Change.

In autumn. when the chilling blast
Sweeps over hill and hollow,
There comes regret for pleasures past,
But hope for those to follow.
The man who piled the fishing pole
With energy untiring
May shovel snow with all his soul
While neighbors stand admiring.
The man who most obliging strove
To tote the picnic hamper
From cellar-bin to kitchen stove
With coal, henccforth may scamper,
So do not sigh, oh, modern youth,
And weaken in Hfe's tussle;
There's occupation left, in sooth,
For each ambitious muscle.

"Mcrchants and TradcspeOple."
From the Washington Times.

r
Washington has a newspaper that cloaks
its objection to the extension Of civil SER
vice reform under a hypocritical criticism
for the selfish interests of Washington. In
other words, this newspaper believes that
a workingnan should not labor because his
wages buy bread for his family, but be-
cause the existence of that family sub
serves the evolutionary progress of the
race This is the sort of philosophical twad-
die that a Washington newspaper breaches

There were fifty-one men employed on
the city post-office building today. In its
primary arithmetical efforts The Star so
figured things as to make it appear that
hfty-one workmen could complete the
building by November 4, 1897, but stubborn
facts have overset theory so liberal to
the supervising architect and the con-
tractors. The new post-offlce will hardly

The only two papers in the country that
have made open persistent war upon civil
service reform have been the Washington
Post and the New York organ of Tammany
Hall. The Tammany organ has been
discreetly silent since the reformers of New
York turned down the Tammany spoilsmen
by such an overwhelming vote, and now
We have the amusing spectacle presented
of our esteemed nelghbor putting on lambs
clothing and murmuring plaintively that IL
there Is one thing more than another that
II Is a devout believer in ii is 1.-The genuine
virtues of civil service reform" This from
the Post. that has seemed to count that
day lost that wasn't devoted to ridicule
and abuse of civil service reform and all
who believed in II, Is diverting. but 1t will
not deceive anybody for a moment. In the
next breath, indeed, 1t betrays its true
voice. II says:
Those complacent prigs who lecture us
the beauties of emasculated government,
otherwise known as civil service reform.
should enlarge the field and elevate the
tone of their vaporings."
Quite as amusing. for the Posts points
cannot be taken seriously, is its contention
that the Board of Trade cannot move in
the line of its duties for the improvement
of local business conditions for fear that
such action on the part of the board
would belittle its influence" and put
clubs into the hands of the enemies of the
National Capital Just how the Board of
Trade could belittle its influence by enlarg-

enemies are who are to be supplied with

Dust In Nature.
J. A. RosAMoND,

Die Gartcnlaublc u-eipzig,)
Without dust there would be no
blue armament; the heaven would
be blacker than we see it on moon
less nights. On this black back
ground the glowing sun would
shine out sharply, and the same
sharp contrast of intense light and
deep shadow would characterize
the surface of the earth. There
would be nothing to subdue this
sharp contrast but the moon and
stars, which would remain visible
by day. The illumination of the
earth would be similar to that
which we observe when looking at
the moon through a telescope; foI
the moon has no atmospheric en-
velope, and, consequently, no dust
in suspension. 1t is due entirely
to the dust that we enjoy our soft.
uniformly drffused daylight, for
which our eyes are specially adapt
ed; and it is the dust which con-
tributes SO much to the beauty of
the landscape. But while the fore.
going explains how the dust makes
the whole vault of heaven light, it

ability of each and vote for the
best qualified among them. There
are four candidates for Governor
and many for State positions, all
Offices of vital importance to the
people. A good State government
is of much greater consideration
as to the welfare and prosperity of
the people than who should repre-
sentus in The United States Senate.
We fear our people are allowing
the United States Senatorial con-
test to absorb too much of their
thought and attention. We should
look we'll into the character and
ability for useful service to the
State of each candidate, and elect
the best qualified mon.
We have had one farmer Gov
ernor, B. R. Tillman. l have been
and am now we'll pleased with his
administration. l am in favor of
elevating another farmer to the
gubernatorial chair. Il will not
do to admit by our votes that we
have but one farmer capable to fill
with honor that high position. Of
the four candidates there are two
farmers, men of high character and
ample ability to fill the Office with
distinction and honor to the State.
I am for the Farmers Movement
in politics. l favor the election of
one of the farmers Governor of the
State. What say you farmers, and
on whom will you concentrate
your votes2 1t is time you were
beginning 10 think seriously Oh

odd years of age to gather around
her all of her descendants to the
third generation. This, however,
was the gratifying experience of
Mrs. Charlotte Mobley OH last Fri
day at her old home place, now the

large number of Florida relatives
were out here on q visit, it was a
happy idea to have a family picnic,
so this noble Christian woman
could rejoice in the presence of her
five children, twenty grand-chil-

The usual good fortune of preach
ers accounts for the writer and
family being present as the only
outsiders to witness the joyful re-
union.

there were no dust. Since scientists
began to realize the important part
played by dust in the economy of
nature, measures have been taken
to count the particles in a given

In London and in Paris at the
surface a cubic centimeter has
been found to contain nearley a
quarter of a million particles. On

Liberty or Death.

Exchange.
A convict in the penitentiary
from Edgefield by the name Of
James Hill, attempted to regain
his liberty Tuesday while doing
some work out of the penitentiary,
which he had been with others
sent to do. Without any warning
he dropped his rake and made his
break for liberty. The guard in
charge of the squad, placed him
self in an elevated position to catch
sight of him as he crossed a clear
land and at a range of hundred
yards, sent bullet through his
body. The ball entered just above
the left hip, near the spinal column,
Pand went through the body. He
died within a few minutes. A coro-
ner's jury found verdict that the
deceased came to his death by be-
ing shot by the guard in the dis
charge of his duty. Hill was SER
wing a sentence of 10 months for
larceny of live stock, and had but
a few months to serve. He was %
years old.

does not explain why it is chiefly
the blue rays of the white sunlight

does not explain why it is chiefly
the blue rays of the white sunlight
that are reflected, and only to a
small extent the green, yellow, and
red rays. This is dependent on the
size of the dust particles. 1t is
only the finest of them that are
borne by the air currents into
every stratum of air, and it is only
these fine, widely difused dust
particles that are of any signif-
canoe in this connection. Now let
US consider the mechanism oflight
and the extreme shortness of the
ether waves which constitute its
essence. These waves, although
microscopically small, vary con-
siderably in length. The fine at
mospheric dust includes many par
ticles large enough to reflect the
short blue ether waves, fewer par
ticles capable of rejecting green
and yellow, and still fewer large
enough to influence the long red
ethereal waves. The red light, con-
sequent:y, passes through the great
majority of the dust particles COM
paratively unhindered; the blue
rays, on the contrary, are inter-
cepted and diffused, and SO become
visible. This is the reason that
the finest dust-and SO, too, the
frmameut-appears blue.
So, then, the finest dust appears
blue. You may observe that the
wreath that curls upward from the
burning end Of a cigar is blue,
while the smoke drawn through
and exhaled is whitish. The par
ticles in the latter case have united
and become large enough to reflect
white light. So, too, in the coun-
try, on clear day. the sky is blue;
but in the city 1t appears whitish,
because of the greater number of
coarse dust particles in the air. 1t
is especially on mountain heights
that the sky is so intensely blue,
because the rarefed atmosphere
supports only the finest dust par
ticles. At great height the sky
would be almost black, if there
were no dust particles in e',er",
