A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament, Eer eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair. But all things else about her drawn From May time and the cheerful dawn? A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle and waylay. 1 saw her, upon nearer view, A spirit, yet a woman, too: Ber household motions light and free And steps of virgin liberty, A eountenanoe in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet? A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food. For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blauie, love, kisses, tears and smilee And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine, A being breathing thoughtful breath, A traveler between life and death, The reason firm, the temperate will, i \ Endurance, foresight, strength and skill, A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort and command, And yet- a spirit still and bright With something of an angel light. ?Wordsworth. MY MANAGEMENT. I began my plana^-as soon as Uncle Hank's funeral was fairly over. Perhaps it might have been a little before. Certain it was that I did not care to go away out west for that occasion and reflected that he would not at this time be able to take umbrage at the sight. The very thought of his great barnlike old house standing in the midst of great bleak pastures filled with ferocious cattle and bounied by wind twisted draws gave me a spall of tho horrors. How Uncle Henry (I ought to call him by that name now he's dead) ever made such a great fortune out there I never couia understand, except that it was by stock raising. Well, he was gone now, and all of his thousands could come into civilized use. They were all left to my cousin Charlie, his only child. Uncle Henry had been a widower for so many years that I cannot picture any time when he could have been uu&er a woman's influence. No need to say that life for Charlie had been barren of anything like pleasure unless helping accumulate money could be called pleasure. I believe mankicd does consider it such, but womankind takes another view of the matter. Charlie was a most comfortable sort or Doy, ana ior nis sake I had spent some little time every otl er year in the far west in order that the boy might have an idea of what woman is like. Now he was in fall possession of that immense fortune,, and I mast see to it that he had a future that should recompense for such a past. Just 23 he was and not a bad looking fellow after I had helped him into the right sort of clothes. The thing was, of oourse, to marry him to one of my friends and so put the money where we all might have a little comfort from it. If I have one trait of which I am just-^ ly proud, it is my ability to manage, and I determined that this country cousin of mine should marry one of our most attractive girls. " We'll go into the country this summer, Alfred," I said to my husband, "and take a few people for Charlie to meet. He will be all right in the country, but I must confess he must serve a full probation before I undertake a town seasou with Jaim. I hope I may marry him before then." "To some one else, I presume. May j ask whom?" "I shall invite Mae Hatherell." Alfred drew a long breath. "You aim high for the young galoot." "Well, I would love to have Mae for ' a cousin. She is the sweetest girl I know." "No doubt Charlie will think so, too, ? ? * %<r _ , _ JS A.L. I 3 out Miss Mae is one ui uie uauusuiuesb young ladies in the city, aside from her music. She thinks she could go. on the stage, if she wanted to, and stagestruok girls are hard to catch." "No money could hire Mae to go on the stage," I responded, all the more emphatically because I fear I am not in the right. "Of course not, since she has money enough anyway, but there are other considerations. Any one else?" "That pretty little Carroll Churchill." "Ycxsareall right there. She will have to marry money, and Charlie will have a chance, if he doesn't fall in love with Mae, which he is certain to do. Wiil you take Alice and Frank?" The last named are an engaged couple who go with ns everywhere; so, of course, that is understood. Now comes the question I am expecting from my '? worthy husband: "Will there be any one I can enjoy myself with?" I know well enough whom he wants, and since it is going to be a little more expensive before I am through with it than he now knows, and also because I am wise enough to know that only a foolish woman will attempt to avoid the lady her husband openly admires, I hunacr him and say: "I shall surely ask Constance." ..r-TT'il J tj: ? I " ?mi soe come, uu yuu luuin..- aia interest is lively enough now. "I happen to know that she wants just snch a quiet little time this summer. She is tired of going places." "I'd ask her right away before any one else does, if I were you," and I know very well Alfred won't let the matter rest until it is settled. Constance Alerrick was a friend of mine when I was a girl, but if one has every reason to suspect that sh8 refused the very man I married it is not a pleasant reflection, even after I have been married to him nine years and over and she is still free. (Free is a better word than single as applied to her, though I wrote that first.) If ever any one enjoys freedom, it is Constance. No one ever thinks of how far she is past 30, if they knew of it, although year after year she has been the principal personage in our social circle. There is nothing handsome about her, except that wonderful yellow red hair of hers. Eat she is young with a Cleopatra kind of youth and interesting beyond any woman I ever saw. She has no especial accomplishments, only that knack of interesting every man, woman or child upon whom she cares to spend her time. Stie likes marriea men. cue says it is because they can't take it into their heads to marry her, and I believe her when she says it, for she has refused every man who ever did aspire to sacb a thing, and I don't donbt that they are legion. I say all this of her honestly, and yet I don't