SELECTED VERSE;


When I dreamed not of light
OF light for all the weeping years to be,
Sweetheart, sweetheart, why did you come that
nigh.
Over the world to me?
Love had so long lain dead
His heart dust, his memory faint and far
AS the sad light through desolate spaces shed
From forgotten star.
Over his grave no tears
Fell in the darkness of a soul at strife;
Yet now love raises from the ruined years.
Kissed by your lips to life.
When l dreamed not of light
One with the StarieSs wrecks far out at sea-
Sweetheart, sweetheart, why did you come that
night
Over the world to me?
Sorrow had dwelt so long
In my hushed heart, that sweeter did she seem
Than joy and the sigh is kissed to song
Again the dream-the dream!
Again the dream sweetheart,
And earth all music for a moment space;
Ard then the waking, and the life apart
Far from your face-your face!
Still-still to wake and Weep
To dwell with sorrow in her dim retreat
Yet in my heart the thought of you to keep,
And say, THE dream was sweet
blessed be the light
OF that dear dream for all the years to be!
Sweetheart, sweetheart thank God you came that
night

Do You Walk Well.

Philadelphia Press.
The maiden who desires above and be-
yond all things to acquire physical buoy
ancy and 1.-THE movements should give her
attention moment to her center of grav-
ity.
This perhaps she may not know should
never be over her heels, but over the balls
Of her feet. When one first tries the ex-
pertinent of balancing in the correct way
the sensation is very much that of tum-
bling over.
But ten days later and one exclaims, "Oh
I feel so much lighter and younger than
when my weight rested on my heels"
1t is indeed, the easiest position possible
and worth taking some trouble to acquire
The preliminary step in learning the art
of true balancing is to practice heel eleva-
ton or toe standing as taught by Swedish
movements.
Exercise 1-Raise the heels quickly from
the ground and stand as high on tiptoe as
possible. then lower the heels with moder-
ate speed, without tipping the weight of
the body backward. To increase the diff
Guilty Of balance, after one has become a
little expert, go through this exercise with
the arms raised upright.
Exercise keep the heels on the ground
and lift alternately the balls of the feet
and put them down with a slight pressure
one foot moving up as the other moves
down. The speed should be about seventy
movements per minute. Care must be
taken not to move the shoulders from side
to Side-a common fault.
Exercise 3-Lift the heels, bend the knees,
straighten the body, then sink the heels.
The knees must point in the direction of the
feet, and remain bent at right angles. This
is a true balance movement to be done
with moderate speed.
Exercise lift the heels, bend the knees,
again at right angles to the body, and sit
down with the body erect.
Exercise 5-Bend the knee; lift the leg
slowly upward and forward until hip and
knee are bent at right angles. The instep
should be stretched so that the toes point
downward, the knee pointing sideways, fer
ward. Common faults, in practicing this
exercise, are to incline the body backward,
tip the shoulder to the opposite side, and
to bend the knee of the leg which holds the
body
movements are to alternate, first with one
foot and then with the other.
Exercise 6-Standing with the hips firm,
move first the right and then the left foot,
parallel with itself, twice its own length
forward and place it on the ground with q
the weight of the body being carried equal
ly by both feet. The movements should be
taken backward as well.
These exercises bring into play all the
muscles of the legs as we'll as those about
the waist.
Walking on tiptoe is an excellent balance
movement. The shoulders should be kept
level throughout the exercise which is then
one of the best means of correcting the
habit of tipping the shoulders from side to
side when walking. In walking on tiptoe
one lands on the balls of the feet, which

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A New Discovery Which Is Worth
That Much.
To ANY one Afflicted with piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure. the new painless
remedy which has been so remarkably sue
cessful in curing every form of piles and
rectal diseases, has recently been placed on
sale at druggists and it is safe to say that
when its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known. there win be no such thing as surgi-
cal operations for the cure of this obstinate
and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkly, of COL Mississippi
street. indianapolis, Ind, says: l had been
terrible sufferer from piles for fifteen
years and no remedies benefited me. until /
saw an advertisement of the Pyramid Pile
Cure; l got a package, also a package of
Pyramid Pills and used both according 10
directions I was astonshed at the immedl-
ate relief obtained and now l honestly be-
lieve the Pyramid to be the only certain
cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad 1 was,
will say that 1 was confined to my bed and
went before the college physicians here who
said my case was new one for them and
wanted seven or eight hundred dollars to
undertake q cure; the great pain had
brought on rupture, and l knew an oper-
alton would be death to me on account of
blood poisoning. Nearly every one here
knows of my terrible suffering from piles
and 1 feel that 1 cannot praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure enough and the Pyramid Pills
also. My husband will join me in highly
recommending the Pyramid, my daughter
was cured by one box only For several
years l weighed but about ninety pounds.
now 1 weigh $50 and feel in perfect health
This seems to be the universal testimony
of every sufferer from piles who have ever
tried the Pyramid; it is the safest, most
painless pile cure yet discovered; contains
no opiate, morphine, cocaine, or any poi
sonous ingredient whatever, has a soothing,
healing effect from the first application,
and the moderate price places it within
the reach of everyone needing treatment
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists
at so cents and 81 per package and the
Pyramid Pills at % cents per box.

