a BIRTHDAY.

Up from the underworld they come again,
Dim forms of vanished years;
And some rose-garlanded nor known of pain;
Some pale with tears.
The golden summers OF gone gtrlhood's days.
When all the world was young;
The glittering star CLEAN; the bedizeued sprays
Where hoar.frost chung.
Rose-scented gales that are the breath of June;
The north winds bitter blast
With many voices do they sing the tune
OF life that's past.
And could they tell us OF the years to come
Would it be better so?
BUT nay: the Book is sealed, their lips are
dumb:
We may not know
Ican but wish you what is good and great,
True-hearted till the end,
Nor ever daunted by an adverse fate,
Nor lacking friend.
And II it be that you must tread alone
The long and empty years,
Wear still rosemary for the past you've known,
With hopes, not fears.

Drummond Hay are exaggerated
at the present day. and
perhaps they were when he

QUEER SUPERSTITION.
The Discovery of Drowned Bodies
Means of Bread.

The Discovery of Drowned Bodies by
Means of Bread.
Among beliefs current among sailors
in our own country is the notion that
it is unlucky to turn a loaf upside down
after helping oneself from it, the idea
that for every loaf so turned ship
will be wrecked. It is also said that
if loaf parts in the hand while being
cut it bodies dissension in the family
the separation of husband and wife.
Again, it has long been widespread
belief that the whereabouts of a
drowned body may be ascertained by
floating loaf of bread down stream,
when it will stop over the spot where
the body is.
A curious account of the body thus
recovered near Hull appeared esome
years back in the Gentleman's Maya
zine: "After diligent search III the
river had been made for the child, to
no purpose, a two-penny loaf, with a
quantity of quicksilver put in it, was
set floating from the place where the
child was supposed to have fallen in,
which steered it's way down the river
upward of half mile, when, he'body
happening to lie on the contrary side
of the river, the loaf suddenly tackled
about and swan across the river, and
gradually sank near the child, when
both the child and the loaf were
brought up with the graplers ready
for the purpose" ..r..... ..<s#y'
A correspondent of Notes and Que
ries maintains that it is a scientific fact
that loaf and quicksilver indicates
the position of the body, as the weight
ed loaf is carried by the current just as
the body is. This practice, too pre-
wallis on the continent; and in Ger
many the name of the drowned person
is inscribed on the piece Of bread, while
in France loaves consecrated to St.
Nicholas, with a lighted wax taper in
them, have generally been employed
for that purpose. Notes and Queries.

Primitive Patriots.

The safety and strength of our nation
must ever rest in the homes of it's people.
1r the log cabins of early days our fathers
lived. Simple homes they were, but from
within their mud-chinked walls there spraug
q hardy race Of men, full of love for home
and liberty.
Strong in body and mind, they laid the
foundation OF Americas greatness. Well
was thei'. work performed, for upon that
solid rock has grown, as years have passed,
the imposing structure of cherished indie
pendence
Stately and grand, it is worthy of its de-
signers.
Though the heroes of that time have long
since passed away, they have left US rich
by inheritance.
Whilst our fathers were planning Amer.
ica's future destiny, our sweet mothers
were not idle, for in their ever mindful care
Tor the welfare of their loved ones, they dis
covered some Of the best remedial agents
known for the relief of the sick.
Good old-fashioned home-cures, prepared
from roots and herbs-they have ever been
standards of excellency.
Though lost for time has been the
preparation of these old-time "home-cures"
they are again revived, and are known to
the public as Warmers Log Cabin Rem
edies; chief among them being Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, the best OF the old
time blood purifiers.
In those times every family was its own
doctor and the heroes and heroines Of early
days were wonderfully healthful and long
lived.
America owes its freedom to tho rugged
bodies and healthy minds of our fathers
and so long as the spirit of freedom they in
stilled prevails and true appreciation of
our grand institutions remains there is no
danger of the downfall of the Republic.

LESSONS OF ANTIQUITY.

