Fair are the flowers and the children, but
their subtle suggestion is fairer;
Rare is the roseburst Of dawn, but the secret
that clasps it is rarer: II
Sweet the exultance Of song, but the str ain
that precedes it is sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ but the mean
ing outmastered the metre.
Never daisy that grows but mystery
guideth the growing;
Never a river that flows but majesty scep-
tres the flowing.
Never Shakespeare that scared but o
stronger than he did enfold him;
Nor ever prophet foretells but a mightieI
seer hath foretold him.
Back OF the canvas that throbs the painter

Into the statue that breathes the soul of the

Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite is
sues of feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the glory
that crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols Of being, but that
which is symboled is greater;
Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the
inward creator;
Back of the sound broods the silence; back
of the gift stands the giving;
Back of the hand that receives thrill the
sensitive nerves of receiving.
Space is as nothing to spirit; the deed is out.

The heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer

Twin voices and shadows swim starward,

Sponge Out Headache.

The ordinary nervous headache will be
greatly relieved and in many cases Ell
tirely cured by removing the waist of
ones dress, knotting the hair high up on
the head out of the way and, while lean
ing over basin, placing a sponge
soaked in water as hot as it can be borne
on the back of the neck.
Repeat this many times, also applying
the sponge behind the cars, and the
strained muscles and nerves that have
caused so much misery will be felt to re-
lax and smooth themselves out delicious
ly, and very frequently the pain prompt.
ly vanishes in consequence.
Every woman knows the aching face
and neck generally brought home from
hard days shopping or from long
round of calls and afternoon teas.
She regards with intense dissatisfac-
ton the heavy lines drawn around her
eyes and mouth by the long strain on the
facial muscles, and when she must carry
that worn countenance to some dinner
party or evenings amusement, it robs
her of all the pleasure to be had in it.
Cosmetics are not the cure, nor bro.
mides nor the many nerve sedatives to
be had at the drug store.
Use the sponge and hot water again,
bathing the face in water as hot as it can
possibly be borne; apply the sponge over
and over again to the temples, throat
and behind the ears, where most of the
nerves and muscles of the head center,
and then bathe the face in water running
cold from the faucet. Color and smooth
ness of outline come back to the face, an
astonishing freshness and comfort is the
result, and if a nap of ten minutes can
follow every trace of fatigue will van
ish.
The same remedy is invaluable for
sunburn, and the worst case of this lat
ter afiliction of sensitive skins will sue
cumb to the hot-water treatment. The
cold douche should not follow in this
case; instead light application of vas
cline of cold cream, which prevents
peeling of the skin, as the hot water pre-
vented inflammation.
Nothing so good for tired eyes has
yet been discovered as bathing them in
hot water, and neuralgia nine cases out
of ten will yield to applications of cloths
wrung out in hot water in which the
hand cannot be borne. Boston Globe.

Teeth and Hair Not Indispensable.

With us there is, to say the least, a
strong and decided prejudice in favor of
luxuriant tresses and pearly teeth. But
it is only "a prejudice, and by no means
universal. We sec no lack of beauty in
the infants naked, rosy scalp, or in its
sweet little toothless mouth. We even
see kind of majestic beauty in the ivory
dome that covers the sage's busy brain.
A white, shining billiard ball is by no
means unpleasing to the eye, and no one
can fancy its beauty improved by cover
ing half of it with coat of hair, how
ever soft and silky, lustrous, brown or
golden. Birds had teeth once; how
should we welcome prospect of the re-
turn, retrogression, to their former
semi-reptiliant condition2 Would you
think your canary or your brilliant-h -hued
cockatoo improved in its appearance if
the smooth, even edges of its bill were
garnished with saws of pearly teeth like
q little feathered and winged alligator?
The possession of full complement of
teeth has always been regarded as an in.
dispensable condition of perfect health.
To our prehistoric ancestors, who had no
other grain mills than their molars, it
must have been so, and the modern sol
dier in active service would find his
hard-tack and leathery salt beef rather
unsatisfactory fare without the dental in
tegrity which the examining surgeon so
properly insists upon. But the constant
ly improving science of cookery supplies
the remedy for the civilian, and as to the
soldier, he is, like his teeth, relic of
undeveloped civilization. The "dogs of
war" must go, teeth and all. Experience
has demonstrated that the luxurious diet
of civilization, which gives so little for
the teeth to do, is, on the whole, more
to vitality and longevity than
the hard fare of sayagery. Long before
toothless gums shall have become the
rule all occasion fer teerh will have
passed, either for beauty or use.-N0yth

An OblIging Young Indian.

