APPLES OF GOLD.
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of
gold set in pictures of silver."?Prov. 25:11.
There was a singer who was mute,
Because all ears seemed deaf to him;
The throbbing measures of the lute,
Or c'nantings in cathedrals dim
Waked in his heart no living strain
Until some one came with a smile
That seemed as sunshine after rain,
To speak a gentle word the while;
And th en his heart with music stirred,
And made a song the whole world heard,
r"
There was a painter?yet his brush
All careless o'er the canvas crept,
And inspiration in the hush
Of nignt no more to being swept,
TT 1-1 v S r '
unui some one come on a day?
A day that had been gloom and cloud?
And stopped but long enough to say
A word with hopetulness endowed;
And then the painter's eyes grew wet,
But his grand work is treasured yet.
There was a soldier; and a word
Sent him to battle armed anew.
There was a king. One thing he heard
Into a greater kingdom grew.
a There was a slave. One came to teach,
And flowers blossomed in the road,
V And the fair balm of gentle speech
Took all the stingings from the goad
And eased his feet where paths were
rough,
One kindly word was word enough.
To-dav the toilers in the heat,
And they who work with cunning hands,
Beioice .to hear some one repeat
The word the sore heart understands.
And this is true of each kind thing.
Breathed in an impulse generous;
It will not die; but it snail bring
A golden echo back to us.
It is as silver pictures old
Where apples glow in ruddy gold.

SUZANNE'S
i UNDOING
By Perry*Worthin^ton.
/ &J?l ^ ^ust twenty*five minutes
^ xa past 5, Suzanne went up7Y
stairs to dress. Dinner was
XjL at lialf-past 6, and there
1!^ ^ would probably be an interval
of about fifteen minutes
between the finishing of dinner
and the coming of Jack.
This happened to be Jack's last night
s;- v in town before his departure for a distaut
city, and if he didn't say it tonight?well,
if he didn't! But he would.
Suzanne was sure of that.
She moved leisurely about the room,
pursuing the mysteries of a somewhat
elaborate toilet, and finally came to the
most important rite of all, the doing of
her hair. Alas! that the doing of Suzanne's
hair should prove to be the undoing
of Suzanne!

V;.. . sort that makes other girls wish that
theirs wasn't quite so straight. WIicd
a lot of them were on a windy drive,
or a boating party, or anything of that
sort, and Suzanne joined in the general
wail of "My hair!" she was always
', exasperated at the unanimous chorus
of "Oh, yours is curly!" She thought
it looked just as badly blowing all
about as that of the others; but as a
matter of fact, it didn't.
t Just now she stood in front of the
' . mirror and regarded herself with -big.
serious eyes, and wondered what she
. should do with .it on this momentous
occasion. What way did Jack like it
the best? At length she piled it in a
. " beautiful, crown-like mass on the top
of her shapely head, picked up a hand!>.
glass, and surveyed it critically from
all points of view.
On any ordinary day it would have
satisfied her; but to-night Suzanm
paused, pulled out a hairpin, pushed it
in again, hesitated, and was lbst. It
must come down. Accordingly, down
it came. Then she coiled it in a soft.
Grecian knot at the back of her neck.
-A- - - The effect was splendid, but when she
< got her gown ou, she couldn't turn
her head; she realized with a sudden
blush that to-night of all nights that
might be rather inconvenient; so off
came the gown and down came the
hair. She was beginning to be a little
out of temper.
With a feeling akin to despair, she
started a "figure eight" at the back of
her head. She was not at all surprised
to discover, on completing it, that it
' . was crooked: not covly and daintily
j- ? - ' . _
askew, but hopelessly, heavily, helplessly
crooked. Just then her small sister
called up from below:
t j "Father wants to know why you
don't come to dinner."
K'~
^ Suzanne began to pull the pins out
;v. of her hair.
"Tell him I don't want any dinner,"
. she announced.
And she began.
She coiled her hair. She twisted it.
She fastened it at the top with an elastic;
she parted it into mysterious
"front" and "side" locks. She brushed
tt back smoothly; she parted it demurely.
She pulled it into a pompadour
that made her look like a French
actress; she dragged it into a "vaudeville
dip," and became almost hysterical
when sB# saw the effect it gave
her usually sweet and refined features.
She brushed it until every tangle was
out: she ran her fingers through it until
it became even as the quills upon the
fretful porcupine. In fact, there was
nothing she did not do to it. short of
cutting it off?and once almost started
to go into her mother's room for the
scissors.
Her small sister finished her dinner,
came into Suzanne's room, sat on the
foot of the bed, criticised, suggested,
advised. All in vain. Suzanne's hair
simpiy would not be done.
Then did Suzanne become weary, and
cast herself upon the bed, and wept
| bitterly.
The small sister racked her brains.
.Mother?" she suggested, doubtfully.
"Mother!" She quailed before the
look of scorn in one hush of Suzanne's

Her small sister winked solemnly in i
the glass.

