A CURE FOR POV 1337117 '
.{ BY BERTHA voonn.
I 0-37" _———-__-
Once upon a time, in the Ardennes.
there was a laborer who earned so!
very little that he could scarcely sup- l
port his seven children. The poor!
man did not always have work; and,
when he was idle, his children had to
go hungry, and their tears grieved him
very much. 4 I
“Ah,” said he very frequently to
himself,‘ how wretchedl am! If sick-
ness overtakes me, or if 1.1 ork does not
come, my poor childien will all die of
hunger.” Oppressed by his thought,
he sat down one day by the roadside,
his head resting in his hands. A phy-
sician of the market—town chanced to
pass,—-a man charitable as he we‘fs rich.
He saw the poor man, and, fearing that
he was ill, he stopped and said: “What
is the matter, my good follow? You
seem to suffer.”-
Thus encouraged, the unfortunate
man confided all his story to the good
doctor, who said, “Ah, yes; if one does
not kill grief, then grief itself will kill.
Come with me. and I will give you a
remedy.”
Accordingly the poor man accom-
panied the physician to his home,
where, in a study filled with books, the
doctor took up a crystal globe.
“Look,” said he to the workman,
“here is an ingot of gold which my fa-
ther bequeathed to me. My father was
,very poor, but in spite of his poverty
he saved a son each day, and at the
end of fifty years he had a little for-
tune. I, too, was very poor when my
father died, leaving me this ingot, but
by dint Of toil and economy I have
made my fortune. I have never broken
into the ingot, but the thought that it
was there gave me courage. Now my
future is assured, I no longer fear want
and poverty, so I am going to give it
to you. ‘I hope that you will not have
to make use of it, but that the pos-
session of the little treasure will put
your soul at rest."
The poor man accepted the ingot
with a thousand thanks, and with a
light heart he hastened to his hovel to
show it to his wife.
“Now we can sleep without fearing
the morrow,” said he, “and if I do not
find work to-day, my children will not
go to bed fasting."
Nevertheless, he decided not to
break into the treasure unless it be-
came absolutely necessary, and went to
bury it in the cellar before going out
again. to look for work.
His frank and beaming countenance
attracted the attention of a farmer,
who at once employed him, and, as he
did his best for his employer, he re-
ceived good wages, and was engaged to
return the next day. The earnings of
each day were sufficient for the fam-
ily needs, and his wife, who no longer
spent her time weeping, cultivated the
little garden, sold her products, and,
rivaling the doctor’s father, laid aside .
a sou each day.
From time to time, as work was un-
steady, it became necessary to break
into the mother’s little savings, but the
ingot. of gold remained untouched in
the cellar, for the man had remained
resolute and had vowed that only the
last extremity would induce him to
touch it.
Thus the years passed on; the chil-
dren grew .to manhood, and, following
the exampleof then-parents, were hap-
py and industrious.- They soon began
to gain, and were shortly independent,
1 so that the laborer and his wife became
richer day by day, and whe they were
old they had need of nothing. .
One day a poor beggar knocked at
the door, and, in reply to their ques-
tions, he. told them of his many mis-
fortunes. The workman then told in
return his own story, and said at last,
“I have no need of the ingot of gold.
See, I have saved so much that I am
beyond want and care. Let me give
you this treasure, and I hope that it
will bring good luck also to you.”
After speaking thus to the beggar,
he went to dig up the treasure, and,
returning, gave it to the beggar. The
latter, who had received a very good
education in his youth, examined the
ingot and said: “This is not gold, it is
brass!”
The wife would not believe it,—— rub-
bed it vigorously to show how bright-
ly itshone, and in doing so perceived
that it bore some writing. Neither she
nor her husband knew how to read, so
they asked the bog, ar to explain what
the letters signified.
The beggar then read as follows:—
.: “IT IS LESS 'PRIVATION
THAN FEAR OF THE MOR-
ROW WHICH CAUSES THE
MISFORTU-NES OF THE POOR.
G0, THEN, BOLDLY AND :
WITHOUT FEAR, UPON THE :
ROAD OF LIFE." :
—Success.
Wifely Cousclonce in Arabia.
