In Memory of Mrs. Jos. Mason.

The family tie is broken. Mother,
he dearest and best, lies sleeping in
he graveyard, where we laid her
Town to rest. All that is mortal lies
here, her spirit has taken flight
rom this weary world of sorrow,
Out of darkness into light
Oh We shall sadly miss her
When together we meet,
For with voice and smile so pleasant
Did she US each one greet
The merry summer voices,
The thrilling notes OF birds
Can never be as dear to us
AS her remembered words
We loved her, dearly loved her,
But the angels loved her more.
And they have gently called her
To bright and happy shore.
The golden gates were opened.
A gentle voice said come"
And with farewells still unspOken,
She calmly entered home.
Sleep on. dear mother, no dream shall
come
OF death, and gloom and sorrow now,
The good is reached beyond the tomb.
Before Gods foot stool there you bow.
There pray for them who offers this
Slight tribute TO your memory dear,
That God may US. with mercy bless.
when all OF life is ended here

A Hint on the Use of Perfumes.

Harper's Round Table: Lille
NJ came to see me yesterday,
and aftershe had gone, Maria c.,
who was putting new braid on
my second best gown, said:
"That Miss Lille uses very nice
perfumery. It's so faint and fine,
not anything you can smell long
way off, but something which
makes you think of roses or violets
when she passes you on the street.
How does she manage it?"
Maria C. likes perfumes, but
does not know how to use them.
"Not by putting cologne on her
handkerchief" l answer, decidedly.
"NobOdy should carry about scents
poured on their garment" 1t is
right for you to have perfumes
about you if you love them.
Fresh rose leaves thrown into
your bureau drawers and scattered
in the boxes where you keep your
laces and hankerchiefs, and sprigs
of lavender or lemon verbena left
there TO dry will impart a pleasant
sweetness to whatever lies among
them. Orris root powder in little
sachet bags of China silk, or strewn
lightly between folds of tissue paper,
will give to your clothing in closet
or wardrobe delightful faint odor
of violet. If you use delicate soap
with a sweet, clean perfume, not of
musk or anything strong and pro-
nounced, and put a few drops of
alcohol or ammonia in the water
when you bathe, you need not be
afraid of any unfavorable comment
on your daintiness. Perfect cleanh-
ness is always dainty. Soil and
stain, dust and dirt, are never any
thing but repulsive.

not and make you trouble, and you'll

Suzanne found a place to work before
the week went by nursery maid for
two lovely children. One day some
months later the children ran scream
ing to their mother that "Susie was
dead. She felled off the garden seat,
and was all dead ON tho grass But
she had only tainted, and in her hand
she clutched the newspaper which con-
tanned report of the divorce of Philip
Hughes from his wife, Suzanne, on
statutory grounds. She was very ill aft
er that, and they were obliged to send
her to the hospital. In December she
died and was buried with her wee baby
girl clasped in her arms. Dick, coach
man, who was supposed to be her hus-
band, was the only mourner who fol-
lowed her to the grave.
But Philip is very happy with Mil
dred, SO the sacrifice was not in vain.

Useful Hints.

The white of an egg, with little
sugar and water, is good for a child
with an irritable stomach.
Clear, black coffee, diluted, with
water and containing a little
ammonia, will cleanse and restore
black clothes.
A large slice of raw potato in the
fat when frying dOughnuts will pre-
vent the black specks from appear
ing on their surface.
A hammock hung according to
rule should he six and quarter
feet from the ground at the head
and three and three-quarters above
the ground at the foot end. The
rope that secures the head should
be less than II inches and that at
the foot should measure four and a
half feet. Arranged in this way
the lower part will swing freely and
the head be kept comfortably by
being nearly stationary.
To make a sand bag to use in the
place of hot water bag: Make a
square bag of heavy linen or firm
cotton, and fill it with silver sand.
A bag of sand retains the heat much
longer than water or brick, and
is preferred by some persons. Like
hot water bag, sand bag may be
fitted into place, so that it is more
comfortable than a brick or soap
stone. 1t requires several hours to
heat bag of sand in an oven.

New Silver Argument.

A recent Washington dispatch
says: "Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
advances the proposition that the
demonetization of silver will not
only reduce the number of mar
riages in the future, but that it has
already done so to an alarming
extent. He produces statistics to
support this utterance.
"The reason" the Senator con-
tinued, sis obvious. From the
landing at jamestown until fifteen
years ago the only questions asked
of a young man proposing marriage
were: is he honest, industrious,
intelligent and of good character
If these were affirmatively rnswer-
ed, the consent of the parents was
ordinarily given. The question
now is: Has the young man an
income?' The possibility of his
making a living flor himself and
family by his industry is regarded
as too remote for consideration.
"Why is this? Are not young
men succeeding to-day in business
enterprises as well as in the past?n
"Not at all; there is not one sue
ceeding to-day where one hundred
succeeded half a century ago. You
ask the cause? 1t is due to falling
paices. If a man is in business, he
is unable to dispose of the fruits of
his labor to an advantage. On the
contrary, the more he struggles and
engages in business, the more con-
tinually do prices fall. The few
who deal in money are the only
ones who are now able to marry
and support wives"
"What becomes of those who
cannot afford to marry 2"
"They live" replied the Senator,
Con their parents or go into servi-
tude. Women are seeking employ
ment in stores as typewriters and
as upper servants. They must do
something; they cannot afford to
marry"
"What will be the effect upon
our population
"The effect will be to reduce
population. The census of 1890
showed falling off in the increase
of our population, and the census
of 1900 will accentuate this de-
crease. The number of marriages
have decreased from 25 to 40 per
cent during the last, five years.
These figures may not be exactly
correct, as l am speaking from
memory, but they are approx
mately So"

Reviving Business and Returning g
Prosperity.

