The Poets First Love and the Verses In
 Which He Praised Her.
 Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, was born at Mount Oliphant, Jan 25, 1759, near Ayr, in a clay built cottage, reared by his fathers own hands. When a lad of IS, the family moved to Lochlea. were still with the poet times of inno- oence, and This conduct was governed by the strictest rules of virtue and mod esty." At last ho set his affections on 8 young woman named Ellison Begbie, the daughter of @ small farmer, and asked her to be his wife, but he could not prevail on her to marry him, and this disappointment had malign inf1u ence over the poet. Long afterward, when he had seen much of the world, Burns spoke of this girl as, of all those on whom he ever fixed his f1ckle affeo- tions, the one most likely to have made 6 pleasant partner for life, It was to her he addressed the pure and beautiful love lyric Mary Morison," and in these lines the lyric genius of Burns was for the first time undeniably revealed:

 The dance gaed through the lighted ha', To thee my fancy took its wing.

THE CHIN AS AN INDEX.
Can You Tell a Persons Character by thu
 Shan4a of His InxRer .IaW3

Can You Tell a Persons Character by the Shape of His Lower Jaw2 I have read Dr. Leuf's letter on "Physiognomy' ill The Medical Coun- oil and am prompted to say, in reply to his request for contributions on the "chin:'
 Protruding chins characterize men and women of the get there type Suo- cessful people usually carry their chins thrust forward, with compressed lips. This chin. If heavy, with broad rami and swelling masseters, indicates fight ing blood.
 A retreating chin shows lack of force, mentally, morally and physically; usu- ally of the yielding sort; soon discour- aged; desires protection; small exec utive force. The development of other faculties often makes up for this defect.
 A small, we'll rounded chin, with mobile and red cushion of flesh upon, indicates 8 pleasure loving owner. If dimpled, all the more so, for dimpled chins belong to coquettes. People with dimples love to be petted and loved; like admiration and praise. Generally fiokle. Usually this chin is healthy, re- ouperative and long lived
 Broad chins signify nobleness and large dignity, unless vertically thin, when, if with it there be thin lips of bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
 Square chins with little flesh denote frmness and executive ability. These make good haters.
 Drunkards usually have circular line about their chins.
 Slovens have wrinkles about their ohins.
 Long, thin chins are poetical, unsta- ble and delicate in constitution. Soch people are subject to bowel derange- ments. If thin through the angles of the mouth, too, they are prone to tuber- c1losis. Generally short lived.
 Medium ohins with suggestive bi- furcation in the center, with small mounds of flesh on either side, charac- terize generosity, impulsiveness, cheery natures (The same sized chins, with a dab of flesh just under the center of the lower lip, indicate meanness, ,selfishness, brutality.)
 N. B.-No one feature can be taken in judging character. Often develop ment of other faculties of mind or fea- ture entirely governs. In each case take the "totality of indications" before judging. St. Louis Clinique-

The Science of the Morning Fast.

Dr. E, H. Dewey says that the heavy morning breakfast which is universal in America is all mistake. The hun ger one feels is abnormal and is simply the acquired result of lifelong untime- ly meal. More than this, it is often dis ease undergoing evolution, and many complaints are cured simply by not talk ing anything beyond a small cup of tea or coffee, and sometimes not even that, until II or 12 o'clock. The experience of hundreds of persons proves that even the severest manual labor can be per formed for several hours Ion an empty stomach" and with more ease, energy and satisfaction than ever is possible after an early morning meal and that 1t can be done even up to high noon without unusual exhaustion or incon- venience from the bangs of hunger. A great many people are now giving this matter a prolonged test, and the wis dom of the method is clearly supported by physiological evidence. .-Exchange

ITEMS FROM THE STAFFORD
 NEWS LETTER.
July 26, 1867.

Tt is our intention to print under this head from week to week, items Of interest from the old Stafford News Letter.
 The new Ellington Congregational church is being framed in this village by Capt. T. D. Johnson of West Stafford, builder. The building is to be 107x65 feet.
 The pulpit of the Congregational church in,this village, flor a few Sabbaths past, has pbeen occupied by Rev. E. Ripley, princi- pal of the Somers Home school, who will probably continue to offlciate until the place is taken by a candidate for s3ttle- ment.
 Two boys who escaped from the Monson state almshouse, put a couple of ties on the track of the New London railro ad, near State Line on Thursday last week. MT. Downer's train escaped running into them by timely discovery, and the boys were caught and sent back for safe keep ing.
 The new church of the M. E. society at South Coventry was dedicated Wednes- day July 17th. The services were of great interest. Rev. E. F. Clark gave the opening address and the sermon was by Rev. P. T.. Kenney, presiding elder. The weather was fine and the attendance large. A year ago last Spring it was decided that a new and larger house of worship was a necessity. The present pastor, Rev. s. s. Cummings, who came to Coventry about that time took hold of the work with energy. It was proposed to limit the expense to $50O0, the old house to be sold for 5000, and subscrip- tion was started with the condition that the subscriptions should be binding if $4000 should be subscribed by the 20th of June, 1866. The required amount was subscribed within the time limited, and arrangements were at once set on foot for the erection of a church edifice. The lot increased the expense, and the cost of the building exceeded considerably the estimates made at the beginning. A very pretty house of worship centrally located, and though not large, will doubt less be found adequate to the wants of the society for some time to come. The building is of wood and is neat and taste full in Its architecture. The audience room Is plainly but tastefully finished. It has commodious basement for even- ing services, etc.

