A SONG OF LONG AGO.

A song of long ago
Sing it lightly. sing it low:
Sing 1t softly, like the lisping of the
lips we usesd to know
When our baby daughter spilled
From the hearts forever filled
With music sweet as robin ever
trilled.
Let the fragrant summer breeze.
And the leaves of locust trees,
And the apple buds and blossoms and
the wings of honey bees,
All palpitate with gIee,
TIL 1.-The happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to you
and me.
Let the eyes of fancy turn.
Where the tumbled pippins burn
Like embers in the orchards lap of
tousled grass and fern;
And let the hayward wind
Still singing, plod behind
The cider press-the good oldfashioned
kind
Blend in the song the moan
OF dove that grieves alone
And the wild wllirr of the locust and
the BUNDLES drowsy drone;
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars, when all
The landscape faints away at eve-fall.
Then. far away and clear,
Through the dusty atmosphere,
Let the wailing of the kilde be the only
sound you hear.
oh, sweet and sad and low,
Is the glad, pathetic song of Long Ago.

TRANsPLANTED EYELAsHEs.
Another Way in Which Art improves
on Nature,

In Paris and London, where the idea
originated, there are specialists who
make a handsome living out of the
process of transplanting hair from the
head to the eyebrows or eyelashes.
Only the brave and rich can patronize
the new method at present, for, be-
sides being painful and costly, it takes
long time to accomplish it,
The specialist works by putting in,
not on, the new eyelashes and eye
brows wherever they are absent or
grow thin, and so cunning is he in his
work that not even the closest scruti-
ny can detect any difference. BY
means of the new process, it is said.
eyes which are at ordinary times only
passable become languishing in their
expression, while eyes which were pre-
viously considered fine have their
beauty much enhanced.
This is the way new eyelashes are
put in: An ordinary fine needle is
threaded with a long hair. generally
taken from the head Of the person TO
be operated upon. The lower border
of the eyelid is then thoroughly
cleaned, and in order that the process
may be as painless as possible, rubbed
with solution of cocaine The ope-
rator then, by a few skillful touches.
runs his needle through the extreme
edge of the eyelid between the epider-
mis- and the lower border of the car
ulage of the tragus. The needle passes
in and over along the edge of the lid.
leaving its hear thread in loops of
carefully graduated length. When this
mas been done another and another
length of hair is sewed through the lid
until finally there are a dozen or more
loops projecting.
BY this time the effect of the CO.
caine has been lost and the operator is
obliged to desist and put off the fur
ther sewing of hair" for another sit
ing. The next step in the process is
cutting off and trimming the ends Of
the loops, and the result is a fine.

touch that is to come that
makes them look like natures own

IN the most singular fashion, giving
the person operated upon the most un-
canny look. The operators next step
is TO take curling tongs made of silver
and ma larger than knitting needles,
ana TO give them the curve which is
essential to perfect beauty Then The
eyes are carefully bandaged and kent
so until the following day.
Most of the hairs that have heen
iransplanted take root and grow. but
few of them fall out and have to he

necessary to curl the new evelashes
every day. but after that thew become
properly assimilated, and it is NOT
necessary to give them any further af-
ention. Eyebrows are doctored in the
iame way, but there is not so much
'ain associated with the process as in
ransplanting eyelashes.-Health.

The Power of Silence.

| How many heartache we may save
! if in our anger we would only keep ST.
lent, and how much happier the world
would be if people would not try to
/ talk their souls away in finding fault
with their neighbors The world adj
| nires a, silent woman, who. when she
does talk we seem to hear the soft mu-
sic of the angels.
Father Ryan says in one of his beau
tifuI poems:
Hearts that are great never beat loud,
They muffie their music when they
come:
They hurry away from the thronging
crowd
With Bonded brows, and lips half
dumb
The most beautiful changes in ma
'ture are silently done. Who has not
meditatel on the beautiful upcoming of
the flowers, and the rainbow as it ST
lently appears in the heavens after a
shower,
Our greatest men and women have
been silent workers, and the world S
greatest evils have also resulted from
the workings of silent men and women.
Tired bodies in some mysterious way
see everything they need, sick ones are
soothed, those in sorrow are comforted
by little woman whom the world calls
mother" II is she who is the silent
worker of Gods greatest designs.

Health Hints.

For unbroken chilblains rubbing Will
damp salt is one of the best remedies
known.
Onions are tonic for the nerves but
people will be forever prejudiced be-
cause of their door.
A few grains of coffee burned on hot
Goals will purify the air in a sick room
and drive away any odor.
Don't wear bracelets so tight that
thev affect the circulation or so loose
that they rub the wrist joints
A small onion eaten raw before retir-
ing will often result in restful sleep,
as onions are excellent nerve soothers.

Broken Hair.

When the hair becomes broken and
thin, there is always a reason for it. Ill
health, worry lack of care of the scalp
or late hours will often make the hair
appear disconsolate and discouraged. A
course of scalp treatment and regular
electric brushings will act as glad
some tonic to a depleted halo.

Standing at last in solemn pause
We looked at one another:
And II saw in mothers eyes

The love eternal as the skies,

She put her arms about my neck
And soothed the pain of leaving,
And though her heart was like to

She spoke no word of grieving;
She let no tear bedim her eyes
For fear that might distress me,
But, kissing me, she said good-by
And asked our God to bless me.

EYE5ALLs KEPT BRIGHT.
Wash Eyes Daily With an Eye-cup
and Simple Lotions.

IL more persons knew that the eve
pals need bathing quite as much as thu
oody no dressing stand would be with
out an eye cup and lotion for this pur
pose. In washing the eyes use a spe.
clal glass that may be bought at any
| druggists. This cup is shaped some.
thing like wine glass, except that i
is elongated instead of round and ha.
a rim that slopes down in the middle
to fit the eyes.
To use this little vessel fill it three.
quarters full of whatever lotion or Ii.
quid is prescribed, then place it closely
about the eye and throw back the head
In this position open and shut the eye
so that the ball is thoroughly bathed
AS to the lotion for the bath an ex.
cellent and simple was that will
cleanse the ball and relieve a feverisl
or tired sensation is made by boiling
and filtering half a pint of water and
Touring into it, while still warm one
half teaspoonful of refined borax. Let
this cool, then filter again through a
piece of thin muslin.
The cup may be partly filled with this
liquid morning and night and any time
during the day when the eyes feel tired.
1t should be applied as previously di-
rected and, after using for a time, will
usually clear away the yellow scum SC
frequently seen on eyeballs and always
so disfiguring. Before applying any To-
ton the eyes must always be carefully
bathed in warm water.
For eyes that are weak a tonic wash
recommended by English oculists is
made in this way: One-half of an ounce
of rock salt and one ounce of dry sui
plate of zinc simmered in a perfectly
clean covered porcelain vessel with
three pints of water until the ingredi-
ents are all dissolved; strain through
thick, clean muslin, add one ounce of
rose water and cork tightly.
Use when the eyes feel weak.
If the lotion smarts add a little wa
ter. The eye cup should be kept per-
fectly clean.
If after simple home treatment the
eyeballs continue to show a yellowish
appearance no time should be lost in
consulting a physician, for something
wrong with the system is indicated.
Any inflammation of the eyes is
likely to exhibit itself by secretion on
the lids I'm the morning. and this condi-
ton should be checked before 1t leads
into another more serious state.
After bathing with either of the To-
tons given the edges of the lids should
be covered at night with paste made
of two and one-half centigrams each of
oxide of zinc and subacetate of lead,
twenty-five centigrams of oil of sweet
almonds, three grams of white vaseline
and three drops of tincture of benzoin.
1t is we'll to have this compounded by
a chemist. for should there be the least
lump or grain it is apt to find its way
into the eye and cause irritation. In
making any lotion at home too much
care cannot be given TO filtering. and
should the liquid become cloudy it must
be strained again to prevent causing ir-
ritation.

The AppreciatIve Girl.

Appreciation is the root and the
flower of native courtesy. The girl
who is appreciative requires few les
sons in etiquette: rudeness is unnat-
ural to her; she could not slight cut,
snub the poorest hanger-on or the rich
est pretender, and that is why every
one loves her.
Not that she is troubled overmuch
with burrs and bores and bornsillies;
courtesy teaches her tact; she knows
that the good doctor seldom uses the
knife. What need to cut when a little
pleasant firmness accomplishes the
same end less painfully, and without

all-the venom of vindictive enmity?
Her very admirers form a phalanx
against disagreeable intrusions, for
Miss AppreciatiVe is the most popular
of girls. The veriest bore of all could
not bore his way through the circle of
stalwarts surrounding her on every
get-aroundable occasion.
The matter-of-course girl-and she is

say and to believe that the apprecia
