Tow ran never tell, when you Bend a word, Line an arrow shot from a how By an archer blind, be Itcrnel or kind , Jnw where it will change to no. It nsay pierce the breast of your dear est friend, T?fped with its poinon or balm; To a stranger's heart, in life's great mart, It may carry its pain or it calm. Yon ran never tell, when you do an act, Jft what the rexiilt will be; But with every ded you are Bowing a feed, T hoti ah it harvest yon may not see. Eae-h kindly act U an acnni dropped In Sod'rt productive soil; Thonjrh you may not know, yet the trse shallicrow And shelter the brows that toil. Vow ran never tell what your thoughts will do In bringing you hate or love; Tor thoughts are thing?, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier-dovi a. They follow the law of tlje universe, Kairh thing must create its kind ; And Ihev speed o'er the track to bring von back Whatever went out from your mind. FTili.a WiiEBi.Kn Wilcox, in "Mun- The Emotion art Sculptor. Every emotion tends to $ulpture the body Into beuty or into ugliness. Worrying. freUing, unbridled pis ik, petulancp, discontent, everv dishonest act, every falsehood, every Jelling of envy, jealousy, fear, each baa its effect on the system, and itets deleteriously like a poison or a Reformer of the body. Professor Jamts of Harvard, an expert In the mental sciences, says: "Every real) stroke of virture or vice leaves its erer so little scar. Nothing we tver do is, in strict literalnesa, wl,,ed i." We look with pity and dis trict upon the man who vitiates his vitality, pollutes and ruins his body hy )collol, while we nursl vs may be ehHtiging our own bodies into hideous forms by what seem to he "innocent sins." A fit of anger may work a greHter damage to the body and character than a drunken hout. Hatred may leave worse sears upon a elejin life than the bottle. Jeal iyr envy, anger. uncon'nlled grif may do more to wieck the physical life than years of smoking. Anxiety, fretting, aiH scolding, may instill a more subtle poi-mn into the system than the cigarette. Success. l.i:CK AMI LIBOR.

' New Aulnnin Jrtc keU. Each manufacturer of top gar ments seems to have vied with the other In getting up some novelty, so varied are the waps that are now completely finished and ready to dawn upon the vision of anxious and ititfcreted woman. Among the tailor suits which are always of first interest In the fall there is the short jacket with plast ron front. This style is by no means unfamiliar, it having been quite modish from time to time f r some years. Being military in effect it Is more apt this year than ever to at tract attention. There is a pretty little military blue suit of plain faced, light-weight cloth, lined with ut that bright shade of red that one finds in army cloaks. The plastron Is fastened on with small brass army buttons, and heavy black braid adds a nice finish to- the entire frock. Nearly all jacke's, unless they forum parts of suits, have high, flar ing collars at the back, though in front they may be so built that they flt close to the neck. Like the liis one extremely turn"d back and the other extreme ly turned down tht-re are extremes tn jackets, theone that barely com" down over the hip and the other that Is very long skirted. The long j.ckt I really in tyle now in Paris and England, and it appears among the latest models f foreign designers, but it seems well-nigh certain that the short jick t, so jaunty, and so well suited to the average American nmire, win nevertheless retain here it old-time popularity, though the new style may be adopted by some of the ultra fashionable. All th" fall models, long and short, show high H iringcdlars turn ALL WOMEN Fhnuld know tlint the "OIU l'ltii" ' Iteuiedy, tvnrt fni CUfa TMMhUi fVmrut all I .1.. -tt (n In yuimllAikKlHini fihMlM hji taken lor (.ham Ltrtanu iwwro tam-uni. u ..r. a ri n...ilu Kaw& m ssA hk I I Mil II Illy HTM itrnwn uaw ovvyv vuv test for twenty years.