SERPENT VENOM.

The rapidity with which serpent venom becomes absorbed by the system, says Longman's Magazine, is almost incredible and is we'll illustrated by the following experiment A rat was inoculated with venom near the tip of its tail, one minute later tho latter was cut off short dis tance above the point of inoculation but this operation was quite unable to save the animals life, for even if that brief in- terval the poison had accomplished its fatal work, and few hours later claimed its victim. This rapid diffusion of the venom helps to explain the difflcu ulty which is experienced in arresting the course of the poison by local treatment for its passage is too rapid to permit of Its being overtaken by superficial meas ures of even the most stringent character. But Calmette points out that local pre- cautions are not to be neglected, for al- though they cannot nullify the action of the venom, they undoubtedly do delay its progress, and thus create longer inter- vals or respite, during which an oppor- tunity Is afforded for administering the anti-toxin. Before however, passing or
 to the investigations which have cul. minated in the production of a specific antidote for this terrible toxin, there are few more details which Calmette has furnished as to its character which are oi interest. Serpent venom Is characterizeG not only by it's intensely virulent proper ties, but also by the tenacity with which 1t retains them under diverse circumstan. ces. Thus it may be stored up for g whole year, and yet at the end of that time be as active as ever; and even after several years, although it's toxic powers are somewhat reduced, it still retains them to very appreciable extent
 Unlike the bacterial toxins, this venton toxin can stand exposure to considerable temperatures without injury only suffers after 1t has been submitted to 98 degrees centigrade for twenty minutes. Thus the venom of the so-called "tiger snake'' of Australia will stand being exposed for ten minutes to from 100 to 1O2 degrees centigrade, and its virulence only disap. pearg when this temperature has been ap. piled for twenty minutes. The venom of the ''black snake," another Australian variety, loses its toxity at a temperature of between 99 and 100 degrees centigrade while an exposure to only 80 degrees cen. tigrade for ten minutes Is sufficient ir the case of viper venom, according tc Messrs. Phisalix and Bertrand, to pro- foundly modify its lethal properties Thus a pigeon ure for fortnight to temper. ature of 38 degrees centigrade does not | affect cobra venom in the least, but i during that same time 1t has been placed in the sunshine, it entirely loses all its lethal properties. Thus, a pigeon wa. | fnOculated with about 30 drops of venom which had been exposed to the sun's rays for fourteen days, and it survived while another pigeon was inoculated with little over six drops of similar venom which had been kept during this time 1T the dark, and 1t died In quarter of al | hour.

How He ROuses Himself and Welcomes
 the Spring.
 As the woodchuck sleeps away the bitterness of cold, so in his narrower chamber sleeps the chipmunk. Happy little hermit, lover of the sun, mate of the song sparrow and the butterflies, what goodly and hopeful token of the earth's renewed life Is he, verifying the promises of his own chalices, the squir- rel cups, set in the warmest corners of the woodside, with libations of dew and shower drops, of the bluebird's carol the sparrow s song of spring'
 He comes forth from his long night into the fullness of the sunlit day, to proclaim his awakening to his summer comrades, gay recluse clad all in the motley, a jester, maybe, yet no fool. His voice, for all its monotony, is in spring of gladness and contentment, whether he utters his thin, sharp chirp or full mouthed chuck, or laughs a chit tering mockery as he scurries in at his narrow door.
 He winds along his crooked pathway of the fence rails and forages for half forgotten nuts in the familiar grounds, brown with strewn leaves or dun with dead grass. Sometimes he ventures to the top rail and climbs to giddy ten foot height on tree, whence he looks abroad, wondering, on the wide expanse of an acre.
 Music hath charms for him, and you may entrance him with a softly whis- tied tune and entice him to frolio with a herds grass head gently moved be- fore him
 When the fairies have made the white curd of mallow blossoms into cheese for the children and the chipmunk, it is a pretty sight to see him gathering his share handily and toothily stripping of the green covers, filling his cheek pouches with the dainty disks and scampering away to the cellar with his ungrudged portion. Alaok the. day when the sweets of the sprouting corn tempt him to turn rogue, for then he becomes a banded outlaw, and the sud den thunder of the gun announces his tragic fate. He keeps we'll the secret of constructing his cunning house, with out 8 show of heaped or scattered soil at its entrance. Bearing himself hon. estly and escaping his enemies, the cat, the hawk and the boy, he lives long day of happy, inoffensive life Then when the flmy curtain of the Indian summer falls upon the year again he bids us 8 long good night-"New Eng land Fields and Woods"

Mans Most Vulgar Habit.

