And fain would I remember Bright things, glad things, my footsteps met -Before they touched December, But the home where my childhood learned it ' songs, , And the trees where my father set them. And the, brook' and the bank where the pine belongs, - I never can forget them. Bo many things I do forget, And fain would I remember, ' Bright things, wise things, my footsteps met Before they touched December, But the friends of childhood's long ago, By the mountain shadowed river With a fadeless light their names shall glow Forever and forever. Bo many things 1 do forget, And fain would I remember, Bright things, sweet things, my footsteps met Before they crossed November, But the blue of my angel mother's eyes And the tears of love that wet them. And the kisses of one beyond the skies, I never shall forget them. , Bo many things I have forgot, Nor wish I to remember. Sad things, hard things, I tell them not , To April or December, But the ivies of the mountain wood, And the scarlet plums behind them. Would I forget them if I could, . Forgetting who could find them. So many things we do forget, And fain we would remember, Ere feet that danced the minuet Have walked to slow December. But the songs that silent lips have sung Our memories silhouette them. ' We sing them over. We are young1 And never can forget them. Julia EL May in Boston Journal. MAN IN THE MOON. , It waa the last day of the late great frost, and, unmindful of my 60 odd years, I undertook to skate 20 miles oi so along the frozen Lea. When I re turned home, I was tired so tired that scarcely was. I seated in my armchair when I found myself nodding, and un doubtedly I should have fallen asleep had not an exceedingly strange circum stance happened. To be brief, then, I was lifted from my obair in my home in north London, whirled through space for a couple ol hours and then deposited gently but firmly on the moon. ' Scarcely had I recovered my breath when an aged man of venerable aspeot, whom I at once reoognized as the man In the moon, approached me and in quired ruy Dusiness. i explained mac j was an involuntary trespasser on hie hospitality, and then, thinking as I was triers l misnt as well learn sometnina about the history of our satellite and its inhabitants supposing there were any I proceeded as respectfully as might be to question the old fellow. "Yes; you are right, " he exclaimed in answer to my query as he placed the load of . fagots he was carrying on a projecting mass of granite and rested his back against the cone of an extinct volaano. "I have seen a lot of changes in my time. How old am I? Well, I don't know exactly, but it is some mil lions of years ago since my first birth day, i "Why, bless my heart, when I was a lad, this old dried up moon was as bright and fresh as your earth is now. "Seas sparkled in thesunlight, brooks gleamed and flashed through the valleys and forests clothed with verdure the mountains now dead and silent Aye, these were glorious times. The birds sang in the woods from early dawn to nightfall, the fishes leaped and plashed and leaped and plashed again in every eddy and pool of onr prehistorio rivers. Great mammals, some uncouth and some beautiful, but mostly the latter, roamed at will amid the glades of our , t. i . mi . ill: , years or so, man came. " , , "Man?" I repeated incredulously. "Yes, man, " he reiterated rather testily. "Man, of course. Do you think your earth alone has been the home of man? I tell yon he lived and flourished here while the earth waa yet formless and void, a vast white hot mass of semi fluid granite. At first he was weak for lack of 'knowledge, and fought often unHuooessfully with the wild beasts of the forests for food and drink and rai ment. Then as he grew older he grew wiser and carved for himself weapons of flint and wood, just as the earth man did a million or two years afterward. Our lunar men were very clever, too very clever. ,. Not so large or so strong as terrestrial man, perhaps, bat quicker to learn. Why, it did not take us more than 200,000 years to perfeot onr'oivili eation. " ' ; . . i "And what happened then?" was my next query. '''.' ' "Ah, there yon have asked a question hard to answer," qnotb the old man sadly. "All I know 'is that one year there came a blight over all things. It waa not exaotly a plague. It was rather a want of vitality in the atmosphere that reacted with terrible effect on all animate nature.' Man, being the most highly organized of all things living, maa r.hn first trt fpfil its harmful nffpnt.a. . and he dwindled and pined and finally perished, and the places that had been Wont to know him knew him no more forever. . . . : "Then aa the sunny atmosphere grew more and more attenuated the mam mals first and afterward every form of animal life grew cold and dead. The ; lowest'forms of plant life lingered for