OLD TIMES, OLD FRIF:'ns. OF D
LOVE.
There are no days like the good old days
The days when we were youthful

LC
There are no days like the good old days
.The days when we were youthful
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant fashionl
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world pd stake 'em,
As luxom and smart and clean of heart
Us the Lord knew how to make 'eml
They were rich in spirit and common sense,
And piety all supportin;
They could bake and brew and bad taught
school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin'l
There are no boys like the gool old boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown bare
feet
That dimplel the laughing heather;
When the pewee sung to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like ths COOL old love-
The love that mother gave us,
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us'
so we dream AMI dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow ten ierer, fonder
IS those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.

The Thief'S Eye.

The eye always indicates the charactef
Of the man. This is particularly true of
thieves, for the expert detective can tell
man is thief by looking him squarely
in the eyes, A well known Allegheny
detective. in speaking of this matter the
other day, said:
"Yes, sir, can pick thief out every
time. cant tell you what it is that
gives the man away except that it is the
expression of the eye. In the first place
there are few thieves that will look you
s9uarely in the eye unless they are
obliged to do 50. They will avoid your
glance as lon as they can, and even
when they do face you aud gaze steadily
at you it is always with the same expires.
sion. Although their eyes may be wide
open, and the gaze apparently steady you
will.see if you look closely that there is
something away back through the cor
nea trying to avoid you. have picked
out numbers of thieves by this little
lodging movement. never saw thief
vino was free from it.
Everybody has met that mau who
resolutely refuses to meet a steady gaze
for more than three or four seconds at
time. 1t is not fair to say that all such
persons are dishonest, In many tases
this popularity is direct result of bash
fuiless. A little close observation will
enable the observer to put persons in the
class in which they belong. The man
whose eye is almond shipped is almost al
ways dishonest at heart, if not in overt
act. The eyes OF some Of the most no
torious thieves in the country are of this
pattern, aud the expression given the
face by this sort Of eye is very striking"
Another characteristic thief's eye is the
one whose lower I'D is straight, while. the
upper one is more or less arched. The
straight lower lid is always noticeable;
however, the effect being q very cunning
aud fex-like e&pressiohi Detectives
uspally have very noticeable eyes, keen
and clear, although one of the best thief
takers that the writer has ever known has
big brown eyes, as innocent in their ex-
preston as are those of a frank and
honest school boy. This is his natural
expression, but when he becomes inter-
estcd in anything his lids close and his
gaze is as penetrating as that of an eagle.

SECRET THOUGHTQ

Ihold 1t true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings,
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results-or Ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
1t Is Gods law. Remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known,
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress by and by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes its fevered breath.
And after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished thought,
Back to your mind to make its home,
A dove or raven, 1t will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have vital part and share
In shaping worlds and molding fate
Gods system is SO intricate.

When Charlemagne and his knights Of
the Round Table were making war on the
Saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fight in
single combat for the honor Of their re-
spective armies The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge tho dreaded
invaders Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con-
sumption.
Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic
Tins while they are unconscious of its ap-
proach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has cured thousands of cases OF this
most fatal of maladies But it must be
taken before the disease is too far advanced
in order to be effective. If taken in time,
and given a fair trial, it will cure, or money
paid for it will be refunded.
For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short
ness of Breath, Bronchitis, Asthma, severe
Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an une-
qualed remedy. =,
For oil diseases that arise from torpid
liver and impure blood, nothing can take the
place of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. Nothing will, after you have seen what
it does. 1t prevents and cures by removing

1t would be very interesting to get exact
observations as to the habits of all the
lower tribes of men with regard to sleep
ing, for it is a point upon which a good
deal would seem to depend, it, as Tylor and
most of our anthropologists believe, mans
first ideas of a spirit world arose from
dreams. We know that most of our do
mestic animals dream, as is proved by their
movements while asleep, and the same
thing has also been observed in monkeys.
The effect of the position of the body
during sleep upon the character of our
dreams Is too well known to require COM
ment, for probably every one has expert
epced the very disagreeable Of sleep

The Author of "Die wacht am Rhein."

