They lio in France
Where lilies bloom;
Those flowers pale
That guard each tomb
Are saintly souls
That smiling stand
Close by them i n
That martyred land,
And mutely there the long night shadows creep
From quiet hills to mourn for them who sleep,
While o'er them through the dusk go silently
The grieving clouds that slowly drift to sea,
And lately round them mourned the winter wind
Whose voice, lamenting, sounds so coldly kind
Yet in their faith those waiting hearts abide
The time when turns forever that false tide.
In France they lie
Where lilies bloom,
Those flowers fair
For them made room
Not vainly placed
The crosses stand
Within that brave
And stricken land;
Their b o n o r lives
Their love endures,
Their noble death
The right assures,
For they shall have their hearts' desire
They who, unflinching, braved the tire,
Across tlio fields their eyes at last shall see
Through clouds and mist the hosts of victory.
Percival Allen, in N, Y. Times.

There are many customs ihai come
down from the dark ages eaiing,

HOME, SWEET HUMt.
There Is No Place Like Home
The best of us are like animals
we rush into hotels for shelter.
Home is such against the hard

Margery Bell, ihe Cleveland
girl who ran away, said on her re

how much you want and need
your mother, or your brother, or
your father, until you're away
from them."

human nature; we can never out

weary and the heart sore, and it

back io ihe old home, where love
glows against die world's coldness.
Misfortune lias its recompense
when il turns us back to sel our
lips once more to the spring of
love lhal is pure and undefiled.
Amid joys and successes our
surroundings seem not so near lo
us; they are remote in their unre
ality; their glitter and abundance.
And when sorrow comes il Knds
us sick wiih loneliness, il is then
that in the lowly home of child
hood every table and chair and
picture seems to lake tongue and
call and call, and call to us. And
ihe call comes through ihe dis
tance and through the years like
strains of deep-loved and never-to-be
forgotten music, tilled with mul
titudes of sweet associations lhal
make the heart beat quick.

The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L W. BOWER, M. D.
You can take an onion wod and a nar-v
seed, and plant thwn mIo by side m the
same spat of gn-m. i. in one case, yuu
get an onion, with it j)ecuLiarly striae
odor, and in the other you get a flower of
rare beauty. ou can plant a poppy sued
and set opium (a dangerous, habit-lumimj:
drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed aud
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can ex:l;iiu
thine mysteries of Nature. Behind tho
invisible life girm in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands,
kvervthuui growing out of the ground
soenis inlendod (or some use in estabuxhing
natural couUiUona. Dr. iVfco, ol iiuiTiilo,
iS. V.. long since found out what ts
naturally best for women's demurs. Ho
learned it all through trr atiug thousands
ol ciutes. The result of his studies was a

Ikrosrnption. This medicira is made of
vi gctable growtlis Uiat nature surely in
tendod foroaokaehn, headache, weakens 4,
drains, bearing-down paiua, periodical it
frgularities, pelvic inBsinmationa, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made of lady's slipper ntot,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription they are citing a safe woman's
toojc so good that druggists everywhere
sell it
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
