Have you ever noticed, when you're buying berries
by the peek,
That those on top are large and ripe, without spot
or speck;
While those beneath are small and green-not
worth the looking at
And altogether worthiess-have you ever noticed
that
Have you ever noticed in the summer when the
DAYS are cold
The iceman leaves larger chunk than what your
box will hold;
But when the days are scorching hot and nearly
fry your fat
He leaves the merest trine-have you ever noticed
that.
Have you ever noticed that the man who's always
telling you
About the wondrous things he's done and what he's
going to do
Is oafing at the present time-his purse is busted
nat,
And won't you loan a nver.r-haye you ever
noticed that?
Have you ever noticed fishermen all have such
awful luck,
The mammoth FISH they nearly got fell back into
And while Of great fresh water whales they ever
They brig home tiny minnows-haye you ever
noticed that?
Have You ever noticed ONCE seekers, ere election
day,
Grasp everybody's hand and something kind and
fetching say,
And who when safe in ONCE, with salary big
and fat,
Forget the humble voter-have you ever noticed
that.

THE OLD MOORE HOUSE.

lay. have set ont 20 brv Valley Forge Under
the auspices of the Daughters of &c.
The movement has had the hearty indorse-
ment of Mrs. Harrison. the patriotic lady of
the White House.
In 1890 the Patriotic Sons Of America in their
national convention held in Washington. where
most OF the states were represented, begged
Congress 20 secure as public grounds and a ma
nonnl relic Temple farm az Yorktown. Va.
The same call has been heard from other pa
trlotlc organizations. but rs vet Congress has
done nothing in the matter
Temple farm contains about 500 acres and Is
situated most beautifully on the high banks OF
the York river on the east side of YORKTOWN.
from which the scenery across the river and
Chesapeake bay is grand. The farm forms the
battlefield on which the Americans fought their
last grent fight. This is the place where Lord
CORVALLIS gave up his sword Here 10 the
place where the command Ground your arms
was invented and the Englishmen marched ont
to obey the command. while the drum corps
played THE Worlds Turned Upside Down. -
This appeared TO them as very appropriate
name after having it all their own way and
driving all before them for so long.
In about the center of Temple farm stands
the old Moore house. in which the terms of sur-
render were arranged for the proud army and
navy with its naughty commander. CORVALLIS.
Well may il be said that this is the birthplace
of our American independence and that the
infant nation Was born in this house. for the
articles which were drawn up in this house
ended the war and constituted virtually a deed
to the land Americans loved so much. This in
strument also crowned Washingtons greatness
and made him Father OF his country" 1t is
likely that Washington spent a few of the
proudest hours of his life in the Moore house,
for this house was the headquarters of Wash
ington, Lafayette and Eochambeau immedi-
ately before and during the time of the sur
render.
During the centennial celebration of 1881.
which was held on this farm. the Moore house
was elegantly furnished and turned over to the
French guests, descendants of Lafayette and
Rochambeau. Since the celebration the house
and grounds have been visited by many per-
sons.

NNHANKS ARE DUE TO THE WOMEN OF
l. America for the revival Of interest in the
subject OF securing and preserving for the pub
lie grounds which are hallowed by their asso-
citation with the struggle for American indie
pendence. Many years ago suggestions came
from every quarter that such places should be
secured and beautified by the government Of
the United States. 1t was argued that it would
have most excellent effect on the rising
generations well as preserve the interesting
memorials for future generations. The three
pieces of ground mentioned most particularly
were that Of Washington's home Mount YER

ington wintered his ragged but brave little
army, and: last, but not least. Temple farm at
Yorktown, Va, on which the Americans fought
their last and decisive battle of the war and

are the visitors who find their way there and

the patriotism Of Washington and his army and
what they suffered to give us the inheritance

secured in this way there was q movement to
influence Congress to buy Valley Forge in Penn

to erect monuments on the most important

ANIMALS BECOMING EXTINCT.
The Alarming Decrease of Large Game in
Africa.

The Alarming Decrease Of Large Game in
Africa.
From the New York Sun.
An article by Mr.. Dryden in tho last proceed
ings of the British Geological Society says the
days Of the giraffe are numbered. A few years
ago herds Of seventy or eighty Of them were
often met in various parts Of Africa. Dryden
says that nineteen giraffes are now a large
herd. They have been hunted so merci-
lessly, both by natives and foreign sports
men, that they are rapidly becoming ex-
tinct.
The intellisen. African King Khama has,
however, taken the giraffe under his protection
and hopes TO save it from determination. He
has forbidden the hunting OF the giraffe in his
large domain, and in this way he hopes they
will multiply in his country. 1t is an interest
ing fact that Russia has preserved the European
bison from extinction by setting apart forest
Of Lithuania for them and permitting no one
to modest them.
Recent explorers in southwest Africa say tina,
the fauna has changed greatly during the last
thirty or forty years. DR. Henry Scbiicbter. in

dealer in artificial limbs: Did it occur to
you that in the big procession of veterans of the
Grant unwilling ceremonies there were very few
who had artificial arms or legs? noticed it
particularly, for it is n part of my business to
watch these gatherings of old soldiers. sent
out three Of my best men on the day alluded to
with instructions to give every man with an
artificial leg or arm one Of our circulafs. The
report which they brought back astonished me.
Nearly all OF the circulars we're returned un-
used. have noticed the same thing in a
majority Of gatherings of this character. 1t is
strange but true that of all the men who fought
m the awful conflict few lost their arms or legs.
Many were wounded in those limbs but ss conf
pared with the great number that were shot
few lost a leg or an arm. My business shows
that there are more artificial legs than arms.
There are many men who have artificial legs
who are able to conceal the fact but do not
know OF a man with an artificial arm who has
ever fooled anybody with it One reason, of
course, is that we have not reached the same
perfection in making artificial arms as in legs.

A characteristic West Virginia or eastern

to the old-fashioned wagon tugged and stag

vehicle were ridged deep with yellow clay from
the last hollow passed, and the legs Of the
diminutive animals were daubed up to the
belly with the sticky compound of water and
virgin soil.
The antique driver sat upon pile of meal
sacks in the rickety wagon. looking even more