Two young women were alone one day
when a young Indian brave whom they
knew came 10 see the man of the houses,
says a Yankton IN. D. letter to the
Springfield Republican. The man was
away and the Indian sat down to wait
for him. During this interval the girls,
being of a lively turn, began asking him
questions about his former mode of life
among other things they asked him TO
give war-whoop and show them how
he scalped people, but he gave no an
swer. Some time after when they were
talking of other subjects, and had for.
gotten all about him, he sprang up sud
denly, gave war-whoop that made the
house-top ring; then snatching his big
knife that lay on the table with one
hand he took the topknot of one of the
girls in the other, and ran the back of
the knife around her scalp. They were
each scalped in this manner and were
nearly frightened out of their wits, but
he sat down and began Il iaTgh and told
them he had only done what they asked
him to do. They soon recovered from
the shock " laughed heartily at the

He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song
But we were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long;
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberrles,
Or slept among the hay
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear us play
The rare old tunes-the dear old tunesP-
We could not starve for long
While my man had his violin
And l my sweet love.song,
The world has aye gone we'll with us,
Old Man, since we were onei-
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
1t long ago was done.
But those who wait for gold or gear
For houses and for kline,
Till youths sweet spring grows brown and

And love and beauty time,

That met without fear
When you had but your violin
And song, my dear.

A Hunters Paradise.

A correspondent, writing from the
State of Washington, says: In this uu-
known land, bear, elk and the noble
black tailed deer exist in almost count
less numbers, and in all but perfect fear
lessness of man, and here, from the great
difficulty of access to their domain, the

Vegetable Cnternillnrs.

One of the queerest things of Tasmania,
New Zealand, and other parts of Austral-
asia is the bulrush or vegetable caterpil.
lar. This wonderful plant is fungus,
a sphaeria, which grows seven or eight
inches above the ground, generally in a
single stem, round and thiclIly covered
with brown seed for some five or six in
ches, ending in a curved worm-like point.
1t is usually found growing at the roots
of a particular tree, the "rata" of the
natives. When this plant is pulled up its
single root is found to be the exact
counterpart of large caterpillar, say
one three or four inches long, which, al
though it preserves every detail of such
grubs, dissection proves it to be solid
wood.
Intelligent persons of the countries
named above say that this curiosity is
formed in the following manner: A
large species of moth feeds on the 'rata"
tree; the grub of this moth burrows in
the ground; the seed of the spacria gets
lodged between the scales on the grub's
neck, strikes root and completely turns
the interior of the creature into a woody
substance. In every case the shell of the
grub is left intact, no small rootlets pune
turing it at any point. Scientists say that
the above explanation is all "bosh," and
that the plant develops the form of a
caterpillar because it is its nature to do
SO. If this be true, why should we laugh
at the stories of the Mandrake Man and
the Scythian Lamb, specimens OF which
are preserved in the Surgeons Museum,
London?-C Chicag0 Herald.

A well.known manufacturer claims
that the only proper way of making a
ready-mixed paint in which there is a
considerable portion of white lead and
zinc white present, to keep indefinitely, is
to emulsify the oil. This prevents the
chemical action which the painter knows
as ''fatting," that is, prevents the for

soap which will not dry.
John T. Campbell presented, in the
American Association, the evidence in
support of his belief that there was, in
the Wabash River, one last great flood
near the close of glacial time, and that
then the water-supply was so cut off or
diminished that there was never another
freshet large enough to wipe out or
modify the marks it left. This food, in
the opinion of the author, carried about
one hundred times as much water as do
the great floods of the present time.

Mrs. Henry M. Stanley, wife of the
explorer, gave an interview at Mime
apolis, Mimi, to a reporter. She said
it was the first interview she has granted
in this country. Asked as to her idea OF
the United States, Mrs. Stanley said;
"Oh, it is very great, and cannot find
words to express my admiration of the
many things l have seen. There are such
magnificent buildings and luxurious
homes; such straight, broad and we'll
planned streets-in fact, everything is
on such a huge SCALE" She thinks New
York City lacking in finish, its streets
beastly dirty and kept in wretched re-
pair; the Elevated Railroad, although a
capital method of locomotion, very ugly.
The American people she considers ex-
tremely hospitable, and the American re-
porter came in for his share of atten
tion on account of the numerous inter
views written by him which have no
basis in fact.
