A LESSON IN LOVE.

Love is not WISE" they say
Those sage advisers that have lived and
died,
And in their sterner moments put aside
The arch intruder from their way;
'Love is not wise," they say.
They seek to frighten thee
Thou who art far from their old, stupid
world,
And on the airy wings of youth art whirled
Above all practically;
They seek to frighten thee.
Decline their wisdom now
And seek that only that Cur hearts perceive,
Only that grand. great bliss which believe
Comes from our spirits secret VOW
Decline their wisdom now

common use, few words in regard to
washing them may be of interest. AS
silk is an animal fiber. like wool, it cam
not be treated in the same way as cot

of all temperatures without injury.
Silk should be washed as rapidly as pos.
sible. Examine the articles to be wash
ed, and ii there are any parts especially
soiled clean with little benzine or gas
oline, applied with a flannel cloth. Then
prepare soapsuds OF lukewarm water
and plunge the garments in it, sousing
them up and down and rubbing them
thoroughly in the suds Rinse them into
water little cooler, and then into a
third water still a little cooler, and go
ON until the final rinslng water il per-

Is the Season for Catarrhal Dyspepsia
The Blood Must be Cleansed.
The symptoms of catarrhal dyspepsia are:
Coated tongue, pain or heavy feeling in the
stomach, sour stomach, belching of gas.
dizzy head, sometimes headache, desp0ndent
feelings, loss of appetite, palpitatioh OF the
heart and irregularity Of the bowels.
For this condition Pe-ru-na Is found to be
an admirable remedy. In all cases it brings
prompt rylief to the painful symptoms and
In large per cent of the cases it makes q
permanent cure. Pe-ru-na soothes the in
famed mucous surface, and thus strikes at
the root of the disease. In cases where the
Inflammation has been so severe and con-
tinued Ms to produce extreme irritabili'y of
the stomach the remedy may be taken in
small doses at first, diluted in water; but as
soon as the improvement is sufficient to per-
init full dose to be taken undiluted, it is
better way and the cure is much more
rapid. Pe-ru-na is also spring medicine
which at once removes the cause of al at
fections peculiar to the spring season by
purifying the blood of all COMMUNICATIONS
and intigorating the whole system.
Two valuable books-Famlly physician
