The Two Mysteries.

We know not what it is, dear,
This sleep so deep and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm,
The cheek so pale and still,
The lids that will not lift again,
Though we may call and call,
The strange white solitude of peace
That settles over all
We know not what it means, dear,
This desolate heart and pain,
The dread to take our daily way,
And walk in it again.
We know not to what sphere
The loved who leave us go,
Nor why we're left to wander still,
Nor why we do not know.
But this we know: our loved and lost,
II they should come this day,
Should come and ask us, What is life?
Not one of us could say.
Life is mystery
AS deep as death can ever be;
Yet oh, how sweet it is to us,
This life we live and see!
Then might they say, those vanished ones,
And blessed is the thought,
So death is sweet to us, beloved,
Though we may tell you naught.
We may not tell it to the quick,
This mystery of death,
Ye may not tell it il ye would,
The mystery of breath.
The child that enters life comes not
With knowledge or intent;
So those who enter death must go
AS little children sent.
Nothing is known, but believe
That God is overhead,
And as life is to the living,
So death is to the dead

Clematis in Decoration.

If one has never used clematis for
decorating she can have no idea of the
effectiveness of this flower and the
many ways in which it can be used. 1t
can be arranged in large vase or bowl
if intended for the table or mantel, and
when thus used the flowers should be
clustered together in loose masses,
using the green leaves as background
to bring out the beauty of the bloom.
Large branches are very effective
massed upon platter filled with wet
sand, and some sprays falling over the
edge. This is especially pretty in a
window corner, on little table, or on
the window sill if it be broad. The
white clematis is much handsomer for
house decoration, because it is more
easily brought into harmony with its

They were two bright women-one

The health discourse ended in an enjoy

caller went on her way boldly to meet
digestive consequences, while the hostess
took her valuable food theories back to
her embrace prepared to air them on the
next occasion which presented itself.

THERE is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proved catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by f. j.
Cheney q Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses of from
ten drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Adde'S,

Value of Order.

Messrs. Harper Brothers have just
published a little book, by Anna G.
Bracket, entitled "The Technique of
Rest" that is full of sound suggestion
to womankind. Many housekeeper
loses time, patience and temper for
want of an orderly arrangement of her
belongings. "The old New England
saying Of "a place for everything and
everything in its place is in need of
revival by those of US who want time
saved for relief. If we are not the
possessors of an instinct for order,
we must create and diligently cultivate
it, AS to the many small articles of a
woman's wardrobe-which should be
30 arranged that she can get any of
them in the dark as well as in the
light-a little of the invention, always
necessary if we are to find our way out
of the difficulty that we are living in,
will be sufficient to instruct carpenter
so that there may be in the top drawer
place for everything, out of which it
cannot slip because of partitions which
shut it in. l have a friend who has
her shoe drawer also arranged in di-
visions, so that she never has to stop to
hunt for the mate to a shoe, the pairs
lying always together. Some may think
this useless thing, but l happen to
know this woman does an almost in
credible amount of work in different
lines, and that she never keeps any
body who has an engagement with her
waiting for one moment. These re-
suits may seem worthy of attainment,
as they certainly enable her to meet the
many calls upon her attention in a
quiet frame of mind. 1t is the little
foxes that spoil the vines, and the little
things that tell upon nervous strength

BURMAH is the country for the
woman's rights woman. There the
women choose their own husbands and
the man has no choice but to accept

prove previous engagement Then
when the wife tires of her selection she
just turns him out of doors and tries
