QUI ITUS. Man and his strife! and beneath him the Earth in her green repose. And out of the Earth he cometh, and into the Earth he goes. O sweet at last is the Silence, O sweet at the warfare's close! For out of the Silence he cometh, and into the Silence goes. And the great sea round him glistens, and a be v > him the great Night glows. Arid out of the Night he cometh, and into the Night he goes. ?William Watson. jlilEiiMtt] k t f a By SrsAX Hcbbaud Martin. i ^ She was waiting in Madam Jackson's dressmaking parlors, where the large easy chair nearly enveloped her smail, shrinking figure. She was not old. not more than thirty-live, 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 were pal and a trifle sunken, and the hands, folded over a parcel in her lap, were 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, imposing-looking woman, clad in a rich black dress. The iittle woman rose timidly. "Yes'm," she answered. "I?I want you to make me a dress if you will. fl'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 different. We live on a farm, and we raise fruit and vegetables for market.- Ev-fry year John has said to me, 'Well, Lottie, I guess this fall we can afford *h3t. blue dress.'" She unrolled her package carefully and smoothed out the cloth it contained 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 happened. 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 be gave me the money was, 'Now, Lottie, don't buy anything but a blue dress, and just forget how long v you've waited for it.' "I'm afraid, though," she added, with a wistful little sigh, "it's too late to look well on me. iou see getting up at Halt past two in tne moiuiug w uc ready for market will make any one old, and I've worked hard. Sometimes we have six men to cook for; that is in ir. the busy season." Madam Jackson took the roll of cloth in her bantfs. 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 dimples. It was so far from being appropriate for the' little, stooping figure opposite. ^ Madam looked kindly 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?" The woman clasped her hajxIS^ "Don't say it!" she cried, I understand, but if you only-knew how all these years I've_jwrnted that blue dress! Something' different from anytfcJijs^-Pve kad. 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." - - 1- J Ul.. 1 ^ A large rear snune in wuriuy maa-?. am Jackson's eye?and she was not muchT^iren to tears. "Very well," she answered; and then followed a discussion of lining and thread. The woman came again in a few days to have the dress fitted, id one hand she carried a basket of purple grapes with the bloom still on them. "I've brought you these," she said to the dressmaker. "I picked them myself early this morning." 'Thank you so much!" was the warm answer. "I dearly love grapes, and those are especially fine." In a few minutes the blue dress went on over the thin little figure. Somehow its bright hue seemed a mockery. It brought out so' clearly the gray 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 much all these years. Why, often when the work was hardest and the days longest, Tve said to myself, 'Never mind, unariotte, some of these days you're going to have a beautiful blue dress,' and the hope of it somehow kept me up." "I understand," Madam Jackson said, gently. In a few days the dress was done. The customer came for it one morning. in a wagon driven by a tall, broadshouldered man with a rugged, weath> - er-beaten face. "Her husband." thought Madam Jackson, looking out of the window. The pale little woman came hurriedly 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 done well with it, It was finished off with silk of the same shade, and tfiere was a prettj 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 beine fastened. 2 faint color stole into the woman's white cheeks. "Isn't it pretty?" she xwhispered wonderingly. "The very prettiest thing I ever had! It seems wrong somehow for me to have it now. Some body young and beautiful ought tc wear it. If only I could have had il 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 effec softens the face wonderfully. There that it is better." She straightened the lace at th< throat and settled he skirt. "Wait < moment." she added, stepping into th< next room. When she returned, sh< held a dainty lace-trimmed handker chief, fine as a spider's web. Sh< tucked it into the rough litfle hand "A present from me," she said. Tight ly. "When you wear file dress yoi must carry that." c Over the thin lace there swept a beautiful flush. "Is that for me?" she said, in an awestruck voice. "Oh, thank you, thank you!" There was so much radiance in the cok 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 j mouth, and Madam Jackson saw what the woman must have been long ago. j before the hard years had robbed her I of her bloom. "I wish John could see me," the lltj tie 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 wi*!e is anxious to | liave you see her in her new dre3S." The man entered. When the bluc| gowned, radiant vision faced him. he | started. "Why, Lottie, he 'said, "why j my dear, is it really you?" "Do-you like it, John?" she said. "Like it! Why, you look just as i you did when we were married, only somehow, sweeter and dearer." and then, regardless of Madam Jackson in the background, he 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 the blue dress carefully wrapped up. The flush still lin-* gered on the little woman's face as she waved a last gcod-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 return. 