Up the road came a glistening
phaeton drawn by quick-stepping
white flannel suit. As the Mathe-
MATES Man turned his eyes toward
the driver a faint shadow crossed his
face; but it was gone the next moment.
"And | am even saved the trouble
of walking back to the house." said
Margaret, as the young man drove up.
The Mathematics Man, with sup
pressed tenderness in his manner,
helped her into the phaeton, and
smiled at her suddenly beaming face.
"You'll not forget?" he said again,
as they started off.
Nor forgive, / promise YOU" she
smiled back, waving her hand. And
the phaeton whirled away down the

The Mathematics Man murmured,
"Das ewigweibliche," as he walked
back to the apple tree and flung him

thought of Goethe. Zone soweth and

He watched the phaeton until it was
lost to view, and then turned his gaze
toward the sunset, where the flaming
colors of few moments ago were

eyes were fixed with the vacant stare
Of deep meditation.
Presently he dragged a thin, brown
notebook from his pocket, with
"Theory of Differential Equations

settled himself to read. Could Mar

A CLINT OF GOLD.

Unmindful of the wintry cold.
The snOwdrOps peep above the mould
And show an inner CLINT Of gold
To eyes that care to see.
The violets sleep till winds of March
Have swept the clouds from heavens blue

Tho thrush viii sing upon the larch
Before they smile at me.
But these fair children of the snow

With all their silver bells allow
Swing lightly DER the rhine.
Hush. though the world looks dark and

II only needs a listening ear
TO catch the music-fant yet clear
OF their prophetic chime;
which says. Though gloom the earth
enshrouds,
And fierce winds drive the heavy clouds
And seagulls landward ny IN crowds
on tempest-beaten wing,
The sky will not be always gray;
But you. please God shall wake some day
To feel the sun again. and say
with laughing lips 'Tis Spring"

SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR.

No Dandru6.

Any man or woman who wants soft
glossy hair must be free of dandruif which
causes falling hair. Since it has become
known that dandruff is a germ disease, the
old hair preparations that were mostly scalp
irritants, have been abandoned, and the
public, BARRIERS and doctors included have
taken to using Newbro's Herpicide, the only
hair preparation that kills the dandruff
germ. f. Dodd, Dickinson, n. D., says:
''He-picide not only cleanses the scalp from
dandluff and prevents the hairs falling out,
but promotes a new growth. Herpicids

Throws Away Diamonds.

In a fit Of abstraction John Davis,
member of firm of diamond mer-
chants, while walking down Vittoria
street on a recent morning pulled an old
envelope out of his pocket and com
menced to tear it up. When he reached
the last section the terrible fact dawned
on him that it was the envelope in
which were some 1000 small diamonds,
valued at $500, and that he had been
sowing these broadcast over public
thOroughfare.
The news spread with lightning like
rapidity. Shopkeepers locked up and
came to the more lucrative occupation
of picking up diamonds, while for a
mile around an errand boy at his ordin-
airy work was a phenomenon. Such a
scraping of the street with knives and
sticks had never been seen. AS it hap
pened most of the loose stones went

them with a piece of soap attached
to a stick and reeled in three prizes at

hard at work. From noon to o'clock

An Aotire Reng1onisr.

To select party of friends Arch
bishop Temple related some amusing
"reminiscences of his school experiences
at Blundelrs, when in Tiverton the
other day. He went over the school
buildings, which are now parceled out
into residences, shut in by a high boun-
Diary wall. Standing on the triangular
turf in front of the buildings, the Arch-
bishop explained that this was the
''ironing box of his day, the scene OF
all school fights. Speaking of his nrst
fight, DR.. Temple mentioned with EVIL
dent pleasure, that though the assall-
ant was six inches or more taller than
himself he beat him and compelled him
to run away. HE was not a good boy,
1 am sorry to say" observed the Arch
bishop, 'and, to tell the truth, he was
also bit of a coward. He hit out at
me, but I continued TO dodge him.. and
then my turn came. The end of it'was
that he turned tail and ran away, with
me after him, shouting as he went,
Take him off," The Archbishop
frankly confessed that he was not al
ways successful on that triangular spot.

Little Willie is a bright boy and a
saucy boy. His apt answers have often
turned away wrath and often turned it
upon him strongly. The other day his
father was reprimanding him for some
misdeed and Willy was answering very
saucily.
The father became very angry, and
seizingthe yOungster by the collar, said:
''See here, young man, you mustn't
talk like that to me. l never gave my
father impotence when 1 was a boy"
Willy was not phazed at all. With a
cherubic smile. he looked into papa
eyes and said: But, papa, maybe your
father didn't need it." Twas all off.
Willy escaped punishment, while papa
retired to another room.-Albany Jour

Tradition says woman must suf-

There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.

daughters to a physician for examina-

ABE LINCOLN IN HIS HOME.
One of His First Servants Tells Some
Nice Things About Him.

One of His First Servants Tells Some
Nice Things About Him.
In a modest Chicago cottage lives Mrs.
Mary Gaughan, a washerwoman, who is
proud of the fact that she was a domestic
in the Lincoln household while the martyr
President was yet a struggling lawyer
at Springfield. Mrs. Gaughan tells some
interesting things about Lincoln's home
life.
Mr.. Lincoln was very regular in his
habits" she says. HE was great read
er and would be generally found at home
nights with his books and papers. He
used to like music, too, and was very fond
of listening to his wife while she played
the piano. The family was popular with
all classes of people. When the Cath
olics were trying to raise funds to build
their church at Springfield, Mrs. Lincoln
baked a cake which brought 50 at
church fair. She was famous cook, and
would prefer to prepare her own pastry
rather than patronize the bakeries.
"Mr. Lincoln was kind to everybody.
Just the winter after his election TO the
Presidency and before his inauguration
he used to keep COW. In the extremely
cold weather he used to insist on milking
the animal himself, because he did not
think ought to expose myself. His
wife, however, used to object to his doing
the milking. She was good woman, too
"a smarter woman than he was man.
She would often help me wash, iron or
bake, so that l could get off and play with
little Tad. He used to love to play blind
mans buff, and Mr.. Lincoln often shared
in the game. We used to tie handker-
chief around his eyes. Many time while
he was playing blind man he would tum-
BILE over a chair in order to give Tad an
opportunity to escape capture.
when Mr.. Lincoln went to Washing
ton he used to write back to Mrs. DR..
Todd, his wife's sister, for whom l was
working, that since he had been at the
capital he was not able to have his laun-
dry work done as neatly as Mary used to
do it, and the cook at the White House
was far different from Mary, and he did
not enjoy the latter's dinners as much as
the famous meals that Mary used to pre-
pare"

Lincoln's Care in the Use of Words

LincOln'S Care in the Use of Words
In the opinion of the judges and prac-
titioners with whom Lincoln was asso-
ciated during his quarter of a century
at the bar, his most prominent character
istic was his rare faculty for detecting
and disclosing the controlling point in a
legal battle. But not less than this was
his clear, full orderly and accurate state
ment of a case; always so fair and logical
that it was often said that after Lincoln
had summed up the important facts in
controversy there was but little occasion
for argument on either side He habit
ually employed at the bar the same care
and skill in the use of words and the ex-
preston of ideas which he so often after
ward exhibited when called to higher
field of labor; instances of which are seen
in all his state papers, and in the changes
for the better which he made in the writ
ings of his scholarly Secretary of State.
particularly in the correspondence rela-
tive to the Trent affair, which probably
avoided a war with England. A fine ex-
ample of the grandeur of his diction is
to be found in his Gettysburg address.
which has permanent place in the liter
allure of the wOrld.-James L. King, in
North American Review.
