vent them from rapidly shrinking in

feed either III the morning or at night,
She feels comfortable and wants to lie

FALLING LEAVES.

They are dropping, slowly dropping
Embers from tho flaming trees-
All thoir radiance and splendor,
Kindled by tho sunshine tender,
To tho earth they now surrender
And the Maynard breeze.
They are coming, softly coming
Amber, amethyst and pearl
With the ties of nature riveh,
Tempest tossed and madly driven;
Flashing lustre back TO hcavon
In their giddy whirl.
They arc fitting fitting
Fledglings of autumnal Light
From their lofty perches straying.
With each passing zephyr playing,
Bough and bush the course delaying
or their final flight.
They are hoyering-gently hovering-'
Over vale and rugged steep;
Covering DER tho bloom-lit spaces
Which the early frost defacct
Mantling tandcrly tho places
Where our loved ones sleep.
Yes, they're fal!:ng-sadly falling
Russell, crimson, gold and gray
Beautcous millions hcadlong lying.
With the winds ,iscortlant siyiing.
AT Our feet ignobiy lying.
Waiting dread decay.
They are teaching-fitly tcaclimg--
That which gladdens-that which grievel
There is nnusht OF earth abiding;
Bur, behind all nature hiding,
Is a hand our footsteps guidins
And tho falling leaves.

btsA rather curious illustration Of The
Esuperstitious belief in signs and omcns ia
ss5ust seen in the opposition to the name
given the new cruiser launched the other
day ut the San Francisco navy yard In
honor of that city it had been decided to
fcall the ship San Francisco, but no sooner
was the name announced than the Navy
Department began to get letters by the
bushel, declaring that it was an omen of
bad luck, and the vessel thus named
would inevitably 90 to the bottom with
all on board. The source OF this super
;tition nobody appears to know. There
are no records of naval disaster on which
il might have been based. Whatever it
WAS founded on, it had no influence with

Ii has often been charged that the poo
pic OF the United States, proud Of the
commanding position of their country in
Inc western hemisphere, and conscious OF
;hoir overshadowing strength, have been
unfriendly, bigoted, and coniemptuous in
their attitude toward the weaker nations
to the southwark. If this was ever true.
the Lcavcnworth Times declares. ii is
true no longer. The universal and
hearty interest shown in the PAN mcri
can Congress, and the cordial welcome
everywhere extended to the delegates
from the Spanish countries and
the Empire of Brazil demonstrate the de-
sire Of the American people for more in
Innate relations with their ncighbors be-
tween the Rio Grandc and Cape Horn
Intelligent Americans understand now
that there are other nations this side of
the Atlantic which not only possess album
dant natural resources, but energetic and
progressive citizens, and that the Arecn
tine Republic, Chill, and Brazil, for
example, are making almost as rapid pro-
gress in many respects as the United
States. If the fruits of the Congress at
Washington fall short of reasonable ex-
fcctations, it will not be on account of
any lack of good will on the part of the
American public toward the other nations

of age, and Frenchman. 1t was one
evening during the Franco Prussian war
that Bismarck entered his sleeping apart

surprised to find tiny baby boy curled
up asleep on his pillow. The mother
had left note saying that her husband
had been killed at Sedan, and despair
and want had forced her to give up her
child. Bismarck scratched his head
over his doubtful prize of war, but
finally accepted it and sent it by special
nurse TO Berlin, where he had it well
cared for. He has given the boy good
education, and he is now a model young
man and devotedly attached to the old
