A Slimmer Song.
Holy-poly honey-bee,
Humming in the clover,
' With the given loaves under you,
And the blue iky over,
Why lire you so busy, pray T
Never still a minute,
Hovering now above a flower,
Now lialf-tmiied in it!
Jaunty rohbin red-breast,
Singing loud mid oheerly,
From the pink-white apple tree
In the morning early,
Tell mo, is your merry song
Just lor your own pleasure,
Toured from suoh a tiny throat,
Without stint or moasure T
Little yellow buttercup,
By the wayside smiling,
Lilting up your happy lane,
With such sweet beguiling,
Why are you so gnyly clad
Cloth of gold your raiment T
Do the sunshine and the dow
lxKk to you ior payment T
ltoscs in the garden bods,
Lilies, cool and saintly,
Darling blue-eyed violets,
Tansies, hooded quaintly,
Sweet peas that, like butterflies,
Dance the bright skies under

Or for ours, I wonder!

Stel a had fainted away.
It was a stirring morning that fol
lowed at the little Sea-shell house, pro
viding for the rescued, listening to their
story, and taUing over the event. When
Stella left her room, about noon, she
was met by fishernran's wife bringing
her a sealed note. " I found it in the
pocket of Jim's pea-jacket, and I made
out how it was lor Miss Stella Ames,
and they told me you were the lady as
lainted on the beach." she explained.
" You see, Jim has gone for the doctor
up to town, and he changed his coat
first to look ship-shape like."
"Thank you," said Stella. "Who
can have written to me here?" as she
tore it open and read :
" I am going to carry the life-line out
to a shipwrecked crew. I shall probably
never return alive, but it is their only
chance, vvmio you are dreaming on
your pillow I shall, perhaps be tasting
the bitterness of death and parting

"John Addenkeid."
Then she turned to the torn envelope
addressed to " Miss Stella Ames, Sc i-
Bhell House. To be given her only in
case I never return." The revelation
was premature. Colonel Audenreid had
returned, but so spent tbat the doctor
had beeu summoned from town. Mr
Martin took his family back to Martin
vale. but Colonel Audenreid remained
at the seaside a fortnight longer under
treutment. In the mean time, Stella
went home home for Stella meanlnsr at

It wag no wonder that Mrs. Davis
found Stella distraught that day, talking
at random, absent-eyed and fantastic in
her moods. What did it all mean?
Why had Colonel Audenreid written
her that note if he loved Felicia, and
why was he going to marry her if he
loved somebody elseP Didn't he know
that she had received his message of
loveP Or did he mean simply to ignore
it, having seen fit to change P From

nothing more was ever likely to happen
to her, that there had been some dread
ful mistake somewhere, which had lent
her days a rose-color for a little while,
to be sure, only to leave them grayer
and more forlorn than before.
Ail at once she remembered with a
shudder that Colonel Audenreid's fatal
note was at Martin vale, that one morn
ing she had been reading it and getting
it ijy heart in her own room, when
Felicia knocked at her door, and she
had slipped the precious document be
tween the leaves of her "Golden
Treasury" lying on the toilet table:
and then Felicia had entered with Mrs.
Davis summons for Stella to return to
duty, and in her hasty packing and de
parture she bad left Martinvale without
the "Golden Treasury." Some day
she promised herself to beg leave of
Mrs. Davis to run away to Martinvale
and secure her treasure, not that its
possession would signify to her any
longer, only in order to keep it from
not hear to being left an hour, and
sometimes Stella cherished the insane
idea of writing to Mrs. Martin and re
questing that lady to send the " Golden
Treasury of Song," which she would
hnd in the gable room, without open
ing it.
" Dear Mr. Davis," she begged one
day, when a couple of months had gone
by, and she bad beard no more of pearls
and satins and bridemalds from Felicia,

" Yes, I will, and then you will surely
let me go. When I was at Martinvale

crew when we were all at the beach to-

note lor me, in case be never returned ;

" Well, there aid as good fish in the

and look after Felicia's happiness, if
you will." And lor the first time Mrs.
Davia kisced Stella's white cheek.
You might have been my cousin, you

But Stella never reached Martinvale.
Stepping into the station, she ran
against Colonel Audenreid stepping
out. witn ner lioiaen treasury ' in his

breathing space.
"I was going to you," said the
colonel.

Sand-Showers In China.

causing serious diseases of the eye. This
dust, or sand, as the people call it, pene
trate bouses, reaching even apartments
which eeem securely closed. It is sup
posed to come from the great desert of
Gobi, as the sand of the iabara is
taken up by whirlwinds and carried
hundreds of miles away. The Chinese,
while sensible to the personal discom

signed to them from a con vio tion that

They Bay that a year of numerous sand
shower is alwavs a year ot great fer-
tili y. The Band probably imparts some
enriching elements to the soil, ana it
also tends to loosen the compact allu
vil matter of the Chinese valleys. It is
possible that these showers may be
composed ot microscopic insects, like
similar showers which have been noticed
in the Atlantic ocean.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.

