We're q Boy Again.

Let me tell you, my young friend, some
of the things | would do if [ were hoy
again; some of she too often neglected acts
| would strive to accomplish if it were in
nv power to begin all over anew.
If were Bby again, would have u
bnnk-hook in which | would record, be-
fore going TO bed, every days events Just
as they happened to me personally II L
began by writing only two lines day in
my diary, would start my little hook,
and faithfully put down what happened to
interest me.
On its pages l would note down the hab-
its of birds and animals rs | saw them,
and if the horse fell i'll. down should go
his malady in my book, and what cured
him should 90 there too. If the Cut or
dog showed any peculiar traits, they
should all be chronicled in my diary, and
nothing worth recording should escape
me.
There are hundreds Of things | would
correct in my life if were II boy again.
and among them is this especial one: |
would be more careful of my teeth. See

Toothache in our country is one of the
national crimes. Halfthe people we meet

FLOATING GARpENs.--In the beautiful
valley of Cashmere, among the IlimAlnyan
Mountains, lies - lovely lake called Dial
Floating about on its surface, sometimes
carried from one end of the lake te the
other, are numerous small Islands, on
which grow the fairest cucumbers and
most lu"scious melons known. The way
in which these floating gardens are made
is very curious. All about the main shores
Of the lake grow quantities of reeds scdges
and water lilies. When these grow very
thickIy together, people cut them from
Ihe roots which hold them near the shore
The leaves of the plants are then spread
out over the stems, making IL sort of tres
tle-work TO support the soil with which it
is next to be covered AT er this has been
done, the seeds are planted and the float
ing garden is left to care for itself, until
the fruits are ready for picking,-&, Njcho-

four tones or lows. First, there is her

of her calf, or separated from her mates
her low of affection. Then there is her
call Of hunger, petition for food, some
times full Of Impotence, or her answer to
the farmers clll. full of eagerness. Then
there is that peculiar frenziod bawl she
utlcrs on smelling blood. which causes
every member of the herd to lift its head
and hasten to the spot-the native cry Of
the clan. When she is gored or is in great
danger she bawls also, but that is differ

be some object that you have been in the

of rye on one card. oats on another. wheat
on another, barley on another, bnrEwheal
on anot er, all picked and labeled by her
self ut various times, and you've no idea
what II sensation they made. Little friends
and big were glad enough to take mp the
cards and study out the exact difference
between them. Many said that they noted
the distinctive features of the various
grains for the first time. A little boy who
went to the sea idle brought home cards
with many pretty shells gummed upon
hem, one OF two shells to II card. He had
to look in work on eonchoIogy before he
could name his specimens. His sister
made II fine sci of pressed leaf cards-ma-
pie, oak, cherry, apple, sycamore, elm,
beech, and so on, till she had over hun
drrd, representing us many different kinds
of tree. One boy had Il set of of butterfly
cards, another of beetles; but didn't
quite approve of them. One girl had sets

Disappointed

Some days ago the police of Davenport
pulled" two gambling dens in that city,
and two Of the city papers published long
list of fictitious names Of the boys who
were caught, and what is more they knew
the names were fictitious. Everybody ex-
pected the Davenport Times would publish
the genuine names, and there was much
uneasiness over the matter among some of
the nice people in Davenport. The Times
disappoints these, people and SHES a brick
at the other gamblers of the city, which
hits more than one, as follows:
As far as the raid on the two gambling
houses is concerned it is only drop in the
bucket, and has not done particle of good
without tie business is followed up with
out fear or favor. In this little affair
much bad blood has been let out and bit
ter feelings created There are much
worse gambling houses in Daveuport than
those two. The high-toned gambling
houses. where the bon ton, the high off,
Gals, the legal gentry congregate, are the
ones the Times would go for if for any.
Morally we think it no s7orse to go into a
room kept on purpose for gambling and
stake your money, than it is TO gamble at
church fairs, or to gamble over politics,
options, or anything else. Almost
everything and everybody is of gambling
nature Our sanity religious politicians
are actually the worst gamblers we have.
Let some overly wise person tell us where
to draw the hne, and we can tighten it to
vibration, but this censuring and perse-
cutting one or two, and the patting on the
back the high-toned, the l1a0 and gospel,
the worst pills" in the business, is no part
of the Times policy, and We certainly will
not be made tool ofin this matter
1t is not for moment to be supposed
the police Of Davenport know that there
are several more gambling dens in that
city similar to the two they did pull. Why
did they not take them as weIl2 Perhaps,
as the Times says. it was due to bad blood.

Tramps on a Rampage.

Near midnight, Saturday night, gang
of ten tramps appeared at the remains Of
the C. r. l, & P. bridge, between Bureau
and Tiskllwa, and when the Waterman
accosted them, they pitched into him in a
savage style. He seized a club and fought
his way through the gang, but could not
get away from them until after his cloth
ing was nearly all torn from his person
and then he ran to Tiskilwa, four or five
miles distant, for help, When parties ar
rived with him at the bridge, the gang was
absent, and nothing had been disturbed.
The tramps had some scheme on hand,
but were probably disappointed in the
chances for plumber.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.-Buchu in
various forms has for many years been one
OF the chief articles in the Mate1la MedscQ
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive, and circulatory or
gans. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining a preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction Of
Helmbold's Extract Of Buchu, which for
the last quarter Of century has been ex--
tensively used both BY physicians and in
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi-
tated, and those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the genuine
"Helmbold Buchu," the only pure and
reliable preparation.
