Have made me old today,
Dr. when they changed my sunny hair
To somber shades OF gray;
How strange it seems
That sunset CLEANS
Fall now across my way.
The months and years have flown since 1
BY toys and dreams beguiled,
Sat in the freight of my home.
A loved and loving child,
With fame more bright,
And heart more light,
Because my mother smilet
Oh. how 1t thrills me now to feel,
Adown the waste of years,
RE magic of my mothers touch,
Which wiped my childbood's tearsl
Oh. gentle hand,
With fairy wand!
1t scatters all Ely fears.
Ny griefs and cares are soothed tonight,
While in her arms caressed,
While resting as of old my head
Upon her faithful breast.

For mother love,

Which burden them today.
Oh, tender touch!
Never was such
On sunny hair or gray.
Blest memory, while unfolding now
The pages Of the past,
Give me of all thy valued store
The very best thou hast.
Oh, m1ther.l0ve,

French Experiences I'm Tonquin.


The French are having some ludi-
crous experiences in Tenquin, land
that seems to be d good deal Ut d white
elephant on their hands. They have,
for the present, given up their efforts to
take the census of the capital, Hanoi;
which Is supposed to contain about 10O,-
600 persons. Every time the censtis
agents started on their rounds they Gre
ated a small panic. The natives were
certain some deep laid deviltry was at
the bottom of the unheard-of and III.
comprehensive affair. It was evident
their taxes were to be increased or they
were to be victimized in some manner.
The result was that on each occasion
there was great exodus OF townspeople
to visit their country cousins, and those
who remained impaired the widest in
formation. Little tnatrons declared by
oil that was sacred that they were child.

young hopefuls were at the time tum-
bling about in the cutters. The French

ia His Recent Investments.


in His Recent Investments.
Boston CMass) Record, Feb. H.
At the January drawing of the Lou
isiana State Lottery Co. it was found
that the ticket numbered 40, 7S9 had
drawn 100000. One-tenth of this
ticket was held by q Boston gentle
man, w. H. Nagle, of Farrell, Nagle &
Power, wholesale dealers in wool,
Hathaway building, $50 Atlantic ave.
Mr.. Nagle lives in a large brown
wooden dwelling on the corner OF
Main and Ellery streets, Cambridge.
A Record reporter called en- him last
evening to learn if the report as to his
good luck had a good foundation, and
was assured that it had. Mr.. Maggie
sent 81 about two months ago to NJ
A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La, and a
short time ago he received by express
a check from that gentleman for $10,-
900, On which he got the money.
Mr.. Nagle had not decided what dis
position he should make Of his sud-
denly gained good fortune. He said
that he has so many calls for money
that he can use it all readily. He
might put it all in stocks, bonds, real
estate, or in tine bank.

One Hundred Years Hence.

What will our population be? Who
shall say? The United States to-day
contains over 60, 900, 900 people, who in
crease at the rate of about 25 per cent
i'll every decade, SO that at the close of
the next century the increment would
have run mp to total of not less than
400, 600, 900 souls. Take the population
of all the other states and countries as
likely to come under our sway and
another 400, 200, 900 will be easily added.
In the year of our Lord 1000, and the
year of the Independence of the United
States the 224th, it will be no longer
the United States of North America,
but the United States of North, Central
and South America, and the then presi-
dent will then issue his Thanksgiving
day proclamation to nearly thousand
million people. The mind fails to grasp
our industrial and commercial expan-
sion ut that day; the wonderful progress
in the arts and sciences; the tremendous
energy with which enterprise after en-
terprise will be conceived and made a
realty. And then congress. Just think
what congress will be then! But stop!
Better not think. When we contem-
plate what it is now, with 400 members,
the idea of what it will be with 1000 is
simply appalling. Petersburg (Va.) In

A Lovely Flower.

