THE Goldfish.
Mr.. Nye's Tribute to the Qualities OF This
Wen-Known Character.


Laramie Boomerang. -- @-
This tropical bird very seldom wings his
way so far west ss Wyoming. He loves the
sea breezes and the humid atmosphere of the
Atlantic ocean, and when isolated in this
mountain cline pines for his native home.
The Goldfish cannot sing, but Is priced for
bis beautiful plumage and rare, seductive
odor. ..- -. ... ..rs
The Goldfish of commerce is devoid Of ci-
gestive apparatus and is more or less perme-
sted with salt.
Goldfish on toast is not as expensive Is
quail OH toast. ....-.. . .-..
The Goldfish ball is made Of the shattered
remains of the adult Goldfish mixed with the
tropical Irish potato Of commerce.
The Goldfish has great wealth of glad, un-
f.ttersd smile. When he Laughs at anything
he has the same wide waste of nirth and
back teeth that Mr.. Tslmsge has.
The Wyoming Goldfish is generally dead.
Death in most cases, is the result of expos
ure and loss of appetite. No one On look
at the Goldfish of commerce and net shed
tear. Far from hone, with his system filled
with salt, while his internal economy Is
gone, there Is an air Of sadness and home
sickness aud briny hopeleSness about him
that no one ON see unmoved.
It Is In our home life, however, that the
Goldfish makes himself felt and remembered.
When he enters our household, we feel his
all-psrvading presence, like the perfu ne Of
wood violets or the odor of dead mouse in
the piano.
Friends may visit us and 70 away to bs
forgotten with the advent Of new face, but
the cold, calm, silent corpse of the csdfsh
cannot be forgotten. Its chastened influence
permestss the entire ranch. 1t steals into
the parlor like an unbidden guest and fsvors
the costly curtains and highpriced lambre-
quins. It enters the darkest closets and
dallies lovingly 9Th your swallow-tail cost.
IL goes into your sleeping apartment and
makes Its home In your glove bsx and yosr
handkerchief case.
That is why we say 1t Is solemn thing to
take the life of Goldfish. We would not do
IL. We would pass him by . thousand
times, no matter hog ferocious he might be,
rather than to take his life and have our once
happy home haunted forever by his unholy
presence.

POETRY.
GOOD BYE, PROUD WORLD.
ny RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

Goodbye, proud world! I'm going home;
Thou are not my friend; am not thine
Too long through weary crowds roam -
A river ark on the ocean brine
Too long | am tossed like the driven foam
But now, proud world, I'm going home!
Goodbye to Flattery's fawning face,
To Grandeur with his wise grimace;
To upstart Wealths averted eye,
To supple Office, low and high
To crowded halls, TO court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
TO those who 60 and those who come,
Goodbye, proud world, I'm going home.
go 10 seek my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in yen green hills alone;
A secret lodge IN a pleasant land, ..
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned,
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the backbird's roundelay,
And evil men have never frod
spot that is sacred to thosght and God.
oh, when am safe in my sylvan home,
| mock at the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star o holy shines,
laugh at the lore and pride of man,
At tbr sophist school and the learned clan;
For, what are they all in their high conceit,
When man In the bush with God may meet?

into his face with a tender earnestness that
showed the true womauiiness of her nature;
"it Is better, far better for both Of us that we
should part forever" but rs she spoke the
hot tears of pain welled up into her beauti-
ful brown eyes-those eyes that had witched
with their bright glances and dreamy tender
ness 80 many men--and with little sob of
pain Lilian's head was bowed upon George
w. simpsons shoulders In an ecstacy Of
glief.
"Couldnt you put ten.year limit on

bending gently over the little head that was
pillowed so trustingly just under his left ear;

Tall Men.

The New York doctors having had the
question put to them whether man can add
. cubit 20 his stature, agree that there are
ways by which stature can be affected. Peo-
pie who drink limestone water like the Ken
tuckians and Tennesseeans, who are famous
for being tall, owe 1t to the fact perhaps, that
they absorb 50 much lime which goes TO the
making Of their bones. So oatmeal builds
up the bone and muscle of the Scotch and
makes them tall. DR.. Mott said aFslks
who feed upon good, healthy and simple
food have the best chance for growing to be
tall. Tallness seems sometimes to be =
family trait, and runs along through genera
lion after generation; but, on the other hand
tall children very often grow from short pa-
rents and vice versa. There does not seem
to be any positive rule about II, and / do not
know that there Is any mode Of determining
from the height Of child q any given go

An Ambidcxtrous Surgeon.

