When was but wee. shy boy.
My mothor's pride, my fathers joy,
My hands and mouth had full employ
When blaclberrios were ripe.
And oft my nanny she would squeeze
Tho thorns from out my arms and knees,
And my good dad, to give mo case.
Laid by his favorite pipe.
And even since I've become n man,
And dressed on quite different plan,
A'yo still gone carrying the can,
When blackberries grew sweet.
Ies,tramphng through the bramble brakes,
IA court the koenest pains and aches
For two or three fair colleens' salxes-
Whose names I'll not repeat
I'LL Norah of the amber hair,
who'd been my partner here and there,
Around, about and everywhere,
As blackberrics came in
When just tried. with too much haste,
The richer, rarer fruit to taste
That on her lips was going to waste,
She losses up her chin,
And marches by mo night and morn,
Her gray eyes only giancing scorn.
Regardless of the ranking thorn
She's rooted in my heart.
Yet maybe-though much misdoubt-
Her eyes that flash, her lips that fiout,
Will yet turn kind, and conjure out
That thorn OF cruel smart.

A BOYS Appearance.

Ruth Ashmore, addressing herself to
"That Boy of Mine" in Ladies Home
Journal. writes that his personal ap-
pearance 'should be good. You owe
that to yourself And whether it is Mt
the Office or when you are out visiting
you should be clean, wholesome
looking young man. Cleanliness does
much toward godliness, and clean
body aids clean soul. 1t may not be in
your power to possess a dress suit, but
if you should not don't borrow one and
don t hire one. Brush up the best clothes
you have, make them immaculate and
then enjoy yourself and forget your
clothes. Your linen can always be fresh
and clean. and your tic can be i'll good
style and properly knotted. Never wear
loud scarf and never wear imitation
jewelry. Gentlemen select plain gold
buttons. and simple gold links, and
scarfpins Of the most modest pattern.
If you can afford dress clothes, remem-
Der never to appear in them until
after dark. You may wear, as you like
best. either q lawn tie or q black satin
one. but the stiff little bow should be
Topped by yourself and not bought ready
made. ~

EARTHQUAKE SCIENCE.
The Internal Fires of Earth and the Crack
ing of tho Upper Crust.

The Internal Fires of Earth and the Crack
ing of tho Upper Crust.
1t has long been the popular belief
that volcanoes were the cause of earth
quakes. and many scientists have held
to this theory, but Professor John
Milne, +. r. S., who has recently been
investigating the causes of earthquakes
in Japan, in connection with the Uni
versity of Tokyo. made the statement
In lecture that most of these shakings,
probably SO per cent, were caused by
fractures of the earthrs crust.
He explained that the earth's crust
was in perpetual motion, and the tremor
was either SO slight as to be impercepti-
BILE or SO great that it might plainly be
felt. 1t is not, he said, necessary to GO
to Japan or South America to study
earthquakes. for an earthquake in one
part of tho world can, by proper instru-
ments, easily be recorded i'll another.
1.-THE inside of the earth is hot" said
Professor Milne, land the crust is con-
stantly breaking downward, and as it
accommodates itself to what is under
meath, the surface of the earth's crust
becomes puckered up, and mountains
and hills are formed. When any inter
ruption takes place in the process of the
internal crumbling of the crust of the
earth, there is subsistence producing a
violent shaking. which is called an
earthquake. If big shaking takes place
in any part Of the world, the motion is
sufficient to be propagated over the
whole surface of the earth.
"In countries where there are volca-
noes earthquakes are most frequent, but
they are not all directly attributable to
the volcanoes. When the ground open
ing upward is near the ocean or other
great body Of water, volcanoes are
found there, for volcanic action is due
to steam from water in heated rocks,
the water having soaked through from
the surface.
"h Japan earthquakes. great or
small. are Of such frequent occurrence
that people there do not talk about the
weather. as they do almost everywhere
else in the world. but you are asked
what you thought of the last earthquake,
and there is much guessing and betting
on the earthquakes that are to come

Tho Senator's Dress Suit.

There is certain senator from O
western state who dined with the presi-
dent one night not long ago. He wore
on that evening what he always wears
on full dress occasions, u coat made aft
er design Of his own-a coat which
combines the elegance of dress coat
with the lines Of a cutaway, but is nei-
Their one nor the other. When the sena-
tor was ready to start for the White
House, some busybody hustled up to
him and said:
why, senator. aren't you going to
put on q dress coat?"
The senator drew himself up to his
full height.

projects for my future. The metrop-
oils seemed to offer no promising field,
and soon gave up my idea of adding
another unit to it's hundreds of thou
sands. Then came thoughts of the
west; but chance meeting with an
old classmate, who had ventured into
that Ell Dorado of impoverished youth
and had returned even poorer than he
went forth, was taken as a warning
against initiating his example. So, at
last, accepting Hobson's choice, l re-
appeared in the city from which Capt.
Peck had lured me, and once more EN-.
tered the crowded ranks of it's ply
sicians. 1t was growing, bustling, &C
tive community, but my share in its
general prosperity seemed destined to
be sadly limited.
l secured cheap quarters in one OF
the poorer residence districts, thereby,
perhaps, handicapping myself greatly,
but at the same time reducing expenses
to point made advisable by light
purse. Still, in spite OF the most rigid
economy, the outgo constantly eX-
ceeded the income. From a small mar
gin to the good passed to small bal
ance on the wrong side Of the ledger.
Worst of all, this balance grew, not rap
idly, for l thought twice before spend
ing a penny, but with the steadiness re-
sulting from an unseemly dispropor-
ton between earnings and expenses.
None OF the old patients returned to
me--though thatwas hardly matter of
regret-.an and new ones were few and far
between. Now and then an accident
