Q Br SUSAN HUBBABD MARTIN. ^
She was waiting in Madam Jack
son's dressmaking parlors, where the
large easy chair nearly enveloped her
small, shrinking figure.
She was not old, not more than thir
ty-five, but already the bloom and
beauty of her youth had gone. There
were streaks of: gray in her brown
hair; fine lines revealed themselves
under the sad eyes. The cheeks wera
pal and a trifle 'sunken, and the hands,
folded over a parcel in her lap, wera
rough and calloused. Whoever she
was, life had gone hard with her.
Madam Jackson came in.- "You
wished .to see me?" she asked.
Madam Jackson was a large, Impos
-ing-looking woman, clad in a rich black
dress.
The little woman rose timidly.
"Yes'm," she answered. "I- want
you to make me a dress If you will.
I've made all my own clothes ever
since John and I were married. They
haven't been very many, either," she
added. "But this is something differ
ent. JWe live on-a tarra, and we raise
fruit "and "vegetables for market Ev
ery year John has said to me, 'Well,
Lottie, I guess this fall we can afford
that blue dress.' "
She unrolled her package carefully
and .-smoothed out the cloth it con
tained with a tender hand.
"I was to have had this blue dress
the second year we were married,"
she explained. "I was young then
but somehow something always hap
pened. Often we'd have a dry year,
then again we'd have to buy an extra
plow? or maybe a cow would die, or
something else would come up, so-I
never was able to get the dress until
now, and we've been married sixteen
years. The last thing John said to me
when he gave me the money was,
'Now, Lottie, don't buy anything but
a blue dress, and just forget how long
you've waited for if
"I'm afraid, though," she added, with
a wistful little sigh, "it's too late to
look well on me. You see getting up
at half past two in the morning to be
ready for market will make any one
old, and I've worked hard. Sometimes
we have six men to cook for; that is in
lr. the busy season."
Madam Jackson, took the roll of
cloth in her hands. It was a soft,
beautiful blue, fine and rich in texture,
but it could make a dress suitable
only for a young girl ; some one with
rosy cheeks and golden hair and dim
ples. It was so far from being appro
priate fer the little, stooping figure
opposite.
Madam looked Trindly at the pale
little woman. "I'm afraid," she began,
"you'll find this color a little trying.
A black or a gray, or perhaps a dark
brown would be more becoming. You
understand-" ' .
understand, but if you only knew how
all these years I've wanted that blue
dress! ' Something different from any
thing I've had. Ah, you needn't tell
me! I know I'm faded and old, but,
oh, I do not want that bit of color
for my own! If I can't wear it, I can
at least look at it."
A large tear shone in worldly Mad
am Jackson's eye-and she was not
much given to tears. "Very well," she
answered; aDd then followed a discus
sion of lining and thread.
The woman came again in a few
days to have the dress fitted, m one
hand she carried a basket of purple
grapes with the bloom still on them.
"I've brought you these," she said
to the Sressmaker. "I picked them
myself "early this morning."
"Thank you so much!" was the
warm answer. "I de'arly love grapes,
and those are especially fine."
In a few minutes the blue dress went
on over the thin little figure. Some
how its bright hue seemed a mockery.
/lt brought out so" clearly the rray
' hairs that would have been softened
by a more sober color. The pale
cheeks, too, looked whiter than be
fore.
,. The little woman saw her reflection
in the tall mirror opposite, and sighed.
"You were quite right," she said,
slowly; "a darker color would have
been best, and yet-somehow I
.couldn't give it up. I've thought about
it so mucb all these years. Why, of
ten when the work was nardest and
the days longest, Tve said to myself,
'Never mind, Charlotte, some of these
days you're going tb' have a beautiful
blue dress,' and the hope of it some
how kept me up."
"I understand," Madam Jackson
said, gently.
In a few days the dress wa3 done.
The customer came for it one morn
ing, in a wagon driven by a tall, broad
shouldered man with a rugged, weatu
er-beaten face.
"Her husband," thought Madam
Ja?kson, looking out of the window.
The pale little woman came hurried
ly in. "John came with me today,"
she said, smiling, "and the dress-oh,
isn't it beautiful!"
The blue gown lay across a chair.
Madam Jackson had 3one well with it.
It was finisled off with silk of the
same shade, and there was a pretty
lace collar and soft, fine ruffles of lace
at the wrists.
"You must let me see you in it be
fore you go," Madam Jackson said.
As the dress was being fastened, a
faint color stole into the woman's
. white cheeks.
"Isn't it pretty?" she whispered,
wonderingly. "The very prettiest
thing I ever had! It seems wrong
somehow for me to have it now. Some
body young and beautiful ought to
wear it. If only I could have had it
years ago!"
