Glasses Are Not Always Necessary,
Parents are often advised to get

Gourds seem to have been intended
by Mother Nature to be made into
drinking vessels and vessels for other
uses.
In South America they grow so large
that mothers take them for bath tubs
Tor their babies, as we'll as for various
different purposes. The South Ameri-
can Indians, among other things. make
the most beautiful skull caps of them
In the Southern states they are
much used for dippers bowls and mar

MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN.
An Incident Which Goes to Show That
Even In Court Life Etiquette Is
Not Infallible.

The following incident afforded
much amusement to the late Kaiserin
Augusta, and for long afterward used
to be told amid considerable merri.
ment at the Prussian court. A depu.
tation of country folk came up to Der.
lin to lay a petition of some impor-
lance before the king. After the bust
ness part of the day was over his maj
esty graciously asked all the gentle
men to dine with him.
At the dinner one of the guests,
after looking round the room to see il
he was being observed, put a couple
of pockets of bon-bons into his pocket
to take home to his children as a SOU
venir of the royal table. The eagle
eye of the chief master of ceremonies,
Count Stillfried-Alcantara, observed
him, and, after dinner, being fond of a
joke, he walked up to the deputy and
gave him two packets of bon-bons,
with the words: "Pray, give these to
your children"
The queen, who was standing hard
by, overheard the word 'children,"
and, glad of a subject of conversation
with her guests, who were not well
versed in court topics, turned to the
deputy and said: "How many have
you?" The latter, already upset by
Count Stillfried's attentive kindness,
felt completely exposed and unmasked
by the queens question. He fancied
the question referred to the packets
of bon-bons, 20 he replied in a stutter-
ing and hesitating tone: -Four, your
majesty; but only two are mine; the
other two are from Count Stillfried!"
The queen looked Mortified, not know
ing they were all playing at cross
purposes, and Count Stillfried had to
explain to her; then she laughed as
heartily as the count.

LOVE r EATH.

They say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face.
1 cannot tell how 1t might be
In other homes-but this I know:
Could my lost darling come to me,
That she would never find it so.
Outlines the flowers have come and gone,
Outlines the winter winds have blown,
The while her peaceful rest went on,
And l " learned to live alone;
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave, or whether gay,
I hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blest my way,
And friends are round me true n tried
They have their place-but hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
How would I spring with bated breath,
And joy too deep for word or sign,
To take my darling home from death,
And once again to call her mine!
I dare not dream-the blissful dream,
1t fills my heart with wild unrest;
Where yonder cold white marbles CLEAN,
But this I know, that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years-for one sweet

There are funny incidents in the life

I repeated what I had already said.
He asked me to sit while he told me.
"You see, it's like this" he began.

things made up, and we was all but
