took a teaspoonful of the poison; that
being an overdose, she laid critically i'll

Last week a fire destroyed the house
and furnishings of Henry Cirwithen,
and the only goods they had left were
the clothes on their backs. The house
was unOccupied at the time, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Cirwithen were away from home.
The flames are supposed to have Origi-
mated from a coal fire in the house. Too
much caution can not be taken by peO-
pie in regard to fixing their coal fires
before leaving the house. A little care
lessnessi in this line may lead to serious
results.

The Wnmen,s Exchange.

o, the long and sweltering summer,
O, the hot and sultry summer,
Ever scarcer, scarcer, scarcer
Grew the cook in every kitchen;
Fled she had and drifted,
Drifted to the cannery and staid there;
While the sorrowinS housewife mourned her.
Sat and mOurned while chil:ren famed her
Till the husband and father,
Clothed in his long linen buster,
Forced his way down through the village
There he found, down by old Mispillion,
Down by the bridge DER the water,
An Exchange that stands in Jumps Block;
An Exchange with doors wide open
Where a saleswaman stood and waited,
Waited for some customer to buy
A cake, or biscuit, or a pie;
or, perhaps, as fancy took him,
A croquette, made Of chicken,
or, better still to quell the strife
Strife that lasted all the summer,
He bethOught him of bread in loaves-
Loaves made full in weight and measure;
or, the baked beans so nice and brown,
Or the cream so nicely frozen;
All of these h. took home with him,
That he might have peace at last;
Peace that comes of good cooking.
Aud the housewife how she gloried,
Gloried in the ExchBnge OF Milford,
The Exchange in Jumps Block by the river
