Standby of Art for Girls.

II wish | could make my girls un-
derstand," writes Ruth Ashmore, ad-
dressing "The Girl Who Aspires to
Art" In the Ladies' Home Journal,
that while each 'e should aspire to
the best work, that girl is foolish who,
having been once made conscious OF
her mistake, persists in offering
mediocre work that deserves no recog-
milton whatever. II you feel that you
have the artistic Instinct and the love
for color, then seek for yourself a
good art school, ard find out in what
branch of work your ability lies; you
will then be more apt to attain the
position you long for than if you are
content with self-culture. 1t is a
practical impossibility for you to teach
yourself. If you have foolishly be-
believed all the praise that has been
given you then be sure you will never
succeed. You will be wasting your
money in going to any school. Put
out of your pretty head some of the
silly fancies that are there. The girl
who learns to draw a good wallpaper
design, who learns how to combine
colors SO that a rich-looking rug is
the result, who understands how to
embellish a book with suitable cover
she is the girl who can be called an
artist. She does not ask the world to
look upon her from sentimental
point of view, because she has claims
to distinction and can demand recog-
nition."

months she lost twenty three pounds.
"We did everything possible for her,
and she had the best OF medical treatment.
"Severai skilled physicians attended
her, bot no benefit was apparent.
"a family friend visiting Us, told how
her daughter had been similarly affected,
but cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"She urged Us to try the pills, and we
finally consented.
"We have always rejoiced that we did.
"Ihe pills helped Ley at once, and
after taking eight boxes she was entirely
cured.
"She is now in perfect health, strong,
weighs ten pounds more than ever before,
and her cheeks are foil Of color.
"Two years Of schooling were missed
on account Of i'll health, bat new she can
crafty her ambition to study and become
an educated woman"
The reason that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People were teipfui in the above
case, is that they are composed Of veseta-
bic remedies which act directly on the
impure blood, the foundation Of disease.
As the blood iushes through all parts
Of the body, the eonveyer OF good or bad
health, it is necessary that It should be
pure, rich and red.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills hui'd up the
blood by Supplying its life giving elements
which nourishes the varioos organs, slim
ulating them TO activity in the perform
ance Of their functions and thus drives
disease from the system.
The pills are in universal demand and
sold BY all druqqists.

pie of Minersvale ard everybody from

Miss Stella was upon every tongue.
Miss Morton spent the day with her
friend.
Nothing had been heard from the adj
jutant. Miss Stella had asked, him to
come to her and he had not come. That
was nearly two days ago and he had
not even answered. She had been so
continent that upon receipt of her mes
sage, day or night, he would hasten to
her side as fast as his speediest horse
could carry him. His silence troubled
her, palpably to the detriment of her
health She did not doubt his con-
stancy but feared for his person.
There was no telling what had befallen
him.
After discussing the matter with Miss
Morton she telegraphed to Lieutenant
Doyle inquiring for the adjutant. That
message, too, remained unanswered.
The next day, however, came mes
sasge from the adjutant:
Have been absent; Doyle with me.

time in four days see newspaper.

There, at the gate, in the sight of all
who chose to see she 'paralyzed pro-

by throwing her arms about his neck
and kissing him over and over and
over.
Together the lovers entered the
house and west into the drawing room
whence the assembled family had wit
messed the scene at The gate. Standing
just within the threshold of the room,
Miss Stella's arm drawn within his
own, the adjutant said:
Miss Stella and | will be married

of her parents and sisters in quiet

Miss Zenith left the room so quietly
that no one observed her going. After
all the others had submitted their con-

she found her, her face buried in the

GEMS AND THEIR STORY.
Some Pretty Stones and Tales Connected
With Them.

Who could wish for a prettier stone
than the delicate blue turquoise, the
gem which in Russia is set in every en-
gagement ring, and with which the
wearer must never part if she values
the love and fidelity of the giver? 1t
is said to be far more precious if given
and not bought, and is credited to
change color when the wearer is sick
or sorry or when danger is near. Its
meaning is success and faithfulness.
The topaz is much valued by mari
ners, because it is supposed to possess
an inner radiance which will give light
in darkness, and if worn around the
neck will act as charm against magic
spells, will Danish melancholy and calm
terror and madness. Therefore, it be-
hooves every maid to see that topaz
is among her possessions
Another exquisite gem is the opal, its
beautiful creamy surface lit with red,
blue and yellow rays scintillating in
the light and giving it place in the
front rank of precious stones. Unfor-
tunately, the opal has bad name, and
we know the proverb about the dog
with the unlucky cognomen. Supersti-
ton credits this beautiful stone with
bringing misfortune to its owner, and
superstition will win its way so long as
the world lasts
Next we come to pearls, the costly
product of the pearl fish of the Persian
Calf These lovely gems are obtained
from the bed of the sea by divers, who
bring up as many of the oyster-like
shells as they can, and then place them
in heaps on the shore covered with
sand. They are left for several days
while the fish decay and the shells
open, after which the sand is sifted and
the pearls found. They are then
cleansed and polished The value of
the pearl depends on its size, round
ness, color and brightness. The most
renowned pearls were the two which
formed Cleopatra's earrings, one Of
which she dissolved in goblet of vim
egar and drank to the health of her
guest, Mare Antony
The remaining pearl became the
property of the Emperor Augustus, who
had 1t cut, in two for earrings for his
daughter Julia.
