The Stream Of Life.

Like q small streamlet on mountain side,
4 white thread glancing in the summeS 'an,
Lightly down leaping with . joyous sprins.
30 passes happy childhood's playful houi.
Next, through green dells and meath o'ershan-
owing crags
The growing stream with needless dow winda
on:
Now gladly lingering round some glowing isle
That smiles with heavenly beauty and allures
With promises Of perpetual delights;
Now 6ercely dashing down some rough Cos
cade,
Where rushing waters split on hostile rocks,
Scouting aloft the iridescent spray
Drifted In sunless clefts by swaying winds.
So pass the years Of youth. Our ripper ego
Il Ike the broadened rivers stately march,
Whose current slsckens, yet admits no pause
But passes field and coppice. tower and town.
Not wholly 'scaping from denling stains.
Yet toiling onward rcstlessly. Adown
IL smooth yet ever sliding stream We hasts.
Nor mark the progress Of it, quiet speed.

A Prize For Bald Heads.

A story from Hamburg, by way of Mil
waukee, narrates that wealthy brewer,
who had some strange affection for the hair
less, left sum of money, the interest on
which,, 600 thalers-is to be awarded each
year to the baldest man in the country. Ex-
perts are to be appointed to count the hairs
on the heads of competitors, and in case
two or more competitors have the same
number of hairs the prize is to be given to
the youngest. This will continue year after
year until some perfectly bald man comes
along-one without single hair on his
head-when he will be given the principal
sum from which the annuity is derived.

a crazy notion, got down from his box In
the middle of the Champs de Mars and in

and she won. The driver remounted his

MIDDLETON ITEMS.


Middleton is minus a doctor. There
is some talk of raising a reward for his
discovery.
A grand dance was given in the Mid
dleton Hall by the boys for the purpose
of giving Crate Leisure a grand send
off, as he is going to Washington in
few days.
The young gentlemen and young la
dies of Middleton met at Mrs. Alchen-
berger's on Sunday to practice singing.
Jake furnished apples and a merry
time followed.
Mr.. Morrison paid flying visit to
Middleton. What did he lose? The
boys are at a loss to understand why
he was here, as votes have fell since he
left on election day.
Since Middleton lost county seat,
business has fell off 80 per cent, espec-
tally when wheat is 20 cents per bushel,
and hay SO per ton. and cows $40 per
head, some body must be making
money.
.dr. Egleston passed through Middle
ton Sunday on his way to Star. He
bought j. NJ. Ballentine's hay, and
claims he can buy wheat in Grand
Round valley at 20 cents per bushel,
this is very encouraging to the Valley
farmer.
It is rumored in Middleton that a
new mill will be built on one of Pat
Fahy lots for the purpose of grinding
suckers for fertilizing orchards. The
sloughs are full of this class of fish, and
now that the bitches are dry, the per-
fume is not very tasteful or encourag-
ing to emigrants, as they pass through,
to remain. Any one wishing share in
this investment can have all particulars

How to Whiten the whiskers.

A farmer in Bucks county, with black
hair and mustache and a three days
growth of snow white whiskers, drop
ped into Ninth street barber shop, and
in the course Of conversation with the
lcquacious artist it appeared that the
farmer had for years shaved himself with
jackknife He thought that perhaps
that had something to do with the Pc
culiar hirsute contrast, and the barber
promptly confirmed his opinion. 1.-The
pulling Of dull razor ON the roots Of
the whiskers," said the barber, ode
stroys in short time all the oil and
pigment that gives color Most men
have too much regard for their nerves
to keep it up long enough to turn the

results in numberless seed warts, which
can only be removed by a surgical oper-

A Fallen Idol.

No man ever fell from a PEDESTAL with
more of dull thud than has Judge
William J. Gsynor, of New York. For
months past he has been advertised as the
embodiment of all civic virtues, the brave
and conscientious man who struck power
full blow at political knavery in the great
Empire state by sending Boss Mckaue to
the penitentiary. The New York Sun states
a great truth when it says: "R,rely has a
reputation fallen from the ideal to the real
with such celebrity; and this is due to the
activity of Judge Gaynor's own pen" The
Sun, however, fails to see that this fall
from the ideal is not the result of Judge
Gaynor's withdrawal from the state ticket,
as it would have its readers believe
but rather his endorsement of tie
gubernatorial candidacy of David B. Hill.
In HE letter declining to serve as the Demo-
cratic ca ndidate for the court of appeals
Judge Gaynor made use of the following
language: "lf thought that the with
drawal of my name would injure Sena.or
Hills canvass would try to see some way
to allow it to remain, for hi, recent de velop-
ment in the national Senate places him with
the foremost public men of his day. B :

lressure Sustained by Divers.

