WHEN APPLE BLOSSOMS FAIL.

when apple blossoms fall, the sky
IL blue ~ southern waters are,
And fleets of cloud at anchor lie
Against the dim horizon bar;
And list the bluebird flute and call,
while bobolink pours out his tune
Through all the morn and Afternoons
When apple blossoms fall,
And Earth's green robe about her clingss
Pinned into place by blossoms sweet
As ever bent beneath the feet,
And woodsy odored things.
when apple blossoms fall. seem
To walk again beneath the trees.
And hear, as In q waking dream,
The sleepy drone OF honey bees
And life is love. and love is ALL
1t makes Of Earth enchanted land
As on we loitor hand In hand.
While apple blossoms fall;
The bluebirds flute, the thrushescroon,
And through the golden afternoon
We wander on In sweet content,
With Gods blue skies above us bent
With song and bloom and sunshine blent
In one glad symphony;
The world seems made for you and me
And life In love, and love Is all.

trap, can't get out and no one else can
The person outside having probably
guessed the reason OF his nom admission,
now knocked ON the door and asked who
ives within. To her unbou nded surprise
and relief she recognized the voice of Mr..
Allison. But how could she let him int
One way presented itself to her-it
seemed the only one. She did not hesi-
tate long. A few indescribable move-
ments OF her nimble fingers, the bonds
fell away and she quickly crossed the
room.
"Mr. Allison" she called, IL am going
to unlock the door now, but you must
not come In for q minute" Then, turn
ing the key, she hurried back to the safe,
and reversing the little operation she had
just gone through, was again prisoner.
When Mr.. Allison entered he looked mt
her with much surprise, as well he
might; but he comprehended the situa-
tion even before she began to explain.
"How careless Of me to leave SO un-
wieldy an affair for you TO manage" he
exclaimed, self-reproachfully. "Had
not come back should never have for
given myself, though / scarcely thought
it fortunate when found must lose my
train on account Of the key TO my strong
box In the safe deposit vaults, which /
forgot to take with me-"
While he was speaking she moved
aside out OF his way, and a half dozen
rapid turns OF the little knob enabled
him to throw back the bolts, so that
only the opening OF the door remained to
accomplish her fresdom. Here an un-
foreseen difficulty presented itself. The
cloth, which had been shut into space
seeming scarcely large enough to admit
the breadth OF a hair, acted az a wedge,
and made IL impossible to start the door
by ordinary means.
"Don't try any more, Mr.. Allison" she
begged, seeing the tremendous effort he
was making, "you will hurt yourself, I
fear"
"You are quite right" he answered,
Frightening mp, al must apply my
strength more scientifically. II you will
be patient few moments longer, I'll 60
and get some help" The help he brought
was a tough, hardwood stick, which he
used as a lever, prying against the ham
die until, after several efforts, they had
the satisfaction of seeing the obdurate
door yield.
81 hope never shall do anything quite
so foolish as that again." said Millie,
with a nervous little laugh, as she with
drew her imprisoned skirt, and smoothed
the creased fold.
'If you ever should chance to meet
with a similar misfortune, may be near
at hand to come to the rescue" he re-
turned, smiling.
No doubt her blush and pretty look OF
gratitude repaid this effort at saying the
proper thing, which she was inclined to
think he meant, for she had never yet
known him to be wasteful of his words.

Fish That Bald Nests.

"One of the queerest fishes In the world
Is the gouramis," said an ichthyologist
to w ashington Star reporter. cit Is
native to the fresh waters OF Cochin
China, Farther India, Java, Sumatra and
Borneo. Specimens have been known to
attain a length OF six feet and weight OF
10 pounds. The flesh is SO delicious that
efforts have been made to acclimatize the
creatures In many other =countries, but
thus far these attempts have been sue
cessful only on the island OF Mauritius.
''About thirty of them were imported
into the island OF Cuba and planted In
ponds some years ago, but, although they
grew and were healthy, they did not
breed. Accordingly, after awhile the
prospects for propagating the species be-
came so hopeless that the Governor had
them served up one by one upon his table
upon state occasions. The same difficulty
has been met with elsewhere.
"The gouramis are chiefly remarkable
for the fact that they build nests like
birds. At the breeding season they pair
OF, each couple selecting spot among
water plants and forming a nearly spher-
icnl nest, composed of peculiar kind OF
floating weed, which grows in tufts on
the surface Of the ponds, and plastered

inches in diameter, It's construction oc-
cupying the fish for five or six days.
Where they are propagated their task is
made easier by placing in the water
branches OF bamboo, to which bunches
of the grass referred to Is attached. The
gouramis take this grass and with it make
their nest in the submerged branches OF
bamboo. When 1t is finished the female
deposits her eggs in it to the number OF
from 800 to 1000.
"While the eggs are undergoing the
process OF incubation the parents guard
the nests watchfully, rushing fiercely
at any intruder, and this care for the
safety OF their young is continued after
the latter are Matched. During infancy
the young ones find refuge in the nest
from a thousand dangers which would
otherwise threaten them, and the grass
composing the nest furnishes them with
their earliest food. When they are a few
days old the small fry begin to make short
excursions from the nest, always in
charge OF their parents and swimming
together in shoal. This is continued
until they are able to look out for them
selves" F"

