Seth Green on Fish.

81 have made some most interesting
studies of nature in the morning." said
Seth Green. THAT is the time to see the
insects at their beSt-tO see the mad wasp
singing the spiders without killing
them, and packing them away where
they are kept alive for weeks to be used
when needed. have seen small green
worm hanging down on web. An ant
stationed on the limb above, pulls up
the web and. just as the worm comes
within reach of his tiny claws, down
drops Mr.. Worm. The ant pulls up again
and again, and worm lets out another
reef and goes down. This sort of thing
continues until finally the ant grapples
the worm and both go down together in
grand scramble, in which the worm
manages to shake off the ant. This
leaves the worm on the ground. His
web is so strong that the other end is
still fastened to the limb above. What
does Mr.. Ant do? Give it up? No sir.

tree, crawl out on the same limb and go
Then after another battle have known

away.
''why, talk about reasoning powers?
The perseverance and instinct Of these
little creatures is wonderful. People go
out to fish. They splash around, stand
up in the boat and. drop their lines
three feet away and wonder why they
don't catch trout. They forget that
trout can see. Fish learn the tackle
and fish are. as rule local in their hab-
itatiOns. There are not as many gyp-
sizes among fish as among men. Any
man who will take the pains to study
fish-Or who may remember 1.-THE of
what he reads about them--can catch
them. They are smart, but our brains
will beat them. | remember once of
fishing for salmon trout for long time
without taking anything. Finally /
concluded to get down and look into the
water, and so throwing my coat over
my head l got the required shade and
peered down. The salmon would sail
up and look at the minnOw. Then, with
a quick dart. he would close his teeth
around One-half the minnOw and open
them again like flash. He did not at
tempt to eat the minnOw, and half of
the severed body would drop to the bot
tom. When it had fallen to the bed of
the lake the salmon would go down leis-
urely and eat it. The next time when /
dropped my hook and felt the quick bite
of the trout / let out enough line to send
the hook to the bottom, and the result
was that when the salmon went down
for his meal, he was fooled and | had
him."

difficulty was found in inducing men TO
use those despised tools, the mattOck,
pick, and the shovel.
And now please let me ask your atten-
ton one minute to another branch of
this same subject. namely: Sidewalks
on our common roads. Don't start; don't
mean plank or stone, but do mean toll
cradle level grade, narrowed smooth, and
seeded, ten or twelve feet wide on each
side of the rOad-bed, which should not be
less than 20 feet wide, made and kept of
just such form that the water shall run
into gutter or water table, which need
be only deep enough to carry the water
off to some natural water course as
quickly as possible. And between this
gutter and the road boundary let US
have this graded strip on each side, set
out with groups of trees not in mOnOtOn-
Gus rows or lines for many reasons, but
rather in groups near to each other.
Please stop and think of the additional
pleasure added to life in the country if
this suggestion were carried out. How
pleasant to take walk along such a
road and how delightful to ride in a
country thus provided with shade and a
strip of lawn, beautiful to the eye, sOOth-
ing to the mind, and easy to the feet
of the tired wayfarer. Less COM
plant of country boys longing for city
or village life would be heard if all was
done that could be to make country life
more social and c0ngenial. Remember
men are gregariOus in their natures,
and their instincts run to good fellow
ship and L know of nothing better calcu-
lated to make close friends of distant
neighbOrs than easy access by good and
pleasant roads

Hard Work.

This is what some great persOns'have to
say upon hard wOrk:"What is your secret
of SUGGEST" asked lady of Turner the
distinguished painter. He replied have
no secret, madam but hard work. Said
DIR. Arnold: "The difference between one
boy and another is not so much i'm talent
as in energy" Nothing" said Reynolds,
lis denied well-lirccted labor and moth
ing to be attained without it. Excel
lence in any department" said johnson,
can be obtained only in the labor of a
lifetime; aud it is'nOt to be purchased
at lesser price," There is but one
method" said Sidney Smith, and that is
hard labor; and a man that will not pay
that price for distinction had better de-
vote himself to the pursuit of the fox"
"Step by STEP" reads the French prOverb,
zone goes, very far Nothing" said
Miradeau, is impossible to the man that
can will. Is that necessary Then it
shall be. This Is the only law of success.
"Have you ever entered a cottage, ever
travled in coach, ever talked with a
peasant in the field, or lOitered with a
mechanic at the loom ?" asked Sir Edward
Bulwer-LyttOn, and found that each of
those men had talent that you had not,
knew something that you did not? The
most useless creature that ever yawned
at club, or counted the vermin on rags,
under the sun Of Calabria, has no excuse
for want of intellect. What men want is
not talent but purpose; in other words,
not the power to achieve, but the will to
labor. believe that labor, judiciously
and continuously applied, becomes gen.
ius."

