a PICTURE MEMORY PAINTS

I am tired Of the city. with it's hustle,
thrift and din,
am weary of the sQualor. of the poverty,
the sin,
And turn from trades activity delighted
ly to dream !
am again barefoot rover long the mar
gin of a stream, =.
Where the willows dip their branches in
the waters placid flow,
Where the dog-wood blossoms fioated In the
land-of-long-ago,
And dream of that low cottage, weather.
beaten, out-of-date,
And the hOllyhockS that huddled round
the old front gate.
Memory paints for me a picture Of sap
ling for pole,
A linen cord, hooks, bobbers, and the
shaded fshing-hole,
A boy who wore one gallus-always twist
ed, by the by
And torn straw-hat-that care.free, happy
hearted boy was I!
In one corner Of the picture water-lilies add
the chrome
OF their hearts, a small reminder of the
sunshine of that home,
Where to vine-wreathed porch, low door
step, f1owered pathways lead you
straight
From the hollyhocks that tuddled round
the old front gate.
Az dreaming view the picture I can hear
the mellow tone
VI the cow-bells changing vespers in the
clearing alder-grown,
AND there comes old Bossy's mooing, just
as even lights the stars,
And the thud of falling tinbers-some one
letting down the bars.
All, to be a child of Nature once again
I'd glad resign
The all that fame has brought me; yea, the
sordid wealth that's mine,
60 care-free and happy-hearted forth to
make my peace with Fate.
Meath the hollyhocks that huddle round
the old front gate.

those who came to greet her as an op.
cratic star at the French opera house.
Just before the curtain rose on the
opening night Mr.. Strakosch, who was
to conduct the opera, appeared in the
greenroom and was amazed to find the
pride of Lammermoor waiting to go
on the stage with her own black tresses
waving down her back, instead of the
pale, corn-colored locks of the Scottish
lassie.
"Why, Addie, what does this mean?"
excitedly inquired the great impresa-
rio.
THAT I am going to wear my own
hair tonight" answered the budding
prima donna.
''But you must not. It is inartistic
inaccurate, absurd"
"Oh, no, it is not absurd" calmly
responded Patti. my old friends in
New Orleans only know me as black
haired, skinny little Italian, and not as
a golden-crowned Scotch girl. Besides,
I will not disguise myself tonight to
please anyone"
The distracted manager argued, pro-
tested, threatened and cajo,ed, but
"Addie" stood firmly to her purpose.
A tremendous welcome was accorded
the youthful diva. but. the audience
greeted Lucia not asa fair-polled bride,
but as their own "black-haired, skinny
little Italian. Chicago Chronicle.

PRESERVING SEASON.
Suggestion Regarding Putting Up
Fruit That Should Be Regarded
by Wise HOusekeepers.

In putting up fruit see that all the
essentials are on hand before beginning
work. Don't wait until the fruit is in
the preserving kettle before running
TO the corner grocery for sugar. 1t is
economy of time to buy sugar in Is or
50-pound bags, for you will need it right
along, suggests writer in the Wash
ington Star. See that all utensils are
in perfect order, that supply of new
rubber bands is on hand and that the
cans and glasses are as clean and sweet
and clear as soap and water can make
them. # every time can has been
emptied 1t has been carefully washed
and dried and put away with it's own
top screwed on this part of the work
will be greatly simplified.' Yet, even
If cleaned before putting away, they
will need to be scalded just before
using. Have ready small sharp-point-
ed knife for pairing; a silver-plated
fruit knife ground to fine edge and
kept expressly for this purpose is best.
Have half pound of paraAin on hand
for covering jellies, several long-han-
uA0A "oouCA opOouS. d Adu4c, COlduOer,
bright tin strainer, a, small skewer
or silver nutpick, several large bowls
and Platters and couple of large por-
celain or granite kettles. Never use tin
vessels for cooking fruit, nor yet iron.
Brass, when thoroughly cleaned, is
pleasant to use, but its expense and
the labor necessary to keep it in good
condition preclude it's adoption in the
ordinary kitchen. A plentiful supply
of cheesecloth and towels, and a large
inouthed funnel to use in filling jars
should also be in readiness.
The size of the cans to be used may
depend largely on the size Of the fam
lily. For a small family the pint-sized
jar is best for nearly everything, TAX
ing pains to select those with wide
mouthed tops. Half-gallon jars will be
found useful for large whole fruits.

WIVES OF PRESIDENTS.
ing American Women Who Have
Ruled the White House,

OF mistresses of the white house one
of the most popular was Mrs. James K.
Polk. Like Mrs. Cleveland, she was
brunette, and of fine presence; it was
often remarked that not a crowned
head in Europe could queen it more
royalty than the wife of the republican
president. Poets penned verses in her
honor, and on the last Sunday of her
stay in Washington clergyman ad-
dressed her from the pulpit. She was
treated with great distinction, and aft
er leaving the white house was visited
every New Years day by the legislature
in body.
Mrs. George Washington also had
dark hazel eyes and brown hair. She
was not beauty, but she had good
form, rather below middle weight, and
her manners were frank and engaging.
She dressed plainly, and at a ball given
in her honor she wore simple russet
gown and white handkerchief about
her neck. One of her dresses, which she
herself manufactured, was of cotton,
striped with silk, which she obtained
from ravelings of brown silk stockings
and old crimson chair covers.
Mrs. Monroe was considered beauty.
She was tall and gracefully formed,
polished and attractive in society. Mrs.
John Adams was never beautiful, but
she was of imposing appearance and
very intellectual.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was famed
for her charming manners, and Mrs.
Andrew Jackson for her amiable tenn
per and kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van
Buren. who died before her husband be-
came president, was pretty woman,
with modest, unassuming manners and
gentle disposition.
The first Mrs. Tyler was one of the
bellies of eastern Virginia, and was most
attractive in her striking loveliness of
person and character. The second Mrs.
Tyler was the first woman to marry a
president. Before her marriage she
was, for the one season she spent there,
the belle of Washington.
A sparkling brunette was Mrs. Will
liam Henry Harrison. She was very
handsome. with face full of anima-

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
Notre Dame. Indiana.

