HAZE.
OSi, hazy days af royal t?nt, a sweet celestial
smoke
Impurples all the fading world and folds its
mystic cloak
About my soul till substance seems a "weird,
illusive thing,
And only vapory visions of enchantment round
me swing.
The ragged road and duty's load are blurred
by restful mist;
A gentle presence leads me on to some idyllic
tryst
Beyond the frnig, to meet, perchance, the
spirit of my dream
She priestess of a blissful realm, where peace
is all supreme.
-George E. Bowen in Chicago Liter Ocean.
IN A MEXICAN MARKET.
Parrots, Poppies, Scrap Iron and Boiled
Grasshoppers For Sale.
The articles seen in the market I will
here give as they were written down
during a Sunday morning visit, says a
writer in the New York Advertiser.
One department is under cover and is
tilled with assorted fruits, including
oranges, lemons, limes, pineapples,
pears, peaches, plums, bananas, quinces,
alligator pears, cocoanuts and many
other tropical fruits, most of which,
owing to the high market tax and costly
transportation, sell at about New York
prices. The streets and sidewalks in the
vicinity are lined with men, women and
children, who are seated on the ground
surrounded byiheir market products,
which include, ?besides the ordinary
vegetable market product, parrots, pi?
geons, unwearied puppies, game chickens,
pet lambs, haltered pigs and kids. Then
there are heaps of old iron, birdcages,
, cheap calico, brass jewelry, boiled corn,
potatoes, stewed pumpkins, beans, pep?
per, cooked and raw pigs' feet, sheep
heads, hearts, lights and entrails. There
are also flints and tinder for starting
' fires, metal mounted stone for grinding
corn, roots, bark and medical herbs and
dye woods. Close by we see fried
shrimp and grasshoppers. Each are
cooked whole and eaten sa The latter
are about the size, of our common grass?
hopper, but are entirely red, but as to
looks I would jost as soon try to go the
common ' 'hopper' ' of the north. Besides
these the natives gather the eggs of the
swamp fly and boil them into a paste
and eat them with salt, chili (pepper)
and tortillas. The fly and its eggs are
each sold in the market The former is
somewhat smaller than the house fly,
while the eggs are about the size and
?olor of a hayseed. In fact, everything
is eaten here that the human stomach
will digest or anything that is capable
of being converted into soup.
QUEEN AGAINST HER WILL.
Ifaxgnret Yoong Reluctantly Rules Over
Some South Sea Islands.
The bark Helen N. Almy, just re?
turned to San Francisco from a trading
voyage among the islands of the south
Pacific, brings the story of a princess
who rules over the Manna group against
her wishes, though her subjects worship
her much after the fashion that the Pe?
ruvians humbled themselves before the
virgins of the sun.
Margaret Young is the granddaugh?
ter of Francis Young, an English sailor
who landed at the island\of Tau nearly
100 years ago and married the native
queen. Through the death of all the
heirs apparent to the throne of the Man?
nas Margaret found herself called upon
to rule. The news was conveyed to her
at Apia some months ago by a delega?
tion-of chiefs from Manna, and she was
forced by the laws of heredity obtain?
ing in the southern archipelago to ac?
company them back to Tau, where she
was installed as queen.
She is 22 years of age and highly ed?
ucated. At the time of her sudden call
from Apia she was pursuing her studies
at a Catholic convent
Captain Luttrell of the Almy and his
wife, who accompanied him on his last
trip, were the first white people permit?
ted to interview the queen. She told
them that her life was one of misery in
spite of the great respect shown her by
her native subjects. The sanctity of her
dwelling is rigidly preserved by war?
riors, who stand ready to decapitate the
intruder who dares to enter her pres?
ence without first being especially sum?
moned.
"The grand chief of tho group is the
only man that is allowed to approach
the queen, ' ' explained Captain Luttrell.
4'He attends to her wants, assisted by
two maids, who never leave her side,
except when they are called upon to do
her bidding. Shonld any native desire
to pay tribute to her in the shape of fish
or fowl, he must fasten his gift upon
the end of a bamboo pole, advance with
closed eyes and thrust the stick through
the doorway of the palace. She is not
allowed to walk outside her cabin's
limits. She must be carried on a litter
by her maids, and when she ventures
forth upon such a journey subjects are
ordered under pain of death to keep
hidden in their respective domiciles. "
The queen explained to Captain Lut?
trell that she desired to be freed, but
had never dared to say so to those who
held her prisoner.
How to Read.
We cannot too strongly impress every
daughter with the fact that habits of
reading are wonderfully powerful
Early learn to read only good books,
and read them critically and thought?
fully. The purpose for which we read a
book must not be mere pleasure. We
must aim to obtain and retain the au?
thor's thought and meaning. Few good
books do not have some particular ques?
tion upon which they dwell strongly.
A few well directed questions from fa?
ther, mother or brother will help to
bring this to light, and in addition will
enforce the fact that an opinion of one's
own is of more value than a dozen that
were begged, borrowed or stolen from
some eminent man or woman. Many
people regret that they were not early
taught to consider the author's name a
portion of the title of his book and are
continually remarking, "Oh, I can't re?
member who wrote that book."-Mil?
waukee Wisconsin.
WHAT CAN ONE DO?
Doctors Forbid Both Indulging and Re?
pressing One's Anger.
When a girl is young and in the stage
of pinafores and bibs, she is told that
she must not indulge in fits of ill tem?
per because it is ' 'naughty. " That is a
matter of perfect indifference to tho
child, but the punishment that follows
an outbreak of fury is tolerably effective
in decreasing the number of such out?
breaks. When she is older, she is warned
against temper on the ground that it is
a destroyer of beauty and a promoter of
wrinkles. Finally, when she has reached
the age when neither its effect upon her
appearance nor the danger in which it
places her soul bothers her she is warned
against an outburst of temper as being
injurious to her health.
It is claimed by physicians that to in?
dulge in rage is a profitless performance
and worse than that It not only has no
effect, as a usual thing, upon the thing
raged at, but it exhausts the nerve forces
and leaves the angry person weak and
tired. A series of outbursts will put a
woman in a condition where the sanita?
rium is a necessity.
But let not the woman who simply re?
presses her emotions imagine that she is
going to escape. Repression of anger or
of pain, or of whatever may be the pre?
dominating sentiment of the moment,
may be carried to an excess and then
those same wise doctors who decry the
indulgence in temper bewail its repres?
sion. The woman who continually hides
and subdues her feelings is courting
nervous disease au d exhaustion as sure?
ly as her violent sister is.
There is only one thing to do, and that
is to cultivate a charming disposition
that never feels any particular emotion.
The woman who never gets angry and
consequently never has either to repress
her feeling or to indulge it, is the one
who will reach a wrinkleless old age,
who will win golden opinions concerning
her amiability and who will never have
to seek a sanitarium or try the rest cure.