SAD ACCIDENT.
Mr.. Oscar Craigg Blown up by Premature
Blast in the Rosedale Cement Quarry
Destruction Of an Eye-Its Sub
sequent Removal by Sur
gical Operation

Sequent Removal by Sur
gical Operation.
Mr.. Oscar Craigg was forman i'm q cement
quarry at ROsedale, Ulster Co., N. Y. BY an
explosion one day in the quarry he lost an eye
lost it totally. Under the impression that the
matter was less serious the local physician told
Mr. Craigg that his eye was not lost wholly
but could be saved by treatment. The expert
ment was tried and failed. Worse remained
behind, for he was in danger of losing the
other also, through sympathetic inflammation,
In this ztrait he consulted DR.. David Kennedy
of ROndOui, N Y, who told him the injured
eye must be taken out to save the other. This
Mr.. Craigg demurred, and went back home in
doubt. His local physician said: Go to New
York. To New York the patient went, and
one Of the most eminent ocuists in the coun-
try, having looked at the case, said: ''You
have lost one eye entirely; go back and do
what you can to save the other" Briefly DIR.
Kennedy removed the ruined eye and treated
Mr.. Craigg with "Kennedys FavOrite Remedy"
to build up the system, and the result was sue
cessful.
DR.. Kennedy's great success as surgeon is
due to the use Of ''Fayorite Remedy in the af-
ter treatment.

plant, constipation or arrangement of kidneys
and bladder? then use DR.. Kennedys "Favorite

Death OF Mrs. A.P. KeIIsv

Our readers will learn with deep pain
of the death of Mrs A. 2. Kelley, who
departed this life on Saturday evening,
at her home on the Neosho u few miles
north of this city. The deceased lad
been i'll for some weeks with malarial
fever, and this became complicated with
inflammation of the bowels which re-
suited fatally.
Mrs. Kelley was Thoroughly devoted to
the interests of her family, consisting OF
her husband and two children, and il
was in the home circle that her virtues
shone with luster which none apprec.
lated so well as those who knew her in
timately, and appreciated her unswerv.
ing fidelity 10 the duties which come
with each succeeding day and were
by her so patiently and lovingly per.
formed. Her death, in the very noon
day of her life and in the fulIness of he.
helpful powers, is indeed mournful
dispensation to her family, whose Loss
can never he repaired, but whose deer
bereavement may be mitigat, in {
measure by the tender offices of sympa
thiZing friends.
The funeral took place this afternoon
at O'Clock, and the large concourse 0
mourners who followed the remains t.
their last resting place in MaplewOoC
cemetery attestcd the deep hold which
the deceased had upon the affection anC
regard of all who knew her.

as its name implies, was the first of the
regiments offered by Kansas for the de-

the gallant commander. He won great
distinction at the battle of Wilson's
creek, and elsewhere. and was, in No

Tue Financial outcome of the Fair,

The Financial Outcome of the Fair.
The officers of the Lyon County Agri-
cultural society were engaged Mon.
day in paying premiums, and large
amount has been disbursed to those to
whom awards were made in the sew
eral departments. We regret very much
TO learn that the fair was not financial
success, and that the society will come
out about 81 coo behind on the exhibi.
ton. This unfortunate condition of af.
fairs is certainly not due TO any lack of
excellence in the fair itself as the exhi,
bition was one of the beat in
all respects ever made in the
county, The entries in all the
classes were complete and up 10 high
standard of excellence; the speed ring
presented great attractions; the bicycle
tournament was u novelty that elected
great interest, and no effort was spared
by the management to insure the success
of their undertaking. The unfavorablC
weather initiated very seriously against
the enterprise, and it is doubtless due
to this fact that there Is such discrep
ancy between the proceeds of the fail
and the expenses incurred by the So
cieiy.

spEcIAL TAX oUEsTIoN

A number of the citizens of EmpOFia
upon whom u special tax fer street i'm
provcnenls has been assessed, met at
the court house last Monday. pursuant
to n call for euch a gathering. On mo-
ton ID. fhGmas was called tai the chair
and A. r. Bancroft " as elected secretary.
The object of the meeting was stated to
be the obtaining OF fuller information
as TO the manner of the work
doae. the proportion of the
cost if any. which should be
borne by the city fog the i'm
pTovementsin question. and in pursu-
ance of this purpose committee, con
sisiing of Mcssrs. T. Johnson, II. Ma
Ioncy and John Henning, was appointed
to investigate these points.
There was no disposition manifested
by any one present TO repudiato any Just
claim in connection with the improve
menf, but the belief seemed to be gener-
81 that the proPerty-uwlers had been
charged Wilh = portion of the excaya-
ton which sho4ld Eage been
paid by the city, aud the
committee appointed at the meet
ing was authorIzed to determine the ac-
curacy of this conviction.
The result of such an investigation,
We learn, is the discovery of the fact
that the entire cost of excavation has
been charged against the property own.
crs, when all of that portion of the work
above the established grade should have
been met out of the general fund. In the
record Of the proceedings of the city
council for August 2ad, the minutes
show that the city engineer and commit
tee on streets and alleys
were instructed to report to
the city clerk the cost Of excavating be-
low the grade, but through some mis-
understanding the city engineer report
ed the entire cost, and it will now be
necessary to make u neW assess.
men: upon the proper basis,
which will materially lessen
the expense to property own
ers on Commercial street south of Second
avenue, where the greatest amount of
excavatIng Was done. The change on
the avenues east of Commercial will
not be at all considerable and there will
be very little difference in the assessment
on the avenues west of Commercial
street
