LOVE'S LITANY. Had I het known long years ago. The de^p unrest, the weigr.t of woe, The pain of having loved you so! Had 1 hut seen through mist of years My bitter sacrifice of tears? Had I but felt as I do now. These scars of sorrow on my brow, No seeds of promise had I sown, My life were not so weary grown. Had I but known. Had we but known?that summer dc >We wandered forth, the primrose way, Our love would wither and decay! Had we but felt one hour like this? A barren time without one kissHad we but seen that we could .stand Parted forever in love's land. We had not suffered?to atone ' We had not sighed, apart?alone! Had we but known. ?Clement Scott. =JL 11 THE TRAGEDY 111 , } OF THE BRIDGE | By Frederic Howe Marion Hi i ?I "T HAD a fancy -when Tavei T nier first brought his niece ? I O Cataline Ricci, to River "* side, that some traged; would be enacted there The girl was so handsome and ther was something so stormy in her Italia] black eyes. I said so to Stanhope, o The Locusts, our lion. "The girl is handsome enough for . romance, certainly." he answerec utroking his blond beard. He was much at the villa, for be am Tavernier were friends?indeed, h Lad brought Tavernier over fron France. He had been my husband' colonel, and since Frauk's death ha< been my friend. It was my secre t hope that he would marry my pet sis ter, and he?but I will not anticipate. As I said, he went often to the villa Riverside, with its walks, terraces, am fountains, was a beautiful place, an* Tavernier kept open house for hii friends. When he first came there, occasionally attended his entertain menjts with my family, but after Cata line Ricci came I went Jess often There seemed to me something hart and defiant in her manner of meetinj all Tavernier's friends. Stanhope was the exception. Then iwas something in the sunuy. gay younj I Englishman that pleased her. 1 havi thought since that perhaps I did no j like her because I thought 6be woul( iWin him away from my sister Carrie. X nppd nnt hnvp> fparsfl S>m novo' tried to please him; she was oalj # thankful to be diverted from her sor row. He would enter the drawing - room sometimes to find her pacing th< floor like a caged animal; but at sigli of him her mood would change; sh< would come and nestle at his feet, beg ping him to tell her war stories, whicl much diverted her. She liked best tlx scenes of fierce encounter and victory It was wonderful to me that he coult recount these episodes, in which his own heroic p?rt was unavoidably con spicuous, and she not worship bin With all her fiery foreign nature; bu even my jealous eyes could not discov er the slightest desire for anything bu her own gratification. She was pas sionate, selfish, and yet her naturi held a depth of fervid sweetness whicl my cooler Northern blood could no comprehend. The most beautiful spot about th< town was where the river was spannei by its bridge. The great elms on eacl side almost arched across it; wood bine hung from its mossy piers; th< Blow, blue river ran silently beneath nnri in hnfh itiwilnnc in a basby vista. Here the robini built, and on moonlight evenings th< .whip-poor-wills called melodiously. Cataline liked this spot. It was th< only scene around her new home thai was like Italy, she said; and as sin said that, while we stood there om night, I knew that she was homesick J saw it in her great eye?. u "Would you go back?" I asked. ? ''Would I go back!" ' I shall never forget the thrilling pa thos of that cry. Though I could no like her, after that I was very, ver? sorry for her. It was only a few days later that [went with Colonel Stanhope and m: sister Carrie to "spend the evening a Riverside. We had music., chess, and refresh ments. The time passed pleasantly t< me, in spite of some secret anxieties Carrie had never met Cataline before : and I saw, when she looked upon he dark, haughty beauty, that her hear iliA/1 U TT wtu.

