Something Needed.

At last a lamp chimney is made which
does not break from draft, dampness, cold
air or heat what blessing Every one OF
our readers has no doubt often lost her or his
temper because, just at the moment when o
lamp was most needed, the last chimney in
the house would break, we therefore advise
everyone to go to d. Gosln and buy the
Dragon brand chimney, ask your grocer for
them as all retail dealers can be supplied at
the China Hall. The price is but a trihe
higher than the common.

In the whole History or Medicine

No preparations has ever performed
such marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide reputation as. AYRE,s CHERRY
PECroRAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. It's long continued
series Of wonderful cures in all climates
has made it universally known as safe
and reliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the foreruh-
ners OF more serious disorders, it acts
speedily and surely, always relieving
suffering, and often saving life. The
protection it affords, by its timely use
in the throat and lung disorders Of
children, makes it an invaluable reme-
ady to be kept always on hand in every
home. No person can afford 10 be
without it, and those who have once
used it never will. From their knowl-
edge of It's composition and effects,
physicians use the CHEERY PEcroRAL
extensively in their practice, and cle>-
gymen recommend it. 1t is absolutely
certain in its remedial effects, and will
always cure where cures are possible.

IF you know the truth that makes men free,
And with skill can bring it to view.
The world is waiting for you, young man,

of sea,
And harvest Of valley and plain,
That Industry, knowledge and Skill can Sc
While Ignorance ,cishes in vain.
To scatter the lightning and harness the storm
Is p,-wer that is welded by few;
IF uOu have the nerve and the skill, young man,
The world is waiting for you.
OF idle ald brainless the world has enough
Who eat what they never have earned;
Who hate the pure stream from the fountain
And wisdom and knowledge have spurned.
But patience and purpose which know no de.
feat,
And genius, like gems bright and true,
Will bless all mankind with their love, life and
The World is waiting for you.
Then awake, o, young man, from the stupor
And prepare for the battle of life;
Be the fire of the forge, or be anvil or sledge-
But iOirl, or go down in the strife!
Can you stand though the world into ruin
should rO~k
Can you conquer with many or few?
Then the world is waiting for you, young man,

"Would you please point out the
train for Porter's Corner?'' said Elsie,
trembli a'I. approaching man who
"Bless you! you're at the wrong sta
ton for that, sissy or hubby. whichever
you be-" said the man, glancing from
the girls dress to the boys cap. :" But
there" added he. IS the brown eyes
filed with tears, "a gravel trains just
going across the city to the Eastern
Depot. Come with me, and III take
you there"
Down the track Elsie rode, perched
on heap of gravel.
81 cal'late you've got q ticket for
Porter's Corner?'' said her companion.
Here was fresh trouble. No ticket
had she, and, what was worse, not q
penny to buy one.
"You don't mean to say you're going
to steal a rider exclaimed the man.
Very likely this was meant for joke,
but Elsie took it for sober earnest. She
had been called tramp last night;
now she was taken for thief. It was
too dreadful. She looked here and
there, if perchance there might be some
way of escape from all this misery, and
suddenly -what?-that boy on
the platform of the Eastern Depot
could it be?
"Joe! Joer' shrieked Elsie.
1t was Joe; a very wretched Joe, q
Joe who had not slept a wink all night,
though he had gone home in vain
hope he might find the missing sister
there.
He saw Elsie. He sprang toward her.
He clambered on the Car almost before
it stopped, He Rugged her, he kissed
her. Boy though he was, he wept great
tears over her. Then he took her by
both shoulders and shook her.
''Oh, you bad girl! Where have you
been? You've frightened mother most
to death. Elsie, Elsie, what made yor
come to Portland2"
''You brought me, Joe," said Elsie,
humbly.
Home they went. those two. At the
Porter's Corner Station they found ev-
cry man and woman of the village, and
to each severally must Elsie tell her
story. Her mother never said word.
She only clasped Elsie tighter and tight
er, while the tears streamed down her
cheeks.
But Joe!-oh, Joe did talking enough
for all. The lofty sentiments that
flowed from the lips of that virtuous
youth were truly refreshing. His own
share in last nights adventures had
quite slipped his mind. He felt called
upon, rs ''the man of the family" to
exhort his sister at length in regard to
her manners and morals.
''And now, Elsie Baker," he ended,
81 hope you see why girls can't do as
boys do. l could have marched for a
week and not been tired. 1 hope
you'll remember this the next time you
want to tag on when I'm going any
where"
And Elsie was actually so tired that
she hadn't the sppirit to answer a word.