Madam Jackson's left fingers were
busy with the brown hair touched
. with silver, combed so severely back.
"You must not wear your hair quite
so plain," she said. "A looser effect
softens the face wonderfully. There,
that it is better."
She straightened the lace at the
t throat and settled he skirt. "Wait a
moment," she added, stepping into the
next room. When Bhe returned, she
held a dainty lace-trimmed handker
chief, fine as a spider's web. She
tucked it into the rough little hand.
"A present from me," she said, light
ly. "When you wear C?e dresB you
must carry that?"
Over the thin latee there swept a
beautiful flush.
"Is that for me?" she said, in an awe
struck voice. "Oh, thank you, thank
you!"
There was so much radiance in the
Icok that Madam Jackson was startled,
and then a wonderful thing happened.
For the moment it seemed as if the
years had rolled back, and the worn
face shone with its lost beauty and its
lost youth. $
The eyes were very bright, a tender
smile hovered over the tremulous
mouth, and Madam Jackson saw what
the woman must have been long ago,
before the hard years had robbed her
of her bloom.
"I wish John could see me," the lit
tle woman whispered.
As if in answer to her wish, there
came a knock at the door. Madam
Jackson opened it quickly.
"Come in, won't you?" sne said,
pleasantly. "Your wile is anxious to
have you see her in her new dress."
The man entered. When the blue
gowned, radiant vision faced him. he
started. "Why, Lottie, he said, "why
my dear, is it really you?"
"Do you like it, John?" s"'e said.
"Like it! Why, you 100k just as
you did when we were married, only
somehow, sweeter and dearer." and
then, regardless of Madam Jackson in
the background, ho took the small
woman in his arms and kissed her on
her glowing cheeks.
A few minutes later Madam Jackson
stood at the window and watched them
drive away with thc blue dress care
fully wrapped up. The flush still lin
gered on the little woman's f?ce as
she waved a last good-by.
Madam Jackson waved back. She
knew that before long the flush would
fade from her friend's cheek, the
lines would come back, the cares re- ?
turn. The burdens must be taken up
again.
There would come, too, the weary
hours and the lonely ones that must
be lived through. The blue dress
would be folded away as something
sacred, seldom worn, but never forgot
ten. There would be'something beau
tiful at least to look at in the bare old
farmhouse.
As the rattling wagon disappeared
Madam Jackson turned away from the
window with a smile that was half a
sigh.
"That blue dress-it as a success,
after al!," she . murmured.-Youth's
Companion.
QUAINTEST VILLAGE IN THE LAND.
Queer Little TOTTII in Ohio Where Knc
linh Is Never Spoken.
There is one village in the United
States where no modern improvement
has ever penetrated, where not the
faintest echo of the rush anu overwork
of modern life has ever sounded,
where American newspapers are not
read nor thc English language spoken.
This is the little German village'of
Glandorf, in Putnam county, Ohio,
where GOO frugal and industrious in
habitants have lived for years in a
contented and idyllic simplicity.
In the building of the town, as In
everything else about it the people
have held very closely to the customs
of Germany, from where its founders
came. There is but one street, and
that extends for over a mile, general
ly north and south. Quaint, durable
and homelike are the houses scattered
along either side, interspersed hero.
and there by the stores. All th^-r?si
dences have spacious anO?^vell-kept
dooryards. Back andjf!vay from this
principal street-^f^o near that the
lab?orei>T.w^-.a#e seen and heard at
nuTeir work, in the fields-stretch the
thrifty farms of*the German country
folk. It is not an uncommon sight to
see women and girls at work in tae
fields with tho men, and the whole
population shows that rugged health
so characteristic of the race.
Among themselves the people con
verse almost entirely in tho German
language, and, indeed, there are a
great many in the community who can
speak no other. They are generous
and clever, and the stranger who goes
among them always finds a hospitable
welcome, and is impressed with their
simple kindness. Nowhere can be
found a more devoutly religious peo
ple. They are of the Catholic faith,
and possess one of thc finest church
buildings in Northwestern Ohio.
This edifice has in itself been means
of making Glandorf famous, because
of its size and the beauty of its archi
tecture. Although most of the work
of construction, the quarrying of the
stone for the foundation and the haul
ing of the material was given gratia
by members of the parish, the cost
outside of all this was over $50,000.
The structure is of brick and is orna
mented with white sandstone.
Back of the church is the convent,
and all of the work of the farm con
nected with it is looked after by the
sisters.
The people, of the parish are very
strict in their church duties.

