Would we return— If the gates which close upon the past Were open wide for us, and if the dear Remembered pathway stretched before us To lead us back to youth’s lost land at last, Whereon life’s April shadows lightly cast Recalled the old sweet days of childish fear With all their faded hopes and brought ane&r The fir-off streams on wlich oar skies were glassed; Did these soft dreams which wake the soul’s sad yearning Bnt live once more and waited our return mould we return? Would we return If love’s enchantment held the heart no more, And we come to count the wild, sweet The fond distress, ihe lavish tears—bnt vain; M Had cooled the heart’s hot wounds amidst the roar Os mountain gales, or, on some alien shore Worn out the soul’s long anguish and had slain At last the dragon of despair-if then the train Os vanished years move back, and as of yore, The same voice called, and with soft eyes beguiling, Our lost love beckoned, through time’s gray veil smiling, Wduld we return? Would we return Once we hadcrossed to death’s unlove ly land And trod the bloomless ways among the dead Lone and unhappy; after years had fled With the twilight wings along the glim mering strand, . If then—an angel came with outstretch ed hand To lead us back, and we recalled in dread How soon the tears that once for us are shed May flow tor others—how like words In sand Our memory fades away—how oft our waking Might vex the living with the dead heart’s Woulci’ we return, Would we return? , Whether the weather suggests the necessity of furs or not, this season fashion decrees that they are to be worn more than ever and no toilet in the morning or afternoon will be com plete without •’furs.” Matron and maid will have close up about their soft cheeks the high storm collar of a sealskin coat, a black lamb’s wool jacket, a large cape, a short cape, or the ever dressy collarette. Mufla will accompany the wraps and dainty white gloved hands, even at the late afternoon receptions will be drawn warm and comfortable from the snug confinement of the satin-lined muffs. Furs are universally becoming, and for this fact, as well as the innate love of woman for elegance, their fashion this season will be one pleasurable to the feminine pursuasion. With bis “nose for fashion’’and his malicious delight in gratifying the whims of womanhood and tempting their pur chase of costly things, the merchant is chuckling over the pleasure he is .giv ing hie lady customers. In short capes, on* that deserves all the admiration that it gets, is of Canadian beaver, round cut, and finished at the fasten ing of the high storm collar with a cluster of atone marten tails. A very dressy cape is made of electric seal, with its border and collar of chinchilla and its lining of pale green silk. Chin chilla capes cr collarettes, with muffs to match, have a violet silk lining, and no matter what is said of the other manufacturers of feminine raiment this season, the furrier has done bis best in fashioning pretty things to keep “madams” snug and warm, and be comingly attired. • • • The Hawthorne Club held the regu lar weekly meeting at the homo of Mrs. Waiter Ellie Tntsday afternoon.

Paris, Dec. 3—There was no joint session of the peace commission today. The Americans had a three hours’ meeting today. The report that Germany is negotat ing for the purchase of the Caroline islands is confirmed from several quar ters, although Count Von Munster- Ledenburg, tbe German ambassador here, informed a correspondent of the Associated Press that he knew nothing at all about the matter. The American commissioners are inclined to believe the report, and it is looked upon as explaining the reluctance of the Spaniards to give the Americans an answer in regard to tbe Caroline islands, as well as on the question of religious liberty there, aud tbe latest developments confirm tbe report that the Spaniards have been instructed not to yield on these pointe until they have made a good bargain. 1 Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury; as mercury will surely destroy the sense smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mu cous surfaces.

Rice, a prominent druggist of Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows: “I have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative for eight years, and have never known of a single instance where it failed to give perfect satisfaction. Parties who once use it always make permanent customers, We sell more of this article than all the other Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic drops combined.” For teething children has no equal.

WtlHam’s Tall Grtaallir. “There was nothing unusual in the German emperor selecting Chiemke, the tallest grenadier In his army, to aocom i pany him on his spectacular visit to the , east,” said an ex-Knglish officer, “because he expected to visit people who might ’ easily be impressed by size. When Eng , land has had occasion to send commis sioners to any of the savage, tribes with which she has had dealings she has usual ly selected tall men as escorts. Chiemke is 6 feet 10 inches, and I have no doubt that his height duly impressed the Turks “When the German emperor returned in 1880 from his first visit to Constantinople, he sent the sultan a complete set of kettle drums, which he intrusted to Lieutenant Pleckow, Who is nearly 7 feet in height There was an amusing story told of Ples kow several years ago. He was making a short walking trip and he lost his way. He looked over a 7 foot garden wall and asked a girl picking gooseberries to direct him which road to take. The maid, see ing only his head and assuming from its height that its owner must be on horse back, told him to ride first to the right and then to the left That story clung to Pleskow.”—New York Sun.
