Why l Sing.

sing. Oh, what else should do
While heart keeps fresh and life keep
new,
While spirit pulses beat within,
And there are victories to win?
sing. Imprisoned songs grow sad.
It is their birthright to be glad,
Their birthright TO be free and fly,
AS happy birds In air and sky,
Who nestle low or seek the stars,
But were not made for prison bars.
sing. Perchance my song will be
A song of tender ministry.
Some listening ear may bend to hear
Some weary heart feel life more dear,
And evermore the echo hold
OF what In simplest song told.
--Rosalie Vanderwater
What Is the boasted good
That wealth, that power, can OWN
Better be loved slave
Than hated on throne.

Prescription puts stop to it. It's
q remedy for all the delicate de-
engagements and disorders that make
her suffer, and cure for all the dis
eases and disturbances that make

strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-

That's true. But they don't claim
to do this: if the Favorite Pre-

worth nearly $11,0O0,00O The jan

the January sales, a safe estimate of
the next July sales would be 81, 600, 600.

A Girls Pin Cushion.

A novel pin cushion. and one which
may be fashioned at very little expense,
is made in the shape of an egg, writes
Anna T. Roberts In "Dainty Accesso.
rieS for Girls Room" in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. Cut two pieces
of cardboard any size you may desire,
cover neatly with ecru or white linen.
and after this Is done sew the two pieces
together. The decoration, which con-
sists of violets with their leavesaand
buds, can be either embroidered or
painted. If embroidered the flowers
should be worked in two or three
shades OF the violet silks. with a
tiny French knot of gold-colored
silk in the center of each. En-
broider the stems in varied shades Of
green, bronze and gray-greens: these
are exceedingly pretty and harmonious.
The design will have to be embroidered
before the linen is put over the card
board. If painting is preferred it is
more easily accomplished after the PIN
cushion is finished, as there will then be
no danger of rubbing the painting.
Place pins all round the edge of the egg
and finish with bow of violet ribbon
with long, flowing ends. Pin-cushions
made in this way can be decorated with
any spring flowers the fancy dictates,
and are exceedingly pretty when sus-
pended from a bureau or dressing stand.
They also make very dainty Easter
presents.