Travernier, ug ly, polite and charming, as only i Frenchman of fifty can be. entertainei us happily in spite of all this. But the evening was at an end a last, and Stanhope, my sister and my self were going down the avenue. Sud denly I discovered that I had left m; handkerchief. It was a delicate thin: that had been one of my bridal gifts and I was naturally uneasy. Th colonel released my arm to go for it. "No," said I, "I will go. 1 may hav dropped it upon the piazza; if not, know just where I must have left i in the music room." I sped back. It was not upon the p azza. I passed in at the open doorfor it was summer weather mc iuug uiuwiu{;-ryom t the music room, without meeting an one. There was the precious mouchoi upon a chair. I snatched it up an (was about to turn back, when two pfi sons, talking, entered the drawin room. One was Tavernier: 1 knew hi quick, imperious stop, and I hesitate about making my appearance after hi late elaborate adieus. Then I hear .Cataline's voice: "I demand that letter." "It is already destroyed," replle Tavernier, with polite malice. ! A storm of Italian foliowpri Timn.. terrified half out of my senses, learned that Cataline liad a lover i Naples, one Enriquez Beueditti. wiioi Tavernier had forbidden her to hoi any communication with, but throng the agency of her old servant, Hindi she had been in tlie linhit of re:*eivin letters from him since her arriva*. j America. One of these ietter.s l.er ;u cle had discovered and couCscaied. Sii * demanded it with violence, and failing to receive it, Burst into a volley of re proaches and appeals to heaven and her dead father to save her from her monster of a relative. I never before heard anything like that tempest ol words and cries. Tavernier replied mockingly, or with shrill curses on her obstinacy, that made the scene so distressing and ludty icrous to my Northern sensibilities and sense of propriety that a panic seized me, and swinging open the long French window. I leaped a distance of seven or eight feet to the ground and ran through the garden to my companion?. "What is that noise?" was Stanhope's first salutation. "They are having a dreadful quarrel,'' I replied, panting. "I never be fore heard people swear in French and s Italian." = Carrie uttered an exclamation of horror, but Stanhope did not seem sur-1 prised. "Tavernier shall not bully the girl," he muttered. On reaching our door he left us, hurwAnf lionl- fn "RivorfciflA ttlflf I I ICU JJ? , uiiU ? CUl kstivtx IV A** 1 v? | night. He was much at the villa after that. | I began to fear that Carrie had lost him. And yet when I saw that beautiful foreign girl's weary face, I .was *" very sorry for her. > I knew that Stanhope was very kind ' to her. He wt <5 that to every one in P trouble. I learn d, also, that Tavernier wished him to marry his niece. I e could not predict what the end would a be. They rode and drove much togetb* or, and it seemed, sometimes, that matters must end as Tavernier wished. a But for the end that came I was totally unprepared. Cataline had grown absolutely ill, 3 r.nd Colonel Stanhope begged her one e evening to let him take her out into [1 the air. She consented, and he brought s around his carriage. * She wished to go to the bridge, she 1 said. It was September weather, and the woodbine clinging to the old piers was red as blood. The blue sky was ' full of amber light, and there was a * young moon above them. * Stanhope tried very hard to cheer his 3 companion. He directed her attention 1 to the beauties of the scene, but the ouly words she spoke were: "Do you - hear the river?" The spirited horses were trotting I rapidly over the resounding floor of ? the bridge, when Cataline suddenly laid her hand on his arm. s "You have been very good to me. s Farewell!" she said, and sprang from the carriage, over the railing into the t river. Her dying shriek frightened the 1 horses. They ran away. Before Stanhope could gain control of them aud r bring them back to the spot, all trace t of the miserable girl was gone. The water was calm and a few red leaves - of the woodbine floated down its cur rent. Her body never was found. It t probably went down to the ocean. 5 And now Stanhope, with the traces - cf this melancholy event upon him, i came back to us. He seemed puzzled i by carries reserve. "What Lave I done to offend ber?" I lie asked me. i "You bad best ask ber," I said. He went to ber as she stood in the i little flower room among her plants, t and at the first word of love and long ing the dear girl melted. Then it came t out that she had believed that he loved - Cataline Rieci. J "Love her?that stormy, half-crazed, i foreign girl! I never dreamed of mart rying her, or she of marrying me. Her uncle persecuted her on my account: ? I could not help being kind to her. I I was very sorry for her and she knew i it; but, Carrie, my little, soft-haired, - brown-eyed pet, I was never so wild as i to think of making her my wife. And , now wil! you forgive me that I have i seemed to forget j-ou?" i Her white arms crept up to his neck. ; This much I saw and heard through the open door, and then I very pru} dently retired from sight. But Carrie t and Stanhope are marriea now.?Aew i York "Weekly. i > j Tlie Last of the Laurel ? A new danger has arisen to the mountain laurel, which is the most important American wild flower that is " in danger of extermination. The spoon * and ladle manufacturers and the fur? niture makers have for some tirnt wrought great havoc among the rho 1 dendrons and kalmais, and now the ' pipe makers are after the roots of thr * laurel. The mountain laurel ought never to be used for Christmas decora. * tions. It ie too rare and choice a plant. 0 and always will be.