a few thousand years longer, until the last drop of water had evaporated into spaoe,' in faot, and then they, too, van ished, and the moon was left aa yon see it today, a dead world, without heat, mmrn atmosphere or moisture. " "A sad fate surely, but you must havo become resigned, "1 said soothing ly, for the old man was sighing heavily and gazing fixedly into spaoe as though be saw again the lost visions of lone livers he had been describing. "No, I am not resigned, " and h shook his head slowly from side to side. "Both myself and my sister look for ward to better times to come." "Your sister?" I exclaimed wonder Ingly. "I was not aware" ' . "Thai I had a sister?" he interrupted. "Oh, yes, I have, butlforgotl Of course yon have nsver seen ber. She lives on the side of the moon opposite to the earth, amid mountains and valleys, up on whose bold outlines no earthly eye has ever gazed. ' It is by far the best side of the moon, too, but she is getting rather tired of living there and talks about changing places with me. I ex pent you would be rather surprised down below there if some fine day or night, rather you found a woman in the moon instead of a man. Ha, ha, ha!" and for getful of his recent fit of the blues the old chap gave vent to a hearty guffaw. "We should indeed," I replied, laughing in my turn, "although I fancy, unless your sister's appearance differs in a marked degree from your own, that we should scarcely be able to distin guish the difference. , You most admit yourself that one must possess good eye Bight to tell a man from a woman 240, 00 miles away." '"Oh, but," answered the old man, with a tonch of family pride, "she is a fine woman 1 Not bent and bowed with age like me. Indeed she is really 6, 000, 000 years younger than am I. Then, of oourse, Bhe dresses in in" "The habiliments suitable to her sex, " I ventured to say. "Precisely, and, like all the women here, is fond of dress. Why, when I last visited her, some 25,000 years ago, al most her first question was, 'How do the women dress now on the earth?' Of course there wasn't much to tell her be cause well, the women of that day didn't trouble themselves much about dress, but I am thinking of paying her another visit soon, and then I shall have 8j different budget of news for her. " "But tell me," I interrupted, fori was not much interested in the old fel low's sister, "something about the earth. ' You must have seen almost as great ohanges in the earth aa. in the' moon." ' ''- "Almost," waa the answer, "but not quite. My world is cold and dead. Yours is still alive, as waa mine once, but your turn will come some day, and then wo shall both go oiroling through space, cold, silent and lifeless. But that, " be continued, "will be many millons of years from now, almost as many millions as it is since I first set eyes on your planet Then, as I said be fore, it was a mere mass of molten mat ter a vast white hot ball whirling round the sun and carrying me with it 1 remember as though it were yesterday the first beginning of earthly life. At first the seas covered everything, and beautiful specimens of marine; flora floated everywhere upon the surface of the water, while in its translucent depths fishes of strange form and glo rious ooloring disported themselves. Then the dry land began to appear, and by slow degrees the great forests that shrouded as with a mantle all the earth not oovered by the waters. For millions of years what you are pleased to call the lower animals were the only deni zens of their somber depths, and even after man came it was hundreds of thousands of years before he even par tially dominated the face of nature." "But was there not, " I asked, "an ioeage?" . "A what?" he exclaimed, with a puz zled expression of countenance. "An ice age," I repeated. "A period of time when the ice, whloh, as yon are aware, is always present at the poles, spread northward and southward until it enveloped almost the entire globe." "Oh, yes," responded mine host, with the air of a man trying to recall some long forgotten and altogether triv ial incident "I believe something of the kind did happen, and not more than 100,000 or 150,000 years ago either. But it only lasted about 20,000 years, and I had quite forgotten all about it until you mentioned it " - This oonoluded the interview, for although I would have liked to have pursued my inquiries further the old chap suddenly snatched up his bundle, bent his back and resumed hia orthodox position, at the same time indicating by a gesture that he was' not inolined for any further conversation. "We are right over Greenwich observatory," he ex plained in answer to my look of sur prise, "and I don't want the astrono mers there to see me without my bun dle and talking to a stranger too. It isn't respeotable. " London Amusing Jour nal. '' A Memorial to Her Pet.

