"Do You Rememberg 20

If you listened to their talk as they faltered
in their walk,
In the moonlight on the terrace, he and
she,
You would marvel much to hear,
This" Do you remember, dearln
Till almost smiled outright for sympat by
Remember this or that; remember how they
sat,
Or danced, or talked, or quarreled-who
shall say
1t was still the self-same thing
Old beads threaded on the string
OF the memories that came OF yesterday.
Not the yesterday just done; but the one that
they begun
When they woke the drelmy shadows up
again;
They forget their silver hair;
They forget the chill night air;
They forget the years that wrought theil
parting pain.
They are back again, see, in their lovers
Arcade,
When the world was young and trusting
speed the tale!
For the heart of love beats on
When the fire of youth is gone,
And the leaves OF autumn rustic down the
gale.

In q Whales Mouth.

A Nantucket correspondent of the In
dianapolis Journal tells this story: Here
met Captain Wood, VINO had been in
whales mouth. After edging carefully
toward the matter. friend induced him
TO tell about it-probably for the ten
thousandth time.
Eyes, / was standing in the bow OF
the boat, with the iron in my hand, "
laid he, ''looking around for his maj
esty, for l thought we had given him bis
death-blow. Suddenly Up he came right
ahead OF me, and be struck the boat un-
derneath with his prolonged lower Jaw,
knocking it out from under me, and 1
fell straight over into his mouth"
What did you think thenP" asked q
listener, as the captain paused.
Thought 1 was a goner," answered
the captain, especially when he shut
his mouth on me- But he was fortu-
nately in the agonies of death, too wor-
ried to think Of me, and after giving me
one savage crunch, he bloWed me out OF
his mouth, covered with blood. l Mt
once struck out for the boat.
"And when they picked him up they
thought he WIS killed." said another
captain; though after O. good while,
he recovered, with the ugly wounds
that you see." There was a scar some
inches long across Captain Woods scalp
and great lump on his side was visible
under his coat.
What did you think when you were
in his mouth, and knew where you
were7" asked another bystander.
Thought he'd yield about eight bar

his quid and calmly firing at the box 81

Cultivating Ants.

Many of the leading orchard proprie-
tors in Northern Italy and Southern
Germany are cultivators of the common
black ant. which insect they hold in
high esteem as the fruit-grower's best
friend. They establish ant hills in
their orchards, and leave the police SER
vice of their fruit trees entirely to the
tiny colonists, which pass all their time
in climbing up the stems of the fruit
trees, cleansing their boughs and leaves
of malefactors, mature as well as em
bryotic, and descending laden with
spoils to the ground, where they COM
fortably consume or prudently store
away their booty. They never meddle
with sound fruit, but only invade such
apples, pears and plums as have already
been penetrated by the canker, which
they remorselessly pursue to its fast
nesses within the very heart of the fruit.
Nowhere are the apple or pear trees so
free from blight and destructive insects
as in the immediate neighborhood of a
large ant hill five or six years old. The
favorite food OF ants would appear to be
the larya and pup@ Of those creatures
which spend the whole OF their brief
existences in devouring tho tender
shoots and juvenile leaves of fruit trees.

AM Astonished Farmer.

A farmer who had been to market in
Philadelphia fell asleep while he was
driving home. His horses knew the
road, and travelled safely until they
reached the railroad crossing al Belfry.
A train was approaching. and although
the engineer, who saw the market
wagon, blew his whistle, applied the
brake and rang his bell, he was unable
either to stop tue train or TO arouse the
sleeping farmer. The horses were al
ready across the track when the col
Iision occurred, the cowcatcher Of the
engine striking the wagon, tearing off
the running gear and throwing the hind
axle and wheels about thirty feet to the
side OF the road. One wheel was
wrecked, while the ether was not in
iurec. The wagon was turned upside
down. and the horses, breaking loose,
ran considerable distance before they
were caught. The farmer aw1ke- He
was thrown out but much injured. AZ
he gathered himself up and stared in
bewilderment at the wrecS, his first
exclamation was, What mashed that
wagon up that wayP"

Words OF Encouragement.

Never be cast down by trifes If a
spider breaks his web twenty times,
twenty times will he mend it. Make up
your mind to do thing and you will do
it. Fear not if troubles come upon you.
Keep up your spirits, though the day
may be dark one.
Troubles never last forever,
The darkest day will pass away.
If the sun is going down look up to the
stars; If the earth is dark keep your eye
on heaven. With Gods presence ard
Gods promise, a man or child may be
cheerful.
Never despair when fog's in the air,
A sunshiny morning will come without warn
ing.
Mind what you run after. Never be
content with a bubble that will burst
or q irewood that will end in smoke and
darkness; but that which you can keep,
and which is worth keeping.
Something sterling that will stay,
When gold and silver fly away.

Fish as Food.

During the last twenty years chemists
and physiolOgists have been studying
the nutritious value of various foods.
They have advanced so far as to COM
pute the relative values of the common
articles of diet. These have been SO ar
ranged in tables that the bread winner
of the household may see at q glance
what food will give the most nourish-
ment to his family.
A prominent subject of these studies
has been the common food fishes. At
the recent meeting Of the American AS
sociation of Science, Professor Atwater,
chemist, gave some Of the results of
these experimental studies.
In 100 pounds of the flesh of fresh cod
there are eighty-three pounds of water
and only seventeen pounds of solids. In
the same weight Of salmon there are
sixty-six and one-half pounds of water
and thirty three and one-half pounds of
solids. The mesning of these figures
is that q family eating 100 pounds of
cod would be nourished by one-sixth of
it, while if they fed on the same weight
O. salmon, they would find one-third
nutritious.
Next in nutritive value to salmon
come fat halibut, sha1 and whitefish.
Then follow macKerel, bluefsh. lean
halibut, striped bass, founder and lake
trout. The order in which they are
placed indicates their relative value as
food. Lean beef is less nutritious than
salmon, as it contains seventy-fve per
cent. of water and twenty-five per cent.
OF solids.
While fish is highly nutritious and
healthy, there is somewhat exagger-
ated notion that it is particularly Valu-
able for brain food on account of the
large amount of phosphorus which il
contains. The notion owes some of its
popularity to remark. alleged to have
been made by the late Professor A rassiz
+" When l wish to be very brilliant" be
is reported as saying, 81 eat fish for
dinner"
But Professor Atwater says the notion
is not founded upon fact. While fish Il
excellent. there is no evidence to prove
that the flesh of fish is richer. in phos
phorus taan are other meats. - You NJ

The Golden Sunset.

Tho golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but narrow strip between
Of land and shadow lies.
The cloud-like rocks, the rook-like clouds,
Dissolved in glory, float;
And midway of the radiant flood
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another sky,
The sky sea as well;
And which is earth and which the heavens,
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for Us life's evening hour,
Soft passing shall descend,
May glory born Of earth and heaven
The earth and heavens blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit float,
With silent rapture glow,
Till where earth ends and heavens begins
The soul shall scarcely know!

whilst its figures may be somewhat, too large, ye,
il conveys the proper idea Of how the expense Is

would be in giving Justices Of the Peace the au-
