A GLOVE.
Ah. yesterday I found s glow
Growa shabby, full of tiny rips.
But dear to me because my love
- Oaos through It thrust her finger-tips.
A jrtoro one would not care to see
upon bis arm in publJo street:
Tet bore I own there Is for me
No relic In the world more sweat.
A faint, far scent of lavender
Steals from It. as the clover smelt.
When through the fields I walked with her
Aad plucked the blossoms for ber belt.
Faith I but I loved the little hand.
That used to wear this tlme-stalncd thing!
IU slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart fluttering.
Or If It touched my finger, so.
Or smoothed my hair why should I speak
Of those old days? It makes, you know.
The tears brim over on my cheek.
Poor stained, worn-out, lontf-wristed glove!
X think It almost understands
That reverently and with love
I hold it in my trembling bands.
And that it is so dear to me.
With its old fragrance, far and fatal.
Because my mother wore It, she
Om earth my love, In heaven my saint.

A FEABFUL VOYAGE.
Old Lady Blown Across
North Sea In a Boat.
the
Elizabeth Mouat, the heroine of the
almost miraculous trip of the Colum
bine from the ooast of the Shellands to
Norway, arrived in Edinburgh lately
nd hag been interviewed. She lived
on one of the Shetland Isles for sixty
yean. She was the daughter of a poor
shoemaker. Her first husband was a
sailor engaged in the Greenland whale
fishery. The last ship on which he was
employed was never again heard of
after it sailed from port. Her second
husband was a fisherman. For thirty
years she led the simple life of toilsome
industry which is the lot of so many Shet
land women, working among stock and
with tho peat-gatherers by day and at
the famous hosiery in the evenings. She
has long been regarded as bearing a
charmed life in the district of Scatness,
whero she lived. Eighteen years ago
lie was accidentally snot in the crown
of tho head by a sportsman who had
not observed her being in rango of his
game. Ten years later, while driving
a peat-cart, the pony became restive
and she was thrown out. Ono of the
wheels crushed her foot, injuring also
her hip. She has never been fully well
sinco hence her trip to Lerwick to sec
a doctor thcro. She was intrusted
with forty knitted shawls by her neigh
bors to sell. These she returns with,
thus keeping her trust sacred. The
skipper of tho Columbine, a fishing
craft of twenty-one tons, offered her a
passage. The Columbine had left Ler
wick and the trip should have extend
ed to Dunrossness and Fair Isle, to
which places it carried the sample mail
bag, but the rough weather compelled
it to return to Lerwick when it was only
twenty-four miles away. Proceeding
to sea with the usual complement of
throe men, the little vessel had not long
been under way before the weather be
came boisterous.
Elizabeth Mouat was below seasick,
and was seated near the foot of the
cabin steps. She heard the skipper
cry out: The mainsheets arc broken!"
Looking up through the open hatchway
she saw him run to the fore part of the
boat, and the next moment heard another
voice cry: "Clear away the boat!"
Fearing something alarming hail oc
curred, she endeavored to climb up the
steps to look out In doing so she fell
. JUkfikjOR th&jtofif nuA'bflgHltf SHCClia
tag tho steps, to her amazement she
discovered the crew had left. She felt
no doubt that when the skipper went
forward the swinging boom had
knocked him overboard, and that with
in ten minutes of her fall the two men
bad put out in the boat to rescue him.
The sad fate of the Captain and the
dismay with which the men discovered
tho Columbine again under way and
fonnd it impossible to overtake her arc
already known, as also the exhausted
condition in which the men reached
land; tho alarm spread as the Colum
bine was seen from shore driving sea
ward with a solitary invalid woman on
board; the starting in pursuit of the
steam trawlers Gypsy and the Earl of
Zetland, and their return without find
iagany traces of the ill-fated craft.
The vessel was rolling at tho mercy
of tho waves in tho stormy North Sea,
and as the well-known outlines of the
islands were quickly left behind, the
truth of the terrible situation in which
she was placed presented itself to the
old woman. Being under no sort of
control, the helm shitted at every lurch.
The waves washed over the deck first
from one side and then from the other.
Heavy showers of spray were blown
down the hatchway. Tho loosened sail
flopping with the wind, was gradually
being reduced to tatters. The boom
was swinging, and the ropes, with the
blocks attached, wcro flying danger
ously about from the rigging.
"I could only maintain a silting pos
ture," said tho woman, "by keeping a
firm hold of a rope fastened to the roof,
and was in danger every moment of be
ing thrown violently on the floor. Tho
idea of being alono in a little craft on a
stormy sea, with darkness of night
coming on, horrified me. A feeling of
terror came over me and I commenced
to scream. Then I became calm,
knowing my voice could reach no hu
man ear, and then thero came to me
the thought of tho impossibility of peo-
Ele on snore ever being aware of my
ite. This was one Saturday night.1'
She then told how the long hours till
daylight were passed in tiresome efforts
to maintain her sitting position, now
with one hand and then with the other
holding on to the rope until each be-
same benumbed; how a lurch of the
vessel overturned the table, and the
drawers of the locker slid out with a
crash, and for the rest of the night
rolled noisily about; how by the light
of a match she succeeded in filing her
feet upon the heaviest articles on the"
floor, and bv burning several other
matches tried to restore a little warmth
to her fingers. Sunday, as daylight
came, she fancied she heard a little
church bell ring. She prayed and soon
felt calmer. Having tasted nothing
since Saturday, she xnade-her first meal
on board, which was confined to half a
biscuit and a small quantity of milk.
The experience of Sunday was much
.like that of the previous afternoon.
.The storm continued mi abated in
Jarr. In the course of the day another
heavy lurch brought down the com-
.panion ladder. She had not sufficient
strength" to replace it, and was thus
.practically imprisoned. By standing
ea a chest fastened under the laiisr
,she could look out, and every day cast
her eyes over the sea in search of land
- waffling vessels. Sunday closed
ears: and stormy and the prospect of
sawaer night of terror was so ever-

