WHEN WE TWO WALKED IN AR- CADY. tVhei! we two walked In Arcady How sweet the summers were! How thick the branches overhead. How soft the grass beneath oor tread. And thickets where the nun burned red Were full of wings astir, my dear. When we two walked In Arcady Through paths yonng hearts prefer. Since we two walked In Arcady (How long ago It seems !| High hopes hare died disconsolate; The calm-eyed angel men call Kate Stands with drawn sword before the gate That shuts out all our dreams, my dear; Since we two walked In Arcady. Beside the crystal streams. Beyond the woods of Arcady The little brooks are dry. The brown grass rustles In the heat. The roads are rough beneath our feet, Abore our heads no branches meet. And yet. although we sigh, my dear. Beyond the woods of Arcady We see more of the sky ! —Caroline Uuer, in Scribner's. "How the Ghost Wasjaid.” By Mary Kyl« Dallas. "I cannot marry you,” she said, “I am afraid. You laugh at me, and talk about auperstition, but Dick Pardon has kept his word twice, and he will keep it again. When I, a girl of sev enteen who was not able to control her feelings, refused him with scorn and contempt, asking him how he dared to speak such words to me. his master’s daughter, he caught me by the wrist and looked into my face as no one had ever looked before. ‘Avis Shaw,’ he said, ‘you’re proud and airish, and you refuse to marry me because I am one of your father’s hands, but you’ll rue the day you spoke such words to me. I understand I can’t get you, but no other man shall. Living or dead, I will stand between you and every man that comes near you. Living or dead. Avia Shaw, I’ll have my re venge!’ “Well, I thought nothing of his threats. I told my father that Dick had asked me to majry him, and he dismissed him. From that time forth every young man who offered me any attention was set upon and beaten or shot at, or in some way injured on his way home from our house. “At last Hall Grayson, the young lawyer, was killed. That was two years before you came here. The poor young man was not in love with me- his business was with my father; but you know how country folk gossip and pair people off. He was stabbed in the back, and this time the men of the village caught the wretch red-handed. They were carrying him to jail when he escaped from them, led them a chase for miles, and ended it by Jump- ing from the cliff near Hunters Hole into the sea. By the time the inspec tor and the rest of them got to the edge of tho cliff the body of the mur derer had disappeared. “But, Raymond, Dick Pardon had said that he would carry out his re venge, alive or dead, and, though every one thought that with his drown ing my troubles would end, it has not proved so. No one can come to our bouse in a way that makes it appear that the object is my society but he is warned away. If he does not take the warning he is shot at bv soniB one “I am, Mr. Jones,” replied Rayaaimd. “Glad to know you, sir,” said the blacksmith; “but I’m sorry to say that you are wrong in ypur idea about what is seen—what even some here have seen in the old stone house on Shaw’s place. It’s a real apparition, that is no trickster's work whatever. “Nevertheless I desire to enlist my army. I offer a sovereign to every re cruit,” said Raymond. But, despite this offer, not a soul would accompany him to the stone house, and he was obliged to give up his plan for that occasion. On the following Sunday evening, just as twilight fell, everyone In the village saw the young architect take his way along the road to the Shaw farm. There, upon the porch, old Mr. Shaw met him and shook his hand kindly. “Avis is not here,” he said. “Of course I know what has passed be tween you, and I like you. I should be delighted to welcome you as a son-in- law, but what folks say is too true for that, for your own sake, young man, you’d better give up all idea of her.” “I will never do that, sir,” said Ray mond. He talked a little while to Mr. Shaw, allowed the shadows to gather ere he bade him adieu, and walked slowly down the road. It was not a very clear night, but the moon now scudded through the clouds piled white and high. In her light the old stone house was plainly visible, and once again he saw tne vi sion that had affrighted so many of the villagers, the shrouded figure sur rounded by blue light, the hand lifted In warning. On the instant he drew a pistol from his pocket, took aim at the lifted arm, and fired. As he did so out of the bushes sprang six stout men, employes of the village brewery, armed and bearing lanterns. Headed by Raymond, they dashed into the old house, and the lights they bore revealed the figure of a man lying on the casement appeared. A white sheet had fallen to the ground, a lantern with blue glass es lay beside it. The man was sense less. “Your bullet hit the mark, Mr. Bell,” said one of the brewers; “you’ve done for him.” “And, by the Lord Harry, it is Dick Pardon himself,” said another. “I thought so,” said Raymond. “The man did not jump into the sea; he contrived to secrete himself among the rocks, and has been playing ghost ever since, hiding here, probably.” This proved to be true, for Pardon before he died made a full confession, and a little while later Avis Shaw be came the bride of the ghost-layer.—* New York News.

