THE PAST LOVE.
DORA READ GooDALE IN HARPER's WEEKLY.

DORA READ GooDALE IN HARPERs WEEKLY.
A hate the bronze leaves and the red,
And that pale flower with futtering stalk
That lined the shadow poplar walk
Where our first words of love were SAID.
We loved: the corn was in the ear;
Gay hunters made the hilsides ring;
And, oh. love seemed Il beauteOus thing,
And all we sighed for close and neari
/ hate the woodlands spicy smell,
Through whose wild sweets at dusk we strayed
Arm linked in arm, by rock and glade,
While the heart whispered, ''All is WE'LL"
Was mine the fault that love was brief
The wonder of matchess day
Whose glory dimmed and Gied away
Like the red color on leaf
Wa mine the fault that all that flame
Passed - a breath and ceased to bef
Heirs of fruitieSs hope were we;
Worthy of pity more than blame
We parted: and the icy gust
Shipped the dull forests withered plume,
Aud cast II through the echoing gloom
In purple fringes mixed with dust:
Let winter sweep the desolate aisles,
And make their stones his wnnOwing floor.
Nay, let the green spring come once more
And light 1t with immortal smiles!

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing wilkbe destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by Catarrh) that we
can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

Neckwear.

A we'll dressed man needs to give atten-
ton to three details of his dress, namely,
his hat, his necktie and his shoes. His
gloves also are of much Importance, for
the general law that the eXtremities are
the most conspicuous parts of the body re-
quires them to be the most carefully
dressed if the impression of elegance is to
emanate from the person. The law of the
neckgear is the other, but is none the less
imperative. Every work of art, says new
philosopher of clothes, demands what is
known as point of rest. This point of
rest is found to be the central point-the
pivot, so to speak-from which all the rest
of the composition derives it's significance.
This point of rest in the toilet is, he says,
the neckwear. 1t gives significance to all
the rest of the toilet
Surely the words of man who can talk
about neckties in such wise terms as this
ought to be regarded. The philosopher
goes on to insist that it is poor economy
for man who wishes to give the appear
ance of elegance in dress to wear anything
but the best quality of neckties. These
cost money, he says, but it is the best pos
sible investment, for the necktie is the first
detail of a mans dress that makes an inn
preston on the beholder. If it is cheap or
shabby the general impression is one of
cheapness and shabbiness. If that is rich
in material and carefully disposed, even if
the rest of the garments be of mediocer
quality, the general impression is one of
care and riohuess.-San Francisco Argo-

CLAIMING Hands as a Salute.

Among the UvinZa, "when two gran.
dees' meet, the junior leans forward, bends
his knees and places the palms of his hands
on the ground on each side of his feet,
while the senior claps his own hands six or
seven times. They then change round, and
the junior slaps himself first under the left
armpit and then under the right. But
when a swell meets an inferior the supe-
rior only claps his hands, and does not fully
return the salutation by following the mo-
tions of the ono who first salutes. On two
commoncrs meeting they pat their stom-
achs, then clap hands at each other, and
finally shake hands. These greetings are
observed to an unlimited extent, and the
sound of patting and clapping is almost
unceasing."
Serpa Pinto found this ceremonial clap
ping in violent exercise among the Am
buellas. Paul du Chaillu reports the
salute of the lshogos to be clapping the
hands together and stretching them out
alternately several times. Among the
Walunga, in the morning, on every side a
continuous clapping Of hands goes on
with the accompaniment of "kwi-tata,
kwi-tata" which is their mode of saying
Glow dye do?" If a chief passes they
drop on their knees, bow their heads to
the ground, clap vigorously and humbly
mutter, "kwi-tata, kwi-tata?" The clap
ping distinguishes the ceremony from that
of mere prostratiOn.-Col Garrick Mallery
in Popular Science Monthly.

The Sponge.

Ii you look at the sponge you use for
your bath you will see that it is covered all
over with small holes, with here and there
toward the top some large ones. Now try
to realize that in life this creature, the
skeleton of which you wash yourself with,
was composed as to its fleshy parts of small
cells. The whole structure as it was in life
might be compared to a city intersected by
canals. Ever so many little canals gave
entrance to the sea water, which was ex-
PEELED through the big orifices In this
way it was managed that no large foreign
objects could be sucked in, while the sew
ers, rs they might be called, were wide
enough to drive anything out by-Wash-

feeling of enjoyment and to the unbound

Youth How full of delight and how beau
teous in infancy, although, like the early
blossom of spring, 1T feels the chills that
its nature is heir to. We press the elastic
muscle, full and soft, of the healthful
child, and pass our fingers through the
glossy curls and fondly pinch the rosy,
dimpled cheek, and gaze in the laughing
eyes, and express with enthusiasm our adj
miration of the promise nature gives of its
future perfection-we know not what; but
we feel and know that we love youth, even
in its imbeciiity. As it approaches to and
attains maturity, how admirable, how
lovely is youth in its pristine purity!
Though man may not measure the power
of God by his own weakness, he may and
must love youth, beauty and purity; and
while such love is active in him he must
adore his infinitely good creator.-New
York Ledger.