The Captain's watch hanging on a
nail in the cabin had ceased to go at
12 JOMonday. When the lonely woman
fancied the day had advanced to
about that hour she wound it np. This
she did daily until her release, when,
as she somewhat triumphantly said,
the watch was found to be not bo far
wrong. Tho presence of the watch,
too, was a source of quiet comfort.
Searching around the cabin during the
moments when the lurching ceased,
she found a stout sailor's jacket, which
she put on above her shawl. Thus a
6ufEcientdcgrec of heat was maintained
in her body to prevent any serious
shivering, which in the night might
have been very dangerous.
Monday night, like the two which
had preceded it, closed dark and cheer
less. Tuesday morning brought no
improvement in the weather. Tho
snmn. ecnntv mf!i1 was ntrain nnrtiilrnn.
Toward the afternoon the weather mod-
erated, and it was possible to sit with
out holding tho rope. The cold in her
extremities was the chief cause of the
old woman's suffering. Wednesday tho
sun was shining brightly, and continued
so all day. There was in this a glim
mer of comfort, and the poor, lonely
creature sat down to her last meal on
board with the last half of her biscuit
and' drinking from a bottle of milk.
She then climbed upon the box and
looked out. It was midday, and the
bow was directed toward the sun.
Looking behind, to her momentary
delight she saw land which she knew
by the sun to lay northward, and that
the course of the vessel was for tho
time southerly. She described tho land
as a range of low hills with much high
er snow-covered hills in tho distance.
The course of the vessel soon left them
far behind. By Thursday morning the
craft had lost every rag of sail ana was
drifting stern foremost. More cheer
less hours passed. Early Friday morn
ing the wind sprung up. The sea was
violent, and hunger and horror again
oppressed the old woman. Her thirst
increased and she eagerly licked drops
from the cabin windows. Through
Saturday the storm continued, but after
midnight, then one hundred and sixty
eight hours having passed, she felt
the first indication that either
help or destruction was at hand. The
vessel began to strike violently on
some submerged rocks, and with the
rise and fall of the sea sho found a bed
now on one inclination and then on an
other. The timbers began to break and
strain, and as the vessel struck rock
after rock the noises produced by the
bumping, the shifting of tho furniture,
and oscillation of the mast which now
began to givo way were to the prison
er most terror-striking.
When Sunday morning broko, weak
and exhausted as sho was from starva
tion and exposure, and notwithstand
ing that the vessel was still rolling
among the rocks, Elizabeth Mouat con
trived to raise hcrsclt once more upon
the box and to look out. Hero at last
was land. Tho vessel was still beating
along stern foremost. At about eight
o'clock the Columbine ran upon a
shingly beach, leaned over to one side,
and remained fast, tho mast in the same
minute going over into the sea with a
lond crash. As the vessel leaned tow
ard shore the water in the hold made
its way into the cabin and soon rose to
a foot.
The place where the Columbine came
to land after its erratic vovage across
the North Sea was the little island of
Lcpsoe, on the coast of Norway, twelve
miles north of the fishing town of
Aalesund. This island is four miles
long and two broad, consisting mainly
of one huge rock one thousand six
hundred feet high with, at several
places, narrow seaboard bowlders.
Where the Columbine stranded there is
only a very short stretch of shingly
beach, and had the vessel struck a few
fathoms either to the east or west of
the identical spot on which It now lies
it would only have been dashed to
pieces against the precipitous rocks
Elizabeth Mouat would have been
killed.
The solitary passenger was now
eagerly looking out from the hatchway,
which stood breast high to her from
her footing on the box beneath. She
was able to see 3'oung lads who had for
some time been watching the smack.
She waved her arms and raised her
voice to its highest pitch. As the
poor woman screamed for help
the lads shouted in return. Sev
eral ran off to the nearest hamlet,
called Farstad, for assistance. A num
ber of fishermen arrived, but as the
vessel was distant from the beach six
hundred yards and was in a heavy surf
it was evidently going to be a work of
considerable difficulty to get on board.
One fisherman with a rope around his
waist walked into the sea, but was sev
eral times beaten back. At length,
getting hold of a part of a sail and a
rope hanging from the bow he climbed
on board and was soon afterward fol
lowed by a companion. Meantime
Elizabeth had by a desperate effort
climbed out on the deck, where she
had never been since she had crone on
board, and the men found her sitting
almost helpless. Their language was
unknown to her, but they soon gathered
that tho helpless woman was the only
living creature on board. By means of
a rope from shore and with the assist
ance of the recurring waves, the vessel
was pulled as far up on the beach as
practicable and made fast.
Still, however, tho distance between
the vessel and the land w:is great. Tho
fishermen put a rope around the
woman's waist and threw it to land.
They next lifted her over the bow and
gave her hold of the rope bj which tho
vessel had been drawn toward the
shore, and which was there held taut
by willing hands. Suspended in mid
air, this much tried woman of sixty
years actually scrambled hand over
hand for a distance of several yards
until relieved byCaro men from the
shore, who, standing up to their mid
dle in the water, caught her in their
arms. She was carried ashore nearly
dead with terror and exhaustion.
The people gave her food and rest.
She gained strength rapidly and was
taken soon to the mainland, and thenco
by steamer to HulL Thence hither by
rail. Here she found a telegram
awaiting her from the manager of the
Royal Aquarium in London offering to
pay her 10 a week and expenses to
come to the aquarium. All she would
have to do would be to receive visitors
The' proposal was at once declined.

