LIFE AND LOVE.

our Wedding Day.

(For the Four and Fiftieth Anniversary of
our Wedding Day.
A bright spring day, long time ago.
Their spirits buoyant as d feather,
Eyes filled with light and cheeks aglow,
When Life and Love set out together.
They reck not how the winds may blow,
Nor what the skies forebode the weather,
AS hand in hand, in sun and snow,
Glad Life and Love stray on together.
They wander where the roses grow,
Or DER the hillslopes and the heather;
The joy today, enough to know,
SO sweet, with Life and Love together.
The years have sped. Through veal and woe,
stronger and dearer grows the tether
Which bound their hearts SO long ago,
And still knits Life and Love together.
Through tears and trials theirs to know
The peace within, which passeth show,
Where Life and Love are joined together.
Times ceaseless surges ebb and flow
Joys SUBMITS to Pain saddest neither;
The comomn lot, for high and low,
Where Life and Love have borne together.
Life's eyes are dim-Love's step is slow
Still, hand in hand, they fear not Wh1ther;
AS when, with Hopes first morning glow,
They plighted youths glad troth together.
For, as the road grows dark bel W,
Comes to those hearts no doubling, whether
The upward Way be light;-they know
Nor Life, nor Love, not theirs, together.

TRAITS OF WILD BEASTS.
Much Clawed and Bitten William
Winner Tells About Them.

His Worst Scars are Tokens from the Pan

ards.
Mr.. William Winner, or at least what
there is left of him, is in charge of the
animals at the circus. He has been SO
clawed and bitten that he looks like the
composite photograph of lot of German
students, but he laughs at his scars as if
he never felt wound. For thirty years
he has made himself agreeable to large
variety of animals, some of which have,
in their turn. behaved to him in manner
which Mr.. Winner feels justified in call
ing beastly.
Some of the results of this association
are broken nose, deep hole in the
forehead, and missing finger. These
are only a few of the most important of
Mr.. Winners scars. He says he cannot
even guess at the total number he
wears, but as he got twenty in single
encounter with panther, some idea of
his supply may he gained. For life of
ad venture tiger hunting in the jungles
of India doesn't seem to be in it with
taking care of the animals in circus.

Winner, meditatively rubbing his brok-
en- nose with the remaining three fingers
of lis right hand. "They have had their
bad days, just, as people do, and even
the best of them get cross once in awhile
And it doesn't do to be careless with any
of them. There was the panther that
gave me my twenty scars. We had
trained him for the parade; that is, to
let man ride in the wagon with him.
He had never shown any ugliness, but
was afraid of him, and said he wouldn't
go unless we put collar and chain on
the animal. So | went in, put the col

panther sprang right on my back.

s.THE ROAR or SUN SPOTS"
Interesting Experiments in This Country
and England.

Nothing has been heard lately of Mr..
Edison's attempt to make the roar of sun
spots audible by means of an electro
magnetic device connecting the earth
currents with telephone. The idea was
tn at the impulses believed to be trans
mitted from the sun to the earth when
great spots are forming on the solar sur
face might be translated into sound
waves, thus, in sense, enabling us to
listen to the voice of the god of day
when his temper is disturbed.
Recently, an experiment of a similar
nature has been tried in England by
Mr.W. H. Pierce, and apparently with
success. During the magnetic storm OF
last March, which seemed to be connect
ed with disturbance is the sun, telephones
were inserted in some of the principal
telegraph circuits, and they gave out va
rionS sounds. Sometimes the noise was
like the twanging of musical string or
wires; then again it resembled whist
ling; some observers heard revebera-
tions in the telephone like the rum cling
of heavy carts. Hccasionally,h igh-pitched
notes and screeches were emitted, fol-
lowed by low musical sounds like the
laps of waves upon beech
While these strange noises were given
forth from telephones, attached to tele-
graph lines-one was the Liverpool Ham
burg wire-auroral lights, white. green
and rose-co;ored, were seen in various
places playing up and down the sky, and
the earth appeared to be tingling with
electric currents.
Evidently there is still "a great oppor-
tunitv for discovery concerning the
rigin and nature of such magnetic
storms and their relation, if any, to the
sun; So far. speculate has held the
field in this direction but few facts
brilliant discovery may illuminate the
whole mystery with a food of light.
Then. perhaps. we e. shall hal XXI. know whether
Mr.. P:erce's telephones sing and whistle
and shrek, while the heavens shimmered
with light that was not of the stars. =

