And that another could thy wound anneal
With gentle tenderness and loving care,

When ] am dendl
I only AK she be not like 10 me-
As I was dark, let her be fresh and fair
Instead OF brown locks waving wild and free,
Close TO her head coil round the golden hair;
And may she tower stately, grand and tall
I shall not mind that I was frail and small
Whom / am dead
So that she come not nesting 70 thy side,
Nor climb up TO the level ., ~ heart,
And lavish kisses without stint or pride,
Or beg sweep pity for some pain or smart
As / was wont-nor Loves expression crave
To be, a. I, loves gladly fettered slave
When / am deadi
Nay, love her as thou wilt, and as she Will,
With fullest need, and with a conscience

In quiet corner garnered, close and dear.
II a true heart should give thee Of its best
As 1 did once, I shall the happier rest

The Flnwer God.

Since time out of memory alteration
of plants and flowers has been the pre-
vailing form of worship in many sec
tions of the far east. Even to this day
certain communities of Buddhists and
Mohammedans pray by the hour before
their favorite plant or flower. In India
this species of worship seems to be
most prevalent recent published
work on oriental travel has this to say
of the believers in flower gods: A true
Persian in flowing robes of blue would
saunter in and stand and mediate over
every flower he saw and always as If
half in vision. And when the vision was
fulfilled. and the ideal flower he was
seeking found. he would spread his
mat and sit before il until the setting
of the sun. At sunset he would pray
devoutly, fold up his mat and go home.
The next night. and night after night
until that particular flower faded, he
would return to it and bring his friends
in ever increasing troops and sit and
sit and play the guitar and lutte before
il, and so again and again
every evening until the flower died.
Sometimes, by way of grand finale,
the whole company would suddenly
arise before the flower and serenade il
together with an ode from Hafiz and
then depart. Tribune.

A good eye is an almost essential re-
quisite in a good mechanic. No one
can ever attain distinction as a me-
chanic unless he is able to detect or,ii-
nary imperfections at sight, so that he
can see if things are out of plumb, out
of level. out of square and out ofproper
shape, and unless he can also detect
disproportioned patterns. This is a
great mechanical attainment and one
which can be readily attained by any
ordinary person. OF course there are
defective eyes as there are other de-
fective organs The speech, for in
stance, is sometimes defective but the
eve is susceptible of the same training
as any organ. The muscles, the voice,
the sense of hearing, all require train
ing. Consider how the artist must
train the organ of sight in order to de-
tect the slightest imperfection in shade,
color, proportion, shape, expression.

Beware of Poison.

The Druggists Circular and Chemical
Gazette is one of the best papers of its
class in the United States. In arguing
the question Of poison in the household il
oites the following case: "A gentleman
in Indiana placed on his bureau two bot
ties, of similar appearance, one containing
cough mixture and the other liniment.
Early in the morning, being troubled with
a cough, he arose and took, as he sup
posed, dose of the mixture prepared for
his relief, but BY mistake he took the linl-
ment. 1t was said TO contain aoonite and
death resulted fiom the error" Do not
take medicine containing poison. Many
cough remedies contain opium in such
Quantities that when the second dose IS
taken, death is likely TO ensue. Chill
dren are particularly liable TO accident
from this cause. Reds German Cough
and Kidney Cure contains no poison in
any form, neither opiates nor narcotics.
It is impossible TO take an overdose. Get
it of any dealer. Small bottles IS cents,
large ones 50 cents.

Essentials of Telford and Macadam Road
Construction.
The essential difference between a
Telford and Macadam road is in the
foundation. The Telford base is
made of six or eight-inch rocks or
powders. or large pieces of irregular
shaped stone, on which is placed layer
of coarsely broken stone. and this is
surfaced with pieces which do not aver
age more than three-quarters of an inch
in diameter. The Macadam road has
the foundation of broken stone an inch
and half to two inches in diameter, a
second covering somewhat smaller and
the top finer yet. These differences are
shown in the illustration.
During nearly century these roads
have been in use, and there have been
some changes more in detail than in
principle. The Macadam roadway is
frequently made in two layers. Some
times the first GOVERN g is only four or
five inches, followed by a second OF
about the same thickness. At other
times the covering aggregates thirteen
or fourteen inches, divided into three
LAYERS. In the original Telford road
the inventor insisted that the broken
stone be such as would pass through a
.wo-and-a- half-inch ring, and that the