Only knowledge Worth Having.
A man who knows his language, and
all that Is implied by it, stands on q
foundation of ages. He feels the past
under his feet, and feels at home in the
world OF thought, loyal citizen of the
Oldest and widest republic. It is this
historical knowledge OF language, and
not OF language only, but of every thing
That has been handed down to us by an
uninterrupted tradition from father to
son, 1t Is that kind of knowledge which
l hold that our universities and schools
should strive to maintain: 1t is the
historical spirit with which they should
try to inspire every now generation.
AS we trace the course of a mighty
river back from valley to valley, as we
mark its tributaries, and watch it's
meanderings, till we reach it's source,
or at all events the watershed from
which its sources spring, in the same
manner the historical school has to
trace every current of human knowl-
edge from century to century back to
its fountain-head, if that is possible, or
at all events as near to it as the
remaining records of the past will al
low. The true interest of all knowl-
edge lies in it's growth. The very
mistakes of the past form the solid
ground on which the truer knowledge
of the present is founded. Would a
mathematician be a mathematician
who had not studied his Euclid?
Would an astronomer be an as
tronomer who did not know the
Ptolemaic system of astronomy, and
had not worked his way through
its errors to the truer views of Co.
pernicus? Would q philosopher be a
philosopher who had never grappled
with Plato and Aristotle? Would a
lawyer be a lawyer who had never
heard of Roman law? There is but
one key to the present-that is the
past. There is but one way to under
stand the continuous growth of the
human. mind and to gain firm grasp
OF what it has achieved in any depart
ment of knowledge-that is to watch
its historical development. No doubt
it will be said there is no time for all
this in the hurry and furry of our mod
ern life. There are SO many things to
learn that students must be satisfied
with results. without troubling them
selves how these results were obtained
by the labors of those who came before
us. This really would mean that our
modern teaching must contine itself to
the surface, and keep aloof from what
lies beneath. knowledge must be what
is called cut and dry, if it is to prove
serviceable in the open market. Ny
experience is the very opposite. The
cut-and-dry knowledge which is &C
quired from the study of manuals or
from so-called examiners is very apt to
share the fate of cut flowers It makes
a brilliant show for one evening, but
it fades and leaves nothing behind.
The only knowledge worth having,
and which lasts us for life, must not be
cut and dry, but, on the contrary, it
should be living and growing knowl-
edge, knowledge of which we know the
beginning, the middle and the end,
knowledge of which we can produce
the title deeds whenever they are
called for.-Prof. Max Muller, in Fort
nightly Review.

of Bad Faith.
 CHICAGO, June 26.-When tho grand Jury resumed the inquiry into the Cronin case, Dr. r. Cass testified that he had a fast horse which Coughlin and Burke, shortly before the murder, tried to hire for all-niSht service.
 He insisted that they put up $40O guar antee that tho animal would be returned in good condition, but this was refused.
 w. F. Lynn testified to having seen Coughlin in close conversation with Maj. Sampson, whose story that the ex-de- tective offered him money to ''do up' Dr. Cronin was one of the sensational fea- lures of the inquest.
 An unknown man was brought before the jury by Captain Scheuttler, and 1t was said he was the author of the an ony- ous letters received by the states attor- ncy giving information of the '1nner Circle" of camp 20, and the conspirators who composed 1t.
 The disbandment of camp 20. Clan-na- Gael, is considered at tho states atsor- ney's office as double in It's effect. While it will deprive the authorities. probably, of the aid and information which they expected to get from the records oi the camp, it also affords greater insight as to the extent and character of the great conspiracy, and gives a moro deti- nite basis upon which tho officers may work.

IS COL. M'C.4ULL INSANES
A Startling statement Made by an In-
 timote Friend.

