Glover as a Lucky Charm.

Among the many superstitions CON
nected with the four leaved clover is
one that if a man loves a woman Tor
vice yersa) and can obtain two four
leaved clovers and induce her to eat
one while he himself swallows the
other mutual love is sur to result.
Nay, according to a very good gypsy
authority, even a trim patrini kas, or
three leaved clover. will have this
effect. Also take a four or three
leaved clover, and making q hollow
in the end or top of your alpenstock
or can put the leaf therein, taking
care not to injure it, and close the
opening carefully. Then SO long as
you walk with it you will be less
weary than if it were wanting and
will enjoy luck in many ways.
A German proverb says of a lucky
man:-"Er hat elm 0ierblattriges Klee-
6SaH getunden"-"He has found a
leaved clover" On this test DR..
Wilhelm Korte breaches the follow
ing homily:-"This is, you say,
stupid superstition Did you ever
know a man who was GAM und gar,
utterly and entirely devoid of super
stition? For if you did be sure there
was nothing in him."
Queen Christmas Popularity.
A prominent Spanish statesman was
asked the other day to what he attrib-
uted the strange fact that a woman,
and a foreigner, held the reins of gov
eminent successfully in her handsin a
country so undermined rs Spain by
political intrigue, says the PAU Mall
Gazette. THE marvel, If marvel there
be-" was the reply, ''can be explained
in the simplest manner. The Queen
maintains her position because she is
the direct opposite of an intriguing
and conspiring woman. She tells no
falsehoods, has nothing of the hypo-
critic about her, is as simple and mod
est as she is honest, and there is mo-
body in Spain who is not convinced
country. The Queens popularity
especially with the women of Spain
is q real power which gives her much
Of the hold which she has over her
subjects. Natural tact, intelligence
and kindness are also among the wea-
pons by which Queen Christine main
tains her position.
Like our own Queen, the Queen
Regent of Spain has worn mourning
ever since the death Of her consort,
and only quite lately she has began to
wear jewelry on State occasions. In
public the Queen, who is thirty-one
years old, appears only with her son,
the little King, with whom she takes
drives in the neighborhood of Madrid.

You may sing of the beauty of springtlme
" n l~xrr. ~ thN gltaalr ~ fhR ,,tn .f
But Ising of a beauty that's rarer
Than any of which you have sung.
The beauty that's seen in the faces
OF women whose summer is DER,
The autumn-like beauty that charms us
Far more than the beauty Of yore.
But this beauty is seen too rarely. The
faces Of most women lose the beauty of
youth too soon. Female disorders are
like frosts which come to nip the flowers
which betoken good health, without
which there can be no real beauty. IL
our American women would fortify
themselves against the approach Of the
terrible disorders so prevalent among
them, by using DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, their good looks would be
retained to a sweet old age" This
remedy is a guaranteed cure for all the
distressing weaknesses and arrangements
peculiar TO women.
