THE OLE EXILE

A youth to manhood growing,
With dark brown curls flowing,
Ger brow and temples glowing.
Icame across the sea;
And now my head is hoary;
But land of song and story
Green Isle of ancient glory
My heart ia still with thee.
Thy hopes still chung around me,
Thy bonds forever bound me
And on all occasions found me
Within the midst of those,
Whose love was ever paid thee,
Who met to cheer and aid thee,
And ut distance made thee
A terror to tiny foes.
Long through this sad sojourning,
My heart and brain were burning,
With hopes of yet returning
To Erin, glad and free; +.
Ny hopes were unavailing,
Ifeel my strength is failing;
And still that bitter wailing
Is drifting DER the sea,
But have yet, thank Heaven.
Four gallant sons, of seven
MY Irish wife has given,
70 soo'he my life's decline;
Four youths of noble bearing,
OF spirits high and daring,
Whose hearts are ever sharing
Those cherished dreams of mine.
And should my dear land eyer
Renew the old endeayor,
Her cruel bonds to sever,
Though can strive no more.
Four soldiers brave I'll send her.
To aid her and defend her
And thus still can render
Allegiance as of yore.
I have one gentle daughter
How fondly have taught her
OF Erin, 'er the water
An island green and fair;
And marked her bright eye shining,
As, on my knees reclining,
I kissed her. while entwining
Fresh Shamrocks in her hair.
Her mothers songs she sings me,
Sweet thoughts of home she brings me;
The secret pang that rings me
Her brt asst can never know.
But Irish love, so purely,
Rams through, I rest securely
Thereon, and say that, surely.
twill never nurse foe.

Utes and NavajOs.

No one has ever been known to get the better of Navajo Indian in trade. Navajos are as superstitious as they are shrewd and have a mortal fear of a camera. Nothing will induce them to pose for their pictures. The Utes are equally difficult to photograph.
 What are you going to do with that?" asked handsome Ute on the San Juan river of a Salt Lake Tribune correspondent.
 ''We want some Ute pictures for the worlds fair to put with the white mans and the Navajos."
 ''That's we'll enough for the white man and the Navajos," replied the Ute, 'but it's bad medicine for us. As soon as Ute has his picture taken he gets sick and dies. We do not want that tool in our country. It is bad medicine"
 Nothing will induce a Navajo to touch fish, much less eat it. Swing a fish in the face of a Navajo and the bravest will run. Who will explain?

Electric Lighting in Spain.

Spaniards, although slow in the adop- tion of many improvements, are de cidedly not so in regard to electric lighting. A large number of the prin- cipal towns, as well as many very small ones, have installations of their own. The latest venture is on the part of the owner of some water power near the two very limited towns, Elgalbar and Eibar, in the Spanish province of Wis caya; these towns will shortly be sup piled with electric current for both lighting and power purposes. The nee essary working power will be furnished by the water of the River Dova.

That Little Alteration, However, Made
 Quite Difference in the Document.
 Private John Allen, of Missisf ippi, had case in the supreme court the other day, says Washington corre- spondent of the Louisville Courier Journal It had been dragging along for good while in the lower tribunals and when it was reached in the higher body the opposing counsel presented brief history of the cause so far as it had gone. The justices had listened attentively to the lawyer, and when he had finished Mir. Allen was asked if the opposing counsel had stated what was strictly true.
 eff your honors please" said the astute Mississippian. ''I can best an swer the question with little story. Some time ago sheriff of one of the counties in my state died. There was another gentleman residing in the county who thought he could fill the official shoes of the deceased to nicety, so he proceeded to draw up a recommendation in his own behalf for appointment to the vacancy and then secured his neighbors signatures to it. He recited in the document his numer- ous qualifications for the position, and stated, among other things, that MT. Jones was strictly honest He carried the paper to old Judge Smith and asked him to sign it.
 ''The judge put on his specs and care fully read the paper over. Then he aOuphed and said:
 "'Jones, I'll sign this here recommen- dation if you'll let me change one word in it.
 "Jones glowed with satisfaction, for the judges signature was a power in the premises.
 "'Cert'ny, judge, cert'ny,' he cordial ly remarked. One word can't hurt the paper. Now, what word would you like to change, sir?'
 "'Well,' replied the judge, I just want to scratch out the word strictly where it precedes honest and insert the word 'tolerably."
 The grave justices laughed and the case went on.

