Youth and Age.

Long ago, long ago, in this valley of woe,
The white mists were silver, the sunshine
was gold;
Long ago, long ago, every dewdrop aglow
Was the purest Of diamonds of value un-
told.
Long ago, long ago, every fioweret low
Looked out from the grass like a star from
the sky;
Long ago long ago, every strea1nlet allow
In a volume of glittering crystal went by.
Now the silvery mist is water, I = visit
10 which the grand power to climb upward
is given.
The sunshine of gold is q wave of light rolled
On the earth through tho open portal of
heaven.
Inc dew In the grass now shineth, alasl
In my altered eyes like an angels tears;
And tho deep waters roll, the type of a soul,
Righto on to the sea of eternity near.
The flowers in the grass, they must die, and
they pass
From life unto life as to us it is given:
For the mist and tho dew, stream, flower and
light too.
Like souls are sent down but to climb back
to heaven.

pine makes a nice looking job when fin
ished in good shape, but has the serious
objection of being full of pitch. Cypress
has much the same appearance of hard
pine, but the pitch is happily absent.

been successfully utilized. 1t is being
worked into a great many forms, despite

One of the strangcst communit tiles in
the world lives on the Island of Rcdonda
which is one of the British West Indies,
between Nervis and Montscrrat. 1t is
very rocky and barren, and contains no
vegetation, but has extensive mines of
phosphate of alumina and iron. About
fifty men work in these mines, they being
the only persons on the island with the
exception of the foreman's wife. Their
provisions have to be brought from Ncr-
Wis and Montserrat in small boats. The
men live in small wooden huts built for
the purpose. The climate of Redonda
is beautiful and healthful, and the work.
ingmen enjoy perfect health. The har-
Dor is excellent and we'll protected, the
highest point on the island being 1000
feet above the level of the sea.

How Burnside Became n Cadet.

Gen. Burnside and Senator Morton,
when they were boys, were apprentices in
the little village of Liberty, Ind, Burn
side in a tailor's shop and Morton in
a hatter's. One day the Hon. Caleb
Smith, then the representative in the
Federal Congress from that district, was
about to start on an ~electioncering tour,
when he discovered that there was a rent
in his coat. Stepping into a ~tailor's shop
to have it mendcd, he found no one
there but young Burnside, who was
stitching away IN a coat, while he was
attentively studying a volume "Cooper's
Tactics" which was propped up by a
"goose" and kept open by a pair of
shears. Questioning the young man, the
congressman was struck with his self
reliant confidence and the un1inching
look with which he returned his gaze,
and an unknown influence prompted him
to say, "You should be a cadet ut West
Point" This remark changed the young
mans destiny. He sought and obtained
an appointment atWes Point, but he never
forgot the neat and trim habits of tho
tailor's shop.-Boston Budget.

The Inventor OF the Telescope.

A long article is contributed to Ciel ct
Terre, in which tao writer maintains that
the real inventor of the telescope was
John Lippershey, a spectacle maker at
Middleburg, Netherlands, who was born
in Vessel, Germany.
James Mctius, who, according to Des-
c%artes, has been regarded as the inventor,
wrote on the 18th of October, 1908, to
the provinces of Holland, stating that he,
as we'll as the spectacle maker of Middle.
burg, was manufacturing the instrument
that brings things near.
Another document is a petition to the
same Provinces from Lippershay for a
thirty years. patent. This was refused
him the .drst time because the instrument
could not be used with both eyes at once,
and a second time (after he had made
the instrument double) because teles-
copes were then being made everywhere.

An African Prodigy.

The Hamburg Geological garden has
received a full-grown specimen of the
CAMS pictus, or spotted wild dog, of
central Africa. The creature is a native
OF the western Transvaal, and in ap-
pearance an astonishing hybrid between
a hound and half q dozen other animals.
He has a size and general form of a deer
hound, the tail of a fox, the black snout
OF a hyena, and the spots and stripes Of.
a leopard. His voice is a sort Of
coughing howl, and he PAGES his cage
all day long with the restlessness of q

A Singular marriage is reported by the
Fredericton, New Brunswick, Cleaner.
A Dr. Barker claimed to have performed
a remarkable faith cure upon a daughter
of James Young of Nashwaak. The
young lady was unable to walk for sew
eral years except on crutches, and was
bed ridden a great part of the time.
Hearing of her condition and that all
medical remedies had failed, the doctor
visited her, and by some remarkable
means succeeded in raising her from her
sick bed. She gained in strength and
was soon able to walk without crutchcs.
Having accomplished this, the doctor
offered his hand in marriage, and the
two were welded.

Causes of Dyspepsia.

