THE DISPERSION OF MANKIND.
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.

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.
