VANITY.
At five a maiden’s wants are few;
A get of blocks, a doll or two;
A little place inside to play.
1¢ it should come a rainy
A pair of shoes, a pinafore:
1 really think of nothing more.
Ner wants she overmuch at ten;
A birthday party now and then,
A bit of ribbon for her hair,
A little better dress to wear.
Perhaps a pony cart to drive
4 bit more than she did at five.
A modest increase at fifteen:
A party dress, in red or green,
A room alone that she mey fix
With bric-a-brac and candlesticks,
A parasol, a fan -and, oh!
I quite forgot to add a beau.
At twenty she is quite above
All childish wants she asks but love,
And dreams of Princes, tall and fair,
Who come a-wooing and who dare
All dangers: and she keeps apart
¥or him the castle of her heart
At twenty-five her fancy goes
To bonnets, frilis. and furbelows,
A country place. a house in town,
A better rig than Mrs. Brown
Or Black or Jones. and just a wee
Small figure in Society. ’
At thirty—well. a little tea
¥For the distinguished Mrs. B..
Who writes— a Prince to entertain,
A long-haired Lion to make vain
With silly tricks, a horse show box
And just a little plunge in stocks.
At thirty-five and forty well
There isn’t much that’s new to tell;
A little bigger country place.
A real good lotion for the face,
And some reduction made in those
One can afford to say she knows.
At fifty—does her fancy end?
She wants ah. ves, she wants a friend
To prove her years were not in vain:
She wants those dreams of vouth again,
When Princes-errant, tall and fair,
Lived, loved and came a-wooing there.
At seventy she wanis to know
Why Vanity and hollow show
Tempt Wisodm from its-lofty seat.
She wants but ease for gouty feet,
And peace to wonder what must be
The last leaf’s musings on the tree.

eaten; that our outfit, our horses and
mule, the finest he had ever seen;
that ‘we ourselves were gods, wise and
very great; that he loved the ground
we trod on, and only asked to stay
with us forever. So he staved.
Jinny, the mule, returned his compli-

putting back her ears. But then, Jin-

the first day we knew him he had the

he so appreciated it—it was the very
nicest crust, the daintiest morsel, one
could have; just as everything we did
was simply perfect in his eyes. And
he wasn't servile about it, either. He
simply approved of everything we did,
and told us so in an eloquent, dumb

We made camp for a two weeks’
stay; felled a tree for backlog, and
fixed things generally ‘to be comfort:

And when it was done, and the friend-

ASTOR'S FEUDAL DOMAIN.
Castle Once of LII-
Fated Anne Boleyn, Restored to
its Early Glories.
In the garden of England, by which
designation: the county of Kent is
known, Mr. William Waldorf Astor has
purchased one of those picturesque and
beautiful mediaeval castles that abound
with historical interest and around
which so many old traditions have
been woven.
Castle Hever. one of taese old houses
has been practically transformed by
Mr. Astor, and the London Daily Ex-
press gives a graphic description of
Hever. Home
The general schemes
of this new Astor estate, for Mr. As-
tor has another estaté at Cliveden,
comprises the following:
Restoration of the castle to its an-
cient battiemented glories.
Building in ancient style a series of
castle villages.
A model farm.
An Italian garden.
A lake of forty-five acres.
An artesian well and capacious reser-
voir. Widening aud changing of the
course of the River Eden. New public
road three-quarters of a mile long. A
| strong bridge over the river, with wide
spans, broad roadway and steel frame.
A larg® power house for electric
light, etc.
An extensive deer park.
The castle itself is of great historic
interest, owing to the fact that it was
at one time the home of the ill-fated
Anne Boleyn, one of the wives of
Henry VIII, and tradition says that
the unquiet spirit of the dead Queen
Consort crosses the bridge over the
river during Christmas week. With the
destruction of the old bridge over the
river the ghost of the l.ady Anne has
Leen effectually laid. At least this is
the story of the credulous villagers.

explaining that, “Of course, the mule
being yours, don't you know? she
simply must be the very finest, sweet-
tempered animal in the world, don't
you know? and altogether above re-
proach, don’t you know?’ That won
us completely.
+ And he never once reproached her
is that the watchers at Hever this year
saw no spectre to reward them for
their lonely vigil. }
Sonie notion of the extent of this gi-
gantic task may be gathered from the
fact that nearly 200,000 tons of mater-
ial have passed over the roads leading
to and from the estate, while the num-
ber of workmen employed has varied
between 1560 and 2000, and to house ail
this army of laborers temporary huts
were erected in the grounds.
All the newer stonework has been
removed from the castle, and a quarry
has been reopened in the castle
grounds. The old oak panelling has
been cleaned, the second and outer
catis to be reopened, while a draw-
bridge in quite the olden style will
give admittance to the principal en-
trance.
One room cal
1 after Henry VIII,
ciared to have slept, will be set apart
for Mr. Astor, and the historic long
gallery will be the resting place of the
masterpieces of many famous artists.
Anne Boleyn's room is to be untenant-
ed.
All the old barns, outhouses and oth-
er structures have been demolished,
and in their stead there are now a
: series of old-fashioned and semi-Tudor
| cottages.

