English and American Homes

Much is said of the luxury of the Old
World, but people who have had oppor-
tunities for comparison testify that the
average of comfort in living is much
higher in the United States than in Eng
land and Europe Even the homes of
the wealthiest are entirely lacking in
comforts and conveniences that are re-
garded as indispensable among the mid
die class and even the poorer homes Of
the United States Many English houses
occupied by families of means are not
supplied with steam or water, and the
general method of heating is by open
freplaces fed with smoky soft coal.
Hot air furnaces are almost unknown.
Set bowls, with hot and cold water
faucets, are regarded as non-permissible
extravaganza even by the wealthiest,
and only the very wealthiest sometimes
indulge in the luxury of a bathroom. A
hotel having one advertises it as spe-
cial and unusual attraction. Candles
are still much relied on for illumination.
A hundred other conveniences regarded
as necessaries in American homes are
unknown in English households. Good

why Women Have Dyspepsia.

A medical journal, in a learned discus
sion of the alleged causes of dyspepsia in
women, declares that they are mainly
lack of exercise and eating indigestible
food at unholy hours. To this cele-
brated woman physician takes exception,
and asserts that laziness and self indulg-
ence are not the main causes of dyspep-
sia in women.
81 have found" she says, "that wom-
en- are usually victims of the atomic va.
riety Of dyspepsia-that variety which
comes from lack of tone in the stom-
ach rather than from any disarrange-
ment of it's functions. 1t is sometimes
caused by a generally enfeebled condi-
ton of the system, but is oftener the re-
suit of their getting overtired and then
attempting to rest themselves by eating
a hearty meal.
"Women are SO reckless in theexpendi
ture of their strength-they go shopping
for whole afternoon, or they call, OF
entertain, or are entertained, without q
thought of their bodies, until suddenly
they find themselves utterly wearied out.
When this exhaustion occurs, instead of
lying down for an hours complete rest
before eating anything at all, they will
sit down to hearty meal in order to
rest themselves, as they think; and the
tired stomach is too weak to care for the
load of food that is thrust upon it. By
and by dyspeptic condition is induced,
and the poor souls wonder what they
have eaten that has brought on dyspep-
sia. "-Detroit Free Press.

THE TURNPIKE ROAD.

That here life's busy tide once flowed;
That bravely trod our grandsire's feet,
With Light heart, or with heavy load,

A. walking in some holy nave
We tread the grass grown ruts today;
A. II they marked some ancient grave,
We search upon the milestones gray
Their numbers almost worn away
Beyond the wood and winding stream
Beat the worlds pulses, strong and clear,
With roar and rush of steel and steam:
But. changeless through the changing year.
A sacred silence reigneth here.
Yee violets and the windhower sweet
In fairy hosts here greet the spring,
And following Summers hasting feet,
Blue Gentian-shy and winsome thing
Comes forth to hear the last bird sing.
And Fancy weaves mystic spell
Around this nook in Natures bowers;
Perchance the smiles and tears that fell,
The conquests and defeats as well
That made life in those bygone hours,
Have here found root and bloom in flowers
And could it be, on every tomb
(As to our toilwon goal we SPEEDY,
That some sweet flower should live and bloom,

Suddenly felt his form against
mine, creeping cunningly closer. With
a hasty Jerk drew my body in, and
with shoulders pressed firmly against
the plastered sides gave one powerful
kick and sent him sliding to the center
of the room. Before he had stopped |
was rolling in the direction of his corner

found my passage barred and the goal

hellish fury tried to tear his throat with
my teeth.
''As we struggled the room resounded
with an internal din of gasping moans
and oaths strangled in their utterance.
For time lost all sense of direction,
and was only intent on crushing out his
viperous life

he prolong this living death? A. thud as
it touched the iron plate; horrible

long, convulsive shudder of the body,

"Our Little Dot"

One night as l came out of theatel
in st. Louis l saw a number of hood
lums hustiing an old gray haired
woman, whose garments showed pov.
erty, who hung tightly to package Of
some sort she had under her arm. The
boys were jeeting and she was pleading
to be let alone | followed after. think
ing to say something at the right time,
and by and by she sat down on a door.
step. Then the young Arabs gathered
about her and shouted
Give US song, old woman!"
If you'll dance us jig, we'll let you
off"
open the bundle and let's see what
you've got"
When an interval of silence came,
she replied;
Boys. come closer around me. I've
got something here to show vou.'
They crowded around her, and she
removed the newspapers which con-
cealed the object she was carrying, and
held it up before them. Had a homb-
shell dropped among them, it would not
have scattered them more quickly.
What do you suppose it was? A bit Of
board about three feet long by foot
wide, painted white, aud on it in black
letters the epitaph:
