"FELlCE NOTTE!"

God send the little golden bees Of sleep
To murmur in the blossom of your ear
Their gentle summer music hushed and deep.
Their softest slumber songs to you, my dear!
And may the gypsy fortune telling dreams
Draw you beneath their painted tent ana
take
Your palm and tell you fo~rtunes-rosy CLEANS
Too sweet TO be remembered when you wakel
Once may your hyacinthine lids unfold
Bathed in the limpid pallor of the MOON,
The happiest stars in heaven may yet behold,
And pray and sigh for joy, and slumber soon

ELECTION returns are necessarily
slow under the Australian system OF
voting, especially in a sparsely set
tied country. 1t appears too that IN
every county the result has been so
close that the returns OF outstanding
precincts. however small, are requir-
ed to decide the election. 1t is SO
in this county with regard to many
of the Offices.

Dangerous Negligence.

Every one knows, in a general way, how
fatal habits of carelessness may prove.
Yet few mothers-we say mothers be-
cause the training of the young is mainly
in their hands-are sufficiently impressed
with the Importance of vigorously train
ing their children to habits of carefulness.
An old Latin proverb said, THE moth
ers of the timid seldom weep" We do
not wish children trained to timidity, but
to thoughtfulness-to considering the
probable consequences of their conduct.
Certainly, in the transition period from
childhood to youth, the formation of right
habits in this respect can be begun.
81 didn't think" should not be a full ex-
cuse for many little misdeeds or for a
costly piece of carelessneSs.
If the habit of negligence is once formed
it will assert itself through life-possibly
in a disastrous way. If habit of careful
ness is formed it will be o lifelong benefit
probably beyond all that its possessor
may realize.
Stagings are constantly giving way, re-
sulting in death or broken bones, because
those who put them up were careless in
their construction. A friend of ours, a re-
tired householder, never had an accident
of the kind during his long life. He had
formed the habit of assuring himself that
every stick of timber and every nail was
sound and that every nail was well driv en-
home.-Youth's Companion.

Rules for Building School Houses

The state board of health has issued q
circular treating of the building of school
houses, which contains the following in
structions: School houses should be built
in places that are quiet and free from dan
gers of various kinds, and ON dry ground.
The Fairgrounds should be ample, sunny
and protected from cold winds. In regard
to heating and ventilation, stress is laid
on the Importance of a capacious fresh air
inlet when either furnaces or stoves are
used, and direct radiation of heat from
stoves or steam coils is condemned. As
to lighting a schoolroom, the rule is laid
down that the glass surface of the win
dows should equal at least one-fifth Of the
floor space of the room; that the principal
light should come from the scholars left,
and if possible the light should be taken
from the northeast east or north, the pref
erence being in the order in which the
points of the compass are made.
With this end in view it is recommended
that the schoolrooms all be placed on one
side of building, with corridors, halls,
stairways and wardrobes on the other.
When possible the schoolroom wall oppo-
site the principal light should be reserved
for the blackboard Blackboards should
not be placed between the windows or near
them.--Bangor Commercial.

In the Matter of Drink.

Yesterday afternoon the conductor and
driver of a Madison avenue street car had
a discussion about how much water u
horse should get on hot day.
They ought to put a trough there, u
said the conductor; that bucket they'r
giving that fellow will hardly wet his
throat
''If they'd put a trough there he'd drink
himself sick"
''Oh, he wouldn't"
81 say yes"
''And 1 say no. Take man. You let
him drink all he wants. The horse
wouldn't drink any more than he
wanted"
ga mans fool SOS a horse,' said the
conductor. Put a man in front of keg
and he won't stop when he's got enough.
Put horse in front of a trough and he'll
drink as much as man. Neither one of
'em likes to let any go to waste. and when
you have had as much to do with men and
hors as as i have you'll know something"
The driver was about to make funny
remark when the whistle blew and the
horses started off up town.-New York

A Tree Decided to Itseln

In one respect at least the Clarke county
(Ga.) court house is the repository of the
most remarkable legal document ever
drawn up by man. 1t is on file in the office
of the recorder of deeds, where it has been
for nearly a century. This unique legal
document is in shape of a deed, the grantee
being an oak tree. The tree as it now
stands is in front of the residence of Major
Stanley at Athens, on what was formerly
farm owned by Colonel w. II. Jackson
1t was an odd transaction all around, one
eminently characteristic of the grantor,
who was known as man of strong loves
and hates, having many of the former and
but few of the latter. He and the old tree
grew up together, and the leanings of his
peculiar nature caused him to reverence
the gigantic oak as though it were thing
of animate life.
When in ripe old age the colonel reflected
that he would soon be called hence it
grieved him to think of leaving the tree to
the mercy of any destroyer capable of
mind he went to the court house and re-
corded this remarkable instrument: 81,
W. H. Jackson, of the county of Clarke,
state of Georgia, of the first part, and the
oak tree giving location) of the other
part, witnesseth: That the said w. H.
jackson, for and in consideration of the
great affection he bears for said tree and
his desire to see it protected, has conveyed
and by these presents does convey and con-
firm unto said tree entire possession of
itself and of the land within eight feet of
it on all sides" From the tenor of the
deed the tree is not only possessor of itself,
but is Georgia real estate holder.-St.
Louis Republic.

Medicine from Corn.

A very fine medicine is manufactured
from the silk of the common Indian corn
L. has an active principle which is very
soothing to the liver and kidneys and in
certain cases is an invaluable part of the
treatment. 1t is n singular thing that the
plant which furnishes SO large a percent
age of our food should also give us an ex-
cellent medical preparation; but this is
not the only instance of the kind in the
history of medicine, for several highly
esteemed drugs come from ordinary plants
well known to every one.-St. Louis Globe

There is absolutely no difference between
mems and women's eyes, so far as the eye
itself goes, and any extra brilliancy the
latter may have is due TO a more copious
supply of moisture to the surface of the
eye-the moisture which, when too copious,
escapes down the cheeks as tears
AS for not being able to ted a glass eye
from a real one it is only an exceptionally
unobservant person who could fail to no
tice the difference after short time with
the wearer of it, This is due to several
defects in glass eyes which no manufac-
turer can overcome.
As for a husband never discovering that
his wife wore glass eye, that could only
be accounted for by supposing that he
wore two glass eyes himself.-London Tit

Elephants as riuape,e-s.

The penny-in-the-slot machine has
been adapted to the use of the elephants
at the Manchester zoo. When a visitor
gives the elephant penny the ami
NAL drops it in the slot and gets bis
cult. There is no use in trying TO de-
ecive the animals by half-pennies.
Those desPised coins are always flung
in the face of the giver. The other day
visitor gave a baby elephant n num-
Der of half-pennies in succession, but
all were thrown back. The animal was
then given two hah-pennies at the same
time. The creatures demeanor changed.
For more than five minutes he held the
two coins in his trunk rubbing them
together and seeming to be bordering
deeply. At last he dropped the two
half-pence in the box together, with the
result that the combined weight gave
him the desired biscuit, at which he
gamboled about in manner which ex-
hibited extravaC2nt delight.
