He will spend the autumn at Dresden,

another, an opera founded on an

LONG AGO.

/ once knew all the birds that came
And nestled in our orchard trees,
For every flower had a name
MY friends were woodchucks, toads and
bees,
1 knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants would soothe stone-bruised
toe
Oh, was very learned then,
But that was very long ago.
1 knew that spot upon the hill
Where checkerberries could be found,
1 knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed pound
1 knew the wood-the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth,
L tread the old familiar spot
Only to learn this solemn truth:
have forgotten, am forgot.
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things used to know;
To think / once wise as he
But that was very long ago.
1 know it's folly to complain
OF whatsoever the fates decree,
Yet, were not wishes all in vain,
1 tell you what my wish should be:
I'd wish to be boy again,
Back with the friends I used to know,
For 1 was, oh, so happy then
But that was very long agol

MURDER OF THE SPIDER.

Is it not enough that every bird
that flies ruthlessly rObs her nursery,
devours her babies and even snatches
her own soft body from the very
sanctum of home; that gauzy flies
steal their greedy young into her
nursery to fatten upon her infants;
that to monkeys, squirrels and lizards
her plump body is asweet morsel they
never resist; that frogs and toads
snap her up without ceremony; that
centipedes seize her in resistless
grasp; wasps paralyze and bury her
alive? Are not these enough without
man joining the host of EXTERN
inators? Man too, in whose services
she lives, writes Olive Thorne Miller
on the spider in the Popular Silence
Monthly. Consider for moment her
usefulness. Count if you can, the
the thousands of flies and mosquitoes
eaten by one common house or
garden spider in summer. Then re-
member her harmless way. Other SER
wants we must pay. Birds eat our
cut-worns, our caterpillars, and our
potato beetles, but we have to pay
all tax-small, it is true, In fruits, and
berries, IN green peas, IN corn; owls
and hawks, while they destroy moles
and mice indulge now and then in
young chickens But the daughter of
Arachne asks no reward, neither fruit
nor vegetables suffer from their touch.
No humming or buzzing attends her
movements Steadily, faithfully she
goes on her way doing her appointed
work; and we, so wise, so far above
her in a scale of being, we murder
her.

CERTAIN NAIL LORE.

A white mark on the nails bespeaks
misfortune.
Pale or lead-colored nails indicate
melancholy people.
Broad nails indicate a gentle, timid
and bashful nature.
Lovers of knowledge and liberal
sentiment have round nails.
People with narrow nails are am
bilious and quarrelsome.
Small nails indicate littleness OF
mind, obstinacy and conceit.
Choleric, martial men, delight1ng
In war, have red and spotted nails.
Nails growing into the flesh at the

tastes.
People with very pale nails are

MRS. JOSEPHINE ID. PEARY.

On Saturday. June 9th, a little
steam barkentine called The Kite
sailed from a wharf in Brooklyn,
bearing the North Greenland expedi-
ton of 1912 There were thirty
four men on board, including the
commander, Lieutenant R. E. Peary !;
but in addition the party contained
an important member who took
precedence, in point of interest. over
all the others. This was Mrs. Jose
phine D. Peary, the wife of the COM
mander, who dared to brave the
perils and rigors of an arctic season
in order to be with her husband.
The object of the party is to ex-
plore the coast of Greenland, and en-
deavor to learn whether or not 1t is
continent. A party of scientists
accompanied the explorers in order
to investigate the various natural
and glacial phenomena of the coun-
try. AS the boat went out, Lieuten-
ant and Mrs. Peary stood on the
captains bridge and received the
cheers of the. crowd, who wished
them all manner of good luck on the
perilous journey.
Early in September a letter came
to the New York Sun from Lieuten-
ant Peary, dated at Mccormick Bay,
in which he states that after forty
eight days battling with Arctic seas
and ice-packs the party have moved
within the midnight shadow of the
snow-capped cliffs that line the
northern shore Of Whale Sound" A
house that was carried along in Sec
tons has been erected, and the pro-
visions have been stored on shore.
The scientists that accompanied him
have gone to the west coast of Green
land, and Lieutenant Peary and his
brave wife, together with five men,
have been left in the Arctic regions
to battle with the terrible winter.
About the first of next May they will
start on their sledge journey north
ward, and hope to return to their
present location about the following
August. when they will start for the
habitations in the South in small
boats.
But the party that took leave of
the handful of explorers believed that
they saw them for the last time, un-
less relief party goes to them next
Suu1IleI. HIS Is Tic prospect lHdI
confronts the few that are now pre-
pairing for the dreary, long winter of
those ATTITUDES, and one of the few is
a woman!
Until the anticipated return to
civilization, the only people the party
will see will be the Esquimaux of
that region, and the promise of their
return is a matter of doubt in the
minds of many.
Four large Newfoundland dogs are
also members Of the little colony.
which will be employed as leaders
of teams of Esquimau dogs, and on
these faithful creatures much reliance
is placed. 1t is sad to think of the
dangers that threaten the party, but
it is hoped that to Mrs. Peary may
belong the honor Of being the first
woman arctic explorer who has gone
forth with a brave heart and re-
turned safely from the land where
the ice king reigns.- Harper's Bazaar.