The Monotheists were so called be cause of their belief in one God and but one. The Franciscans, or Gray Friars, took their name from St Francis, the found er of the order. The Church of England was so called because its jurisdiction did not extend outside of that kingdom. The Plymouth Brethren, a sect found ed in 1880, was named from the city where their organization was effected. The Covenanters were so called be cause they formed a solemn league and covenant against the designs of Charles L The Bernardines wer8 so named from St Bernard,, who founded the famous hospice in the Alpine pass which bears his name, about 962. ' The Armimans took their name from their leader,1 Arminius, born in 1566, died in 1609. Their doctrines are still held by several Methodist bodies. The Pantheist takes his name from two Greek words, practically signifying God every where. The Pantheist sees in everything a manifestation of deity.' The Saoramentarians were so called because one of their chief doctrines was the denial of, the real presence of the body of Christ in the consecrated bread. The Dominicans, or Black Friars, were organized by St. Dominic to oppose the teaching and doctrines of the Albi genses. They were called Black Friars on account of the color of their habits. The Lutherans took their name from Martin Luther, who waa born in 1488 and died in 1546. At first the name was used as a term of ridicule, but was adopted by those to whom it was applied and soon became a serious designation. St. Louis Globe-Democrat THE FASHION PLATE.

Brain Workers, People Who Worry and People Who Kndure Long Continued Physical Strain. From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal. . It is generally agreed that a man' physical condition is dependent, to a great degree, upon the nature of his employment. Men whose occupations necessitate the constant use of the, brain, without any opportunity for physioal exercise, are generally nervous,' while men employed at manual labor requir ing no exercise of the brain funotion, are almost universally possessed of sound nervous systems, not easily dis-' turbed by exciting events. A striking illustration of this prin ciple is found in the case of Professor George E. Coleman, who is a profes sional pianist, and who was, until within reoent years, a druggist. Pro fessor Coleman lives at 1830 Buchanan street, San Francisco. He is well known here as a pianist, having played in some of the most popular musio halls in the city. , Mr. Coleman is not a man of strong frame, and he has been an easy prey to the severe nervous ten sion of his work at the piano. . He has had to play continuously for several hours during every evening for five years, and his nervous system finally gave way under the strain. He was forced to retire from regular work at the piano, but that did not have the effeot of improving his oondition. Upon 'the contrary, he steadily grew worse. His nerves had been shattered, and in addition he discovered that one of bis lungs had been affected by his having been exposed to counter draughts in poorly ventilated halls. His oondition soon became such that he was confined to his home, and fin ally gave himself over to the care of a physician. Mr. Coleman's experience as a druggist had given him an ac quaintance with diseases and their remedies, so he had a full knowledge of just what was necessary on his part to affect a cure. "After several weeks' careful treat ment by a physician," said Mr. Cole-, man, "I could notice no improvement in my oondition. If anything, I think I was considerably worse. The action of my lungs had beoome so weak that I was afraid to walk any distanoe un assisted for fear of falling, through loss of respiration. My nervousness had advanced to an alarming stage. I was not able to contain myself for even a short time, but had always to b fumbling' with something or moving nervously about the room. It was while I was in .this condition that I no ticed in a paper an article on Will iams' Pink Pills. I determined to try them, even though they . killed me. Well, they didn't kill me, but I'm not going to tell you that they cured me immediately, my case was much too serious for that. But I had not taken a full box before I felt a great relief. My respiration was more certain, I was gradually gaining oontrol of my nerves, and my oondition was generally im proved. : I kept right on taking the pills and - getting well. Now I had taken just three boxes of them when I considered myself a cured man. And I was right, for although I quit taking the pills, I did not relapse into my for mer oondition, but grew stronger daily. . '.'It was truly a marvelous cure, and I will say that I think Williams' Pills possess remarkable curative properties, and I would recommend them to the use of the thousands of people of this oity who are nervous wrecks, or who are suffering from diseases of the lungs." - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to'the publio as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms. of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (50 oents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

To rearon from cause to effect is very good logic in its way. but to practice on physical conditions in seeking the cause first, is a very slow process indeed. All ailments seem to give an expression in pain, aDd especially in rheumatism where it takes hold deeply. This is an effect, whatever the cause may be, and pain would become intolerable, if one waited to find out the cause. Hence sufferers are bent on curing the pain promptly, and for this reason know, or soon find out that St. Jaoobs Oil is surely the best remedy. People seldom have reason to hunt further, for once this ailment is cured by it, i stays cured, and thus puts an end to argument and pain at once. . NEW WAT BAST MO DCST.