LONGEVITY.
Conditions Favorable to the Enjoyment f
a Long and Ilealthy life.
Statistics arc strange things; we can
not very well refuse to believe them, but
certainly one's reason hesitates some
times to accept the facts and figures they
present. For instance, when we read
ancient history, or even modern history
up to three hundred years ago, wo are
not quite prepared to believe tho statis
tician to be correct, when he says that
tho average of human life is greater now
than it ever was. It would seem to us
that civilization with its consequent lux
ury and indolence, its improved in
ability to acquire facilities for pleasure,
and its enervating effects, would rather
shorten than prolong lifo, but figures,
which thev sav "never lie," tell us dif-
. fcrently. The ancients certainly knew
little of physic, and so far as can be
learned, diseases wero by no means so
numerous among them as among us.
It may be that their physicians were
more skillful. It is told of Esculapius,
that ho was so successful in healing
tho sick that Pluto complained to
Jupiter that because of it bis kingdom,
hades, was not so populous as.it should
be, and Jupiter made Esculapius sign a
contract to play into Pluto's hand. Eho
contract was perpetual and binding on
all physicians thereafter. Physic was
unknown in Ronio for six hundred
years. It was then tested as to its vir
tues. It was condemned and banished
from the city at the suggestion of Cato,
the censor, who declared that ho had
lived eighty-five years without it, and
had never had it in his family; therefore
it was not wise nor necessary for people
I to take medicme, nor to have medical
attendance. And as his motion was
carried, it looks as though ho voiced the
sentiments of tho majority.
Accepting the statistician's figures,
let us see what effect civilization has had
in prolonging lifo. Tho avcrago of
human life ten years ago was 33 years.
In ancient Rome, from two hundred to
five hundred years before tho birth of
Christ, tho avcrago dnratlon among tho
wealthy classes was 30 years. In this
century the avcrago of tho same class of
people is 50 years. In tho sixteenth
century it was, I think, about 21.21
years. Between 1814 and 18S3 it was
40. C8, and as many people now livo to
70 years old, as lived to bo 48 years of
ago three hundred years ago.
In 1C93 the British government bor
rowed nionoy by selling annuities on
lives from infancy upward, oa tho basis
of tho average longevity. Tho treasury
received the price, and paid tho annu
ities as long as the person lived, and the
contract was satisfactory to all con
cerned, and also profitable. In 1790
Mr. Pitt used another scale of annuities,
on tho expectation of life as the previous
century, but it proved at that time to bo
a costly loan for the government, for the
annuitants lived longer than their prede
cessors had lived. It was then investi
gated and ascertained that while 10,
000 of each sex in tho first tontino (1693)
died under the ago of 28, only 5,772
males and 6,416 females died at that ago
when the second tontino, or scalo of an
nuities, was made. Tho avcrago length
of life among the annuitants of 1693
w:is 25.5 years, and thoso of 1790 almost
84 years. That is, in each case,
the party lived to bo over 30 years
of age. Now, as said above, tho aver
age is 83 years. One-fourth of the pop
ulation die. at or before the average of
7 years. Among 10,000 persons 1 lives
to bo 100, 20 live to be 90 and 1 in 100
lives to be 60.
Of course professions cxerolso a groat
Influence on longevity, and the rich
live longer than tho poor. Tho births
exceed the deaths by about sixteen or
seventeen per minute. Thonmnber of fe
male births is four percent, greater than
the male births, and at tho age of twen-
tv thero arc more females than males.

