The Legend of Chocorua.


The poet Whittier has his home in Summer
among the foothills of the White Mountains,
and in one Of his local songs he writes,
Through Sandwich notci the west wind sang
Good nloFrow TO the cotteri.ie
And once aenin Chocorua's horn
OF fshadow pierced the water"
Chocorua, which can be seen from the poets
home is a tall mountain perfectly bare on top,
and bereft of all vegetation There is native
legend in connection with it, rs with all old
Indian localities that is very interesting.
Chocorua was the Chief of great tribe who
dweit on the borders of hat Whittier calls his
broad Lake 05sipee" For years the tribe and
their mighty Chief were supreme, but one day
the white man came. The strange visitors had
conquered all the other indians, but Chocorua
was bound not to submit. For days and days
the battle ragged, until the Chief alone was left,
and he fed from the conquerors. The white
men followed him on and on, pressing close be-
hind, until the Chief sped up the rugged
mountain-side and left his enemies below.
Then he raised his hands aloft, and prayed to
the Great Spirit 10 grant his fnal wish and he
cursed the mountain on which he stood, and
ordered nothing to grow upon the summit
while the white man held the land. Long and
bard was his curse upon the mountain top. and
when he had finished night had come, and the
Chief leaped into the darkness and vanished
from sight forevermore. And runs the legend.
from that time forth the mountain was called
Chocorua. and the curse of the old Indian was
fulfilled; for to-day it is bare and bleak.
Such was the story told one Summers night
beneath the shadow of the mountain Just as the
moon outlined ii against the sky.

The Care of the Eyes.
TUarDer's Bdzdr.


Not long ago an advertisement was read in
which an opticau promised to examine the
eyes Of all who came to him free of charge and
to provide glasses for the same at moderate
rates. The object of this free examination was
evidently to provide customers for the sale of
the glasses and speetacles. The advertiser may
have been skilled oculist, and perfectly able
to provide for the needs of his patients, but is
it worth while to make the experiment? Any
one who has ever been threatened with blind
ness will protest against running any risk in the
blessed of all of the five physical senses. Blind
ness, or the thought of blindness. seems like a
living death, and only those who have exper-
fenced the fear can understand it. Do not take
any risks with your sight. Do not experiment
or allow others to experiment with your eyes
if they are weak or failing Economy of
money at the risk of losing your eyesight is
foolishness. The eye is one of the most delicate
of organs and easily ruined and the sight dc.
stroyed. There is no excuse for negligence in
the matter; there is no use to try home or
cheap remedies. If your sight is failing. if
your eyes are out of order hesitate not for a
moment, but consult competent oculist at
once, and seek none but the best Sight is too
valuable aud precious TO be trffed with. Those
who have suffered will tell, you the misery
entailed. There are hospitals where the eyes
are treated free In many cities by tho best
oculisis, so it is not question of money. And
the warning cannot be repeated too oftea-do
not trife with your eyesieht under any con-
siderption

Caste in India.
TBoston TrureIer.l


A story Just published in the Indian news.
papers gives some idea of what caste means in
that country 1t appears that sometime ago,
in tho neighborhood of Fyzabad, man of the
Ahir or cowherd caste was carrying young
calf home on his shoulders when by some acct
dent it slipped down and broke its neck. The
Brahams declared him to be outcast and SEN
fenced him to the severest form of Hindu ex-
communication for six months. They further
told him that he could not have committed a
greater sin than causing the death of q cow,
but taking into consideration that he was an
uneducated man, they would deal very leni-
entity with him.
During the period Recommendation he was
ordered to lead life of mendcancy. and with
a rope around his neck, and piece of the calf s
tail on his shoulders, he was TO perform pill.
grimages to different Hindoo shriues. The
members of his family were forbidden to sup
ply him with either shelter or food, under O
penalty oil undergoing similar excoE1munca-
tion. The Ahir recently returned to his viii
lage, but until after the publication ceremo-
nies he must live in temporary grass-thatched
house which has been erected for him.
A man of one of the lowest and most de-
graded castles has been selected to purify him.

Why Good Roads are Hard to Get.

Among the very foremost agtators for the
building of better country roads is ex-GOv.
James A. Beaver. of Pennsylvania. who made
this the subject of an executive message during
his term OF office. Governor Beaver has written
for The Forum an explanation why most com.
munities find it so difficult to get good roads.
The scsooi-tax, he says, we have become
accustomed to: so we have become accustomed
TO be taxed for charitable institutions, and for
the relief of the poor: but in most States the
habit of generations, so far as concerns the
Improvement of roads, has been the ineffective
system Of working the roads," so that most
men have not only had it firmly fixed in their
minds that roads not proper subjects for
direct taxation, but that the highways might
be made by q small contribution of personal
labor. 1t is this long and deeprooted habit,
and nnwillingness to pay direct sufficient
road tax that is the primary cause of our
national disgrace in having so few good high
ways; and the remedy lies in such an agitation
as is happily now going on in most States for a
keener public appreciation of the direct com.
mercial benefit of we'll built roads.

