EVERY YEAR.
The spring has leas of brightness
Every ysnr,
And the snow a ghastlier whiteness
Every year;
Nor do summer flowers qu token.
Nor autumn fruitage thicken,
As they once did, for they stokes
Every year.
It grows darker, colder,
Every year;
As the heart and ecrnl grow older
Every year;
1 do not care for dancing.
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is lets and lees entrancing,
, Every year.
Of the loves and sorrows blended.
Every year;
Of the charms of friendship ended.
Every year;
OI the ties that still might bind me,
Until Time to Death rseign me,
5Jy infirmities remind me,
Every year.
Ah 1 how sad to look before us,
Every year;
While theclouds grow darker o'er us,
Every year.
When the blossoms are all fadei.
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the past go more dead faces,
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places;
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the coming dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing old," they tell us
Every year;
"You are more alone," they tell us
Every year,
"You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and dejection,
Every year/'
YtsThe shores of life are shifting.
Every year;
An 1 we are seaward drifting,
Every year;
Old places changing fret us,
The living more forget us.
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws nigher
F.trnrv vnar
Ami its morning star climbs higher
Every year.
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter.
Anil the dawn immortal brighter.
Every year.

SUSY'S INVESTMENT.
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
| ^autumn morn- j
floor, and Mrs. Kisbee looked around
with a bewildered air, as she came in to
y?*"**10 breakfast.
"Come, mother, make haste!" shouted
old Luke Khbee. "I've got to get out
to the wood lots bright and early this
morning!
"Yes, I know, father." The old
woman still stared around her. "I can't
think what makes the room look so
qucct. Oil, I know! Father, you've
torn them morning-glory vines away from
the window !"
Luke rubbed the yellow soap vindictively
on his knuckles, as he pumped
fresh water into the kitchen sink.
"Of course I have!" 6aid he. "Dried
up old truck, keepin' out the light and
air. What use was theyt"
"But there was lota o' flowers and
buds on 'em yet, father. And in that
sheltered spot, the froet wouldn't have
touched 'em for a week to come."
"Mornin'-glories don't amount to
nothin'!" snarled Kiabee. "Besides, I'm |
goin' to hev a load of wood dumped i
there to-day. It's a handy place for the
wood-pile."
"Father!"
'I'm?gain'?to?hev?a?load?o'?
wood?dumped?there?to-day! Don't
I speak loud enough?"
"But, father, you always said you was
goln' to build a kitchen out there."
"I never said nothin' of the sort!"
"I want a kitcheD," pleaded the poor
woman.
"That's a horse of another color,"
sneered the old ruan.
1/ 1 _ a ? -
-adci wnen we was first married, you
pormised me?"
'I dare say I promised a good many
foolish things then. There's some promises
better broken than kept," philosophically
observed Luke.
"And this old room's damp, and the
walls have settled, and the ceilings has
fell?and 1 was calculatin' to have it
fixed up and put my bed here, when the
new kitchen was built. Italways makes
me feel dreadful cheap, when the sewing
eociety meet here,to hevour bed a-standin'
in the parlor, no matter how handeome
the patchwork quilt Is!"
Luke wiped his hands over the rollertowel.
"Well, you've stood it thirty years,"
said be, "an' I guess you can stand it a
little while longer."
"Do you mean, father, that I ain't to |
hev the new kitchen arter all?"
"That's exactly what I do mean."
Mrs. Kisbee said no more,but the slow,
bitter tears of old age trickled down her
cheeks as she lighted the fire, brought a
pail of drinking water from the spring
and began to fry the ham and eggs in a
little iron skillet.
"I must have been awful wicked,"
thought the poor old woman, "for I've
moat made an idol o' that new kitchen,
an' thcftight so much abcAit the best roono
with no bed in it I An' no-v I'm punished."
Her son George came over that afternoon
from Fancy's .Mills, where he was
foreman in ? great shirt factory.
"Mother," paid he, "I've got some
thing to tell you. I'm engaged to marry
dusy Btopford. Why, mother, what's
* l... ??__? t*ri?. '
iuo maner > t? nai are you crying about?
I thought you'd be ?o pleased !"
"It's just like nil the rest o' the luck I"
nobbed |x>or old Mrs. Kisbeo. "Father's
oeen an lore aown an my morom'-giory
vteaa, an' 1 ain't goin' to bav my new
kitchen after all these years, and my
only eon has got engaged to one of the
Btopfordn, that wasn't never friends with
the Kisbeos?"
"But, mother," laughingly pleaded
George, "these are not the days of Montagues
and Capalet feuds.
"I don't know what you're talkin'
about," said Mrs. Kisbee, who was not
a student of Shakespeare, ' 'but I've always
despised them 8topforde. An*
Susan she's a story writer, I'm told, as
goes about with her lingers an Tnky, and
don't help none with the housework."
"But, mother, she hires a girl to assist
her aunt with the money she etfcs.
She's the best and sweetest girl in the)
world. When may 1 bring her to see
jcut" ?
"I don't want to see her at all," taid
the old woman, querulously.
And then she broke down again crying.
George went away much perturbed in
spirit. He had never seen his mother so
heart or oken before.
"I don't know what she'll say,"
thought he, "when she hears that father
has made up his mind to sell the old
place. It is too bad of him. But father
never treated mother halt-way decent."
Susy Stopford was at the window when
young Kiabee came by.
She ran out to meet him, her bright
hair blowing in the wind, her rosy lipa
apart.
"Well, George?" cried she.
"I don't know what to say to you,
Susy,'' he began. "Mother isn't herself
to-day. 8hc?"
"She don't like me? Ah, I knew that
before, George! There was some old
trouble between her mother and Grandfather
Stopford. She jilted him or he
threw her over, I never quite understood
which. But I mean to make her like
me."
"I'm afraid she won't give you tho
chance, Susy."
Susy 8topford sat down on the doorstep
and rested her round chin in her
hands. George Kisbee leaned against
the door and caressed one of the truant
tresses of loose hair, as il it were a living
thing.
"Tell me all about it, George," said
she.
And George told her.
It was such a new, strange delight to
hav&Jier to confide everything to.
"I wily wish I was rich," said he.
"I'd buy the place myself, and I'd build
that new kitchen that poor mother's soul
so longs for, and a porch in front to
train her morning glory vines on."
Susy pressed her cheek against her
hand.
"Who's going to buy it. George?" said
she.
"Doctor Trevor."
"What dots he pay for it?"
"Twelve hundred dollars. It isn't a
great price, but the land is sterile and
rocky, and the house is old. Poor
i ta. :n i i_ i i i_ i?_.

