The Well Dressed Woman.

A well dressed woman is first of all
clean-exquisitely clean-and neat and
trim. Indeed, it is the air of purity
and freshness that her personality ex-
hales that makes her charmingly
noticeable among other women. Even
though others may Wear finer and
more costly clothing. she outshines
them, for just as the beauty of a
flower depends on it's freshness, so her
unsullied appearance gives her a de-
lightfully refreshing aspect. With
out the daily bath no woman can be
really clean, and unless the hair and
scalp are kept free from the beauty
destroying effects of dust and dirt her
tresses will fail to be crowning
glory. Clean, white teeth are charm
ing attraction, without which no wom-
an can be beautiful. Hands that are
clean and white, with nails nicely
manicured, bespeak the gentlewoman
whether she be working woman or
not.

AT tho Tomb.

Wonder of the earth and Heaven!
See! The stone is rolled away!
Whence comes all this radiant
splendor
Brighter than the fairest day?
See! Within there sits an angel
Hark! He speaks, with lifted hand:
peace to you, o holy women.
Go, and say to all the land
HE is risen, as He told you,
In the first glad light of day!
Conquering death, He stands immor-
tai,
And will be with you Away"

His Quick Wit.

A clergyman was travelling in a
mining country, and encountered an
old Irishman turning windlass which
hauled up ore out of shaft. 1t was
his work to do this all day long. His
hat was off, and the sun poured down
OH his unprotected head.
Don't you know the sun will injure
your brain if you expose it in that
manner?" asked Father NJ.
The Irishman wiped the sweat off
his forehead, and looked at him.
"Now, Father, dye think I'd be dom
this all day if 1 had any brains?" he
asked, and then gave the handle an
other turn.

The Friend Of Ny Heart.

Commend me to the friend that comes
When l am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering of his own;
Who coldly shuns the glttering throng
At pleasures gay levee,
And comes to gild a somber hour
And give his heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows DER,
And when the task is done
He freely gives me all 1 ask
A sigh for every one
He cannot wear smiling face
When mine is touched with gloom,
But, like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart,
Which, like the pine on high,
Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every change Of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But, like the winters icy crown,
Looks greener through the snow.
He flies not with the fitting stork,
That seeks southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath lain him down to die.
Oh, such friend! He is in truth,
Whate'er his lot may be,
\ rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on it's sea.

The Faithful Wife.

Who is mans truest comrade?
Who shares his every fate?
Who helps to bear the burdens
That him so oft o'ertake?
Who stays and never falters,
When danger turks so near,
When in the battle royal
Life seems so hard to bear?
When in the darkest hour,
BY cruel fate oppressed;
Where did your soul find comfort,
Encouragement and rest?
When friends from you departed,
The world looked cold and chill.
Who was the friend so faithful
That remained there good or ill?
When on life's stormy voyage
Your bark was tempest tossed
And on the surging pillows
Your little craft seemed lost;
When the lightnings' flash and fire
Surrounded keel and mast,
Who stayed with you undaunted,
So bravely to the last?
If death could answer questions,
When in his cold embrace,
He'd tell of loves devotion
That time cannot efface.

Paine'S Celery

GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing 10 overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.

He was also an inveterate and clever

found himself alone with a stranger.

to ask my relative casually II he were
