TWIEIGHT-LAND.

1Iere we are in the twilight-land;
Creakety-crack,
Rocking chairs to every hand
Sway and swing and squeak:
Here is neither park nor street;
Bare are the little twinkle feet;
White are the gowns and loose;
No place here for ball or bat,
No need now for coat or hat
None for stockings or shoes.
What are the stories of twilight-land?
Hark, ah. hark!
Call the sweet names where they stand,
Waiting in the dark;
Cinderella and little Bo-Peep,
Who lost her sheep, her pretty sheep;
Jack Horner, bold Boy Blue,
And the three bears living in the wood,
And the wolf that ate Red Riding Hood,
And the spinning pussy, too.
The little children in twilight land,
Are still as mice.
And the Story-teller must understand
She's to tell each story twice,
The cricket chirp, the stars eyes wink;
Perhaps the man in the moon may think
Them saucy i'll their play;
But whatever is heard or said or done,
Each sleepy. weary little one
Gets rested for next day.
For the pillow is white in twilight-land
And white the bed,
And the tender, loving mothers hand
Is laid on the drowsiest head
And list. the tune she huns and sings,
And with soft creak the rocker swings,
How far away it seems!
That tune-that lullaby-ah me-
They are leaving twilight-land you see,
For the stiller land of dreams.

merreSort, and in the course of his con-
verSatiOn said: sit seems to me that
parents exercise little jugdment. either
for their own good or for that of their
children in this matter. In too many
instances their selection is so bad that
it would be much better for all con-
cerned if they had remained in their
city houses. The number of deaths
which occur among families during their
absence from home in the summer, es-
pecially among children, is positively
appalling when taken in the aggregate,
and in the majority of cases these deaths
are due solely to the unhealthfulneSS of
the places which have been chosen.
sit would be advisable, if possible, for
one of the members of the family to
to make personal examination OF the
surroundings of the house or locality
proposed for resting-place before the
time for departure arrives. and this can
be readily accomplished when its dis
tance from the city is not great,aS in the
towns within radius of forty or fifty
miles.
Zone of the worst features of the ordi-
nary country hotel or boarding house is
its plumbing, for, generally, there is
none at all or next to none, and where
the plumbing is bad, there disease is sure
to come sooner or later.
Especial attention should be directed
to the water supply and careful scru-
tiny of it's source should be made. If it
comes from spring near the house the
presumption is that the water will be
clear and pure; but if, ON the contrary.
it is discovered that it comes from run
ming stream it would be advantageous to
investigate the course of the stream to see
that the water is not likely to suffer
from any impurities upon its banks.
The location of the we'll and cesspoos
should also be learned, for if these are
not separated from each other by dis
tance of seventy or eighty yards it is
possible for the former to be contami-
mated by the latter, especially when the
soil is light and porous.
Watch closely for signs of filthiness
in the neighborhood of the house, for if
the refuse from the kitchen is
carelesSly thrown upon the ground to
bake and boil in the sun, it is almost
certain that disease will be the result.
''In the selection of summer home
choose one that is not completely envel-
Oped in shade, for it will surely prove to
be damp and unhealthy. Do not take a
room OH the ground floor, if it is possi-
ble to avoid it, unless it is certain that
the cellar underneath is perfectly dry,
and do not stay longer in dark rooms
than is necessary"

most wholesome and becoming color in

to freekles equally as well. Freckle
yourself thoroughly, that it may be evil
dent at a glance that you are taking
course in natures university. If the
face smarts after day out OF doors hot
les are especially injurious. because the
smart means irritation. and lotions and
balms, oftener than not, are poisonous
to an irritated skin. Complexion
troubles are doctored by frequent bath

ton to the face will only make them in
the end worse. Perfect cleanliness, as
a rule, means good skin. If it does
not, then the general health is at fault,
and the only remedy lies in giving bet

