THE WAY OF A MAID. She beard him in tbe parlor, where Impatiently he sat And ran his fingers through his hair. And juggled with bis bat. She tugged at her engagement ring And tried to get it loose, Because she wished to hide the thing For further, future use. She licked her Inger, and, at last, With gladness In her breast. She hurried down the stairs and cast Herself upon his chest. What If she wronged the other man By taking off her ring? A girl should always hare more than One beau upon her string. . THE LITTLE WOMAN. From the mysterious seat of Judgment where fashions are decreed the edict ,has come forth that the large masculine girl has been deposed and her small feminine sister has become the popular favorite Whence this supersedeas comes no one; can say. Perhaps it Is public opinion not expressed, . but quietly enforced. Anyway the masculine girl is taking her departure. The return of the "feminine girl" can but be regarded , as a favorable sign, though it must be admitted that the awing of the pendulum Is largely responsible for the change. The boisterous style of the masculine young woman had reached an extreme bordering on the uncouth and the vulgar. The eighteenth century lass can of course never return. The young woman of this day must remain to a large extent an "out-door" girl even when she ceases to compete with men in haberdashery and the broadjump and football. This Is as It should be. The healthy, bright eyed and ruddy cheeked girl, distinctly feminine, however, in manners and dress, marks a great advance oyer the frail misses of former times,' whose sole calisthenics was the blackboard and whose exercise was gained at tambourwork and spinnet. 1 Yet the demure maids of century before last had much to be said In their favor. Their occupations, narrow though they might be were genuinely useful. They had occupations that provided both for comfort and character. The proverbial spinning wheel is one of tbe most sacred of traditions. It Is as Inseparable from memory as Is the good old-fashioned family fire side that 4

has gone with It. The oldtime feminine girl, who charms memory and enriches history can never return. She will ever live in poetry and art but she could never fit herself into a modern city home. She would seem sadly out of place at the up-todate social functions. Her home-made finery and her home-made complexion are out of style. But the modern girl can at least be a woman. And men are learning to like her better as such. So in the long run It would be better for the girl and woman of today to keep clear of those things which go to make women masculine. Feminity is a charm of its own.

Parks of Enst Main street. MUSSuAL MOUNTAINS. Binging Cliffs In th Pyrenees and Roaring Ssnds In Hawaii. In certain parts of the world are mountains and hills which are said by the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees certain clills emit plaintive sounds retembling the strains of a harp. Two ther cliffs in the same chain are called tbe "snorers." When the wind is in the southwest they send forth a peculiar sound not altogether musical. The faces of these cliffs are marked by deep gullies, open in front, which may be compared to the pipes of an organ. At certain times a stratum of air, held between the cliffs and bordering trees, closes the openings while the wind blows freely between through the gullies, or organ pipes, behind; hence the music that is heard. At the confluence of the Orinoco and the Rio Meta are granite cliffs which sing at sunrise. Humboldt refers to the phenomenon as the musical stones of the Orinoco. Tbe music is caused by the rush of the expanding air through fissures partly closed by mica. Many more examples might be cited to show that nature makes use of principles which have been adopted by man in the creation of musical sounds. Nor are the musical sounds of nature confined to rocks, mountains and hills, for In Hawaii is a sand bank fifty feet high which, when the hand is moved about in the loose sand, produces a sound like that of a melodeon. It is said that if the observer slides down the bank on bis back, dragging both hands In tbe sand, the sound becomes as loud as faint thunder. Harper's Weekly. Adirondack. "Adlroudacks" is an Indian word meaning "wood eaters' and was a term applied In derision to a defeated Indian tribe driven to the mountains by the Iroquois and forced to live there on bark and berries.

POWER OF AN AUDIENCE. Influence It Exert Over an Actor or a Speaker. No orator Uvlng was ever great enough to give out the same power and force and magnetism to an empty hall, to empty seat, that he coald giT to an audience capable of being fired by his theme. . In tbe presence of tbe audience lies a fascination, an indefinable magnetIsm, that stimulates all the mental faculties and acts as a tonic and vlUllxer. An orator can say before an audience what be could not possibly have said previous to going on the platform, just as we can often say to a friend la animated conversation things which we could not possibly say when alone. As wben two chemicals are united a new substance is formed from the combination which did not exist in either alone, the speaker feels surging through his brain tbe combined force of his audience, which he calls insplratidh. a mighty power which did not exist in his own personality before be rose to his feet No public speaker ever forgets that first surprising feeling of confidence. Actors tell us that there is an indescribable inspiration which comes from tbe orchestra, the footlights, the audience, which it is impossible to feel at a cold mechanical rehearsal. There is something in a great sea of expectant faces which awakens tbe ambition and arouses the reserve of power which can never be felt except before an audience. The power was there just the same before, but it was not aroused. Success Magazine.

Bowing In 17801 Bowing In 1790 was quite a ceremony judging from the rule for doing it properly, given in the Atlantic: "If yon bow te any one passing by do it in this manner: Raise the right hand to your hat gracefully. "Put your forefinger a far as tbe crown and your thumb under the brim, and then raise It from your bead gracefully and easily. "Look at the person you bow to, and hold your body gently forward. "Hold your left ana straight down at your side, neither drawing it forward or backward. "Move the right leg. tf the person goes by on the right aide, and keep the other firm. "If the person goes by on the left side move tbe left leg and keep the right firm. "Let your body be bowed moderately, not too much.

HEADACHY, COHSTIPATED, BILIOUS, TIE DEUCIST S OF FIGS." Removes the scum from the tongue, sweetens a sour, gassy, bilious stomach; cleanses your liver and 30 feet of bowels without gripe or nausea.

If headachy, bilious, dizzy, tongue coated, stomach sour and full of gas. j you belch undigested food and feel sick and miserable, it means that your liver is choked with sour bile and your thirty feet of bowels are clogged with effete waste matter not proprely carried off. Constitpation is worse I than most folks believe. It means that this waste matter in the thirty feet of bowels decays into poisons, gases and acids and that these poisons are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. Most people dread physic. They think of castor oil, salts and cathartic pills. They shrink from the after effects so they postpone the dose until they get sick; then they do this liver and bowel cleansing in a heroic way

Fieewres In the Reekie. In some of the high plateaus er mesas of the Rocky mountains there are to be found a short distance from the edge cracks or fissures not more than four feet wide and often as much as eighty feet deep. During tbe terrific blizzards that rage in the winter these crevices are filled to tbe level, and cattle and horse which are not acquainted with tbe country frequently drop Into them, their straggles only causing them to sink deeper and deeper. The cracks, into which the sun never penetrates, are like refrigerators, and tbe hapless brutes, wben death has com to their relief, become, to all intents snd purposes mummies.
