To a Butterfly.

Fair, futtering thing with downy wing And myriad hues entrancing, envy thee thine ecstasy, Among the flowers dancing. Short is thy day, so haste away Where the sunbeams bright are calling; Upon the breeze take thou thine ease, Our senses still enthralling. Rare, gentle life! The world is rife With woe and sin and sorrowl With summers sun thy day is done Be glad thou hast no morrowl

What Your Lips Tell Uncon
 sciously.

Smooth, thick lips denote love of the good things of life; thin ones, opposite ly, indicate want of vitality and but little capacity either for enjoyment or affording pleasure to others. The me- dium-the proper mean"-is the best, such lips indicating a full share of the milk of human kindness and a loving, sympathetic, feeling nature.
 Upturned lips indicate a witty, mirth- full nature; but such as descend at the angles of the mouth denote a gloomy, unhopeful temperament.
 When the space from the nose to the opening of the mouth--i. e., that part of the face which Is often spoken of as the Upper lip''-is long. stiff and full, 1t shows self-reliance and confidence In ones s own opinions and ideas.

The Beauty of Love.

The beauty of love Is that, though 1t Is so precious and wonderful a thing, everyone has the chance to experience 1t.
 We may cherish and nourish 1t, or we may wantonly neglect it and throw 1t away, but there are few of us who have not had our chance.
 I would advise every one to read great love stories and love poems. It is we'll to know the breadth and height to which others can rise and to compare your love with theirs. You may love well, but perhaps you can learn to love bet ter

Value of Sewing.

George Eliot tells us that woman is never so much at home with herself as when she is sewing. and famous nerve specialist declares that the act of sewing has two distinct effects, one advanta- geous, the other detrimental.

Tennyson s First Poems.

The wind came sweeping through the garden of an old Lincolnshire rectory one morning In the beginning of last century and blew upon child 5 years old, says the Westminster Gazette, who who opened his arms to the blast and let 1t carry him along crying, as he travelled. "I hear voice that's calling in the wind" That was Tennyson's first line of poetry. The first poem he ever composed was written upon slate one Sunday morning at Louth. The subject, set him by his brother Charles, was "Flowers,' and little Alferd covered his slate with blank verse after the model of Thompsons Seasons" His next at- tempt was an elegy upon his grand mother who had just died. written at the request of his grandfather. When 1t was written the old man put ten shill- ings into the boys hand and said There. that is the first money you have ever earned by your poetry, and, take my word for it, 1t will be the last"

My Lady Modish.

First installments of fall millinery are now on view, and while it seems to be forcing the season slightly to introduce these styles when the summer sun is still scarcely past its meridian, yet it is one of the tricks of the trade, and one doesn't have to buy, merely look in upon the new creations" is the polite invitation from the urbane merchants.
 The newest coats for motoring or shop ping are very smart. They come in mix lures, double faced and chevron-striped worsteds. cheviots, broadcloths and ker- sey. The models are slightly fitted and nearly all showing the moire collars and cuffs.