like her, even though I like her company. I like young girls who are not so smart, who confide in me and tell #ne I am the dearest little woman on earth, girls like Mae, Alice and Carroll. My management is always perfect. Therefore we had just the people I want ed and jn*t the charming little country place. (Charlie helped with the nut.) Charlie was indeed quite superior to what I had expected of him. They considered his loud way of laughing so realistic. His ruddy features were a pleasant change from the other young men. He was just bashful enough to give him an individuality. That is, he could talk well enough to the entire lot of ladies, but with one alone he was tongue tied, and he would rather that Alfred turned Mae's music fcr her. Before two weeks passed Mae said to me, <4I think young men from the west are far more interesting than those ono meets here." In the excess of my joy I put both bauds on her shoulders and looked right into her eyes. "Do yon really mean that, dear?" and she pushed me away in a playfully vexed manner, but admitted that of course she did. ?U. > JJUS.il WO! UJCU1.

I noticed in the meantime that in his bashfulness he dared Dot attach himself to any of the ladies except Constance. This had escaped my attention before, but she could no doubt draw out the best there was iu him and surely she was very patient with him, allowing him to usurp Alfred on several occasions, which I felt to be self denial on her part. "Are you going to drive to the village with Constance?" I hailed that worthy on his way to the stables. "Guess not," he replied shortly. "She and Charlie are going on their wheels. He's gone in now to put on his suit." Up to Charlie's room I rushed, catching sight of his ccattailsas I turned the sta;rs. Calling him to wait a moment I hurried into his room before he had time to repross me. "There, now, I have never a chance to see yen a moment unless I scheme i for it. I w ant to talk to you. You don't want to change your suit anyway. I've j something better on hand for you this evening than cycling with Miss Merrick." "Couldn't possibly have anything better, coz," he said, diving into the closet and bringing out his suit. "Yes I have too. Now put those things down and don't hurry me." "But MissMerirck will bo waiting." "Oh, no, Constance won't care. She would much rather ride with Alfred, and I have ?omething lovely to tell you about Mae." "Bother Mae! What do I want to know about her?" "Why, Charlie, I am surprised at you." "I don't know why you 6hould be, when I have an engagement with another young lady. I don't care anything about Mae, anyway." "You don't?" ~ "Certainly not if there is a chance cnonrlino t?n hnnr n-ifh Mica Vfpr. 1U1 o^uutug UU -WW ?? rck, "and Charlie actually kicked off his shoes and went into the closet again after his tans. "Cousin Charles," I said in alarm, "what do you mean? Constance Merrick is older than I am, a good ten years older than you." Charlie dropped his shoes. "This is the first time I ever heard you allude to your age in such a way. Mate, 1 supposed you were about two years younger than myself." "You are making fun, of course. She is, thought" "If she were one of Noah's daughters, I must still say I prefer a bicycle ride in her company to anything that you may hatch up for this evening, and you really must excuse me while I get ready." "I will not go one step until you tell me. Are you in love with Constance Merrick?" He bent down and tied his shoestring and locked no with blushes enough for a girl and said gently: '*t)on't ask so many questions, Mattie.!* And then he went into the closet and shut the door. I knew if I didn't want him to smother in there I must give up and go down stairs again. Late that night I took Alfred to task in words full of meaning: "Why haven't you kept Constance out of Charlie's way? The young greenhorn is in love with her." "Good enough. Suppose it'll make a match:" I cannot bear Alfred when he talks like tnat. "As if Constance would marry the king and all his courtiers!" "I should hope not," said that provoking man, "though I doubt not she sings better in a chorus choir than a duet." There is nothing to do with such a : stupid man but let him go to sleep, but in the morning my mind was made up. I would send for Laurance Radmore. It was the only way out of the difficulty. Mr. Radmore was the one man that it was thought possible Constance might marry. The two were just made for each other. Every one realized it. He was the grandest looking man I ever saw, although his features were positively ugly, with that great Roman nose and sharp gray eyes. It was his shoulders and the way he carried his head that made you think he was some great personage, and when you listened iu mm litiA )uu tviicvy uulo wui ma was a greater intellect than any other in the assembly, no matter of whom it was composed. Mr. Radmore and Constance had a profound admiration for I Doctors Can't Cure It! % Contagious blood poison is absolutely beyond the skill of the doctors. They may dose a patient for years on their mercurial and potash remedies, but he will never be rid of the disease; on the other hand, his condition will grow steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure for this terrible affliction, because it is the only remedy which goes direct to the cause of the disease and forces it from the system. I -was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the best doctors did me no pood, though I took t their treatment faithfully. In fact, I seemed to pet worse all the while. I took almost every so-called blood remedy, but they did not seem to reach the disease. and had 110 effect whatever. I was disheartened. for it seemed that I would never be cured. At the advice of a friend I then took S. S. S., and bepan to imwy m .* / prove. I continued the medicine, and It cured me completely, building up my health and increasing my appetite. Although" this was ten years ago, I have never yet had a sign o* the disease to return. W. R. Newman*. Staunton, Ya.

