The Chestnut blossom.

The fall of the chestnut blossoms is
no great event in nature, but is full OF
suggestion. No sudden change follows
it, for time. The weather is only a lit
tie hotter, the air only little more life
less, the dust in the roads little
deeper and drier, the leaves of the trees
a little duller and dirtier, But we
know that change is going on. The
half-hour of the year has struck. Since
midwinter all the wonderful forces of
nature, those mysterious old but
ever new processes which have been
working under our eyes, have been
tending toward life, growth, increase.
The long hand has been moving away
from the twelve. But with the falling
of the chestnut blossoms begins that
other opposite change, not less beauti-
full when rightly seen, and not less inn
portant in the economy of nature,
which we call maturity, death, decay;
and when we see the chestnut bios.
SONS falling we are reminded that sool
the ripened chestnuts and the ripened
leaves of the year will fall together,
and return to the earth which gave
them birth. Field and Stream.

AS soon as a child is born in China,
the first question which presents itself
is it's initiation into the human family.
The pdtria potestas reigns supreme:
1t is for the father to say whether the
little life bud shall grow up to become
a citizen or citizeness of the Middle
KINGDOM In accordance with the
family law which is supreme in China,
both for the emperor and his meanest
subject, until the child has been Gifted
upr by the father it has theoretically
no existence. 1t follows, therefore,
that infanticide, or the failure to pro-
vide for offspring, receives the taclt
approval of the law. AS male chill
dren are a means of support in old
age, they are useful, and rarely, il
ever, destroyed. Daughters, how
ever, are a responsibility and an e1-
pense, and are frequently exposed.
Obviously, they are not over wei
come in the Chinese home. Mothers
of the poorer class exhibit considera-
BILE anxiety as to the matter, and fire.
quently consult the neighboring joss
house, which, of course, has pana-
cea for all woes. The Taoist priest
throws up the ''sticks" in order to as
certain whether the tree which repre-
sents the woman in the underwood
bears white or red flowers. If white,
then something must be done "to
change the earth;" for, as surely as
the sun rises, to her no male children
shall be born.

MANY THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

Biologists agree that many thous-
ands of years ago-they do not agree
on the number of thousands great
ice fields, like immense glaciers, moved
slowly out of the north over large
part of the United States and Europe.
These glaciers were so thick that they
have left on the top of the White
mountains powders which they had
carried hundreds of miles, and they
had much to do with shaping the hills
and valleys of New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, and New England. The marks
made by these glaciers as they ground
and crushed their way over the rocks
are still plainly visible in many places,
and it is easy to trace the large bowld-
ers they carried northward to regions
where such stone occurs in large
quantities.
Those were days of great things, and
among the huge creatures that roamed
about in the region Of the advancing
glacier was the elephas Americans,
or American elephant. Part of the
skeleton of one of these animals has
lust been unearthed at Carl Junction,
Missouri, and sent to the Washington
university. These bones show this
animal to have been from % to 80
feet long, and Is feet tall. 1t fed on
trees and bushes, and wagon load
of pine branches and cones would
have made light supper for this
monster. It's molar teeth had grind
ing surface nine by four inches in
size, and its tnsks were nine feet long.
Coarse long hair covered the big fel-
low from head to toes, and drove OF
such animals must have been an i'm
posing sight, even in the presence OF
the mighty glaciers.
In cave in France has been found,
scratched on bit Of ivory tusk,
rudepicture of one Of these pre-
historic mammoths. This picture is
supp 0sed to be the oldest known, and
was made by some man or boy who
was more clever than his fellows, but
who lived in a cave, ate raw meat, and
wore scanty clothing made from the
untanned skins of wild beasts which
the filthy and savage men Of those far
off times killed with clubs and stones.
1t may be, therefore, that human be-
ings saw the living animal, pieces OF
whose skeleton were dug recently
from beneath 20 feet of soil out in
Missouri.

