WRITTEN FOR THE BEE BY MRS I. N.
 SHARPE, NEW MLFoRD.] The graveyard mounds are sl white, All white and covered with snow; The clinging green vines are lost to sight, They perished in autumn's late glow. The songs of the birds clear throated and sweet Have migrated to regions away, But no noise can arouse, no danger can meet
 Under the white beds on the clay. No more shall the inmates know sor- row,
 And bangs the most bitter shall cease, For eternal to-day and tomorrow They shall know the same peace. Dear tones that we loved SO of old, Now wrapped in the silence of night, To dream no more of hearts grown cold Earth's discord and wearisome strife. Out of the dust into marvellous light; The pure in heart the God shall see; The incarnation of His light, The inmates here shall be.

Mrs John Fenn has been visiting at Charles Fenn's for the past week.
 The roads in town are mostly opened but it would be extremely difficult in some places for teams to pass each other. High walls of snow on either side of narrow roadway allow fo1 only one team at time. The Wood. bury roads are not opened and the travel is quite hard. It is said that in Woodbury they voted not to shovel snow at the expense of the town. II this statement is true, the roads will probably remain in a dangerous con- dition until nature herself restores them to their normal state.

SMALL POINTS OF
 SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

The primary object of all social gath erinKs, from afternoons at home to large and formal dinner parties, Is to give pleasure The hostess on such oc- casions certainly is moved by the desire to give pleasure to her guests. The guests on their part should meet her halfway and help her.
 We should attend social functions with the chief object of affording sat- isfaction to others. It is true that some men and women who have out lived romance and generous social i'm pulses go to parties, especially dinner parties, to feed, but these are only to be mentioned as an awful example of what not to do.
 Let us say a lady has regular after moons at home. She sends cards to those whom she wishes to be present. These may drop in informally on any of the reception afternoons during the season. It is not absolutely necessary
 to acknowledge by a note the receipt of "at home cards, though 1t Is a graceful and thoughtful act to do so, lcourteously thanking the hostess for Iher remembrance of one. Ladies pune tilious in all matters make 1t a rule to answer every invitation.
 Certain 1t Is that every invitation where refreshments are to be served should be answered promptly. This is 80 that the hostess may know how many guests she is to provide for. If a formal dinner or a large evening party. with supper, is to be given the response must be immediate. either ac- lcepting or declining. II is unpardon-
 able to put off answering an invitation
 to such function till day or two before 1t comes of.
 Again. still considering that the main object of a social gathering Is to give rather than to receive pleasure. every guest should expect to contribute some

Why Dan Stayed at Work.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Kavanagh tells it himself and says every word of 1t Is true. Kavanagh ought to know; he was superintendent of the works.
 Dan Mahoney (accent on the first syllable. unless you wish to excite the wrath of every true Mahoney)-Dan set his pick against a rock and walked over to the foreman.
 "Misther Brady" saId he, 'T do be thinking I ought to go home for a few minutes. The woman wasn't very we'll when left this morning"
 Go on home. Dan," said the rorw- man. "and stay there as long as the woman needs you"
 an hour or so he was back at the works, his face beaming with joy.
 Its a fine boy I have, Misther Brady" he said to the foreman.
 It was Dams first. and his elation was not surprising.
 In about half an hour, however, the smile came off, and a look of anxiety took it's place as he approached the foreman again.
 'Misther Brady" said he. could I jisht run over home and see how the woman is getting along? I'll be back soon."
 Sure" said Brady. Go on wid ye. and stay as long as ye like"
 Dan was gone only a little while. When he returned the smile had come back to his face.
 "How's the woman?" the foreman asked, sympathetically. She do be getting on fine. MistheT Brady, and we have another boy"
 Twins, is 1t? Good for you, Dan." Once more Mahoney took up his pick. but as he pecked away at the hard earth his thoughts were with the wife and little ones overr wonder in the shanty.
 'It's no use. Misther Brady" he finaI- ly said. i've got to go home ag'in and see how everything is."
 Sure. Dan! Go long," said the foreA man once more. This time Mahoney was gone only a few minutes. When he came back his face was a picture of amusement. He didn't know whether to be supremely | happy or miserable. Be Kob, Misther Brady he panted, | i've have another boy at home" 1 Whats that?" exclaimed the fore man. Another? Tree O theml Look here, Dan Mahoney, you Jusht take up your pick there and git to work. BegoPra, every time you ga home you have another boy. This thing has got to stop somewhere, and l I might as well stop it right here" !.

