2 REMEMBRANCE. Jjjsrt-swept moor, and fnlr pile skies, ; Bneep on the hills' soft breast, thatch-roofed house bevond the tree. J Home that my heart loved best. , boy who pulled the yellow fnrie, Wanton with xheer dPllght, . Boamlng the heath till dwv ere, From Inrk's awakening flight. 'TIs half a century ago ! Would gold stifh peare eould Imy. Tie little lad upon ihe moor, The lark that sung on high. , Pall Mall Gaiett. The PiilcliritiHloniuni. I suppose you do not know what it pulchritudonium Is. Nor did I until julte recently; but I am better in formed now, and, indeed, am quite nn authority on the instrument or imple ment? It was Delia's inquisitive mind that effected my instruction. Delia reads the newspapers, after a fashion I should sny, after the fashions. And the part of the paper on which her at tention and interest are concentrated contains suitable advertisements to catch the unwary eye. Here it was that she came upon this pulchritudon lum. The pulchritudonium, beautifies you; It renders you (according to ad vertisement) proof against increasing years. It keeps the figure fine and the complexion fresh; and it only needs using for ten minutes every day. Al so It only costs but that is of no con sequence, save that It started the pul chritudonium between Delia and my self. "I suppose you couldn't let me have a small sum on my week's check?" in quired Delia affably. I said I thought it might be man aged, and thinking a certain interest edness might be expected of-me, asked Why. ( "Oh, I don't know," said Delia cas ually. "I thought perhaps I might Ibuy Edward, how do you pronounce (pulchritudonium?" She spelled it out from her paper with pains, but I had jforgotten what the first part was be fore we reached the end. However, at last we got at it. "It seemsa wonderful thing," she remarked, i-h a disinterested tone of voice. ji'KWat', may I ask, is this wonderful thing?" I inquired, seeing that I was expected to do so. At that, Delia, having achieved her Introduction, began to talk glibly and with enthusiasm. , "You see,- , dear, it's on scientific principles, just discovered, and it de velops you all over just properly, and no more. It gets rid of all super fluous fat, you know and makes you a perfect figure, besides sending the blood through the body and maintain ing a perfect complexion by means of circulation. Oh, here it is. This Is what it says." She had been hastily turning over the pnper in search of the advertisement, and she now be gan to read impressively. " 'Beauty and symmetry are dependent upon the " proper adjustment of the internal and external forces in an organism. If this adjustment be obtained, beauty naturally follows. In the case of the human being, nature has so arranged It that a nice balance between the muscles, nerves and ligaments' " De lia stumbled over that " 'of the body secures the desired effect This is obtained by suitable exercise, and this Is the purpose for which the pulchri tudonium was designed. No woman need despair of acquiring grace and lissomeness if she will systemmatlc ally use the pulchritudonium.' " Delia ceased, and looked at me eag erly. Perhaps it was not a ease for frankness, but I distrusted that show of false science. ' "I do not think it would be any use at all," I said. Delia put down the paper suddenly, and rose. "I see," she said coldly. ' "You don't mind my growing fat. You would like me to grow stout and lost "my figure." I explained that I was only question ing the adequacy of the pulchritudon ium to permit such a thing; at which ahe relaxed. "But ever so many people have used It, and testify to its advantages," she protested. "There's a whole list of names here." i "Tliftri fllwnvD will 1m rue. fn. quacks," I said, adding "I mean ducks, Vtcourse." haven't the faintest idea what you ean," said Delia loftily, "and I c that tbat cynical way you've got is simply beastly. I suppose you it's becoming, but it isn't. It's vulgar;" "All right," said I, cheerfully. "If you think the pulch?what's-lt'B-name will make you more becoming, by all xrieans have It." f Now i had conceded the point, and Delia had got what she wanted; and she ought to have been satisfied. But ahe was not. She did not even thank me. "You used to admire me once," she - said, after a pause. ' "I know I did, my dear," I said 4 lightly. "Why shouldn't I?" "Of course," she said rather warm ly, "if you think I'm not becoming, and t .'that I'm getting too stout, please say V 1 so at once, and let me know. I al ways like to know the truth, however unpleasant." "Great Scot!" I protested at this re markable instance of feminine perver sity. "You wanted the thing for that very reason, and I said you could have It" "I didn't like your tone," said Delia, face to face with her own inconsis tency, and somewhat primly she left the room, still without a word 4 thanks. However, she bought the pulehritU' donlum, and It began at once to figure In our lives. It was for use before breakfast, and it had to be nailed tc a wall. Delia had it nailed to her bedroom door, where she was using It, it resisted the efforts of any of her family to enter. It consisted of cords and pieces of wood to hold by, and when Delia was at work in her airy morning costume she looked like a dangerous Amazon. She stood upright with a set expression on her face, then suddenly plunged out at you with fe rocity, stopped, made a sally in an other direction, recovered