Ono nj A Time.

One step at a time, and that well placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at time oarth's hidden stores
Will slowly como to light;
One seed at time, and the forest grows,
One drop at time and the river flows
Into the boundess sea.
One word at time, and the greatest book
Is written and is read
One stone at a time, and the palace rears
Aloft its stately heads
One blow at time the trees cleft through,
And city will stand where forest grew
A few short years before.
One foe at time and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
one grain at n time, and the sand OF life
viii slowly all be run;
One minute, another, the hours fly;
One day at time our lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain of knowledge, and that we'll
stored,
Another, and more on them;
And as time rolls on, your mind will shine
With many garnered gem;
Ofthought and wisdom And time will tell
zone thing at time, and that done well, "
Is wisdom's proven rule.

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association has an editorial the
general trend of which is to show that
hypnotism has had its day, and is
practically being laid upon the shelf,
or, at least, its use confined to irregu-
lars outside Of the recognized school
OF medicine. This is rather curious
statement to make, at least, if one
measures the interest of q medical
t,pic by the number of articles writ
ten about it, observes the Medical
Record. There are few subjects about
which German physicians are writing
more monographs at present, or in
which they seem to take a more active
interest. The sensational side OF
hypnotism is certainly dying out, but
. certain practical side, which is rep
resented by the word "suggestion, "
has undoubtedly come to stay, and to
be used in therapeutics.

A Wonderful Rainbow.

The residents of Ross Valley were

overhead and in the north was over
cast with dull, leaden clouds, while to
the south the sun was shining. The

rains and white with frost. The
vapor was rising from the ground in
great clouds and huge rainbow OF
most wondrous beauty and brilliancy
extended over the valley from the
hills on one side to the mountains on
the other.
But the most wonderful feature was
the reflection between the spectators
and the rainbow itself and at about
the same elevation. It was DINNER

Benefits of Animal Domestication

1t is evident that mankind owes its
advancement, not alone to increase of
material comforts, but in another di-
rection often overlooked, to the inn
provement of its moral qualities. II
economic details brought about by the
domestication of animals are so varied
that, as Professor Shaler writes,
"they cannot be reckoned in detail"
Primitive man, when he first made
pet OF an animal, and then brought it
under his control, broke away ''from
the old brutal way of life. This act OF
demonstrating animals led to higher
sense of responsibility. There arose
something like divided affection,
other than the natural instinct of love
for his own offspring. This was the
first development of sympathy The
mans mental powers then took q
wider range. New York Times.

"A PRACTICE MARCH.
United States Regulars On a Three
Days Tramp.
Officers and Men Benefited by
the Experience.

1t costs the government no more to
keep troops in the field in small bod
les than to maintain them in garrison;
it induces interest in the profession,
gains them experience in taking care
of themselves, and fits the soldier
mind to the idea that he must be able
to live in state of nature, and not in
n large hotel like man with money
and the gout. These practice marches
are much indulged in nowadays by the
regular troops. Two companies of the
Twenty-third Infantry, under Captain
Lea Febiger, marched from Fort
Clark to the East Nueces River, in
Texas, last October. Their orders
were for the officers and men to carry
the usual field equipment heavy
marching order, except knapsacE.
Three days rations we're carried by
the men in haversacks, while the blan-
ket-rolls contained change of under
clothing and shelter-tent ''The COM
mand not having transportation of any
kind on the march, should it become
necessary to Communicate with the
post for any purpose whatever, may
do so by bicycles, the use of which
on the march by enlisted men owning
them is hereby authorized" say the
orders. The report of Captain Febiger
says: Each officer and man carried
three days field rations, the fresh
vegetable portion being optional,
which in all cases was greatly reduced,
and even more so on the second day

blanket, change of underclothing,
blouse, (marcbed in flannel shirts, one
pair of socks, towel, soap, etc., and
| additional rations that the haversack
would not hold (about one day's), and
their respective arms aud belts The
total weight of the pack average d
about forty pounds, when not wet,
divided as follows: Haversack,
packed, six pounds; canteen, filed,
and cup, four pounds; cartridge belt
ten rounds, "a pounds rifle, 8 1-3
pounds; blanket-roll, nineteen pounds.
All officers and men did their own
cooking in meat-ration can and cup.
"Four privates and one musician
with Corporal John Reeves in charge,
constituted the bicycle corps, carry
ing their haversacks and blanket rolls
on the handle-bars, and rifles strapped
to the frame. They constituted daily
on the march the advance-guard, and
were ready for use as messengers and
couriers. Two of the machines, be-
ing second hand, very old and worn,
gave out ON the march; The other four
came successfully through, though not
of the most expensive pattern" So
much for bicycles.

with the elongated rear end was very
