And perch and pickerel giegle In the pool

The Life Led by the Men Who Maxi
Newspapers.

What curious life journalism open,
to its devotees! Some fellows sit quietly
in their offices from eight o'clock at
night until two in the morning doing
nothing but reading what other people
have written, striking out here, putting
in there, knowing absolutely nothing Of
the world except that which they read
of, sleeping the better part of it at home,
giving to their families not more than
three or four waking hours, rarely if
ever going to places of public amuse-
ment, avoiding as far as possible all in
dividual responsibilities. humdrumming
through life, busy, active. useful, but
uniformed out of certain grooves.
Others devote themselves to specialties,
in which they become proficient. aside
from which they knoy no more than the
ordinary merchant OF broker. Others,
again, are immersed in politics, writing
upon no other subject. Some deal with
conventions exclusively. Writers on
art, whether it be dramatic, lyric or the
work of the painter, are of no special
use as general newspaper men, but seek
and find well-paid employment upon
great newspapers which can afford spe-
cialists.
Then there is the correspondent, here
to-day, there tomorrow, and some
where else all the rest of the time.
With his eyes open he has it in his
power to know everything movable
in a superficial way. He meets the
great men of the country and the little
ones, and is known to them by name
and sight. He is always welcomed. be-
cause he has it in his power to serve.
If he were to be stricken blind, or with
paralysis, or be laid up beyond the pos
sibility of cOnvalescence and recupera-
ton. they would not put their hands in
their pockets to the extent of 81 for him
or his. Correspondents, by the way,
are divided into sundry classes. Some
men have noses for news and nothing
else. They scent an item from afar.
Others are enterprising in the last de-
gree. They not only know a good
thing when they see it, but they see it
before anybody else is aware of its ex-
istence, and understand how to utilize
it for the benefit of their employers.
There are gossip writers, men who know
nothing except stories about this, that
and the other man or woman. If the
gossip can have an unpleasant flavor to
it, all the better. They are mud sling
ers, stirrers of communities, people who
are Stunned by reputable and thought
full men, chiefly because it is unsafe to
talk in their presence 4; men who do not
hesitate to repeat private conversations,
to violate the sanctities of confidential
communications, who would steal an
idea from telegraph wire, or read an
opened letter on friends desk without
the slightest compunction.-Jo. Hon.
ard. in Boston Herald.

Ecuador.

With regard to the climate the rainy
season generally runs from December
to June, the remaining months being
dry but on the Amazon slope it rains
all the year round. As to the influence
of the climate on man there are vast
healthy districts in the river valleys OF
the Amazon region, while those of the
Pacific shore are commonly full of dis
ease. Special disorders are chiefly due
to the lack of sanitary measures. In
the west and northwestern parts the
abuse of sweets rs food results in a
curious and frightful intestinal COM
plant. The country is now, and will,
in all probability remain, almost wholly
agricultural. the Pacific coast and river
valleys of both east and west yielding
generous crops of cacao. cotton, sugar
cane, rice, tobacco and tropical fruits

the mixed races are condemned as the
source of the degradation of the coun-

On Taking Exercise.

BOYS who take a great interest and
an active part in outdoor sports often
bring needless illness upon themselves
by over-exertion and want of proper
care after violent exercise. Attacks OF
pneumonia or inflammation of the lungs
frequently occur from getting very
warm and then cooling off too sud.
| denly.
When about to engage in game Of
ball or any sport that requires continued
activity, it is best to lay aside the outer
garment, and put it on again when the
game is finished; and instead of sitting
down to "cool off," it is safer to walk
around for awhile. 1t is also danger.
Gus to drink large quantities of water
when very warm. as the system receives
shock which may lead to sickness.
To 90 in swimming after long walk
through the hot sun is also injurious, az
the blood is driven to the internal organ.
from the surface of the body. and pro-
duces congestion, and cramps are liable
to occur, which in many cases have
been the cause of death by drowning. IL
is always safer 10 wait until the body
has cooled before plunging into the
temperature than the body.
Violent exercise taken occasionally
will not develop the strength As well as
regular amount continued every day.
If boy wishes to develop his muscles,
let him play ball or row certain time
every favorable day. Let him cease at
the moment a sense of WEAKNESS or
dissemination seizes him. The next
day he will be able to stand little
more exertion, and so by degrees he
will attain to q certain standard, and
have reserve force of strength that
will be the foundation of continued
good health in the future. 1t is neceS-
sary that the,growing body should have
exercise. Ar and sunlight are neces-
sary to growth, and active outdoor
sports are the means by which their
benefits can be obtained.
Let boys have all the outdoor exer-
else they can. Ball-playing. rowing.
horseback riding, swimming, all are
prime factors in muscular development.
and with care and judgment in theft
proper use will tend to stronger and
healthier growth.
The word needs strong men as well
as wise ones, and indeed the mind will
develop more rapidly in sound body
than in a sickly one. 1t is a grand
thing to be able to satnd hardship and
privation in the search for truth and
knowledge. and any man with good
physical strength is equal to the
task of combating the world if with il
he has the stimulus of strong will.
Let boys then seek to build up in their
growing days sound constitution, and
life will be more than doubled in value
to them.-H @. Van Gieson, NJ. d., ia