Alcohol, in its action on animal mat
is somewhat analogous to arsenic,
&rphine or strychnine; it tends to
N pend decay in dead matter, and in
II bodies it paralyzes or infames
Eh congestion, in this way showing
1T it is the active enemy of all life
death'in disguise.
We put snakes and other animals,
IA sometimes dead men, into alco
] to prevent animalcule or microbes
n the dead bodies from generating or
5 ing on the starchy substances con-
ned in them; so all actual life in
bodies is suspended. But certain
3integration and death in it's most
tive form is produced by the cor
Bion of alcohol in living bodies, and
this way it proves itself to be an
lid, deadly poison to human life.
More than 1900 years ago the re-
N is of alcohol on the body were COM
red to the bite of serpent and the
5nging of an adder; and alcohol has
II changed its nature since. At the
esent time alcoholic beverages are
rtainly the most injurious, decep-
e and dangerouse elements of death
b destruction that exist, and the
nails of criminal courts prove that
is an aggravated public nuisance
berally.
Yet these beverages are so fascin-
A ng, and the poison in them SO in
ious, that the whole human race
5 been deluded and cheated for
busands of years, and more injury
resulted from their use than has
en- occasioned by all the woes of
Y n, famine and pestilence combined;
d now that science, experience and
enlightened reason have so largely
\ sipated such delusive cobwebs of
N petite, prejudice and passion, these
8isonous alcoholic beverages should
banished from society with all the
&elligent energy that an injured and
TRACED people can demand.

Every bride knows her power; ev-
cry wife comes to know her weak
ness. A good proportion of the heart
break of early married life is due to
the ferment of this knowledge. The
poor child whose lover gave mp his
cigars and his club with such angelic
meekness, finds that her husband can
smoke like a chimney, and leave her
alone nights to spend the evening
with his men friends. She imagines
that he cares less for her than he did,
which is a mistake in most cases.
Seven men out of ten love their wives
better than their sweethearts.
1t is simply that her presence is
not the absorbing excitement that it
was when love was new. The changes
are that the wife is become dozen
times more necessary to the man than
ever the sweetheart could have been.
He would feel her death far more
keenly, but he does not need to ad-
lure his heart to 'ssit still" whenever
his fancy summons her image. In
short. she is become the bread of eX
istence in place of the elixir. Now,
most Of US who have sense, would
prefer to be bread rather than elixir,
but there is no question that more
fuss is made over the elixir.

Elgin, Ill; "why shouldn't they? |
don't know any safer place on earth
to sleep in than church, and it seems
all the more secure to me when | see
the dangerous places chosen by some
people to do their doing in. At In
dianapolis the other day I saw a tin
smith asleep on the roof of house at
the very caves, and when two police
men stole up to and carefully awak-
ened him he got mad because they
had disturbed his rest. He felt secure
up there because he was used to it.
I have seen a man asleep on paint
er's scaffold, swinging near the top Of
one of Chicago's sky piercing houses,
and when I spoke to him about it later
he said it was nothing unusual; that
he often took post prandial nap in
that way. There must be some sixth
or seven sense in man that protects
him during sleep; that enables him to
wake up at desired hour, etc. [ feel

Are you busy, worried woman, who
comes home at night with temples
throbbing and every muscle aching
from fatigue? If so, you often say to
yourself: 81 am dead tired, and ]
haven't the ambition to dress or even
comb my hair for the evening"" Then
you lounge about and go to bed about
9 O'Clock with your head still aching
and your limbs just as tired as when
you first came in. The next time you
feel that way just slip off the waist of
your gown, brush your hair up on the
top of your head and battle the back
of your neck with hot water When
the pain is a little relieved wash your
face with the same reviver, and by
the time that is done you will feel
like brushing your hair and fixing up
a bit, or we are very much mistaken
The hotwater cure is quite as effica-
cious taken externally as internally.

Down in the Kennebec valley there
lives a gentleman of the old school in
handsome old homestead that
stands a mile or more from the near

quent intervals sometimes as often
as two or three times a week. From
every one of the journeys he return
ed on the latest train.
AS he was not in the least in a con-
dition to walk home, it was necessary
every night for the local stable keep
er to harness a horse and take him
home. This went on until the livery
stable keepers resolved that the man
must be demonstrated with. Therefore
the gentleman having arrived one
night from Portland at the usual
hour, and in the usual condition, the
livery stable keeper turned to his pas
senger and remarked shrewdly:
'Look here, Squire! If you don't
quit this kind of business pretty soon,
there'n be singing down to your house
some day, and you won't hear word
Of it!' Something about this admoni-
tion-the grim picturesqueness of it,
perhaps caused it to sink into the
mans mind, and he left off his trips to
Portland for some time.
