THE OLD RED scHooLHouse.

The old red schoolhouse was the crown
That capped the highest hill In town.
II calls to mind those former days
Our grandslres trod In learning's ways
Twas where they ciphered numbers
through.
And solved deep problems hard to do.
Then found in games to boyhood dear
Escape from study too severe;
In forest shade-'the wolf to spy"
Adown the hills on sledge to fly:
In nearby field with ball and bat
To play at two and three old cat;'
And there as fox, with pace not slow,
To chase the geese across the snow.
That men should teach tho winter school
Became the universal rule
Much Drawn the teacher must possess,
Though he might have of knowledge less
The switch was large and toughened
through
And freely piled whenever due.
Ono thing promoted discipline
And held the roguish nature in
It was the never-failing rule
Two strokes at home for one at school.
The schoolhouse was place where met
Staid learned men of every set
The doctor came, the lawyer. too,
And clergyman, each with his cue;
But twas the school committee man
Who terrified the little clan.
Just twice he came in every term
To tell them what and how to learn,
And show the school and teacher, too,
How very, very much he knew.
How generous teachers then were found;
They aired spare beds the district round!
To spend those long, cold wintry nights
Oft teachers went on queer invites;
At close of school one winters day
A bonny lass was heard to say:
We've butchered pigs and killed the COW
We're ready for the teacher now"
This boarding round was not in vain;
The child's and parents hearts they't
gain:
And were they what they ought to be,
The family life in some degree
Would rise, expand and nobler be.

PRESERVING FRUIT.
A New Method Tried with Great Success
in the West Indies.

In the west indies.
Details of a new process for keeping
fruit in n fresh condition have recently
been received from France. a scientist
noted that pears and apples kept for sew
eral months in an atmosphere saturated
with yupors of waters and alcohol, and he
resolved to carry the experiment fur
Their with a view to learning the posi-
hility of reducing the scheme TO the
requirements of everyday needs and
methods. With this object in view, the
operator placed variety of fruit, in
Guiding grapes, together with bottle
containing 81 cubic inches of alcohol at
% degrees in brick receptacle from
which the light and air were excluded
10y common wooden door. In two SIM
liar receptacles, the door of one being
left open and that of the other closed,
but the alcohol being absent from both,
other fruit was placed, and they We're
placed in deep cellar, the atmosphere
of which registered about so degrees
Twenty DAYS later the contents CT the
two last named chambers were found to
be absolutely worthless, but the recep-
tacle in which the bottle of alcohol had
also been place presented very differ
ent spectacle. Not only were the grapes
firm, full and entirely free from mold.
but the bloom upon them was found to
be as fresh as though the bunch had just
been taken from the vine. The chamber
was closed for another month, and at
the end of that period everything was
still as fresh as formerly, and the fresh
ness was evident equally as much in the
taste as in the appearance. These ex-
periments have certainly added to our
methods of fruit preserving process
which is not only inexpensive, but ex-
ceedingly NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. wv. l..

vAGAR,ES OF THE MEMORY.
One Man Had to Get Drunk in order to
Remember.


Men have been known to leave home
for few days, commit some serious
crime and return, quite oblirious of
what they had done. Very interesting
is the case, so common among soldiers
who have fought Il battle and who when
it is over cannot recall the events for
several hours. The same thing happens
to those who have escaped from ship
wreck and to aere.asIlts who have just
descended from the clouds. This is
the temporary loss due to strong emo
ton. Then there are curious examples
of temporary loss of memory owing to
fatigue.
Sir Henry Holland when down n mine
in the IiarZ mountains and suffering
from fatigue completely forgot his Ger
man and could not remember u word
Of il until he had rest and refreshmcnt
after ascending. We all experience this
in less degree. Sometimes it is all
injury which causes the blank in the
backward gaze. An English professor
once received Il violent blow on the
| head and at once forgot all his Greek
and musician lost his memory of music
from the same cause. Mr.. Whymper.
IN his book on the Alps, tells how he fell
over frightful prccipice 200 feet high,
with the result that his past was for a
time wholly blottcd out of his memory.
The most singular cases of memory
loss are in connection with language.
1t is quite common in our hospitals to
see a sick German unable to speak
word of the English he had thoroughly
mastered.
\ clergyman some time ago lost all
recollection of words, but he could still
remember the letters of which they
were composed and could express his
ideas freely by spelling the words. An
officer suffered from slight attack of
apopleXy, and as n result forgot all but
very few words. When he tried to
speak he merely uttered nonsense, but
if u book or manuscript were handed to
him he read it with perfect propriety.
| One of the most extraordinary of all
memory losses is when q person for
gets how to write with his right hand,
but still has the power TO do so with
| his left hand. In such case after he
| has written with his left hand the
| desired sentence he can copy it with his
| right hand.
When the memory of words is gradu-
| ally lost it invariably progresses in one
particular order. First the proper
| nouns, then adjectives, and this stage
is followed by failure of power to rec
ollect events. Very many people suf-
| fer from the first defree; excessive
smokers, for instance, it is said, some
times find it difficult to recall proper
| names. Drunkenness is Il well-known
cause, and there is the very curious case
| of man who mislaid package while
| drunk, forgot where he had put it when
sober and had to get drunk again to
| find it.-St James Gazette.