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot. of course, be successfully disputed. but 1t can be minimized or entirely overcome fin some cases by correct food and drink. A Connecticut lady says;
 For years while was a coffee drink CT I suffered from bilious attacks of great severity, from which l used ro weak. Our family physician gave me various prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimulating the livers which I tried faithfully, but without perceptible result. He was acquainted with my family history for several gem erations back, and once when visited him he said. If you have inherited one of those torpid livers you may always suffer niore or less from Its action. We can't dodge our inheritance, you know.
 T was not so strong a believer n heredity as he was. however. and. be- ginning to think for myself, conclud- ed to stop drinking coffee, and see what effect that would have. feared tt would be a severe trial to give it up. but when took Postum and had 1t we'll made, it completely filled my need for of it. .. .

same experience as Mrs. Winnifred Power, an artist. who. in a recent let ter from 246 7th St.. Portland. Ore. says:
 "I am pleased to speak a good word for Peruna, as | found 1t an excellent tonic and spring medicine and very ef- fective in riddins the system of cola and catarrh.
 About two years ago my system was all run down in the spring and I thought would try and see if Peruna would be of any assistance in bring ing back my health and strength. T found that it was splendid and all the medicine that needed. In little over a month I was we'll and did not need to take any more medicine. T shall recommend it to every one in need of tonic. and know that I have only to take a few doses of Pe- runa when I take a cold and I will soon be over it."-- -winnifred Power.

 vated social gift. If we are not called on to exploit 1t. well and good. It does not matter. We have it ready.
 Nothing equals good music for enter taining. Persons who can sing well or play skillfully on a musical instru- ment should thank their stars. They are always in demand. Then there are recltations and stories. Those on the comic order are specially in demand. Let us always make this sad world laugh when we can. Many books are tations and anecdotes adapted to social occasions. Almost anybody can be- come proficient in humorous recitation, and the clever raconteur can always add out of her own head Imaginable little touches suited to the special oc- casion. Besides the music and recita- tions, witty artists sometimes amuse the guests at reception by humorous lightning chalk drawings. To be a good dancer Is also to possess social qualifications well worthy of consid- eration.
 The brilliant talker is as rare as even the skilled musician or reciter. To talk well one should have a fund of general knowledge and that fine sixth sense which enables her to per ceive just what portion of her knowl- edge will best suit those whom she wishes to please. This sixth sense will come as by magic to all who cultivate kindly sympathy with every living creature. The road to hearts is the broad. sunny one of good will and helpfulness toward them. All feel 1t instinctively and instinctively respond.

 Word of Advice.
 To those who have been afflicted with chronic catarrh we wish to say that the spring season affords you splen- did opportunity to get rid of your dis ease
 1t may be you have been afflicted for several years; you may have tried dif- ferent remedies. Perhaps you have bo- come discouraged.
 Now Is Your Opportunity. This failure was during the winter months. But now is your opportunity. Nature comes to your assistance at this season.
 Just help her a little and she will bring you out of the auagmire in which you have been laundering so long. Give Nature a little assistance lest her struggles be in vain.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disipfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleans Ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe catharfic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; Ii disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 form or another. but probably the best charcoal ana the most for the money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex. ion, sweeter breath and pureH blood and the beauty of 1t is. that no possi- bIe harm can result from their contfn. ued use. but on the contrary. great benefit.

 Chester A. Pond. e

s
 Pensacola, Fla. March 25.--(special.) ) Radical changes were made at the meeting of the State Executive Com mtttee in the primary election laws at the meeting which has just been held the recommendations of which have reached here. The changes are recom- mended for the purpose of strength ening the law and politicians who are In favor of the laws in this place seem to look upon them with great deal Sf favor.
 Some of the changes have been needed long time. and there Is a full agreement on this point. U N. C.. Stockton. who was not a member of the committee, but who held a proxy, was present and introduced most of l1e changes. Some of them have been gladly welcomed. One in particular Is the prohibition of the soliciting of funds for anything whatever of can didates. Heretofore it has been a evil of the primary to have lists for about every conceivable thing under the sun circulated among the candidates. Most of these lists took on the form of charitable objects, but late investi- gation revealed the facts that person. al enrichment in many cases were in- tended. Another recommendation is that poll taxes shall not be paid ex- cept by the voter himself, and this is said to be one of athe best proposi- tions offered. Heretofore 1t has been the custom for campaign managers to take lists of scores of voters to the office of the tax collector and pay what was due from them, having them all marked paid and thus qualifying them for casting the ballot. This evil has been preached against loud and long, and the relief intended by the recom- mendation Is a welcome one
 These recommendations of the com mittee will be incorporated into bill which will be presented to the next session of the legislature, and the re- lief so long apparent will be forth coming. quickly it Is thought.
