THOUGH THEY FORGET,

Our husbands. ever brave and strong,
Our lover-husban6s, leal and true,
Who stalwart stand 'twixt US and wrong,
Nor reck the cost of what they do
For us they love-who love them-yet
They will forget, they viii forget.
Not plighted troth, nor lovers word
Not tender phrase. nor deed most kind,
Not duty's voice, though scarce it's heard,
{ Not faith to US they leave behind.
But oft by business cares beset 80
The things we sent for they forget. +
Outlines to urgent last requests
They give no heed from morn to noon.
And oft they bring unbi0den guests
At times the most inopportune:
The things on which our hearts are set
Are oft the things that they forget
The anniversaries year by year
OF wedding days unheeded go
Those days We hold most sacred, dear;
Yet in our heart of hearts We know
That spite Of all they may forget.
They love US yet they love US yet
And tho oft to our grief we find
Our letters pocketed, unsent,
Tho to our cherished projects blind
They wound US most where least tits
meant,
Yea, tho our birthdays they forget,
We love them Yet, We love them yet

NEW DISEASE FROM FUR,
Irritating Poison Which Produces an
Itching of the Skin Coming in
Contact with the Fur.

1t will doubtless be surprise to the
followers of the fashionable furore
for furs to learn that there is a new dis
ease called sableorus martenus furi-
bus, which would itch as much by any
other name, says the Chicago Tribune.
The disease is respecter of persons
in that it does not attack owners of
$4,000 sable .cloaks or $4,000 broad
cloth coats, such as some Chicago So
ciety women have indulged in this
winter on account of the high price of
coal. On the contrary, it's depreda-
tions seem to be for the most part up
on handlers of the cheaper grades of
dyed furs, who try them on in exhib-
iting them to customers, although it
sometimes attacks purchasers of cer-
tain variety.
In talking with the forewoman in
this department of department. store
who has been under the care of ply
sician for several days for severe at
tack of the malady she advanced
theory for one cause for the disease.
Showing long boas of the sable mar
ten profusely trimmed with the manu-
factured tails SO modish this winter,
she explained that these tails, instead
of having the edges sewed together,
as was formerly the custom before so
many were used, are merely pressed in,
to shape and the cavity filled with a
powder resembling the ordinary insect
powder. This may contain the irri-
tant poison which causes the trouble,
or it may lurk in some dye used for
the sable marten fur.
Be this as it may. those who try on
the furs get it in the neck. When an
abrasion occurs, as it frequently does
from the frayed edge of collar, red
ness appears, which might be called
fur rash, spreading over the face and
contiguous parts, resembling in some
particulars the more common skin dis
eases.
The well known physician to whom
this woman took her case refused to
do anything for her unless she would
Immediately leave the department.
mother saleswoman in the same de-
partment has suffered for some
months from the same cause, and mod
els in the other large department
stores have had the same trouble. A
customer returned set of this fur,
threatening to sue the firm unless res
titutiou should be made.
This new fur disease is due to an ir-
ritant poison. Simple treatment, as
rest from the exciting cause, cool
water applied on congresses, anoint-
ing with unquentine or some pure cold
cream, and applying absorbent cotton
will usually afford relief. In the se-
verer forms the strictest antiseptic
precautions are necessary.
The Importance of making correct
diagnosis in all cases of skin disease
cannot be overestimated.

THE LATEST CRUSADERS.
How the Doukhobors Plodded to the
East In search of the
New Light.

While the women were being cared
for. the men pilgrims of the Doukho-
bors-some 600 in number-had start
ed on their "walk to Jesus Early in
the morning they paraded Yorkton,
singing their dirge-like hymns, says
writer on .'The Doukhobors," in
Leslie's Monthly.
For ten days. the seekers for the new
light plodded to the east. Neither
hungernor exposure could daunt their
determination. Thirty returned to
their villages at various points in their
journey, but SO others came from dis
tant points to take their places. At
Millwood, three days after leaving
Iorkton, they expected the Saviour to
reveal Himself, and when He failed to
appear they were confident they would
meet Him in Winnipeg. The strain Of
long-continued religious excitement,
combined with insufficient nourish.
ment, made many of them subject to
hallucination. John the Baptist"
the leader. would frequently cry aloud
and leap and clutch at the air. II see
Him. he would scream in an agony.
II see Jesus, my brothers. He is here.
You will see Him soon." At every such
outbreak paroxysm OF emotion
would sweep like wave down the long
procession. Three or four were so
weakened that they had to be carried
On litters. And at last, discouraged
and exhausted, they were forced into
trains by the police at Minnedosa and
taken home.

GLOVE COUNTER PALMISTRY.
Reading of Characters by a Young
Woman Who Presides at One
I'm q New York store.

''Do l believe in palmistry," repeat
ed the glove-store salesgirl, according
to the New York Sun. II don't know
much about it. But just let customer
hold out her hand to be fitted and
can read her main traits of character
without ever noticing her face.
..The woman who extends her hand
with the thumb shut in under the An
gers is apt to want the best gloves in
stock at the cheapest price, and is like
ly to find some flaw or misfit in the
glove after it is on that no one else can
see. Reasonable people, with deter
mination of character, unconsciously
shut the thumb over the fingers when
the hand is folded in repose.
IF a girl put out her hand to be
measured and the fingers bend back
ward little and are not overtapering
at the ends know that she has a sweet.
sunny disposition and is considerate
of others.
customers with fingers M ore square
than tapering are sure to thank you
for your services after you have fitted
them, and will generally make some
comment pleasant to hear. They have
good taste, as rule, and don't select
ultra-fashionable shades and STYLES.
''The woman with fne-tapering
fingers has good taste, too. But she Is
formal and seldom considerate. I
never expect such a one to thank me
for having tried to please her. And
she seldom does, taking it as matter
of course, suppose, that sales per-
sons duty is to please and that she is
paid to do so.
From looking at customers hand
I can tell whether she will want her
gloves to draw on and off easily or try
to wear them so tight that she could
hardly turn door knob, lift her skirts,
or otherwise use her hands with them
on. Fewer women want their street
gloves tight now than used TO be the
case. But a good many still persist
in wearing their evening and full-dress
gloves quarter size smaller than they
should be-"

The local doctor, having obtained a
more lucrative appointment in another
county. employed the sexton to assist
in his removal.
When it came to settling up accounts
the doctor deducted an old contra ac-
count due by the sexton. He wrote at
the same time, objecting to the charge
made for removing his furniture:
IF this was steady, it would pay
much better than gravedigging."
The sexton replied:
