LOVES THREADS OF GOLD.

In the night she told story,
In the night and all night through,
While the moon was in her glory,
And the branches dropped with dew.
Twas my life she told, and round it
Rose the years as from deep;
In the worlds great heart she found ii
Graded like a child asleep.
In the night I saw her weaving
By the misty moonbeam cold,
All the weft her shuttle cleaving
With sacred thread Of gold.
All! she wept me tears of sorrow,
Lulling tears so mystic sweet;
Then she wove my last tomorrow,
And her web lay at my feet.
OF my life she made the story;
l must weep-so soon twas told
But YOUR name did lend it glory,
And your love its thread of gold

THE ART OF GARGLING.

and in this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the
water. The physician should control
the patients vain efforts, for 1t is i'm

after gargling thus for while the
patient is ordered to close the mouth
and quickly throw head and body for
ward. Thereby all the fluid is forced
through the choanoe and nostrils, wash
ing the throat and nose from behind
and expelling all the accumulations
that had been present with great force,
"This should be repeated several
| times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. 1t is an
act that must be learned.
"When properly executed the sensa-

returned to the carriage with strange
misgivings.
Strong did not heed the many won

direction that night, for he was doing
his best to make it a red-letter occa-

ing heart-to-heart talk with himself.

Mary did in situation new to her is

she sighed as if waking from a beau

Castlewood and Elizabeth Millor.
"How are you, Elizabeth?" he In

in wonder, forgot to bow, but Eliza