ously presses the keys and sounds note
after note. She is so very young that
her parents have never attempted to
teach her anything about music at all,
and she plays exclusively by ear.
She can play a bass accompaniment
in duet to any third or fourth grade
piece of music, whether she has heard
it before or not. All she wants when
she goes to the piano is to catch the first
chord in the treble. and then, striking
the chords in the bass, she is ready to
begin. She watches the hands of the
treble player and notes the changes
quickly enough to make the changes in
the bass without missing single note.
Accomplished musicians who have
heard her play and have seen the music
of her first composition have pronounced
her powers simply those of veritable
prodigy. With the proper training she
will develop into one of the finest muSi-

sex was pretty well sat down upon.
A woman of splendid physique, she
had the olive skin and lustrous black
eyes that are still common in Galway,
the result of intermarriage with the
SpaniaIds, says the Chicago News. The
father of Gralnne was lord of the Isles
of Arran, an intrepid mariner who took
his daughter with him on his piratical
expeditions. and impaired to her such
though but nineteen, Grainne took COM
mand of his tiOtilla and could defy the
most powerful coast lord of Ireland.
She had wooden ships under her COM
mand, but her squadron was largely
made up of ''coracleS," the ivy wicker
work boats covered with horSehide that
are still to be found in use among the
peasantry in the wild hooks of Come
mara.
The sea queen Of Ireland was not con-
tent with plundering Spanish galleOns,
but finally attacked English vessels
with such fierce persistence that Eliza
beth proclaimed her ali outlaw and Of
fered $500 for her capture. Troops
were sent to lay siege to her castle, but
after fortnight Of fighting they re-
treated beaten.
When this fearless Irishwoman was
on her way home to Connaught terri
bic storm arose, and the fleet was
obliged to put in at Howth harbor. At
the castle there she demanded shelter
for herself and men, but was so brusque-
ly refused that she turned back toward
the shore.
A beautiful child ran across her path,
followed by her nurse. Grainne
stopped them, found that the boy was
the heir to Howth, and without more
ado took her up in her mighty arms and
strobe off to her ship. She took him to

times the doors of the castle should be
thrown open and all wayfarers who

worth noting that to this day the prom

The beautiful pirate proved her right
to her sex in the encouragement she
gave religion and education; her unflag-
ging love for her children; the high
value she placed upon woman's virtue
and courage, and the strong good sense
and judgement that characterized her

Read the Newspapers.

fla woman wishes to rise above
mere inanegossip in her conversation
she will find course of newspapers
and magazines much, more service
able than regular course of heavy
reading. To be really charming in
conversation, one must avoid any
thing like hobby. Have a hobby,
by all means, but don't ride it rough
shod over everybody. Much desultory
reading ofagood class, stored away by
aretentive memory, will give us food
for conversation to suit everybody.
In point of fact, we do not believe
women are usually less interesting
in conversation than men; the latter
are apt to have larger opportunities
in contact with Others. Yet we meet
so many men who cannot talk of
anything in the world except their
business, and surely they are not
more interesting than awoman who
talks only Of her clothes and her

An Amended Prayer,

The small kid had been taught to
pray for all the family, and she had
a list of "God bless" that was
much longer than the usual prayer.
1t was "God bless papa, and God
bless mamma, and God bless Aunt
Mary, and God bless Uncle George"
and so on. She had got it so perfect
~ that nobody paid much attention
to the names she put in. The grown
up sister happened to come into the
nursery while she was saying her
prayer, and that seemed to recall the
child to mistake she .had made.
She stopped fora moment and then
said: "Please God, I made mistake.

in inventing new forms of fraud and
in revelry and carousal.
But today all is changed. The
Preston and the Hampton families
are almost extinct.
Moses, crushed by misfortune,
poverty, and his own follies, has
become a shattered wreck and pen

of prodigal traitors, has now become
the shrine of the Church, where holy
women kneel and invoke Gods bles-

Mother Superior's hopes and pray
ers had for years been centered on
the Preston home as a convent for her
followers.
Her prayers were answered, but