I knew he would accept my invitation, and when ho did so I felt a little touch of conscience. A person of my sagacity would hardly be expected to invite a man like Mr. Radmore into n nnrnnanv r,f nirls like Mao. Alice and Carroll. Iink-eil I did not know what excuse I should make to their oammas, but, in spite of the past record of Lauranee Radmore, something must bo done to save Charlie from his pending fate. Constance, of coarse, was above reproach, no matter whose record was in question. The morning that Mr. Radmore arrived Charlie and Constance had gone ever to a neighboring sheep farm to get a pet lamb for her. It seemed to mo that she might have found Charlie lamb enough, if her taste was for pets of that sort. She looked very witching with the white little bit of a thing cuddled in her arms against-a trim black gown and the sunnsiiine on her yellow hair. To hear her laugh you would not have believed that she could not sing a note or that she was an hour over 20. Mr. Radmore was a surprise to her, and she gave me a look that said very plainly, "Oh, I understand!" But she determined to keep Charlie at beck and call. Yet even for the pleasure of spiting me she conld net- keep to her resolution and devote her time to him. The fascinatinti T?a^mnfo nnccrsccorl fnv hor urns HUU liUUUlViV/ v* *V* ?JV* II MW too great, and lie bad uot been there two days till I saw with delight that Charlie was left to his own devices. The dear boy was not very good natured over it. He suspected my maneuver and at once turned to Alfred for sympathy. I suppose they had a mutual cause against Mr. Radinore, and for that reason they were drawn toward each other. At any rate, Charlie refrained from giving me any confidences. Consequently much that I relate from this on is gathered from Alfred's observation and subsequent confidences. Alfred is not one of those perfect husbands that for the most part belong to widows; bnt, thank fortune, he will sooner or later tell his wife all matters of interest that come to his knowledge. Constance and Mr. Radmore glided easily into their familiar relations, and Charlie showed all his early bringing up by becoming at once the most uninteresting of farmers. Laurance Radmore used to look at him with those quizzical gray eyes and smile knowingly. One day he said to Constance, "It's a pity that country boy has fallen in love with you." "Indeed you compliment mo, but your surmise is not correct." Then Mr. Radmore assumed his judicial air and said, "You would not try to tell me that you are not cognizant of an affair of this nature, with all your experience?" "The boy has been too bashful to pay attention to any one else, and I have helped him cut. I have not done a bit of mischief. I may have bothered Mae a little, as sbe -wants to marry him to one cr the other cf the girls." "And you have made that an impossibility for him." "Well, no, though I fancy he is not in love with either cf them." "Which ho would be had you allowed him." "Mr. R a dm oi 9, yea aro erasperating." "No. I am exasperated." "By me?" "Thou sayest it. The boy has the making of a fine fellow, but bis experience with you wiilhruiu him." "Nonsense. The little attention I have shown him will give him an insight into woman's ways, and it will be easier for him to succeed when he really falls in love." "He will not fall in love again." "Rash statement. He is but 22." "Alen never love but once." "You are increasing in rashness. 'Who most has loved the best can love again.' " "That applies only to women. A woman's first love affair paves the way for all others. I?s only value to her is by way of experhuce and to sentimentalize ever, like her first ball." " Ycu dare asseit that men have but one love?" "Only cue in which they take the leading role*. In .