The pupils of dcaf-mute school at

girls-have been Systematically weighed

Some interesting facts have been noted,
one OF the most curious being an observ-
alton seemingly connected with the in
fluenza 1t has been shown that the
children's growth in weight has occurred
chiefly in autumn and the first part of
December with little increase for tho
balance OF the winter and March and
April, and diminution from May to
the close OF the summer. Last year
proved an exception. The usual results
were obtained until November %, but
in the four weeks following-during
which each child should have gained
over one pound, the girls gained moth
Ing, and the boys only two-fifths of the
normal amount. There was no change
in food or other material conditions, but
1t Is supposed that the appearance OF the
influenza epidemic affords the true ex-
PLANTATION. There were no pronounced
cases Of the disorder among the pupils
Though six Of the professors were at
tacked1, but resistance to the germs
which were present probably absorbed
so much vital force that the organs OF
nutrition failed to give the normal in
crease In weight.

THE MESSAGE OF THE MoRN

1 know the hush of misty morning woods.
Ihe dim green aisles, the night-damp ON
the grass,
All dew-impearled the spiders yiscious lure
Set to entoil where Summer oilers pass.
across the path are writ in shadow-runes
The lore Of leaves, the tales of waving trees.
The secrets told by Grant, gossip winds,
The whispered wisdom brought across the
seas.
1t seems the time half way 'twixt wake and
sleep;
The glamor Of the night cings to the day,
And Ger the wood broods yet the browse of
dreams,
AS mem'ry clings to love that's passed
away.
Not yet is woke the wood to care and pain,
And slumber still gaunt grief and cruel
strife
or orphaned nestlings and of nests bereft,
And tiny tragedies of insect life.
All! would my heart, that thou couldst learn
to heed
The message told in this deep, silent peace.
The stately calm of this sweet Summer morn
From vain regret, might yield thee, then,
surcease.

PROSPECTED WITH A GOAT.
How the Famous RAMS Horn Gold
Mine Was Discovered.


Mine Was Discovered.
Years ago, when Clayton County,
Idaho, was overrun with Indians, SAYS
the Omaha Bee, SO hostile that white
men stayed away, man mounted on a
large bay horse passed through the
country, and reaching Salmon City,
told of camping one night on creek
where he saw indications of gold.
Although nearly hundred miles
away, the country was then SO little
known, and miners were SO eager for
"placers" that prospecting party was
soon on the way thither. All they
knew about the place was what the
unknown man with ebay horse" had
told them, and the description was SO
plain that they found no trouble in
going to the spot, outside of the hard
climbing over hills, through deep
gorges and the fording of the river.
Once there they named the creek
and gulch Bay Horse, but found no
placer gold to pay for their trouble,
but there were lots of such game as
deer, bear, goats and sheep.
Climbing to the top of mountain
skirting the creek mountain sheep
was started up, and, running close to
the precipice, was pierced by ball
from the unerring aim of rifle and
he fell far below. The hunter soon
made his way down to the animal and
was rewarded not only by finding a
prize of excellent venison, but the
sheep had struck and knocked off some
galena ore with his horns.
The animal had not only uncovered
some of the riches of this mountain,
but his horns and the incident suggest
ed the name for the great Rams Horn
Mine, which has since yielded millions
in silver, gold and lead.