on U" " n twloa while at seven
ty the number is supposed to bo about
even, but betweon seventy and one hun
dred tho excess of women over men is
fully five per cent., which shows that
after forty the probabilities of longevity
aro greater for women than for men.
We read of cases of longevity, and
can neither disprovo nor prove them,
since, until 1538, no registers wore kept
wherein such things wcro recorded. In
1612 the Countess of Desmond lived to
lw one hundred and forty-five. In 1635
Thomas Parr lived to bo ono hundred
and fifty-two, and In 1648 Thomas
Damme died at ono hundred ami fifty
four. In 1670 Henry Jenkins lived to
one hundred and sixty-nine, while Peter
Norton died in 1741 at tho ripo age of
one hundred and eighty-five years. Tho
list of authenticated cases of longevity
shows plainly that something in the
habits of the people of Ireland and En

to long life.

IIow They Are Related to the Magic ot
Wontern Kurope.
In regard to the magic of Western
Europe, since the establishment of
Christianity, some 'singular evidence
has been forthcoming from, the discov
eries made on the sites of ancient Nine
veh and Babylon by Sir Henry Layard
and other explorers, followed by the in
vestigations of scholars of tho present
day based on these discoveries. A whole
literature has been disentombed, and its
contents have been partially deciphered.
This literature consists of tablets .of
of clay, written on in a cunei
form character, and is mado np of
treatises on theology, magic, astronomy,
agriculture and niathemathics, most of
it upward of three thousand years old.
The magical treatises consist of noth
ing but litanies, indicating the vites
used for the expulsion of the evil de
mons, and for salvation-from their pp-
erations. The descriptions given of
these evil demons show clearly that they
wero what-we nowadays term diseases
such as fever, plague, leprosy, and what
not, as also poisons. Diseases wero
looked upon by the writers of these tab
lets, as fffcy are to this day by uncivi
lized people, as evil spirits which took
possession of their victims, and it was
imagined that by tho utterance of prop
er words, and by using suitablo rites,
they could be expelled, or prevented
from causing mischief, or that good
spirits could be brought to operate
against them. Ancient Magic

