FEAR MOL


Fear not, the flowers are saying
when they sink beBeath the sncw
For the spring VIII come a-Maying
with he sweetest buos that blow;
The rose shall wear her crimson.
And the violet her blue.
Fear not. for spring Is coming
TO you, dear heart, 10 YOU.
Fear not, the birds are singing.
AS they fly from pole 20 pole,
There are nests that wait their Wingingi
Where the kiudlier seasons roll;
The robin shall be shaming
The bushes Of the dawn,
Aud the dove through his complaining
Find a bough 20 nestle on.
Fear not, the squirrels chatter
As they frisk through forests lone,
When the rain begins 10 palter
To the winds iu monotone;
Though the woodland is f0rsaEen
OF boy and bird and bee.
The silence yet shall wa6en
To summer melody
Fear not ye timid-hearted,
There is no trouble long,
For sorrow once departed
Returns again, a song.
No fears that come TO VeN US,
No evils that befai
Can linger to perplex MS,
Since love is over ALL

Perfumes and the Voice /.

French scientists have been MAX
ing experiments in regard to the eff
feet of certain perfumes upon the
voice. Many Of the most successful
teachers in singing have cautioned
their pupils stringently against the
use Of perfumes or the proximity of
odorous flowers. Some masters go
so far as to forbid their pupils the
use Of any perfumes at all, and if one
of them is detected wearing a bunch
of Violets the lesson is postponed.
The perfume of the violet has been
found by the use Of the laryngoscope
to be particularly injurious.

LOOK BEFORE you EAT.
The Hungry Man Who Got Into High.
Priced Restaurant.

Exceedingly small is restaurant
downtown, says the New York Jour
nal; in fact, from the sidewalk it APP
pears to be a mere pretentious "hOle
in the wall" 1t is fitted up in a
grotesque fashion that is not de-
signed to impress the passer-by with
an idea of elegance or extravaganza.
The hungry man is lured across
the threshold by the appetizing odors
that permeate the atmosphere there
about, by its appearance Of cleanli
ness and originality, and its cloud Of
tobacco smoke, which lend enchant-
ment
The majority Of men who frequent
this place are well-to-do wholesale
dealers in a certain line.
One night last week a young man
with a big appetite and with exactly
SO cents in his pocket entered this
beguiling place. All unconsciously
he walked right into the yawning
mouth of the enemy-straight into
the jaws of death! He was seated
and handed a menu by waiter, who
quickly disappeared
In the interval that followed,
while the attendant brought the
small pieces Of silver, the water and
the bread and butter, the man at the
table stared with unbelieving horror
at the bill of fare in his hand. He
started, held tighter to the menu and
passed his limp hand across his brow,
as he read:
Sirloin steak (single portion). o
Small tenderlOin steak.................. q
Porterhouse steak with mushrooms. %
Thoroughly alive to the despera-
ton Of his situation, he pulled him
self together and proceeded to run
