MAGIC.

When the sparse leaves left to the oak are
sere
And fray at their boughs, and night is near.
And the wind walls over marsh and mere
Hhere the after light lies dead and drear-
Then, ali that againl
Come days that have been
Dead many a year-for many a yeari
When the wild drake calls in the early
night,
When the plashy pools give back dull light,
And above in the gray void out of sight
focks pulse by on their inland flight
:. Then, alb for the dead
Sweet days that are fed
And their dear delight-and their dear de-
light!
--G.K. Turner, in Springfield Republican.

The real truth about uthe ATTEMPT IN

The real truth about ssthe attempt in
Japan to assassinate the Gzarewitchn has
reached the Berlin embassies from ST.
Petersburg. II appears that the Care
witch and his companions, having dined
freely, proceeded ID plain clothes into
the lowest quarter Of the town III which
they were staying, where they entered 4
s'tea saloon" in which a large and
rowdy company were assembled. The
CzareWitch and his friends appear to
have been somewhat exhiIartted, and
were assumed TO be band of not very
refined touists ton the SPREE a row
speedily took place, aud tho police were
called in, whereupon there was a rough
fight, Id the course Of which the Care
witch wa slightly wounded, by . pure
accident, and he and Prince George Of
Greece and their followers were The only
persons to blame. People here, says d
Berlin correspondent, are screaming with
laughter ~ the idea of the Emperor of
Russla having 80 hastily decorated his
Greek nephew forsaving the Czarewitch,
who was II danger Of nothing except 4
~pTison-celI fer tho night. which Prince
George would have shared with him, for
they were both equally eulpable. The

Jack Tar's PIea In His DIVA Paper.

The sailors of the United States flag
ship Philadelphia publish a little paper
which 10 called 'sThe Philadelphia
Print" A good paper it is, too. The
last edition is issued at Port-au-Priuce.
The whole paper makes n proud to De
an American, and shows that the intelli-
geuce OF the days when the Constitution
sailed the seas with 800 New England
stockholders on her triumphant deck have
not been followed by decadense. Among
other articles is one which should COM
menN itself to the Naval authorities. 1t
is as follows
sit sounds very pleasant and one is
proud to hear our new vessels spoken of
as being modern steel cruisers, all the
material aud guns made in the United
States, not a rIyet that is not American,
can steam twenty knots, fitted with cleo
tricity and telephones, and all have the
latest ideas, etc.-but with all this can
Jackmake a modest request.
s'In a number of ways Jack is not as
comfortable in the modern ship as he
was in the old navy, or in other words
these modern improvements are a good
deal like an Irish promotion, for all these
now ideas and modern science take space.
Jacks living and herthing quarters in
the modern ship arefpot as roomy or as
comfortable as in thsspak sailing arks of
aquarter of a centurPago.
ssOf necessity Jacks work is not as
clean as in the old ships, but still his
pride is just as great; hipship is his own
private yacht; he owns her while at
tached to her, yet ne provision is made
for cleansing himself after compartment
or double bottom work. Much less a
bath tub. In a number Of foreign men
of-war clean bathrooms are shown both
for fremen and crew.
ssCould not even a couple of shower
baths be fitted in the new ships, espe-
cially the larger ones, and then we would
laugh at hard work, for in the morning,
and when in the tropics, u shower
will refresh and cool us off and we'll be
ready for more work"
This coming as it does from the sailors
themselves, should have weight.-Neu
York Tribune.

Joseph Nimmo, Jr., tie Government
statistician, is of the opinion that s'at
the rate at which the Interstate Com
mission is now evolving decisions, it is
to be apprehended that in the course of
ten years the railroad lawyers of this
country, except those willing to study
themselves to death, will throw up their
profession in despair, for the reason that
it has become too much for them"

Quick Lunch and Sunstroke.

Americans in general are noted for the
habit of fast eating, and New Workers in
particular spare but a few minutes for
their midday meal. While this practice
of quick lunches usually ends in some
form of dyspepsia, there is another re-
suit far more serious. The best medical
authorities agree that sunstroke is far
more frequent after than before noon,
and there are two good reasons for this.
In the first place, the heat is most in
tense during the early part of the after
noon; and, secondly, after a meal the
stomach and other organs of digestion
are very much congested with blood.
The internal organs being congested,
the surface blood vessels are COMPARE
lively empty and the function of perspi-
ration i$ considerably interfered with.
sunstrock is apt to follow any interference
with free perspiration, and the process
of digestion interferes by drawing off the
blood from the skin to the stomach.
A light lunch properly masticated and
slowly eaten has but little effect in dis
turbing the circulation, but a hasty meal,
bolted and washed down by large
draughts Of water or coffee, necessitates
increased exertion on the part of the di-
gestive apparatus, and 4 much larger
supply of blood is needed to do the
work. Business men are often heard to
complain that in the afternoon they have
a headache, that they cannot work SO
| well. and that the heat seems to affect
them more. The statement is correct;
they do feel the heat more, and the rea-
son Is because Of the hurried, half-eaten
lunch taken at If business men
would only learn that this pernicious hab-
it Of rapid eating, especially in the mid
die Of q hot day, exhausts their energies
and makes them liable to sunstroke
heat prostration in some form ii rT'
would save themselves money. 14AG =.
