A KISS IN THE RAIN.

One stormy morn / CHANGED to meet
A lassie in the town;
Fer lockas were like the ripened wheat.
Her laughing eyes were brown.
/ watched her as she tripped along
Till madness filled my brain,
And then-and then-I know twas
wrong
kissed her in the rain!
With raindrops shining on her cheek
Like dewdrops on a rose.
The little lassie strove to speak,
My holiness to oppose;
She strove in vain, and quivering,
Her fingers stole in mine:
And then the birds began to sing,
The sun began to shine.
Oh, let the clouds grow dark above,
My heart is light below;
Twas always summer when we love
However winds may blow;
And I'm as proud, as any prince,
All honors / disdain;
She says I am her rain beau since
] kissed her in the rain.

that of Miss Mercedes Saltmarsh.

KIND WORDS.

What silences we keep year after year
With those who are most near to us
and dear;
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak of myriad things. but sci.
dom say
The full. sweet word that lies within
our reach,
Beneath the common ground Of com
mon speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach
they go,
These dear familiar friends who loved
us so;
And, sitting in the shadow they have
left,
Alone with loneliness, and sore bereft
We think with vain regret of some
kind word
That once we might have said, and
they have heard.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A young
man who has been taking me around
great deal lately asked me few
days ago If he might call on me
Sunday evening. I told him no, that
I had some letters to write, and
VIC uld rather have him come some
other time. Just as 1t happened, a
young man friend from another city
came Unexpectedly on Sunday, and
the first young man saw us together.
He thought 1 had told him an I'M
truth, and is very angry, not giving
mo a chance to explain. Should / do
anything to set matters right? 1 do
not care to lose his friendship.
MILDRED.
As soon as the wound to the first
young mans pride has had time to
heal. he will give you chance to
set him right. Possibly he will learn
the true state of affairs from one of
your girl friends. He really has no
grounds for grievance, as he will ad-
NIT presently.

(D-I have never heard Of Romany
OF gypsy people appearing as actresses
and do not believe that you have seen
any such in the Bohemian Girl The
gypsy parts are taken by ordinary
actors and actresses, who make UP
skilfully so that they look like real
gipsies. During the summer wander
ing bands of gipsies travel about the
country by wagon, camping beside
streams and in groves. GA rec

be cured by taking care to eat in mod
Grafton only such foods as are whole

ercise a great deal, and eat less. o.
The weight you mention is a bit large
for a girl of fourteen or fifteen, but
of course, much depends upon height

AN ATTRACTIVE
strawberry TABLE.

thoroughly tempting centerpiece
for strawberry table decoration can
be arranged by covering a dainty rus
tic basket with INTERVENING black
berry briers in full blossom-one long,
graceful spray. held in place by but
terfiy bows of ribbon of a shade to
blend with strawberries, alone form
Ing the handle, which should be very
high. Line the inside of the basket
with strawberry and blackberry bios
sens, and fill with delicious ripe
strawberries, so they will peep out
between the fruit flowers. Clusters of
wild strawberries should droop from
the baskets sides, and also be daintily
arranged among the ribbons and bios
SONS of the handle.
The centerpiece on which this bas-
ket rests should be of white linen,
with deep lace border over straw
berry colored silk; and hedges of
strawberries and blackberry vines
should stretch to the four corners of
TIE bare table. Here they should be
banked and twined around tall cut
glass vases, bearing long sprays of
arching blackberry stems. Scatter
blackberry blossoms over the table
and use as souvenirs tiny silver-to
ped strawberry emeries, tied lavishly
with ribbon.
Strawberry shortcake, strawberry
/ bcnbons, and frozen strawberries
served in miniature rose colored
strawberry boxes, will help to carry
out the artistic effect.

Costa Rican Volcanoes.

Costa RIGA has been subject to earth
quakes for many years. Part OF the
republic is exceedingly mountainous,
and In this part of the country there
are more than n score Of volcanoes
some OF them dead, but a few that
break ont periodically. There are
three or four that have been active
for more than q century. Some OF
these are near Sau Jose, the capital
Costa Ricaps have always believed that
earthquakes. which the country has e1-
perienced ever since it was first set
tied by Spanish Adventures. were
caused by the volcanoes. There Is
good ground for this belief, because 1t
has been noticed that earthquakes OF
more or less intensity followed the &C.
tivity of these volcanoes. If the vol
canic eruptions were violent the EARTH
quakes were correspoDdingly severe
