 TODAy'S POEM
THE ORACLE

T ff Down in it's crystal shallow
 Cleans the ebon we'll of ink; Tn the deepest drop lies lurking
 The thought all men shall think. Fair on the waiting tablet
 Lies the empty papers space; Out of it's snow shall flash a word
 Like an angels earnest face. Who in, those deepest shall cast his
 For the gnome that hugs that thought? Who from the snowy field shall charm
 That flower of truth untaught? Not in the lore of the ancients.
 Not in the yesterday: On the lips of the living moments
 The gods their message lay. Somewhere near it is waiting
 Lige night-wind wandering free, Seeking a mouth to speak through
 Whose shall the message be? It may steal forth like a flute note. It may be suddenly hurled In blare upon blare of trumpet blast
 To startle and stir the world. Hark! but just on the other side
 Some thinnest wall of dreams, Murmurs a whispered music
 And softest rose-light gleams. Listen, and watch. and tell the world What it almost dies to know; Or wait-and the wise old world will say, X 1I knew it long ago. Edward Rowland Sill, Household

Housewife $ Apron and Cap.

Housework is made worthwhile by this neat apron of striped percalel It is accompanied by cap of tho same material. Plain gingham is used to trim the design. The turn-down collar finishes neck cut in round outs line, while the short sleeves are cut in one with the body. A straight belt holds in the fulness of the waist line.
 In medium size the design requires BA yards of 36-inch material, with A yard of gingham in plain color. Be fore cutting the apron, take two widths of the gingham and place them on the sewing. table, right sides facing, in open width. Place the apron into position first, as shown in the cut ting guile, then above it lay the brim of the hat, toward the left, and the belt, each on a lengthwise thread of the material. The pocket piecinp for the back is to the right of it.
 The remaining ginghsm is now fold ed in half and the back of the apron placed on the lengthwise fold, thus avoiding seam: The material should be folded in quarters to cut the crown of the hat and the collar, following the arrangement, on tho cut ting guide.
 ( If made without cap and collar and cuffs, the apron requires only 4y yard of 36-iReh gingham

With the fear that we would escape them, the creatures redoubled their eff forts 10 pull me down, and, though the ground about me was piled high with their dead and dying comrades, they succeeded at last in overwhelming me, and went down beneath them.
 But scarce had I fallen ere I felt powerful hands grip nay ankles. and in another second I was being drawn within the shelter of the trees interior.
 For wonlent it was tug of war between Tars Tarkas and a great plant man who clung tenaciously to my breast. but presently got the point of my long sword beneath him and with a mighty thrust pierced his vitals.
 Bleeding from many wounds. lay panting upon the ground within the hollow of the tree, while Tars Tarkas defended the opening from the furious mob without.
 For an hour they howled about the opening, but after a few attempts to reach us they confined their efforts to terrorizing shrieks aud screams, to hor- rid growing on t'le part of the great white apes and the fea-sOme and ln- describable purring by the plant men.
 At length all but score, who had apparently been left to prevent cur es- cape, had departed, and cur af venture seemed destined to>result in siege, the only outcome of which could be our death by starr ation, for even should we be able to slip cut after dark where. in that unknown and hos tile valley, could we hope to turn cur steps toward possible escape?
 As the attacks of our enemies ceased and our eyes became accustomed to the semidarkness of the interior of our strange retreat l took the opportunity to explore our shelter.
 The tree was hollow to an extent of about fifty feet in diameter, and from its flat, hard floor judged that it had often been used to bocse others. As I raised my eyes toward its roof to note the height saw far above me faint glow of light.
 There was an opening above. If we could but reach it we might still hope to make the shelter of the cliff caves. My eyes had now become quite used to the subdued light of the interior, and as I pursued my investigation pres ently came upon a rough ladder at the far side of the tree.
 Quickly l mounted it to find that 1t connected at the top with the lower, of series of horizontal wooden bars that spanned the now narrower and shaftlike interior of the trees stem. These bars were set one above another, about three feet apart, and formed perfect ladder as far above me as I could see.
 Dropping to the floor once more, I detailed my discovery to Tars Tarkas, who suggested that explore aloft as far as could go in safety, while he guarded the entrance against possi- ble attack.
 As hastened above to explore the strange shaft I found that the ladder of horizontal bars reached always far above me as my eyes could reach, and as I ascended the light from above grew brighter and brighter.
 For fully 800 feet I continued to climb until at length I reached the opening in the stem which admitted the light. It was of about the same diameter as the entrance at the foot of the tree and opened directly upon a large, flat limb, the well worn surface

