EIe came among us one bleak, winter day,
when hands and hearts alike were cold

An aimless way, for aught we could dis

To bring his welcome with him In his

We caught tn reflex of tn repellent air.
And only wish'd to bow him from the

But one, whose gentle heart the inward
fires
OF grief and pain had purg'd and purified,
Spoke bravely out rebuking our desires,
And this was what our Heav n-taught
teacher said:
@oh, treat him kindly; He's some moth

Who holds her hands around him, while
she may;
And, when his willfu feet go wand'ring on,
She bows her head to weep, perchance to
pray.

TALENTED HELEN HAY.
Elder Daughter of Our Secretary of
State Will Soon Publish n New
Volume OF Verse.

Literary critics Of Washington say
that John Hays daughter" will be-
come one of the successful poets of
America. 1t is about three years
ago that Miss Helen Hay published
her first efforts in verses, and, inde-
pendent of the fact that the writer
was a daughter of the secretary of
state, the book commanded immedi-
ate attention. Miss Hay called that
initial effort "Some Verses" and she
has since revised it for three edi-
tions. Last autumn she published a
dainty little collection of child
rhymes, THE Little Boy Book" and
this also was favorably received.
For the last year Miss Hay has
been diligently working on the most
ambitious work she has yet at
tempted, and in few weeks this
will be given to the public. 1t is en-
titled: "The Rose of Dawn" and is
love story of the south seas told
in blank verse. Throughout the book
there are snatches of lyric poetry,
love songs and ballads of the peo-
pie, and in these Miss Hays peculiar
talent is wildly displayed. That emf
nent writer of the south seas and
well-known literary critic, Charles
Warren Stoddard, is enthusiastic over
"The Rose of Dawn" and predicts
q brilliant future for Miss Hay as a
writer of lyric verse.
This talented young woman is one
of the popular bellies of the capital.
She is feted and admired from the
beginning to the end of the sea-
son, and few social events may be
called successful when not graced
by her presence, yet she finds time
TO write some of the most exquisite
verse ever published. She takes a
few hours in the morning, and just
before dressing for dinner is ia
vorite time for her muse. She jots
down then the thoughts that come
during the hours of gayety, and later
they are woven in dainty numbers.
Miss Hays verse, like that of most
young writers, is inclined to sadness
the poetry of tears. In love songs
and sonnets she is particularly adept.
She naively says that she does not
write from experience, since she has
never felt the darts of the little rosy

PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS.
Why n Womnn's Size Appears to Vary
According to the Color of
Her Gowns.

That the color of woman's dress
can make her look larger or smaller
is fact that many professional dress
makers now take into consideration.
Dressed in black and dark hues,
stout women look smaller both in the
street and when out walking; and by
use of the same hues, the dimensions
of small people are so decreased that
they appear like dwarfs.
The optical effect of white and light
colors is to enlarge all objects, and
make the stout woman who wears
them almost mountainous in her ap-
pearance. She need not, however,
look dingy and dull, for the rich, dark
hues offered to her for selection are
varied and numberless. Greens and
blues, in their various shades, are bet
ter than reds, giving an effect of re.
pose and distance.
All light-colored materials should
be avoided for the waist. During the
awkward age of girls, between the age
of IL and IA, dark blue or plain red
cashmere or serge is found to be pro-
ductive of the best results.
In choosing colors for dresses, the
complexion must, of course, be taken
into account. Those with sallow, dark
faces should select clear tints, and
scrupulously avoid glaring bright and
decided hues. Those who possess
clear skins and pale faces may wear all
| shades of rose, primrose, buff, light
green, lilac, brown and violet.
H. IL A..
that subdue color and give the effect of
distance, such as blue and green. The
most lucky of all girls are those with
fair compilations and a color. To
them, few shades will be unbecoming.
Those with pale compilations should
wear only fresh colors such as cherry
and pink.
Color in dress not only exerts an in
fuence over the beauty of the wear
er, but also over her health. Dark
colors are found to absorb and give
out smells of all kinds to far greater
extent than the light, and it is for
this reason that professional nurses
are not allowed to wear black dresses.
| 1t is said that for nurses black cotton
is bad, black wool worse and black
silk the most injurious of all. Some
doctors refrain from wearing black
clothes when visiting patients for the
same reason.
The warmth and comfort of the body
are also affected by the color of the
clothes which cover it, white and
light-colored fabrics rejecting the
heat and black and dark ones absorb
ing it. Black, however, throws heat
off sooner, and white clothing retains
the natural heat of the body longer
than black.-N. Y. Journal

good many families whose income would
be $6 more, and still more families whose
income would be many times Sc less If it
were not spent. 1t is also rather a taking
thing to say that $1OO.OOO,OOO could be bet
ter spent for education or charity. And
yet, on the other hand, $1OO 600 spent
in the employment of labor is the very
best use to which it could be put.
Tax Returns to the People.
1.-The great question of the day as to
wealth is its distribution. While few
would say that the community should be
taxed for the sole purpose of distributing
the proceeds of taxation. yet it is some
comfort to know of tax which, when it
is laid on the community, all returns
again to it. If $1OO, 100000 should be appro-
priated for the navy by the present Con-
gress small part will go for the pur-
chase of raw material and something for
salaries, but the great bulk Of it for labor
in every part of the Union.
Somehow it just now happens that
with larger revenues than we have ever
had before in time of peace, and there
fore with more direct and indirect taxa
ton, there is more prosperity and more
money in the pocket of the citizen than
ever before. Students may speculate over
the economic causes, but this is the
'demnition total
Undoubtedly Uncle Sam ought to re-
duce taxation wherever he can. On the
other hand, it is shrewd and wise in him
to run things so as to keep business good,
and if as a result his income is large he
it than he would by hiding it. Whenever
the interests Of the country require he
should reduce his receipts, but as they
are now excessive, the great question
seems to be how he shall get the proceeds
back among the people. But if this year,
having a surplus, he spends 500, 200 for
the navy, let US remember that while it
is spent under that name it is really
spent, as 1 said before, in the employ
ment of the peoples labor and in the pur-
chase of the material they have to sell,
and the people get rather more out of it
than the navy does, for they get it all
back again.
'Nor is it true, as suggested in the cir
cular. that a great navy necessarily in
flames the fighting spirit and leads to
war. If my recollection serves me right,
while Great Britain has had troubles In
Egypt and Africa and elsewhere, she has
had no conflict on sea for many years,
and yet her navy has been twice as large
as that of any other power. The recent
increase in our navy did not induce the
war with Spain which seems to have
been inevitable. On the other hand, it Is
more than likely that if in the begin
ming of 1898 we had even as Iar1a va17v
as we have now, certainly as large a one
as now proposed. there would have been
no war with Spain and that country would
have come to terms. as she was very near
coming without battle. At that time, how

foreign powers, and probably in Spain,
that her navy would blow Us out of the
water.
I'm determining the question what shall
be the size Of our navy there are a great
many things to be considered. some Of
which I have referred to.
''For instance, our world relations have
expanded vastly in the last three years in
territorial extent, and vastly more in in
ternational extent. 1t has not been an
expansion upon the continent, but upon
the ocean itself and the islands Of the sea
in both hemispheres. Our commerce has
greatly increased in volume and area and
our American marine Is likely to follow
suit AS on land, so on ocean, as you ex-
tend your commerce so you must expand
your police force If there Is to be a navy
at all it should be commensurate with all
these extended relations and demands.