The Heart Of q Fish.

THE heart of a fish is a simple chain
of chambers, instead of the complex
quadrilocular organ which circulates
the blood of guadruped; yet it per-
forms the same Office, and performs it
sufficiently well for the fish's needs.
In the same way, the organ of hearing of
a. fish is simple. but it contains all that
is absolutely essential for hearing. viz,
an auditory sacculus, full of fluid, and
containing small bones, or "Oboliths'
Casually two in number, and compare
lively large), and three large semi-cir-
cular canals. All vertebrates above
fishes have oboliths and three semi-cir-
cular canals, but higher animals add
thereto spiral cochlea, tympanum
with its chain of bones to communicate
vibrations, and an external ear. Any
argument against the ability of fish to
hear, based on the simplicity of the
organ of hearing. might equally we'll be
used to prove that fish cannot breathe,
swim nor digest, because the organs it
possesses for these purposes are simpler
than ours, or are built on q slightly
different plan. Sure of the presence
of an organ of hearing, sure also of
certain special adaptations of that
organ in some groups of fishes, we
may be certain that such conclusions as
those commented on are not due to the
tish's want of hearing so much as
mans inability to reason correctly from
insufficient premises. The microphone
has gone far toward proving what phi
losophers had previously become con-
vinced of by deductive reasoning, that
there is no motion without sound, and
therefore that sound is present in num-
beriess instances not evident to our
senses. For our perception of sound
we are dependent upon our sense Of
hearing, which is adapted only to a Ger.
tain range of sounds; and this rang,
differs in human individuals, for we all
know that some other persons hear
sounds that are imperceptible to us.
Still more is this true of other animals;
they may hear what we cannot, yet be
deaf to sounds audible to us. Strict
experiments upon the hearing of fishes
have yet to be made. Most of the OBJ
servations yet made are faulty. either
because, first, the observer has sup
posed that the fish ought. if it can hear,
to notice the sound he makes for the
purpose; or, second, he has argued,
from the standpoint of his own senses,
that if q fish hears, the range of its hear.
ing must he nearly the same as his
own.

nine all the runs they got. There Is another

Their pitcher makes ballt every timo before
he delivers, and IL their opponents should get

TIE Personal TAX.
A Temporary Settlement Proposed by tho
Merchants

Merchants.
The District commissioners and Messrs.
James L. Barbour r. 4. White, w. r. Moses,
Frank Hume aud other prominent merchants,
with their legal adviser, Colonel w. A. Cook,
had a conference yesterday with the District
commissioners regarding the collection of the
personal tax arrearagos. 1t was stated for tho
merchants that while thoy were disposed to
assist the District commissioners aud not TO
einbarass the District government in any way.
they desired to do IL in such way that none
Of their rights should be waived With this
in view, a proposition was submitted to tho
District commissioners, in substance as fol-
lows: Tho merchants agree to pay on ac-
count the net amount OF their personal tax,
requiring corrected estimates and assessments
be made in disputed cases, and leaving all
other questions such as tho payment Of pen
alties, open for future settlement. Tho
proposition docs not include tho pay
mont Of The license tax, as tho NOR
chants are unalerably opposed to pay
ing both taxes, though they appear willing
to compromise on either one. The District
commissioners have tho proposition under con-
sidcration. IL was made, Sc the merchants
say, in order to enable tho District commits
sioners to make partial collection of the tax
without waiting for the settlement of cases in
court.
