THE GRADUATE.
BY VIM. W. ATKINSON.

VIM. W. ATKINSON.
Dedicated to Miss Anna Marter, of Edgewate
Park who graduated at the Farnum Preparation,
School on Thursday evening, June 2lst, 1888
They say your school days now are DER
Your days of study done.
But this is wrong entirely, for
Your work has just begun!
The triumphs of the book and slate,
Are in gentle strife.
But now for battles hard and great
Good deeds of active life.
The school has always seemed to me,
A little world alone.
1t has the times ofsocial glee
And sorrows of its own,
But when these happy days are gone
Is closed each studied page
Then we are called to act upon
A more important stage.
o may this evening be to you
A triumph of delight
May loving hands your pathway strew
With fairest flowers tonight!
May angels smile upon the scene.
Of''sweet felicity"
And prompt the graduating queen,
To sometimes think of mel

What Smoking Does for Bows.


A certain doctor, struck with the
large number of boys under fifteen
years of age he observed smoking,
was led to inquire into the effect the
habit had upon the general health,
He took for his purpose thirty-eight,
aged from nine to fifteen, and care
fully examined them. In twenty
seYen he discovered injurious traces
of the pernicious habit. In twenty
two there were various severe disOr-
ders of the circulation and digestion,
palpitatiOD of the heart, and a more
or less taste for strong drink. In
twelve there were frequent bleeding
of the nose, ten had disturbed sleep,
and twelve had slight liberation of
the mucous membrane of the mouth.
which disappeared on ceasing the use
of tobacco for some days. The doc
tor treated them all for weakness, but
with little effect until the smoking
was discontinued, when health and
strength were soon restored. Now
this is no cold Wife's tale" as the
facts are given under the authority
of the British Medical MOnthly.

A Little Mistake.

A pretty young woman in Topeka got an anonymous note the other day, signed "Admirer." The writer protested his ardent affection, and requested the young lady to meet him at a certain corner that night. She handed the note to her mother, who was reused to high pitch of indignation by the fellows pre- sumption, and who proposed to go to the appointed trysting place herself. She was on time clothed in her daughters dress and veil. A fashionably dressed young man was there before her. He was leaning against the fence, and oc- casionally looking down the street, as if expecting somebody. Without wasting any time on preliminaries, the fond mother seized the young man in an un- relenting clutch, and lashed him merci- lessly with "black- k-snake" whip which she drew from the folds of her dress. What might have happened had a police, man not arrived cannot be guessed. Explanations followed, and it was soon made plain that the mother had terribly | whipped an innocent man who had mere ly paused for moment to wait for friend to join him from neighboring drug store
 The real letter writer arrived on the scene
 before the whipping was over, but wisely ! disappeared before the situation wal cleared up.

Through Niagara Whirlpool.

The imitation of the old steamer, Maid of the Mist, was sent through the Whirlpool Rapids below Niagara Falls, Thursday afternoon, in the presence of 10000 spectators. Excursions were run on all the railroads centering at the Falls, both from the States and Canada. There was much criticism on account of the whole affair being turned into an ad- vertising medium. It was said that the scheme was gotten up for the benefit of the hackmen and hotel keepers, but the advertising privileges of the boat were bought by patent medicine dealer of Lockport. The little craft was rigged up to represent the original Maid of the Mist, which was piloted safely through the rapids ill 1861.
 At twenty minutes past 3 p. m., Buf- falo time, the boat was lowed out into the stream and cut loose at about the point where Captain Webb started on his fatal swim. She went swiftly dow1 the stream, and when reaching the rapids was dashed about like small boat ill { rough sea, but kept her course, thougf careening and turning around severa times. She reached the whirlpool Il about three minutes from the time sht struck the rough water. Then sht floated around and gradually worked toward the Canadian shore, remaining in the whirlpool about twenty minutes After reaching the shore she was secured and her flags taken off, after which sh' was pushed out into the stream an( foated down the river some distance when she was taken in tow by some boy
 and tied up at the Lewiston dock.
 l She was in perfect condition, with tn
 exception that two boards on the insid of the wheelhouse were torn off. Tn boat used was an old scow and not yer, strongly constructed. The genera
 opinion was that any boat fairly con structed could pass through the rapid
 without difficulty, but proved nothin as to the power of any adyenturou swimmer to accomplish the perilous feat

The FiShleSs Hudson.

