TO MRS. D. M. JORDAN. Back-drifting along the dead years There awakened a strange, new rhyme Its sigh and its tremble of tears Are not for the laughter-less time That crownB with Its sorrows the end, That, smiting, still blesses, O friend! My song woold its pity outpour On the feverous fervor of youth That speeds for the snares set before And welcomes fair falsenesB as truth That plunging, the mad waves to ride, Is torn in the swirl of the tide. Dim-shadowed the desolate place, For the condles were flickering low, As silent we sat, face to face, Lost in dreams of that far long ago "While the sleet and the wintry rain Beat drear on the echoing pane. O! thy Past with its blossomings fair. With its glory-engirdled days! When love-light illumined the air, And warm thy melodious lays, When life seemed so Bunny and long. Quick-pulsing with jubilant song. We have buried the hopes that betray And wept the dead, beautiful dreams. And we pass from Jfe's fever away To wander by shadowy streams. O poet! so saddened and blest, Thine heritage holdeth sweet rest. N. L. Jenkinson. BY MRS. JENKINSON. The above poem was written and published in Richmond in December, 1891, ami written by Mrs. Isaac Jenkinson, of this city, whose verse was referred to In another column a few days since.

No one requires as much food In summer as they dodn cold veather. Serve only the lighter-and more easily digested foods, and see that the milk is kept cool and the fruit ripe. It Is quite natural to expect some disturbance, such as constipation, indigestion, or summer diarrhoea, often accompanied by a cold. A mild laxative at bed time will, in most cases, carry off the congested waste from the stomach next morning and by cleaning the bowels restore normal conditions. Cathartic remedies and purgatives should never be used for children. They are harsh and violent in their action and tend to upset the entire system. The combination of simple laxative herbs; with pepsin, known as Dr. Caldwell) Syrup Pepsin, and sold by druggists for fifty cents a bottle, is now very generally used to correct stomach and bowel trouble. It is mild and pleasant to the taste and contains no drastic drug, or narcotic, but acts naturally and easily, yet most effectively. A larger bottle, containing more than twice the quantity, is sold for one dollar. If you have never used Sjrrup Pepsin and would like a free trial bottle, postpaid, write to Dr. W, B. Caldwell, 406 Washington street, tMonticello, Illinois.

Woman's World

New President of Woman's Clubs a Capable Leader. MBS. PEBCY T. PKNJCYPACKEB. Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker, who was recently elected president of the General Federation of Womea's Clubs, will direct Its destinies for the next two years. The new president possesses in her makeup a striking combination of conservatism and progresslveness which distinguishes her as one of the sanest and calmest minds in the forefront, ot the modern woman movement and at the same time as one of the most courageous. A notable orator, fluent and compelling, she is anything but a voluble woman, being rather given to listening both in public and private, to weighing her words and to withholding them until the predetermined moment for utterance arrives. Both Virginia and Texas claims Mrs. Pennypacker as their daughter. She began life In the Old Dominion State as Anna. J. Uardwicke and has lived In Texas since her early childhood. A true daughter of the south, she is one of the most delightful expressions of the traditions and charming characteristics that have elevated the gentlewomen of the old south into a world of their own. Mrs. Pennypacker was one of the pioneers who laid the foundation of the present public school educational system In Texas and is the author of a history of Texas, which has been used in most of the state schools, public and private, for the last twenty-five years. The new club president has been more fortunate In her domestic life than is given to most women destined to a public career. Her husband himself was a noted educator, and during the years of her early married life, when her children and her homemakIng were her first care, he extended to her every aid in her work for human betterment. Her husband died In 1S09, and she at once assumed the added duties of administering to her children's and her own financial interests. In doing this she developed the practical business sense which has made her services as a member of the general federation board of such high value. Mrs. Pennypacker's home In Texas Is a distinguished social and intellectual center from which radiates a cordial and generous hospitality. Here she lives, one of the busiest women of America. Her own band on the domestic machinery; her children are devoutly mothered. From here she attends to the publishing of her textbooks and manages her own financial affairs generally: keeps in close touch with social duties and church activities; Is the guiding spirit of her home club; she is patroness of every movement for the advancement of education and the expression of culture among the people; responds to continnal demands for public lectures and still finds time for widely extended travel and broad study. A busy woman certainly is Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker, president of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs. Women as Wireless Operators. Women will supplant men as wireless operators on the steamships In the north Pacific if the plans of R. U. Armstrong, manager of a wireless telegraph company that has contracts with many liners, are followed. Mr. Armstrong, who says men are not always satisfactory, has engaged Miss Mabel Kelso and Miss S. Through for his first woman operators and turned them over to Chief Operator C. B. Cooper for Instructions. The young women will be taught to repair. Will Address Army Women. Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife of the chief of staff of the army, w ill undertake to get the co-operation of army women in the plan for a woman's memorial- to the men who died on the Titanic. She will address a letter to every woman connected with the army asking for contributions. For Pantry Shelves. Do away with papers on your pantry shelves by substituting for them two or three coatings of white enamel. The effect will appeal to housekeepers on account of its inviting and cleanly appearance, aside from its sanitary qualities. In area the United States of America exceeds three million square miles.

