A PICTURE IN FROST TIME.
aCvS?
A window, with wide pane* embayed
And half moon seat of old gold cloth.
Looks forth to where the trees are swayed
By winds whose bruath U chill and wroth.
And on the gia«s a (limy veil
Kxtonrin, a* if to shield tho hi«n»m
That nods in greeting to the gale
From midst the warm and eheery room.
Rows and lilies, hot limns* pink*
And pansies that no garden dew
E’er wet. and ferns whose fruglle link*.
No wooiilaud |»ool with shnde.did »Urw
And showinjt rnuIf 1-colored tir.**.
Full clusters of ehrysanthemums
Flash Uu.-k the neteate flame tlmt glints
Where cosily the hearth log harm.
While nefir at hand sits one who reads
The pnges of a book of art.
And naught outdoors oi* indoor.; heeds.
Lost in some spirit rpnltn’s fair marl.

don’t know my biz—what am
hero for?” If the women only
keep healthy they keep in good
epints and enpid is in demand. Let
every enfeebled woman know this
—there’s a remedy that’ll cure her,
tho proofs positive.
Here’s tho proof—if it doesn’t do
yon good within reasonable time,
report tho fact to its makers and
get yoor money hack without a
word—but von won’t do it!
Tho remedy is Dr. Pierco’s Favor

itself tho right remedy in nearly
every case of fcmalo weakness. It is
not a miracle. It won’t cure every
thing—but it has dono more to hnild

domestic version of the old toiyitig. “Or

the whirligig of time has so twisted af

great lexicographer sneered little more
than a hundred years ago is now an ar
ticlo of daily diet in thousands of En
glisli homes. The plainest of plain liv
ing it is to ns nowadays, but the high
thinking of the Seventeenth and Eigh
teenth centuries was cultivated on a very
different aliment. Yet who U prepared
to say that greater intellects have ever
been known in the English nation than
were produced in the days of roistering
wine bibbing and high living, when
such minds were develop'd as those of
Shakespeare, Ben .louson, Drydon. Addi

Subatimrv ami Form In Lllrrar^i
And is it not true that from tho nature
of things tho contemporary judgment
lays most stress on substance, and that
the “final” judgment is favorable to
form? Substantially speaking, bow many
historic things of iimneuse contemporary
vogue seeui insipid to us, whereas scarce
ly anything of very great formal merit
has been allowed to perish?
In other words, is there not an element
of universality about perfection of form
which significance of thought does not
possess? or, at any rate, is not perfection
more nearly attainable in form than it h
in substance? And nothing is so pro
servative as perfection or any approach
to it.
One thing is very certain—neglect ol
form involves the sacrifice of an element
of positive attractiveness ns well as of
fending positively by perverseness and ec
centricity. Whether rhyme and rhythm
cadence, purity, fiawlnwness, melody
are essential or not to poetry, the abnn
douincnt of the artistic quality which
they imply is obvionsly a loss.—Scrib
ner’*.
All Indian CliMlIenga.
Two tribe, of Indians in the upper
part of California hod os boundary be
tween their districts a low ridge where
the streams headed. If you should go to
where one of these streams. Potter river,
rises yon would see still standing a tall
pile of stones beside a never failing
spring. On one side of this cairn waa the
territory of the Pomo Indians, and on the
other the land of the Clmmaia. These
tribes were enemies, nud were often at
war. When the Chutnnin wished to
challenge the others hi battle thoy took
three little sticks, cut notches ronod
their ends nnd in the middle, tied them
at the ends into a faggot and laid it on
this cairn. If the Pbmos accepted th..
challenge they tied a string arnnnd the
middle of the three sticks and left them
in their place. Then agents of both
tribes met on neutral ground and nr
ranged the time and place of battle,
wliirb took place ats’ordingly.— St. Nicb
olas.
Origin or an Old Sarins.
lu the Sixteenth century it wns gener
ally stated that "spiders be tree signs of
great stores of gold." a saying wbicb
arose thus: While a passage to Cathay
was being sought by the northwest a
mariner brought home a stone which
was announced to be gold, and canned
such a ferment that several vessels were
fitted ont for tho express purpose of col
lecting the prccions metal. Frobisher,
in 1077, found on one of the islands
where he landed similiar stones and an
enormous number of spiders. —Oornhlll
Magazine.
A Brazilian parrot once, en.vceded tn
making a railway party believe that they
' ad ran over a child. Sudden cries, fol
lowed by a low moaning, rang ont from
beneath the wheels. The train was
stopped, and tho employes nervously
seurehed the track, hut no child was to
be seen. No clew to the situation could
be found until a large green parrot
swinging in his cage, uttered a mocking
laugh.
There has been some dispute as to the
descent of the dog—whether it is an im
proved progeny of the wolf or a distinct
ariety. That it la not a different species
is proved by the fact that the dog and
the wolf will mate and produce offspring
Nevertheless it is probablq that tbs dog
is merely descender] from the same orig
inal stock with the wolf