Forest and St1ean1 says We do not know of river it's size in the United States which contains so few non-nigra- tory fish as the Hudson. Its only con- mercial fisheries of any value are those of the shad and striped bass. The former has been sustained by the Fish Commis- sion, or 1t would have been as extinct as the sturgeon fisheries, and the large bass are taken under the ice in brackish water where they go to winter, and are only transient lodgers, not permanent resi- dents. In boyhood days we had what we then considered good fishing about Albany in the river and in the smaller streams emptying in it. That is, we could obtain strings of fish weighing from ten to thirty pounds in days fish ing with hook and line. The fish were perch, eels, sunfish, rock bass, and bull heads, as species of catfish is there called. Thirty years ago we have seer boats anchored ill the channel al the way from Albany to Van Wie's Point, fishing for small striped bass of from half pound to two pounds weight, using sturgeon spawn for bal and taking fair numbers.
 We have no theory to advance as tt the cause of the falling off of the fisheries of this river; we merely state the facts It would seem as if river of this sig should furnish some fishing, but whil the black bass have been in the river fo twenty or thirty years, no one woul' now think of catching one there unles by accident. The Hudson is said b.
 Col. Mcdonald, who gathered the fish cry statistics of our coast rivers for tn
 census of 1880, to exceed all others, eve

OLD-TIME DIVERS.
How Samuel Scott Lost His Life
 Waterloo Bridge.


 Waterloo Bridge.
 In view of the recent tragic death of Captain Webb, the following, published in the London Telegraph, June 10, 1879, may be of interest,"
 "A more appalling leap than was taken successfully in 1929 by Sam Patch has lately been made by Canadian named Harmon Peer, from one of the two sus pension bridges which spans the gulf into which the Niagara falls. At the same time 1t is impossible to deny that American divers have hereto fore prepared us for the possibility of descending with safety into the water from great heights, and there are many still living in this metropolis who can remember the feats performed in 1841 by an American swimmer named Scott, who was in the habit of diving from Waterloo bridge into the Thames-a fall of about 40 feet. Scott had accustomed himself to go through many fantastic tricks before throwing himself into the river, and for this purpose he had caused 8 scaffolding to be erected immediately over the second arch of Waterloo bridge, on the Somerset Home side.
 ''In order to increase the sensa tional
 features of his exhibition, Scott was in
 the habit of thrusting his neck into the moose of the rope, and suspending him. self after the manner of a man who is being hanged by the neck. On the 11th of January, 1841, he ascended the scaf- fold as usual, and seizing the rope, placed it around his neck, exclaiming at the top of his voice, Now, I'll show you once more how to dance upon air before I dive With his head in the running moose he let himself down to the ex-
 tremity of the rope, and hung there for three or four minutes. One of the spec
 tators, who was intimate with the ex-
 hibitor. shouted out that his friend had
 hanged himself ill reality, and a loud cry of Cut him down ascended from the crowd. Some moments elapsed be fore knife was forthcoming, and wher , the unfortunate man was reached, 1t was } found that animation was suspended. r 'He was carried with all possible speed to Charing Cross Hospital, and : although life was not entirely extinct the utmost efforts of the surgeon in at g tendance were unable to save him. The l jugular vein was opened and he wal 7 placed in warm bath, but before man, t minutes had passed it was discovered : that he was dead. Since that day Lon !. doners have seen other divers throy e themselves safely from the bridges o y our metropolitan river and off the mast t heads of vessels moored in the stream ,, but no such leap as those taken by San # Patch and Harmon Peer have ever bee F attempted in this country