WEIGHT OF A TRAIN.

The Dining Car Alone, Ready For Service, Weigh 140,000 Pounds. The heaviest of all the car in a "limited" train is the dining car, which ia ordinarily of a weight In excess of the other cars by 10.000 or 15.000 pounds Between the car construction and the necessary kitchen equipment and icebox contents, a full size standard dining car tips the scales at 140.000 pounds when ready to make its customary division run. Therefore, on the principle that in case of collision a passenger is safer in the strong, heavy coach in the center of a vestlbuled train, the dining car is a good place to remain. A sixteen section sleeping car may weigh from 110.000 to 125.000 pounds, while the buffet-library car of the transcontinental type comes next In weight at 107.000 pounds. The baggage car. weighing 85.000 pounds, may be the lightest in a train, but the postal car next to it weighs on an average 103.000 pounds, a reclining chair car Is full weight ot &T.W0 pounds, while the ordinary passenger coach weighs 93.000 pounds. With a locomotive and tender weighing 200.000 pounds, one may estimate by these figures the enormous weight of some of the through modern railway I trains of seven cars. New York Press WATCH HER AT DINNER. A Parieian Gourmet'o Way of Getting at a Woman's Age. A Parisian gourmet thinks he has discovered an infallible method for getting gat a woman's age watch her at dinner. If she goes through every course, chattering all the time, and Is equal to an Ice after dessert, not to mention chocolates and crystallized fruits, she is still in her teens. If she makes a good start with the hors d'oeuvres. does well with the caviar, salmon and such . delicacies, but shows no Interest in the rest of the meal, she is between twenty and thirty and married. When she declines every other kind of game, but takes some pheasant, she has passed thirty, but baa not yet reached thirty-five. After thirty-five she dotes on every kind of game, the more highly flavored the better. If at the end of dinner she takes cheese, showing special partiality for the odorous Camembert, then, says the Parisian observer, there can be no manner of doubt about It she is a lady of uncertain age. Paris Cor. New York Sun. The Meanest Man Bill. They were discussing the freak bills that get themselves Introduced Into congress every year when a Colorado representative said: "Sometimes I think the greatest boon we could have in this country would be the adoption of a federal statute in accordance with a bill an odd character in Colorado once wanted me to offer to the state legislature It was entitled the meanest man bill and provided for an election in every county each year to determine who was the meanest man in the county. The man receiving the highest vote was to be hanged. Think of the good such a statute would do! Just consider what decent citizens all the people would be who received a few scattering votes! And those who stood any chance of leading the ticket would move away. In two or three years every place where the law was In operation would become a model community." New York Press. Muaio of Street Boys. One point regarding street music puzzles this writer. How does the average small boy manage to add to his repertoire the latest song from the latest musical comedy within a day or two of Its production at a west end theater? It is hardly likely that he attends the theater to hear it at first hand. One can hardly imagine him buying the 6core to learn it that way. And as for those important factors In musical education, the gramophones, the park bunds and the barrel organs, he generally forestalls them by weeks. Whence, then, does he gain his knowledge? It is as mysterious as the passage of news to the Indian bazaar before the official telegrams have arrived. London Spectator. In Norway electricity is much cheaper than steam power on acount of the great waterfalls and mountain torrents that are harnesed to machinery.

