Towards my fringe where ought to shine
The silver Of the hrst gray hair.

The joys unwedded women miss
The husbands smile. the chiidren's kiss

Are wakencd for the happy wife
(Ihere's no such thing as married strife
In this enlightened age. wo know.
And when they feel extremely kind.
They picture things tha: might have BEEN"
And think the men are very blind
Who rate the ''graces OF the mind
Below the charms of sweet seventeen.

My life has still its golden days:
And round ny weilloved maiden name
Cling many tender hope and aim
Apart from m ankind and their waye
Has light winged Cupid futtered BY,
And is there only shadow left.
Not SO; the sun is in the sky:
Why should fold my hands and sigh
Like one OF brightness quite bereft!
But since am not made Of ice.

And whisper som ething very nice,

Future OF the Microscope.


As the physicians ass distant and guide
in diagnosis, the microscope is coming
rapidly to the front. 1t is now the
custom with some advanced physicians,
whenever there is . case with obscure
symptoms, or where consultations are
thought necessary, to draw few drops
of the patients blood and examine it
under the microscope. This almost
invariably decides the condition. and
is, in many diseases. an infallible
guide, as the blood is the great sewer
age system Of humanity. 1t takes mp
aud carries to the lungs whatever im-
purities may exist There they are
consumed or exhaled. 1t therefore
stands to reason that the blood is the
index to the state of the system. An
other test adopted by all up-to-date
doctors is the examination of the per-
spiration after . great degree OF heat
has been applied to the body. The
sufferer is put into q steam box, and
after some moments Of profuse perspi-
ration the surface of the body is
scraped with sharp steel instrument.
by means of which whatever impuri-
ties are thrown out may be taken from
the pores. This, with the blood exam
ination, is thought by some practition-
ers to afford all of the assistance nee.
essary in determining the nature o!
the most obscure diseases OF course,
there are what may be called new dis
eases, and this method will enable the
skilled microscopic TO detect them
and study their genesis and treatment

GHOST OF THE CAPITOL
what An Old Guide ln the Nations Bulldinl
Claims to Have Seen.


Claims to Have Seen-
Queer happenings about the capitol1
echoed the old guide who shows vis-
the great marble palace on the hill
l reckon I could tell you hundred II
l happened to think of 'em. Do you
want something about the wanderin'
ghost in the crypt, the same as was
forgotten there one night by his sol
dier companions and never was heard
of again? Now that would make =
nice story for q newspaper, for his
spirit is supposed to be cavortin'
around the crypt still, lookin' for ,
way out But that's been done mp in
print before. This same ghost be-
longs to soldier chap, but that crypt
really did come nigh causin' tragedy
once. At least I'm told it's true,
though wouldn't bet on it.
Late one afternoon young woman.
married to a new congressman just six
weeks on her first visit to Washing
ton was shown through the crypt with
some friends. Somehow the bride got
separated from her companions and
couldn't find her way out The con-
gresham looked for her everywhere.
and everybody looked. No trace Of
her could they find, SO they went
home, thinlkin' she might have got out
ahead Of them. But she wasn't there,
either. Next morning another search
was made. At last they found her, way
down in one of the darkest passages OF
the crypt where she had been all night
with the rats and bugs. They picked
her up, but when she got home she was
q raving maniac. The terrors of the
night had been too much for her.
think did hear she recovered, but I'm
not sure. In fact, don't believe the
story, though it's mighty interestin'
one for a lively newspaper.
amt much on mythology, con-
tinued the old guide. but here is q
yarn I sometimes tell to a parcel of
schoolma'ams when guide 'em
through the capitol. 1t don't take
with the average run of brides and
bridegrooms, which is our support dur
ing the season. Thay amt interested
in ancient history; they're smash up to
date, right up to the hour. I've got on
good authority that the old hall of
congress. what's now statuary hall.
was copied from the sanctuary Of ono
of the Greek oracles-probably the ono
at Delphi. This here oracle used to
give out some very reliable informa-
tion, which was just as good as gospel
writ with the Greeks. A few of tho
old guides up here know a neat little
trick about acoustics They put man
on q certain stone certain number OF
feet from the statue of Ethan Allen.
Then they place another man in a GER
tain position behind pillar where tho
first man can't even get q glimpse OF
him. When the man that's standing
behind the pillar begins to talk in q
low voice the man on the stone will
swear that it is the statue talkin'. 1t
is simply freak of the acoustics, but
reckon that's the way the orac1-a
were worked. Post.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
What IL Being Worn by the Women who

What IL Being Worn by the Women who
Ersss.
The newest coats are loose in front
and many Of them fastened with fly.
The redingote will be a feature of the
fall styles, and for calling costumes
will be made of velvet, trimmed with
jeweled passementerie. Severely plain
cloth redingotes will be also much
worn. They are made in the empire
fashion and have broad revers and big
pockets.
Rough materials are everywhere.
The cheviots, whose popularity is
perennial. are seen in loose weaves
and somewhat coarse effects Brown
and sage green and brown and black
are favorite com binations of color.
The checked cheviots make durable
gowns and are much the vogue. They
are made up severely plain and
trimmed with large buttons.
Velvet capes trimmed with fur and
lace will be sold to match hats, and
cloth capes with strapped seams are
bravely holding their own. To be
strictly up to date they must be made
with full jabot of plaid silk down
the front Many Of the new hats will
be worn we'll over the forehead, and
in coloring and design they are quite
inconspicuouS The turban is high in
favor and should be made of braided
felt in shaded effects.
The edict comes from abroad that
sleeves have diminished more than
half in size. Close-ftting sleeves, with
out the suggestion of 4 puff or stiff
fened lining, are to be the vogue.
Crinoline is already a thing Of the
past Skirts require the same quantity
of material, but their folds show a ten
dency to droop demurely. The fact is
that the up to date woman dressed &C.
cc.ding to the coming winters fash
ions will occupy no more space when
she walks abroad than the average
man. To say the least, this is disap.
pointing. Louis XVI. styles are in high
favor and the coat of this period will
be seen with all sorts Of gowns Much
lace and many imitation jewels will
also be the vogue. Though it is ru.
mored that the small sleeve will be the
only correct one to wear this fall, yet
there is . goodly company OF women
who will refuse to submit to the sud.
den change. They will still cling to
the puff, but it will be dropping at
fair, made entirely without stiffening.
All the fashionable sleeves droop we'll
off the shoulder, and many of them fit
the arm closely for Q few inches below
the shoulder, and then suddenly ex-
pand into = puff. This is the latest
sleeve for evening gowns Fashionable
tailor.made frocks will be made with
. semi-close-fitting coat sleeve.-N. Y.

A RIVERS BURDEN.

Immense Areas OF Land Transported fr> =
Place to Place by tho Mississippi.
The Mississippi has in the course OF
ages transported from the mountains
and dry land within its drainage area
sufficient material to make four hum
dred thousand square miles of new
land by filling up an estuary which ex-
tended from its original outfall to the
Gulf of Mexico for a length of five
hundred miles. This river is still pour
ing solid matter into the gulf, where
it is spread out in fan-like shape over
q coast line Of one hundred and fifty
miles, and is filling up ut the rate OF
three hundred and sixty-two million
tons a year, or six times as much soil
as was removed in the construction OF
the Manchester ship canal, and sufa-
cient to make square mile OF new
land, allowing for it having to ill up
the gulf to depth of eighty yards.
Some idea of the vastness of thic op-
Grafton may be conceived when the
fact is considered that some of this
soil has to be- transported more than
three thousand miles, and that il the

would be no less sum than two hum

In nearly o. quite all cases the

But the plowing should always be
