Yellowstone Park.

In answer to an inquiry, the Brooklyn
E0q'e conveys the following interesting
information about the country's national
park: Yellowstone Park is publ do
main two thirds as large as Connecticut
and mostly included in Southwestern
Montana. Its natural scenery is magniti-
cent and its geysers, hot springs, fumar-
oles, PAINT pots, canons and cliffs of glass
unparalleled in the world. 1t les at q
height of from 5000 to 5000 feet above
sea level, the climate is cool and bracing
aud the nights always cold. Game and
fish abound and facilities for camping are
fair The cheapest and most feasible ap-
proach to the park is via the Northern
Pacific Railroad to Livingston, Mon,
thence by branch to Gardiner City, from
which point one must travel horseback
or in wagon. An outfit can perhaps be
had quite as cheaply at Bozeman or Liv-
ingston as at the edge of the park. A
party making the tour will require at
least one guide, and cooking utensils,
blankets, tents and supplies must be OBJ
tanned before beginning the trip. To see
the various g2yscr basins, Mammoth Hot
Springs, Yellowstone Lake and Grand
Canon will require about week of team
ing. The expense for single person
may be rou shly estim,t as follows:
Railroad fares from New York;, in
Guiding berths, $50; team and guides
through park, 500; supplies and meals
en- route, so; total, 1925. The park is
about 1000 miles westward from New

ROSE AND DAISY.

khe Daisy lifted her eyes to the Rose
(The Daisy that grew so low,
At the summer days dim, shadowy close,
When the south wind began to blow,
And the blush of the sky at the parting kiss
Of the sun was palipg slow.
And she wondered why, as Daisies will,
God made the Rose SO fair;
And, drowsily nodding, wondered still
Till sleep oertook her there
A sleep so deep, she knew it not
When the south wind touched her hair.
But the south winds touch aroused dream
In heavenly garden plot
Beside clear and winding stream
That fed the forget-me-not;
They two did seem Ctwas but dream.
To grow, and share one lot!
They two did grow as sisters dear,
And the Daisy's weary head,
With never thought of doubt or fear,
On the Roses breast was laid
For the mother-heart stopped and drew it
The little, motherless head
But the night wind passed, and the Daisy
woke;
And queenly above her there
The Rose smiled on. The morning broke,
And tiushe l the sapphire air,
And she wondered STILL as Daisies will,
Why Roses grow so fair!

Praying and Dieting.

Rev. ]. II. Clymer in his admirable
little work on ''Food and Morals" sees
clearly the means to be tried in the fol-
lowing case and great many like it. In
fact it points to the remedy in many
evils: IA father, by prayer and
precept and flogging, had done lis best
to reform his boy, whose staple diet
was meat and sausage and pie and cake
at his meals, with lunch between. The
family physician said to the father: IF
you will put leech back of each of
your boys ears once a week for month
you will do more to reform him than
your preaching and pounding will do in d
year. The father asked for the philoso-
ply Of this prescription. why said
the doctor, your boy has bad blood and
too much of it; he must behave badly or
he would burst Them said the
father, I'll change his diet from beef
and pie to hominy and milk In three
months thereafter better boy of his age
could not be found in the neighborhood
The acrid, biting, evil blood had not
become food for leeches, but had done
its wicked work and passed away, and
cool order, blander power, safer blood
had been supplied from sweeter, gentler
food services. "-lBaLrs Journal Of Health.