Have you any idea of the enormous
pressure sustained by submarine divers
while plying their dangerous vocations?
We will take 100 feet as the average
dep that which such tradesmen work and
use that as basis Of calculation. At a
depth of 100 feet, which does not seem
excessive when we consider the fact that
there are spots in the oceans which are
approximately five miles deep, the pres
sure on the divers body is a pounds
for each square inch Of surface. Let us
see what this means. The average man
of 1856 pounds has body Of sufficient
proportions to present IL square feet of
surface to the pressure of the waters.
This means that the ordinary diver must
work in place where his body is sub
jected to pressure of 38 tons. Nor is
this all. For every 274 inches Of depth
descended below the 100 foot line which
we have adopted as basis Of calcula-
ton there must be added one pound
pressure to each square inch of the di-
ver's bodily surface. Persons who think
that divers regularly descend to the bot
tom of the oceans in the deepest places
will probably be surprised to learn that
the greatest depth to which man has as
yet attained is only 21O feet. Louis

A Romance In Literature.

Here is a little romance in literature.
A gentleman, now prominent citizen Of
New York, years ago, when a struggling
young man at college, fell in love with a
professors daughter Both were young
She was beautiful. The professor was poor,
but wise. So he said to the youth at grad
uation:
Now go out and do something. l don't
care what you do, but do It, Then We'll see
about the girl. If she really thinks she
can't get along without you, she won't
mind waiting a couple of years. If she
won't wait, you won't want her."
The young man filed the usual demur-
rer, but was overruled. Then he went
forth. He had no idea what to do and sat
down to think. Finally he started at
something and picked up IS a week and
$50 worth of self respect while earning the
S.. He tried something else and failed.
Again and again, with the Same result
The professor said he was rolling stone
The girl said he was entcrprising. But
the youth had his eye on that girl all the
time. He tried newspaper literature. The
professor said that settled it. So did the
girl. So it did. He worked his way into
a syndicate, bought shares in the paper,
married the girl, makes several thousand
a year and row hires the professor at $25
a week to kill copy. Extract your own
moral.-Boston Traveller.

Very general interest has been awakened
by the announcement that DR.. V. G..
Vaughan, dean Of the medical faculty of
the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
has, as the result Of an extended and
elaborate series of experiments discovered
what he believes to be q specific for tuber-
culosis. 1t is called nuclein and some
notable results have been achieved by its
use on animals. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that the medical profession will be
conservative in admitting the value of this
discovery, and will demand the most
thorough and convincing proof OF its
practical efficacy before giving it any in
dorsement. There is no danger that any
discovery in the nature Of cure
for tuberculosis will create the
furore occasioned by DR.. Koch's lymph
Probably most modern physicians entertain
the firm belief that, sooner or later, a specific
for tuberculosis will be discovered. 1t may
be that DR.. Vaughan has indeed found that
specific, but it will require proofs growing
out of long series of successful treatment.
to convince the medical profession of it.
So many panaceas for all human ills are
coming to the front in these days that
physicians are naturally skeptical Of all
new discoveries"

ROBBED BY THEIR GUESTS.
Hotel Keepers Complain of the Continual
Theft of Small Articles.

Hotel Keepers Complain of the Continual
Theft of Small Articles.
1t is a fact we'll known to every hotel
and restaurant keeper in the city that
people will steal. Why they resort to
peculation is a mystery, but far great
er mystery seems to be wrapped up IN
the class of articles that are stolen.
Guests who stop at first class hotels
and pay their bills in departing have
been known scores of times to take with
them toilet soap and towels from their
rooms. Blankets, sheets, clocks and or
naments likewise disappear with the
departing transients.
Nor does the peculation stop at this.
Cheap plated trays, cutlery, forks and
spoons plainly marked with the names
of the hotels are stolen again and again.
This seems strange, for if the articles
are used by the thief they bear, of
course, the indelible evidence of the
guilt of the peculators.
Sometimes the stolen articles are re-
covered, and sometimes they are not.
Only recently the proprietor of local
hotel advertised repeatedly and offered
large reward for the return Of valu-
able clock Of large size, which had been
taken from the hotel and in a manner
never discovered. All the advertising
was in vain.
The late John Hoey once succeeded
by shrewdly worded letter in recover
ing a valuable rug which well known
New York woman had taken with her.
AS soon as its absence was noted from
the Hollywood Mr. Hoey caused to be
written to the woman a letter which
read Substantially as follows:
DEAR MADAM In packing your
clothing your maid by mistake included
the Turkish rug which was in your
room. Kindly have it returned"
The woman had no maid, which fact
was we'll known to herself and to Mr.
Hoey. The assumption that the theft
was not hers accorded her an opportuni-
ty to return the stolen article, which
she did at the earliest possible moment,
sending with it at the same time a note
apologizing for the stupidity Of the
"maid. New York Herald.