YOUNG OLD WOMEN.
It Is Strange That the Majority of Very
 old People Are Women.

It Is Strange That the Majority of Very
 old People Are Women.
 It is an acknowledged fact that a great age is attained by women oftener than by men. The true reason, prob ably, lies in the quieter and more reg ular life usually led by women, whose nervous systems and brains are, conse- quently, not worn out so quickly, as a rule, as those of men, says Pearson's Weekly.
 One of the most famous female cen tenarians was the countess of Des- mond, who lived to be one hundred and forty-fve, and died in the reign of James l. from the effects of an acci- dent.
 This wonderful woman found her self, at the age of one hundred, so lively and so strong as to be able to take part in a dance, and when she was one hundred and forty she travelled all the way from Bristol to London-no trifing journey in those days-in order to attend personally to some business affairs.
 Lady Desmond is, however, quite thrown in the shade by French wom- en, Maria Prion, who died at St. Co., lumbe in June, 1S36-it is said-at the wonderful age of one hundred and fifty eight. Toward the end of her life she lived exclusively on goats milk and cheese. Although her body was SO shrunken that she weighed only forty six pounds, she retained all her mental faculties tO the last
 It is an extraordinary, but incontest- able fact, that some women, at the age when most people die, undergo sort of natural process of rejuvenation- the hair and teeth grow again, the wrinkles disappear from the skin and sight and hearing reacquire their for mer sharpness.
 A Marquise de Mirabeau is an exam pie of this rare and remarkable phe- nomenon. She died at the age of eighty-six, but few years before her death she became in appearance quite young again.
 The same thing happened to nun the name of Marguerite Verdur, who at the age of sixty-two, lost her wrin- kles, regained her sight and grew sev- eral new teeth. When she died, ten years later, her appearance was almost that of a young girl.

IF THE OCEANS WERE DRY.
They Couldn't Be Filled Up 4 gain Because

They Couldn't Be Filled Up Again Because
 the Rivers Would Disappear.
 Suppose the ocean bed were empty, how long would the rivers of the world have to pour themselves into it before it was filled again, presuming there was no loss by evaporation?'
 Answer by the Brooklyn Eagle: This question, or one very like it, has ''gone the rounds for a good while. It's terms seem to infer that some things have been forgotten in formu- lating it, as will be seen. The ocean and seas on the surface of the globe, representing 145, ,G00.000 square miles, with an average depth of 2,000 fath- oms, are calculated to contain 3,270,G00 billion tons of water. If this were all evaporated and the basins left dry, it has been computed that, at the rate of thirty-six cubic miles per day (the esti- mated flow of all the rivers in the world), it would occupy 35,000 years to replace and create a complete circuit of the whole of the seas as they at present stand. But this required a further assumption, namely, that the rivers would continue to flow with their present capacity, which would, in fact, be impossible if the ocean bed were empty and dried up. If such a thing happened the river beds would soon follow suit and be also empty, as the sea is their great source of water supply. It is estimated that every year a layer of the entire ocean fourteen feet thick is taken up into the clouds and returns to the earth in the shape of rain, keeping it's springs and rivers supplied with water. Stop this supply and rivers of the world would soon be mere dribbles of water, which would shortly and quickly disappear, render ing it impossible for them ever again to fill the sea to.its present extent.

History of the Pota to.