will deny that imputation against his
valor to our dying day. Let a strange
mule or horse get in among ours, and
Flapjack was a very lion of ferocity
until he had yapped him out of sight.
“Think we'd better look for their
camp?’ I asked, putting the dishes
into Jinny's pack. i
“What, the purp’'s Injuns? Not
much!” answered Brandt. “If they
haven't seen us. let ‘em alone. An’
if they have— why,

So we hiked, and Flapjack hiked

The grounds also will be embellished
in the old-fashioned style, and the anti-
quaries of Kent are not altogether dis-
satisfied that this historic old castle
has passed into the hands of an Amer-
ire. They regret, of
course, that it is likely to be closed
to them at least for many years to
come, bul Bs are assured that Mr.
Astor will regard its battle seared wails
and its far traditions with vener-
ation.

N every city in the country, whatever party may be in power,
we witness attacks on the “gang.” Sometimes the gang is
overwhelmed: ignominiously beaten and thrown out of the
city halls amid general execration. Then the lean years
come, but it goes back to the district to prepare for other
elections. The reformer appeals to reason, but corruption
does not argue. Down in the district the leader is campaign-

where, in his stuffy little office, he sits like a priest at confessional hearing
stories of woe and pleas for assistance.
He does favors. Those who receive
them are likely to return them at the polls, an easy settlement of debts. They
know him.
He has helped them.
It is unfortunate that the reward of municipal victory should not be the
honor of a public trust and the opportunity to work out high political ideals,
but rather the power to fatten at the public trough. And it is unfortunate, too,

We hear
little in the campaign of the respectable gentlemen whose names adorn the di-

the words of the famous boss, are “working for their pockets all the time.”—

Milk Preservatives

A <
HATEVER difference of opinion there may be as to the use
of small quantities of preservatives in other foods, physi-

of different species have been shown to be very susceptible
to their effect. Not only is the preservative itself probably
harmful, but by its use the poorest quality of milk can be

Deep-Sea Water is Free of Microbes.
The result of the prince of Monaco’s
deep-sea soundings continue to inter-
est the Academy of Science at Paris.
At the last meeting reports were read
of the prince's latest investigations
of the floor of the Mediterranean.
One of the facts was that at the bot-
tom of the Mediterranean the temper-
ature of the water was at 15 degrees
above zero (centigrade), whereas in
the Atlantic the temperature at a
depth of 3,000 or 4.006 meters is
scarcely 2 degrees above zero. An-
other interesting discovery was that
though the water of the sea near the
mouth of rivers was unusually full of
mierobes, and though harmful germs
were even found upon the surface in
midocean, at a depth. of 1.000 meters
sea water is absolutely sterile.
Fighting Shows the Race.
“By the way they fight I can tell
men’s nationality,” said a policeman.
“An Englishman, when he is going to
fight, throws his hat and coat in a
blustering, bluffing way on the ground.
A Scot pulls his hat down tight on his
head and buttons his coat carefully.
The canny Scot is not going to en-
danger any of his property. In irish-
man appeals to the crowd to hold his
coat. - The" Celtic nature desires
sympathy and tries to build it up. A
German, methodical, precise, folds his
coat in a neat bundle and lays his hat
on top of it to hold it down. An
American is so anxious to pitch in
and have the thing over that he. starts
fighting without giving a thought to
hat or coat.”—New Yark Press.

was difficult for me to appiy myself to
school work with any degree of satis-
faction. I tried different medicines and
food preparations but did not seem
able to correct the difficulty.
“Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I
had to do something, so I just buckled
down to a rigid observance of the direc-
tions on the package. and in less than
no time began to feel better. In a few
weeks my strength was restored, my
weight had increased, I had a clearer
head and felt better in every particu-
lar. My work was simply- sport to
what it was formerly.
“My sister's health was badly run
down and she had become s0 nervous
that she could not attend to her music.
She went on Grape-Nuts and had the
same remarkable experience that I
had. Then my brother, Frank. who is
in the Postoffice Department at Wash-
ington city and had been trying to do
brain work on greasy foods, cakes and
all that, joined the Grape-Nuts army.
I showed him what it was and could
do and from a broken-down condition
he has developed into a lLearty and
efficient man.
“Besides these I could give account
of numbers of my feliow-students who
have made visible improvement men-
tally and physically by the use of this
food.” Name given by Postum Co,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.
