Stately on Sbinar’a ancient plain Uprose a mighty thought in stone. The thinkers scoffed in pure disdain Of forces mightier than their own. Full many a moon had waxed and waned. Full many a brain and hand had striven To pile a tower, which, unrestrained By bound or bar, should smite the heaven. Then came the injured Godhead down And cursed them with an alien speech. And from the thunder of his frown Afar they wandered, each from each. But in the curse a blessing lurked. From baffled language nations grew, And thus the wrath of heaven hath worked The purpose of its mercy too. —W. Morley Punshon. BARWELL’S MAID. I used to have several customers in Silverado. It is only a pleasant ride out from here in the beautiful summer morning, long before the sun begins to peep above the Sierras and when the dawn is just beginning to break bright and fair, as dawn never does show any where except in this semitropieal clime. The road to Silverado is bordered on both sides with long rows of pepper trees. Now, other fellows may have a different taste in trees, but for me there never was anything in trees so pretty as a row of peppers, with branches looking down like the eyes of a modest girl when she sees her lover coming along the road, and the first glint of day creeping through them and making little gold paths in them till you don’t know whether the tree itself is green or yel low, and the morning breezes blowing through them till they ripple and shine all over as if they were laughing. There never was anything else so like a pretty woman with a smile on her face as those pepper trees in the morning with the wind blowing over them—that kind of a smile that creeps over the face in a soft, lazy way and laughs in the eyes and hides away in the waves of hair. I used to think that the pepper trees were what made me like to drive my milk wagon out to Silverado. But that was before I had seen the little maid at Barwell’s. Barwell’s was a boarding house. Sil verado was a kind of health resort, and people used to come from the east and go out there winters and board at Bar well’s. Maybe it did their health good, but I don’t think Barwell’s' ever im proved the health of the little maid very much. If it did, she must have been a sight to behold before she came. The first time I saw her she came out with the milk can. Usually it stood on the stoop waiting to be filled, and I would pour in the milk and leave it standing there for the first servant who was up to come out and get it. But this time it seemed to have been forgotten, and the little maid had crept out in the early dawn to bring it and stood shiver ing in the morning chill, for the dawn of a semitropic morning near the sea is not warm, however the mind may tend to romance concerning its balminess. And she was such a very little maid I could scarcely see her on the other side of the milk can and thought at first that the can had just taken a notion to walk out alone and get itself filled. “Hello!” I said. “Yes,” she replied, quite as a matter of course. And then I saw what a very thin and white little maid it. was. “Where did you come from?” “If you please, I’m Mrs. Barwell’s girl. I work for my keep.” Now, I did not please in the least. I should have preferred, if she must be anybody’s girl, that it should be any one else in the world whom I had ever seen. And as for the “keep,” if there is any proof in looks, it must have been very small. I chanced to have a big orange in my wagon that some one on my drive, who had an orange orchard, had given me. I threw it to her when I had filled the can. She caught it eagerly, and when I looked back as I drove off I saw her going up the walk with the orange pressed up close to her mouth. After that I never forgot to have an orange, or a nectarine, or some apricots in my wagon when I stopped at Barwell’s. Sometimes the milk can would be on the stoop, and I would not see the little maid for several days, but when I did see her again I would give her all the good things that had accumulated in my wagon since the last time I saw her. And good things had a way of accumulating very rapidly at that time. Once when Mrs. Barwell happened to be up early to get a picnic party success fully off her hands I saw her seize the little maid and drag her into the kitchen. And I thought she struck her just as the door was closing. I grew hot all over and thought savagely that if Mrs. Bar | well had been a man I should have called her out. As it was, I had a fancy that it would do me good to get out and assault Mrs. Barwell’s kitchen door and fling my opinion at her gratuitously and forci bly. But neither course seemed quite feas ible. I picked up my whip furiously and looked around for something to lay it onto. As I could see nothing available for that purpose but my patient, good tempered horse, who never gave me the slightest excuse for savagery, I put it down again with a resolution to mak - things more even some day, though it never entered my ridiculous head in what particular way I could accomplish the leveling process. But the little maid got a whole apronful of the nicest peaches and nectarines and pomegranates in th • market the next morning when I stopped to deliver the milk. So time went by until the little maid had grown into a slip of a girl and would have been a pretty one, too, if she had not been so thin and white as to the cheeks and staring as to the eyes. She had beautiful eyes, but they in company with her other features had grown so starved that it made anybody hungry only to look at