Senate Democrats. ARE than the remarks
OF one of them that, i'll fixing the duty on
certain articles, the rate had been ad,

to make up the difference between wages
here and in Europe. Ii there is one pro-

vised the census reports that show there
is more difference in wages III the nted
States Of men working at the same in

paid here and those paid in any foreign
country. Moreover, it is notorious that ,
in many, if not in most industries, Amer
leans do, in the same time, from third
more work to twice as much as foreign
ers. The moment Democrat advances
the wages theory to account for high
rate OF duty, that moment he has be

The Senatorial committee is not likely
to make much capital out Of an attempt
to compel certain newspaper correspond
cnts to divulge the sources of the ,ntorma-
ton On which they based charges that
the sugar trust had had altogether too
much influence in the make up OF the
tariff bill, The same sort OF investiga-
ton has been attempted before and has
always ended III the retreat OF the Sena-
tors from a field barren OF results So
long as the valuc of Il Washington cor
respondent to his employers lies in the
amount of exclusive news he is able to
forward, ust 50 long will he refuse to
bctray the sources OF that exclusive in
formation.
Nevertheless it may be that the public
interest suffers under this well established
rule. 1t is to be presumed that the men
who gave the exclusive information in
this case were able to assure the CORES.
poudcn. of its substantial accuracy. or
else it would not have been printed.
Suchbcing tie case, the newspaper mems
irtormants have precisely the intorma
ton needed in the investigation now on;
and it is information that the whole
country is interested in and which the
public demands,
We do not see, however, that the sit
uation IS materially different from that
created when any information is given
by one gentleman to another under the
expressed or implied understanding that
he is not to bctray the source OF his
information. Even II it could he shown
that public interest demanded that
the original source OF the information
should he known, the consent of the
originator to that effect must first be
had, under ordinary circumstances at
least. So it is in the case now on III

TO KEEP IN HEALTH.
A Physicians Advice on Breathing Throug
the Nose.

A Physician's Advice on Breathing Through
the Nose.
"There are many little things that
one might do, if one chose, that would
be conducive to health and long life,"
said a physician, in recent CONVERSE
ton. "We are beginning to learn that
the air is full of disease germs, and
that we are continually inhaling them.
For this reason it is advised that peo-
pie keep their mouths closed as much
as possible when going through dis
'tricts where any contagion prevails or
where there is decomposed animal or
vegetable matter. Once in while q
person should take the trouble to clear
the head out thoroughly after breath
ing air laden with nauseating smells,
especially if they come from offensive
matter of any sort. Garbage and de-
caying vegetation are prolific sources
of disease. 1t would be good plan if
children were taught from their ear
liest childhood to use their handker-
chiefs, giving the nose vigorous blow
ing after encountering any vile odors.
OF course, no harm might come from
them; but, all the same, it is possible
that some of those bad smells, which
are caused by decomposing matter,
may enter the system and lay the
foundation for long train of ills. An
ounce of prevention is worth great
many pounds of cure, and in nothing
is this more true than in the one item
of keeping all evil influences out of the
system. IN. Y. Ledger.

TO MEASURE AN ACRE.
with Rope and Rings Even One Persox
Can Do 1t Quickly.

with a Rope and Rings Even One Person
Can Do 1t Quickly.
Few farmers know the size of their
fields or how many acres they contain.
1t is desirable-in fact, Indispensable
for good work that farmer should
know this, otherwise he cannot appor-
ton seed or manure for it; nor can he
tell how much time it should take to
plow, harrow or cultivate it. good
cotton cord, the size of plow line,
should be kept for this purpose. To
make one, buy sixty-seven feet of cot
ton rope, one inch round; fasten ring
at each end, and make these rings pre-
cisely sixty-six feet apart. This is four
rods. Tie n piece of red rag in the
center. One acre Of ground will be a
and one-half wide, equal to sixteen by
ten rods, making 160 square rods to an
acre.
The advantage Of the rings is that
one person can measure also by driving
a stake in the ground to hold the rope
while he stretches it out. The rope
should be soaked in tar and then dried.
This will prevent its shrinking.
Last year a neigbbor of the writer
had heavy sod plowed by contract at
So. so per acre. Three persons stepped
it off. One said it was four acres; an
other made it little over five, and the
third said it was three and a half acres.
The contractor sent over and got this
rope, and all five men measured 1t, and
it was found to be just three and half
acres He had paid to have the grass
cut off it for three years one dollar per
acre or five dollars each season, count
ing it to be five acres in extent, thus
losing four and half dollars through
ignorance.
Get a measuring line, and when not
in use put it away SO that the hands
cannot get at it, or they will be very
apt to cut piece off it to tie up har-
Eess, thus making it worthless for
measuring representations Amer