Almost all are tight fit ting to the waist line. They are generally elaborately embroidered or braided, and fringes also appear as trimming on the sleeves of wraps, pereline", and capes. Wraps and capes, it is already decided, will be much longer than last vear; the tendency seems to be toward a half tight-fitting garment. The latest thing In capes is a very stylish Parisian afliir extremely long at the back and so cut that it reaches the elbow on the sides, while the fronts form two long tabs that decrease gradually to a point at the end The collar stands very high around th neck, and is covered, as is the rest of the garment, with a heavy applique design. A chiffon plisse stands up around the collar and forms a jabot down the front. I have made reference before to the long ulsters. Ruch wraps will be in every smart woman's wardrobe and all ready as protection from the damp early snows with which all people in this climate are familiar. It is a notion of th season to fill in the fronts of cloth jackets that open with the prettiest and softest of frilled vests. Tiny rowsof ruffled bite lace are put on flue mulls, and form the fronts of some of the severest of tailor gowns. Vtirlou Fads of Autumn Di-raoing. Plush wraps, which are to be quite popular, range In length from the short cape to thirty or thirty-two Inches, and some are elaborately trimmed with embroidery and fur. (Japes in an txcellent qualitv of plush are shown this fall at prices much lower than those of former seasons. Among the novelties are some with pleats in the back; and one, which will be an especial fa vorite, Tails in graceful folds from the shoulders, giving somewhat the; appearance of a stylish loose sleeved The back is tight fitting, held in by a belt. The ruffle that is such a charac teristic feature of the new cloth capes is seen also In cloaks of fur; in these it isof light fur on adark cape. Though the adoption of trimming on coats and capes, other than braid, has been very gradual, the coming snason Insures styles in all kinds of wraps that call for a most elaborate display. This fashion can be traced to the use of so many ruches, fl tun ces and draperies on tlie summer gowns. At present fringe p mni s to he a most popular f ill ao i .vintr trim ming, especially 'or pelerines uiul viutorines, whien are among the leading wraps. A most effective fiinge is the long, twisted silk fringe, having an elaborately knot ted beading which affords a close likeness to rich passementerie. This generally comes In black, from six to ten inches deep, and is used to finish the edges of capes and trim stole ends. Tape or braid frh:ge will also be much in vogue. It is much more simple in style, having for the heading a crimped tape about one quarter of an inch wide, while in depth it measures three inches. Fringe is employed to produce bertha and ruffled effects, and for simulating the graceful, flowing sleeves. Golf capes made from mate rial by the yard, will be fringed more lioerally t.ian ever before, even surpassing the Bhawl cape; while wraps of various kinds made from similar materials are to be fringed as much as possible. Modes and Fabrics. To Grow Violet Sucormif ully. One all Important item in the cul ture of violets is ventilation. They must have fresh air and plenty of it at all times. Good ventilation is easily secured by placing blocks un der the ends of the sash. They will require careful watching during the bright sunny days, to prevent the temperature from rising too high The nearer It can be kept at from 65 to 60 degrees during the bloominir season the better. Cooler tempera ture before time for blooming will be necessary. During severe winter weather it will be necessary to cover the sash with manure, strawy litter or old carpet, to keep o t the cold These coverings snouUl u.t remain on during the daytime unless it seems necessary. As to watering, the grower will have to use ntm judgment. Violets must never beal lowed to dry out, and require con siderable water. Allow plenty of water, but avoid daily soaking whether needed or not. It is rather a diillcult matter to grow violets in ue House, the hot, dry heat of the ordinary living room being disas trous to tlie health of the plant. Woman's Home Companion. To Brmulfy Your Window. No one has any idea how artistic a window can be made until she has riU thtf lollowii g plan. Curtain he window with rather a coarse mesh of n. t the fish net is just the tbii g. Then invest in an aparagu fern and ailow ii to travel upward on this curtain, weaving itHf in and out and all over at Us own sweet will It w in cross over to the. over curtain, reach a tendril over to a picture word or wire, climb over the limit- tiiH-K, uiiwm II lie oilier Slue r hIoiiu the molding or both. In fact, there is mx hing so beanti rui as a white lace curtain of which such a featheiy mass l gren is the most important part, in course either the curtain must remain up unui it laiiit to pieces or the fern must be sacrificed. Use a curtain which need not be of such value as make it necessary to destroy the fern. 1 he festoons f this beautiful vine cannot be equalled by any other style of decoration, and being na torsi and growing rapidly adds greatly to its charm. N. Y. Herald. To Set Color. The most important point in the salt and water process of setting the color in