them. About the time that I began to notice these little things about her eyes and features generally, I thought she began to be a little shy. The milk can always stood in its place on the stoop, and 1 had nothing to do but pour in the milk and drive off, which you might say was a much more convenient way. But as day after day and week after week passed and I did not see her it did not seem so very comfortable after all. I wondered if she were ill or had gone away. I remembered how she used to look as she stood in the faint light of the morning, holding the big can in her arms. 1 wondered if her eyes were still so big and wan and hungry and half frightened looking. I wondered if her face was so pallid and pinched, and if she still shivered so in the morning wind that came np chill from the tea. By that time quite a large pile of good things had gathered in my wagon, for I could not bear to throw them away and thought every morning that maybe the little maid would come out. I thought once of piling them up around the milk can and leaving them for her to find, but was afraid somo one else might come and find them first. So it went on till one morning just as I had filled the can and was going down the path the kitchen door was thrown open with a bang, and the little maid rushed out, Mrs. Barwell hard after her with some heavy thing in her hand, lifted up high to throw at the girl. Quick as a flash I caught the little maid in my arms, and put her into my cart, and jumped in after her, and drove off faster than I ever drove before in my life, Mrs. Barwell running after us down the street. But she soon gave up the chase. Down the lane we dashed, under the low hanging branches of the pepper trees, that touched me softly in the face as wo passed. The breeze blew softly over us, laden with the fragrance that drifted from the rose trees that bloom perennially in the dooryards along the way. Presently tue little maul looked up at mo with a face so rosy that I should not have known her had I met her anywhere else. There was a look, half frightened, half confiding, in her eyes, and as I met that look I knew all of a sudden why it was that I had missed her so, and why I had wondered so much about her eyes and her face. I bent over her and shouted: “Will you marry me?” for the horse was gal loping, and the wheels were crunching, and the cans were rattling, and if I had whispered the question as men in stories and poetry do she would never have heard me. And when she slipped her hand into mine and looked at me with the fear gone out of her wide eyes and only the confidence left I thought :t just as well as if I had done it according tc all the rules of propriety. There was a chum of mine lived along the way that had just been made a jus tice of the peace, and I whipped up tc the gate and lifted the little maid out and almost carried her into the house. “How long will it take you to marry us, if you go at top speed?” I asked my astonished friend. He did not answei me, but went to work in his liveliest style, and by the time Mrs. Barwell rat tled up in her old chaise the little maid had passed away from her care forever. —M. E. Torrence in Pittsburg Leader. Tbe Salt Rub. Various sanitariums and private hos pitals are using “the salt rub,” and it is becoming so popular that some Turkish bath establishments are advertising it as a special attraction. It is just as good for well people as sick ones, is the most refreshing of all the baths and rubs ever invented, only excepting a dip in the sea itself, and is matchless in its effect upon the skin and complexion. With all theso virtues, it is the simplest, most easily managed of all similar measures, and can be taken at home easily. Put a few pounds of coarse salt, the coarsest you can get, sea salt by prefer ence, in an earthen jar, and pour enough water on it to produce a sort of slush, but not enough to dissolve the salt. This should then be shaken up in handfuls and rubbed briskly over the entire per son. Of course it is better to have it rubbed on by another person, but any one in ordinary health can do it for her self or himself very satisfactorily. This being done, the next thing is a thorough douching of clean water, preferably cold, with a brisk rubbing with a dry towel. The effect of elation, freshness and re newed life is felt immediately, and the satiny and increased clearness and bright ness of the complexion swell the testi mony in fayor of the salt rub.—New York World. An terror in Punctuation. The ancient church dedicated to the pious memory of St. Helena, who, tra dition saith, went to “Jerusalem, my happy home” and found the true cross at Helland, is a comfortable hour's walk from Bodmin town. The rector, a good sort of a fellow, had a touch of the rheumatism awhile since and was rec ommended the waters at Bath. So there he went. But Saturday came round, and no “supply” for Sunday’s pulpit could be found. At the last moment, however, and aft er the rector had been wired to return, a worthy cleric named Smith, who had come to Bodmin as a witness in an as size case, volunteered his services as a locum tenens. So another telegram was dispatched in haste to Bath to stay the invalid from coming back. It was hand ed in at the Bodmin office and read thus: “Smith has gone to Helland. You stop where you are.” When the messenger boy handed the orange enveloped epistle to his reverence at the other end, the latter tore it open and read with astonishment: “Smith has gone to Hell and you stop where you are.”—Christian Adviser.