RILED THE ART STUDENT.

He Reeented at Firat the Comments of His Unknown Critic. An art student was copying one of Abott S. Thayer's paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York one day when a plainly dressed man who looked as if he might be a me chanic approached and, posting himself at the young man's elbow, watched him as he labored over his subject. "You've got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye Is too oblique." remarked the man decidedly. The studeat blinked angrily, and tb hand that wielded the brush trembled slightly, but he took no notice of the unsolicited criticism. "There la too much yellow in your flesh tint." continued the man. Still no reply from the student, who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow in the high light on the nose. "Did you hear what I said?" questioned the man. "Yes, I did," responded the student wrathfully, turning and glaring at his modest looking critic. "What do you know about it. anyway?" "I ought to know something about it." was the smiling resionse. "It was I who painted the picture." New York Press. Books and Spurs. A contemporary manuscript account of the diet of Ratisbon, held in 1C30 by the Emperor Ferdinand II. on the occasion of the landing of Gustavu? Adolphus of Sweden in Germany, mentions as a remarkable fact that the Hungarian cavalry who rode through the streets to the ceremonial wore their spurs on their boot soles. It Is difilcult to credit that these spurs were fixed on the flat of the boot, for thus shod the horsemen could neither walk nor stand, especially when the large size of the spurs woru at th? period Is considered. Probably the writer intended to indicate that Instead of being fastened to the heel In the usual fashion they were made to project from the fore part of the military boot, which Is a portion of the sole. The same manuscript adds that the Hungarian horses had their manes, tails and feet painted reil Clear Proof.

To quote him: "When a coiled rattlesnake needed stirriuii up I shook a short stick in his face. If we caught a big 'jator or crocodile on a bank I was the one to keep between It and its home. In river or bay, aud discourage with a club its advance.

"Even tarpon fishlug was made adventurous, and half a dozen time a !ay I heard the shout: " 'Can't you pull your canoe nearer the fish? I mut have human Interest." "Then I dragged on the lin till the canoe was over n fish that was bigger than I. which often shot ten feet over my hea l, sometimes crashing Into the canoe, when instead of being promptly rescued I was likely to hear the cn'l: " "Swim fnrther out. where the light Is K-tterr " The Ducking Stool In England. The latest recorded use of the ducking stool in England (the designationa cucking and ducking were, of course, synonymous in the days of Queen Elizabeth) was iu 1SO0 It was at Leominster, when a woman named Janny IMpes. alias Jane Corran. was paraded through the town on the ducking stool and ducked in the water near Kenwater bridge by order of the magistrates. In 1S17 another woman, called Sarah Leake, was wheeled round the place In the same chair, but not ducked, as. fortunately for her, the water was too low.

A POOR TYPE OF CITIZEN.

The Geod Man Who Live by and Exclusively For Himself. I know a certain type of man who poses as a good citizen, say Bert Walker. He breaks no law. Uvea moral!y, pays hla honeet debts and ! ueer tangled up In lawsuits. Bnt he lives of himself, by himself and for himself only. Wheu a call Is issued for volunteers to take hold of the car of progress and give a lift he never anawers. When calamity ha befallen people In a certain locality and charitable humanity files to their rescue he ia never one of their number. When money la needed to gild the spire of public enterprise his name is never on the list. When he see some neighbor stuck la the mud he goes around to avoid him. In fact, were he standing on the ahore and should observe the ship of state fast sinking in the aurf, never a life line would he throw. He didn't bore the hole in the side of the vessel that lets in the water, so It 1 none of his concern what happens. But were all mankind made of this kind of clay have you ever thought what would happen?
