The Use of Mustard in the Bath.

The growing use Of mustard in the
bath tub is a modern adaptation of the
principle that mustard is one of the
most valuable external stimufants,
says Black and White. To those who
have not tried it the result is really
surprising.
Take a teaspoonful of best mustard
and add to the bath when filled. The
water will be found to be of slightly
yellow-green color and absolutely free
from any singing of smarting sensa-
ton. In fact, it has a soft, velvety
feeling, almost like milk. but with a
glowing warmth that is appreciated by
the most delicate skin. Under its inf1u-
ence sore and stiff joints become timber
and elastic, and the whole body expert
ences a sense of eXhilaration that is
scarcely credible.
The mustard bath is already favor
lite with those engaged in arduous
sports, and equally so with society la
dies, who find in it a refreshing anti
dote to the fatigue of functions and "a
charming way of keeping in that
healthy condition so conducive to
beauty.

The Exile.

We told her that her far-Off shore was
bleak and dour to view.
And that her sky was dull and mirk
while ours was smiling blue
She only sighed in answer, 1T is even
as We say,
But, oh, the ragged splendor when the
sun bursts through the gray
We brought her dew-wet roses from
our faireSt summer bowers,
We babe her drink their fragrance, we
heaped her lap with flowers
She only said with eyes that .yearned,
"Oh, if We might have brought
The pale, unscented blossoms by my IA
theirs lowly cotF'
We babe her listen to the birds that
sang so madly sweet.
The lyric of the laughing stream that
dimpled at her feet
But OH she cried, II weary for the
music wild that stirs
When keens the mOurnful western wind
among my native first
We told her that she had faithful
friends and loyal hearts anear,
We prayed her take the fresher loves,
we prayed her be of cheer.
ooh, We are kind and true" she wept,
but woes me for the grace
OF tenderness that shines upon my
mothers wrinkled FACET

About Women.

Only fools laugh at the woman who
lavishes her caresses on a canary or
a pug dog. The discerning weep at
the tragedy of a heart so poor that it
has nothing better on which 70 expend
it's love.
Women gauge virtue by emotion.
They always believe in the goodness
of man whose voice trembles when
he prays aloud in the prayer meeting.
and are convinced that the woman
criminal who weeDs when she tells
her story is poor, abused, persecut-
ed creature.
The reason that the statue of justice
is always represented as a female fig
ure with blindfolded eyes is because
women will never see Justice done if
they can help it.
woman likesfo be praised for her
good looks, but the fattary that
sweeps her off her feet is FOR a man
to treat her as if she was 4 creature
with almost human intelligence.
A man never tells a woman the
truth except when he is angry with
her. That is the reason that women
are afraid of the truth sni always
dodge it if they can.-Dorothy Dix, in
New York American.

The OuId Plaid Shawl.

Not far from old Kinvara, in the merry
month of May,
When birds were singing cheerily, there
came across my way,
AS if from out the sky above an angel
CHANGED to fall,
A little Irish Calm in an ould plaid
shawl
She tripped along right joyously, bas-
ket on her arm;
And, oh, her face and oh, her grace,
the soul of saint would charm;
Her brown hair rippled Ger her prov,
but greatest charm of all
Was her modest blue eyes beaning
meath her ould plaid shawl.
| courteOuSly saluted her-"God save
you, miss" says l;
God save you kindly, sir, said she,
and shyly passed me by:
off went my heart along with her, a
captive in her thrall,
Imprisoned in the corner of her ould
plaid shawl.
Enchanted with her beauty rare, 1
gazed in pure delight.
Till round an angle of the road she van
ished from my sight;
buI CNSl olllCt 1, SlSlIlilS, say "N 1''NNS
scene recall,
THE grace of God about you and your
ould plaid shawl
Oh. graceful the mantilas that the
signorinas wear,
And tasteful are the bonnets of Partisan
ladies fair,
But never cloak, or hood, or robe, in
palace, bow'r or hail.
Clad half such witching beauty as that
ould plaid shawl.
Oh, some men sigh for riches, and some
men live for fame,
And some on history's pages hope to
win a glorious name;
My aims are not ambitions, and my
wishes are but small
You might wrap them all together in
an ould plaid shawl.
I'll seek her all through Galway, and
I'll seek her all through Clare,
I'll search for tale or tidings of my
traveller everywhere,
For peace of mind I'll never find until

Applied Anecdotes.

No doubt you boys have all read the
story of the time when Lincoln. walk
ing with friend, met negro. The
negro lifted his hat to the two men.
Lincoln lifted his hat in return to the
negro.
why do you do that" asked Lin
coln't friend of the president.
Because" was the reply II cannot
afford to be less polite than a negro"
Now. can we, boys, whether we're
white or black, afford to be less polite
than a hero?
I'm sure you will remember reading
of Lincoln's gentleness, not only to
mothers who came to plead for pardons
for their soldier boys, but also to little
mothers of the field and forest.
Once he found that in a storm some
little fledglings had been dislodged
from the nest, and the mother bird was
in great distress about it. Lincoln
stopped and very gently put the little
ones back in their home again.
Can we, boys, no matter how much
good muscle we have-and we need all
we can develop-afford to be less gen
tie than a hero?
Lincoln was once a hired man." He
was not afraid to turn his hand at any
thing We do not read of his ever
looking fastidiously around when there
was anything to be done and saying:
That's not my work, let Bill do it,
Can we, boys, afford to be daintier
than hero?
Now, see here, boys, this isn't
preaching. it's just common sense. The
heroes we all admire are the all
around,t. good-hearted, willing, brave
fellows who do the ordinary things so
we'll that they get into the habit of do
ing things we'll; and when the time
comes to do anything great they just
do it from force of habit. Start in and
watch your chances.

The Soul of the Singer.
We read the song that is written
A few little groteSnue signs

We read the song that is written
A few little grotesque signs
Arranged in a certain meter,
With rhymes at the ends of the lines;
: Some chord in our hearts is stirred
But the song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
The one who best sees the picture
Is he with a soul for art.
The one who best reads the poem
Is he with the poet heart,
The thoughts that are rarest and
sweetest
Are deepest in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
Some yearlings may not be spoken,
Some lovers are so wholly blessed,
Some dreams are so tinged with heaven
They never can be expressed.
We miss the intangible something
Behind the veil of the world.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
We meet, but are yelled in spirit,
Familiar, but yet unknown;
A realm of our Utmost beings
Where we are alone, alone,
In each is a strain peculiar
On no other heart conferred,
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.

Being Beautiful.

The preservation of natural beauty
is the art of allowing it TO remain in
ignorance Of itself.
The mistake that so Elany women
appear to make now is that instead of
fostering beauty in this way they wor-
ry and persecute 1t until It Is glad to
fee.
Make beauty supremacy happy. and
it abides; torment it, and il leaves.
Beauty is really one of those quail
ties of which we think less than for
merly in any class. 1t is said that
some women at the present day con-
slider too lavish beauty an encum-
brance-a form of unwelcOnle adver-
'tisement. Such may be true. but ii is

is a burden most women would gladly
shoulder and bear through life.-Ex.

this we add the inevitable perpetuatiOn

1t is better to tread the path of life
cheerfully, skipping lightly over the
thorns and briars that obstruct our
way, than to sit down under every
hedge lamenting our hard fate. The
thread of a cheerful mans life spins
out much longer than that of a man
who is continually sad and Responding.
Prudent conduct in the concerns of life
is highly necessary; but, if distress
succeed, detection and despair will not
afford relief. The best thing to be done
when evil comes is not to give way TO
lamentation, but to seek action mot 10