Proper Wny to Koli tritton
To boil water is an apparently sim
ple operation, and yet it is said ihat
many people do not know how to do
it. According to an authority the se
cret consists in putting fresh water
into a kettle already warm and set
ting the water to boil quickly. When
thc boiling point is reached the water
should be used at once for making
tea, coffee or other drinks, and not
allowed to steam, simmer and evapor
ate until the good water is in the at
mosphere and the lime, iron and dregs
only left in the kettle. Water boiled
in thc manner described and flavored
with a little lemon juice is often rec
ommended to those suffering from
loss of appetite.
Thc Decorative Pluto Shelr.
An attractive addition to dining
.room or den is a plate shelf, eight or
ten inches in width. In the dining
room it may extend all around, if de
sired, to hold ornamental china, steins,
pitchers or other objects of which the
housekeeper has a collection.
The height should conform to the
wall decoration, and the shelf may be
as high as thc door casing with ad
vantage.
In a den or sitting room, where it is
Intended for bric-a-brac, photographs
and such trifles, it is better not to put
the shelving entirely around the room,
but in sections, and even at irregular
heights.
There is room for the display of a
good deal of taste in the placing of
the plate rack. The articles that are
to stand upon it, the furniture of the
room, tho arrangement of doors and
windows, all have to be taken into con
sideration. Thc finish of the shelf,
too, is of importance. Ijt is better to
match the woodwork vi the room, if
possible.
Snve the Scrnpn of Wnll I'nper.
No scraps of wall paper should be
thrown away. They can be utilized in
a dozen different and pretty ways.
One of the charming things makable
from them is a lamp shade. Cartridge