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 Jres's would be folded away as something sacred, seldom worn, but never forgotten. There would be something beautiful 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 all," she murmured.?Youth's Companion. QUAINTEST VILLAGE IN THE LAND. Queer Little Town in Ohio Where English Is Never Spoken. There is one village in the United ! States where no modern improvement i has ever penetrated, where not the : faintest echo of the rush ana overwork of modern life has ever sounded, i where American newspapers are not read nor the English language spoken. This is the little German village of Glandorf, in Putnam county, Ohio, i where 600 frugal and industrious Inhabitants 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 mat extends ior over a. nine, uciar j ly north and south. Quaint, durable* and homelike are the houses scattered* along either side, interspersed hero and there by the stores." All the residences have spacious and well-kept dooryards._r.>23ack and away from this principal street?yet so near that the -laborers can be seen and heard at their 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 the fields with the men, and the whole population shows that rugged health so characteristic of the race. Among themselves the people converse almost entirely in the 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 pie. They are of the Catholic faith, and possess one of the 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 architecture. Although most of the work of construction, the quarrying of the stone for the foundation and the hauling of the material was given gratis by members of the parish, the cost outside of all this was over $50,000. The structure is of brick and is ornai mented with white sandstone, j Back of the church is the convent, j and all of the work of the farm con| nected with it is looked after by the j sisters. The people of the parish are very j strict in their church duties. PEARLS OF THO JGHT. Each man his own fortune in his own hands.?Goethe. It is wonderful how near conceit is to insanity.?Jerrold.

Tho Modern Prison Apartments to Defy Jail Breakers. A prisoner in the new section of the Tombs, in New York is ticketed and placed in a steel pigeon-hole until his time is served. He may console himself with the fact that he is resting in one of the most modern cells in the world, for the recently-completed wing of this famous prison embodies all that is new in prison-cell construction. The walls, ceiling and floors of the cells are of special toolproof steel, made under strict supervision, and tested by drills every six inches and 011 the edges by saws. Each cell is eight feet long, six feet wide and eight feet high, and resembles nothing so much as a steel pigeon hole, the several cells being arranged in rows in tiers, four high in each story. The walls between the cells r.rn rnmrinspH nf twn rmartpr-inr-h i plates,, between which is riveted a sheet of lead to deaden sound and prevent intercommunication between the prisoners. The floors are covered with two-inch bluestono slabs, in two pieces, with rubbed upper surfaces. The stones are imbedded in cement and mortar and the points packed with hemp and then run full of molten lead. Each cell contains a steel bunk fastened to the wall, a hinged steel table, a steel shelf and two clothes hooks riveted to the wall. The interior of the cell is painted white and cream. The doors are fastened with three locks?a dead lock, a snap lock and a lever lock, all of which may be used separately or together. An airing court is provided on the fourth story, which is used for an exercising place for prisoners. NECI.EUS FOR NEW FUND.

To boil water is an apparently sim- j pie operation, and yet it is said that [ many people do not know how to do j it. According to an authority the se- j cret consists in putting fresh water ; into a kettle already warm and set- [ ting the water to boil quickly. When ; the boiling point is reached the water ; should be used at once for making j tea. coffee or other drinks, and not j allowed to steam, simmer and evaporate until the good water is in the atmosphere and the lime, iron and dregs only left in the kettle. Water boiled in the manner described and flavored with a littie lemon juice is often rec- 1 ommended to those suffering from . loss of appetite. I ! The Decorative Plate Shelf. An attractive addition to dining j room or den is a plate shell, eight or j ten inches in width. In the dining > room it may extend all around, if de- ! sired, to hoid ornamental china, steins, J pitchers or other objects of which the j housekeeper has a collection. The height should conform to the wall decoration, and the shelf may be as high as the door casing with advantage. In a den or sitting room, where it is i * - -1? x ! intended lor uric-a-orac, pxioiosiitijua j and such trifles, it is better not to put j 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, tlie furniture of the room, the arrangement of doors and i windows, all have to be taken into con- j sideraiion. The finish of the shelf, j too. is of importance. It is better to ; match the woodwork xf the room, if | possible. ^-nvo the Scraps of Wall Paper. No scraps of wall