A TRIBUTE.

Roses red and white and gold,
Breathing balm from every fold,
Lily of the vale,
Jasmine fair and violet blue,
Cowslips with your regal hue,
Dropping faint and pale.
Moses green and ivy vine,
Dahlia blooms and eglantine,
Hearts ease signing low.
Royal tulips grand and gay,
Hyacinth's that spcrtive play
In the sunbeam's glow.
Daisy buds that nestled cool,
BY the forests drowsy pool,
When the May flowers came;
Sweet arbutus, pink and shy,
Pansies bIuer than the sky,
Crocus cups of flame.
Snowy lilies, calm and fair,
Bend above the golden hair,
Bright as sunlit skies,
Where the bending willows wave,
Ger that grass grown lowly grave,
There our loveliest lies
Harriet May Spalding.

MOTHERHOOD
The Demand Increases as the Supply
Diminishes.


Considering the vast values in
gem pearls obtained from the east
ern fisheries, it is surprising to find
that the plain, unromantic mother
of-pearl secured is of even greater
worth. Previous to the discovery OF
the extensive Australian fishing
grounds, in 1865, the supply OF
mother-of-pearl was diminishing,
while the demand was increasing.
The large shelled species already
mentioned are there found in fine
quality. The shells are the size Of
large soup plates, weigh a pound
each, and are worth about dollar a
pair. An expert diver, in diving
dress, will collect 300 or 400 pairs a
day. About 100 gem pearls are
found in every ton of these shells.
Beautiful art work in carved and
inlaid mother-of-pearl has long been
produced in China and Japan. Some
idea of the extent of it's European
use in the arts and manufactures
may be had from the fact that 5000
people are engaged in working
mother-of-pearl in Austria, and half
that number in France, while the
value of the annual import into Eng
land is nearly 100000. In the
the Philippine islands windows are
made Of mother-of-pearl; and James
Anthony Froude, in his volume OF
voyaging in Oceana, describes
frightful Maori idols with slips OF
mother-of-pearl glittering in their
eye-sockets; while in Cashmere it is
the custom to inlay the Inscriptions
in tombstones with the same ex-
quisite substance. To cap the climax
of curious uses OF the lUstrous nacre,
it is said that large quantities OF
seed pearls are imported into China
to be calcined into medicines for the
celestials. Charles S. Pratt in Ap-
pletons' Popular Science Monthly.

Now days when women are trying
to do anything it is not strange that
many things are over-done. 1t is not
strange that there are all kinds of
physical and mental disturbances.
If the woman who is a journalist, OF
a lawyer, or a doctor, or in business
would try to be society woman too
it might be different; but the woman
who knows when she has done a days
work has yet to be born. Usually a
woman's way is to keep doing until
she drops, Working in this way has
manifold evils. The most common
trouble resulting from over exertion
either mentally or physically, is con.
stipation of the bowels, with all is
attendant horrors.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant pellets are the
most effectual remedy in the market
They work upon the system easily,
naturally. There is no unpleasant
nausea after taking them. No grip
ing-no pain-no discomfort. They
are composed of materials that go

lecting all impurities and, like the
good little servants that they are, dis
posing of them effectually.