her bright eyes to his face, "I can't
give you up?not even to your mother."
"Susy, my darling!"
"But this I will do; I'll make her like
me yet?see if I don't."
And Susy got up and ran, sobbing,into.the
house.
She could not resurao her writing
again, though the manuscript of a halffiuished
story lay ou the table in her cosy
little sanctum.
She got out her bauk book and studiel
it for awhile; then she brought in a
shallow window box aud adjusted it in
the sunniest nook of the kitchen casement.
"La me, Susan, what are you doing?"
said Aunt Pamela, who was cutting up
pumpkiu for pie3. "Plantin' morning
glory seeds at this time o' the year? Be
you gone crazy?"
"I thought I should like to have some
plants ready for blossoming the first
thing in the spring," said Susy, coloriug
a little.
Mrs. Kisbee's poor oid face grew very
white and drawn when she heard that
her husband had sold the old place; but
she sigued the deed without a word of
remonstrance.
"It s late in the day for me to oppose
Luke's will,"' said she. "But one thing
I know?I'm too old a tree to bear
transplanting When I leave the old
house where I was born, I shall leave it
in ray coffiu. Father, he's goin' to put
the money into that Western land
speckilation that S juirc Oliver's so full
of, and it'll be scattered like autumn
leaves. Oh, dear?oh, dear!"
And alter that she went about her
household tasks in a spiritless way, as if
she were walking in a dream.
"George," she said to her son one
day, when he stopped in to see her,
"Doctor Trevor, he's abuildin' on the
prettiest wing you ever see. He said he
hoped it wouldn't disturb me noiie, but
they was in a hurry with the alterations."
"You don't mind it, do you mother?"
Mrs. Kisbee shook her piteous old
gray head.
"No," said she. "I like to hear the
hamraerin'. I'm glud Mis' Trevor's goin'
to have a nicer place to work in than
ever I had. Two winders to the south,
and h Georgia pine door with lectio narrer
boards, and spring water brought in
pipes, and a range, George?a range
with a hot water b'ilcr rnd two big evens
overhead. And there's to be a veranda
all along the cast side of the house just
where I always wanted father to put up
a porch, where we could sit and breathe
the fresh air of evenin's like other folks,
and two nice big bedrooms further on.
I hope Mis' Trevor 'II enjoy 'em."
/ tir .it ei ?-?
-- luumer, r?us\ rays ?
Mrs. Kisbee's face hardened.
"I don't want to bear what Susy says,"
said she. "I don't calculate to go an'
live with you an' Susan Stopford. I'm
an old woman, an' I've got ways of my
own that I can't give up. Me an' father,
we can hire a couple o' rooms somewhere,
or we can go to the poorhouse if
that Western sffcckilation is really gone
up, as folks say it is. I don't want
nothin' to do with a daughter-irf-law."
She watched her son go down the
nath.
"George has got an orful queer look
in his face,'' said she. "Mebbe 1 said
loo much. George.has always been a
good boy, an' 1 didn't mean to hurt his
feelin's. But I meant every word I
said."
If was spring before the alteration! on

