1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you've left undone,
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear
Are your haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of brothers way,
The bit of a heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
The little act of kindness,
So easily out of mind;
Those chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds
They come in the night and silence
Each chill, reproachful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging,
And u blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it's not the thing you do, dear
It's the thing You leave undone,
Which gives you bit of heartache
AT the setting of the sun.

TAKE COURAGE.

Let those who have failed take courage,
Though the enemy seemed to have
won,
Though his ranks are strong, if he be in
the wrong,
The battle is not yet done,
For, sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
O, man bowed down with labor,
o, woman young, yet old,
o, heart, oppressed in the tailor's breast
And crushed by the power ofgold,
Keep on with your weary battle
Against triumphant might,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

Midwinter Millinery.

The chdDedU par excellence is of
black velvet. 1t is broad brimmed,
bell-crowned affair, heavily plumed
and picturesque, as large hats are
wont to be. The Gainsborough shape
serves as the model for all large hats,
the shapes being varied to suit indi-
vidual faces. In one the crown is
lowered, In another the brim is less
ened and gently curved or bent up
high at the back or at one side. The
disposition of trimming, too, is made
with reference to the type of the
wearer's face-at the back, at the
side or directly in front. A new ca
price concentrates the trimming at
the back, flowers outside the brim,
which is usually turned up, and
feathers spread fan-wise inside to
overshadow the crown. The effect
is jaunty.
The arrangement Of many long
black plumes on a black velvet
GainsbOrOugh having "A medium
wide brim is novel and effective. A
cord finishes the edge of the brim
and about it at the right side is laid
IA plume with the tip falling at the
back. Upon the left side a plume is
disposed so that the tip falls just
over the brim in front. Three up
right plumes are adjusted at the left
side and at the center of the front
and back are great rOsette bows of
black MORE taffetta ribbon.
A smart hat, which youthful
wearer might suitably don with a
gray cloth skating costume, is Tam
O'Shanter of gray velvet. AT the
left side the hat is built up high and
trimmed with three small gray tips.
On a band, also ut the left side,
are fixed three large emerald-and-
Rhinestone pins which give color
and animation to the pretty cap.
Another Tam O'Shanter for even
ing wear is composed of viOlets. The
trimming at the left side consist of a
bunch of violet leaves and single
American beauty rose.
A floral tOque, also for evening
wear, is made entirely of pink roses,
The crown is pointed and the brim
is broad at the back. At the left
side is fastened IA black velvet bow
which supports bunch of black
tips, Rhinestone pin sparkling in
the center of the bow.
A dainty toque that may be worn
in the carriage or at the theatre is OF
white velvet embroidered in silver
At the left side are two white tips
and black aigrette spangled witt
Rhinestones. A bunch of violets al
the back gives II charming note OF
color.-February Delineator.

Treatment of Measles.

The secondary symptoms of meas
les and dangers attending relapse
have turned the medical mind to-
ward research in the hope that some
means would be found by which such
effects could be avoided. Expert
ences with jacket poultices prove
their great value in cases of measles
AS soon as the disease is clearly in
dictated, the patient is put into one
of these pOultices and not allowed to
become chilled until the severity of
the attack is past. In renewing the
pOultices the utmost precautiOn must
be taken, and the old one should not
be removed until the new one is at
hand. Indeed, it is best to take the
old one off little by little and at once
apply that which is fresh.
The operation should be performed
in very warm room. In open
houses, where there is no possibility
of keeping up the proper tempera-
ture, bandage made of cotton bat
thing should be wrapped around the
body and limbs. If there is any
trouble experienced about keeping
the cotton in place, it may be secur-
ed by quilting or lacking it into the
inside of knitted shirt and under
vest. 1t must be applied very thick
ly, and the garments must fit snugly
and be worn continuously. The
great value of this form OF treatment
seems to be keeping the patient per.
fectly warm and avoiding any eX.
posture of the surface of the body to
cold. Out of 300 children treated
with jacket poultices all but three
recovered.-New York Ledger.