PART III.

1t must have been about six weeks or
two months after all this that was
seated one day in my office when the
door was flung violently open and in
rushed Fox and Robbins in a state Of ex-
element that can Only be described us
tumultuous.
Fox had a ram which he attempt
ed to read U.s., Robbins, being appar-
entity very anxious to snatch it away
from him and read it himself, he was
not able to convey its contents very
clearly. Finally, at my urgent request,
they stopped their scufIiing and became
little bit rational.
Barnes is Dead" said Fox, sinking
into chair.
Dead as Hamlet" echoed Robbins,
land he's left us 100000 apiece"
but only on condition that neither of
us marries his daughter" they con
tinued together with the expression Of
deeply injured and defrauded men.
This was information of such a start
ling nature that it was several moments
before l was able to thoroughly digest
it.
"Fox," said I, finally, what made
him put that in?"
How do know" said Fox, "unless it
was that he got disguised at the way
Robbins used to hang about the gir.
when everybody could see that he was
not wanted. Maybe it was only nat
ural, but it's COMPOUNDED unfair to me-"
"Well, | never saw such conceited
ass as you are" put in Robbins. 'Why,
you hung around there yourself until
everybody was sick of the sight of you.
Why should they care anything for you,
anyhow? l saved the mans life. All
YOU did was to beat him with stick un-
til he was black and blue, and they
didn't have bit of use for you, either
one of them"
You talk like lunatic," said Fox.
"You let the man lay around in the wa
ter until he was practically as dead as
Hector, and then lugged him ashore and
sat down and watched me bring him to
life. Maria Barnes never would have
married you, and you needn't think it,
"Well, now, see here" said i, IF this
will wasn't in existence all the mans
property would go to his daughter, and
whoever married her would get the ben
eft of the whole business"
That's very true" said Fox and Rob-
bins. 'but the will is in existence"
| perhaps it can be broken" said L.
"Why, that's a fact" said they, and

shocking sight of mans inhumanity to

Almost 80 years ago-I was very
young hoy then, still remember that
the sun was bright and that skies were
blue; remember that the air was soft
and balmy; / remember that the flag,
emblem of liberty and equality, threw
out the glory of its stars and stripes
straight and strong to the morning

huddled together, waiting-and-then
! it came.
First the drums and flies; then two
platoons of men fully armed ard
equipped, their hayonets flashing and
sparkling in the sunlight, and between
them, Dumrey, with head closely
marked "Drunkard."
And still--the sun shone, the skies
were blue, and the flag tapped gayly
overhead.
On they came, the drums and flies
| playing the "Rogues' March,"
Poor old soldier; poor old soldier.
Tarr'd and feathered and then drumm'd
out
Because he couldn't keep sober.
Our hearts were in our throats, but
we clenched our hands and held our
places like men.
There was no music in the march; it
was simply wailing and sobbing of the
drums--the drums to drum Dumpey
out of the service; Dumpey, their cham
rion, their hero, their king.
But on they came
Poor old soldier, poor old soldier
Just rs they passed us we heard some
one ask:
what makes him walk so queer? He
seems to be limping."
Every boy there could have told him
that it was the bullet he got at Mission
Ridge, which the doctors had never
been able to take out.
And on they came
Tarr'd and feathered and then drumm'd
out
At last they reached theJsaily port
Because he couldn't keep sober,
| shrieked out the flies, and a moment
later Dumpey stood outside the fort, a
| free man.
And then-ths worthless outcast

Short-Lived Insects.

The wonderful brevity of insect life
is curiously illustrated in the case Of
those that prey upon different species of
mushrooms. The life of the mushroom
itself is measured by hours, yet it is
often entirely ruined by an insect which
deposits its eggs upon the fungi while
1t is in the vigor of youth. The entire
span of life of this mushroom insect is
so brief that the grubs hatch from the
eggs and the creature becomes fully de-
veloped and capable of laying eggs it
self before the mushroom dies, even
though the latter's life may not extend
over period of AS hours from the mo-
ment it first pushes through the soil.-

Reason for His Knowledge.