With the exception of few years,
Madagascar's rulers since 1928 have
been women. A niece OF the late Queen
has just succeeded her to the throne,
and makes the fifth Queen since that
gear, and the fourth in an unbroken
line.
The Shah of Persia has a way OF
managing horse-races that is peculiar,
at least. The competitors all deposit
the entrance money with his Majesty,
and when the race is finished the Shah
eOnfiscates the winning horse and keeps
the entrance money. Pool-selling is
not practiced in that enlightened part
of creation.
Among the victims of Casamicciola
were a Signor and Signora Bonavita,
who left property worth $l,OOO,O00, to
which there is no direct heir. Their
relatives, in order to determine the sue.
cession, have petitioned to have their
bodies disinterred, that by an examina-
ton of the external injuries it may
be ascertained, if possible, who died
first.
"A circus man in Europe has a new
way of raising money. He rallies off his
African lion at each town he visits. In
this style of raffle the victim is the un-
fortunate winner. take your lion, :"
says the honest circus man as he goes
TO open the cage. The crowd stampede.
The unlucky owner, who finds he can
not buy the cage, generally pays the
circus man to keep the brute.
The conversion to Christianity OF
the Queen of Madagascar, who lately
died, is said to have been entirely acct
dental. She CHANGED to find an old
Bible around the palace and began to
read and study it, ending in adopting
the faith and making bold war upon
idolatry. Under her rule the country
took rapid strides forward in education
and all kinds of progress.

again, but lost all he had. He then lost
his watch; his studs and his rings, and
tried to borrow 500 francs to pay his
hotel bill. Being stranger he could
not do this, and out of shame for his
failure, and out of reluctance to ask
for more money from his family and
explain the situation to it, he shot him

OUR SKY.

know Of a dainty blue sky,
And IL Is the babys blue eye;
And we watch 1t to see
What the weather will be;
But we never can tell If we try.
And think such q fine day is begun;
And everything neat
And happy and sweet,
All ready for frolic and fun.
The rainbows are here without doubt;
And the robins and roses come out;
And gay bobolinks
And peoples and pinks,
And butterflies Swimming about.
The blue-bells are ringing a chime,
And the fairies come marching in time,
Mother Goose and the rest,
In their fine Sunday best,
And dance in q rollicking rhyme.
But 10, there's a storm in the skyl
Then how the wee fairy folks fiyi
And Mother Goose rings
For umbrellas and things,
And tries hard to keep herself dry.
The birds and the blossoms look sad;
For they wore the best coats that they had
To think such q shower
Should come up In an hourl
It's really, yes really too bad!
But look! while they worry and fret
The clouds are all gone and the wet;
And the sky is as blue
And Us innocent, too,
As If it had never rained yet.
So we can not tell if we try
The signs of this dainty blue sky
But its smile or its frOwn
Turns the house upside down
Forit Is the baby's blue eye.

posed to hover about the remains OF Q
worldly negro after death. Wherever
you meet with colored man Of reckless
daring you may depend upon it that he
has 'dead-root' hung about his neck.
1t is necessary, however, to make these
fetiches powerful, that no person should
know that you are the possessor Of one,
for such is the faith the negro has in
their virtue, that if any man is supposed
to have one of extraordinary efficacy,
he would be in danger of robbery if
not of murder. Beside the root that
l have spoken about, there are many
others that have special virtues. The
snake-root will cure snake-bites, how
ever poisonous they may be, and the
'devil-root' is supposed to prevent de-
lirium tremens."
"These superstitions are not confined
to the negroes by any means. We have
white customers as well, but of course
their number is small. 1t is true that
the colored people who come here to
buy the charmed roots belong to the
most ignorant portion of their race, but
there seems to be grain of the most
senseless superstition inherent in the
negro that is found in the members of
no other race. The herb business is
not now what it used to be. In fact, it
has decreased one-half in the last five
years. While the treatment with herbs
is still regarded as good, the science Of
pharmacy has become such that only
the active principle of the herb is used
instead of the plant itself. Our stock is
gathered in New Jersey and Long
Island, by persons who make herb
picking regular business. The plants
are dried and packed there, and are
sent to us in bales. Of course, we are
obliged to depend to a great extent on
the knowledge of the herb-gatherers,
but they are trained from their child
hood to make a proper selection. and
their training seldom leads them astray.
Herbs and roots are sent to us from all
parts of the country, as there are some
plants with medicinal properties tina
cannot be found in our vicinity. But i.
is rare indeed that herb is sent to IL
from over the seas. 1t is safe to say
that there is not plant that grow
which is valuable in medicine that can
not be found within the boundaries
our country."-N. Y. Tribune.
