Snow I Lay lie Down to sleep.n

In the quiet nursery chambers,
Snowy pillows yet impressed,
See tho forms of little children
Kneeling, white-robbed for their rest.
All In Quiet nursery chambers.
While the dusky shadows creep,
Hear the voices of tho children
CHOW lay me down to Sleep"
In the meadow and the mountain
Calmly shine tho winter stars,
But across the glistening lowlands
Slant tho moonlight's silver bars
In the silence and the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep
Listen to the little children
Praying God their souls to keep.
"1f we desc pray the children
And the mothers head drops low
Zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath tho winters tnoY),
"Take our SOULS" and past the easement
Fits CLEAN of crystal light,
Like the trailing OF His garments
Walking tvermore in white.
Little souls that stand cXpectant,
Listening at the gates of life,
Hearing far away the murmur
or the tumult and the strife;
We, who fight beneath those banners,
Meeting ranks Of focmen there,
Find deeper, broader meaning
In your simple vcspcr prayer.
When your hand shall grasp the standard
Which, today, you watch from far;
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In this universal war,
Pray to Him, the God of battles,
Whose strong eye can never sleep,
In the warning of temptation.
Firm and true your souls to keep.
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke from out the skicsi
When, far down the purple distance,
All the noise of battle dies:
When the last nights solemn shadows
Settle down on you and me,
May the love taat never fai.c:h
Take our souls ctcrnally.

rERruMEp ILLUMINATING OIL.

One of the latest devices for per-
Tuning rooms is the perfumed oil spld
by the lamp dealers for use in the
high lamps of the drawing-room.
Another is the use of cut glass flagons
filled with aromatic and combustible
fluids and fitted with wicks and burn
ers which, kept constantly burning,
add religious suggestion as we'll as
fragrant atmosphere 10 the room.
Then there are large atomizcrs in fine
glass OF porcelain and mounted in gold
or silver from which at any time a
cooling and odorous spray can be sent
through drawing-room.
Secured in any way You will, your
apartments must be filled with per-
fume. To be sure, there be persons
to whom an insistcnt odor is unpleas-
ant, who prefer to be made cognizant,
even of n pleasant perfume, in shy
whiffs and suggestions, and there GER
tainly arc those who have the unpleas-
ant habit of getting severe headache
in heavily pcrfumcd atmosphere.
But, as everybody knows, that is a
very disagreeable habit, and one no.
in the least to be encouraged. And
so, since fashion tells us to, by all
means let us have our rooms surcharged
with spicy odors.-[New York Sun.
LITTLE INDIAN GIRLS CONFIDENCE.
Here is pretty story from the
Hartford Courant: We saw little III
dian girl a few weeks ago at Laquna
New Mexico, in the Pueblo settlement
there. Her feet and limbs were in
cased i'll queer linen bandagcs, that
simulated stockings and shoes, all in
one piece. She wore calico skirt,
red bodice, and black shawl that
served both as bonnet and wrap, and
on her little sleek head she carried a
great sun-baked water jar. "Jo-
sephine, are You going to be married ~
ooh, yes" said Josephine confidently.
"When, Josephine2o ooh soon, !"
with smile of modest pleasure. "To
whom, Josephine?" "I do not know.
Z have; no one yet" said Josephine.
Mesdcmoiselles, you of the conventions
~ type, do you not envy the faith and
the confidence of your unciviIized
sister?
She Sims no one yet" but she is
braiding her long locks for him and
saving her ,,ickels-there ARE no PEN
MES in her blessed country-to buy a
cooking stove on which she will pre-
pare his antelope and beaten corn.
Mesdemoiselles, could you speak your
own thoughts would it be q relief?

Ho,v the Germans Take a Ceus,,s

itOtU tHc GcFtunS race a Census
They'have different way of taking
the census in Germany than the one
in vogue in the United. States. They
take the census every five years there,
and cover the whole empire in one
day; but only questions in reference
to domicile, name, sex, and socinl
position are asked. Several days be-
fore December the enumcrator goes
around in his district and finds out
how many persons live in each house.
For each person lie leaves card CON
containing the questions, and oa/cach
card is written the number Iii the
house and district.
A duplicate of each card so filled
out is Kept in the central station. On
December the enumerator goes
around and collects the cards, tho
heads of the families, agents or own
ers being under penalty to fill out the
cards, OF have them filed out, and to
return Them BY the duplicate d
check is kept, so that tho cnumerator
cannot skip house. In that way the
exact number of persons living in the
German Empire is secured on the first
day of December. [Pittsburg Dis

10 KEEP YOUR BODICE IN SHAPE.


Blouses may como and go. Coat
basques may have the same experience,
but the trim, violating position
BASQUE is always in good form if it fits
well. A basque that fits well is one
that is not too tight to permit easy
movement of the arms, and is one that
does not need to be closed with shoe
buttoncr. The wise woman who
wants to keep her basque iii good
shape pats on her bonnet before she
assumes it. Then, before any fasten-.
ing begins, the inside belt should BIO
drawn together, and it isn't the best
thing 10 have the belt very tight, for
that does not make the basque fit closer
and does make tho drawing of it to-
gether more difficult.
BY the by, no matter how YOU NAV
be tempted to put large buttons on
your bodice, remember that only small
ones are considered good FORM There
must be great many of these, SO that
the possibility of the opening standing
apart even an inch between them does
not exist. You think people don't
have such ill fitting basqucs? Just
wait till the next time you get into q
street car and be satisfied that this is
the truth Detroit Journal.

IT CLEARS A MUDDY co,rpLExIoN.

II CLEANo MUDDY COMPLEXION.
1t is said that q muddy complexion
may be made clear by the constant use
for month of lemon juice and bay
rum, two-thirds of the former and one
of the latter. Wash the face thorough
ly first with plenty of soap and warm
water, rinsing it with clear water, and
then apply the lotion. This should DO
done at night, followed by another
thorough washing in tho morning. If
this makes the skin little red at first,
cold cream must be applied. The last
mentioned should never be entirely
laid aside either i'll winter or summer.
Bay rum will remove all greasiness
from the skin, but is apt to be too dry
ing if used constantly.-[Ncw York

rAsHIoN's BACKWARD TENDENCIES.

FASHIONS BACKWARD TENDENCIES.
The London Graphic says: s1Thc
backward tendency of our fashions
toward the styles prevalent in the carly
Victorian decades has received further
illustration in recent papers devoted 10
fashions, which tell us not only to
buy onc-butto:i gloves, but square-tocd
boots and shoes as well. Exceedingly
long sleeves have brought in the for
mcr, while the latter is not yet ac-
counted for. 1t is probably the revolt
of few sensible women against the
excessive narrowness of the chaus-
sures, which we're literally forced
upon buyers by fashionable shoe
rnakers:
sst4lld Square Toes used to be n
lbyword of reproach against sancti-
jmonius Puritans. Omitting the adjcc-
tive of age, it will now be descriptive
of the smart woman. 1t is the most
curious feature Of all this seasons dis
tinctivc modes that they include every
thing which has been cried down as
inartistic since the great aesthetic craze
of twelve or fifteen years back"