The saliva, gastric and pancrcatic
juices and bile arc produced in very
large quantities, several pints of each
daily. or course, they must be made
from the blood, and, being continually
absorbed, the same fluid is used ovcr and
over again after each portion has done its
appropriate work. Therefore, it is i'm
possible for these necessary sccretions to
be made unless there is an abundant
supply of blood to the organs thus en-
ployed. Anything that intcrferes with
the blood supply will cause dyspepsia.
If the blood itself is thin and poor in
quality, everything made from it must be
correspondingly defective. In this way,
then, a poor, insufficient diet, large losses
of blood, profuse discharges Gas in con-
sumption, ctc.), the effects of such poi
sons as that of malaria, lead, mercury
and of 'tspccifc diseases" act as causes
of dyspepsia. Prolonged mental work,
with sedcntcry habits, lack of bodily
exercises, and of fresh air and
sunlight, by directing the blood to the
brain, lessen the AMOUNT sent to the di-
gestive organs and caus dyspepsia. En-
cessive anxiety, grief, worry or any abb
sorbing emotion acts in the same way.
Fatigue of the muscles by manual labor,
if too prolonged or excessive exercise in
amount, produces similar results. Dis
eases of the heart or lungs, which seri,
ously interfere with the passage of the
blood through the lungs and the taking
up there of the vitality essential oxygen
of the air, produce dyspepsia in another
way. The blood is prevented from leav-
ing the digestive organs; the latter, in.
stead of producing a natural secretion,
pour out q watery fluid that is useless SO
far as acting upon the food is con ccrned,
and grave digestive troubles follow, not
because there is any "disease of the
stomach" but in consequence of a slow
ing of the blood current, which must be
very brisk if they are to do their full
duty.-(St. Louis Globe Democrat.

He Holds the Fonce.

Several weeks ago q Detroitcr Dur
chased a piece of land in the west end of
the county. After the purchase had
been completed he engaged a surveyors
services to see if he had been cheated.
llle discovery was made that al:nc-fence
was over on his land eight inches. When
he went to the owner of the adjoining
property with the statement the man re-
piled:
stranger, the row about that fence
began twcnty-cight years 60. 1t was
thcn five feet over the line, and the two
men tit and fit unit | one was killed and
the other crippled. After 4 while it was
moved Il foot, and then the other owners
fit and fit until the lawyers got the two
farms. The fence was then moved an
other foot, and the two new owners spent
half the year in jawing each other and
the other half in having. One died and
the other got sold out on a mortgage, and
when l got this farm the fence was moved
over another foot. Th"u I fit and fit,
and two years ago was kicked in the ribs
and laid up for three months. During
that time the fence was moved to the
present line. So it's still on your land2"
eyes"
"Wcll, Is'posc the proper thing is a
row. If you'll go out by the barn with
your revolver I'll come out and hunt for
you with the shotgun. If you git the
drop on me don't let go, because I shall
shoot to kill"
1t took the Dctroitcr some time to con-
vince the farmer that he didn't care for
eight inches of land, and that he wouldn't
have the fence moved for fifty dollars,
and when he had succeeded the old man
drew q long breath of relief and replied:
'That's kind O. you, and it leaves my
boys u chance to fit and fit after Pm
gone. hope you Amt comm out here
to live alongside O. mcw
"No."
"Glad ont. If you lease, git some
man who'll want them other eight inch
cs. The boys and I is lonesome for ex-
citcment. "-Detr0t Free Press.

The farms of America equal the entire

The farms of America equal the entire
territory of the United Kingdom,
France, Belgium, Germany, Austria,
Hungary and Portugal. The corr fields
equal the extent of England, Scotland
and Belgium; while the grain fields gen.
erallJ would overlap Spain. The cotton
fields cover and area larger than Holland
and twice as large as Belgium. The rice
fields, sugar and tobacco plantations
would. also form kingdoms of no 'insig-
niffcant size, and such is the stage of
advancement reached by American agri-
culturists that is is estimated hat one
farmer like Mr.. Dalrymple, with a field
of wheat covering a hundred square
miles, can raise as much grain with 400
farm servants as 5000 peasant proprietors
in France.

A Felfne's Fright.

Last week in connection with a study
of the carnivora, says a Denver scientist,
1 obtained a cat from an acquaintance at
a dinner and carefully dissected it in a.
room above our stable. When 1 had fin
lshed the cat was, as may be supposed,
hardly recognized. I cleaned the seal
pcls, placed them in the case, and took
them to the house. No sooner had I put
them down han I observed our own cat
go and sniff all around the case with a
peculiar look of intense wonder. I took
the instruments away and thought no
more about it; but a short time after T
returned to the remains of the dissected
cat in order to prepare the skeleton,
when I saw our cat standing at a distance
of o a foot from the dissection, and
presenting an appearance of most help
less terror. She was trembling from head
to foot, n in such a condition of evil
lent horror that my presence had no eff
feet upon her. After some momcntss she
noticed me, and then darted away with
a scared look such as I had never before
seen. She did not return to the house
that day, n thing quito unusual, but on
the next day she returned and entered
the house with q fearful caution. as
though realizing the probability that she
herself might become q victim to science.
and her whole conduct was changed.
This suggests that the country custom of
using dead birds, wcasels, etc., as a scare
to the like is not entirely unreasonable,
and it would be interesting TO know
whether others have noticed similar ef4
fects.

According to some sta istics recently
published by an Indian paper, it appears
that the people of Great Britain are con-
siderably behind other nations in the
average consumption of tea per head of
population. The Australians conc first
with 1850 lb. per head; the New Zea-
landers next with 1928 lb. per head;
while the people of Great Britain, though
appearing third in the list, consume only
400 ID. each. Newfoundland and Cana
da come next, while in the United States
the consumption is only 100 lb. per
head; and in Russia, which is always re-
garded as a great tea-drinking country,
the consumption is only 0.6 lib. per head.
Belgium, Sweden, Austria Hungary, and
Spain consume less than the other Euro
pean nations; but there is not one
nation on the continent, with the
exception of Holland, in which the an
nual consumption exceeds 1 Id. per head.
