SOMETIME.

Some time wc shall know why
Our sunniest mornings change to Moons of
rain
And why our steps are shadowed so by pain.
And why we often lie
On couches sown with thorns OF care and
doubt
And why our lives are thickly hedged about
With bars that put our loftiest plans to rout.
Some time we shall know why
Our dearest hopes are swept 80 swift away,
And why our brightest flowers first decay
Why song Is lost In sight;
Why clasping fingers slip so soon apart
Estrangement space and death rend heart
from heart,
Until from deepest depths the tear-drops
start.
Some time we all shall know
Each other. aye. IA we ourselves are known;
And SEQ how out of darkness light has grown,
And He-who loves us so,
Despite our williulness and blind complaint
Will show us how His kind and calm
restraint
Can mould a human soul into n saint.
Some time our eyes shall see
The silver lining to the darkest cloud.
While silvery echoes follow thunders loud,
Some time our hearts shall be
Content, forgetting all our restless mood.
And knowing everything has worked for
good
The how, and when, and why, be under
stood.

Becoming Neckwear.

The high, fluffy effects continue on
wraps, bodices and the extra pieces
sold separately. Ostrich feather boas
in black, gray and black and white are
selling with renewed favor.
A new cravat is of white or light
silk, kilt plated, folded around the
throat and bowed in front in four loops
and two short fringed ends. They are
made to hook over at the back.
Black net collarettes, just covering
the shoulders, are of frills edged with
1 narrow quilting of taffeta silk in
changeable shades.
White tulle cravats are tied in a
large bow without ends. This is fancy
that returns every season, though it
does not always take. The little white
lawn dress tie worn in London and
New York with tailor suits and shirt
waists is just making its appearance,

Increase in KleptOmania.

Truth says that the release Of Mrs.
Walter NJ. Castle has been followed by
an alarming increase of kleptomania
in the West End of London. One
leading storekeeper states that he has
been obliged to take the law in his
own hands, recognizing the futility of
legal proceedings, and in view of the
fact that the disgrace of the arrest,
ETC., falls upon innocent members of
the families. This storekeeper says
that he watched a well-to-do lady and
caught her stealing several times.
Finally, he took her, he says, to his
private Office and offered her the choice
of arrest or summary chastisement
then and there. She accepted the
latter and the proprietor left her with
his sister, the manageress of the store,
who then birched the lady until the
latter howled for mercy and solemnly
swore never to do it again.

The Injury of Too Much Sewing.

Women wearied with much sewing
will appreciate and agree with this bit

Education:"

among those who know best, that the
practice of sewing has been carried
much too far for health, even in
houses where there is no poverty. ~,
pressure of any kind. No one ~
well be more fond Of sewing than r
am; and few, except professional seam
stresses, have done more of it; and
my testimony is that It'll most hurt
full occupation, except where great
moderation is observed. I think it is
not so much the sitting and STOPPING
posture as the incessant monotonous
action and position of the wear and
tear. Whatever it may be, there is
something in prolonged sewing which
is remarkably exhausting to the
strength, and irritating beyond en-
durance to the nerves. The censorious
gossip during sewing, which was the
bane of our youth, wasted more of our
precious youthful powers and dispo-
sitions than any repentance and
amendment in after life could repair"

One Of the wedding presents given
by the Queen of Italy to her daughter
in-law, the Crown Princess of Naples,
was bicycle, magnificently finished
in every respect. The Queen herself
possesses the most costly bicycle in
the world, presented to her some time
ago-of which all the fittings are of
gold. This bicycle is kept more for
show than use, much as the Queen
was delighted with it. The gold fit
tings naturally make it heavy, and are
therefore not practical. The Dow
ager-D Duchess of Aosta learned to ride
much earlier than Queen Margaret,
and she may be said to have intro
duced the sport into Italy for women.

One of the most promising fields in
the world for the motor car is West
ern Australia. There are thousands
of miles of fiat country, and into this
auriferous region English capital is
flowing in big blocks. The Western
Australian government is borrowing
all the money it can to open up this
region, and for many years to come
there will be great deal of activity
here in connection with property that
has to be carried long distances. The
camel is the beast of burden now, but
the bicycle is beginning to drive him
out. Miners find that they can pack
fair-sized loads on the wheels and get
over the country rapidly. A local
syndicate has been formed in Mel
bourne to manufacture motor cars,

conveyance will force out all others.

cholera microbe he was after. Thirteen
people had sat at mess in Saugor.
Nine of them got sick. Three had
cholera. One died. The microbe
was detected in waterproof in the

Conveyed into the kitchen, the microbe

The Paris correspondent of the
Medical Record tells us that in France
''ideas regarding the treatment of
fevers have undergone change dur
ing the last few years. For instance,
considering fever as symptom rather
than as disease, even in certain
specific fevers, French practitioners
respect it, as they say. That is, they
regard it as kind of pathological
compensation, an effort of nature to
throw of morbid process, and hence
to be looked upon as benign, and il
not actually encouraged, at least left
to itself. But it should not be treated
actively"