herself, and then dived for her toes. It was an in teresting but alarming performance. The first time she went through it in strict privacy, but after one or two trials she got confidence, and invited me to witness it. It was unfortunate that the nails should have given on that particular occasion, because it was, as I have said. Interesting, and 1 should like to have seen more of it. But Delia was so strenuous and fierce that they did give, and she went into the cold tub which she had already used some time before. As I picked her out I comforted her with the thought that it was a good thing she had not been fully dressed, but she was very cross, and seemed to think it' was my fault. "You ought to have tested them," she told me, as she wrung out her gar ments; and when I asked if she were going to resume she called me horrid, and told me to go. Nothing daunted, Delia went on with her exercises next morning, (the nails having been replaced), but I was not admitted. From time to time all that week I heard the door of her room going, as It creaked and rattled and groaned behind her exertions. Once in passing on the landing I gathered that our rather deaf cook, mistaking the groaning, no doubt for a permissable answer to her knock, had opened the door and caused a mishap. I heard Delia's voice crossly. "The door my leg," and on that cook's "Yes'm, the leg has just come." On another occasion the shrill screams of our pug summoned me in hot haste and some anxiety to the up per regions, when 1 found he had been indistreetly curious enough to venture too close to his mistress in the abandon of her exercitations. The result was a severe blow on what ought to have been his nose. But the work was kept Up with ruthless conscientiousness, and at the end of a fortnight I was once more called in, not this time to watch, but to report on results. It was at once obvious to me that reports were ex pected to be favorable. "Do you know, Edward, that my waist is distinctly smaller?" I was told triumphantly. "My dress is quite loose." 1 did not see the object of having a loose dress, but I didn't dare to say so. "Feel my muscles," she urged. I felt her beautifully rounded arm, but frankly I did not feel for muscles. "iJon't you think they've improved?" she asked, observing them critically. "Much," said I, in a cowardly man ner. She cast a glance of suspicion at me, but my face was very serious. "Much!" she repeated coldly, "I sup pose you thought me skinny before." "Oh, dear no," said I hastily. "I thought you were perfection." She looked mollified. "Then I could not have improved much," she re marked. "Well, a little is a lot in the case of beauty," I explained. She was still contemplating herself in the glass. "I can distinctly see signs of Improvement," she said. "You see, as they say in the advertisement, it fills you out where you ought to be filled, and It takes you down where you oughtn't to be filled out." "Yes, it's ,a wonderful thing," I agreed. "Where do you think it's affected me most?" she inquired. "Well, from the necessarily limited nature of my inspection, I am hardly in a position to judge," I said hesitat ingly. "But I should hazard a guess that your complexion had improved most." VI always had a good complexion, as you ought to know," she remarked de cidedly. "I know," I explained with acidity. "But it's the exercise that gives you colorj perhaps." Delia was silent, thoughtfully. "Do you mean I'm getting blowzy?" she asked anxiously. "I should just hate to be like a bouncing milkmaid." "There is no danger of that," I as sured her; but I left her peering into the glass. The next morning Delia sought me in my study with a determined expres sion on her face. "Edward," said she, "I want your honest opinion. "Is the pulchritudonium making my nose red?" I was tired of the pulchritudonium; but I was very gentle. "Well er no," I said hesitatingly. Delia's chin stiffened. "Please don't stammer like that," she said sharply. "I want a plain answer." "No," I said firmly. She looked at me. "I think I'll give it up,' she said next, rather abruptly. "Do," said I, eagerly. "Frankly, I don't think it has improved you, be cause It couldn't improve you." A charming smile started on Delia's face. "I'm so glad," she said eagerly. "I'll give it up. I never did believe in it. Besides, I never needed it, did it?" H. B. Mariott Watson in the Sketch.

A world's famine In iron within the next century is the prediction of United States Consul General Mason of Paris, in a report In which he dis cusses the subject exhaustively. Mr. Mason says it Is well known that the high-class ores of the lake district of America will, at the present rate of consumption, become exhausted with in less than fifty years. The Mesaba deposits, with the present annual out put of 12,000,000 tons, or thereabouts, will not outlast twenty-five years. It requires only a simple calculation to demonstrate that a continued yearly consumption ot 35,000,000 tons of ore by the iron and steel industries of the United States, will, within the lifetime of persons now living, eat away entirely the 1,100,000,000 tons which, according to the report of Swedish experts, constitute this coun try's entire workable supply as at present known. Mr. Mason holds that there is hut one remedy, and that is for American iron masters to secure by all practical means the largest possible supply of ore from other countries.