JUPITER.

He burns beyond the blazing sweep Of red and restless Mars, Across, the Earth swings sheer and steep,
 And Mercury and Venus keep
 The awful inner bars. He marks within the wasted ways
 Of vagrant asteroids; Without. in belts of burning haze, Wan Saturn. Uranus ablaze,
 And Neptune OCT Sae voids. Creations count yet calls him young
 Engirt in golden zone, By moons octuple overhling, From what wild spiral was there flung
 His shard of molten stone? The flame and flood of him is rife,
 With president whispering, Yet knows he not of birth or life, Of love or hate. of joy or strife,
 Of aught that time must bring. Colossal child of time and space,
 His work yet unbegun, Ungathered waters on his face. Unquevtioning he keeps his pace
 Of twelve years round the sun. kadra Maysi in New York Times

DO A MANS HABITS
 CHANGE WITH MARRIAGEo
q have seen love demanding Time and hope and tears; Claiming all the past. Exacting Bonds from future years"

When a man had paddled his own canoe along life's stream as far as the maria geable age, it is amusing the notion many woman has that ne can be built all over again to suit her fancy. When man is born, he has within his make up all of the tenden- cies which crop out in after years. Some die at the root, others flourish and still others are retarded from blossoming. A man may be on his good behavior in trying to win the love of a fair maid. But, after be- com victorious in loves race, he re- laxes his efforts to conform to the ideal she has in mind.
 After wedlock, a man is sure to set tie down to his natural gait. If he is not polite by nature, his suave, en- dearing words soon peter out. So do his caresses. If he has been assun- ing liberality which was far from his real nature, he soon begins to draw in the purse strings. He grunn- bles about the household bills, raises hue and cry about the extrava- gances of women. his wife in partic- ular. If he has been in the habit of admiring young girls on the sly, he's not going ito change his tune because the marriage tie binds him to some one woman. If he is given to indulg- ing in periodical sprees, all the wives in the harem wouldn't stop him from doing his bit in that way. If he's a man who shirks work. wife who was a veritable angel couldn't find a job for him and force him to stick to it.
 A man is already made with his faults and his virtues at the time he meets a woman. If he appeals to her and she falls in love with and ac- lcepts his proposal of marriage, she mustlbe prepared to take him just as she finds him. Love makes 8 certain change in every life. If it is a last ng. affection, the wife has sufficient in- huence over a man to. sway his ten dencies in the direction she wills. If it is affection of the tallow-candle sort, blown out by the first i'll wind that sweeps across it. all her attempts to relight it, keep it in flame, result in failure. Acquired habits a man may overcome. But those he brings into the world with him he cannot be separated from. It is for a wife to make the most of the man she mar ries, to help him hide his faults and polish up his virtues. Yet how many men there are who VOW that with

the shoulder of my antagonist of the great swarm of pursuers that now were fairly upon me.
 Now at last l saw the nature of the other monsters who had come with the plant men in response to the weird calling of the man upon the cliffs face. They were that most dreaded of Mar tian creatures-great white apes of Barsoom.
 They stand lift zen feet ill height and walk erect upon their hind feet. Like the green Martians, they have an in- termediary set of arms midway be- tween their upper and lower limbs.
 Their eyes are very close set, but do not protrude, as do those of the green