NEW YORK, June 27.-It Is rumored that Col. John A. McCaul has gone in sane and Is now sequestrated in private insane asylum.
 The greatest secrecy has been main- tained in relation to this phase of the we'll known comic opera managers s health by those who arc most intimate with him.
 It is true that tho colonel has not been in good health for some time past. The fact that Manager Ben Stevens has had entire charge and has assumed many re- responsibilities, moro particularly, as in- dicated, the decisive action in the Ma nola case, and that the colonel has ap- parently not been called upon to arbi- trate matters personally in so important n complication would seem to give ere dence to the reports that have been go- ing the rounds of inner theatrical circle s for some time past.
 As matter of fact, the statement was made by theatrical man likely to know that Col McCaull had been pronounced to be suffering from paresis and placed in a retreat for treatment. This announcement was made by q contemporary manager of Col. McCaull. who knows him intimately and whose manner of receiving the news indicated that it was not entirely unexpected.

HIS NECK IS BROKEN.
0ut Young Maeones still Lives, to the
 Wonder of All

NEW YORK, Juno 2.-One of the most startling cases which have called for sur gical aid Is occupying tho attention of the surgical staff at St. Vincents hos pital, and 1t seems likely to vindcate a conspicuous place for itself in pathologi- cal literature.
 Patrick Macones, of 446 West Twenty- ninth street, Is boy sixteen years old given to swimming, and he was indulg- ing in this pastime at high noon yester- tav at the foot of Horatio street.
 Tho water was not more than four feet Tn depth. Patrick took "header" into 1t and thumped his head against the bot tom in such vigorous way that he al- most broke it off.
 He rose, looking considerably tho worse for wear, and feebly called for help. His companions tished him out, aud finding that he could not support himself, but lay in a very flabby condi- tion, they summoned an ambulance and had Patrick carted off to St. Vincent's hospital, where Dr. McCabe discovered that his neck was broken.
 A reporter called at the hospital this morning and asked for Dr. McCabe. The young man appeared.
 "How Is the boy with the broken neck?" asked the reporter.
 "He's alive" said Dr. McCabe. ''But the whole of his body Is paralyzed below the head. We have hopes of preserving his life."
 ..Is he suffering much pain?"
 "No. He complains a little of the pain in his neck, but his body Is perfectly in sensible.
 .He was conscious when he was brought here yesterday, and has beer conscious ever since, though he was dazed when he first broke his neck ..If the pressure on the nerves can b> removed. which is on them now from the broken bones, some of the functions may be resumed. He can take nourishment and of course, 1t could be administered as an injection.
 What the outcome of the case will be it Is impossible to predict"

can Weasel.
 NEW YORK, Juno 27.-Private Adyicee have reached merchants here informing them of another Haytian attack upon our merchant marine.
 This time Legitimes admiral, com lnanding the warship Belize, seized the American steamer Ozama, of the Clyde steamship line, as that vessel was enter ing the harbor of Gonaives. Capt. Rock we'll and tho passengers and crew were subjected to tho grossest insults and the vessel was searched for arms.
 Then the dusky watcrwaymen hauled down tho stars and stripes and trampled upon them and run up the Havtian colors and indulged in the wilicst kind of an orgie to celebrate their capture.
 There was a goodly amount of liquor on board tho Ozama at tho timc of the seizure and the Haytians started in to dispose of it.
 In tho midst of their wild fun the United States warship Ossipeo hove in sight and Captain Rockwell, breaking
 oose from his captors, made a rush for he engine room.
 The OssIppee immediately started in pursuit and overhaulcd tho Belize in short order
 The Haytian admiral was profuse in his apologies and cringing in attitude l when tho Ossipce ran along side. Meanwhile. all was excitement on board the Ozama. The passengers and crew, released of thelr letters by Cap tain Rockwell wept and then cried for joy. Tho engines were at once put in | motion, and shortly afterward the Ozama was lying alongside the Ossipee | in the inner harbor, while the Belize was putting out to sea.
 l The Ozama's cargo was then put | ashore and q consignment of logwood and mahogany taken on board. Then. still accompani ed by the Ossipee, the Ozama repaired to Cape Haytian, where | she was at last accounts.
 A report of the outrage perpctratcd by the lawless Haytiens upon the Stars and Stripes has been forwarded to the state l department at Washington.
