Nanny stood on the porch, peering
down the wooded lane in a vain ef-

Under various names the French le-

century and was finally constituted as

battalions divided into two regiments,
mastering a total strength OF $4,000
men. Eight thousand are kept in the

regiments were divided into national

This resulted, however, in continual

TIE COUNTRY CHILD.

a-ba Country Child has fragrances
He breathes about him as he goes;
Clear eyes that look at distances,
And in his cheeks the wilding rose.
The sun. the sun himself will stain
The country face to his own red,
The red-gold of the ripening grain,
And bleach to white the curly heao.
He rises to the morning lark,
Sleeps with the evening primroses,
Before the curtain of the dark
Lets down its splendor, starred Win
bees.
Fl. sleeps so sweet without dream
Under brown cottage caves and deep,
His window holds one stray moon-Dean'
As though an angel kept his sleep.
Tie foods on honest country fare,
Drinks the clear water of the spring,
Green carpets wait him everywhere,
Where he may run, where he may sing.
He hath his country lore by heart,
And what is friend, and what is foe;
Hath conned Dame Natures book apart,
Her child since he began to grow.
When he is old, when he goes sad,
Hobbling upon a twisted knee,
He keeps somewhat of joys he had
Since an old countryman is he.
He keeps his childhood's innocencies,
Though his old head be bleached to
snow,
Forget-me-nots still hold his eyes,
And in his cheeks old roses blow.

What Liquocide Is

Liquocide is a tonic-germicide, the
virtues of which are derived solely from
oxide gases. No alcohol. no narcotic,
nothing but gas enters into it. The
process of making requires large appa-
ratus, and consumes IA days time. The
object is TO combine the gases with a
liquid as to carry their virtues into the
system.
The result is a germicide so certain
that We publish with every bottle an
offer OF $1,000 for a disease germ that
Liquoeide cannot kill. IL destroys them
because germs are OF vegetable origin.
But to the body L~iquocide is exhilirat-
ing, vitalizing. purifying.
That is its main distinction. Common
germacides are poisohs when taken In
ternally. They are impossible. Tor they
destroy the tissues as well as he germ
