Statistics are said to show that
young men do not, on the average,
attain full physical maturity until
they arrive at the age of twenty-eight
years. Professor Scheiller, of Har-
ward, asserts, rs the result of his OBJ
servations, that young men do not at
tain to the full measure of their men
tai faculties before twenty-five years
of age. A shrewd observer has said
that "most men are boys until they
are thirty, and little boys until they
are twenty-five; ;" and this accords
with the standard of manhood whic
was fixed at thirty among the ancient
Hebrews and other races.

The stocking of Alaska with reindeer
is a pronounced success according TO
the Rev Doctor Sheldon jackson,
United States General Agent of Edu.
cntion in Alaska. OF 40 reindeer
brought to Alaska from Siberia last
year but eleven died, while eighty
eight fawns were born, of which
seventy-nine were living three weeks
ago. The revenue steamer Bear made
several trips across the straits this
summer and transported thirty-seven
more reindeer to Alaska. The purpose
of the scheme is to furnish a reliable
supply of food for the natives and also
TO establish the use of the deer for
work purposes.

Your voice is thrush's, a fawns your tread,

A garland OF wild flowers is round your

And the lamps Of the forest light your feet,

Shake your crisp locks to the life-glving sun

Drink of your presses, that laugh as they

For the Ice King turks in the fields Of snow,
To rife your kingdom and lay you low,

RATS OF ADVERTISING,
THE PoPPrEs IN THE CORN.

When the mist in pearly columns
Rises DER the hilltops gray,
And the dews Of early dawning
In the grasses melt away,
Then the sun in softened spendor
Sheds his first rays thro' the morn,
Lo, they kiss the sleepy faces
OF the poppies in tho corn.
Der the scene there falls q silence,
All the twittering song-birds still;
As the lark, his far flight taking,
Circles toward the distant hill,
Up and upward, flies triumphant.
Earth-bred warbler, heaven-born,
Till a song steals down from cloudland
Der the poppies in the corn.
Slowly comes the hush of noontide,
Not leaf sways on the trees,
Not dew-drop on the grasses,
Not the whisper Of a breeze,
CLOVIS the sun in scorching fury,
One wee butterfly forlorn,
Painting, falls in dying struggles
On the poppies in the corn.
Soft a breeze comes rustling over,
Signing thro' the cedars tall,
Stirs the grapes in hanging clusters
On the mold'ring wine-clad wall,
Sinks the sun in amber glory,
Dies the day as night is born,
One wee star peeps through the twilight
At the poppies in the corn.

A Peruvian inventor has endeavored
to provide against the danger TO which
vessels are exposed when in the vicin-
ity of icebergs or other impending sol-
lisions by designing a means of stop
ping the vessel suddenly. A vertically
sliding frame on post at the bow of
the vessel has on its sides pivoted
wings which will expand transyersely
when required. The wings are held
in their normal position by means of
chains attached to a forward projection
of the frame, and other chains connect
ing the free ends of wings with the
sides of the vessel. A winch, the
mechanism of which is under the con-
troll of the officers in charge, is placed
on deck, and hold the chains or ropes
which actuate the wings. As soon as
danger approaches few turns of the
winch will throw open the wings and a
resistance will thus be offered to the
forward motion of the ship which will
have material effect in bringing it to
2 standstill,

An Absolutely New Form of
Alms.giving.
The lesson Taught by a Well
Known Charitable Lady.
Her Peculiar Charity and the
Wonderful Good it Does.

People often think that charity con.
sists In giving money, food or ra'..
ment to the poor. This is not so.
Sickness is the greatest enemy OF the
poor and gift which will cure their
sick and suffering ones 10 the very
highest and noblest form OF charity.
This lesson was impressed upon the
writer by that well-known charitable
lady. Mrs. s. McsIaster, of Watertown.
Mass, whose husband was for fifty
years prominent business man OF
this place. In the course OF converse.
ton she said:
Il suffered from debility and ner.
vous prostration for two years. ]
WIS confined to my room for three
months. the nerves of the heart,
stomach and bowels all affected. From
the slightest exertion my heart would
almost cease action and was in
danger OF death. and In several instan.
ces was supposed to be dying.
"My stomach was so weak that
could use only milk MS food for siz
months. and the bowels were Yer y
torpid. My condition was certainly
deplorable and life was but burden
! while In this condition young
man who had been greatly benefited
by DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. urged me to try it. The
result has been most gratifying to me
nh a IN nj

Titled to my gratitude. and | wish the
afflicted to have the benefit OF my OK

Since my recovery l have purchased
dozens OF bottles OF DR.. Greene's Ne r
vura and given them to my friends,
also to many poor people who were
unable to provide for themselves. and
have been richly rewarded IN obser
wing its good results.
II have resided In Watertown fol
fifty years and my husband was Q
business man there many years, and
the truth of my statemen can be
easily confirmed"
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
: nerve remedy Is indeed the most won.
derful medicine and curer of disease
ever discovered. and after curing
= yourself by Its use, do not forget to
i send a few bottles to some OF the all
