THAT LITTLE ROOM, TOP FLOOR.

Our dream came true. and we own-we
/ The beautiful home we planned
In the old glad times Of the sweetest
rhymes,
When I sought your fair. white hand
, When my hearts request was to build q
nest,
''Next thing to Hsavenw I swore;
And 1t was, for oh, Love dwelt, you know,
In that little back room, top floor.
II seemeth well we here should dwell,
And settle us down and sup,
And sing our lays to the good old days
When we could not settle up.

And our hearts were sometimes sore
When the landlord sent for his past due
rent
or the little back room, top floor.
Like fieeting year It seems, my DEAR
But l know 1t was long ago,
For your tresses rare are now more fair
Than they were at the time-you know
(The months my brain in a wild, deep pain,
Refused to serve us more)-
They were sold to stay the wolf away
From the little back room, top floor.
The gods have brought the gifts we sought,
For we own our vine and roof;
But my heart still strays to the strange,
sweet days
When the MUSES. held aloof.
And my thoughts feet ship makes many
a trip
To a far-cff golden shore,
While steal the themes for all my dreams
From that little back room, top floor.

their lsborious movements. Then
came Q curious and unexpected sight 10
Mr.. Edwards. Every pigeon closed its
wings. and they appeared to be the size
Of sparrows, and down they came past
the hawk at terrific rate. That
astonished the hawk. It actually lodged
the dropping birds and missed half =
dozen wing strokes before it got in full
chase of them. When it got down to
the barnyard not Q pigeon was in sight
-some were In the cote, some were in
the porch. two were in the well house,
and one in the kitchen. The hawk had
been outwitted completely. It y .

wonasrfur Results from Hot Air Expsrs.
ments In Phi1adei ph1a


ments In Philadeiphia.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned from a new method Of treating
rheumatic affections which has j,st
been tried In this city before the coun-
ty medical society.
The method consists In the local an
plicaton of hot air to the parts affected.
The apparatus by which this IL accom-.
plished consists Of copper cylinder,
under which several gas Jets are kept
burning. Into this cylinder the limb
is inserted and the ends are closed.
Stop-cocks are arranged to let out
moisture exuding from the skin, and
the temperature is raised to ESQ to 28D
degrees. Precautions are taken to pre-
vent the limb from coming in contact
with the hot metal, and the applica ton
Is continued for fully 40 min utes.
Two patients were brought in for the
experiment. One was man who had
been under the care of n physician, who
was present, for several months, and
had been gradually growing worse.
He was unable to move his toes or his
ankle, and any motion of the limb
caused excruciating pain. At the end
of 40 minutes, during which time his
temperature was raised nearly two de-
grees, as shown by the mouth ther-
mometer, and his pulse increased about
16 beats per minute, the limb was taken
out of the cylinder; the patient moved
his toes as freely as does a child, bent
his ankle without difficulty and walked
with ease, feeling no pain. Other
rheumatic pains in other portions Of
the body had also disappeared.
The second patient was negro who
was suffering from long-continued
lumbago, and who uttered many groans
as he was being placed on an apparatus
which inclosetl his back. He was also
subjected to the heat for 40 minutes,
and when told to rise he sat up us read
lily as when in perfect health. The
temperature in the first case was from
24S to 26O degrees Fahrenheit.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor that these
men would probably be better in the
morning than they appeared to be when
the experiment closed, and that in most
cases one application is sufficient.
Where extensive deposits had been
made several applications were neces-
sary to remove them. The system has
been in use in the principal hospitals
of London with wonderful success.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor that
this method dissolved and carried
Oft the deposits upon the bones and in
the muscles, and THAI this effect ex-
tended in q greater or less degree to
the whole body. The apparatus used is
now for the first time brought to the
notice Of the medical fraternity Of this
country-Philadelphia Press.

The werk Of Indians.

In q report on the ditching or irriga-
tion work Of the Crow reservation from
superintendent Graves, It IL said that
about 65 per cent. Of the work has been
done by the Indians. and from 10 TO Is
per cent. by whites intermarried in the
tribe. Logging u an important irdus-
try on some reservationA For exsmple.
the Menomonees alone cut and banked
17.000. 900 feet Of logs last winter. One
source Of Indian occupation not yet
mentioned II the show business. Per-
missions are generally refused to take
Indians for this purpose, but It was
different when Buffalo Bill Cody and
his partner, Nate Salisbury, applied,
and last spring they received the right
to take 100 reds1kins from the Dakotas,
New Mexico and Oklahoma, giving Q
bond Of $4,000 Tor the purpose. A
privilege 70 take 100 Indians on sim
liar bond was also given to tho To-
ol0gical society Of Cincinnati for sx-
hibitions in that place.--N. Y. Sum.

NEEDLESS IMPORTS.

Cslifornia Imports Products That Should
Come from the state Itself.
In the second list are many of the
commonest articles Of consumption,
which California might readily produce
at home, but for which it sends mill
lions Of dollars abroad each year. The
imports of pork and its products range
as high as $s,OO0,00O or S1o,0O0,O00
each year. Condensed milk is not only
q very important article Of consump-
ton in mining camps and great
n nchcs, but is largely shipped abroad
for the Asiatic trade. It II brought
across the continent from New Jer-
sey. California also sends beyond its
borders from $20.000,000 to $25,O00,-
900 annually for the item OF sugar,
which should not only be produced in
sufficient quantities to supply con-
sumption. but for export as well.
It Is q curious fact that many Of the
fir est fruit preserves sold in San Fran
cisco bear French and italian labels,
and that the supply Of canned sweet
corn comes mostly from Maine. Es-
sential oils made from the peelings Of
citrus fruits are also imported. It is
not uncommon to find orange marma-
lade which has been prepared In
Rochester, N. T., the oranges having
been shipped eastward. and the manu-
factured product westward, at cost
Of two transcontinental freights. Inn
ports are by no means confined TO
things which require capital and ma
chinery for their manufacture. Chick
ems, turkeys and eggs are largely
brought from outside. A single COM
mission house In San Francisco inn
ports 500 900 chickens every year.
Thus q good many thousands of ths
new settlers can profltably be employed

proportion of those who are speculat-

THE monopolies are standing to-
gether. Trusts, combines and cor
porations always stand together.
Ever since Columbia was incorpora-
ted, its business men have paid thou
sands of dollars of toll every year to
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. But whoever heard of a soul
less corporation having any graft
tude. The way the Telegraph Co.,
repays this people for their years of
liberal support, is to join forces with
a brother eXtortioner to help break
down the Citizens Telephone Co.
And not only that, but when a petit
ton. signed by all the subscribers to
the Citizens phone, is presented the
telegraph company, asking permits
sion to place free phone in their
office, for the convenience of the
public, they will not even conde-
scend to answer the petition, but
contemptuously add insult to injury
by declining even to give a cOur-
teous refusal. These twin brothers,
united by a common sympathy and
banded toge ther for common pur-
pose to exact unjust toll from the
same people! And yet we find some
of our people patrOnizing the Bell
because it is cheap, Aiding and
abetting in its effort to starve out
the peoples company because it is
cheap! Patronizing an open enemy
to their community, because it is
cheap! Giving aid and comfort to a
foreign corporation in it's purpose
to fitch from their neighbors eXtor-
Tomato tolls, because, forsooth, it is
cheap! We are not surprised that
these corporations will help each
other, hut we are surprised that citi-
zens of this town and county Will
aid and abet them.
