THE GIRL WITH THE BLOOMERs.

Tho poets sing praises of maidens so gentle
And sigh for the days of the old-fashioned
girl
/ fling to the wings every thought sentimental
And welcome the damsel of hurry and whirl.
In tresses of gold there is something enticiDg,
And hearts are in danger when azure eyes
shine;
But to all thu world let those joys be sufficing.
And I'll take the girl with the boomers in
mine.
Away with the maid who is always adjoining
The parlor the lawn or the park and the
like;
All hail to the girl who is up in the morning
And over the highway is pushing her bike,
Let those who are living in days that have
vanished
Choose maidens who cling to the earth like
the vine,
But Off to nunnery I'd have them banished
And I'll take the girl with the boomers in
mine
tnvious critics may try to reta I'd her;
Never moment she lists to their call:
Little she cares how the world may regard
her
Sweetly the bloomer girl rides over all
dere is toast to her-long may she flourish
May we be blessed by this creature divine;
thoughts of the other girl always I'll flourish
But I'll take the girl with the bloomers in
mine.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
A Change In the Calendar That Is Worth
 Thinking About.

A Change In the Calendar That Is Worth
 Thinking About.
 It is suggested that on Jan. 1, 1900, & new division of the year into 13 months be instituted. If such division were made. the first 12 months would have 28 days or four weeks each, and the new month 29 days, to make S65, and 30 in leap year
 After few days there would be no need to refer to calendars, as the same day of the week would have the same date through the year. If Jan. 1 were, say, Monday. every Monday would be the 1st, Sth. 10th aud 22d; every Tues day the 2d, 9th, 18th and 23d, and so on through the year.
 The changes of the moon would be on about the same dates through the year, and many calculations, like interest, dates of maturing notes. Easter and many other important dates would be simpiified Although the present gener- ation would have to figure new dates for birthdays. and all legal holidays except New Year's would be on different dates, yet the gain would be more than the loss, as that would be permanent and the objections triiing --Scientifio Amer ican.

Got Around Grannie.

The little daughters of member of the Duke of Connaught's staff were recently invited to lunch with the daughters of the latter at Government House, Aldershot. After the meal the children adjourned to the grounds.
 Do you know my grandmother" asked Princess Margaret of one of her guests.
 "No," was the reply.
 "I am going to stay with her at Windsor tomorrow, continued the princess, land she is going to have a company from London and some theat- rioals. l mean to get round grannie to let me sit up and see them. I always have to go to bed. "
 Evidently Princess Margaret did "get round grannie, for the day after the theatrical performance which she was so anxious to witness her name was among those of the spectators. During the absence of their parents in India she and her sister were so much with the queen that they probably know as well as any of the royal grandchildren how to coax their august grandmother into giving them a wished for treat Pear sons Weekly.

 In such case an old woodsman or hunter will thrust one finger into his mouth, wetting it we'll, and then hold it up in the air. The side which feels coidest shows which direction the wind comes from. The reason of this is plain. The more rapid movement of the air from one direction causes the moisture on that side of the finger to evaporate with greater rapidity. thus giving the sensation of coolness. Try it and see.

Buy Fruit Instead of Candy.

1T wish, :" said doctor the other day as he watched group of school children troop out of candy store, where they had been spending their pennies. "that Icould form society among little folks ill which each member would take & pledge to spend all his pocket money for fruit instead of candy" It seemed a funny way of putting it, didn't it? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at the moment it probably occurred to him that, as children like clubs, an anticandy club would be very good one for them. He wanted to do two things-to stop their eating the un- healthful sweet and to coax them to eat more fruit. An apple or banana or an orange can usually, one or the other of them, be bought for the price of little candy, and the fruit is much better in every way than the sweet. New York Times

SUN DAY CRIMES.

Sunday in this city is never quite the day of peace and rest which it should beSbut last Sundays record of violence was unusually long and discouraging. Murder and robbery were the conspicuous features of the days sA stranger reading through the list would come to the conclusion that Chicago is yet in the days of border ruffianism.
 Nothing could be more significant than the fact that many of these cases occur either in saloons or while the offenders were heated with the fumes of liquor. Sunday gives its leisure to peaceful people, but it is regarded as Q day for reck- less lawfessness by the criminal ele- ment and By certain class of men, who, although not true criminals, find in thAsfrst day of the week an opportunity to indulge freely in pastimes forbidden on other days by their employment.
 For both these classes the Sun- day saloon is a sort of club, and it is there that brawls are generated, passions inflamed and robberies plan ned. There eanNBe no doubt in the minds of careful observers that 1t is this mischievous agency which is responsible for a large part of the list of crime which is presented to the publies Monday morning. The suppression Sof the Sunday saloon might not abolish Sunday crime; it would greatly lessen its prevalence. The question rests very largely, of course, in the hands of the city ad ministration. Chief Badenoch showed last election day that when once Q serious attempt to shut the saloons on given day is made the saloons canybe shut

 more or less of 1t gets into the blood. That's constipation. It is such wonder fully simple thing that people do not regard 1t seriously. They let it run on, let it grow worse, become chronic, and show itself all over the body in fifty ways before they con- sider it important. Constipation causes nine -tenths of all human ailments. Its first symptoms do not seem very serious, but even they are very disagreeable. A few of them are sour stomach, fatulence, heart burn, distress after eating foul breath, coated tongue, dizziness, palpitation of the heart, sick and bilious headaches, general iassitude and debility. When any of these symptoms show themselves, you should immediately take Dr. Picrce's Pleasant Pel- lets according to directions. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules, made on purpose to cure constipation. They do this perfectly and quickly. and they are the ouly prepara- ton in the world that will do it. There are plenty of medicines that will give relief as long as you keep on taking them, but you can't stop. They don't cure they give merely temporary relief.
