If WE KNEW.

II we knew the woe and heartache q
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the NORWOOD, Il
II onr backs could feel the lond: IL
Would we waste to-day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be-
Would we wait in such Impotence
For our ships to come from seay
II we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be stiff and cold tomorrow
Never trouble us again;
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brown -
Would the print Of rosy fingers
Vex US then as they do now7
Ali those little ice-cold fingers.
How they point our memories back
To the basty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track.
How those little hands remind us,
As In snowy grace they lie.
Not 10 scatter thorns, but roses,
For our renplng by-and-by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-yoiced bird has flown;
Strlrnge that we should slight the yiolets
Till the lovely flowers are gonel
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Sha'ie their white down In the air!
Lips from which the seal OF silence
None but God can roll away
Mover blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-day
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume
Come to w In sweeter accents
Through the portals OF the tomb.
Let MS gather up the sunbeams
Lying all along cur path;
Let ms keep the wheat and roses.
Casting out the thorns and chat;
Let US lind our sweetest comfort
In the blossoms Of to-day.
With patient hand removing
All the briers from the way.

Where Women Toll Like Men.

While American women have their
own grievances the sex enjoys free
dom of action and an opportunity for
getting ahead greater than are found
elsewhere. The men of European coun-
tries, as rule, are far less considerate
of women than are Americans. In Bel.

does the coarsest of work. In Germany
she tolls In the fields Even in France.
the country of politeness, she tolls la
boriously and often with little consider
alton on the part of the male portion of
the community. The towns where art
and culture most abound often present
striking counter pictures. Budapest
is beautiful city, yet in this apparent
ly civilized community the tourist sees
young girls and women of all ages car
rying bricks and mortar. and mixing
the latter, wherever building is GO

Title of Admiral.

1t should here be explained that the
title OF admiral" was not used in
England In the earlier days, says the
London Nautical Magazine. In fact,
the better opinion, Is that II was not so
used before the beginning of the four
teenth century. He was called Capt.
taneus Marls Captain OF the Seal.
Keeper OF the seacoasts." captain OF
the Kings mariners" The title "Ad-
mlral" or "Amlral." probably derived
from the Arabic amir or emir (pre-
fect, was used In foreign countries
much earlier than In England, and
came to US from France. Prynne
t"Animadversions," page 1867. states
that there were admirals and an ad-
mlralty court In England as early as
the time of Henry l., derived from our
ancient Saxon kings-Alfred. Edgar,
Ethelred and others who had the do
minion Of the British ocean None OF
thse kings probably was more potent
than King Edgar, who. possessing an
absolute dominion of the neighboring
sea, sailed around about 1t every wear
and secured II with a constant guard.
These ships, being very stout ones,
were in number l 200: some writer's
even affirm that there were 1880 sail

good results in the manufacturing are
lost. Many women ruin the most fault
less creations by poor carriage and
ungraceful walk, or by sitting down all
In heap, which brushes and twists
the best hanging skirts out of their
original shape. Some women are hope
less so far as style goes, while others
are a great success no matter what
they may have on. The woman utterly
devoid of some natural style is, as a
rule, slovenly, having her clothes pitch
ed on any way to get into them.
Her hair is stringy, gloves ill-fitting
and soiled, veil looking ms though il
had blown toward her and by accident
found lodging place on her millinery.
Her general air is one of neglect and
usually in keeping with the ungainly
walk seen In so many women who give
their personal appearance little or no
thought. The stylish woman has a
good poise, stands wen. walks well and
her clothes take on just the correct
swing. Put these same clothes on the
woman who shambles and stands on
her heels with shoulders forward and
abdomen thrown up and the style of
toilet Is swallowed up in the lack of
style In the woman herself 1t is safe
to say that more style is lost in the
way woman carries herself anc
wears her clothes than in the actua
making Of her wardrobe.

Queer Economy o German fmpress
1t Is well known that the German
Empress Is an Ideal housekeeper as
well ms an ideal wife and mother. Her
dread OF waste goes so far that the
suits of her elder children are cut down
to fit the younger boys, and her own
court dresses are altered again and
again, so as not to be recognized when
they are worn at many court functions.
Yet it is also reported an army OF
twelve dressmakers Is always at work
for the Empress. and that 1t Is increas-
ed to over thirty whenever the EN-
press Is about to start on n journey.
