A certain well-known specialist on
throat affections wis on one occasion
called to treat a lady who manifested
SO much interest in his surgical in
struments that he took infinite trouble
to explain their uses to her. "This

with electric lights in such a manner
that the interior Of your throat will be
seen by me as clearly as the exterior.
You would be astonished to know how

The operation over, the lady appeared
much agitated, and her sister, who was

Theron brown.

Let hoary dvnasties forget
Their'natal story's fabling page:
Our country keeps her birthday yet,
And dares the world to doubt her age.
OF all the governments of men,
She wears her sunrise on her brow;
The rest began they know not when.
And climbed to power they know not how.
We love her best who most admire
The outset of her life of might
Portrayed in monoglyphs of fire
And writ in capitals of light.
And twice is poet skilled to sing
Who clearest chants his nations morn,
And every freeman twice king
For knowing when his realm was born.
Our Unions youth grew early wise
Who shout its date in schoolmate play,
And Independence learn to prize
With honprs to its advent day.
Land Of all lands the sole and first
From ancient gloom to save the hour
When, grown from Freedoms kernel, burst
Thy bud of empire into flower.
Thy birthday, and thy Washington's,
Are way-marks on the path of time;
Nor all the light of all thy suns
Can dim .he day.star of thy prime.

This life is like game Of cards. which NOR
tails have to learn.
Each shuilles, puts and deals the pack. and
each u trump doth turn.
Some bring high card to the top, and some
will bring low.
Some hold n hand quite full of trumps, ana
some but few Gun show.
In playing some throw out their trumps
their winning card to save.
Some play the king, some play tho deuce,
but many play the knave,
Some pluy for money, some f3r love, and
some for worldly fame,
But not until the hands played out can they
count up their game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
and pleasure rules the hour;
No Thought of sorrow checks our joy in
beauty's rosy bower.
We laugh, We dance, sweet verses write, our
cards at random play,
And. while the heart remains on top, our
life's a holiday.
When diamonds chance torule the pack the
players stake their gold.
And heavy sums are lost and won by players
young and old;
Each one, intent upon the game, doth watch
with eager eye,
That he may see his neighbor's cards and
cheat him oil the sly.
When clubs are trumps look out for war on
ocean or On land,
For awful deeds of blood are done when
clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead Of gold, and
dogs of war are freed,
And sad 1t is for and land when clubs one
hold the lead.
Last game of all is when the spade is turned
by the hand Of time:
He waits for the end of the players game
in every age and cline, s.
No matter how much each one wins or how
much each may save,
The spade will finish up the game and dig
the players grave.

The muzzing orders now in force,
For dogs have got the rabies;
The people all ure scared, OF course,
And net like little babies.
But dogs are not the only things
The law should be severe on.
I'd muzzle that Tom cat who sings
song that's such queer one.
Aud then, again, I'd muzzles find
For those so fontl of chatter,
Who whispers scandal so unkind,
And tnen ask, whats the matter 2''
And why the law don't take in hand
The swearer In a puzzle;
While oaths assail throughout the land
I'd make him wear a mllzzle.
The magistrate so fond of gus,
Who thinks himself so witty;
At prisoners aims his jokes. alas,
Annoys them with his ditty.
I'd stop him, though he Is n mob,
Wheneer he tried to fuzzle;
I'd fine him five-and twenty-bob
And make him wear muzzle
You've seen man 20 reeling down
The streets, just half-seas over,
A sad disgrace to any town,
He says he's been in clover.
His wife and BARNS may starve at home
He'll sit and soak and guz2le;
I'd make him, when he wished to roam,
Put on and wear a muzzle.
And those who threatening language use
The liar, scamp. so artful,
And those who neighburs false accuse,
I'd muzzle by the cartful.
And then those German bands who play
To me it is II puzzle
Why we should let them day by day
Go out without muzzle.

Costumes for Garden Parties.

OF all the pretty gowns which are
included in the summer wardrobe, the
prettiest and daintiest arc those de- ]
signed to wear at garden parties
and summer outdoor entertainments.
There are SO many different designs
possible in these costumes, and no
much opportunity for effective trim
ming, as well as tho use of most fasci-
mating fabrics, that it is scarcely to be-
wondered at that these gowns play SO
important q part in buying summer
clothes. Heavy materials and dark
colorings are the exception to the rule.
and while not absolutely tabooed, are
not considered smart oven for elderly
ladies to wear. And, by tho way,
garden party is one of the few enter
tainments to which young and old
are alike invited, and it devolyes upon
tho middle aged women to pay strict
attention to what they wear, for their
gowns will be quite as much on evil
dence as the more brightly colored
ones worn by the younger people,
While tho right colors, SO fashionable
at present, are not often becoming to
gray hair, it is mistake for women
whose hair has turned gray to feel it
incumbent unon themselves always to
wear black. Soft grays, lavenders, and
purplas, and even white, are as per-
missihle for the matrons as for the
maid. Southern women, as repre-
sented by favorite beroines in fiction,
and in their beautiful every day life as
well, have always had fancy for
white, and the finest of lawns and,
organdies and the richest of laces were
used by them for their summer gowns.
