A Winter Nights Dream.

"A winter Nights Ofeums
Dreary seems the task assigned me-
Dull the play;
I would fain leave both behind me.
Steal away,
Where no hopes nor cares could find mo
Night or day.
Where the pirates teak prov grapples
With pure sand,
Where Hesperidean apples
Hem the strand,
Where the silver sunlight dapples j.
Lake and land.
In some charmed Saturnian island
l would be;
Watch, from glens of billowy highland.
Creeks of sea:
Crush the perfume there awhile, and
Shake the tree.
Round the brows of naked summer.
Noon and night,
See oft rest, the rarest conner,
Winding bright;
Garlands that would well become her
Blthe delight
See dusk eyes and warm brown faces
And sleek limbs
Peer from shadowy leafy spaces,
Whence there swims
Praise to God of unknown graces
In strange hymns.
Eat cool fruits of foreign flavor,
Drink from shells
Wine of mild, unharmful SAVIOR,
Wine that smells
Like a ccpse when June winds waver
All its bells.
Live live full-feeding cattle;
Purge mine ears
From the echoing roar and rattle
OF the years;
Then return to wholesome battle
With my peers.

AMERICAN RESTAURANT
A Blast from an Englishman in
had HumOr.

had HumOr.
The student of psychology will notice
that the American waiter has an unhappy
knack of interrupting you when your mouth
is full to ask you some idiotic question
whether you want more of the Internal ice
water, ETC., says the Manchester Courier.
Grilled tomatoes are unknown They don't
even understand what "griled tomatoes
mean and you can only have them fried
by paying an extortionate additional
charge.
The waiter has the insolence sometimes
to correct you if you order tomatoes,
asking you if you mean "tomeytoes" as
the word is pronounced in the ugly, drawl-
ing Yankee vernacular. If you order a
steak underdone, i. e., what they call
rear" in their bastard lingo of pigeon
English, woe betide. 1t will be served up
quite raw"
Although no mustard is placed the
table for beef, pork ham or bacon, it is
fussily proffered for lamb But, alas! pork
and lamb even worse than the beef.
Mustard in enormous quantities, however,
is mixed with lamb stew, and, what is
far worse, one must eat it nolens volens or
starve
Another unspeakable horror of American
cookery is fried chicken. Instead of
good English roast or boiled fowl, or a
French poulet roti, with it's appetizing and
deliciols gravy, this execrable abomination
is coolly placed before. The skinny, leath-
to shreds-sometimes almost to a cinder,
a blackened undistinguishable mascot
course with out a drop of gravy. If we
were not told, an epicure would be puzzled
to guess the nature of the vile dish, and, in
deed one can't tell the difference often
between American pork and veal.
Cheese can rarely, indeed, be obtained,
and it is always bad. But if meat and
poultry are served up tasteless, without
gravy or fat, en- revanche all vegetables,
without exception, are INDUCED with more
or less loathsome or repulsive souces peas
invariably swimming in bath of green
water, while beans and potatoes are cook
ed in a manner too horrible for description.
Maize, which is only given to pigs in Eng
land or France, is considered quite deli
cacy. But then, anything will do for Amer
leans.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inaamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