Another Mckinley Bill Victory

One more victory for protection and
the Mckinley bill. When heavier
duty was put on cotton ties mn lie of iron
cry went up that this meant ruin IN
the planters in The South The tarff
previous to the passage of the Mckinley
act WAS 81 per cent, Which was the
equivalent 10 from Sill To Sl2 per ton
At that time the lowest price these
ties we're ever sold at wrs y cents pei

was made S33 60 per ton, and on Thurs
day of last week Messrs A. Il. Whit
ney & Co, announced that they are sell
ing cotton ties, made of steel FAR supe-
rior to any iron tie ever imported. a; ,
CENTS per pound.
To a reporter Of Now lo k city Mr.
Whitney said: "When the duty was al
most trebled they said we couldn't make
cotton ties in this country, aud tina. we
would simply drive he planters to ruin.
As soon as the Mckinley bill was passed
many plants have started and now you
ace the result. There are now 30 600
ions made here which were formerly i'm
ported, and the price is lower than it
ever has been before
When cotton ties were entirely unpro-
fccted the price was as high as six cents
per pound. Under the 30 per cent
duty it was two and one half cents, and
now, under what was called an excessive
dry the price is only two cents per
pound and better article is produced
than ever before. So. instead of ruin

the Mckinley law has reduced the cost

Why the Democratic Party Continues

In the South, that ''the Wing party

explain why the country should be 50

account for its presence it IS on the
ground that opposing forces are thereby
forced in to action aud the principle of

The constitution of the State provides
that all civil officers appointed by the
Governor, except those therein excepted,
shall enter upon the discharge of their
duties in the month of May. THIS pro-
vision was doubtless inserted to insure a
harmonious md systematic plan. In
the new school law it is provided that
the school commissioners shall enter
upon the discharge of their duties in
August. which is in direct Conflict with
the constitutional provision. Upon this
rock it is thought the new law will be
wrecked and declared void, as it will
likely will be taken to the court at an
early day. In the event Of the nulliica-
ton of the law, the present school boards
will serve out their terms without inter

Looking Through Us.

The electric light az the present time

Of healing although from the favorable
reports Of the Investigations Of eminent
foreign scientists il is probable that We

Eminent physicians continue to study
and experiment: ia order to realize one of
the most modern ideas of medical science,
that Of solving the question Of how far
the intero. Of the human body can be
made accessible to the eye Of the physi-
clan
The medical world is already able to
illuminate the interior Of the mouth,
throat, stomach, eye and ear with the
electric light. This is effected either
by the direct introduction of the source
of light into the organs concerned, or by
reflected Illumination. Small incandcs-
cent lamps, scarcely larger than an or
binary rea, are employed in The investi-
cations of the cavities Of the body, spe-
cial apparatus having been devised for
handling the light.
in he advanc, that has taken place in
the use of electric light in medicine the
most interesting method, in the opinion
of the London Electrical Re view, is that
by which the internal organs are illumi-
mated II the examination Of the throat
the lamp is placed in the shaft Of mir
ror, causing the rays Of light, which fall
into the pharynr, to be reflected to the
eye of the observer. Much more COM
plicated is he introduction Of the light
into the stomach, which is first evacuat-
cd by means of stomach pump. and az
forwards expended with AIR after the ap-
paratus has been introduced.
The arrangement for this purpose is
a long tube, which has at its lower end
a glass window. Behind this is placed
the small electric lamp connected BY
wires with the battery. The turning
on Of the current illuminates through
the window the interior Of the body, a
small mrrior making the view visible
to the observer. Foreign physicians re.

The Post hs incorrectly stated in a re-

Harvey Peak proprietors were still I'm

mill they should order, and also respect
ing the place where they should erect it -
Messrs. Fra er & Chalmers write 10
refuta'ion Of this misstatemcnt:
You have been misiuGormed regard

With power sufficient for driving a mill

our engineers are just completing the
erection Of the mill. 4
The mill as designed embraces all mod
cru improvements, aud its future will

These facts show how far from the

ney Peak company had made contract
for their mill nearly year ago, and the
mill is being completed, and yet within

that the proprieiors were still undecided

Messrs. Fraser & Chalmers are undoubt-