"LittIe BIue-Ribbons.v

Little Blue Ribbons" We called her that
From the ribbons she wears in her favorite hat;
For may not person be only five
And yet have the neatest of taste alive?
AS matter of fact. this one has views
OF the strictest sort to frocks and shoes,
And object to a sash or bow
When little Blue Ribbons prefers it so.
Little Blue Ribbons" has eyes of blue
And arch little mouth, when the teeth peep
through
And her primitive look is wise and grave,
With a sense OF the weight of the word be
have"
Though now and again she may condescend
To radiant smile for private friend
But to smile forever is weak, you know,
And little Blue Ribbons regards it so.
Dear little Blue Ribbons!' She tells all
That she never intends to be great and tall"
dor how could she contrive to sit
In her ''oWn, own chair if she grew one bit?
And. further, she says, she intends to stay
In her darling home till she gets quite gray -
Alas we are gray and doubt, you know;
But little Blue Ribbons will have it so.

A Useful Calling.
Chicago Times-I

Chicago Times-Herald.
The ways that the gentlewoman thrown
on her own resources earns her bread are
sometimes as mysterious the ways of
Providence. One woman, as untitled for
battling with the world, as are most of the
graduates of the female seminary of a
decade or two ago. has paid her expenses
this summer and managed to put by a mod
est sum besides by teaching "bugology' to
a class of little girls. The pupils are
daughters of a busy society woman who,
having a sound mind in sound body"
wished her three little daughters to culti-
vate the same comforting possessions. At
the big country place of the family, down
on Long island, these little maidenS are al
lowed to run at large. They have their
own boats, ponies and phaetonS; dogs and
pets of every description are their play
mates, and their social education is being
winfully neglected. Into this home came
the Sweet-Voiced woman who knew all
about bees and butterflies" She could tell
exactly what kind of a spider it was who
wove portiereS across the window by exam
lining his web. She could tell the most de-
lghtful stories of the adventurous spotted
frog who made his home under the piazza.
She knew what color egg each bird laid,
and just how the beautiful little nests
were put together, twig by twig and leaf
by leaf. She could take you to the home
of the field mouse near the cornfeld and
worlds of wonder with her knowledge of
butterflies and her intimate acquaintance
with the little fish that lived in the brook
and the pollywogs and dragon flies that
played in and over the water. All the
long summer days the children studied and
learned more about the creatures of wood
and meadow than they had ever dreamed
of before Brownies and pixies were sunk
into oblivion by the new-found charms of
ants and grasshoppers, and the pleasure of
studying a hoptoad became more absorbing
even than dreaming about the fairies and
their revels in sylvan dells.
The departure of the birds, the winter
provisions of ants and squirrels and other
early winter happenings in the country will
be watched for anXiously by the class, and

ural history are to supplement the summer

Pl.atipu lilies.

Vick's Monthly
A cardinal point in he culture of lilies
is to keep them under ground. Order the
bulbs early, so that they need not remain
long in the importers storage room; plant
them as soon as they are received, and
never, in subsequent transplanting. allow
them to remain one minute longer above
ground than is absolutely necessary. Ere
quent removals of lilies are to be deplored.
The bulbs should not be disturbed so long
as they flower satisfactorily Root growth
for another season begins as soon as the
tops die down. The hardness of lilies is
usually overestimatdd. AS a general thing
they suffer from shallow planting, and
often the necessary winter mulch is forgot
ten. Lilies should be covered at least four
inches in heavy soil and from six to eight
inches in light one ] plant my lilies in
pure sand, and mulch them after the tops
die down with COW manure. over which,
later on, is spread thick layer of half
decayed leaves. The lilies are planted along
n shruhbery border. with special pockets"
of sand followed out for them here and
there. The foliage of the shrubs protects
the roots of the lilies. and their buds and
flowers here have leaves enough to form
a good background. The shrub roots also
drain the soil all that is necessary.

He isn't for you,

For a Queen without rival or peer,
But the little Boy shot, and the King has

Hi, love, what would you be at?
What an impudent thing
To make game of King;

"If you keen complaining, he swore,

Woman Who Rushes.

Philadelphia Record
II is fad of the up-to-date woman to be-
or to affect to be. tremendously busy to
have every moment of the walking hours
filed in; to rush from one engagement to
another. and to condense in twenty-four
hours the work of twelve that number.
What is the object of all this? Heaven
knows unless it is that no one woman shall
boast that her social engagements exceed in
number those of any other. for to confess
that one is not in mad rush from day to
day is 10 acknowledge that one is not in the
swim-a humiliating admission for the pro-
gressive woman of the end of the century
And who pays the piper for this con-
tinuOuS round of OCCUPATIONS and preOCcU-
pations? Why, the woman herself and her
family Who does not know the oft-repeat-
ed story, the tired-out wife and mother. the
irritable, fault -nndfng mistress and the
Eypercritical friend-the result of the effort
TO accomplish multiplicity of trifes in a
given time or period. And then the air of
martyrdom which the overfatigued woman
assumes is not the least trying part of the
ordeal which the family of the too ener-
getic one must bear. She rides. for in
common sense should limit her to half that
number. She comes home physically ex-
hausted. and for the remainder of the day
her expression OF patient fatigue rivals that
of an early martyr
Or during the house-cleaning period she
condenses the labor of two days into one,
ard at night is so worn out and assumes SO
palpable an air of accomplishing resigna-
ton that the very sight of her is irritating
&c the last degree, and instead of sympathy
she usually gets what she really deserves, a
wholesome letting-aloneness or a good
scolding for her foolish overZealousness.
What women really need to learn is that
the life of a truly dignifed useful woman
is not given up TO this mad rush from one
occupation TO another; that nothing good or
lasting Is done in haste, and that hurry is a
fatal hindrance to the accomplishment of
any work of real and permanent value. Let
us leave hurry TO slaves said the phloso-
pher Emerson--a saying which should be
blazonnd in letters of gold over the door of
the adobe of every modern Martha whose
soul is troubled with many things.