THE PEARL OF SAVOY.
Queen Margarita of Italy the nest-Dressed
Woman in the World.
American women visit Europe for a
variety of purposes. Sonio go for tho
sake of displaying their clothing and
jewelry; others for tho purpose of secur
ing rich and titled husbands, and others
to spend money. A few go abroad for
the purpose of studying art and music,
and a still smaller number to learn
L-snorti;fy it u. people oi xoreign
countries. Ono American woman of
wealth and fashion, it appears, by tho
foreign papers, left our shores some two
years ago for the purpose of discovering
who was tho bcstAlressed woman in all
Europo. She visited London, Edin
burgh, Pans, Berlin, Vienna, Geneva and
St Petersburg, and mingled in the best
society in thoso cities. Sho attended
weddings, operas and balls, and numer
ous slate receptions. Sho professes to
havo seen all tho reigning
Queens, Princesses and "professional
beauties" m Europe. She was not
charmed with the dress of any of tho
women she saw. She concluded the
long journey had been mado in vain.
So she went to Rome, as many people
have done who wero tho victims of
disappointment. There she unexpect
edly discovered what she had been look
ing for in vain. She found the best
dressed women of Europe, and she be
liovcs tho best dressed woman of all the
world. This woman who has mastered
the art of dressing properly and well on
all occasions is Margharita, wife of
ing Humbert of Italy. She thinks it
not strange that her subjects delicht
in calling her "The Pearl of Savov."
Her dresses aro always becoming, al
ways olegant, always beautiful, but
never very costly. Receiving visitors
at tho royal palaco, attending opera,
on her way to church, or visiting the
sick in charity hospitals, her dresses
are always becoming the place and the
occasion. Still the investigator de
clares that the Queen docs not spend as
much on dresses as many a rich woman
in this country or England docs.
Jf the wife of King Humbert has dis
covered the art of dressing well at a very
small expense, it is to the credit of a
woman of our country that sho has mado
the fact known to tho world. Possibly,
however, there may be some mistake
about it. Queen Margharita is a very
beautiful woman. Sho had great beau
ty as a child, and she has never grown
out of it. Quito likely her beauty height
ens the appearance of her dress, as licr
dress does her personal loveliness. She
is probably ono of thoso women "who
look well in anything." That sho is
very sensible ami lovely, as well as a
most beautiful woman, is the unanimous
"opinion of her subjects. Some state that
the beauty of her face is but the outward
expression to her 6oul. Whon but six
teen, and about to be married to the

ials produced on Italian soil. Though sho
married a Prince, he was a poor man,
for his incomo was not large, and, as
King, he voluntarily undertook to pay all
his father's debts by installments. To do
this required many years, during all of
which time his wife spent very little
money on dressmakers and milliners.
It is stated by some that tho dresses of
the Queen of Italy are to be the models
for the fashions. If this is the case,
Italian lace and dress goods will bo in
demand. It is to be hoped that if the
women of this country adopt the style
of dresses worn by Queen Alarghama,
they will copy her sweetness of man
ner, her habits of economy, and her
Sractice of caring for the sick and
estitute. They will also do well to re
member that she affords evidence of the
truth of the' old maxim "Handsome is
that handsome does." Cor. Chicago

establishment, with thn dumands of so

upon the nervous on-ry of women that
they are glad to escape occasionally to
tho irresponsibility of hotel life. Mr.
King noticed that many of tho women
had tho unmistakable air of familiarity
with this sort of lifo, both in tho dining

nearly so timid as some of the mou.

Parents and Children.
There arc pareutn who manifest thoir
lovo for children by gratifying every
wish and abjuring all authoritf. They
aro surprised in time that their children
neither heed nor respect them. The
fault is llu'ir own. The
very tact that
they exercise no controlling inilueuco
led to a fooling of contempt. There was
no authority to reripeot, and no qualities
that especially commanded conlidencc.
A linn kind heart i.s felt and appreciat
ed by children. They aro keen readers
of human nature ami know when they
are lirruiy or weakly governed. Such
commands as are givun should bo so
manifcatly just as to nave tho approval
of their judgments. They know when
they are wrongly punished and undor
stand when h-tr-di rebukes arc the mcro
outgrowth of the parent's irritation and
not of the chilli's wronir. Confidence
...
anil I.svo can bo inspired by sympathe
tic iirm::ess better than by mere indul
gence. A father said once to his son,
who deserved punishment: "My son if
it will better impress you with tho
wrong you have done, I will expose my
self to the punishment that belongs to
you." Tho lad felt the rebuk and bog-
fed to be punished and reformed.

