n COMING DAY.
A better day is coming, girls.

A better day is coming, girls,
Just wait a little longer.
Its morning breeze now sweeps the trees,
Its light is growing stronger.
The car of progress rus hes on,
Fresh spoils of conquest bringing,
And on the higher planes of life
The birds of hope are singing.
Harkl on the zephyrs of the west
A strong, new sound is swelling!
OF equal rights and juster laws
Its stirring notes are telling
Blind prejudice and hoary wrongs
Are swiftly disappearing.
And woman, pleading for her own,
Commands respectful hearing.
Wyoming, in her mountain home.
Her lesson still repeating,
To Colorado, newly won.
Displays her star in greeting.
And both. in gold and silver decked,
Like queens of ancient history,
Now watch and wait, while Kansas comes
To join them in their glory.
Across the states the spirit spreads,
Back TO its primal sources,
Where woman's rights, in modern sense,
First mustered in their forces,
Where Lucy Stone and Susan b.
Led kindred souls to battle
For woman's higher hopes and needs
And raised her from a chattel.
Through storms of ridicule and scorn
They bore their cause undaunted,
Till through the land, from shore to shore,
Its burning truths are planted.
Their light is shining brightly, girls
Each year tits growing stronger
Truth must prevail and error fail.
Just wait a little longer!

Opium In Honey.

The increased cultivation of poppy
in various parts of Europe has, it is
said, led to a marked growth in the
percentage of opium contained in
honey, the properties of which are
much influenced by the flowers from
which the bees gather it. This Is
nothing new, for Xenophon relates
that his soldiers were intoxicated by
eating Trebizond honey, extracted
presumably from the peoples which
abound i'll that region.-Philadel-

THE DUST-HOl MAN.

One of the Many Queer Characters to Be-
Seen In London Streets.
AS It isnow morning, writes a Lon
don correspondent of the Boston Her
aid, We shall see some Dickenslike
characters. What American fails to
find such of interests Listen! A
strange cry bursts on the ear. Pres
emily we make it out. 1t is dust
boil Dust-hoii" Then a man ap-
pears, walking beside a huge cart and
plodding horse. He is n of the reg
ular parish collectors of dust and
cinders. He has his rounds in this
particular vestry twice a week. He
comes to your side house entrance
door, which is also your servants or
tradesman's door, and removes your
refuse in big baskets.
The tradition is that you pay him
nothing, as you + entitled, being a
householder and ratepayer, to have
your dust bin cleared at such times as
you wish. Ordinarily this is about
once in three weeks. You must not
empty green vegetable parings in the
bin. These must be burned. Like
most traditions, it is honored better
in the breach than in the observance
for the fact is you pay the ''dust-hoi
man" twopence gratuity for beer. Ii
he invested his daily takings thus, he
would go home fairly inebriated.
When Christmas comes, he will per.
haps ask for his Christmas box

you like to present.
Why ''hoi," | don't know, as the
cry Is dust" But once when l in

The ''dust-hoi' is a serious person.
He never jokes with the scullery
maid, who regards him as being quite
lower in class than the cook, but
much above herself in social rank.

In Case, of shock.

A person IN the state termed
shock is in a very critical condition.
Medical assistance should be procured
a. soon as possible. The face will be
deathly pale, the body covered with
cold ~perspiration, pulse very feeble
and the mind bewildered, or there
may be complete loss of conscious
ness. Ii the patient is dressed, loosen
all the clothing about the neck and
chest, apply heat to the extremities,
to the pit of the stomach, under the
arms. and mustard over the heart.
Give stimulants freely, and if there
Is nausea give bits of cracked ice

THE CURTAIN.


ftohI
A thrill of rapturous applause
From every row ascending.
The actor gives "a gracious pause,
To those before low bending.
Admired of all the ladies rare,
What compliments they utter!
How many hearts amid the fair
Are now set in a fiutteri
The play goes on. The curtain falls
Upon the act of ~splendor.
Each heart emotional recalls
Its incidents so tender.
Oh, sweet the glamor of the scene.
With nothing coarse to break it!
Imagination rules serene,
And fancy's what we make it.
BEHIND.
The leading lady, just deceased,
Has got a fit of laughter.
The leading man, from toll released,
A sandwich has sent after.
The pasteboard rocks are put aside,
The lovely sylphs are yawning.
The dancing girls in plain clothes hide.
No beaux around them fawning.
The funny men are scowling now,
And he who gold dust scattered
Upon the scene, with happy brow,
Looks doleful now mt shattered.
And so il is throughout the days
OF this our life uncertain.
To view it truly, you must gaze
On both sides of the curtain.
