TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

A farmer dropped two grains Of corn
In the cold, dark earth one April morn.
Together they sank In their cherries bed.
And the earth fell lightly overhead.
"Oh, cruel fatei" cried one in fear.
"What evil chance has brought me hereI
It Is not meet that such as l
Lie in the earth to taste and die.
Within this stone nice dry shelf
Invites me to take care Of myself"
The warm sun shone, and the soft ratn foil,
The grain in the earth began to swell
The wise one cried from its snug retreat:
elbow prudent am /! No rain nor heat
Can reach me here. I'm fair as at first,
While you, poor thingl look ready to burst.
You owe duty to yourself
There's room for two on this dry shelf.
Come out of the earth close and wot,
Perhaps you may save yourself even yet.
"Eay." answered the other ono from tn,
earth,
"Only from pain and death comes birth.
OF such as We spake tho Holy One,
Except it die it abideth alone,
But If seed of common grain
Die in the earth, its death is gain.
So let me yield in patient trust
To the hand that laid me In the dust.
6eptember's fields stand brown and sere
Now comes the ''full corn in the ear
The grain that died in the darksome mold
Has yielded more than hundrsdfold.
While that which cared for itself SO well
Lies clone in the earth, an empty shell

Color and Emotion.

It was not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by US also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and neurasthenia will be in
clined to cover their pictures uniforml,
with the color most in accordance with
their condition of lassitude and exhaus-
ton. Thus originate the violet pictures
of Manet and his school, which spring
from no actually observable aspect of
nature, but from subjective view due
to conditions of the nerves. When the
entire surface of walls in salons and art
exhibitions of the day appears yelled in
uniform half mourning, this prediction
for violet is simply an expression of t."
nervous debility of the painter. Con

Tho Properties of Cocaine.

Travellers in Peru and countries where
oocoa grows chew the leaves of this
plant for the purpose Of allaying the
sense of hunger and the feeling of e1-
haustion that accompanies it. At first
the leaves were thought to possess food
elements, but now it is known that the
cocaine they contain merely allays the
irritability Of the nerves that produce
the sense Of hunger.
Cocaine is an alkaloid made from
the cocoa leaf, which has the effect Of
completely destroying the sensibility of
nerves. The discovery OF this active
principle Of the cocoa leaf explained
fully and satisfactorily the effect pro-
duced by chewing the leaves An infu-
sion Of the leaf might DO used with
good results in allaying the gnawing
appetite that follows some forms of fe-
yer, or in cases where the sense of hunger
is due to a diseased condition of the
stomach.
Cocaine should never be used except
on the prescription of trustworthy
physician, because it Is dangerous. The
cocaine habit is more readily formed
than either the morphine or the liquor
habit and is far more rapid in its work
of destruction. -Pittsburg Commercial