as invisibly as possible. Bind the top
and bottom o? the shade with a nar
row strip of smooth paper, paper bor

are so good that many women now

starch rollah.
"Where's thc starch polish?" called
the new girl on Monday, after the
manner of "new girls" who take it for
granted that all the special require
ments of "my way of doin' things"
must be at hand when demanded.
This particular variety of starch pol
ish was not on hand on this occasion,
however, and the process of prepar
ing it was watched with interest. One
ounce of pure white wax was mixed
with two ounces of spermateci and a
large pinch of salt. When melted anl
thoroughly blended this was poured in
to a cup to become cold, and it soon
formed a hard white cake that will
not mould or sour.
A piece about the size of a grain of
corn is put into sufficient hot starch
for two or three shirts. Then, in iron
ing, after pressing well once, the
ironed surface is dampened with a
clean, soft, damp cloth and rubbed
with the iron until glossy. The iron
.must be moderately hot-if too hot
the shirt bosom will become yellow
during the polishing; if too cool it
will take longer to give the right pol
ish.-Philadelphia Recori.

I have used Ripans for several
years in my general practice as a
first-class extempore remedy for
late dinners' distress, and have
carried them in my vest pocket in

often passed one to an adjacent

Prussia has 200 meteorological sta
tions fully equipped, 2,200 rain-gauge
stations, and 1,400 stations that re
cord storms and unusual phenomena.
The results of their observations are
reduced and published for each week,
for each month, and for each year.
Provided little tin is present alumi
num is an exceptionally useful In
gredient in yellow brass. It makes
the useful metal run more free?y and
enables mucL cleaner and sounder
castings to be made. The best bras*
founders are accustomed to use alumi
num for all cheap yellow brass work
that is to be used for sand castings;
it is not a desirable ingredient in
brass intended for rolling.
Railway traveling in Russia is pro
verbially slow, but has not the com
pensating advantage of safety, judg
ing from some statistics furnished by
the ministry of ways and communi
cations. The latest compiled data are
for the year 1900, in which year there
wero 4447 accidents; that is, on an
average, about a dozen per day. Ol
this total 1362 were derailments, 750
collisions and 2335 of various other
descriptions. Altogether 1226 persons
were killed and 6933 injured.
Dr. C. K. Leith, who is preparing a
monograph on the great Mesabi iron
range of Minnesota for the United
Slates Geological Survey, says that
the rapid development of this range,
since its discovery 10 years ago, has,
in itself, been sufficient to give Airlr
ican steel manufacturers the advan
tage in foreign markets. It is the
greatest iron range known in the
world, and tho amount of ore In s'.ght
on the Mesabi is roughly estimate 1
at 500,000,000 tons. Several of the
mines are shipping more than 1,000,
000 tons of ore a year.
Tho xerophytic, or drought-resistant,
wheats of Russia and Algeria were the
subject of discussion at a recent meet
ing of the Biological Society in Wash
ington. There are several groups of
this species of wheat, and they differ
from ordinary wheat not only in their
ability to resist the effects of drought,
but in their appearance. The heads
are big and flattened, with much chaff,
long beards and very large yellowish
white grains, which are extremely
hard and vlteous in fra- .ure and often
somewhat transparent. It is found
that these wheats are especially adapt
ed to the semi-arid plains from North
Dakota to Texas. They make excel
lent bread and aro particularly suit
able for macaroni.
Within the past year the population
of tiie so-called Colorado desert in
southern California has grown from
nothing to about a tnousand persons,
and a still more rapid increase is
looked for in the near future . Irriga
tion is turning the desert into farm
lands. It is calculated that 1,000,000
acres will have been reclaimed in this
manner, In southern California, Ari
zona and I-?wer California, within
two ur three years. These lands lie
In the basin of the Colorado river,
where the great heat and extreme dry
ness of the air are not unfavorable to
human beings, provided that plenty of
water is at hand. Most of the water
used in the new irrigation enterprises
comes from the river, but in southern
California much is also supplied by
Artesian wells. The irrigated land is
very fertile. .
QUICK CROWTH OF ELECTRICITY.
It IIin Twenty Year? Revolutionized
Trade.
Marvellous progress has been made
in the industrial applications of elec
tricity in recent year. It is little
over 20 years ago since electric lights
first were used commercially, and one
light only could then be obtained from
each dynamo. Scientific discoveries
were followed by American inventions
of the greatest importance. The man
ufacture of machines for the distribu
tion of the electric curreut made rapid
strides, and improvements were af
fected gradually until the types now
employed were reached. The fact
that machines which in the early days
of electric lighting were sufficient for
all requirements have had to be re
placed by more recent ones has great
ly developed this line of manufactur
ing, and in the construction and re
pair departments a large business is
constantly being done.
Long-distance transmission of pow
er is an element of much consequence
in electrical industrial developments.
Through this water power can be
utilized in places hitherto inaccessi
ble. In late years there have been
erected several important waterpower
plants at Niagara Falls, Montreal,
Blue Lakes and other places, and
lhere will soon be in operation at
Massena Falls a plant of 75,000 horse
power. In the Pacific coast mining
districts and elsewhere, long-distance
electrical transmission has made It
possible to work mines and Industries
requiring power which, on account
of great expenses of fuel, otherwise
it would have been impossible to op
erate.
Electricity ls gradually establishing
itself in heavy railway work. At pres
ent heavy freight trains are haulei
by electric locomotives on a number
of railroads. It has been taken up
with success in what had been long
the undisputed field of the steam
locomotive. Electrical development
has been steady and continuous, and
immense progress has been made by
it In the manufacturing field. '
The capital employed in the various
electrical industries is difficult to ap
proximate. It is enormously large,
however. Thousands of skilled work
men are kept busy. All branches of
the business are in a flourishing con
dition. They Jo much to help along

Next to bodily cleanliness, exercise
may ue reckoned as the greatest aid
to beauty. In fact, exercise is almost
necessary to cleanliness, for it is a
great incentive to perspiration, which
is nature's way of throwing the impu
rities of the body to the surface of the
skin, from whence they ure then re
moved by the use of water. Open-air
exercise should be taken every day,
but according to strength. One shouk'
return home after walking, riding JC
cycling with a sense of being pleasant
ly ?i-Mmied, but without any feeling of
exhaustion. Exercise should be taken
reguW.y, and, if possible, dumb-bells
should be used night and morning. The
corset should not be worn while exer
cising with dumb-bells. Skipping is
an excellent exercise for the figure, and
it is one of which our grandmothers
were fond. It is usual with children
to throw the rope forward when skip

"Pe-ru-na is an Excellent Spring Catarrh
Remedy-I am as Well as Ever."
HON. DAK. A. GROSVENOR, OF THE FAMOUS OHIO FAMILY.
Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in a let
ter "written from Washington, D. C., says:
" Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit
derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought won?
derful changes and I am now as well as ever. Besides being-one
of the very best spring tonics it is an excellent catarrh remedy."
-DAN. A. GROSVENOR.
In a recent letter he says:
"I consider Peruna really more meritorious than I did when
I wrote you last. I receive numerous letters from acquaintances
all over the Country asking mc if my certificate is genuine. I
Invariably answer, yes."-Dan. A. Grosvenor.
A Congressman's Leiter.
.Hon. II. W. Ogden, Congressman
from Louisiana, in a letter written at
Washington. D. C., says tbe following
of Peruna, the national catarrh rem
edy:
"I can corine tenuously recom
mend your Peruna as a fine tonic
and all around gond medicine to
those who arc in need of a catarrh
remedy. It has been commended to
me 01/ people who have used it, as a
remedy particularly effective in thc
cure of catarrh. For those who need
a good catarrh medicine 1 know of
nothing better."-11. W. Ogden.
Trent Catarrh In .Sprlnj;.
The spring is the time to treat ca
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh. If a course
of remua is taken during the early
spring months the cure will be prompt
and permanent There can be no fail
ures if Peruna is taken intelligently
during the favorable weather of spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Pe
runa eradicates catarrh from the sys
tem wherever it may be located. It
cures catarrh of the stomach or bow
els with the same certainty as catarrh
of the head.
