Many do not connect the facts, but
they are cause and effect. In closets

crackers are affected. An old house

by keeping the breakfast coffee over

thi, we can understand how organs

a song Ar EVENING.


In the last enchaned gray light
That is neither night nor daylight,
In the shy light Of the twilight,
Soft and shady, little lady.
Comes a-roauing through the cleaning,
Comes a-ringing al,h a singing
AS nightingale oan only
When he's lonely, send a-winging.
And the dear delicious glamour
OF his tender-hearted elamor
Makes the red blood surge and hammer
And the pulses tfH.iil and start;
Oh, my lady, little dear one,
With your shining eyes so near one,
All the world is full Of rapture
At the capture of your heart.
So the while we listen nightly
To the bird that Iilteth brightly,
Kiss me lightly, where all Whitley
Clean the stars In heights above,
While the twilight ilms and darkens
And the brooding silence hearkens
To my pleading, TO your needing,
Little love!

A Contest OF Soeed.

@. @. Taylor, engineer of the Pablo
Railroad, has pulled throttle for
thirty-six years, and during that time
has had many novel experiences, but
Sunday he had one that has no parallel
in his life's history.
1t was during the run from Pablo
to Jacksonville. About eight miles
this side of Pablo is Cedar Swamp, a
tangled morass in which bear, Wild
cats, deer and even panthers have
been often killed. When about half
way through the swamp an immense
buck, wild eyed and lathered with
sweat, made clean leap of twenty-five
feet on to the track, within sixty feet
of the engine. An instant later there
was crash of the underbrush, and
out of it came an immense panther,
running so fast that he seemed to be
level with the ground. he was so
eager to catch the game ahead of him
that he had no eye for the train,
Passengers in the five coaches did
not know of the exciting race going
on ahead of the cowcatcher, but they
did notice that there was series OF
quick and successive jerks, and that
tho train was spinning along through
the swamp at whizzIng pace. 1t
was at this time that Engineer Taylor
resolved to take hand in the race
himself. He pulled the throttle wide
open.
The deer was 100 yards ahead, anu
the panther was thirty yards behind
the deer. The deer was barely hold
ing his own. Something seemed to
be the matter with him, for he didn't
run as he should. The deer Kept the
track for half mile. Before he left
the track, however, the engine crawled
close upon the panther. He heard
the rumbling of the wheels and the
trembling of the track, and he quickly
got out of the way, hiding in the
underbrush by series of successive
graceful leaps.
The deer did not quit the track un.
til a quarter of mile further on. he
took to the open pine woods on the
opposite side to that which the panther
had leaped, and the last seen of him
he was still running like chain light.

Mr.. Rogero says that deer have fre-

a race with the train, but this is the

CONNECTICUT BLUE LAWS.
Some of the restrictions That Envi
roned Our Ancestors.


The story of the so-called Connecti-
|'cut "Blue Laws" is told in o history
Of colonial times written by the Rev.
Samuel Peters, once pastor of church
in Hartford in revolutionary days.
Here are some of Peters bluest laws,
all of which are identical, in vital
sense, with old colonial enactments:
No. 1-'The governor and magis.
trates convened and in general assem-
bly, are the supreme power under God
of this Independent dominion.
No. From the determination OF
the assembly no appeal shall be made.
No. 10-"No one shall be freeman
or give vote unless he is converted
and o member in full communion of
one of the churches allowed in this
dominion"
No. 12-'tEach freeman shall swear
by the blessed God to bear true ale.
glance to this dominion and that Jesus
is the only king"
No. 13-"No Quaker or dissenter
from the established worship of this
dominion shall be allowed to give q
vote for the election of magistrates or
any other officer"
No. 14.-"No food or loding shall
be afforded to Quaker. Adamite or
other heretic."
No. 15.-.If any person turns Qua
ker he shall be banished, and not suf-
fered to return, under pain of death.
No. 16.-"No priest shall abide in
this dominion; he shall be banished
and suffer death on his return. Priests
may be seized by anyone without q
warrant"
No. 19.-"No one shall ride on the
Sabbath day or walk in his garden or
elsewhere, except reyerently to and
from meeting"
No. 19.-"No one shall travel, cook
victuals, make beds, sweep houses, cut
hair or shave on the Sabbath day."
No. 20.-"No woman shall kiss her
child on the Sabbath day or fast day."
No. 21.-"The Sabbath day begins
at sunset on Saturday." Mr.. Newton,
commenting said: "The twenty-first
blue law, making the Sabbath begin at
sunset was, of course, the law Of the
New Haven Colony, and the law of
our forefathers down to compara-
lively recent period. Under the Mo-
siac law Sabbath begins at sunset, and
such has been the law of the Sabbath
since the evening and the morning OF
the first day"
No. 20. -"To pick an ear of corn
growing in neighbor's garden shall
be deemed theft"
No. 24.-''When it appears that an
accused has confederates and he re-
fuses to discover them he ma7 be
racked." This is about the only Peters
blue law to which Mr.. Newton refuses
to give q foundation in fact. He
says: SCI do not find any indication
that this statement is true, and Trum-
bull says It'll false" Anyhow, it is by
no means monstrously blue law as
compared with some of the black:-and-
blue ones already quoted.
No. 27.-"Whosoever. publishes a
lie to the prejudice of his neighbor
shall sit in the stocks, or be whipped
fifteen stripes"
No. 2s.-'No minister shall keep a

The Earth's Shadow.

The length of the shadow which the
earth casts into space has attracted
some attention since the eclipse OF the
moon. This shadow is in the form of
o cone with the diameter OF the earth
as it's base. It is S64,O00 miles long.
That is if you travelled into space,
away from the earth, more than three
times as far as the moon, the shadow
would still shield you from the sun,
provided you remained on what may
be called the night side of the earth.
The diameter of the sun is S66, 1000
miles, that of the earth is 1925 miles,
and the distance from the sun to the
earth is 9S, 900, 600 miles.
