Cultivate Cheer.

1t was a favOrite saying of Ban
croft, the historian, who was a Wig
orous old man at ninety, that the
secret of a long life Is in never losing
ones temper. The remark was simp-
ly a concrete way Of expressing the
hygienic value of amiability-a
principle which, until lately, has
scarcely been considered in the
training of children. Hitherto we
have regarded fretfulness, melan-
eholy, and bad temper as the natur-
al concomitants of Illness. But mod
ern science shows that these mental
moods have actual power to produce
disease. No doubt in most cases
imperfect bodily conditions are the
cause of irritable and depressed feel
ings, yet sometimes the reverse is
true, and a better knowledge of phys
iological laws would show them to
be effect rather than cause. The
fact that disconnected and gloomy
people are never in good health is an
argument in favor of the theory that
continual indulgence in unhappy
thoughts acts as poison and creates
some form of disease. Moreover, such
people radiate an unwholesome in
fluence. which, like the atmosphere
of malarial region, one cannot help
inhaling. They also lack hope and
energy and are far more likely TO
succumb to prevailing epidemics
than those of cheerful tempera-
ment. A variety of motives, there
fore-our personal well-being, re-
gard for the dear ones of our house,
holds and loyalty to the Divine Mas
ter, who forbids our taking anxious
thought-should inspire Us to Guilt
vate sunny disposition.-COngreg

sweet, deep security felt when of
an evening, nesting in her bosom,
listened to some quite tale, suitable
to my age,read in her untiring voice.
Never can l forget her kind chances
cast upon me when l appeared

TO A SWEET PEA.

(Which, climbing in rosebush,
had escaped the first frost,)
Come, little fairy, with your outstretch-
Tiptoeing, With your cloudless eyes
a-dream,
Why art though here where late the
blue-bi sings,
And all thy sisters drunk of Lethe's
stream?
Dost fear to die? IT'S but a mental
pain
And each must sleep if each would
wake again.
All, child of rainbow and the setting
sun,
Flirting all summer where the poppies
grow,
Death came before your little task was
(He has that way as we poor mortals
knowD
Then why seek shelter meath the roses
breast?
For each must sleep if each have per
feet rest.
Afraid to go clad in that gaudy gown?
Poor little dancing spirit of Wild joy!
God made thee such; nor will He ever
frOwn
ON any work of His, tho sad tn alloy.
60 as thou art, if honest be thy aim
For God made honor everywhere the
same.
Nor fear to gol On some far twinkling
star
There is home foi butterflies like
thee
AS sterner worlds for sterner spirits are,
30 fairer worlds for sweeter beings be
Goodbye! Some day I'll catch thy faint
perfume,
And know it bloweth from immortal
bloom.

IT'S he coward who quits to misfortune,
IT'S the knave who changes each day,
IT'S the fool who wins half the battle,
Then throws all his chances away.
There is little i'm life but labor,
And tomorrow may find that dream 4;
Success is the bride Of Endeavor,
And luck but a meteor's CLEAN.
The time to succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire.

And won-'twixt the fay and the wire.

With many of the handsome cos
tunes this season, and with almost
all of the fashionable coats, there
are collars 50 high at the back that
they are startllngly conspicuous.
There are velvet collars in an eXag-
gerated Medici shape, which are
covered with jewels and lace and
edged with fur, and then there are
other collars reaching half way up
the head at the back and made en-
tirely of feathers.
Many of these collars hide the
ears from view, but they are all con-
sidered extremely fashionable.
All gowns are much trimmed
about the neck. The same frill at
the back Is used, the same ribbons
about the neck, while the neckties
of net and lace are more popular
than ever. In Paris women have
been wearing for some time very
large neckties, tied in bowknot uu-
der the chin, and the same fashion
is now gaining ground here. All
jabots and ruffles at the throat are
greatly in favor, and the more lace
that can be brought nearer the face
the better.
Sometimes black and white lace
are put together and with very good
results, while as for the linen col
lar, it seems to hold its own year af-
ter year, although on many of the
new silk blouses there is fascina-
ting little stock collar of white In
dia silk, with rundown points, and
this looks extremely attractive, par
ticularly with the net and lace neck
tie.

Headache.

The ordinary nervous headaches
from which women suffer so much,
an authority says can be cured by
following these directions: RE
move the dress waist, knot the hair
high up on the head, out of the way,
and, leaning over the basin, place a
sponge soaked in hot water, as hot
as can be borne, on the back of the
neck. Repeat this many times, also
applying the sponge behind the
ears, and, if the assertion of the
writer is not a mistaken one, in
many cases the strained muscles
and nerves that have caused so
much misery will be felt to relax
and smooth themselves out delicious
ly, and very frequently the pain
promptly vanishes in consequence. "

Sleep Natures Medicine.

Menander said, that all diseases
were durable by sleep-a broad
statement which, nevertheless,
there may be something that is true,
for good sleepers are ever, as
think, the most durable patients;

sick person had slept, than had
taken regularly the prescribed

sashes.