Good Words.
The grandest of all empires is to role
one's self. There are few grand who
aro not also calm. If you hear that
others hare spoken ill of yon, consider if
yon havo not done the same about many
people. How much better to heal an in
jury than to avenge it! Guard vigorously
that social tie which binds man toman,
and establishes the rights common to
the human race. Life is a pilgrimage, a
warfare, and those who climb np and
down steep paths and go through dan
gerous enterprises) are the brave men
and the leaders in camp. To rest basely
at the cost of others' labors is to W a
coward, Ufa because demised.

Use the soft brush with water only, or
at most, with nothing else but pure soap
in addition. Soap is not only more
cleansing than anything elso, but it
leaves a sweeter ana pleasanter taste,
and is nover followed by injurious ef
fects. A writer ln tho People's Health Journal
tells of a debilitated patient who did
not do at all well on beef tea, but' was
easily restored to health on a diet of
bean soup. The only remarkable thing
about this is that the patient over ex
ported to derivo strength and nourish
ment from beef tea alone. Considering
that we have upwards of a hundred
( thousand doctors, and that a very large
Iiroporuon of them aro fully agrocd that
eef tea is almost valueless, except as a
stimulant; it is surprising that people
continue to look upon it as a food.

Children's Feet and Small snoea.
Too much cannot bo said against the
cruelty of foroing children's feet into
short and narrow-toed shoes. A man
in a largo and fashionable shoe store
said that lie sometimes used all his
strength, that of a developed man, to
forco large foot into small shoes, for
Kown folks, but when ho was requested
mothers to put shoes too small on
children, he objected. Many children.
before tbey are ten vcars old, have in
cipient corns, bunions and callouses,
caused bv the foolish pride or careless
ness on tno part of tho mothers. Many do
not know that if a child's foot is allow
ed to develop naturally, that when fully
developed, it can wear with ease a
much smaller shoe than whon crowded
back and forced ont of shapo while
growing so fast Tho foot is one of the
parts of the body that completes its
growth early. Tho size of the feet of a
Sowing boy are sometimes noticeably
rge; when tho rest of the body has
finished its growth tho feet are propor
tionate. If a growing foot Is crowded
Into short shoes, the toes are pushed
back and become thick at the ends.
They are pressed np against the top oi
tho shoo and corns are made. They aro
enlarged at the great and little too
Joints, causing bunions, which are more
painful than corns. Narrow-toed shoes
cause lapping of the toes, callouses, and
corns, especially on the side of the large
too and under the widest part of the
foot; ingrowing toe-nails are also pro
duced. Corns cannot be cured 00 long
as pressure is on them. This mast first
be removed. A man who suffered tor
ribly with corns, said he would do any
thing to cure them. His friend said,
you aro going up Into- the -Mountains-
barefooted this summer." He did
, and his feet were entirely cured.
Anothor cut the tops of the shoes away,
leaving the soles and tho leather back of
the toe-joints and toes. Pauline Ade

A Wise Captain.
A Nantucket steamboat captain was
once asked br a nnmenrrer on his boat
-yhow much ardent spirits no used.
He replied, "I never drank a tea
'spoonful of rum. brandy, gin. cider,
Vwino or beer; I never Miio'ked or snuffed,
and never drank tea or coffee."
"But," said tho passenger, "what do
you drink with your breakfast?"
"fVllfi orator" was fVin .neva.
"And what with your dinnerP
"Cold water."
; "Well," said tho passenger, "but what
;do you tako when you are sick?"
'"I nover was nek in my life," was
the ready and glad reply.
He was a wise captain. He was ac
customed to exposure in all sorts ef bad
weather? wind and. storm, and never be
lieved in the foolish notion that ho must
take a drop of spirits to "keep ont the
cold."
Cold water was the drink of Adam In
-Paradise. Cold water was the drink of
the children of Israel in the wilderness.
It was also tho drink of Samson, and of
Daniel, and of John tho Baptist It is
the best driak foryoo. LUtU Amm
