Nobody sits in the little armchair;
IL stands in the corner dim;
But white haired mother CARING there,
And yearningly thinking Of him,
Sees through the dusk Of the long ago
The bloom Of her boys sweet face,
As he rocks so nlerNly 20 and lro.
With laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds a book in his hand.
Sometimes pencil and slate.
And the lesson 10 hard 10 underst stand,
And the figures hard TO uiste;
But she sees the nod of his fat hers head,
So proud OF the little son.
And she hears the word often said,
NO fear for or little one
They were wondering days. the dear sweet days
When q child with suny hair
Mas here 10 scold 10 kiss and TO praise,
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back In the busy years
When the great world caught the man,
And he strode away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van
But now and then in a wistful dream,
Like picture out Of date.
She sees head with q golden gleam
Bent o'e pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day,
The day OF her young lfes spring,
When the small armchair stood just in .b<
way,
The center of everything.

ing such a type OF. vessel, but we shall
not permit YOU TO sail her out OF a

that the vessel can not earn a living

country, she is freely able TO load full
cargoes between the northern portioa
OF the Continent OF Europe and the
Mediterranean, between which ports
she has already made one successful
voyage, and is now prosecuting a

tonnage she can carry a heavier cargo
than any other type Of vessel-and

Electric Fishes.

About fifty species OF fishes have
been found TO possess electrical
organs. tut their electrical proper
ties have been studied In detail only
in five or six. The best known are
various species OF torpedo belonging
To the skate family found in the
Mediterranean and Adriatic seas. the
Gymnotus. an eel found In the la
goons in the region Of the Orinoco, in
South America the Malapterurus,
the raash, or thunderer fish OF the
Arabs, a native Of the Nile, the
the Niger the Senegal, and other
African rivers, and various species OF
skates (Raia) found in our own seas
Ii is curious that the Nile Is rich in
electrical fishes, several species Of
pike-like creatures (Mormyrus and
Hyperopisus) possessing electrical
organs the structure OF which has
been quite recently investigated by
Fritsch. The electrical fishes do not
belong 10 any one class or group, and
some are found in fresh water, while
others inhabit the ocean.
Two distinct types OF electrical Or
gans exist One Is closely related In
structure TO muscle, as found in the
torpedo, gymnotus, and skate, while
the other presents more OF the char
acters OF the STRUCTURE OF secretng
gland, as illustrated by the electric
organ OF the thunderer fish. Both
types are built up OF "A vast number
OF minute - indeed, microscopical-
elements, and each element is sup
piled with a nerve fiber
These nerve iibers come from large
nerves that originate In the nerve
centers-brain or spinal cord-and In
these centers we find special large
nerve cells, with which the nerve
fibers OF the electric organ are CON
nected and from which they spring.
We may therefore consider the whole
electric apparatus as consisting OF
three parts: Q) Electric centers in
the brain or spinal cord, (2) electric
nerves passing to the electric organ,
and (3) the electric organ itself IL

1--WE usually think OF the cities as
ccnters OF cultivation, said college
professor recently "but my observa-
ton convinces me that there Is more
reading do in the farm-houses than
there Is I'm the city"
Undoubtedly this gentleman was
right Reading habits are the ex-
ception rather than the rule among
the majority OF people In the cities
These people are TOO busy TO read,
but not too busy TO go To theatcrs,
or tase ball matches, or promenade
the streets. The life OF the city Is
unfavorablc TO reading habits
The people OF the farm are very
busy, too, and generally regret that
so little time is left them for the i'm
provemeDt OF their minds Neyerthe-
less, few farm houses are unproyidcd
with periodicals OF various sorts.
Many farmers families possess ex-
cellent books OF their own, with sets
OF encyclopedias in which they are
accustomed 70 '1ook up" subjects
The state OF things on the farm,
especially in the winter, encourages
evening reading instead OF discour-
aging IL. it is a change from the
farm work-a delightful peep into
new world.
The farmer who wishes his boys
and girls To acquire habits OF reading
can cultivate IN them these habits
nowhere so well az in his own sitting
room or living room. Books from
the village library. good periodicals
regularly subscribed for or taken with
reading clubs and a book now and
then bought with the children's own
earnings, will he reac eagerly, IL the

"A specimen OF what Kentucky can
do in the way OF producing stalwart
sons and daughters" said proud
native OF the Blue Grass country, II
might mention the old Joe Morrison
family OF Bou bon County Anybody
OF the present generation who ever
lived In Kentucky will remember old
Joe Morrison's family. The family
consisted OF Joe and his wife and six
sons and three daughters Joe stood
feet in his stockings, and weighed
2l0 pounds His wife was the same
height exactly, but she weighed 266
pounds. The Oldest son, Tom, was
also q feet 4, and he weighed 1856
Iounds. Jim topped his brother Tom
two inches In height. but he wasn't
as heavy by seventy pounds Their
sister Sarah was a slim girl, weighing
only 30 pounds. but she could look
over the heads OF both Tom and jim,
for she stood feet 81 inches.
"But John was the big boy OF the
family. lie only lacked an inch OF
being seven feet high. and he weighed
300 pounds Sister Mary was a
midget OF six feet two, and only
weighed li0 pounds. Elijah wasn't
very tall, either, being the same
height as his sister Mary, but he was
OF pretty fair heft, tipping the scales
at 2l2. Matthew was six feet two,
also and weighed go, while Eli,
standing six feet four weighed less
than 200 The youngest girl, Martha,
was six feet three and 100 pounds in
weight She would undoubtedly have
been the giant OF the family, for that
was her height and weight at the age
OF II, a few weeks before she died.
When these measurements were
taken, "A few years ago, the family
was altogether, but since then old
Joe and mis- wife have died, and the
boys and girls were married and scat
tered about the State. don't know
what their progeny have done TO keep
