Who in all the world suffers more anxiety
than the mother of little children? Their
ailments are so many, her knowledge so
limited. In her girlhood she had dreamed
of this time as season of romps with her
prettily dressed little ones, of teaching
them or being proud of them. She had no
thought of Illness and of the suffering she
must endure because of her inability to help
them. Each girl ought to find amongst her

A Worlds Brighteners.

A dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in it;
The song of life would lose its mirth
We're there no children to begin it,
No little forms, like buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender
No little hands, on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love-chords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap
No little feet toward slumber tending
No little knee in prayer to bend,
Our loving lips the sweet words lending
Lifes song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it;
doleful place the world would be,
Were there no little people in it.

Medical Qualities Of Salads.

No dinner is complete without salad.
This has come to be an accepted formula,
especially in the spring.
But it is not generally known that each
OF the various salads possesses therapeu-
tic property of its own, thus affording a
possibility of absorbing a medicine and, at
the same time, dainty article of food-to
combine, in a word, the useful and the
agreeable.
For example, lettuce contains we'll
known narcotic principle, opium, and may
therefore be taken for insomnia
Chicory has laxative properties.
Water cress is a tonic, excitant and
purifier, and may be recommended to
those of Emphatic temperament.
Sage is an antispasmodic and would be
of use to nervous people.
Celery, stimulant, will do good to the
oppressed.

EURopE,s DEMAND FOR OUR CORN.
Its GratiryfnE Features Aside from the Iume-
diats Gain In Money.

dthto Gain In money.
The demand for American corn abroad this
year Is a feature of tho export trade In grain
that Is attracting much attention. Until this
year Europe could not be induced to buy our
corn. In some quarters 1t was maintained that
the cereal was not 1T to eat. Our Consuls and
commercial agents. and even the exhibitors of
American cereals. have tried in vain to get
Europeans accustomed to Its use.
This year. however. the indications are differ
emit. A wheat famine stares Europe in the face.
and the price of wheat products has increased
enormously. The poorer people can no longer
afford to eat wheat bread and the other products
OF wheat. so they must have a substitute. Rye
has heretofore supplied this when wheat reached
famine prices But the rye crop this year abroad
Is as short as the wheat crop. Therefore neccs-
atty has accomplished what persuasion and ar
Rument could not.
II has been asserted that this demand for
corn would lower the price of wheat. 1t IL
wears since there has been so little wheat In tho
world as there Is now, and the corn crop has
seldom been heavier. 50 far. the price OF wheat
has not been materially affected. and the prices
OF corn and wheat have not tended TO diminish
! the exports OF either cereal. Export corn is now
90 per cent. higher than It was a year ago. 1t 10
predicted that. owing to the heavy shipments Of
wheat and corn. the balance OF trado in favor OF
the United States this year will be heavier
than It has been in years. The grain exports
show an increase from week to week. while in
general imports there has been almost as steady
a falling off.