When an Arab woman is tired of
widowhood and desires to marry again.
she goes the night before the wedding
to her husband’s tomb and prays him
not 'to be offended. To make quite
sure of his forgiveness she brings with
her two large goatskins filled with wa-
ter and with these sh'e waters the grave
that the refreshing liquid may soak
down to the defunct husband’s bones.
Having thus done all she can to pro-
pitiate his spirit she goes off with a
good courage to start life again as a
wife.

Look.
To pick up a. horseshoe is said to be
lucky, more especially if the front is
towards you.
To find a stone with a hole through it
is also considered good luck.
Black cats are said to bring luck to
the house they stray into.
A mole on the side of the throat is
good luck.
The tingling of the right ear is lucky,
while the right eye itching is a lucky
omen. '
If the right hand itches it is said to
mean money. '
When the front teeth are Set wide
apart it is a sign of luck and that you
will travel.
It is a very prevalent idea that those
having much hair on their arms are
“born to be rich. "
If the right cheek burns some one is
speaking well of you.
Long joints denote generosity.
To sit cross-legged is said to bring
luck.
When the big toe is joined or partly
joined to the next one, as it sometimes
is, it is said to denote luck.
To turn your apron before the new
moon is to ensure goo-'1 luck for the
ensuing month.
An emerald ring is said to ensure
purity of thought.
The Romans used to say that if light-
ning shot from the East and returned
to the same quarter, after making a
circuit of the sky, it was a. favorable
sign.
Swallows bring good luck when they
built in the corner of your house.
.To wear your boots at the heel is‘
good luck, as it indicates that you will
save a great deal of money.
Dainty Pincnshion.
This is a good shape for an emery
cushion, which is useful to keep needles
free from rust, if their owners have
damp hands. A square of about five
inches must be lined with strong and
closely-made calico, into which the em-
ery powder is tied. The corners must
-m-..
_-fi._‘
be cut off, and the top lined with silk
of a. contrasting color, and arranged to
look like the petals of a flower. A
little piece of silk worked with black
silk to look like the interior of a poppy,
finishes the cushion.
The Idea! Hestess.
She must make you feel individually
that you are the favored guest.
She must make you feel perfectly at
home.
She must see everything, and yet
possess the art of seeming to see noth-
lng.
She must never look bored.
She must know how to get congenial
peOple together.
She must know how to keep conver-
sation always going.
She must never let anyone be slight-
ed or overlooked.
She must know when to ask the am-
ateur musician to display his or her
talents. .
She must be perfectly unselfish about
her own pleasures.
She must remember that nothing is
so tiresome, so surely death to all en-
joyment, as the feeling that one. is
being entertained.
Stockings.
Stockings should always be taken in-
to consideration. It is a great tempta-
for evening use. During the day pock-
et your vanity. and submit to protect-
ing the feet from the cold by wearing
tion to wear thin ones at all times,
e—sfiinally if they are embroidered, for
they look so much nattier and pret-
tier; but, my dear friends, keep these
warm woolen stockings or thick ones
of some description. In the evening
the rooms are so much warmer than
in the daytime that there is not the
same likelihood of cold being taken
then, and to wear thick stockings in
the evening might make one feel un-
zomfortably warm. If unable to drive
to evening entertainments, and neces-
sity compels going on foot, something
warm, such as gaiters should be worn,
which will preventany chilliness from
the night air being felt.
New Spring Coats.
The new spring coats are very jaunty
1nd varied enough in style to suit every
figure. They are close fitting in the
oack with loose box fronts or open
with revers turning back, which are of
satin covered closely with braid in
straight rows. There are strapped
seams and plain seams and coats with
belts, and the prettiest linings are of
liberty satin.
Plaid Popn'tnr in All Materials.
Plaids now appear in ginghams and
claim a share of the popularity given
to the same designs shown in wool and
silk goods. Some pretty patterns are
seen also in organdies and lawns, and
in delicate tints of the same color' as
well as in the real tartan.
"I 'see the critics, almost to a man.
are praising Pensmith’s latest back.”
“—Then they must regard him as being
too weak to be in any danger of get-
ting to the top by their help.”——Cleve-
land Leader. .