The fichu is a very conspicuous lea-
ture in summer toilet", and appear?
in various ways. Sometimes it is m:ide
of the dress materia), and forms the
drapery on the bosom; when made of
white muslin, and very small, it takes
the place of a collar or frill ; again.Wie
large shawl-shaped hchus ot wnne lace
and mull are used to complete watering-place
toilets; and the fichu-mantle
of black lace, Surah, or camel's-hair
is the fashionable wrap for city streets
or drives. The fichu aa part of the dress
trimming is especially pretty on thin
muslm, grenadine, or light sun dresses.
F'or such purposes it is jriade of four
folds of the material cut bias, and edged
at the top and bottom with a narrow
plaiting, or else a ruffle of the goods
taken double. This passes around the
back of the neck, and extends down the
fronts as far as the top of the darts,
where it is rounded off. or else it may be
lengthened bo that the ends will be con
cealed under the belt. A ruffle of Lice
or a linen collar is worn around the neck.
Very small fichus of white soft mull are
made with a point behind, are turned
over at the toe ana rounaea in iront :
they are then edged with lace two inch
es wide, and this lace is also put on the
upper part, which is turned down, thus
makinz two rows in the back. When
completed this fichu is scarcely larger
than a lady's pocket-handkerchief folded
triangularly, and is worn close and high
about the throat, dispensing with the
warm linen collar or the fullruffof lace
It is cool and pleasant for summer wear,
and is very dressy. Ladies who make
braid laces, and who do fanciful pat
terns of tatting, make this small fichu
without muslin, and entirely of the tat
ting or lace. The shawl-shaped muslin
fichus are large enough to reach nearly
to the elbows, are quite straight and
close-fit' ing across the back, and have
ends looselv tied in front. They are
shaped by a seam in the back, where a
Sio.ieu piece is set, ju. iuc uppci jmii,
of the fichu is turned down very broad-

meets the row of lace on the lower edge.

White Bilk-muslin fichus are made to

black fichus, to be worn in the same

Something Hood.
Whon over the lair lame of lricnd or loo
The blight of deep disgrace shall fall, instead
Ol woit'8 ol blame, or prool of thus an l s,
Lot something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
Mar fall so low but love may lilt hii head j
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If somet hing good bo said.
No pitying hcirt may vainly torn asido
In ways ol charity; no sonl so dead
But may awaken Btrong and glorinod,
If something good be said.
And so I charge ye, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior bled,
And by yonr own sonl's hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said !

Warm Weather Diet.
The first warm days are fruitful of
complaints about the failure of appetite.
Breakfasts are no longer relished ; din
ners afford but a languid interest, ana
suppers Beem superfluous. Only vigor
ous workers out oi aoors, or young peo
ple who are so blessed as not yet to have
made the acquaintance ol their stomachs,
come to tho tabic with a real zest for
food. And it is no wonder, considering
iow few people have yet learned the art
of altering their diet to suit their own
conditions :md the state ot the season.
The spring appetite fails and ought to
fail, belore ham ana eggs or a great
piece of steak, on these enervating first
warm mornings of the year. Rich soups,
heavy meats and all stimulating and
blood making artiohs of diet, that met a
real want iu tho nipping and eager air of
winter, are as much out ol place now as
the furs and ulsters. And yet many a
person who would think it a sign of
luimcy to dress iu tho December style in
May, does not appear to see r.ny incon-
gruity in eating iu mo iiximun nw.w"
Food and coal create heat, and thick
clothing and tight houses preserve it for
the comfort of tho body in winter. Yet
men who know enough to dump tueir
furnaces, open the window and lay oil
their overcoats on the advent oi t-pung,
are stupid enough to keep on stoking
their stomach at full blast and consider
themselves "out-of-sorts" and ill if
nature resents tho abuse.
It is time to let up on the cold weatuer
diet especially for persons doomed to
live indoors. A mold of well-cooked
oatm.al, served cold wita cream and
sugar, with two or three oranges and a
cup of coffee, makes an adequate and
appetizing breakfast. All fruits and
vegetables attainable tit in well at this
season. The many preparations of the
small grains afford a variety which it
is well to study. Milk and eggs and huh
contain all the needed food-eiements for
a diet of a month or two, with such
sugar and starch as the housewife com
bines in toothsome light puddings or
other d&serts. Whether we eat to live
or live to est, we ou-iht to be rational
enough to dispense with food when not
hungry and to tempt rather than force
the appetite. Golden Rule.