AN AWFUL SKIN HUMOR he canum see “As I did not care for any of the men who came to see me, I made up my mind to endure my fate calmly; but now—” Here the poor girl burst into tears, and her lover caught her hands and pressed them to his lips. “If you love me, no man shall part us, Avis,” he said; “and as for the ghost of your murderous farm hand. I’ll exorcise him if he attempts to frighten me.” “Papa likes you,” said Avis, “but we feel the tales you and all reason able people laugh at are not mere sup erstitious fancies, and because we both like you so much he joins me in begging you never to come to Shaw farm again.’’ “Nevertheless, I shall come,” said Raymond, “so expect me whenever I can got here.” “If you come I will not see you,” said Avis, in a terror-stricken voice. “I will not lead the man I love to his doom; I will never marry you. Leave me, I pray, and fiever see me more.” Raymond Bell answered by a look which needed no interpretation, and kissed her tenderly. It is strange how much men can for- 1 give In women they truly love. If any other person in the world had ex pressed belief in such an absurd sup erstition, his derision would have been so great as to blot out all respect for that Individual; but Avis could do no wrong in Raymond Bell's eyes. Af ter all, he thought, her anxiety for him was proof of her love. Thinking thus he passed a little stone house by the roadside which was said to be haunted by the ghost of Dick Pardon, and paused a moment to look at it. It was evening, and stars were in the sky, but it was n moonless night. The ruinous little building was cov ered with Ivy, and so dilapidated that tall weeds grew within the almost roofless walls; but as Raymond stood loking at it he saw a strange blue light begin to glow in its lower win dow's, and in the midst of the radi ance stood a tall figure draped in white, who for a moment lifted his arm with a warning gesture. Gripping his walking stick, the young man dashed toward the win dow; but suddenly reflecting that as the seeming ghost was probably a hu man being bent on mischief, and that he was unarmed save for the stick which he carried in his hand, he re solved that it would not be wise to ex pose himself further. Consequently he passed on, but, turning to look back, saw once more the strange ap pearance, this time at an upper win dow. Again the hand menaced, again the figure faded, and this time Raymond was angry at himself for feeling cer tain of those chills and thrills which the most sensible of us have at times experienced. A laugh drove them away, and coming to the open doors of a smithy, he walked in among the men who were watching the proprie tor as he shoed a restive horse. “Good evening.” he said. “I want half a dozen men and boys to come with me to the old stone house on Mr. Shaw g farm. Some idiot is playing ghost up there with blue lights and a white sheet, and I’m raising an army to put an end to his capers.” The loungers looked at Raymond while he spoke; the smith finished his Job In silence. Then lifting his head, he spoke gravely: “You’re Mr. Bell, the architect that has come down to build the church. I believe!’’ Unceasing Toil and Suffering the Fate of Middle Class Chinese Women. Dr. Charles K. Roys, a missionary at Wei Hsien, China, in a letter Just received by the Presbyterian board of foreign missions, throws some light on the condition of the middle class women of China. He says: 'We have been employing a Chinese sewing woman for a couple of weeks, and I have been much impressed with the cheerfulness and force of charac ter shown by these poor creatures, condemned to hobble through life on feet not much larger than a sheep’s hoqL Thii wnmaji .(nil go up etaim CoTered Head, Neck and Shoulders—Snf. fered Agony For Twenty-Fire Years Until Cured by Cutlcura. ‘Tor twenty five years I suffered agony from a terrible humor, completely covering my head, neck and shoulders, discharging matter of such offensiveness to sight and smell that I became an object of dread.

Although carry ing any burden is very painful, in their own homes women have to carry a heavy child around with them while they do their housework, but toning the child into the front of their clothing to keep it warm through the winter. Yet many of the women have cheerful faces and kindly smiling eyes very much like an old southern mam my who has seen much trouble, yet remains cheerful and content. This is especially true of the Christian Chin- | ese women. So much so that their i neighbors say some magic changes their faces. “Today I passed some women wash- j ing clothes in a little stream in native ! fashion, where they crouch for hours 1 in the bitter cold sousing the clothes ; back and forth in the water—no soap j and no washboard—lucky if they have a mat or a stone to sit on. Another j heavy task in the fall season is the j making of wadded garments for the whole family. It is no easy matter when added to 'all that a woman is expected to do. A woman near us tried to commit suicide last fall be cause she was asked to make her hus band’s uncle’s winter clothes. These wadded garments are ungainly look ing, but are said to be very comforta ble by missionaries who wear them. They are made of two layers of muslin dyed blue or black, with a layer of cotton batting between them. Each j individual wears three or four of the wadded coats, and usually one pair I of trousers, the latter very loose and baggy above, and very tight around the ankle, where they are secured by j a strap. The accumulation of coats makes a man look as round as a bar- ; rel, while the little children are spherical, and if they fall down have j hard work to get up again. The win ter hat is a great hood of wadded cot ton like a fisherman’s sou-wester, fall ing over the back and shoulders, and in children ornamented with all the colors of the rainbow.”—Special Cor respondence of The Washington Post. the telephone^ while her mother tran sacted he^-business with the head of the office: A caller was an interested listener to the one-sided conversa tion until, Just as the talk grew in teresting, she began to speak in French. “What was that girl saying?” de manded the caller of the bookkeeper, after the two women had left the office. “You speak French.” “That Is just the trouble,” was Jhe laughing answer. “I speak French; that girl merely thinks she does. I could not understand one word in ten.” “Then how do you suppose the 6ther girl understood?” “She understood it because they both studied under the same teacher. There is more bad French taught in the fashionable finishing schools in this city than any one save a French man can realize.

