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

And the great sea round him glistens, and

Arid out of the Night he cometh, and into

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."

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.

PIGEON-HOLES OF STEEL.
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.

Proper Way to Poil Water.
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.

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

during the polishing; if too cool it
will take longer to give the right pol- i

Railway traveling in Russia is proverbially
slow, but has not the compensating
advantage of safety, judging
from some statistics furnished by
the ministry of ways and communications.
The latest compiled data are
for the year 1900, in which year there
wero 44-17 accidents; that is, on an
average, about a dozen per day. Of
this total 1302 were derailments, 750
collisions and 2335 of various other
descriptions. Altogether 1226 persons
were killed and 6933 injured.
Dr. C. I\. Leith, who is preparing a

range of Minnesota for the United
States Geological Survey, says that
the rapid development of this range,
since its discovery 10 years ago, has,
in itself, been sufficients give Airir!
ican steel manufacturers the advantage
in foreign markets. It is the
, greatest iron range known in the
, world, and the amount of ore in sight j
. on the Mesabi is roughly estimate 1
at 500,000,000 tons. Several of the
j mines are shipping more than 1,000,j
000 tons of ore a year.

- this species of wheat, and they differ I
' from ordinary wheat not only in their j
ability to resist the effects of drought, J 1
but in their appearance. The heads ' ;
are big and flattened, with much chaff, j ]
long beards and very large yellowish- J
? white grains, which are extremely j .
hard and viteous in fracture and often j :
somewhat transparent. 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- , :

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

; California much is also supplied by
; Artesian wells. The irrigated land is

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.

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

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.
