If it is indeed true, as the French writer
says, that one needs handkerchiefs for the
mornings, handkerchiefs to walk with,
handkerchiefs to go to church with, hand
kerchiefs to lose and give away, hand
kerchiefs for washerwomen-and for lovers
to steal, and, he might have added, hand
kerchiews to leave behind TO furnish a clew
to the mystery; handkerchiefs for Othel-

handkerchief was counted as an amulet,
and among the Moors as love token. Gre

Juevnal. With Elizabeth of England the
handkerchief, like all articles of the toiles,

med with lace and decked with embroidery.
Tiny squares of finest lawn, finely wrought,
edged with gold lace and folded neatly,
were made purposely for love tokens and
were given by court ladies to their lovers
who wore the dainty tokens in their hats.
Now the handkerchief is thing of senti-
ment, from which one may read a little of
my lady's character, for the dainty woman

paper handkerchief is that affected by my
lady of chrysanthemum land. 1t is tucked
into her sash or obi and used If necessary

nifty of dramatic disclosure. Marta of the
Lowlands," the staging of which she di-
rected, although she doesn't act in it, is a
fine English presentation of Spanish play
by Angel Guimera-a hOmely tragedy among
peasants, and it balances evenly between
intellectual appreciation by the few and
popular potency with the many. A goat
herd of the mountain marries a beggar girl
of the lowland and afterward learns that
she is the discarded victim of lustful land

kills him and fees with the wife to the

climax. If ever you translate foreign fiction
into English, and come across characters
who speak their native tongue with provin-

THE NAMES OF DISEASES.
BY Knowing the Right Names Trouble
Is Somtfmes Saved.

Youths Companion.
One Of the first essentials in the study of
any science is a definite nomenclature--the
fixing Of one name to one thing-for without
that there can be no common ground of
discussion, and the words OF a writer may
convey wrong impression and give rise
TO erroneous ideas. the opposite, perhaps,
OF what was intended.
Unfortunately definiteness in names is
consqicuously lacking in medical science,
and not only in the popular names of dis
eases, but even in the terms employed By
physicians themselves. The confusion of
speech is particularly unfortunate in medi-
cine. for 1t may be the occasion of very
serious errors. For example. a, mother
hears that a neighbor's child has MEM
branous sore throat. That seems a simple
little thing. and she takes no care to keep
her own child away from the neighbours
house. The neighbors themselves are not
alarmed, but even let the little visitor into
the sickroom- If the doctor had not en-
pioyed a euphemism, but had called the
''membraneous sore throat diphtheria.
every one would have known the gravity
OF the case and other children would not
have been needlessly exposed.
Much Misunderstanding results from the
means resembling typhus. and so the term
was attached to fever some OF the
symptoms of which resemble those of ty-
plus fever. But 1t is applied also in the
form OF an adjective to other conditions
and diseases. Thus the typhoid state" is
condition OF extreme weakness with tenn
porary mental clouding, such as one sees
In the third or fourth week of a severe
typhoid fever. In the same way the term
typhoid pneumonia is sometimes employed
TO designate a pneumonia in which the
patient Is overcome by the poison of the
disease. and has fallen into the typhoid
state; but IT does not imply mixture OF
typhoid FEVER and pneumonia, as is popu-
larry believed.
Inflammation of the lungs and lung fever
are popular expressions meaning pneu-
monia. but the term pneumonia itself is an
piled to several entirely distinct diseases of
the lungs.
Scarlatina is another name for scarlet
fever and IL does not signify mild form OF
the disease. Var.Oloid also is real small
pox only in mild form; and varioloid pa
tient may give smallpox I'm most yirulent
form to an unprotected person.
All this goes TO show that diseases like
other things, should be called by their right
names.

Repose upon her soulless face,
Dig the grave and leave her;
But breathe a prayer that in His grace,
He who so loved this toiling race
To endless rest receive her.
Oh can il be the gates ajar
Wait not her humble quest.
Whose life was but a patient war
Against the death that stalked from far,
With neither haste nor rest;
To whom were sun and moon and cloud,
The streamets pebbly coil.
The transient, May-bound, feathered crowd,
The storms frank fury, thunder proved,
But witness of her toll;
Whose weary feet knew not the bliss
OF dance by jocund reed;
Who never dallied at kiss?
If heaven refuses her, life is
A tragedy, indeed,
