The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the mem

has been attained is gratefully blessed.

ROBERT BURNS.

Fletcher says: Let me make the
songs Of a people and you shall make its
laws" If song is more constrainiDg
than law, what must have been the in
huence of the lyrics of Robert Burns in
his own country and in other lands where
they have been admired. OF a truth,
much of his poetry is law-primOrdial
mandates emanating from the invisible
source of beauty, truth and love-which
found expression through the person of
the obscure farmer of Ayre. In short,
Robert Burns was a genius, born poet
Such being the case it was unnecessary
for him to ransack the musty tones of
legendary literature or to 90 beyond the
narrow precincts of his town to find
abundant material for his willing pen to
decorate. He manifested the true poetic
instinct which intuitively recognizes in
the common objects and affairs of life
the things adapted to its treatment. The
surroundings of Burns at Ayre were no
more interesting or inspiring than those
of ordinary farm life, and the period in
which he lived was uneventful. Yet
ceaseless melody goes out from those
acres upon which he tOiled and multi
tudes visit his home.
The characteristics Of the poetry of
Burns are perspicuity, terseness and sim
cerity. He has something TO say and
says it with such marvellous simplicity.

discover sentiments. With the brilliant
light of his genius he penetrates into the
crannies of the human soul and exposes
rare gems TO the delighted gaze of the
intellect. On this the eve of the anniver-
sary of the birth of Robert Burns it is
meet that his excellencies should be cele-
brated. He gave the world such treas
ures as it rarely receives, was true

Thackeray composed and wrote lis
novels on long note paper in the most
feminine handwriting. The manuscript
he frequently took down to his publisher
in the crown of his hat, stopping en- route
at the Garrick Club to take lunch or the
ante-prandal cocktail. When writing
"Philip on His Way Through the
World" he told, with seriO-cOmic
earnestness, of the necessity he was
under of spinning out more chapters be-
cause it was necessary to put another
story on his his house at Kensington
Gardens, and phillip must do the job.
On that occasion he said:
''Do you know that both Dickens and
myself are imposing on the public, fol
we have worked out our own views very
much and dig out more dress than ore?'
ThackeTay was too sensitive to make a
good lecturer or take pleasure in appear
ing personally before the public. as
Dickens did. He used to say: Hang
this lecturing; it is the most unsatis-
factory thing to me you can imagine. If
NY audience does not applaud me | feel
mortified, because have failed to inter-
est them. II they applaud me feel like

uncomfortable both ways. ."-She6ield

DOES EXPERIENCE COUNT ?

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising medicines.
This is illustrated in the great superiority
of Hoods Sarsaparilla over other rprepar-
atiOns, as shown by the remarkable
cures it has accomplished.
The head of the firm of c.. /. Hood &
Co. is a thoroughly competent and ex.
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and &C tual
preparation of medicines. He is also a
member of the Massachusetts, and Amer.
lean Pharmaceutical Association, and
continues actively devoted to supervis
ing the preparation of and managing the
business connected with, Hoods Sarsa
parilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built up
on the most substantial foundation. In
| its preparation there is represented al
the knowledge which modern research il
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience, brain-wOrk anC
experiment. 1t is only necessary to givt
this medicine fair trial to realize it
great curative value.

A simple manner is the distinguishing
trait of well born man or woman.
A woman may be attired most stylishly
without wearing a single fashionably
made garment.
A pair of ornamental letter scales is an
appropriate gift for any woman who pos
sesses a desk.
Fur is used as borders even upon even
ing dresses-around the low bodice and
short sleeves.
The smallest French bonnets - and
they are all little more than medium
sized pancakes-are crownless.
The complaint from London is that
dresses are growing longer and more
incOnvenient that the dress suspender is
coming into use.
The china most in use for luncheon
parties is pure white. With this any or
namental and floral decorations may be
employed.
The deep basques which are gradually
effecting a revolution in bOdices are said
to have been introduced by the women
who hunt in England.
The rage for high collars is carried to
such an extent in Paris that even on low

made to stand up like ruff.
A neat and ornamental book cover
makes a very pretty gift, as the dainty

The keynote to all good dressing is an

''Be a good boy and you may 'scrape

said grandma, that whatever we have

The young gentleman referred to was
inclined to poke fun at Nellie's culinary
exploits-"but he won't, when he gets a

proudly.

wailed-then in an instant his manner

had almost thrust it into her eye, saying,
"rll match you," when Nell pulled him
away saying she would report him to
Mr. ComstOck-or his ally-that meant
her father. Rob promised to be good,
lawful good" and Immediately be-
thought himself of large armful of

to get it,
After Nell had got some other work
done it was time to get dinner, and
grandma gave the directions for the
soup.
bring up a cabbage, Nelly Blythe,
and we'll have some of Aunt Sally
Nc Smiley's soup. Into two quarts of
cold water put three hcaping teacups of
chopped cabbage. 1t will cook in an
hour or so. Then add salt, pepper and
butter as for oyster sonp, and if Master
Ralph can t eat that and call it good, he
must be 'chump,' as read awhile ago
that they call man in Philadelphia, if
he sits in a rocking chair and rocks in

And now we will leave the Cherry

Nelly Blythe for trying to do the best
she could, and we hope there may be
many Nelly Blythe to cheer us on
our way.