Mrs. Kisbee walkcl through the rooms
with a bewildered air.
"It's the old home, and yet it ain't,"
said she. "The new bedroom furniture

i
Luke Kisbee stood sheepishly looking
out of the new south window.
As his wife came up to blm, ha a
deuly turned around.
"Mother," said he, "I may's wall tall
you now as ever. That Western property's
turned out bad. There wa'n't no
good title, it seems."
"An'you've lost it allt" ""
"Yes, I've lost every cent! Ev?a?ry
cent!"
Mrs. Kisbee did not answer him. Her
attention was apparently concentrated on
something else.
"Father," said she, "what's them
under the window? Mornin*-glories!
This time o' year? Why, the apples
ain't fairly In bloom yet; and here the
mornin'-glories is four feet high, and
trained on strings aready I Who's that
woman down there, workin' around the
roots? Transplantln' them from a
wooden box, true's I live I Why
?it's?Susan Stopford! And there's
George liftin' another box of 'em outen
a wagon! Well, I declare!"
She opeued the window and called,
excitedly:
"George! George! Susan! Don't put
all them viDes into the ground. Save
one in a little dower-pot for ma, when I
go?to the poorhouset"
Susy Stopford laid down her trowel.
"Mrs. Kisbee?mother?" said she. In
a voice so full of tender sympathy that
the old woman involuntarily held out
her hands to ber.
"iMother," interrupted George, "let
me tell the story. Right here, among
the morning-glory vines, under the
window. This is your birthday, mother.
You're Ecventy years old to-day.
And here are the deeds of the old home
in ray pocket, Susy's present to you,
mother. It's Susy that has bought this
place and fitted it up just as we thought
you would like it. I've been helping
her, and Doctor Trevor was in the plot.
And here you are to live, like a queen
in her palace, to the end of your days."
Mrs. Kisbee's lip quivered?a flush
rose to her forehead.
"I never thought o' that," said she.
"It ain't a dream, is it? Rut I?I won't
live here, Susy, unless you and George
will come here and live, too."
Susy shook her sunshiny bead.
"George must bo near Farloy's Mills,'"
said she. "But we'll come and spend
every Sunday with you, mother, il
you'll let us."
"If I'll let you!"
Trembling all over, Mrs. Kisbee opened
the door aud came out iuto the sweel
spring air.
"Won't you kiss me, 8usy?" said she.
"I've beeu awful uicharitable in my
thoughts of you, but I'm wiflin' to take
'cm all back now. If I'd only knowed
you loved mornin'-glories as well as 1 did,
I'd have ffelt different."
She clasped Susy Stopford in her arms
with a loving pressure that was more eloquent
than words. The tears streamed
dojvn her wrinkled face.
"I won't have to go to the poorhouse
now," said she. "And I shall take lots
of comfort in my beautiful new kitchen,
and I'll hov the sewing society to tea
next week, aud let 'em see there ain't no
occasion to licv a bed in my best room
now."
Neither were George's and Susy's eyes
dry. And as for Luke Kisbee, he listened
in sileuce.
"It seems like I was sort c>' left out in
the cold," said he. "But, after all, it
was x uargmnea nway my Dirtnrigbt for
a lot o' wildcat Western laud bonds. I
guess it's just as well the property belongs
to mother now instead of me."
"Susy," said George, as they drove
home together, "are you satisfied with
your investment?"
And Susy answered:
"More than satisfied 1"?Saturday

Victoria's Crown.
The crown of the Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland, made in 1838, has
been estimated to be of tho value of $1,500,000.
It weighs nearly two pound',
and comprises more than 3000 precious
stones, of wh:ch live-sixths nro diamonds.
The lower part of the band is a row
of 129 pearls, the upper part of 112
Between them, in fiont, is a large
gapphiie. Behind is a smaller sapphire,
with six others and eight emeralds. Between
the two great sapphires are ornaments
containing 286 diamonds. Above
the band are eight sapphires surmounted
by eight diamonds, and eight festoons
containing ICO diamonds. In the front
| ot the crown is the ruby given to the
I Black Prii ce by Pedro, King of Castillo.
This is set in a Maltese cross, and forming
the cross are seventy-five large diamonds.
Three other crosses, containing 386
diamonds, are around the upper part of
the crown. Between the four crosses
are four ornaments with four rubies in
the center, and containing respectively
eighty-four, eight-six, eighty-five and
eighty-seven diamonds. From the
Maltese crosses rise four arches, com