Beauty.

Personal beauty is something far
more within wOman's own control
than she suppOses. In answer to q
question of how human being
could reach a certain desirable state,
Swami Saradananda replied at
Greenacre, think that way" Just
so. The woman who would be beau
tiful must begin and think that way.
Indulgence in unpleasant emotions
and broOding over disappointments
are ruinous to good looks, especially
as there is no disappointment worth
brOoding over one hour and no loss
that is irreparable. First live pure
and true life as you know how to.
Cultivate kindly thoughts Of all peO-
pie. They are as good as you are.
Keep yourself always in cheerful,
happy, hopeful frame of mind. Any
girl can train herself to do this after
awhile. The sunny, hopeful, aspir-
ing mind is one of the secrets of per-
petual youth. Then follow Swami's
directions and think yourself into
beauty. II you have an objection
able nose or bad complexion, don't
let your mind dwell on it. On the
contrary think of yourself always
as having lily and rose complexion
and a classic nose. Never let your
self dwell on defOrmities of either
body or mind, either in yourself or
others. Think of goodness and
beauty.

The sweet pea has found its way
to the decoration of headwear. Pale
purple, pink and white are all
gathered in one bundle as if just
plucked. The artists have copied
from nature almost well enough to
deceive the very honey bees, and it
is needless to say that the feminine

these are trimmed with the lace
frills and jabots. Some Of these
bolerOs are deliberately braided by
hand which makes them set and
hang we'll, besides making them
more dressy and handsome.
An elegant new gown has an eX-
tremely pretty bodice, trimmed in
the handkerchief style, which is
quite new. and very popular Just at
present. This dress is made of gOl-
den brown double cashmere, and
the sleeves are tucked from the
wrist to the shoulder. The vest is
also finely tucked, and the collar
and soft revers are made Of tur-
quoise- blue silk, with small brown
designs upon it. All of these are
hemmed at the edges like pocket
handkerchief, and they are caught
together at the throat with hand
some cabOchOns, which match the
ornamental belt at the waist. The
ruffie at the neck is of soft brown
silk, and the en- tout cas- is also of
silk, with brown and blue stripes.
These graceful handkerchief trim
mings are much used on blOuses,
and they can be carried out most
successfully with bandana hand
| kerchiefs, which are exceedingly
| decorative on account of their rich
coloring, and the combinations of
shades are so numerous that it is al
ways easy to find design to tone
well with anv cOlOred cloth or serge.
They are also used with very good
effect to make sleeveless vests for
wearing with open coats, and in
this case the borders are cut off and
gathered into little frills to go across
the top of the vest. Rich squares
of velveteen in Paisley colorings
make splendid winter vests, but
these, of course, are too heavy to
make into frills, and the borders are
generally used for the collar and
waistbelt, and to form revers in
front.

powerful than any vessel In the United
States navy, so far as armament is
concerned. She is provided with a
steel waterline belt eighteen inches
thick at the maximum, and has speed
of about sixteen knots an hour. An
other superior craft Is the armored
cruiser, Emperator Carlus ", with a
tonnage of 9,100. She carries two elev-
en-inch guns In barbettes ten inches
thick, eight 51a-inch rapid fire guns,
and four four-ineh rapid firers together
with powerful secondary battery of
rapid fire six and three-pounder guns
Her protective deck Is six inches thick
two-lnch steel. She is the newest of
the Spanish fleet of any considerable
size. There Is in the Spanish navy also
one Of the finest types of the modern
armored cruiser. 1t is the Infanta Ma
ria Theresa. She represents a fleet of
eight cruisers of her own sort which
fly the Spanish flag. Her armament
consists of two $500 guns in bar
bettes and ten 5-10-inch rapid firers.
For protection she has belt at the
water line twelve inches thick along
the central body of the ship. Twelve
inches is the thickness of the barbette
armor.
AS opposed to the PelayO, our navy
has wonderful battleships In the Iowa,
the Indiana and the Massachusetts.
These two latter warships have each
an armament of four 13-inch and four
6-inch guns, and are of IL 900 tons dis
placement, as compared with the Pc
lagos 10000. The Oregon, another
monster. has very thick plate of side
armor. which constitutes Its superior
ity. The cruiser New York is n pro-
totype of the Carlos, while its compan-
ion warship, the Brooklyn, is little
more than equal to either. This vessel
carries eight S-lnch and twelve 5-inch
guns, and Is infinitely more modern
than even the famous New York. In a
sea fight, 1t is the opinion of experts,