*.11 others the woman leads. That is, they do the loving, and men delight in the flattery cf being loved. That's why men marry." "Do they never marry for love?" "The instances are rare. Every story turns out that way, but in real life it takes a detective to find such a case." "And the result when they do?" "Ynn ninst draw on vour most rose colored imagination." "You intend I should accept this as your candid observation?" "As the truth itself. I speak as a man who knows, and I respect your intellect too highly to try to deceive you." "Well," she said, rising, with a pretty gesture of conviction, "I believe I'll marry Charlie, and then I'll know as much about it as you do." He was on his feet as if aided by electricity. "No, you will not," and then he qualified his statement, "because in ten years you will have outgrown him. He is still in infancy, while you are 32 years old." "Do you know," she smiled sweetly, "that my mother is G7 years old and a few weeks ago an insurance agent wanted to write her a policy at -12':" "And you expect to discount your age 25 years likewise?" "Not just yet, but I never mean to be any older than 1 wish, and a love such as you have hinted at ought to prove an elixir of youth." She married Charlie before the winter season commenced, and I have the bitter certainty that Constance Merrick will get to spend all that money without availing herself in the slightest of my management. As to Mae, Charlie says if be and his wife want music they can enjoy it at the Grand Opera. Well, of course they can afford it.?E. D. Garloch in Omaha World-Herald.

A consis ently conservative policy has always characterized ihe editorial conduct of this journal. And we think this had no s nali share in winning our place in the public confidence. For it is universally rt cognized that we only express a decided opinion after mature n fLciiou and exbastive, impartial exa ninatiou o: every sub ject we discuss. benever a remedy or a novel method for the treatment of disease appears the American Journal of Health, conscious of the duty it owes its readers, first investigates aud then speaks. We take nothing tor {.ranted- neiihtr the advertismentsof the remedy iteell or the \ rimed testimonials as to the cures it has eff c.:ed influences our judgment 0 dy when we buve conviuoed oarstlves by actual demonstration of ihe truth do \v? undertake tr pnbiish our vi ws. 1 hen our views are positive, because they are based on knowl edge, and they (ither praise or blame the particular remedy strictly according to its merits. An instance where w 5 can bestow our praise occurs in the case ot ' Dr. Thachtr's Worm >y;np," off-red by tbeTbaeh rM-dicine Coinpanv, ol Ch t anooga Tern We have verified the record ot this remedy as au infallible sp> c;fic lor vouus Wo sati*fied ourselves of the genuineness of this specific; we intrusted the matter to a medica1 man of long and varied experience, and for many years connected \ ith this jrurnal in au editorial capacity. His report <s conclusive proof that here we h.ivo a remedy which is not a palliative simply, batacure. 11saving tbis we are awure mat we assert a great deal, but we are also cctfi lent that we are not asserting too much.

B:t in ' Dr. Thacher's Worm Syrup" si:fl r-. rs have found, end we are satisfied will find, that permanent benefit wbich it is the prime purpose of medical ski 1 to bestow.

And a vast d fierance exists between the two terms-one means a temporary relief, the other compl te emancipation from the bonds of disease. Science is progressive and constantly endeavoring to accomplish new things. The old methods must yield when ihev are outclassid by Irish discoveries. And medical science especially, while conservative, is not so to a degree which prohibits its recognition ot the demonstrated worth ol a snocesstnl advance rpon the older methods. "Dr Thatcher's Worm Syrup" really represents an advance in the ondical trtatment of disease and conseqat n:ly deserves cur endorsement.

Near the village of Mold, in Flintshire, Wales, there existed from time immemorial an old burial mound, something after the character of those rude earthworks known in this conntry as Indian mounds. The soperstitions Welsh peasantry called the mound the "Hill of the Fairies." A road nearby led to the market town. Along this one night in 1527 a woman was returning home. Suddenly she was frightened out of her senses to see rise from the mound the skeleton of a man, which was clothed in a vestment of shining gold. With a shriek of fright the woman fled away, and for years no one dared go near the ? - - ' Ki. T"^ 11 i.| J _ pinco at mgut. rjnajjy me mouuu was cleared away for fanning purposes.
