SUNDAY’S CAIL.
• He never read the roses
Nor learnt the lilliee’lore,
The pansies blue, all diamond dew.
He passing, trampled o’er.
The mignonette, the violet
In vain with incense pray’d-
He never thought that flow’rs meant aught
Until he loved a maid.
He heard a mavis calling,
He heard—and then forgot! ' - -
A lark leapt high and thrilled the sky.
He heard—and wondered not!
All fain to please among the tress,
Birds peeped and piped and played—
He’dne’er repeat: “Dear God, how sweet!”
Until he loved a maid.
He never dreamed of Beaty.
He never blessed the World:
ft- The heath ered hills, the rippling rills,
The sea’s foam-flag uniurled,
The summer’s prime, the winter’s rime,
- The sunshine and the shade--
He did not care that Earth was fair
Until he loved a maid.
She came! and, with her advent
The very stars drew near,
And every bird his spirit stirred,
AncVevery flow’r grew dear. .
And all the Earth went mad with mirth
To hear his homage paid—
“Oh sure,” he said, “I was as dead
Until I loved a matdr’—J. J. Bxuu

The patriotism that finds vent in
adjusting the national colors to an
autumn wardrobe may not be of the
highest order. Yet it exists and
henee has to be considered. And it is
quite possible that there io a deal of
genuine patriotism as well as love of
\ novelty in the heart of the girl who
wears the read, while and blue shirt
waist. Bed, white and blue is un
doubtedly the color-combination of
the season. There are red, white and
blue ginghams, flannels, silks and
ribbons; there are even red, white and
blue stockings and hats. Children
will wear the bats and it is to be
hoped that no one will wear the stock
ings Good taste has at last set a
limit to this patriotic fashion caprice,
and petticoats trailing the colors of
Old Glory in the dust are among the
things barred out. But waists and
parasols, neckties and sashes, bat
bands, handkerchiefs and belts, will
be manufactured, sold and worn until
the war with Spain is no more. Tailor
suits and capes in military cut and
colors will be worn, and in fact are
being worn by the most conservative,
nt her sex. It is equally appropriate
in military gray lined with infantry
red, or in deep blue lined with cavalry
yellow, finished in either case with
black braid and brass buttons. As for
the boys, their patriotic souls will
revel in things identical with the one
worn by the United States “Jackies,”
•nd the girls of patriotic instincts will
wear blouses and sailor hats, and ted,
white and blue ribbons to ber heart’s
content.

Once more the boutonniere—the
L ««n»ll bouquet for the coat buttonhole
—has come, and it is the edict of
| men’s costumes now that a man
&
should always have this touch of flow
ers on his coat To invariably wear a
boutonniere is, of course, extreme
form, but it will be now for some
months the very best style to be
, thus adorned in the early morning or
the late afternoon. There is a new
thing about these boutouniers—they
must match , our necktie or, rather,
harmonise with it. Thus a red flower
must be worn with a red tie, or a blue
with a blue, and so on. This seems a
small and unimportant point, but it is
worth remembering.

The Social Circle was entertained
by Mrs M. J. Daniel ether home on
Poplar street, on Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Daniel is a charming woman and
a perfect hostess and the afternoon
was a very delightful one for all. Bus
iness matters of importance were dis
cussed, after wb’Bh elegant refresh
ments were served.
Mrs. Grundy has laid so many re
strictions upon the presents a man 1
may make to a girl who is “just a very
good friend,” that it is a relief to dis
cover a novel gift of this sort indorsed 1
by fashioti, and pretty in itself. It is
a silver cyclometer, and if the girl
friend is anything of a wheel-woman 1
(bow many are not, as a matter of 1
fact) she is certain of being pleased.
Even if mademoiselle rides but indif
ferently the sharm of the present will
not be diminished in her eyes. This
will be one of the most fashionable
gifts this season, and there is a bit of 1
sentiment in connection wtth it, for
as the man bands it over, he makes
the condition that the girl must ride a '
certain number of miles and report to 1
him when the cyclometer registars
that distance. Thus be constitutes 1
himself her wheeling guardi»n.

eon last Friday. The Nall home,
which is very handsome, was lovely
with its profuse decorations of flowers,
ferns and palms, and a graceful drap
ing of red, white and blue bunting on ;

a pretty gown of white organdie with
a wide sash of pink satin ribbon. Miss
Rebecca Nall wore a dainty costume
of pink mousselaine de soie, which
was exceedingly becoming to her bru

was served in the handsomely appoin

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there Is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been ab'e to
cure ig all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known "to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of tbe system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the cons
titution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Io Heaves’s name, what present use

Every day sees more of our brave

TSE EXCELLENCE OF SYREP OF FI6S
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of tbe combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybvp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding tbe worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
