And now all meaner things have fallen
away,
ignoble arts and triumphs of the day.
From out the sombre earth, to left, to

Arise the countless blunders of the night;
Minute and stridulent, they blend and

Into one vast and solemn canticle;
Fieet-footed winds upon the leafy trees
Play at win their grander symphonies.
And ever the attuned soul is snote.
In swift response unto each finest note.
No austere moon sails on, serene and
proud,
With her shifting train of dappled cloud;
But uaio the limits of Heavens bars,
Shine forth tho punctual legions of the

Oh, pure compellers Of sublimer mood;
The humble heart meier counts it solitude,
To wait in exultation, mute and awed,
Ia divine company Of thee and God.

J. TIDFITT, N. D.

Gersham's Corners hadn't been stood
up so since the time that Abner Hubbs.
the blacksmith, married the Widow
Snively. The widow was not only old
enough TO be Abner's mother. but she
was the relic of ''Jedge" Snively. who
died leaving her sole owner of the big
tannery. That marriage was not
simply an event at the Corners. Il
was an epoch For years afterwards
every previous or subsequent occur
renee thereabout was fixed as to date
by the union of Abner and the widow.
Things never happened at Gersham's
Corners before the war; nor since
the war. : The death Of any one in
4he community, the selling out of some
one by the sheriff. or any similar hap
pening of Importance was remembered
as having occurred 1.-THE year afore Alb
Hubbs mar'd the Jedge's wilder in the
tan ry, or the year arter. as the
case might be. Even so unheard-of
a thing as a citizen of Gersham's Cor
ners being put up fer the legislatur'n
ieeted failed to overshadow the
Enthusiastically epoch. Absalom Burt
ley was elected to the legislature years
after the tannery wedding. He was
still serving his term when dispute
arose one day at the tavern between
Uncle Sol, the landlord. and young
Jep Sarly over something that had
happened in the history of the Corners.
'Wun, l know durn well, said
young Jep, 'tht it were just a year

And long after Absalom had served

Concerning Glass Eyes.

Good glass eyes come high, said
an oculist TO Buffalo News man. "In
the first place the greater share OF
glass eyes, so called, are not glass.
The best quality of artificial eyes is
manufactured in America by process
that is kept absolutely secret. These
are the lightest and best and will last
the longer. The Germans also make a
fine artificial eye. The best eyes are
made of stone. The German article is
cheaper than the American. The vein
ing in the foreign eyes is not so well
marked
What makes the trade proftable?'
'I'l tell you. One-eyed men are
likely to be rather scarce, and one
would think that having once stocked
up they would buy no more. But this
is not the case. An artificial eye gets
to be a nuisance after it has been on
duty two or three months. Another
one has to be purchased. This ex-
plains the reason for the lively trade
in these articles. There1l always be a
trade in them, and good one. too
How is it we don't notice a glass
eye in some menu
because they know enough to keep
still about the matter, and wear the
best eyes obtainable. In this way if
you notice anything at all peculiar
about their optics you imagine they
have squint or are cross-eyed.1

ORIGIN OF WORDS.

The word ''milliner'' owes its origin TO
Milan.
Mr.. John W. Massey, Of Plymouth,
Eng formerly of Philadelphia, writes to the
Record to suggest the word ''televoice'' as
a substitute for the telephone message.
The law of evolution works in language
as well as in other things. Twenty thous-
and words have been added to the English
language in the department of biology
alone since Darwin's discoveries
''Pseudopathy'' and 'pseudotherapy,'
have been added to the medical vocabulary
by Oliver Wendell Holmes The first Of
these words signifies the quack science and
the other means the quack method of heal
ing
The latest linguistic importation from
London is the verb ''to finance" which is
used to denote the process of furnishing
funds for a financial institution. It Is
rather worse, on the whole, than 'ssui.

]. TIDFITT. NJ. D.,
Doctor and Physician.


Although everybody at che Corners
knew who ]. Tidfitt, NJ d.. was. no
one seemed to think il was strange that
he appeared among them as a doctor.
All that stirred them up was that a
doctor should locate at the Corners.
The fact that only six months ago j.
Iidtitt, M. D., had been chopping logs
for his father, Nathan Tidtitt. over the
Blllingsville way. had not seemed as
yet to strike the Corners as surprising.
Previous to his log-choppine young
MIR. Tidfitt whose name was Jason.
had tried various methods OF getting
on in the world. He was a long. lank
youth. with a tow head, which head
had nothing in it but conceit. He
early quit going to school at Billings
vile because he said he knew more
than the teacher did and as two weeks
later he was discharged from the
Billingsville store, where he had been
hired as clerk, because he spelled
mackerel .'macrul, and couldn't add
up common row offigures. the teach
er must have been a good one. After
that Jason tried his hand selling light
ming rods, but his conceit and his
swagger in soliciting was too much for
the community and he gave up that
business. He turned his hand to other
things with the same result, and at
4ast he said to his father:
The trouble with me is th't this
deestric' hain't big enough for me. I'm
cut out fer the county seat, m thar's
whar I've got to git. !"
you jist git out inter the woods
with me n snake logsr' was his faith
er's reply.
And Jason, who was then coming
tweuty-one, got out into the woods,
and he was there chopping and snak-
in logs when the doctor at the county
seal circulated hand-bill stating that
he wanted a young man to take care
OF horse. Jason snapped at the job
and got it. 1t was in the capacity of
groom and driver for the doctor at the
county seat that he fitted himself in
six months to be a ''doctor" and a
physician, and he hung out his
single at Gersham's Corners with his
swagger and conceit increased ten-fold.
The prettiest girl in Gersham's Cor
ners, or in any of the adjacent districts,
was Betty Crane, but she had no
folks" Left an orphan when she
was toddler, she had been taken in
charge by the Widow Groner, who
raised her and made her pay well for
her raising. Betty at the age of
eighteen, was as innocent and modest
a girl as had ever grown to that age.
She was too bashful to join in the So
cial festivities of the Corners and had
never kept company with any of the
backwoods beaux; consequently, when
she and young Ben Lopy, youth
almost as innocent and unsophisticated
as Betty. went together one day to
Squire Fuller's and were married, and
went to housekeeping in one of the
tannery houses, people couldn't find
words to express their astonishment
aud the Widow Groner cut Betty out
of her win then and there. They had
been married year and more when J.