Mr.. Francis Galton, F. r. S.. F. g. ST. Chair
man of the Committee in charge of the Kew
Observatory has written letter to the London
Times relative to scheme for establishing com.

fusiug left no ground for those who were for
him to stand on. He would not be President

this further than the belief that no man will
ever refuse the Presidency when there is fair
prospect of his getting it.

Sherman leaned on Grant in the war whenever

Americus vespucius's Day.
Netp York Times.

Nep YORK Times
John Boyd Thacher Commissioner from New
York State to the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
tiOn, said recently that he thought a tribute
might appropriately be paid to the memory OF
Americus Vespucius by opening the Exposition
on May 5, 1893. The law now provides that
the buildings of the Exposition shall be for.
mally dedicated on Oct. 21, 1892 thus com,
memorating the discovery of the New World
by Columbus on the exact occurrence of it,
400th anniversary. This day, Oct. 21, may be
called the birthday of America.
On May 5. 1907, there was printed q little
book in ST. Die, Lorraine, which first suggested
that to the newly discovered quarta pars 0rbiS
should be given the name of America, and
thereupon deliberately and formally baptized
the fourth part of the world America" after
the Florentne discoverer Americus Vespucius.
This book was printed on the 7th of the Ka-
lends of May, 1907 april 25), which is equiv
alent to tho 9Th day OF May, as corrected by
the Gregorian calendar. This day, the 5th of
May, is the christening or baptismal day of
America. -->
Historical research has acquitted Americus
Vespucius of the charge of himself giving his
name to the New World.
The best historians of to-day believe in the
voyage which Americas Vespucius claimed to
have made III 1497. when he discovered the
continent, thus justifying somewhat. if not en-
tireiy, the name which the st. Die book be-
slowed upon it.
Congress did not fix any exact date for OPEN
ing the Exposition. 1t is simply provided that
the Exposition shall be open to visitors not
later than the 1st day of May" Congress at
the December session can provide for this OPEN
ing. The fifth day of May also falls on Friday,
which is another singular coincidence, as ID
was on Fridry that Columbus set sail from
Palos. Friday he first saw the land of the new
World. Friday he first reached Palos on his
return. and the 400th anniversary of the dis
coYery falls Oh Friday.

How Vaccine Virus is Obtained.

The preparation used to produce what we
call "vaccination," Is known among medical
men as vaccine virus to produce which it is
necessary to go through surgical operation.
the subject being young cow or even calf.
After scarifying the belly of the animal (the
parts having previously been shaved) the wound
is inoculated with virus from an animal already
in use. A sore is thus formed without lasting
injury to the beast and after week or 10 days
a thin vaccid matter begins to flow from the
abrasion. This pus or matter is the vaccine
virus of commerce. Goose-quils, which have
been scraped with knife uatil they present
a rough exterior, are rubbed in the virus. The
virus from one abrasion is sufficient to coat
10000 quilts, which after being so prepared are
technically called points" These points
when ready f.r shipment look like ordinary
goose -quils the virus coating not being visible

Upon the arrival of the Spanish squadron
and the vessels Of other Nationaliiies at Palos.
Spain, in the celebration of the 400th anniyer-
sary Of the sailing of Columbus. the Spanish
and foreign delegates, and the officers Of the
sh, ps forming the squadron, proceeded to the
church in which Columbus received Holy Com
munion before sailing on his voyage. After
waiting in the church for over an hour and no
priest appearing to conduct tho services, the
assemplage dispersed. The incident was the
result of misunderstanding.
Owing to the failure of the Bennington to

Another Cara Revolution.

The Mexican refugees on the Texas side of
the border are reported to be again on the war
path, and are endeavoring to work up another
revolutionary movement against Mexico.
Gen. Lorenzo Garcia, who commands the
northern military zone OF Mexico, with head
quarters at Meier, received word that q band
of revoIutionists had opened recruiting
station and established their rendezvous at the
Jabilene ranch below his city. Gen. Garcis at
once telegraphed the information to Gen. Frank
Wheaton. commanding the military depart
ment of Texas, and the latter ordered Second
Lieut.. Geo. L. Langh ,rne. of the 81 Cav.
stationed at Rio Grsnde City, Texas. to pro-
ceed with Q detachment of troops 30 men
from troops A and e. Immediately to the
scene of the reported revolutionary gathering.
The troops left two days ago and nothing has
since been heard from them.
1t looks as though the Mexican revolutionists
along tho Rio Grande border have entered

Mexico United States Marshall Paul Frick
and his posse are still securing for Catarina

They Did.

In the first years OF the civil war the 9th III
Cav. was organized by Col. Albert g. Brackett
in which there were several members of his
family. insomuch that it was called Brackets
regiment. or the regiment of Brackets. Col
Joseph w. Bell organized the 18th Ill. Cav, in
which there were q number Of the Bell family.
Not being altogether satisfied that 1t was right
to have so many of the same name fighting for
the Union, Col. Bell asked Secretary Stanton
about it:
at is all right" exclaimed Stanton; the
more the better, and hope the bells may ring