up hard naval fight under all circum-

6lduceS.
There is one point of advantage we
have over Spain, and that 1t is our
rams and monitors. While every mod
ern warship Is possessed of a ram, we
have in the Katahdln a vessel built for
nothing else but sinking her PROV into
an unlucky foe. The Katahdin is not a
very big vessel as warships go, for her
tonnage is only 2,200, but she could
knock the spots off the best warship
that was ever constructed, armored or
unarmored, If only given half a chance.
Then there are our five double-turreted
monitors, of which the most powerful
Is the Puritan, of 5000 tons. About
half her size, are the Terror the Am
phitrite, the Monadnock and the Mian-
tonomah. Their armor is IL inches
thick and their guns are 1O-inch pieces.
OF course the monitor is pre-eminently
a coast defender. In smooth water and
for harbor work this craft is unsur-
passed.
AS opposed to Spain In general naval
equipment, we have 33 armored ships,
'NsA WI uhAot SHIPS,
with Dol guns; 2S unarmored gunboats,
with 262 guns, l dispatch vessel, with
10 guns; 36 training and store ships,
with 112 guns, and 27 torpedo boats.
As against the 960 guns on board of
vessels In the Spanish navy, the United
States has 1,640 guns, of which GA are
from 40 to 80 tons, 1873 from 20 to 40
tons, 317 from to 20 tons, and 1,0S0
under four tons.
If worst comes to worst and our war
ships were inadequate in point of num-
bers, We could call on our big liners for
aid. OF course it would not take much
time to make unarmored cruisers out of
them, and so far as speed is concerned,
there is nothing in the Spanish navy or
our own, either, for that matter, which
could touch them. Spain has one big
liner upon which 1t could draw-the
Compania Transatlantic, whose thir-
ty-two steamers have a gross tonnage
Of more than 100000.

There has been considerable specula-

pen at sea II the United States and
Spain went to war. Possibly there are
those who have an idea that the Span
ish naval force Is insignificant. Facts
snow quite contrary view of the mat
ter. Spain has at the present time
II armored ships, with 800 guns; 63
unarmored ships, with 306 guns; ar
mored gunboats, with II guns; 40 unar-
mored gunboats, with 267 guns; dis
patch vessels, with 8 guns; 10 training
and store ships, with 10 guns, and 70
torpedo boats. The total number of
guns on board the vessels In the Span
ish navy is 960, ten of which weigh
from 40 to 80 tons, 110 from 20 to 40
tons, 2o6 from to 20 tons, and BOD un-
der 4 tons. OF the torpedo boats, go
are over 100 feet in length, and are pro-
yided with torpedo eatchers and every
other valuable device known to modern
naval equipment.
The most formidable ship in the
Spanish navy is the Pelayo, of 10000
tons burden, which was constructed by
French shipbuilders about ten years
ago. She represents the most formid-
able advancement along the line of ma
val warfare accomplished during the
period that has elapsed since the Amer
lean civil war. Her ram Is of the most
powerful variety, and her battery con-
sists of two II $40 inch rapid fire guns,

San Francisco seems to be the natu-

there say that ten out of twelve of the
inhabitants suffer from Indigestion.
The only explanation suggested is the
fact that the climate allows fruit and
vegetables to be had almost the year
around, so that there Is not the en-
