FOR THE CURE OF pnEcKEY mE.r.

In many persons the eruption known as
the prickly heat comes from the corrosive
action of the acid perspiratioB. II is worse
whenever the clothing has an opportunity
to rub the skin. In cases of persons having
delicate or thin skins much relief NAV often
be obtained by applying lather Of soap
and letting it dry in. The soap is sufficient
y alkaline inits nature to neutralize the
acid of the perspiration, and stop its cor
roding effect. The soap used should be of
the finest kind
As rule, chsfing is due to the same
cause, and can be cured by the treatment
mentioned. Some persons find the use of
soap much more beneficial and satisfactory
than that of Faseline or oil OF any kind
The ell acts merely as a lubricant and to
soothe the inflammation. The soap does
the same. but also remoYesthe cause of the
trouble to great extent. In applying the
soap to infants extreme caution should be
used. Only a small surface should be
soaped until certain that no Injurious re-
suits follow. Some persons get relief from
battling with a weak solution Of bicarbon-
ate Of soda-I[efdId Of Youth.

Iyhere She Lies Dead.


The sun comes up and mocks me with its light,
The clouds lean white breasts to the sleepless
hear the lark's call, tremulous with delight,
To his sweetheart, across the new grassed
lea,
The rose blue mists before the sun have fled.
The whole dear world is gIad-though she lies
dead.
Out in her well loved garden spot the flowers
Lift dreaming heads and half unfold their
leaves,
All wet and sweet with dew; the hours
Go slowly, as if plying him who grieves;
Her one white rose leans slender throat and
head
Against the window siTl-where she lies dead.
About the pond her frogs are all astir.
Their mellow, clamorous voices fill the air
Their tender voices so beloved Of herl
That night kissed the violets in her hair
When on my happy breast she laid her head,
To hear their murmuring- now, she lies dead.
The locust blossoms sift, like dim, pale stars,
On purple air shot through and through with
gold,
Like dust blown of the wine flushed grapes,
and bars
OF warmth lie on the grass beneath-bat
cold
And still is she whose heart, they always said,
Wasstrong and warm as fire-for she lies dead.
Oh, love! lovel lovel it is too great to bearl
That this glad world should still pulse strong
with life,
And thrill with mellow song. and all the air
With joy of bird and flower love be rife
While from thy breast thought. love and life
have fled.
My Godl Ny God, help me! while she lies dead.

E0w TO WEAR GRAY,

Every woman wears gray because it is
fashionable, and SO it behooves the woman
who is tallow blonde to know that ber
gray dress ought to have rich cardinal or
crimson plastron or big, soft fchu or red
chiffon.
Tie reddish blonde need not read this
article. She can wear gray pure. and
simple without rectifcation.
Tie brunette should take heed that her
gray dress has touch of pink or cid rose
near her face. or. if it becomes her better,
of yellow.
No gin who is dark should ever mix
blue with gray.
No girl who has not a rose leaf skir
should wear cream and gray.
Never wear gray hal unless you face
it with the tint that IS most becoming. II
you heed these hints you viii probably
confess them wise.

The River.

Oh, rugged riYeri restless river.
River of years-river of tears
Thou river of Lifel
River Of tears! Yet o'er thy bosom Joy, as a
bird, flashes its gaudy wing
And drinks its draught of ecstasy from out thy
crystal spring.
Oh, sunlit riverl shadowy river!
River of gladness-river of sadness
Thou river of Life,
River Of gladnessl Yet DER the blue of the
beautiful sky floats cloud
Out of whose feecy whiteness the Loom Of God
is weaving shroud.
Oh, beautiful riverl while the star of youth is
glowing
From the silver sprinkled sky.
River Of Life! when health's elixir flowing
Paints thy waters its rosy dye.
Sunlit riyeri when the days are full of peace,
And the calm of the song the river sings
And the quiet joy the lullaby brings
We feel will never cease.
And while the waters glow and glisten,
Ali how seldom do we listen
To the turning of the ponderous wheel Of
Time,
Over whose granite sides are rushing
The waves Of the river in symphony sub
iinei
But when the waters are black and bleeding,
Dyed with dread Diseases breath,
And we feel the river leading
To the fathomless sea of Death,
men, ami lnen- IN our agony OF soul
We cry: 'oh, wheel of Time, one moment
stay!
Turn back the river and cease to roll,
For a life we love is passing away
But God is the miller, and the wheel is turning,
Though Grief's hot irons our hearts are burn
ing,
And tho rivers song-is only moan.
And the grinding wheel-sounds groan.
But from out our midnight gloom
Look upl God knowest best.
See the life we love as it catches the bloom
OF Infinite radiance and resti
Itswaters have mingled with the crystal stream
Flowing so close to the throne.
And the waves have caught the golden CLEAN
And the rivers voice, Gods tender tone.
And the river in heaven in its crystal calm
Found its way through the golden bars,
Flowing upward, beyond the garden of stars,
To the feet of God and his Lamb.
Oh. royal river! radiant river!
River of Light-river of Life

Twas a summer ago when he left me here,
4 summer Of smiles with never tear,
Kill | said to him with a sob, My dearl
Goodby. my lover; goodbyi
Tor loved him, Oh, as the stars love night
6nd my cheeks for him flashed red and white
When he first called me his hearts delight:
Soodby, my loYeT; good5y!
The touch Of his hand was a thing divine
As he sat with me in the soft moonshine
And drank Of my love as men drink wine.
Goodby, my lover; eoodbyl
And never a night ;.s knelt in prayer,
In gown as white IS our own souls were,
But in fancy he carae and kissed me there:
Goodby, my loYer: goodbyl
But now, 0 God what an empty place
Ny whole heart isl OF the old embrace
And the kiss loved, there is not trace:
Goodby, my lover; goodbyl
He sailed not over the stormy sea,
And he went not down in the waves, not he;
But oh, he is lost, for he married me:
Goodby, my lover; goodbyi

4 Farewell

TO C. E. G.
My fairest child, have no song to give you;
No lark could pipe in skies SO duh and gray;
Yet, if you will, one quiet hint III leave you
For every day.
III tell you how to sing clearer carol
Than lark who halls the dawn or breezy
down;
TO earn yourself a purer poets laurel
Than Shakespeare's crown.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever;
Do lovely things, not dream them, all day
long,
And so make life and death, and that forever,
One graifd sweet song.

There are 4, ,000, 900, 900 cigars made an
nually in the United States, and twice as
many cigarettes. These are exclusive of
the imported ones which number many
millions more. II 10 the statistics given
we add the quantity Of tobacco used for
pipe smoking. chewing and snuffing, we
get an idea of what kind Of a tobacco using
people we are. A little while since vig-
orous warfare was waged against the Gig
arctic, especially as far as the sale Of them
to boys was concerned, but it hasdied out,
and Judging by our own observations the
number of boys who smoke cigarettes is
larger today than prior to the passage of
the law which prohibits the sale of them
to boys under sixteen.
II addition to the above, it is conceded
that the number Of women who indulge in
cigarette smoking is constantly and rapid
" increasing. The habit. vulgar as it is,
is likely 70 become as prevalent in the
United States as It has always been in
