AN. old fisherman states that if a
man wants to catch fish whenever he
visits the river, let him not pick
out the full moon to do it in. lie
gives philosophical reason for this
advice which is as follows: When
the moon is full the nights being
bright, enable the fish to do all their
foragipg In the night time. OF course
having their wants supplied, they lie
up all day, and consequently there is
a scarcity Of bites n Under a new
moon season, the fish have to sleep all
night and work by day; that makes
the difference in the fish string,

The ADVANTAGE OF A PURE LIFE
If you look into the early years of
truly helpful men, those who make
like easier or nobler to those who
como after them, you will almost in
variably find that they lived purely in
the days of their youth. In early life
the brain, though abounding in vigor,
is sensitive and very susceptible to in
.jury-and this to such degree that
/. a comparatively brief and moderate
Indulgence in vicious pleasures ap-
pears to lower the tone and impair
both the delicacy and efficiency of the
brain fol life. This is not preaching,
boys-it is the simple truth of science.

THEY have been three years boring
an artesian we'll near st. Louis. The
depth reached is 1892 feet, or only
13S feet less than three-fourths of a
mile. But no pure water has been
reached at that depth, and it is now
proposed to plug the hole mp and lose
S66, 900, the cost so far. The boring
was done at the rate of about thirty
feet per month. The artesian well at
Grenoble, in France, is one of the
most famous in the world, and was
begun in 1888, with the. expectation of
reaching water at depth of not more
than twelve or fifteen hundred feet
In 1S41, at depth of ], ,793 feet, water
was at last found, and has flowed ever
since at the rate of five hundred thou
sand gallons in twenty-four hours
There are numerous wells in other
parts of Europe and also in this coun-
try, but the deepest one in the world,
except that now under consideration,
is at a sugar refinery at St. Louis, be-
gun in> the spring of 1910, and con-
tinued until 1854, when the work
stopped at the depth of 2,199 feet
The supply of water procured is COM
parativelY small in quantity, and
strongly iinpregnated with sulphur.

A BLIND horse wandered into White
river, at Indianapolis, and getting be-
yond his depth, swan around in u cir
cle to find his way out. His distress
attracted another horse not far away
from the bank, who first went to the
waters edge and tried to direct tho
blind horse by neighing. Failing in
this, he took to the water and swarm
out to his relief, and after swimming
around him for nearly quarter of an
he finally got the blind horse to
understand in what direction the land
lay, and the two horses came to tho
shore side by side, amid the cheers of
upwards of one hundred persons, who
had become spectators. Had the
"spectators gone to the relief Of the
noble animals, they too would have
been worthy of cheers; as it was, the
horses alone deserved such tribute

Violet Time.

Violet time Is come again;
Once more laughing through the rain
Spring with sunny crown advances,
Sunshine glittering on his lances,
Long live spring!-the rainbow arcf
Greets his coronation march;
Green his banners, free and brave,
From each tree top rustling wave.
Birds before him fly in crowds;
Fast above him float the clouds;
Swifter run rejoicing rivers;
Sunbeam darts are in his quivers
Where he treads, primroses rise,
And the daisies ope their eyes;
Black birds sing in every bush,
Answering the merry thrush
Swallows are his heralds feet,
Faster than the pulses beat;
Butterflies between the showers,
Tell the glad news to the flowers
Our old monarch, Winters dead;
His Drown is on another head;
Sunbeams chase the envious rain
Violet time is come again.