The Mamelukes.
Tho Mamelukes were a former class of
slaves in Egypt, who became and continued
for a long time to be the dominant
race of that country. Their name
comes from the Arab, "Mamluk," that
is, slave. As far back as the year 050
wc find mention of tbem, but it is not
for several centuries thereafter that they
are known as a powrer. In the twelfth
century the Sultan of Egypt bought of
Genghes Khan 12,000 Circassian. Miagreliau,
Tartar and Turkish slaves, and
in the year 1240 Malek 8u!ah made tbem
his bodv uuard: and ten veara later
they killed Turan Shah and became
masters of Egypt. fn more modern
times they played an important part in
the battle of the Pyramids in 1793,
wljere they were exhibited as fine horsemen,
but where they were annihilated.
The great part of their number were
, massacred by Mehemet Ali in 1811, a
remnant only escaping, and for a few
years maintaining themselves at New
Dongolo, but these were exterminated in

Btead in emergencies, and yet b
tempered with the judgment that wil
direct her to call in a physician at th
least menace of serious sickness.
A child should be so closely watche<
by the mother that no derangement c
its system may escape her notice. Sh
should ascertain for herself that all it
bodily functions are in proper workin
order. Her trained touch should not
in ? moment any unusual neat or emu
ucss of the child's body, the dryness c
the skin, the over-quickness of the pulse
She should learn to know at a glanc
whether the throat and tongue are i

shortened respiration. A fever thei

understand how to take her child

absolutely cure whether the patient i
feverish or not. Even when th
symptoms are such as to cause alarm,
physician is not always at haud, an<
upon the 'mother there devolves thi
charge of the little one. A few genera
hints as to simple modes of treatmen
may not be amiss.
Borne children have a tendenc
towards croup that manifests itself a
night approaches in feverishness,hoars*
ness and a barking cough. 8uchsym{
toms must not be disregarded. Th
child's feet must be well heated before
goes to bed, its chest rubbed with cam
phorated oil and covered with a bit c
red ffaunel spread with vaseline. Aconit
may be given at the rate of half a dro
in a teaspoonful of water every half hot
fot three or four doses. If the cold i
a fresh one this may check it and pro
duce a gentle respiration. When the uc
pleasant symptoms remain, fifteen'drop
of syrup of ipecac may be given ever
twenty minutes until the hoarseness 1
relieved or the child vomits. Should th
little one waken suddenly from slee
with a hoarse cough and tightene
breathing, a teaspoonful of ipecac cor
taming as much powdered aluqa as cn
be heaped on a silver dime may be ad
ministered. If the child doe* not vom
within half au hour, the dose may be r<
peated. A bath in water of about ninety
live degrees is, of course, excellent i
croup, as in congestion or convulsion!
Croupy children should be kept house
while there is melting snow on tl
ground. The snow air often affects ther
even then,and makes thaws anxioj^jns
3ou6 for mothers.
Blight bowel troubles can usually b
regulated better by diet than by drugs
Children suffering with looseness of th
bowels should be fed with boiled mill)
boiled rice, arrowroot jelly, rice flou
porridge, sage or tanioca and soft toast
Raw fruit and sweets should be especiall
avoided. The regimen is not severe,ani
is more attractive than dosing. Childre
whose tendency is in the opposite direc
tion should have a laxative diet, consist
ing of oatmeal, hominy, mush, wheatei
grits, baked potatoes, beef juice, app]
sauce, etc. 8ugar of milk may be addo<
to the food as a gentle correotlve, a tee
spoonful three times a day ugua'.iy bein
enough to produce the desitcd-eflect.
Pain in the stomach or bowels, o
colic, is so varied in its manifestation
that it is hard to lay down any flxei
rule of treatment. If the colic spring
from acidity, a teaspoonful of lime we
tcr, or a pinch of carbonate of soda die
solved in a little water will often reliev
the patient. Where there is any lncl
nation to sourness of stomach, lime watt
should always be added to the mil
which a child drinks. For pain in th
boweb a teaspoonful of anise cordii
mixed with a teaspoonful of hot wah
often produces a happy effect. Flai
nels dipped iu hot spirits and wrung 01
maybe laid on the bowels of thesuffere
ami frequently prove very soothing. 1
sharp pain laudanum may be added t
the spirits. An old fashioned epi<
plaster in excellent remedy. It is mac
by mixing a heaping teaspoonful each ?
ground cinnamon cloves, ha ace and al
spice with two of ginger K Themixtu
is quilted between two thicknesses i
red flannel about eight inches long 1
six wide. The plastei may be applit
dry or dipped in boiling alcohol and lal
on the little patient's abdomen as hot
he can bear it. In cases of weakness
the bowels this plaster may be worn co:
stantly with benefit.
Although an overuse of drugs is i
ways to be deplored, each home whe
there are little folks should be suppli
with its medicine chest or cabinet, ke
locked, and the key in the mothe
possession. In this box or cupboar

OeafliMi Can't be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot roach tha
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hoaring. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation
can bo taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be '
destroyed forever; nine cases out or ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in- |
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Curs.
