The Grocer's Polite Horse.

A horse belonging to Brewer grocer
appears to hold the palm for politencss
just now. One day recently he had been
backed up to the door to receive his
load, so that the wagon stood directly
across the sidewalk. Turning his head
he saw some one coming on the side
walk, and deliberately, although those
in the store kept calling him to stop,
stepped into the road and stood there
with plenty of room for passing, mol
would he return in spite of all commands
until the traveller had gone on his way
rejoicing that he had not been obliged
to go out into the muddy street. t.-Renns-

Hypnotizing Ones Self.

1t is not difficult thing for some
people to hypnotize themselves; that is,
to certain degree. They assume an easy
position, sitting up or half reclining, and
breathe deeply aud evenly, and at the
same time rapidly. Very soon sleep en-
sues. And after retiring, if troubled
with wakefulness, it can generally be
quickly overcome by this simple pro-
cedure. Another way is to take an easy
position and steadfastly gaze at small,
shining object placed about two feet
from the eyes and little above their
level. Sleep will often ensue within five
minutes. - Chicago Herald.

pALLApE OF THE BABY.

Cheeks that are dimpled and PINK,
Twin roses abloom on a spray;
Red lips full of love to the brink;
Soft glances, that pensive or gay,
A world of sweet meaning convey;
Wee fingers that fiutter and cling,
A snowdrift of crumpled array
This is the Baby, the Kingl
What though he tips over my ink.
And drives my five wits all astraye
Shall grumble indeed do you think,
Because, in his innocent way,
He wakes me long hours before day
And wants me to walk and to sing2
Why not. If it pleases him, pray?
This is the Baby, the King!
Our fortunes they rise and they sink,
We let the world wag as 1t may;
Our lives narrow down to the chink
That encircles his Majesty. Nay,
Our lives and our fortunes we lay
At his feet, with his rattle and ring,
Content to adore him and say,
"This is the Baby, the King?'
Prince, you may boast Of your sway,
'Tis but an ephemeral thing!
The Empire of Hearts is for aye,
This is the Baby, the King.

The achievement of the naval ordnance

The achievement of the naval ordnance
officers at Washington in firing a pro-
iectle filled with emmensite through a
two-inch steel plate and exploding it on
the other side is something that the
Times Democrat thinks will open the
eyes of experts all over the world. This
feat is regarded as one of the most i'm
portant developments in the field of high
explosives. 1t is said that no doubt is
felt that the explosive can be successfully
fred from the new large .calibre rifed
mortar which the Ordnance Bureau has
under consideration.

WHEN TWILIGHT FALLS

When twilight falls in splendor drest.
His couch the sun seeks in the west,
FORWARD the toiling fisher wends,
And from the task the swain unbenda
With simple thoughts of home and rest.
A lingering thrush, his joy expressed
In one last anthem. seeks his nest;
And quiet with the few descends,
When twilight falls.
xhe lifting music in the breast
OF duty done-of fault contest
OF trespass softened by amends
OF love surprising love of friends
Ahs would-ahl would this were my rest.
When twilight falls.

eminent con tractors for military head
gear, was destroyed yesterday after

Operations on the Zambezi.

LISBON, October 15.-Conflicting re-
ports have been received here regard
ing the situation of affairs at the
mouth of the Zambesi river. One re-
port alleges that one of the British
sternwheel gunboats attempted to
pass up the river to prevent which a
line of Portuguese gun boats had been
anchored across the mouth of the riv-
er with instructions to passively re-
sist the passage of the British vessels,
and that she ran down and sank one
of the Portuguese warships. Another
report says that the English gunboat
have not yet started from Zanzibar.
The officials at the admiralty and
the foreign Office discredit the report
that British gunboat ran into and
sank Portuguese gunboat at the
mouth of the Zambezi river.

been shot at several times, and the
land-grabbers held secret meeting,
at which Mr.. Brophy was condemned
and his life plotted against. They
have considerable interests in that
section, but found it best to give them
up rather than remain and be killed
