IN LOWERS LANE.

s2A III wreathed around with Virgins bower,
: And gay with eglantine.
< All overarched with laughing leaves
& And verdant with the vine:
1 Through memory's mists you rise as far
AS when with Mary Jane
found your pitfalls perilous,
dear old Lovers lane.
f. Twas there that Cupid kept his court.
Twas there his arrows hung
Above our happy, needless heads
The budding boughs among.
Tho many a cruel wound was dealt,
Full many fear was slain.
While lad and lassie loitered there
In dear old Lovers lane.
Twas there we put the purple on.
And breathed loves ampler air,
Twas there kiss conferred crown
Upon a royal pair.
Twas there our too fond hearts forgot
LIES penury and pain.
And earth became Paradise
To us in Lovers lane.
All, me! beneath those bending boughs
Full many ghost appears
Ofyouthful hopes that sprang, alas!
To perish, drowned in tears.
We find in ruins buried there
The castles built in Spain
Long, long ago, when sweethearts strolled
At eve in Lovers lane.
Though hands and hearts grow gray, men g
All gladly back, in dreams.
From youths lost glory yet to CLEAN
Some faint reflected beams;
Even he who limps Life's path along.
What time faiths bitter rain
Beats round, recalls some rose that bloome'
Long since in Lovers lane.

FaslidiOus speech.

How many people are there who pre-
nounce any proportion Of their words cor
rectly, not merely by reason of clipping
and mounting. but by ignorance of good
usage? We find them everywhere, and
they lay the accent on the first instead OF
on the second syllable of acclimate, for ex-
ample: they pronounce the second syllable
of acoustics COO instead of COW; they do not
put the accent CO tbs last a5llahle of adept,
as they should do, they isave tbs u sound
out of buoy; they pronounce duke with the
sound of 90 instead of with the simple long
u; emphasize the first instead of the second
syllable of enervate, and sound the t in
often. They are astonished to know that
precedence has the accent on the second
syllable, and placard on the last; that quay
is called key; that sough is suf; that the
instead of the sound is to be given in sac.
rif1ce, and the reverse in rise; that subtitle
and subtle are two diffenent words; that
the last syllable of tortoise is pronounced
''tis' instead of ''tus," that it should be
used and not ust; and that it is not the
f'zoo," but the geological gardens where
one goes to see the ohimponsse, and not
the ohimpangee. Iii quite time, we think,
when We hear one of these takers, fol
some of the fancy work and fancy studies
of the day to be dropped and little hard
work on the dictionary put in their place.

To Keep the Baby Well.

A baby in the country is under the best
conditions possible to resist tho effects Of
the heat, writes Elisabeth R. Scovil, in The
Ladies' Home Journal. Yet the mother
should be always prepared for emergencies
Before leaving them she should procure
few powders Of pepsin and bismuth, or any
simple remedy for Indigestion, with full
directions for its use. She should take
with her. also, a bottle of lime-water and
another of pancreatin, or One of the other
preparations for peptonizIng milk. The
purity of milk is always open to question,
because it absorbs germs SO readily. That
used for baby should be sterilized to
make it perfectly safe. This can be done
in the morning and evening By putting the
milk, fresh from the cow, in bottles of a
size to hold enough for one meal each.
Place these in saucepan filled with cold
water and set 1t on the stove where it will
heat gradually. After the water boils for
q short time, cork the bottles and lot them
remain in it for half an hour. Remove
from the stove, and when the water is cool
take out the bottles. If no ice is to be had,
stand them in stone jar containing water,
and wrap the jar in wet flannel, Or put it
in brook in a shady place. when a bot
tie is opened and all the milk is not used,
throw away the remainder.

GoPHERs AND SQUIRRELS EATING WHEAT.
Tacoma, Wash, July 8.-Washingtoa's
wheat crop is in danger of partial destruc-
tion by gophers and squirrels. For several
days wheat buyers have been receiving ad-
vices that for five or six days these animals
have been appearing in large numbers in
the Big Bend and Palouse districts. 10
some instances not less than ten to twenty
per cent. of large fields of grain has already
been devastated. Arsenic is being spread
over the fields, mixed with grain, and is
killing large numbers of the rodents. If
the devastation continues it is estimated
that not less than 1, 900, 900 bushels of grain
will be destroyed.

Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. Il am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. l
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. / consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. 1
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much Of the second bottle, was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

YOUNG WOMEN IN THE SOUTH

They Are Securing An Education for Self
Support and Not for Social Culture
Only.
The fact that so large proportion of
the young women now attending south
ern colleges are securing an education
not for ornament but for use, not for
social culture merely but in prepara-
tion for self-support has had the very
natural effect of making them more
earnest and diligent in the prosecution
of their studies. A much larger pro-
portion of college girls comes now from
the middle and poorer classes than for
merly. Many of the poor girls of the
south to-day are the daughters of edu-
Gated parents whose property was
swept away during the war, their cu[
ture surviving the loss of home and
property. And what will an educated
and refined mother not do, what sacri-
fees will she not make, in order that
her daughter may have the benefits of
an education? If poor she will prac-
tice the most rigid economy and sub
NIT to the severest personal self-de-
nial if thereby her daughter is enabled
to enjoy the advantages of an educa-
ton; and many are the southern moth
ers who since the war have done this,
and more, to give their children an ed
ucation. And there are many noble in
stances in which an elder daughter,
having been thus educated through the
labor and economy of her parents, has
generously requited their loving self
denial in her lehalf by going to work
herself and helping each of her young
er sisters to obtain the education which
their parents were anxious but unable
to give them. 1t is Victor Hugo who has
called this ''the century of woman" 1t
is certainly an age that has witnessed
great changes in the life, education and
labor of women everywhere; and these
changes have all been in the direction
of enlarging the sphere of woman's ac-
tivities, increasing her liberties and
opening up possibilities to her life
hitherto restricted to man 1t is a
movement limited to no land and to NO
race, So far as this movement may

WOMAN,S GENIUS.

The Many Inventions That Testify to Her
Ability as an Inventor.
While those who decry women use as
one of their chief arguments the state
ment that women have no inventive
faculty, women, it seems, from the
actual official returns, go straight on in
venting Not to speak of Catharine
Greene, the wife of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene, who undoubtedly invented the
cotton gin, and whose second husband
induced her to abate her fear of rldicule
and claim an interest in it, or of Mrs
Walton's achievements with noise
deadening. with smoke burning, and
with similar experiments, there are
many other inventions by women OF
equal Importance. One woman has in
vented method of converting barrel
of oil into ten thousand cubic feet of
gas; another has invented sewing
machine that needs no threading;
others have invented the ruffling and
quilting attachments to such machines,
and arrangements for sewing duck and
leather One such attachment made a
fortune for Miss Helen Blanchford; and
a new baby-carriage brought to its in
ventor, woman, the sum of hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Another
woman has invented a superior street.
sweeper; another. a spinning-wheel
carrying as many as forty threads;
another, a plan for heating cars;
another, a screw crank, for steam
ships; and chain elevator, a horse
-,
danger signal, and SO on without end,
owe their existence to the brains of
women. 1t was Miss knight who in
vented complicated machine for max
ing the square -bottomed paper bag,
and refused fifty thousand dollars for
the patent, and who also invented an
other machine that does the work of
thirty pairs of hands in folding these
bags. 1t is Mrs Armstrong who has
invented a machine for feeding cattle
on trains; it is Josephine Davis who
has invented an arrangement of lamps
and rubber cloth for hot vapor bath
at home; Mrs. Beastly, machine for
turning out complete barrels by the
hundred; Anna Conolly, practical
fire-escape; Mrs. Bailey, an attachment
to beds by means of which the patient
can raise and lower himself. And
among all these inventions none is per-
haps of more pleasing and grateful
character than that of Mrs Nancy
Johnson, who invented the first ice
cream freezer, but who, not so wise as
some of her sisters, sold her patent for
fifteen hundred dollars, all ice-creams
previous to her crank having been
made by slow and laborious stirring.
And this is merely slzimming over
the surface and selecting a few in
stances that most easily strike the eye,
leaving the multitude unmentioned.
Nor are these inventions confined, it is
evident, to the walks in life most fa-
miliar to women, as, among others, the
grain elevator, the screw-crank for
steamships, and the barrel-maker tes-
tify. And while the existence of all
these patents and their results ought
to confound the careless speaker who
thinks SO lightly of feminine capability,
it does something far more important
in showing how greatly enriched the
whole world will be when the feminine
mind as well as the masculine is fully
brought to the work.-Harper's Bazaar.

A New Role.

The opening of Oklahoma and the
rush for the Indian land have brought
fair women before the public in a new
character-that of woman boomer-and
as such she is said to be braver and
more daring than even the man advent
urer One of the most famous of these
women is Nannetta Daisy, a finely edu-
Gated and beautiful woman of thirty,
who was the leader of score or more
of women boomers. having their head
quarters in Indian territory. Nannetta
had been a school teacher and newspa-
per writer and missed by but one vote
being state librarian of Kentucky. AT
the head of her amazon company OF
boomers she took up a claim near Ed
munds, one of the best in the country.
This claim was contested by a railroad
engineer, the contest terminating in a
shooting match. Both were slightly
wounded, but public opinion was in
favor of the woman. A squatter jury
placed her in possession and warned the
man to leave the country. q