This NEGLIGEE WITH STOLE COLLAR. one can be gathered or accordion pleated as preferred, and includes the fashionable wide collar with stole ends. The model is made of pale pink crepe albatross with the collar of white, edged with a pretty fancy braid, but any soft or pliable fabric is appropriate nnd the collar can be of the material, of contrasting color, or of silk on wool as may be liked. The negligee consists of a shallow ' yoke to which the fronts and back are joined, the full sleeves and the ? jnrck fn 11 f?r hp f >V1UC A uv v?w . v? low the elbows and snugger above and are gathered into straight cuffs. When accordion pleating is preferred both the fronts and back are cut of sufficient width and are finely pleated before being joined to the yoke. The collar is arranged over the shoulders and seamed to the neck, its stole finishing the front. A Late Design The quantity of material required for the medium size is five and fiveeighth yards twenty-one inches wide, five and three-eighth yards twenty-seven inches wide, or three and oneeighth yards forty-four inches wide, when negligee is gathered; seven and one-eighth yards twenty-one, six and seven-eighth twenty-seven, or three .and seven-eighth forty-four inches wide, when it is accordion pleated, with three-quarter yards of contrasting material for collar and three yards of fancy braid to trim as illustrated. Lace la Inapt. Much of the lace is iuset. much of it is applique; deep lace flounces are worn, and lace fichus looped on to the bodice with cords and heavy tassels. Many lace blouses appear above the deep belts and the soft tied sashes of silk, and lace blouses and others all open at the back. Old Point, Mechlin and thread laces have distinct uses, as opposed to the heavier makes; colored laces accompany every sort of gown, but they require to be matched to perfection. Pretty Neckwear. Any woolen waist, ami especially colored ones, are made twice as attractive if, instead of tight linen collars, airy lace or embroidered linen or lawn ties are worn with them. This is a little feminine touch never omitted by a Frenchwoman. The fine handker rry i HijsKA m* chief cravat, easily made at home, is pretty, and the innumerable dainty and fragile neck pieces for sale in the shops are also wound twice around the neck and fastened with a gold pin at the throat. Any of these lighten cloth or flannel waists wonderrully. Flower Applique*. The application of flowers to a gown is not at all difficult, and, if carefully cut out of the velvet there will be no frayed edges, nothing to mar the completeness of the flower. These bunches or the single flowers can be used upon the finest and thinnest of dinner gowns with the very best results in every case. The One-Piece Sleeve. One piece bishop sleeves fit the upper arm closely. They are very wide at the lower edge, where the fullness is gathered into narrow wristbands. A>UUi tc un*m;p? The vogue of the deep belt, or girdle, appears to gain adherents week by week until no wardrobe is considered complete that does not include one or more. These varying styles suit the needs of varying figures and are some full, some plain. As illustrated No. 1 is made of black liberty satin, No. 2 of black and white taffeta, No. 3 of peau de cynge, and No. 4 of crepe de chine, but any of the materials used for bodices of the sort are appropriate and the color can be made to suit the demands of the special gown. The girdles consist of the foundation, which is shaped and fitted to the figure and is used for all, and the full portion of each. No. 1 is shaped and shirred on indicated lines, then arranged over the by May Manton. foundation, which is boned in order to retain its shape. No. 2 is cut in sections which are arranged oyer the ! foundation and held by lacings, the j whole being boned at back, siuts and front vNu. 3 consists of three portions, which are laid in folds, the centre of the foundation at front and back and the outer portion shaped to give a pointed effect at the front where it terminates, and one end is passed through an ornamental ring or buckle. No. 4 is similar to No. 1, but is narrower and shows fewer shirrings, so being better adapted to the waists of IUJ oti D1I.C, The quantity of materia] twenty-one inches wide required for the medium size is one yard for No. 1. three-fourth yard for No. 2. one and one-eighth BODICE GIRDLES. yards for No. 3, and seven-eighth yards for No. 4.