In Dougherty county, thickly cover
ing the old fields and by the roadside,
a lovely flower has sprung up. 1t is
called by the children rice lily. 1t
closes at night and opens by day. It
possesses the singular property of sensi-
lively feeling or seeing light At night,
while the lovely white blossome are
closely embodied IN their purple cover
ing and the flowers are asleep, if lamp
is placed near them they will gradually
open and turn toward it. If strong
light is placed on one side of the vase
containing them, the half of the boz
quet that faces the lamp will be I'M
folded, while the other half that is in
the shadow will remain tightly closed.
The flower is the hepatica or liver wort,
and belongs to the anemone family.
They grow throughout the country. but
are much more plentiful in southwest
Georgia than elsewhere. 1t is not
known whether those growing in other
sections have the singular property OF
such extreme sensitiveness to light

Gre0t EggS.

The dinornis, of New Zealand, and
the epyornis, of Madagascar, were
among the existing birds until so recent
q period that it has sometimes been
doubted whether they are yet extinct.
Jolly states that the height of the latter
was about sixteen feet, while its eggs
were equal in capacity to six ostrich
eggs, to 14S hens eggs, or to $4,000
hnmming birds eggs. One of the eggs
measured at Toulouse was twenty inches
long and nine inches wide, with shell
from one to two lines thick; and it
could contain nearly two gallons of
water. A still larger specimen has been
described by Saint Hillaire. An egg of
the dinornis measuring ten and seven
inches is recorded.

A Dutiful Daughter.

1t is related of clergyman, who
was the father of a ; charming and
beautiful daughter. that one day while
preparing his Sunday discourse he
was suddenly called away from his
desk on mission of mercy. So i'm
perative was the summons that he left
unfinished this sentence:

did physique and the promise of glori-
Gus manhood almost realized, but my

The Brompton hospital for consump-
tives, London, England, published o
statement that SO per cent of the pa
tients in that institution had unsus-
pected kidney disease. Every drop of
blood in the system passes thousands of
times through the lungs in each twenty
four hours. The same blood passes
through the kidneys for publication
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition or able to expel the poisonous or
waste matter the acids return to the
delicate tissues of the lungs and pro-
duce irritation, which results in the
symptoms of what is known rs con-
sumption. This explains why SO per
cent of the consumpiive patients have
unsupported kidney disorder. Warmers
Safe Cure puts the kidneys in n healthy
condition taking the acids from the
blood which vitiate the lungs and cause
consumption.

A New SPY.

1t is an interesting fact, which might
become important in case of war, that
the telephone furnishes simple and
ready means of intercepting secret tele-
graphic dispatches without the knowl-
edge of the operators. All that is ne
cessnry is to run wire parallel with the
telegraph line for q short distance,
when the currents induced in this wire
as the message is sent reproduce the
signals in the telephone. The plan is
attended Ivy one difficulty, which is that
the signals would become q confused
medley of sounds if dispatches were
transmitted simultaneously from both
ends of the line This matter has ut
tracted the attention of the Austrian

WHAT ARE THEY 2

The claim is now set up by certain Alder.
men that they are not city officers. The OBJ
ject of this claim is to avoid the necessity of
resigning their seats as Aldermen by those
who have designs on State Legislative honors.
The Constitution prohibits the election OF
any person holding a city Office within one
hundred days of a State election to the
Legislature.
This argument may throw q food of light
upon the actions of many Aldermen. It is
generally thought by the people that there is
scant attention paid to the city's welfare by
those officials, and it may be that their indif-
ference thereto Is attributable to their belief
that they are not city officers. But what are
they? There are reasons for the belief that
they are representatives of private interests.
This is an interesting question.

A MERITED REBUKE

The attempt of CLARENCE w. Bowen to
induce the Chamber of Commerce to pass
resolutions highly d%iscourteous to Mayor
GRANT in connection with the preliminary
arrangements for the Worlds Fair was a fiat
failure. 1t is apparent that Mr.. Bowen is
afraid that he will not be as conspicuous in
the coming great event as he desires. There
is no mistaking the fact that the people of
New York have had a surfeit of Bowen in
connection with the recent Centennial.
What they want now is q prolonged rest from
him.
The manly and forclble manner in which
CORNELIUS N. BLISS rebuked young BowEN's
assurance was very creditable. After being
squelched with such unanimity by the
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Bowen ought to
realize what a mighty small potato he is.
The Worlds Fair project is too great to be
meddled with by small try.