''If men were compelled to wear skirts for period. think they would insist more than they now do that their fellow men should stop the nasty habit of splitting in public," writes Edward W. Box in The Ladies' Home Journal. "There is no practice of man which is more distressing to women than this disgusting habit Women constantly complain of it, especially in our larger cities, where sometimes the sidewalks are scarcely fit for them to walk upon. They revolt at the practice, and they are right in so doing, yet year in and year out the habit not only continues but increases, and the protection of cleanliness, to which every woman walking upon our streets has perfect right, Is denied her"

George T. Angell gives the following suggestions for the comfort of the horses: "On very hot day keep sponge, a towel, or your handkerchief soaked with pure cold water on the top of your horses head. If your horses back is sore, use pure cold water on it freely every time the saddle is removed. In hot weather be sure your check-rein is loose and your horse frequently watered. In hot weather a mouthful of grass, or piece of bread or cracker, even, will help your horse wonderfully"

There is much talk now throughout the
country about the candidacy of Henry
George for the mayoralty Of Greater New
York. and predictions are made in va
rious quarters that If Mr. George is elect
cd he viii be the candidate Of the Demo-
cratic party for the presidency in 1890.
Others say that Mr.. Bryan Win be the
candidate for the presidency with Mr..
George as his running mate.
We shall not say that such a ticket is
unlikely, but We do not believe that it
will be the ticket of the Democratic
party We are rather disposed to believe
that it viii be the ticket Of the Popunst
party. Mr.. George and Mr.. Bryan are
not far apart in their views and they
represent large contingent Of voters in
this country. They represent the OK
treme advocates Of free silver In all par
ties, and the Populists and Socialists
naturally look TO them FOR leadership.
The candidacy Of Mr.. George and the
enthusiastic support that the extreme sill
verites IN New York are giving him are
opening the eyes OF Democrats all over
this country. The Atlanta Constitution,
as we have already remarked. has re-
pudlated Mr. Georges candidacy and has
declared that he is not a Democrat. The
Nashville American. which supported the
Chicago ticket in 1896, says its objection
TO Mr.. Henry George is based on the sole
fhnf no "a
true" says the American that he has
assumed tho name OF Democrat and pro-
foses to he a disciple Of Jefferson. but
everybody knows that he is the same
Henry George who previously ran for
Mayor on the Socialist Labor ticket, the
same who wrote Progress and Poverty
ana he stands for no idea in public affairs
save that OF a single tax. TO elect him
Mayor of New York. the city on whose
vote the election Of a President has fire.

wards Socialism and revolution that he
American would greatly deplore."
The Greenvile Is. c. News says that
the election Of Mr.. Henry George TO the
mayoralty OF New York would
possibly have tremendous innu-
ence upon American politics and
that Mr.. George would loom up
as strong candidate for the presidency

Referring-to a communication IN yester-
davis Times in reply TO an editorial in this
naner on the Richmond tobacco market,
we desire to give assurance, if such as
surance be necessary, that our only pur-
pose was to promote the interests OF the
tobacco trade Of Richmond, and If we ap-
peared to chide It was, as We stated for
the purpose Of arousing the tobacco men
of the city TO greater exertions on behalf
Of the Richmond market.
IN, figures which our correspondent
prints are not satisfactory.
Uhe exhibit for Richmond and is I'M
worthy OF her usual push and enterprise.
If our correspondent IS satisfied with
that exhibit, It is more than we are.
Richmond can do better than that.
As 10 the manufacturing trade Rich
mond has progressed. We were not re-
ferring 10 that branch of the industry in
the original article We referred TO the
sale OF loose tobacco on the warehouse
floors, and while we dislike to say that
that particular branch OF the industry is
retrogradng, our correspondent shows
by the table which no printed that the
sales OF loose tobacco for the year 1897
were less than for any year since 1892,
with the exception of the year 1896.
We desire especially to emphasize the
fact that with the large number of fac
tories in Richmond for the manufacture
OF tobacco there should be a greater sup
ply OF the raw material on the warehouse
floors. In other words, we do not see
why It is necessary for Richmond manu-
facturers to buy their supplies Of leaf to-
bacco on other markets. We do not see
why the warehouses Of Richmond cannot
furnish the supply direct from first hands.
Richmonds tobacco manufacturing in
dustries are far greater than those -
Danville and yet Danville sold very much
more leaf tobacco on the warehouse floors
FOR the past year than Richmond sold.
We DO not profess to know the ms and
outs OF tho tobacco business. bat It does
seem TO us reasonable that the large de-
mand in Richmond for leaf tobacco were
enough 20 brinT the supply TO this market
from the fields Of the planter.
We are very glad TO have heard from
our correspondent and shall be GLAD to
hear from him again and from Others who
are interested IN this great subject. We
ell have tho same object in view. which
IS 10 build up the loose tobacco trade Of
Richmond and discussion Of the question
through the public print may help to pro-
mote that end.