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of St. Mary's Academy
which appears in another column of this pa
per: The 10th year opens September 4th,
1900. We do not need to expatiate upon the
scholastic advantages of st. Mary's for the
catalogue of the school shows the scope Of
work included in its curriculum, which is
OF the same high standard as that of Vassar
and Bryn Mawr, and is carried out faith
fully in the class rooms. We simply empha-
size the spirit of earnest devotion which
makes every teacher at St. Mary's Loyalty
strive to develop each young girl attendant
there into the truest, noblest, and most in
telligent womanhood. Every advantage of
equipment in the class rooms, laboratories
and study rooms, every care in the matter of
food and clothing, and exceptional excel
lence of climatic conditions-allo of these fea-
lures are found at St. Mary's, in the perfec-
ton OF development only to be obtained by
the conservation of devoted lives to educa-
tional Christian work, in spot favored by
the Lord.-The Fine Arts Journal.

tion, and her health, which was robust,
added glow to her features, which in
creased her charms. upon her coun-
tenance," it is recorded, mature had
been profusely liberal"
Mrs. Thomas Jefferson was remark
able for her beauty. Her complexion
was brilliant; her large, expressive eyes
of''the richest tinge of auburn" Alittle
above medium weight, she was slightly
and delicately formed. She danced,
sang, played the spinnet and harpsi-
chord and rode with great skill.
Mrs. James Madison was a pretty,
buxom woman, with smile and pleas
ant word for everyone. She had regu-
lar features and sparkling eyes.
Mrs. Zachary Taylor was a quiet
woman, but had great strength of char
acter and the true spirit of the Amer
lean heroine, enduring patiently priva-
tion incident to life on the frontier,
where her husband, as Maj. Taylor, was
stationed. She had no ambition beyond
making her home happy.
A blond of rare beauty was Mrs. Mil
lard Fillmore, with a skin of dazzling
whiteness and auburn hair. She was
quite tall, with a fine figure and of COM
manding presence. She is ranked with
the wives of the two Adamses as a
learned woman, and it was through her
that her husband asked for and OBJ
tanned an appropriation Of congress to
buy books for the white house. Up to
that time there had been Bible there.
and little more.
Another woman of rare beauty was
Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She also had
many accomplishments. She was very
refined and quiet, stunning society.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln as girl was
very attractive and she had many suit
ors. When she became the mistress
of the white house she was ''fair and
forty" That she was the successor of
the popular and accomplished Miss
Lane was not a point in her favor. At
the first levee she appeared in pink
silk, decollete, short-sleeved dress and
a floral headdress, which ran down to
her waist and destroyed what comeli-
ness simplicity might have given her.
Mrs. Andrew Jackson possessed the
beauty of face and form which rem
dered her mother one of the most beau
tiful of women. Mrs. Grant was a
blond of delicate figure, rather below
middle stature. Mrs. Hayes was of very
attractive appearance. Mrs. Garfield
was noted for her tact, and her hus-
band once said that he never had to ex-
plain away any words of his wife.
Mrs. Arthur, who died before her hus-
band became president, was known as
"the beautiful Miss Herndon with the
marvellous voice" before her marriage.
Mrs. Harrison was fair as girl and
possessed the blond style of beauty,
which also. belongs to Mrs. Mckinley

Healthful and Delicious.

A most healthful dish is hasty pud-

water with a pint of Indian meal to

When this has been thoroughly dis

An Eye for Realism.

The new reporter in his story Of the we'd
ding wrote: '"The floral display stretched
from the chancel rail to the door of the
church."
The city editor, in mild manner, as is the
custom Of city editors with new reporters,
suggested:
7Couldn't you have used a better word
than stretched? Say the floral display
nodded, or .'twined,' or something like that
some word more suggestive of flowers"
Stretched is all right" replied the new
reporters with the stubborn courage of a
realist. "The decorations consisted of six
rubber plants, and they had to stretch to go
the distance" Baltimore American.

The Toothache in Summer.

Warm weather is trying enough in
itself without the extra annoyance of
toothache, and it is well to have reli-
able remedy at hand. Even the most
troublesome tooth may have the pain
almost instantly stopped by the use of
little of the common compound tinct-
ure of benzoin, sold everywhere in the
drug stores. Put few drops on cotton
and place it in or around, the tooth.

Every few months the male birds are stripped of their white plumes. each bird yielding about $50 worth of feathers annually. The birds are also sold to menageries, a fine pair being worth from $250 to $500 The hatch ing of the eggs requires forty-two days, Jhe hen covering them in the daytime and the male bird at night.
