more
few back to her, repeating the action
several times, until the tree was ex-
amined, when it was found TO contain
a nest of young robins Further in
