The windows glitter on the distant hill;
beyond the hedge the sheep-bells in the fold
Stumble sudden music and STILL
The fororn pnewoods droop above the void.
An endless quiet valley reaches out
Past the blue hills into the evening sky;
over the stubble, cawing, goes a rout
OF rocks from harvest tagging they fly
SO beautiful i IS I never saw
So great beauty on these English fields
Touched by the twllght's coming into awe
Ripe to the soul and rich with summers Yields
These homes, this valley spread below me here
The rocks the Tilted stacks the beasts IN pen
To unknown generations of dead men
Who, century after century, held these farms
-, And looking out to o. watch the changing sky,
OF war at hand and danger pressing nigh
And knew as know that the message meant
THE The breaking of Of ties the loss Of friends.
And no stones laid where the trachway
The ne, harvest r,,ss not yet won, the empty bin
The fallow the Hill yet brought in,
The cracks upholstered In the leaking walls.
Yet heard The news and went discouraged home,

As breaks the dumb hearts of the English kind,
Then sadly rose and left the wel-loved Downs

An influence from tho Earth from those dead hearts
SO passionate once, deep, truly kind,
That in the living child the starts,
Surely above these fields a spirit broods
sense of many watchers muering near;
OF the lone Downland with the forlorn woods
Loved to the death, inestimably dear.
A muttering from beyond the wells Of Death
From long-dead men, TO whom this

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR

Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get q
large bottle for about so cents. Every.
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger

GIVES $4,000 TO THE POPE
story Reveals Characteristics Of the
Present Occupant Of the Pom
tlficaI Throne.

An anecdote is being told about the
pope which shows his natural simple
ity of manners. Since his childhood
his holiness has been great friend OF
a Genoese nobleman who was in the
habit of calling him by his Christian
name and used the diminutive OF
James, "Giacomino," corresponding to
the English Jimmy" This nobleman
was recently received in audience by
the pope, who when he saw him kneel
down said: mo, no; Jimmy won't al
low you to do that"
The pope and his friend had long
talk and the nobleman, who is very
rich. asked the pope to allow him to
present him with some gift. Il have
a splendid old silver service worthy of
a pope and want to give 1t to you, "
said the nobleman. "No, thank you,
replied the pope. 81 have no use for a
silver service; what l need Is hard
cash, which is more useful for the
church" The nobleman asked per
mission to sign a check there and then
and gave it to the pope. He drew ii
for $4,000, as that was what the sill
yer service was worth.

Fiction and Reality.

It is simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact, as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part, for the first
time, of an intoxicated rufian in a
certain melodrama, went to neigh
boring tavern and intoxicated himself.
He thought that this would storm the
house, but on the contrary he was i'm
mediately fired by the management for
a fool-and rightly.-F. H. Martin, in

Summarized Timber.

The strength of a hemlock stick a
foot square that had been in water for
almost forty years was recently test
ed in the 600,000-pound testing ma
chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti-
tute at Troy, in New York. The tim
Der, which was 16 feet 8 inches long,
had formed part of one of the piers OF
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
flood in the spring of 1918, the timber
was turned over to one of the mate
rial-testing laboratories Of the insti-
tute. 1t was kept in the open air
for three months, and then placed In
a dry room for little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the column failed under a
load of $4,000 pounds; that is, the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti-
mate strength of 2,670 pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion Of Prof.
T. r. Lawson, who conducted the test,
the remarkable strength of this piece
of bemlock seems to show that be-
ing immersed in water for long time
does not decrease the column strength
of timber that is subsequently permit
ted to dry out.-Youth's Companion.

yielded more than enough actual lum-
Der for good-sized house, or for a
two-foot board walk nearly two miles
long. The tree scaled 1888 board
feet, and was valued at $5.25 a
thousand feet. Officers of the for

ever felled in a national forest has
been worth so much.-Youth's Oom-