A party of us were up in the White
mountains last fall on camping-out
trip. We were walking along one after
noon when we met a native of that To-
cality coming down ravine with about
bushel of blueberries in a box strapped
to his broad back.
We stopped and asked him number
of questions about distances and local..
ties, and his replies manifested such
familiarity with the neighborhood that
one of the party said:
"You seem to be well acquainted all
along here"
"I'd ort to be-" was the reply; ct was
born all along hyar." = Detroit Free

Ridge" and then he would begin.
One heard the tramp of marching
feet, the thunder of cannon, the rattle
of musketry, the shouts and hurrahs
of the men, and, above all, the rub-a-
dub-dub, the extraordinarily of the drum.
II sent the cold shivers down our backs,
the blood jumping through our veins,
and our boyish hearts thumped and
thumped until we thought they must
surely burst; then he would change and
in an instant all was different.
The slow and solemn beat of the muf-
fed drum; the long, melancholy, al
most human roll, and we knew that the
battle was over, and that the dead were
being laid away to their last rest. The
tears were in our eyes, choking in
our throats, and then
They dressed me up in sojer clothes,
They treated me so kindly.
And yet never could forget
The girl left behind me.
And we'd fall in and march behind
our friend until we reached the battery
quarters.
Sometimes when the grizzled first
sergeant of the battery was inclined to
be pleasant we would. stay to dinner
with Dumpey; bean soup, pork, bread
and coffee, with real live cooks bully

were full-fedged battery men.
These were our happy times; there

when poor Dumpey would fall from
grace and disappear from among us
for days at a time. Sometimes he would
be in the guard-house, sometimes in
the hospital. We never spoke of 1t, ant
when the fit was over he would be safe
for few more months.
1t was sad day for tho battery, and
particularly for Dumpey, when the
Junior lieutenant left our post by trans.

was in the guard-house with general

THE VITAL ISSUE.

General Horace Porter in the August
Forum" thus arraigns the Democratic
party which tampered with the tariff
and brought about the present condi-
tions:
Four years ago our credit was above
reproach, our factories We're running
full time, nearly all our wage-earners
had employment, wages were remunera-
tive, farm products brought good prices;
and the country could pride itself upon
a firm policy, conducted by statesmen
who could not be overreached by the
trained diplomatists of Europe. A sense
of peace, happiness, and prosper
ity almost without parallel in American
history pervaded the land. 1t seemed
like the realization of the promises made
by the protectionists in the Henry Clay
campaign, 1.-TWO dollars day and roast
beef" But the masses of the people
have now walked up to the fact that
four years ago they followed blind
guides They were led astray by false
signals which were as fatal as the
wreckers' lights hoisted on a storm
beaten coast to lure innocent mariners
to certain destruction. The promises
given them by irresponsible politicians
were made to the ear only to be broken
to the hope. Panic has followed pros
perity; the nation has been changed
from a debt-paying to a debt-making
country; GA per cent. of our skilled me-
chanics, as nearly as can be ascerta1ned,
have been thrown out of employment;
calamity has rested upon the land until
patience has been exhausted, courage
has failed, and the financial and indus
trial elements despair of relief, unless 1t
come from a radical change in our ma
tional policy to be brought about by
an administration opposite i'm character
to that under which the present burdens
have been accommodating until they are
intolerable.
The remedy is obvious. 1t is not to be
found in the demand for free coinage.
though 1t should be the policy to en-
large the volume of silver currency, and
this we believe the Republican party
Will do at the time that 1t pushes vigor-
ously as pledged, to secure international
agreement to make silver international
currency, when it may be freely coined
without disturbance Of trade-but the
remedy Is to be found in a policy of
protection to American industries and
industrial workers. Entertaining this
sober conviction, the Republican party
has planted it's standard upon that pol
icy, and proposes to stand to It, despite
all efforts made to divert attention from
the issue.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Los Angeles Times" made a
recent number of its issue a Mckinley
number, copy of which we have re-
ceived It is of sixteen pages, all of
which are devoted to matters Of inter
est regarding the Republican nominee
for President, the history of the Re-
publican party, facts and statistics
concerning the issues of the campaign,
speeches made in the Republican Ma
tional Convention, principles of the
Republican party and other matter re-
lating to the political contest and it's
issues. It makes a valuable number of
a leading paper of the State, and is
really a campaign document of large
circulation, which will serve excellent
purpose in the campaign.