J We publish the following receipt /or whitewash, which has been tested and found good: Slack one-half bushel of unslacked lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain it and add a peck of salt dissolved in warm water. Add also three pounds of good rice put in boiling water, and boiled to a thin paste; one-half pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue dissolved in ^arm water. Mix all these well together, and let the mixture stand for several days. Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle or portable furnace, and, when used, put it on as hot as pos sible with painters’ or whitewash brushes. This whitewash has been found by experience to answer on wood, brick and stone nearly afc well as oil paint, and it is much cneaper. For House Plants.

Yet Soft atne Cannot Ifort the Eyoa. Nsm York, June 20.—No one can go into our schools or meet ft group of ehildi^n on the street without noticing how arge a number of them wear spe< tides. The proportion seems to Incicfise yearly, and there are many ore who ought to wear g’asses. The perifnee of one teacher might be du plicated by the score. She knew Alice ns inattentive nnd she thought she ■vas unusually stupid. She said so . to the principal and sent a note to • U»P mother, requesting that the child be helped at home if she wished her to keep up with her class. Ore day after u blackboard explanation, the teacher called upon the child nnd found that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school nnd by dint of much sympathetic ques- tionilig Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and that her head had ached so often nnd so hard that she frequently failed to hear what was said. Such a condition may be caused by lack of proper food, but in our Ameri can homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light. The yel low, insufficient light of the ordinary kerosene lamp, with its smoky chim ney, is about as bad for the eyes as can be imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but iittie better, and even the electric light, brilliant as it usually is, has an unsteadiness j due to variations in power, and a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight. The comparatively new il- Imninnnt acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white, unwavering light, very brilliant, yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like the rays of the sun that even colors ap pear as in daylight. Fortunately, acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced, and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased and installed in any home at a very moderate cost, and the acetylene can be piped to convenient points in the bouse where a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas. Acetylene is rapidly coming into common use in homes, churches, schools nnd institutions of all kinds, nnd it is reasonable to expect that as its use in the homo increases, there will be fewer defective eyes, particu larly among children. Poor eyesight and the many ills resulting therefrom jj'ill undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new’ illuminnnt.

A conscientious, hard working and eminently successful clergyman writes: “I am glad to bear testimony to the pleasure and increased measure of efficiency and health that have come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as one of my articles of diet. "For several years I was much dis tressed during the early part of each day by indigestion. My breakfast, usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and eggs, seemed to turn sour and fail'd to digest. After dinner the headache and other symptoms following tin- breakfast would wear away, only to re turn. however, next morning. “Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, 1 finally concluded to give it a fair trial. I quit the use of oatmeal and eggs, and made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postuni. The result was surprising in improved health and total absence of tho distress that had. for so long a time, followed the morn ing meal. My digestion became once more satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and the old feeling of energy returned. Since that time, four years ago. I have always had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast table. *T was delighted to find also, that whereas before I began to use Grape- Nuts food I was quite nervous and be came easily wearied in the work of preparing sermons and in study, a marked improvement In this respect re sulted from the change in my diet. I am convinced that Grape-Nuts fool produced this result and helped me to a sturdy condition of mental am! ply si cal strength. “I have known several persons who were formerly troubled as I was. and who have been helped as I have been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food, on my recommendation, among whom may be mentioned the Rev. . now a mis sionary to China.” Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, M’.ch. “There's a reason.” Recipes. — 1%^' Swiss Cream—Lay one-quartet- of a pound of macaroons id a giafcs fiish; mix two tablespoonfuls dt cornstarch with three of milk.

Veteran Joshua Heller, of 70(1 South Walnut street, Urbana, 111., says: “III the fall of 1800, after taking Doan’s Kidney Pills I told the readers of this paper that they had relieved me of kid ney trouble, dis posed of a lame back with pain across my loins and beneath the shoul der blades. During the interval which has elapsed I havd had occasion to re sort to Doan’s Kid ney Pills when I noticed warnings of an attack.

Now that windows in the Subway cars are let down at the top many passengers seem to think it is done j for them to throw things out of in stead of for ventilation. An observer says he saw enough stuff hurled from | the cars on one trip to fill a trasn 1 basket. A woman who had fed her J two children on bananas threw skins j and bag out of the window. Two girls finished up a quart of peanuts 1 between them, put the shells in a j bag and threw them out. One man emptied his pockets of odds and ends i of correspondence, tore the paper in- I to shreds and contributed it to the roadbed. There were cigar butts and several empty candy boxes added to the contribution. Orange peel is an other thing that passengers seemed to think it was necessary to cast out. The spitters, now that the windows are down, are as much in evidence in the Subway as they are on the elevated and surface cars. Men walk half rhe length of the car to find an open window that nobody is sitting before. The guard never says a word.