England VIII Need IL.

The German colliery-owner thinna
that the day is coming when the old
proverb about carrying Goals to New
castle will have become obsolete and
Germany will actually send coal 20
English markets. This prophecy Is
based partly on the working ont Of
England's best seams, but more par
ticularly upon the enormous improve
ment in transport through the great
network of waterways in Germany
which will be finished about ten or
fifteen years hence. The Rhine Ems
canal, which will be opened in about
four or five years, is to connect the
Rhenish Westphalian coal and iron in
dustry with the German North Sea
ports, from whence it is to be exported
and placed on the English markets at
cheaper rates than the home produc-
ton. The Oder-Spree canal already
in existence is to be widened so as to
enable larger barges. such as will be
used on the Rhine-Ems canal, to be
employed, and along this waterway
the Silesian coal will be brought to
Berlin and again through the Spree
and Havel to the whole Elbe district
and the North Sea-

Tidfitt M. d., came to the Corners.
j. Tid6tt Nj, d. had not received a
call yet either as doctor or physician,
and he had been for more than a week
at the Corners, staggering and bragg
ging, when one afternoon Ben Lopy
dropped in at the tavern and went in
Jason's room.
Doctor, y said he, Betty is ailin'
some, m we'm afeerd it's fever this
comm on her. D'y' think it's likely
to be anythin' this ketchin'?"
'More'n likelym said the physician.
AT this time o. year, more'n likely.
I'll drop over m look at her. =
Ben went home and Jason soon fol-
lowed him. He looked at Betty's
tongue, felt her pulse and shook his
head.
Its fever, sure, he said, I'm I'm
afeerd ketchin' one. I'll know by
t'mor', n then I'll know what to do.
I'll drop in ag'in this evenin'.n
Then Jason staggered out and told
everybody he met that there was go
ing to be case of contagious fever at
Ben Lopy's before two days rolled
round, and nothing could be surer.
He called again at Ben's in the even
ing and found Betty worse He left
powder and told them he would be
around the first thing in the morning.
To all anxious inquirers he said that it
would be case of ketchin' fever sure
unless it took different turn in less'n
forty-eight hours.
Aunt Sairy Mole heard about the
dangerous case of contagion that was
threatening the Lopys, and conse-
quently the whole community, but she
didn't seem alarmed.
Il hain't afeerd o. no ketchin' fever
l ever heerd on" she said, IAN I'll 90
down to Betty's tonight n see wat
the gin N snakeroot Il do"
Aunt Sairy went down to Betty's that
evening, but, as she said afterwards,
she didn't have to use the gin and
snakeroot. The next morning Jason
Tidfitt strutted into Lopy's in his ca
pacity Of physician and the first person
he net in the house was Aunt Sairy.
He came out again so soon that people
who saw him and were anxious for
news feared that the worst had come.
Jason wasn't staggering and he looked
very sheepish.
Is it ketchin', doctor?" several asked
him. lis it ketchin'?"
The doctor stopped.
If it is ketchin' = he said. 'you fell

clan, took his sign down that day and
left the Corners. The next heard of
him he was in raftman's tavern, down
the river, opening oysters.

And wait 10 meet sc there, forlorn-
Affair on ancient sands SIC rest,
Carven In stone, where ancient thought
Wrapt ye ia tcrrors shapes unhlcst,
Dreadful, by might Of ages wrought.
But not alone on Egypt's shore
Sleeps the great desert. everywhere
Where gladncss lived and lives no more.
There e a desert ~ despair.
Strange messengers. Your brown Of gloom
Haunt every c%rcatur born Of earth;
We follow 10 the darkoncd room:
We watch the awful hour OF birth.
We show the lovely wayside rose,
Whose antique grace Is born anew,
To eyes Of grief. Grief only knows
How tender is the sunsets hue.
Gods OF the desert! By your hand
Through the sad waters are we brought
Into a high ald peaceful land
To drink OF fountains else uusought.
