bush to sacrifice some one who disagreed
with them on some religious point or
other.
The Druids largely lived in the woods
in summer and in debt during the win
ter. They worshiped almost everything
that had been left out overnight, and
their motto was, "Never do anything
unless you feel like it very much in
deed"
Caesar was a broad man from a reli-
gious point of view and favored bringing
the Druids before the grand jury. For
uttering such sentiments as these the
Druids declared his life to be forfeit and
set one of their number to settle also
with him after morning services the
question as to the matter of immersion

SINCE YESTERDAY.
The mavis sang but yesterday

The mavis sang but yesterday
A strain that thrilled through autumn'i
dearth;
He read the music Of his lay
In light and leaf, and heaven and earth:
The windtlowers by the wayside swung,
Words of the music that was sung
In all his song the shade and sun
OF earth and heaven seemed to meet,
It's joy and sorrow were as one,
Its very sadness was but sweet;
He sang of summers yet to be.
You listened to his song with me.
The heart makes sunshine in the rain,
Or winter in the midst of May,
And though the mavis sings again
His selfsame song of yesterday,
find no gladness in his tone;
Today listen here alone
And-even our sunniest moment taxes
Such shadows of the bliss we knew
Today his throbbing song awakes
But wistful, haunting thoughts of you;
Its very sweetness is but sad,
You gave it all the joy it had

The Live Sponge.

When the sponge is in the sea alive,
the inside of the pores is covered with a
soft substance like the white of an egg
This appears to be the flesh of the ami
NAL, and currents Of water may be seen
running into the sponge through the
small pores and out of it through the
large ones, and it is supposed that while
the water is passing through the sponge
the nourishment for the support of the
animal is extracted from it.

teenth century the history of Great
Britain has been dear to her descendants
in every land, meath every sky.
But to write a truthful and honest
history of any country the historian
should, that he may avoid overpraisc

in a foreign country Or be so situated
that he may put on false mustache
and get away as soon as the advance

say guard carefully against permitting
that fact to swerve him for one swift
moment from the right.

in Strawberries at Ukiah, and they need
considerable water. I used to put in
lot of time digging little trenches and
turning water this way and that, but it
was disappointing to go out the next
day and find that had been irrigating
a mole hole. set watch ON the little
pests, and 1 soon learned their habits
Since then it is no trouble at all to get
them.
''In the first place, l found that a
mole never comes straight up TO the top
of the ground, but always on slant,
and you will see the ground agitated for
some time before he throws up his hill.
If you step within 90 feet of him when
he comes to the top, he will instantly
stop work and run. It's no use to try
to catch him then.
''But mole is the victim of habit.
If he is disturbed at his work at 2
o'clock today, he will not come back till
exactly 2 O'Clock tomorrow. You can
set a watch by him and depend on its
being right. Well, watch around in
my berry patch and take the time when
ever l disturb Mr.. Mole. The next day,
when it is time for him to come back, 1
take my station near the hole. AS soon
as he throws up his little mound Iplant
my foot behind him and close up the
hole. Then all have to do is to scoop
him out of the dirt and drop him into
my pocket, kicking and scratching like a
good fellow. l kill him, stretch his skin

Complexion OF HissOuri Not materially

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-The Republic
has asked from the circuit clerks of tbs
Missouri counties estimates upon the
increased vote in their respective coun-
ties over that cast at the presidential
election in 1892. The clerks Of 80
counties have made estimates The
others did not feel able to do so. In
the 80 counties the total increase in
the vote over 1892 aggregates, accord
ing to the estimates returned, 70, 0S2,
OF which So per cent. is republican, "a
per cent democratic, and 10 per cent.
pOpulist If the average in population
and growth for the 50 counties holds
good for the entire state, all the coun.
ties in Missouri. not including
buchanan and jackson, and the city
OF St. Louis. would show an increase
of about Il, 500 repu Jlieans, 5000 dem
ocrats and 2, 500 populists. This would
give the republicans outside the larger
cities a net gain Of about 5000 over the
democrats since 1892 This, Of course,
does not take into account the changes
in political beliefs, but means that
about 1900 more republicans than
democrats have either moved into the
state, or have arrived at a voting age
since 1892. In 1892 the democrats gave
Cleveland a majority of 5000 outside
the counties Of Jackson and Buchanan,
and the city Of St. Louis Unless,
therefore, the voters of 1892 have
changed their political beliefs the
democrats would still have a plurality
On their presidential ticket, outside
large cities, of $4,000.
