When extravaganza carries ray of
sunshine into an aching heart.
When Wisdom's whispers force
thoughts of the unknown hereafter.
When common sense fills the void
made by the absence of education.
When the heart turns against even
the luxuries of life.
When words spoken in a merry
mood strike the chord of affection.
When life's burdens are borne with
a sense of cheerfulness.
When imagination leads astray even

When too much thinking brings the
blush to the face with feeling akin to
shame.
When self accusations stand as a
mark of honor.
When company manners are only
hollow mockery.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

More than ever as the warm wealth
er approaches is it necessary to find
ways and means for keeping the acces-
sories of ones wardrobe in good order
hygienicly and fresh and clean to the
eye.
The approaching season might he
said, from this standpoint, to be one
of soap and water, gasoline, sun and
air, more than any other. Certain it
is that We have to pay more attention
to those aids to neatness than during
the past cold months. The work OF
the laundress will now have to be sup
plemented by number of small but
important niceties, performed by our
selves, except, indeed, by those who
have demands for the purpose.
To begin with, that important and
hard-used article of apparel-shoes.
In warm weather one needs double the
number Of shoes required in winter.
When taken off in warm weather
shoes, if laced, should be unlaced all
the way down and the tops turned
over as far as possible. Then the
shoes should be given an outdoor air.
ing-perhaps upon a not-too-conspicu-
GUS window sill-before they are put
away.
The waists OF ones dresses should
also be turned inside out to the air and
sun upon being taken off, and in no
case put away until they are perfectly
fresh and dry. Dress shields are
much better placed in dresses this
time of the year by means Of the
smallest sized safety pins. This mode
of fastening is permissible even in the
thinnest dresses and shirtwaists, and
makes the placing of fresh pair Of
shields matter Of but a moment
The "suede finish" linen gloves
have become such a general purchase
by women this time of the year that
their convenience in the matter of
winter wear is known to almost every
one. The gloves of regular shades,
such as gray, brown, white and black,
wash as easily and we'll as linen
handkerchief. Nor is the fit of them
impaired by washing. When taken
from the rinsing water, if they are
stripped at length and the fingers
pulled lensthwise before the glove is
pinned up by the wrist hem to dry, it
will be all right. These washable
gloves are, indeed, a boon to women.
Neck ribbons and stock, especially
white ones, must be constant object
of careful attention. Wash ribbons
will, of course, be easily taken care of
with soap and water in the care of
finer ribbons gasoline is perhaps the
best resort for cleanliness. To be
soaked and rubbed in it and carefully
aired afterwards will keep them wear
able for long time. The gasoline
should not, of course, be used near
light or fire.

FRIEND AFTER FRIEND DE.
PARTS.

Friend after friend departs.
Who hath not .ost q friend?
There Is no union here OF hearts
That finds not here An end;
Were this frail world our only rest,
Living or dying, none were tlest.
Beyond the fight Of time,
Beyond this vale Of death,
There surely is some blessed cline
Where life is not q breath,
Nor life's affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward to expire.
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
whole eternity OF love.
Formd for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away,
As morning high and higher shines,
TO pure and peri ct day;
Nor SINK those stars In empty night;
They hide themselves in heavens own light.

Sheriff Slackhaus told tonight the details
of a confession made by James Steinman,
convicted burglar, that he was impli-

OF Czolgosz, the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, and bound the handkerchief about
the murderer's hand in his preparation for

BERLIN, March 25.-The Department Of
Agriculture has gathered through German
consuls and special agents samples of a
variety OF European meat products.
From analysis it has been shown that
these meats show a general use OF borax
and that some sausages contain borax in
large quantities. A correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeitung afirms that chemicals
are much more largely used in the preserv-
alton OF meats in Germany than in the
United States, because the system of cold
storage used in the latter country is little
in vogue here.

dies TO the United States intend to make
desperate effort to induce Queen Alex

sia. daughters OF the king OF Denmark, to
intervene and prevent the ratification OF
the treaty by the LAndsthing.
The dowager empress and the queen, both
OF whom are reported to be opposed to the
sale, are expected here in a day or two.
The opinion in we'll informed circles is that
any such Intervention. even could It be set
in motion. would prove ineffective. Conn.,
dence is felt that the Landsthing will ulti-
mately ratify the treaty, though it may
insert a plebiscite clause. The Landsthins
at a secret meeting today arrived at no
conclusion and proposed postponement OF
the discussion OF the bill until April 8.
