When We Are Parted
When we are parted let me lie
In some far corner of thy heart
Silent, and from the world apart.
Like a forgotten melody;
Forgotten Of the world beside,
Cherished by one and one alone,
For some loved memory of its own:
SO let me In thy heart abide
When we are parted.
When we are parted, keep for me
The sacred stiffness of the night:
That hour, sweet love, is mine by right:
Let others claim the day of theei
The cold world sleeping at our feet,
MY spirit shall discourse with thine
When stars upon thy pillow shine
At thy hearts door l stand and beat
Though we are parted.

comes to us perfect from the hand of ma
ture, and to this its great antiquity as a
gem is largely due. Precious stones
whose beauty and ordnance depend on
polishing and cutting would naturally be
| discovered and utilized later. The discov~
cry Of the diamond, for instance, prob
ably dates within historic times Though
known earlier, IL was not generally in,
cluded among the gem treasures of roy
atty even as late as the seventh century.
The modern cutting of diamonds in reg.
ular facets was invented as recently as
1856. Indeed 1t is quite probable that the
pearl was the first gem known and treas
ured by prehistoric man since the search
for food must have been the first occupa-
tton of the earliest of the race and the
shining pearl would thus have been dis
covered in river mussels If not in
marine oysters. Certain II is that the
Old Testament and the ancient written
histories 'allude to pearls, and that re-
moter evidence is found in the tombs
and excayated cities of still earlier eras
The Egyptians, Babylonians, and Assyrl-
ans held the pearl in an esteem verging
on reverence.
Glover blossom tea is said to be an ex-
eellent thing to purify the blood and i'm
prove the complexion. Glover is now in
full bloom, and if the blossoms are not
wanted for use now, gather them and
place them in paper bags, tie the bag TO
keep out the dust, and hang in dry
place.
In this day of analysis some one has
undertaken to discuss the female walk. 1t
is said that the Englishwoman travels;
that her limbs appear to be moved by the
engine of a steamer; that the Spanish
woman Frances; the American woman re-
calls the pendulum of a clock; the Italian
skips; the Dutchwoman rolls the Russian
skates, and the German is heavy. The
Corsican woman, who retains the custom
of carrying her burdens on her head while
her baby lies in her arms, only is called
model of queenly grace.
The assistant encouragement of Mon
tana, is a woman, and her name is Ella
Knowles Haskell. She is an exception
ally successful lawyer, renowned for haV-
ing obtained the largest fee ever given
to woman, and an enthusiastic popu-
list. She has already made sixty speecu-
es on silver and intends 20 make many
more. If you should chance to meet her
in the street meanwhile, you would be
likely to mistake her for a happy little
housewife, so essentially feminine is she
in dress and manner.
The announced revival of earrings, says
the New York Times, is not pleasant
news. Piercing the ears is a relic of bar
bariSm that should never have been in
dorsed in a sensible age. They are rare
ly becoming, and though the long pend
ants worn thirty years ago, and which
might have been taken right out of an
African Woman'S ears, were not tolerated
in the late days of the fashion, and prob
ably never will be again. even the tiniest
of earrings are unattractiVe. Jewels Slip
ped on the fingers, clasped around the
wrists or throat, or thrust in the hair are
more or less acceptable; when, however,
it becomes necessary to tear and perforate
the flesh to find place for another gem,
the taste for ornament has reached the
savage stage.
Physicians point out too, that blood poi
soning may easily result from the ear
piercing operation, -And is more likely to
ensue now than formerly it being a we'll
known fact that the tendency to such
condition is stronger now than was the
case thirty and fifty years ago.
one of the. prettiest girls in town, says
the Washington Post, Is temporarily in
retirement owing to a misguided attempt
to improve natures handiwork. She has
beautiful hair, but in color it is rather
a dull brown and lacks utterly the bur
nished mahogany tint every really correct
woman wears. She didn't want to bleach
the hair. Peroxide is vulgar. She didn't
want to touch il up with salts of tar
tar, for that ruins it. Somebody sug-
gested dyeing 1t with henna. She tried
it. At present she has the most beauti-
full hair imaginable dull dark red, but
unfortunately, her scalp is as red as her
hair. and as the color has so far defed
all efforts to remove it she is not showing
herself these days. She hopes the red
will wear off in time, and hope is cheap
There is really no limit to the things a
woman will do when she sets out to beau
tify herself, and there never will be a
limit till the most artistically beautiful
woman ceases to be the most admired.
Just now Washington women are fol-
lowing a fad which is not only foolish,
but dangerous as well. They are dyeing
their eyelashes. No matter what the col

it is the fad of the moment to shade your
