THE ABSENT HEART OF Me.

The low sun paints the willow rows,
Their shadows lengthening eastward

A purple tracery on the SHOWS;
And spring is here--but that is all.
A silence broods upon the farm
Sweet, sweet, as some forgotten song
After the battles mad alarm.
Such peace-and yet | long, and long
Here dwell the memories of the past,
A tribe as true as God has made
And friends that yield their honor last
And yet my heart must bear blade!
This house keeps natures wondrous

Old books and bronze and native art
All things to move the sol of man;
But voiceless to a stricken heart!
All. wealth and crafts of men, how

And empty of all constancy!
Yea, even grace of God must fail
You are the absent heart of met

Havoc Wrought In Hot Days Of Sum-

Hard to Overcome.

Summer is hard on gilt frames.
holdings and mirrors. The humidity
in the air, excessive dust and flies
quickly work havoc.
The old way was to shroud all gilt
IN mosquito netting with the approach
of spring. This is too dismal for the
modern housekeeper. What she can
not put away she does not worry over,
for she knows gilt. especially good
gilt, is cleanable. A cloth slightly
dampened in alcohol will remove blur
and dulness. This must be delicately
and quickly done or ugly spots result.
Fly specks and the soil of SCOT can
be removed by rubbing with fresh
bread, or If the dirt is extra bad, with
bread on which drop or two of am
monia has been sprinkled.
Should the gilt finally get too bad
regilding is possible at home with
some of the Japanese liquid gifts that

Cherry Tapioca.

This calls for pound and half
sour cherries. one cup pearl tapioca.

Vegetable Compound. ."-MRs. WILLIE
EDWARDS, Holly Springs, Miss.
One of the greatest triumphs Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman's
dread enemy = tumor. If you have
mysterious pains, inflammation, ulcera-
ton or displacement, don't wait for
time to confirm your fears and go
through the horrors of a hospital opera
ton, but try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table compound at once.
For thirty years Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, has been the standardremedy
for female ills, and such unquestion-
able testimony as the above proves the
value of this famous remedy, and
should give everyone confidence.
If you would like special advice
about your case write a cOnfiden-
tial letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free,
and always helpful.

Get After the Files.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis
ease and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally l got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. 1
used them in the morning and that
evening, before 1 put my boy to bed,
used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. l used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
II took care of friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
[ used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. l would recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. j..

Delaney Nicoll, lawyer, is always

Washingtonians and others from a dis
tance. Although perhaps 1t Is not
known to every one, 1t is 1act OF
some interest that every member OF
the librarians force is college man.
The person whom one sees handlng
out light juvenile fiction has under
gone a collegiate training, which,
though possibly of little use in this
instance, may stand him well In hand

work. These patient, faithful. obi
ging librarians who wait upon young
girl readers seeking Gibson's THE
Passing Show" with the same polite
and thorough attention with which
they respond to the applications of
students and men of learning, are,
many of them, men OF considerable
learning and literary accomplishments
Richard Johnson speaks and reads
French quite as well as he does Eng
Jish, and If a F'renchman unable to
speak or understand word of Eng
lish were to drop into the library
reading room he would perhaps ex-
perience less difficulty in securing
what he desired than If he were in
Paris. The others are also able to
read French and German, in addition
to English, this being one of the re-
uuirements under which they hold
their places. In addition to this, how
ever, Mr. Johnson is able to speak
French as well as native of Paris.
Frank Reynolds speaks excellent
Spanish and usually attends to the
wants of visitors from the republics
of Latin America.
Louis Solyom, however, is perhaps
the most accomplished linguist in the
library. He speaks ten languages and
reads in still larger number.
He is one of the few Americans who
are able to read and speak the Chi
nese, Japanese, Turkish, Hungarian
and Polish languages, and, among 9TH
er duties, attends to the cataloguing
of works in the Chinese, Turkish and
other oriental languages.
Mr.. Babine speaks and reads the
Russian and Slavic languages as well
as he does English, cataloguing all
works printed in these tongues which
come to the library, for, although the
number of Washington people who
read Russian, Chinese, etc, is rather
limited, still there are enough of them
70 render the purchase and keeping on
hand of a number of works in the
languages just mentioned, as well as
in Turkish, Japanese, Hungarian and
Finnic, a necessity. Among those who
patronize the library reading room,
and who read in Chinese as well as
in English, may be mentioned Will
liam Woodville Rockhill. and several
others who have served in the navy
and diplomatic service. OF the total
number of patrons who read in Ian
guages other than English, those who
have mastered French and German
are in a decided majority. Time was
when the number of people (Ameri-
cans) who could read in Russian, the
most difficult of all European lam
guages. amounted to very few. In
