Value OF Social Enjoyment.

Social enjoyment is another factor that
enters into long life. do not believe in
ultra fashionable society, and care moth
ing for it. The late hours, the dissipa-
ton, the dreary fornlalities, the shallow
minded talk and tho general air of n.y.
pocrlsy make it very distasteful to me.
There are o great many among the rich
people in New York at the present time
who lose real social enjoyment. Having
suddenly acquired wealth, they have be-
come separated from their old friends
and acquaintance with whom, in earlier
days, they spent many sociable and
sensible evening. They give big dinners
to lot of 5rataless snobs, sycophants
and parasites who will eat their food and
laugh at them behind their backs. Their
honest friendships Of poorer days have
been broken, tor their acquaintance, not
being able to give big dinners, do not ac-
cept invitations to them provided they
are sent, and so the spirit Of true, whole
some enjoyment is soon lost.-P. T. Bar

The New York Tribune suggests
that brakes immortal poem, "The
Star Spangled Banner" which has
symbolized American patriotism for
three generations was made to give
way by the reckless leaders of mod
ern Democracy at St. Louis, for a
"new emblem Of sweet liberty" the
first stanza of which reads: aall
When Free-trade, from her topmost crag,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She thrust aside the the old time flag
And set big bandanna there.
She sprinkled DER its crimson dyes
The dust that in snuff box lies,
She striped its folds, red as rose,
With snuff that tickles Humans nose.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO Wo-
MAN.

"Place her among the flowers, fos-
ter her as a tender plant, and she is a
thing of fancy, waywardness and folly,
annoyed by a dewdrop, fretted by the
touch of a butterhy's wing, ready to
faint at the sound of q beetle or the
rafting of a window-sash at night and,
is overpowered by the perfume of a
rosebud. But let calamity come, rouse
her affections, enkindle the fires of her
being and mark her then how strong
is her heart ? Place her in the heart of
battle, give her a child, a bird or any
thing to protect, and see her in a rela-
tive instance, lifting her white arms
as a shield, as her own blood crimsons
her upturned forehead, praying for
her life to protect the helpless. Trans
plant her in the dark places of the
earth, call forth her energies to action,
and her presence is a blessing. She dis
putes inch by. inch the strides of a
~decimating pestilence, when man the
strong and brave, pale and affrighted
shrink away. Misfortunes hurt her
not; she wears away a life in silent en-
durance, and goes forth with less tim
idity than to the bridal altar. In
prosperity she is a bud full of odors
waiting but for the winds Of adversely
to scatter them abroad-gold, valu-
able, but untried in the furnace. In
short, woman is a miracle, a mystery,
the centre from which radiates the
charm of existence Womam's Work..

A strip of flannel or a napkin
dipped in hot water and wrung out,
and then applied around the neck of a

A towel folded several times, dipped

piled over the seat of the pain in

afford prompt relief. This treatment
in collie works like magic. There is
nothing that will so promptly cut
short congestion of the lungs, sore
throat or rheumatism, as hot water

hot water, and kept applied to old
sores, new cuts, bruises and sprains, is
a treatment now adopted in hospitals.
Sprained ankle has been cured in an
hour by showering it with hot water,
poured from a height of three feet.

NOTHING rs LOST.

Nothing Is lost; the drop Of dew
Which trembles on the leaf or flower,
Is but exhaled to fall anew
In summers thunder-shower
Perchance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall OF day.;
Perchance to sparkle in the flow
OF fountains far away
Nothing is lost; the tiniest seed
BY wild birds borne, on breezes blown
Finds something suited to it's need,
Wherein tits sown and grown.
The language of some household song,
The perfume of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To memory's after hour.
So with our words-or harsh or kind,
Uttered, they are not all forgotten;
They have their influence on the mind,
Pass on, but perish not.
So with our deeds-for good or i'll,
They have their power scarce understood;
Then let us use our better will
To make them rife with good. a.

Ranch Life in California.

The women often show the wear and
compromising social interests, more than
do the men, who are surrounded by men
interested in the same pursuits. Love of
luxurious clothing amounts TO a passion
in the women of all classes. About their
homes they go dressed as elegantly as if
In the fashionable streets of San Fran
cisco. This is the result of the wish of
husbands, sons and fathers for the visi-
BILE display OF their wealth speedily shown.
Too hurried to build the good homes
which they need, all rushing along the
heated race course that leads to sudden
wealth, they deck their women as means
of establishing their claims to social
Importance, and to compensate them for
the real hardships of their lonely lives
during much of the time.
The religious, educational and moral
tone of the community is largely upheld
by women, and a reverential bearing is
adopted toward them which is beautiful
and very gratifying without doubt. The
immense size of the ranches, however,
tend to isolation, and the maddening
monotony of the life is very trying TO the
moral stamina-one day is much like
another during the heated season, day
after day, week after week, Sunday in
cluded. With the nearest neightor five