paper should be j thrown away. They can be utilized in J a dozen different and pretty ways, i One of tho charming tilings makable j from tliom is a lamp shade. Cartridge j paper in old rose, oak, yellow, stone j brown, sage green and regimental ! gray makes especially smart 'shades of the plain, colonial or Empire patterns. Take a yarn and a quarter of the paper and cut from it a wide strip on the bias. Fold it around the wire Empire frame and paste up one seam ; as invisibly as possible. Bind the top \ and bottom c: the shade with a nar- \ row strip of smooth paper, paper bor- i der or ribbon. The binding may be j either darker or lighter in cone than j the paper of the shade itself. The re- j suits gotten by this simple means ore so good that many women now buy or beg scraps of wall paper from papering establishments. When cartridge paper is used, it can be decorated in any one of a dozen different ! ways?water colors, magazine pic- i tures, old prints, marine views, pho > tographs, etc.?Good Housekeeping. Starch I'?i:?li. "Where's the starch polish?" called the new girl on Monday, after the manner of "new girls" who take it for granted that all the special requirements of "my way of doin' things" must be at hand when demanded. This particular variety of starch polish was not on hand on this occasion, however, and the process of preparing it was watched with interest. One ounce of pure white wax was mixed with two ounces of spermateci and a i large pinch of salt. When melted anl i thoroughly blended this was poured in- j to a cup to become cold, and it soon I formed a hard white cake that will i not mould or sour. A piece about the size of a grain of corn is put into sufficient hot starch for two or three shiris. Then, in ironing, after pressing well once, the iioned 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- i ish.?Philadelphia Record.

It is found j ( that these wheats are especially adapt- , 1 ed to the semi-arid plains rrom North j Dakota to Texas. They make excel- , : lent bread and are particularly suit- < able for macaroni. ' Within the past year the population t of the so-callei Colorado desert in ' southern California has grown from t nothing to about a tnousand persons, and a still more rapid increase la : looked for in the near future . Irrigation is turning the desert into farm ; lands. It is calculated that 1,000,000 1 acres will have been reclaimed in this manner, in southern California, Arizona and Lower California, within two or three years. These lands lie 1 in the basin of tae Colorado river, | where the great heat and extreme dry, ness of the air are not unfavorable to t human beings, provided tliat plenty or 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 t very fertile. t 1 QUICK GROWTH OF ELECTRICITY. It lias In Twenty Years revolutionized I Trad". Marvellous progress has been made j in the industrial applications of electricity 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 ' i each dynamo. Scientific discoveries were followed by American inventions ( of ihe greatest importance. The man i ufacture or macnmes ror me uisuiuu- j . tion of the electric current made rapid j strides, and improvements were af- j i fected gradually uniil the types now ! 5 employed were reached. The fact J 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 reI 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, j j Through this water power can be j I utilized in places hitherto inaccessi- i | ble. In late years there have been ' i erected several important waterpower j i plants at Niagara Falls, Montreal, . ! Blue Lakes and other places, and j I there win soon oe m oyerauvu a<. , J Massena Falls a plant of 75,000 horse j I power. In the Pacific coast raining ; districts and elsewhere, long-distance j electrical transmission has made it possible to work mines and industries j requiring power which,, on account ; of great expenses of fuel, otherwise ; it would have been impossible to operate. ' Electricity is gradually establishing itself in heavy railway work. At presi 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 I electrical industries is difficult to approximate. It is enormously large, l however. Thousands of skilled workmen are kept busy. All branches of the business are in a flourishing con: dition. They do much to help along other kinds of manufacturing, vast supplies being needed for the construction and installation of the machinery in use.?New York Times. of Kxerc!?e. Next to bodily cleanliness, exercise may oe reckoned as the greatest aid to beauty. In fact, exercise is almost j necessary to cleanliness, for it is a 5 i j great incentive to perspiration, which i ir. ?r, + ,,,.n'o ivnv r\f tlirnwinc thn imilll Id 11UIU1& O ,?

Open-air g j exercise should be taken every day, ? j but according to strength. One should ? ! return home after waiking, riding or ? 1 cycling with a sense of being pleasant# ; ly fatigued, but without any feeling of lg : exhaustion. Exercise should be taken - i regularly, and, if possible, dumb-bells I should be used right and morning. The '% j corset snould not be worn while exer V ? cising with dumb-bells. Skipping is ]l : an excellent exercise for the figure, and ; it is one of which our grandmothers * were fonu. It is usual with children s to throw the rope forward when skipping, but it is far better to throw it bacicward. for it expands the ehest much better.
