OUR BOYS.

When our boys wore knickerbockerA
And we girls wore pinafores,
remember how We fancied
They'd unlocked all VISIONS stores
Then, too, they had met and conquered
Half the big boys in their crowd
Where we're boys so brave and BRILLIANT
We had reason 10 be proud
And We gave them the devotion.
Blind, abundant without end.
Which a small girl gives her brother.
And-her brothers big boy" friend
Later. when they went to college.
And returned in uniform,
We all thought that naught so splendid
Fer was seen IN human form
When they told their college stories.
When they sang their college glees.
Where, We thought was ever music.
Where were voices like 70 thesei
But We did not say so freely,
AS In childish days Of yOre;
Yet think perhaps the laddies
Sought our good opinion more.
All. those happy days are overt
We, young men and women grown
Yet we hold with faith unfailing
There is no crowd like our own.
Time has brought US separation.
But, when spirits loving are.
Hearts are very near together,
Be our bodies near or far.
As OF old. We still share fully
In their sorrows or their Joys,
And this prayer is often offered:
THE All-Father bless our boysr'

A BARONET in AMERICA.
Amusing stories Told of the Young ST.
william Don.


william Don.
Sir William Don was handsome lad
who, when he came into his fortune,
spent it in gambling, in the space of
four or five years, and then went on
the stage. He was one of the most &C.
centric characters to be imagined, and
odd things always happened to him.
In America he always went about
under his title, and as baronets were
not very common in those days, his
manner of writing his name, "Sir VIII
liam Don, Bart" was sometimes mis-
understood. To his great amusement,
he was then addressed as MIR. Bart"
One story is told of him in illustra-
ton of his business habits. He had
hired a cab for short drive, and at its
close asked the driver If he had any
change.
NO said the man, and as the fare
was fifty cents, Sir William tore tho
bill in two and gave him half
One day he said to a friend; my
dear John, if you will take walk eth
me, will give you the great surprise of
your life. You will sec me pay bill"
And he did pay it, astonishing the
tailor even more than his friend.
He died in Australia, while still a
young man, poor and despairing. -

AN EDUCATIONAL QUESTION.
A Case In Which the Teachers Trim
mings Were Wasted.

A Case In which the Teachers Trim
| mings Were Wasted.
One pleasant May morning as rode
down into the valley of the Cumber-
land, from Hurricane Gap. noticed a
| log schoolhouse some distance from
the main highway, and as it was re-
cess, | thought I'd ride over and see
how the cause of education was pro-
crossing in the mountain Businesses.
The teacher, a long and lank PERSONAL
| ty draped in homespun, was sitting on
stump summing himself, and he
seemed glad to see me as | drew in to-
ward him.
"How are your | said in greeting.

getting along with your school. I'm

his kind, "'taint much in these parts,

seem to have a very good school,"
Bout ez good ez any NV 'em,

whats the matter with it?"
'Dinged eff / know"
what do you teach?"
"Joggerphy, 'rithmetic, readin',

'Trimmings?"
Eyes, grammar an history an SIGH
like"
oh" and I almost laughed. "Have
you any classes in these branches?"
mot now ! hain't."
''Graduated?"
"Quintuated."
"How?"
He got up from the stump and sat
down on a log.
Its that ez has shook my faith in
the educational business in these
parts, he said, as if gres tly disappoint-

INTERESTING SCIENCE.
Some of the Wonders of the Microscopic
| World of BACTERIA.


The most interesting facts of science
are sometimes concealed under hard
and repellent names Who would sup
pose, for instance. that such words as
''phototaxis" and "chemiotaxis'' really
cover very fascinating discoveries, for
the enjoyment of which no profound
scientific knowledge whatever is re-
quired. Phototaxis means the infiu-
ence of light on the movements of the
simplest living organisms The facts
that it includes are as surprising as
they are interesting.
There is kind of bacterium, shaped
like minute rod and of purple color,
which exhibits this influence of light
in beautiful manner. Indeed, it has
been named the light-measuring bac-
terium. If "a drop of water containing
these bacteria is placed under a micro
scope, and a narrow beam of light is
thrown upon any part of the field of
view, the organisms Immediately flock
to the illuminated spot until by their
great nun Der they turn that part of
the water to the color of wine.
Then, too, they discrimina te between
colors; for when Engelman threw in
stead of beam of white light micro
scopic spectrum into such drop, the
bacteria avoided the purple and crowd
ed into light of that color which is alb
sorbed in passing through their bodies.
Just so another bacterium, the Gu
glena, which is red or orange-colored
at the forward end, always advance
toward blue light when a choice is
given to it among the colors of the
spectrum.
Chemiotaxis is similar phenomena,
depending not upon light but upon the
presence of chemical agents. An in
stance of this is furnished by the be-
havior of the common bacterium termo
when in the water-drop containing a
little oxygen is disengaged. Immedi-
ately the organism flock to that part
of the water where the oxygen is
being liberated. Similarly other or
ganisms are attracted by sugar or by
some acid.
One of the most wonderful cases is
that of a kind of plasmodium, called
Badhamia, an organism that cons SITS of
transparent, structureless, living ma
terial which spreads itself along a wet
surface. When, near the edge of this
fiat, shapeless, yet living thing. a bit of
fungus is placed, that part of the Pad
hanna which is nearest becomes ex-
cited, and streams of living material
begin to flow through the mass toward
that point. Then the organism com
mences to grow out toward the fungus
and gradually envelops it, and the OPP
Grafton ends with the absorption of the
fungus.
These curious phenomena assume
new interest when we learn that what
we call Inflammation is result of
chemiotaxis. Whenever disintegration
takes place through injury inflicted
upon any of the living tissues of the
body, certain organic cells which exist
in the blood and other fluids congre-
gate at the infiammatory center and
feed upon the products of disintegra-
ton. 1t has therefore been suggested
that these 'chemiotactic cells are like
scavengers in the blood, which tend to
free it from infection.-Youth's Com