It has been proved beyond doubt that at the time of the discovery of America the cultivation of the potato was practiced, with every appearance of ancient usage, in the temperate re- gions extending from Chilli to New Grenada, at attitudes varying with the latitude. The name of the discoverer of the potato is unknown, but Du Can dolle sums up the history of it's discov- cry as follows: ''The potato is wild in Chili in a form which is still seen in our cultivated plants; it is doubtful whether its natural home extends to Peru and New Grenada; it's cultivation was diffused before the discovery of America and was introduced in the latter half of the sixteenth century into that part of the United States now known as Virginia and North Car olina, and the potato was imported into Europe between 15S0 and 1885, first by the Spaniards and afterward by the English at the time of Raleigh's s voyages to Virginia"

THE MEANEST MAN.

He Robs a Doctor of a Nights Rest to
 Secure an Eight-Mile Ride.
 The meanest man in all the world lived some years ago at a small town near Zurich, in Switzerland, if the story that is told of him be true. One dark and foggy night, so the chron- icler of Harpers Young People asserts, he knocked upon the door of physi- clan of Zurich, and when the medi dicine man appeared in response to his sum- mons he cried out: ''Oh, doctor, make haste; my wife is dangerously ill!''
 The doctor, noting the unpleasant quality of the night, uttered sup pressed growl of impatience, for the village to which he was summoned was about eight miles out of town. How ever he decided that there was noth- ing for him to do but go, so he ordered out his carriage and the two drove on through the damp, cold night. Just before they reached F- the husband of the sick woman alighted on some pretext or other but did not return, and after driving into the village the physician found nobody who needed his assistance. A week later he re- ceived a note, without signature, ex- blaming the mystery:
 ''Dear Doctor: am exceedingly obliged to you for giving me lift in your carriage, for I found it impossi- ble to procure another conveyance and itwas dreadful night. hope you will forgive me this once"

Taking No Chances.

There is a certain judge in Chicago who rather brides himself on his vast and varied knowledge of law. The other day he was compelled to listen to a case that had been appealed from a justice of the peace. The young prac- titioner who appeared for the appel lant was long and tedious; he brought in all the elementary textbooks and quoted the fundamental propositions of law. At last the judge thought it was time to make an effort to hurry him up.
 Cant we assume he said, blandly, ''that the court knows little law itself?"
 That's the very mistake made in the lower court" answered the young man; ''I don't want to let it defeat me twice" .--------

The South American Hammock.

Picturesque as the hammock is, it can hardly be said to be popular in this latitude, even when the heats of sum- mer commend it's use. This arises partly from the fact that the hammock commonly sold is not made upon scien- tific principles. The South American hammock is twice as broad and half as long again as any, one sees upon lawns and piazzas hereabouts. When prop erly swung this large hammock enables the tallest man, by taking diagonal position, to lie straight and almost level, with the head slightly elevated. To lie thus in such a hammock is to in sure safe and comfortable sleep.

cHAsIIssp BY A COW.
An Incident Which Tends to Show That
 Cattle Are Intelligent.

Cattle Are Intelligent.
 A cow and a steer-the latter two or three years old-were the only occu- pants of the barnyard where the occur renee took place, writes Allen Pringle. A batting of hay was put out to them, the cow taking possession. The steer wished to share it, but the COW, like some higher animals, was selfish and was bent on taking the whole of it. and as often as he would maneuver around from side to side to get bite she would drive him off at the point of her horn. The steer was so persistent that at last the cows patience gave way and, taking determined and vicious charge on him, punished him severely, though he was her own off spring, says Popular Science Monthly.
 The steer felt badly hurt, not only in body but evidently in mind as well, and immediately started out of the yard and off down the lane toward the pasture where were the rest of the stock, believing vengeance at every step in language which was unmis- takable to the bystanders and which the mOInST well uuuGfSIOCu, as S1o ceased eating and listened intently to the threatenings of what was to come. When these died away in the distance she resumed her ration, but with evi- dent apprehension. In due time the steer was seen returning, bringing with him a companion larger and stronger than himself. As they ap~ preached the rumblings of rage and revenge could be again heard, which grew louder as they came nearer, The COW took in the situation at once and was now terror-stricken. As her assailants rushed into the yard she lodged them and rushed out at fife and-death speed and away toward the rest of the stock in the field with her pursuers close on her track.
