HOW GEN/6 CAME INTO THE WORLD.
The Mooasprite looked down from her sent In
the moon
On the dark world, bo distant and low.
And fancied ita women would hall aa a boon
Any keepsake that lore can bestow.
She gathered the glittering stars from on high.
And she warmed every star with a hoe
From the bow which Jehovah has set in tbs
sky
As a sign of his covenant true. •
As good os new
—that’s the condition of liver, stom
ach and bowels, when Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets have done their
work. It’s a work that isn’t fin
ished when you’ve stopped taking
them, either. It’s lasting. They
cure, as well as relieve. And it’s
all done so mildly and gently!
There’s none of the violence that
went with the old-time pill. One
tiny, sugar-coated Pellet’s a gentle
laxative — threo to four act as a
cathartic. Sick Headache, Bilious
Headache, Constipation, Indiges
tion, Bilious Attacks, and all de
rangements of the stomach and
bowels, are prevented, relieved and
cured. As a Liver Pill, they’re un-
cqualcd. They’re purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless — the smallest,
cheapest, and easiest to take.
They’re the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they’re guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
Can you ask more ?
That’s the peculiar plan all Dr.
Pierce’s medicines aro sold on.
She transformed by her magic each afar to a
gem.
And, unloosing the folds of her robe.
That love may be proven by searching for
them.
She scattered them over the globe.
And some as they fell mink deep in the soil.
And others fell Into the sea.
There’s treasure enough to reward for their

Women as Process Servers.
“Women are in great demand nowa
days for serving legal papers,” remarked
a lawyer the other day. “Almost all the
law firms employ a man solely to 6erve
papers, but often the server runs up
against some individual whom it is im
possible for him to get at. Women are
especially hard to serve. 1 had a case
the other day in which I spent a great
deal of money and was very mnch an
noyed by the delay caused by my man'
failure to serve a female defendant in
case where personal service waa neces
sary.
“One of my clerks said that he thought
that he could have the paper served.
Sure enough, he caine back the next day
with an affidavit of service, and told me
that a yonng woman friend served the
paper. Since then, whenever t have a
difficult case of that kind I call the young
woman to my assistance. The moat sus
picious debtor will not, for a moment,
suspect a woman with having clandes
tine designs against him, and a well
dressed female can easily gain admit
tance where it wonld be impossible for a
man to enter.”—New York Telegram.
A Question of Etiquette.
It hag repeatedly been asked ns to why
the empress, after the news of Sedan
was made public, did not present herself
to the guards and the people of Paris, and
call upon them to rally aronnd her and her
son, and to maintain for the latter the
imperial throne. The cause of this sin
gular abstention haa been made public.
It was because no suitable riding habit
conld be fonnd for her in which to show
herself on horseback to the troops and
the populace.
There was only one to be found at the
Tnileries in the hurry and confusion of
that terrible crisis. It was one made for
the hunting parties at Compeigne, and
was in the Lonis XV style, composed of
green velvet embroidered with gold, and
necessitating a cocked bat for comple
tion of the costume. It was too theat
rical. It would not do, and so the gal
lant appeal to the public was given up,
and with it the last hope for the preser
vation of the empire.—Paris Cor. Phila
delphia Telegraph.

81m Takes Her Husband's Place#
Rev. Ada C. Bowles for the past six
months has been acting pastor of the
Universalist churches in Abington and
South Weymouth, Moss., in place of her
husband, who has been seriously UL On
Easter Sunday Mrs. Bowles drove four
miles to Sonth Weymouth, preached an
Easter sermon and administered the
communion; then retained to Abington,
preached again in the afternoon and
again conducted the communion service,
and in the evening assisted at an Easter
concert of the Sunday school. Both
churches were beautifully decorated
with plants and flowers. The sermons
were preached without notes, and re
ceived high commendation.—Woman’s
Journal.
The Ut.lt Veil.
The latest veil is a spider mesh pat
tern, with a tiny spider himself in vel
vet arranged as the beauty spot. Just
remember, there is always a right and
a wrong way to assume a veil. The
right way is to have it well over the
chin, drawn up slightly at the (idea and
fastened high np at the back. A badly
arranged veil will often spoil the entire
charm of a dainty bonnet, and while the
wearer is wondering that her dearest
friend does not admire it and say so, die
little .realizes that ite beauty has beat
spoiled by the arrangement of the bit of
filmy stuff at once a protection and a
coquetry.—New York Letter.
A Yellow Sommer.
We all know that last summer was a
white summer. The girls affected white
costumes even to shoes and glqvee, and
to oar expense wo know that white flan
nel suits and shirts were the correct
things for men.
A lady who says she knows all about
it, and who certainly should, assures me
that this is to be a yellow summer in the
same way.
For a convincing proof she points to
any of the shop windows.—New York
Herald.
Sweep, Oh! Sweep.
Henry Carter, a Colorado millionaire,
was walking about in' Philadelphia and
saw a servant girl sweeping off the front
steps of a house. “Jnst the gal I want
for a wife!” whispered Henry; and in
three weeks he had her on his arm and
was westward hoipg. Thirty-two thou
sand five hundred and eighty-six Phila
delphia servant girls now hustle to
sweep.—Detroit Free Press.