Prosperity.
The goldite organs delight to ring
the changes on the reviving pros
perity which they tell a credulous
public they see on every hand. A
few large establishments have ad-
vanced the wages of their employees
10 per cent. and the organs of plu-
tocracy sound this symptom of re-
turning business throughout the
land. Last week another refrain was
heard from those same organs OF
Plutocracy, heralding the news of
the carpet weavers' strike of Phila-
delphia. Seven thousand men idle
and the carpet looms in nearly all
the mills standing still. "The
prospects are," says one of the Plu-
tocrat organs, "that thestruggle for
new scale of wages will be fought
stubbornly by both sides" The
weavers demand an advance in
wages to what they were in 1898
and the mill owners say the low
price of the goods will not afford an
advance.
Dunn & Co.'S weekly review says:
"The half yearly report of failures
include about $500, with liabilities
of about $SS, 100000" These are
signs of returning prosperity with
a vengence! Prices are lower than
year ago with no apparent pros
pect of any permant rise. Business
cannot entirely cease under any
condition, and the revival hailed
with so much triumphant shouting
is a necessary sequel to the break
down by low prices. When the
products on the market are be-
coming exhausted new orders will
be sent in to manufacturers and
dealers and a lower range of prices
all along the line must accompany
the decreasing and contracting cur
rency. This is what is taking place.
Business begins to move to supply
the products that have been con-
sumed but it must be on a lower
level of prices and a lower scale of
wages. The upward spirit at the
outset soon settles to point where
business can be maintained by the
limited volume of money in circula-
ton. Those who are in debt will
see no daylight in the present re-
ported revival, and Bradstreet's IS
and Dunn & Co., will continue to
report hundreds of business failures
every week. The aggregate amount
will naturally decrease till all who
have been overtaken by the con-
traction of the money of the country
that are in debt, have dropped out
of the "businessn class and a new
set have taken their places to be
plucked in turn by the manipula-
tors of money and drawers in OF
interest. Those who are tiattered
by the rose colored reports of re-
viving business must in the very
nature of things be doomed to dis
appointment.

points, one might easily imagine himself
in an European capital.
But here where I write. on the shore of
Lake Patzcuaro. it would be easy to for
get that progress has been made in Next
co or anywhere else. The scene and cir
cumstances are those Of primitive society.
AT different points on the opposite side OF
the lake, and on the steep slope of the
principal island, are Indian villages,
where the life that is lived to-day is es-
sentially the same as that of five hundred
years ago; and the features of the scene
at this moment are surely of the ancient
world. From all points OF the lake more
than q hundred canoes, or "dugouts,"
are moving in converging lines to point
on this shore. The modern art of making
boats has clearly not influenced the
builders of these primitivs vessels, which
are In the shape of a Cninaman's shoe,
except that the width is very much
less in proportion to the length. The
bottom is flat snd the widest part of the
craft the sides sloping inward towards
the top. They are propelled not by
oars, but by paddles, which consist

IN one of these canoes for the opposite
shores ten miles away, in the middle of a
thunderstorm of wind and rain that
seems to make the very foundations
of things rock. Three times week
they make this trip across the lake,
bringing their wares to a common
market-place, and return late in the after
noon with the produce of their ex-
changes. The wares which they offer
are such as their ancestors might
have brought to market centuries
before the conquest. In fact, this
part of Mexico remains yet to be con-
quered, if by that term is meant sub
jected to the forces and laws of progress
slve civilization. Yet in strange con-
trast with the products of this semi bar
barous society, the miserable little viii

What Keeps Women Young.

A woman is happy just in the proper
ton as she is content. The sun has a
way of changing the spots upon which it
shines. Especially is this true of our
land, where one is up to-day and down
tomorrow. and vice versa. The wisest
woman is she who trusts in Tomorrow.
but never looks tor it, To sit down and
wish that this might be, that that would
be different, does a woman no good. 1t
does her harm, in that it makes her dis
satisfied with herself, unpleasant to her
friends, and makes her old before her
time. Happiness is not always Increased
in proportion TO enlarged success. This
may sound like an old saw, and it is. |
think, but there is a world of wisdom in
many an old proyerb just the same. Con-
tentment is a wonderful thing to Guilt
vate. There would be fewer prematurely
old women in the world if it were given
more OF trial and it became a more uni
versal quality in womanhood. - Farm
