FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
al WISH" AND 81 WILL"

81 Wish" and 81 Win," so my grand
mother says,
Were two little boys in the long ago,
And Il Wish" used to sigh while Il WHIP
used to try
For the things he desired, at least that's
what my
Grandma tells me. and she ought to
know.
81 Wish" was so weak, so my grandmother
says,
That he longed to have some one to help
him about,
And while he'd stand still and look up at
the hill
And sigh to be there to go coasting, II
Will"
Would glide past him with many shout.
They grew to be men, so my grandmother
And all that q Wish" ever did was to
dream,
To dream and to sigh that LIES hill was so
high,
While Il WIFI went to work and soon
learned, if we try,
Hills are never so steep as they seem.
81 Wish" lived in want, so my grandmother
says,
But Il WIZ had enough and portion
to spare;
Whatever he thought was worth winning
he sought
With an earnest and patient endeavor that
brought
OF blessings a bountiful share.
And whenever my grandma hears anyone
wish"
A method she seeks in his mind to instill
For increasing his joys, and she straight
way employs
The lesson she learned from the two little
boys
Whose names were IT Wish" and u
Will"

The Eggs of the Mosouito.

The eggs of the mosquito are fas-
tened together by viscid secretion
from the insects body. From 250 to
200 eggs are laid at a time, and the
little boat-shaped mass is so construct
ed that it will not overset. 1t cannot
be sunk nor in any way injured by
wind, rain or water. 1t is abandoned by
the insect, and the eggs are Matched
by the heat of the sun or atmosphere.
A temperature below freezing is said
not to destroy the vitality of the
mosquitoes eggs.

be young because her heart is young and
there is rich, young blood circulating in her
veins. She doesn't need cosmetics and face
powders and skin-preservers. Pure blood
is the only true skin preserver.
But when woman's blood is full of bill

nor feel young. Her whole constitution is
poisoned with bad blood. 1t permeates ev-

1t reduces woman to state of weakness,
nervousness, irritability detection and mel

youthful, no matter what her age may be.
She needs the youthfulness of highly vital
Discovery will give it to her. 1t will help
any woman to get back her youth and
freshness again.
1t gives the digestive and blood making
organs and the liver power to produce good,
