Those leveled grave-stones, They were landing steps; they were steps unto thrones Of glory for souls that have gone be- fore, And have set white feet on the for tunate shore. And what are the names of the For 1unate Isles? Why, Duty and Love and a large Content.

was formally opened by the mayaf @m Columbus Day.
 This magnificent bird house wn9 made possible, though the generosity of Charles Parkman, and 1t IS said to be the largest one in the world. It con- tains over one hundred separate cagea for the birds and in the center Is an immense flying cage, filled with bril- liant-hued tropical birds and f1owersa There are over four hundred birda housed in the aviary. The most rare and valuable is the Secretary bird from Africa which is saM to be the only one in captivity It is a serpent-eat- ing bird of the tropics. and has crest of feathers resembling a secretary's habit of putting pens behind the ear. When this bird attacks a serpent. it corners it's reptile with one wing (the wings being armed with spurs on the elbow joints) to protect itself from the bite, and with the other wing strikes violent blows until it has stunned it's prey.
 There is also a snow white pigeon from South America, a number of rare specimens of paradise birds, and a rare specimen of an aLbino jack daw.
 Each bird cage is heated according to the amount of heat, required by each bird, and the ventilation and lighting system are a fine mechanical adjustment.
 If any of the Social Corner mems berS visit Boston, they will find VfSlb to Franklin Park of more than ordin- ary interest," Besides the big aviary, there is also a zoo.

USES OF LEMON JUICE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: How is everybody? I have got my chores all done, so I am going to come right in, and I am not going to stop to knock Aunt Sarah: Yes, you have me this lime. Is your name Mrs. F.?
 lola: Where are you? Have not seen eay letter from you for a long time.
 Polly Peppermint: Your story was fine:
 Aunt Sarah's Daughter: Are you lost strayed, or stolen?
 Jim: Are your initials E. NJ?
 Here are a few things that lemon juice will do:
 Chapped hands can be softened and

whitened by applying lemon juice However, it should not be used every day, as it is apt then to dry the skin too much Applied once or twice a week it prevents wrinkles.
 The fipgernails can be rubbed with lemon juice to whiten them.
 Unbroken chilbIaiBs, if rubbed with lemon juice, will disappear.
 Lemon juice is an excellent dentifrice and strengthens the gums, but the mouth must be thoroughly rinsed after using it.
 A glass of hot lemon and water taken before going to bed will cure a cold. A slice of lemon tied on a corn and renewed every night will soften it so that after a few applications the corn can be extracted.

EXPERIENCE
 OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism united for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock from which itis hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and distinct change insthe mother results.
 There isinothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing iS that, withGal the evidence of shattered nerves andssbroken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with arn- pie time in which to prepare, women will persist4in going blindIy. to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

seriously retarded and injured by the
conduct of the British women. They
proving themselves unworthy of the

many men is fruitless point to inject
into the argument.