(To make honey cake melt a cupful of butter and mix it with two cupfuls of strained honey, a tablespoonful of ginger, a grated nutmeg, a bit of lemon rind and a little flour. Dissolve a heap- i ing teaspooaful of soda in a cupful of j water and strain into the mixture. ! Then add flour till the mixture is stiff enough to roll out. Bake like gingerbread. This cake may be eaten warm or cold. Hot Potato Salad. Put into a frying pan one-fourth of & pound of bacon cut into dice; when light brown take out and saute in the fat a small onion cut line. Add onehalf as much vinegar as fat, a few grains of salt and cayenne, and onehalf as much vinegar. Have ready the potatoes boiled in skins. Remove the skins and slice hot into the frying pan enough to take up the liquid. Add the diced bacon, toss together and serve. Rice Griddle Cakes. For rice griddle cakes aad honey boil a cupful of rice. When it is cold mix thoroughly with one pint of sweet milk, the yolks of four eggs and anough flour to make a stiff batter. Add one tablespoonful of melted butter, one tablespooful of soda, two of cream of tartar and a little salt. Fold In the beaten whites of the eggs and bake on a hot griddle. As fast as baked, butter, spread with honey, roll up and serve hot. Canned Pumpkin. It may be stewed as for pies, placed boiling hot in glass jars and sealed auieklv or cut into inch cubes. Dare. scrape out seeds and stringy part, cook In clear water or very weak syrup until tender enough to eat, then place in glass jars and seal while boiling hot. Some housekeepers use the cold water process with great success. This answers nicely if the pumpkin is not to be kept very long, and when canned in this manner it can be cooked and used in any way desired. Green Tomatoes and Onions. A delicious pickle may be made of green tomatoes and onions. Slice one peck of green tomatoes and half a peck of white onions. Put them in a press in layers of salt. In two days place them in a porcelain lined kettle, and just cover them with vinegar. Add an ounce of whole cloves, one ounce of allspice, two ounces of mustard seed and five large red peppers, shredded in small pieces. When all the pickles are scalding hot pour them into stone jars, and when cold cover them closely. Luru tuuwutr, Chop fine one-quarter of a pound cf fat salt pork, put into a deep kettle with two large white onions, chopped fine, and cook for ten minutes without browning. Add one pint of raw potatoes cut into half-inch dice and sufficient boiling water to cover. Cook for ten minute?, add one pint of corn cut or scraped from the ear, salt and pepper to taste and simmer for fifteen minutes longer. Have ready one pint of milk made into a thin sauce with one tablespoonful of butter and one and a half tablespoonfuls of flour. Add to the chowder with more seasoning if necessary and boil up twice. Household Talks. Where a strong, clear heat is re quirea, as ior Droning, a niue cDarcoa; thrown on a coal fire will produce the desired flame. Colored wash goods will hold their color if immersed for three hours before washing in one gallon of cold water, to which has been added one tablespoonful of ordinary turpentine. There is a sound hygienic reason for 6ervlng some acid, such as a salad, with oil and vinegar, a section of lemon or a pickle with fish. The 60ur is needed to neutralize the alkalis of the fish. A safe bleaching fluid can be made by adding the strained juice of one lemon to a quart of cold water. Spread th( cloth which it is desired to whiten upon the grass in the sun, and wet several times a day. It may take a long time to "whiten it perfectly, but tlie process is sure, and it will not rot the cloth. To make clam bouillon wash and scrub thoroughly with a stiff brush two quarts of smajl clams in their 6hells. Cook in one quart of water till the shells open. Remove from the fire, strain the liquor, take the clams out of the shell, reheat the juice, season with pepper, salt and butter and serve in cups, adding to each a teaspoonful of whipped cream. Finely chopped raddish hearts, grated Parmesan cheese and whipped cream make a delicious sandwich filling, it is said. The radishes should be oeeled and chopped very fine and set away cn the ice till the last minute. When needed, mix with a little stiffly .whipped cream, spread the mixture on o clif'o nf hrnwn hrp.nrV flit thin anci sprinkle lightly with the grated cheesf before pressing the second slice down close upon it.

Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from tne highest to the lowest. 1 oKavot Vio inHfifkr flrfiflan. the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher?all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continually in the house. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman he 6ays: Ask Your Druggist for a free Why the Lawytr'i Wife Got New Dreaiei The lawyers at Iola were swapping yarns one day during a recess in the district court. A lawyer whose wife is marked for her good dressing told how he had come to be such a good provider. Soon after he was married his wife met a girlhood friend. The friend said to her that she wasn't as well dressed as she used to be before marriage. "Oh, you are mistaken," said the wife. "I am wearing the same clothes I did then."?Kansas City Journal.