"He won't," said Suzanne. "He'll | o

and fairly forced her from the room. ! ^
And so if chanced that Jack, waiting j b
in the dimly lighted hall below, saw j c
coming toward him, Suzanne, in a most j b

Then Jack lost his head?just for a j

"Why, my darling," he said, "my
own dear little girl, what is the mat- n
ter?" o
And Suzanne, seeing the light in his v
eyes and his hands held out to her,
very properly flung herself into his P
arms and sobbed on his shoulder. h
After Jack left, the small sister came b

A Xeir Radioactive Element. | I'
Once again the discovery of a new j P
radioactive element is recorded, this c
time in the residue of thorianite. after tl
having been chemically treated to elim- ?
inate other substances. Dr. Halm, who i 0
has made this discovery, was able to { Si
obtain ten milligrams of a crystalline j A
precipitate/ which exhibited marked ti
radioactive powers, and which after ! &
two months showed no diminution, e:
This substance not only glows feebly
in the dark, but causes screens of pia- b
tino-cyanide and zinc sulphide to fluor- e
esce^ brightly. Luminosity is also pro- a
duced if a current of air is blown e
through a solution of this substance c
and then directed on a screen coated j o
with zinc sulphide, though this phen- u
omenon is different from that appear- is
ing with emanium under similar coudi- j n
tions. The new emanation while in ! is
all respects equal to that of thorium is |
remarkable for the fact that thorium j li
itself was not present. Inasmuch as I n
inactive thorium has been found, and i E
tha't the thorium emanation "without l d
ithorium has also been found at Baden- j e
Baden, Dr. Hahn is led to the belief
tbat the new element is the active
constituent of thorium, and that its
presence may explain many of the I
phenomena of radioactivity.?Harper's j

As to Conscience. i
0
The public conscience consists mostI> i 0
of trances. j ^
When once aroused the public con- j n
science eiglis and sobs and sheds blood i ^
with great fervor. j ^
It then closes its eyes and gently j ^
slumbers once more. j ^
Most men prefer the public con- i ^
science asleep. I n
With it in that condition it is much j
easier to stay out after the ringing of g
the curfew. ^
It is also easier to stay the market ^
and strike the public for another cent g
on the gallon.
The man who stirs up the public ! e
conscience sometimes gets stirred j a
under himself. g
It is the prerogative of the public v
conscience to send evil-doers to prison, ^
whence the private conscience of the ?
average governor pardons them out a ?
few at a time.

CLUB NOTES.
Sleeplessness.
One of our exchanges gives the foliwing
cure for insomnia:
"I suppose all of us are suffering i
rorn the invasion of electricity. My
Id friend Bounce, who was a victim
f irisomnia for forty years, thinks
e sleeps now better than any other
jan on earth. He lost liis way in the
idirondacks and stayed over night in
lie cabin of a forester. His sleep was
he deep sleep of a just man made porect.
and in the morning he found that
e had not moved haif an inch all
ight."
" 'It's the insulation.' the forester inisted.
'You city folks are killing
ourselves with contact. If you'll
reak the contact you'll be able to
Iepe and get your uerves back.' "
This matter of "contact" was finally
xplained to mean that our bedposts
re in contact with the floors, the
oors with the walls and the walls
rith mother earth, so that whatever
ersoiial magnetism a man has in him
03s away in the night time, leaving
,im like a log 0:1 his mattress. The
orester had obtained four glass insu
\tors from telegraph poles somewhere
nd screwed them on the posts of his
bed, so that the electricity could
ot run away. Bounce, the very day
e got home insulated his bed, and
rom that moment to the present his
usomnia has been banished.
I havn frequently recommended the
asulation of the bed for insomnia as
veil as for others forms of nervousiess.
Try it.

' Dr. David II. Deader. Laporte, Ind.:
' Dear Sir?I would be greatly pleased
j and I think benefited as well to learn
your opinion of the enema as a means
of treating diseases and as a remedy
for ordinary constipation. Shall we
J use it or not? Our home doctors differ,
j I would also like to ask about the different
forms and causes, especially
the causes of urticaria. We hear a
good deal of it during this hot weather.
Assuring you that your opinion will
be highly appreciated, and hoping to
have it soon. I remain, D. S.
In some cases the enema is quite necessary
and does a vast amount of good.
As a general cure-all I cannot recommend
it so highly as some do. In
some cases it is positively harmful.
Each case must be studied separately
and treatment given according to the
specific needs.
The enema properly taken is better
in the majority of cases than severe
physic, but under proper living neither
is required.
Urticaria, hives or nettle rash is
caused by stomach disorders and frequently
follows very quickly after eat'

I must confess that the destruction
of fleas is not in my line. I do not remember
ever having been bitten by a

are plentiful can give the desired information.

the cause of taking cold as often as

three or four hours and then it gradually
leaves me again. Am also troubled
with headache and sick stomach.
Sometimes vomiting nothing but bitter

weak. It generally last only one day
at a time. Will be very thankful for
finr information vou mav give.
Yours truly,
MRS. L. Y.
The condition which you call a cold
which you take two or three times per
week is an acute catarrhal difficulty,
or what some would call hay fever.It
can be cured in nearly all cases by
the use of the tissue elements advocated
by Dr. Schucssler, of which ^
have so often spoken of in Club Notes:
The tissue elements will also relieve
the headaches and sick spells.