Little is known of Schneckenburger. He
died in 1s49 when only thirty years of age.
His father blacked boots and lifted trunks
in village tavern near Tuttlingen, but
was obviously of superior character, for he
eventually became a small merchant and
married well. Max did not go to the uni
versity; his father was too poor; but in
Tuttlingen he was thoroughly schooled
and then sent to Switzerland, where the
post of errand boy was given him in a
grocery store His short life was one of
hard work and small earnings, far from
his beloved fatherland, and seeing of the
world only what appeared in the course OF
trips made as commercial traveller. His
widow assures us that day never passed
that Schneckenburger did not kneel in
prayer for his fatherland; and his motto,
chosen at the age of fifteen, was this word
alone, "Deutsch."
In 1910 he wrote "Die Wacht am Rhein,"
as an indignant protest against the French
pretensions of that time, but the battles of
Gravelotte and Sedan had been fought be-
fore his country was made to know the
source of their inspiration. Schnecken-
burger is another of the many names that
humanity loves to honor, but which, alas!
humanity discovers long after its honor
has ceased to be of any material conse-
quence.-Poultney Bigelow in Harper's.

CAPTAINS RELIEVED,
Schley and Remey to be Given
Shore Duty.


Shore Duty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-There were
some important orders issued from the
naval department today, interesting III
view of the recent prospect of Chilian
war. Capt. w. S. Schley is relieved
from the command of the cruiser Baltl-
more and placed on duty in charge of
the Third lighthouse district, with
headquarters at Staten Island,
n. Y, relieving Capt. ii. F.
Picking, who is ordered to command
the cruiser Charleston, which figured
so prominently in the Itata incident.
Capt. George G.. Remey is relieved from
her command and granted two months
leave of absence. The Baltimore is to
be commanded by Capt. William White
head, who is at present OH duty at the
Boston navy yard. He will leave that
post on the 18th, and will take command
of the vessel as soon as he can make the
journey across the continent. Both the
Baltimore and the Charleston are at
San Francisco.
1t was stated at the navy departme Mt
this morning that these orders had no
bearing upon the Chilian episode. as
the relief OF CaptS. Schley and Remey
is matter of rule, those officers hav-
ing already served more than the regu.
lation time as commanders of vessels.
Their times expired some weeks ago,
and 1t was at their urgent request that
no changes were made as long as there
was prospect of trouble. Their relief
from their vessels at such period
would have been regarded as rather
severe, unless there were some specific
reason for the change.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Whatever may be
the intentions of the ministry regarding
the modifying of the Prussian ele-
mentary education act, the proceedings
in committee show that the ClericO-
Conservative majority are not disposed
to assume conciliatory attitude. The
clauses containing the most arbitrary
provisions have already been passed by
a vote of 16 to II. By an unaltered
majority the house rushed the success
siVe paragraphs of the act. needless of
the protests by the Liberals.
. The stories published in the papers
about the direct Intervention of the
emperor, and relative to his majesty
promising Herr Won Bennigsen, a men,
Der of the National Liberal party, to so
shape the bill as to preventHerr MIGUEL,
Prussian minister of finance, and other
ministers from resigning, seem like so
much gas. The committee has asked
Herr Miguel for detailed statement of
the annual expenditures under the
measure. The Conservatives got a
thorough setback when they found that
the new education bill would involve
An increased
of 100000 marks annually, which it is
proposed shall be raised on the income
tax. The opposition hold that this esti-
mate is not sufficiently large, as the
provision enabling any sixty families
living in one district who may claim
the right to have separate school at
the cost of the state will multiply the
schools and burden the treasury. The
Conservatives have almost decided to
drop the measure unless the financial
clauses Of the bill are moulded to suit
them.
Meantime the popular agitation is
spreading throughout the empire. The
Liberals in every state, recognizing the
fact that the victory of the clericals in
Prussia will enable them to triumph
elsewhere, are organizing demOnStra-
tlonS against the proposed new law.
The Berlin municipal council has voted
to postpone the building of communal
schools pending the decision as to the
fate of the bill.
The Court theater, at Stuttgart, was
recently the scene of popular mini
festation. During the performance of
Schiller's don Carlos" when the actor
playing the Marquis Deposa said,
Sire, give US liberty to think" the au-
dience rose and burst into prolonged
cheers. On the other side, at the con-
ference of Catholic bishops held at
Fulda, resolution was adopted approv-
ing the proposals and rendering the
congratulations of the conference to the
government upon its action.

Mr.. Mattullath, of indianapolis, at
tackled dealings in futures as 'wind
selling" that injured the producers.
The greater part of the trading in wheat
was done between October and April,
and in that time the farmer had to accept
the depressed prices caused by the
short seller. The owner of wheat, he
explained, saw the unlimited quantities
of wheat the seller of wind offered on
the market. became fearful that con-
sumption would never catch up under
such circumstances. lost heart and
dropped his contracts. Nobody could
tell which was the actual and which
was ''wind" selling. The hearing will
be continued Monday.