your shirt waist is to have the brine strong enough and the wa ter hos enough. Use one quart of salt in an ordinary bucket of water and have the water scalding hot. Use a wooden or paper bucket, as the brine will rust tin and spot your article. Put your goods in cover and let them stand about three or four hours until the water Is perfectly cold. Put only one article in each bucktlul. After drying, the color will remain In fast as long as th-t piece holds together. Of course this must be done whet the goods are new, before they have been l iuuder ed at all. . Fruit Htnliio. At this Beaso'i of the year mipkin, table cloths and even children's clothes are verv apt to become stain ed with fruit. One of the simplest methods to remove these fruit stains from linen or cambric is to place the stained part over a bowl and con tinue pouring boiling water through until the stain disappears. If this be done soon after the article tsstaiu ed, there will be no trouble in in ist cases. The water must be boiling hot. How to Ileiiitfln Young. To remain young a woman must keep her joints limber. If neglect ed, they become pal ful and stiff. Women groan with rheumatic pains when, if they exercised ' properly, rh"umbti-iin wouid be unheard of. Women lt by a tire and shiver with cold when if they encouraged gym nastics the blood would circulate vigorously through the body and the cold would disappear. N. Y. Press. A Moutli Wash. All excellent wash for the mouth and teeth and also for the hair is made by dissolving two ounces (about four even tablespoonfuls) of borax in three pints of boiling wa ter. While still warm add to this a teaspoouful of spirits of camphor. Bottle and keep on the washstaud. When ready to use, add equal amount of warm water. Health llititn. When Gladstone was asked the se cret of his vigorous health, he said : ' There was ouce a road leading out of Loudon on which more horses died than on any other, and an in quiry revealed the fact that it was perfectly level. Consequently, the animals, in traveling over it, used only one setof muscles. Continuous employment of the same physical power on the same lines, results in physical exhaustion." "A well developed thorax is con sidered," says Smiles, "aim ist as indispensable to the successful law yeror politician as a well-cult-red intellect. 'The thorough teration of the blood by free exposure to a large breathing surface in the lungs is necessary to maintain that full vi tal power on which the vigorous working of the brain in so large a measure depends " . It is a wonde- that we live at all. We violate every law of our being, yet we expect to live to a ripe old age. What would you thiuk of a man who, having an elegant watch delicately aujusted to heat and cold, should leave it on the sidewalk with cases open on a dusty or a aiuy day. and yet expect it to keep good time? What would you think of a house holder who should leave the doors and windows of his mansion open to thieves and trumps, to winds and dust and rain? What are our bodies but timepieces made by an Infinite Hand, wound up to run a century, and so delicately adjusted to heat and cold that the temperature will not vary half a degree between the heat of summer and he cold of win ter, whether we live in the regions of eternal frost or under the burning sun of the tropics? A particle of dust or the slightest friction will throw this wonderful timepiece out of or der, yet we often leave it exposed to all the corroding elements. We do notalways keep open the twenty five miles of ventilating pores in the skin by frequent bathing. We sel dom lubricate the delicate wheeis of the body with toe oil of gladness. We expose it to dust and cinders, colds and draughts, and poisonous ga.-es. Exchang . THE CONyUEKOK.

The love that hath crowned me, A necklace around me, That closer to God and to heaven hath bound me! "Ills mother's his sweetheart.' Through all the sad year His love is the rainbow that shines through my tears ; My litcht in Uod's darkness, when with my dim eyes I see hot the stars 'rt 'her storm of his skies. When I bow 'neath the 1 ad And no rose deck the sod, His love lights the path way that leads me to God! "His mother's his sweetheart." Shine bright for his feet, O lamps on life's highway! and roses, lean sweet To the lips of my darlinir! and God grant his sun And his stars to my dutiful, beautiful one! For his iove it hath crowned me, A necklace around me, And closer to God and to heaven hath bound me! Ladies' Home Journal. A CLEVEIt THICK.

WOMAN'S WORK. An opt old adage de clares that woman's work is never done. This is true of the houst wife's manifold du ties and ap proximately true of the thousands who work all day in factor ies and stores and half the night in making and mending their own clothes or sewing for others to patch out meagre income. Women who are too much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the strain of over-work, and worry. are peculiarly susceptible to the weak nesses and irregularities that are the bane of womankind. The symptoms of sue a derangements are insufficient or ecesive menstruation, headache, backache, neu ralgia, leucorrhcea, displacements and ex treme nervousness amounting in many cases to hysteria. The use of morphine i dangerous and examinations by male phy ticiaus are painful and unpleasant.