In an interesting obituary notice Of DR..
Pancoast, the celebrated surgeon of Phila-
delphia, the Times Of that city says:
The great point in his career was his skill
IS an operator. He was ambidexter, and
could perform operations Of the most deli
cate intricacy with his left hand which were
beyond the skill of others using the right
hand only. It was, In part, the extrasrdin-
ary facility with which he could employ both
hands At enc time which pade him so sue
cessful in the department of plastic surgery.
BY the removal of strips of Aesh from. the
forehead and elsewhere, he has formed no
less than . dozen noses for persons who,
either through accident or disease, were
without them. There Is . woman standing
in the Callowhill Street Market for whom
he made nose twenty two years ago, and
no enc can detect it now from natures own
best handiwork. He was the first to show
that after the eyebrow has been destroyed q
good-looking substitute can be made by rails
ing flap of the scalp with the soft, dropping
hairs Of the temple, and giving it what is
termed long pedicle to run into q bed
cut for 1t in the brow. he also furnished
manned humanity with eyelids and ears. So
far did his fame as an operator extend that
one Of the things which visiting foreigners
marked down as of the greatest interest in
Philadelphia was "to see DR.. Pancoast oper-
ate" HIS hands looked clumsy, but he
could take up = large knife, as on the occa-
sion Of the visit Of the Japanese party some
years ago to see him perform amputation at
the hip joint, and the next moment he could
take the finest needle and operate upon an
eye. He was among the FIRST to resort to the
section of the facial nerve for the relief oi
neuralgia. He was remarkably successful
In operations for cataract, and early improvsd
upon the operation of "couching" by com.
plets extraction. In the treatment Of stra.
bismus, or sqaint, he was in his day unri.
vailed. At the same time, the record Of hi.
larger operations, from lithotony to ampu.
tation at the hip joint, is one Of extr sordin.
ary brilliancy. He was never systematic
and was not at all particular about his selec.
tion Of instrument. On several occasions he
performed difficult operations with An ordin.
ary penknifs, because other instruments were
not at hand.

Six years ago the James bret hers sacked
the express car and "went through" the
passengers on the Chicago, Rock Island, and
Pacific at Gad's Hill, and stole the money
box at the Kansas State Fair. They rode
into Kansas City on horseback, and when
tho cashier vas walking to the bank with the
receipts Of the day, about $4,000, they point
ed their pistols at his head, seized the box,
and galloped on. This was done In broad
daylight, in the midst Of great crowd.
Some time afterward one Of the Kansas
City reporters wrote an article about these
highwaymen, saying some kind things. He
called then brave, and skid they had done
the most daring deed in the highwaymsnps
record. A few nights afterwsrd one Of the
James brothers rode int Kansas City, went

Origin Of Native Gold.


Prof. j. y. Nevberry, has presented some
strong points Of facts and arguments against
the theory that the grains and nuggets "
gold found In placers, are formed BY precip.-
tation from chemical solutions. He holds,
In . paper he has published on tho subject,
that geology teaches In regard to the genesis
and distribution Of gold, that IL exists In ths
oldest known rocks, and has been thence dis
tributed through allstrata derived from them;
that, in tho netansrphosis Of these derived
rocks, Il has been concentrated Into segrs-
gated quartz veins BY some process not Jet
undentesd; that II y constituent Of fs-
sure veins u al geological ages, where Il
has been deposited from hot chemlcsl solu-
tisns, which hare reached deeply buried

HOW QUEEN VICTORIA rs ATTENDED.


An article in, Chambers Journal says:
In the lord chaaberlain's department are
the mistress of the robes, with q salary Of
1000; the groom Of the robes, with fsoo
(and clerk, messenger, and furrier rs
assistants), and eight ladies Of the bedcham-
Der. The duties Of the latter consist in
waiting on her majesty for fortnight at .
time In rotation; thus each lady would be
called on three times year for this duty.
Following these in rank are the eight maids
of honor, who represent very old institu.
tion in connection with royalty. In 1925,
shortly after his marriage with Henrietta, Of
France, Charles l. issued the following rules
for the guidance of the maids Is The queens
maids of honor are to come into the presence
chamber before eleven of the clock, and to
90 to prayer; and after prayers to attend
until the queen be set to dinner. Again, At
two o'clock, to return into the said chamber,
and there to remain until supper time. And
when they shall be retired into their cham
Der, they admit of No man to come there,
and that they 60 not At any time out of the
court without leave asked Of the lsrd cham
berlain or her majesty, and that the mother
Of the maids see all these orders concerning
the maids duly observed, as she will answer
to the contrary" Nowadays, the queens
maids of honor do not have such restrictions
placed OH their liberty, and merely take their
turn, two at time, for one month, to attend
on her majesty. After these in rank stand
the eight bedchamber women, who serve in
rotation In the same manner, and are only
expected to figure on state occasions. Hen
rietts, duchess of Suffolk, In one of her let
ters, gives an interesting account of the du-
ties of these women" in her time. The
bedchamber women came into waiting be-
fore the queens prayers, which was before
she was dressed. The queen often shifted
in q morning. If her majesty shifted at noon,
the bedchamber lady being BY, the bedchan-
Der woman gave the shift to the lady without
any ceremony, and the lady put 1t on. Some
times, likewise, the bedchamber woman gave
the fan to the lady in the Same manner and
this was all that the bedchamber lady did
about the queen when she was dressing.
When the queen washed her hands, the page
Of the back stairs brought and set down on
the side table the basin and ever. Then the
bedchamber weman set it before the queen,
and knelt on the other side of the table over
against the queen, the bedchambsr lady emily
looking on. The bedchamber woman poured
the water out of the ever upon the queens
hands. The bedchamber woman pulled on
the queens gloves when she could not do it
herself. The page Of the back stairs was
called in to put on the queens Shoes" etc.
All this is now obsolete; the situations are
quite honorary, SO far as work Is concerned.
The salaries of the maids Of honor and the
bedchamber women are f3o0 per annum
each.
