only shabby and tumble-down looking 
in the extreme, but it leaks, the walls 
are moldy, and it seems as though re¬ 
finement could not dwell Within. But 
there is more happiness in that little 
home than in many handsome bricks and 
brownstone fronts, for true love is there, 
and hope dwells with them ; plans were 
drawn, and the carpenter engaged to 
build them a new house this spring ; but 
the bank failed, and the thousand dol¬ 
lars which had been dug from the soil, 
and treasured up in the bank, are gone. 
The new house lives only in their con¬ 
tinued hope. The old house must last 
another year; the roof will leak, the 
walls will be more unsightly, yet you 
visit there, and you scarcely notice them. 
The hospitality extended, the excellent 
dinners, the general atmosphere is full 
of the home feeling ; while there, one 
gives himself up to enjoyment, and, de¬ 
parting, is conscious of carrying away 
with him an indefinable something. The 
conversation has been ordinary—about 
crops, and chickens, and the garden; but 
back of it all has been the desire on the 
part of these people to make your visit 
pleasant — and they have succeeded. 
True kindness has taken the place of 
ceremony ; we “ eat, drink and are 
merry.” There is no outbreak, ever, 
among the children — “ love thro’ all 
their actions runs,” and love puts a halo 
over the tumble-down home. Go where 
we will, do what we will, we find that 
love makes the home in whatever de¬ 
gree or station of life. It is not wealth, 
or luxury, or ease, or education, or cul¬ 
ture, but love, which makes life happy.

Misses’ Gown. 
Waist 6458. Skirt 6400. 
The waist is neatly arranged over fit¬ 
ted linings. The full front droops in 
blouse or pouch fashion in the center, 
the back being drawn snugly to the 
waist, a deep lace yoke with edge over¬ 
lapping the fullness, and a crush collar 
with satin ribbon bows at the neck. 
Full puffs are gracefully draped over 
fitted sleeves, which may be made to the 
wrists or cut off at the elbow. A bow 
of ribbon is caught in the puff. A belt 
of ribbon with “ harness ” of the same 
falling half way down the skirt in front, 
ending in windmill bows to match those 
on the yoke and sleeves. A fashionable 
gored skirt with a circular front and 
godet back, fits smoothly at the front 
and sides and falls in ripples at the lower 
edge, being of stylish width. The waist 
and skirt are cut in three sizes for misses, 
viz : 12, 14 and 16 years.

CRUMBS FROM DIFFERENT TABLES. 
Some of your hurts you have cured, 
And the sharpest you still have survived; 
But what torments of grief you endured 
From evils which never arrived! 
— Emerson. 
-Polly Pry in New York Recorder: 
“When a man is old enough to be mar¬ 
ried, he’s a little too old to be entirely 
remade.” 
-W. D. Howells in Harper’s Maga¬ 
zine : “ The egotism of some people con¬ 
cerning their dreams is almost incredible. 
They will come down to breakfast and 
bore everybody with a recital of the 
nonsense that has passed through their 
brains in sleep, as if they were not bad 
enough when they were awake.” 
....New York Press: “Womanhood 
has been tried in every possible furnace 
of experience, from that of sensual slav¬ 
ery in the East to that of inhuman 
bondage in Europe, and the fact that it 
has triumphantly endured this long and 
bitter ordeal shows how firmly seated 
are the highest instincts of femininity. 
Rational liberty never unsexed men ; it 
will not unsex women.” 
.... Wayi.and Hoyt : “Before musicians 
can pour forth a perfect harmony, they 
must bring their instruments into tune. 
Before two hearts can perfectly strike 
together, they must be keyed to the 
same note, and that cannot be altogether 
done before marriage. The exact real 
self does not appear in courtship. It is 
the best self, the self dressed in the best 
wardrobe of manners and sentiment and 
sacrifice that appears then. After mar¬ 
riage the self puts on its common habits 
and appears for what it is. Then each 
real self must adjust itself to each real 
self ; then must each bear and forbear. 
Then must any incompatibility be met 
and mastered by a mutual charity which 
suffereth long and is kind, which never 
faileth.”

Blood - Poisoning. 
Remarkable Statement of a Well-known Nurse. 
“About two years ago, I was suffering from blood-poisoning. 
I had four large sores, or ulcers, break out on my person. I 
doctored for a long time, both by external application and 
with various blood-medicines; but, in spite of all that I could 
do, the sores would not . heal. At last, I purchased six bottles 
of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, thinking I would give it a thorough 
trial. Before the first bottle was taken, 1 noticed a decided 
improvement in my general health. Before the six bottles had 
been taken, the ulcers were healed, the skin sound and natural, 
and my health better than it had been for years. I have been 
well ever since. I had rather have one bottle of Ayer’s Sarsa¬ 
parilla than three of any other kind.”—Mrs. A. F. Taylor, Englevale, N. Dak.