Sashes are again in favor. Some
of the most fetching come in Roman
stripes, with fringed ends. Frlnged
sashes are worn with dark dresses of
heavy cloth to tighten the effect. A
light gray cashmere for indoor wear
looked very dainty with its pink
tucked yoke. The chemisette show
ed also just in front of the sleeves,
giving the gray bodice an effect of
suspenders over the shoulders. The
sleeves were laid in fine tucks all the
way up, and at the shoulder there
were five shirred tucks. each about
an inch wide. A broad pink sash,
knotted at one side of the front, had
fringed ends that hung about to the
bottom of the skirt.
One can make decorative girdle
by using plaid or Roman striped rib
bon. The girdle has the appearance
of being first tied around the waist
like a sash, with loops and ends. In
front, on each side, are two points
made by sewing two diagonally cut
edges of the ribbon together and
wiring the seam. These points stand
up above the belt against the bodice,
and over one is set bow. The
beauty of this girdle however, is the
black chiffon ruffle which is sewed
all around the edges of both the
loops and the sash part at the back,
and the girl who wants to take the
trouble to freshen up her old sashes
by sewing on new chiffon will find
herself fully repaid.-Exchange.

III there is a person to be found who has
used them without benefit we want to know
who he Is and where to find him. They
never fail To cure kidney and bladder trou-
bles and affections of the genital organs
and overcome all debility and weakness in

and overcome constipation. They have vital
effect on all of the secretOTy organs and es-
tablish healthy condition of the mucous
and gland secretions in every part of the
body; overcome all torpid conditions of the
capillaries and secure perfect circulation
OF the blood, so that every organ is supplied
and every function is normal and healthy.
Being the only remedy ever compounded
that fully meets the logical physiological
conditions of the human system, IL is no
wonder that they give results unknown to
medical science. No matter III the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are SUI
perior to al known remedies. Their effect
on the nerve centers is a complete surprise
TO physicians who have used them. Cases
that have batfied the skill of best physi-

have been promptly controlled and perma-

viii te, but all have a tiny velvet
ribbon border around the edge and
velvet bordered ruffle at each end.
With the big picture hats short
and narrow wells are simply impOs-
sibilities, and, besides, the veil that
ties under the chin is a lot more be-
coming than the veil that is drawn
back and caught tightly at the back.
The pretty fluffy bow under the chin
is very bewitching.
The most fashionable wells are of
very fine Brussels net. Fancy figur-
ed nets are somewhat in vogue, but
the plain ones are the ones favored
by smart women.
One sees very few of the ieweled
wells that were introduced some lit
tie time ago. These were favorites
only with the faddists, and not good
for the eyesight.
The tying of the veil under the
chin saves the wearing of a scarf
about the neck, which is Just now
the finishing touch of every street
costume.
Llce wells, very exquisite and also
very costly, are in fashion, but no
cheap lace ones-fortunately-are
shown as yet. Women of good
taste prefer plain net to a cheap va
riety lace.
The white net wells are best for
everybody as they launder nicely,
and the black net ones may be made
as fresh and good as new If put oc-
casionally into the hands of the
cleaner. Therefore, though the cost
of the long veil is considerable in
the first place, it is after all an econ
omy in the end.

told Mozart that he came from
person who did not wish his name
to be known, to ask if he would COM
pose a solemn mass as n requiem for
the soul of dear friend who had re-
Gently died, and whose memory he
wished to commemorate. Mozart
undertook the work, and promised
to have it finished within a month.
The stranger inquired the price of
the work, aud, after paying him one
hundred ducats, took his leave. The
strangeness of the visit seemed to
have a powerful effect upon the
mind of the master. He broOded
over it for several days, and then,
suddenly calling for writing mate
rails, began to compose with extra
ordinary fervOr. The incessant APP
plicatiOn was too much for his
strength; it brought on fainting fits,
and increasing illness forced him to
stOp work.
II am writing this requiem for
myself" he said one day to his wife;
lit will serve for my own funeral
service" And he was never after
ward free from that impression.
At the end of the month the
mysterious stranger called and
asked for the requiem. II have
found it impossible" said Mozart,
ito keep my word. The work has
interested me more than l expected,
and 1 have extended it beyond my
first design. l shall require another
month to finish it," The stranger
made no objection, but stating that
it was only just to increase the
premium for the additional labor,
he laid down fifty ducate more, and
after promising to return at the APP
pointed time departed. Mozart,
much astonished at the whole pro-
ceeding, ordered servant to follow
him, but the man lost sight of him
in the street, and was Obliged to re-
turn without having learned any
thing about him. Mozart was now
firmly persuaded that he was a mes
senger from the other world sent
to warn him of his approaching end,
and he applied himself with fresh
enthusiasm to the requiem. In
spite of the exhausted condition of
his body and mind the work was
finished within the month. At the
appointed time the stranger re-
turned the requiem was ready; but
Mozart was no mOre.-Harper'
