They are urged forward by Natures stern
decree to assume the powers and duties of
manhood and womanhood. And yet this is
the most critical point in the voyage of hu-
man life. Then it is that the danger of a
shattered nervous system reaches its crisis
and ignorance seizes its opportunity to plant
the seed of future ill-health and misery.
Thenit is the quack secures his victim and
his purse. This is the occasion when the
hand Of experience should take the hand of
inexperience and guide its feet to the solid
rock upon the farther shore. At the ap-
proach of puberty and during the first years
Of this new order of being, there are weak
ening tendencies that should be guarded
against. A medicine that has the power to
strengthen the various parts of the body
and to regulate and give control to its varf-
Gus functions is essential at frequent inter
walls. Such medicine has the eminent Dr.
John Bull, of Louisville, KY, given to the
world 1t is known as DR.. Bulls Sarsapa-
rilla. Don't fall into the hands of quacks,
but demand this remedy of your druggist.
Take no other. 1t is exactly what is needed
and will carry you safely through to

has been caught by film of glass 1-3,00
of an inch thick and of the diameter of
fifty-cent piece.
To that disk of glass is fastened tiny
point which is dug into the smooth sur
face of a revolving cylinder of some
waxy substance whose composition is
Mr.. Edison's secret. The cylinder which
bears the complex record Of the many
voiced strain of military band, to the
sight has been but scored with tiny
lines like those of mother of pearl.
If one should rub his thumb on the
polished surface of dinner-plate the
streak remaining would look more Ike
the record on the cylinder of the phono-
graph than any thing else in all the
world beside. And yet that smouch on
the roll of wax gives back to the fragile
glass diaphragm the many stranded
thread of harmony, and one hears Cap
pas band. But how does one hear? It
is marvellous that the glass disk should
catch all these sounds even to the twang
which distinguishes the euphonium
from the French horn, but it is not
wonderful at all that the drum of the
ear should do all this and that the
sounds should set tremble that inter-
nal harp which the wise men call Corti's
fibers. That is not wonderful in the
least 1t is simply so astounding that
folks have quit trying to appreciate it,
and expend their admiration on the
phonograph aud the like. And really it
is more wonderful that Mr.. Edison
should have made the phonograph than
that the other workman should have
made the ear.
But it does puzzle body to under
stand how the vibration of a diaphragm
bearing needle stabbing the wax with
. series of little dots can convey the
multiple sounds of band; not only the
plain notes themselves but the evanes-
cent, nnnoticed harmonics which inn
part the quality to tone which is called
I timbre. A man may sing ga" and cor
net may play "a" and a piano may sound
"A," all the same note, yet the floating
indistinct resultant notes which cluster
around each musical tone like satellites
around planet distinguish the vocal
"a" from the vibrations of string or
the trembling lips of the cornetist. Now,
how does that diaphragm do all that?
1t is feat as comprehensive as if one
should play Guilmant's Grand Cheur on
the organ with one finger.
It is funny sight to see party Of
people attached to service pipe from
the photograph by series of rubber
hose pipes. There they stand with
foolish grin on their faces, wagging
their heads to tho time of the music
which they hear and nobody else does.
O, yes, one can hear the phonograph
without an ear tube or a big funnel,
but it's little wee thin bit of tone,
spectral, like the ghost Of voice long
dead. BY listening closely to the little
rig-a-ma-jig that is set vibrating by the
indentations in the cylinder one may
hear the faint squeaking. which when
heard through the ear tube is the full
blare Of military band. Unfortunate

what the side-show man used to call
''the smale sem of daime, tain cents"
one may put a rubber nozzle in each
ear and hear Cappa's band play the
latest waltz just as naturally as if one
were in Central park, New York, on
Sunday afternoon in the sweet summer
time.
"Bub! Bub!'' goes the big bass drum,
AMI ''Oom, Doom, -poom-poom-
poom,' remarks the big bass horn that
curls around the neck of the fat Teuton
who sits in the far corner. The clario-
nets melodiously shrek and the French
horns coo their long, cloying, sweet
notes, which make one think they are
clumsily making believe to be pigeons.
There is something so silly about the
French horn. You hear the piccolo
skating round on the dizzy heights OF
eight or ten leger lines above the staff
and you hear the E-f1at cornet, so vain,
so conceited, SO dashing, SO lookat-me,
providing itself to the fore, you hear
(you can always see) the tenor-drummer
playing away with his eye bent on his
nusic-book with as much interest as if
his score was not a string of notes all
on one space, instead of being strung all
over the staff like the other fellows.
Alas, you can not see Sig. Cappa in
all his glory, but shut your eyes and
in fancy you are in the midst of the
crowd in Central Park, and only little
way down the walk are the hideous
statues of Walter Scott and Shake
speare and a little way beyond you is
the beautiful lake with it's swan-like
pleasure-boats. The full band is play
ing, and think of it, every twang of the
cornet, every thump of the drum, every
trill and bit of Torture of the clarionet

by the tube, so is the gentle brushing Of
the tiny point on the waxen cylinder,
which is magnified into roar with oc-
casional snaps of torpedoes when the
delicate point strikes a chunk of dust
that one would just notice if it blew in
to ones eye.

Col. Weer, at the head of his division,
arrived at White River, Ark, at night and
found the stream impossible. The recent
snow had gone off with rain, raising the
water very fast. and the whole army was
hurrying off by forced marches to cross
the river before it rose, as it was so low
as to be forbade; but, with all his haste,
his forces were too slow. Col. Weer or
dered Capt. Stockton to cross his battery
'as soon as possible" Thecaptain asked,
"Where are the boatsg' Col. Weer. de-
termined TO beat Gems. Schotield and
Heron, who marched upon two other
roads, replied: Make them, sir. the
quickest way possiblel'
Capt. Stockton took two wagon beds Of
his mule wagons and covered them with
tarpaulins, and, making cable out Of
prolongs, was crossing his battery within
two hours. The next morning the rope
across the stream broke, and all attempts
to get across by swimming horses and
tying il to mules tails failed, when
Stockton drove plug into a shell and
fred the rope across. His lieutenant on
the opposite shore ran and picked it up,
and all things went ON swimmingly
again. This boat was loaded and a trip
made in ten minutes. The boat was in
constant use four days, and not a single
accident happened-Anecdotes, Poetry
