THE FLIGHT OF THE YEARS.

When one by one the silent stately years
Glide like pale ghosts beyond our yearning
sight,
yainly we stretch our arms to stay their
flight
So soon, so swift, they pass to endless
night
We hardly learn to name them,
To praise them or to flame them,
To knew their shadowy faces,
Ere we see their empty places!
Only once the glad spring greets them,
Only once fair summer meets them
Only once the autumn glory
Tells for them it's mystic story.
Only once the wintry hoary
Wears for them its robes of light!
Years leave their work half done; like men,
alas!
With sheaves ungathered to their graves
they pass,
And are forgotten. What they strive to do
Lives for while in memory Of few,
Then over all Oblivion's waters flow
The years are buried in the long ago!

JAMS Want Power.

1t has been written that no man by
giving thought unto himself can add
one cubit to his stature, but the enter
prising Jap does not despair, and an
ordinance has gone forth exhorting
the people to eat more freely of meat,
with view to increasing the average
height of the race. Whatever results
may follow the method proposed, they
are certain to be long time coming,
but it is only another instance OF the
determination on the part of the
japanese not to let the slightest
chance slip for attaining all the adj
vantages which they see, or think
they see, in Western civilization.

General Forrcst's Sword.

Among the Confederate relics sent
from this city to the Tennessee Cen
tennial Exposition are the sword,
sashes and pistol of General N. B. For
rest and other mementoes of the fa-
nous Confederate chieftain. The sword
may be considered the most famous
blade of modern times, as with it its
owner literally hewed his way to fame,
starting his military career as private
and winning his way step by step to
the rank of Lieutenant General of
cavalry, the highest in the cavalry SER
vice. The sword, unlike most of those
worn by military officers of high rank,
was evidently intended for actual SER
vice and not merely as part of the in
sigma of rank. The blade is long and
sharp, and bears upon its polished sur
face the marks of actual service.
General Forests pistol, the one
worn by him throughout the war, is a
Colts navy revolver of thirty-six cali
ber, the ivory handle of which is dis
colored with age. Like it's companion,
the sword, it has seen much service
and is responsible for many lives cut
short in battle. Besides the sashes
worn by the Confederate there is in
this collection of Forrest relics the bull
let which was taken from the General
after he was so severely wounded at
the battle of Shiloh. All these relics,
together with tiny silken Confederate
flag presented to General Forrest by
some lady whose name is unknown to
the surviving members of his family,
are the property of his son, Captain
William Forrest, who was with his
father from the age of fifteen years till
the surrender two years later In ad.
dition to the military relics of General
Forrest, there is his pardon from the
President of the United States. This
is signed by William H. Seward, Secre-
tary of State. Memphis Scimitar.

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
Proof That the Main Feature OF Boil
ers Was known to the Ancients.

Proof That the Main Feature of Boil
ers Was known to the Ancients.
In two Of the museums of Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heaters which indicate that the
principle of the water tube, the crown
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some 1000
years ago. W. T. Bonner, of Cincinnati,
O., has been Investigating these heaters
and found them to be as interesting as
they are beautiful. One of them con-
sists of an outer shell 10 inches in diam
eter and nearly II inches high, sur
mounted by a themispherical-
ly shaped top. Inside this shell is an
internal cylinder, also having a hem
spherical top, which is ten inches in
diameter and - inches high.
The two shells are connected at the
bottom by a rim, like the mud ring of q
locomotive freboX, and the space be-
tween them was filled with water. The
CRATE was formed Of seven tubes made
from sheet bronze, rolled and soldere
or braZed. These tubes open at both
ends into the bottom of the space be-
tween the sheets, thus forming water
tube CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed on the CRATE
through an opening AS inches high and
four inches wide, closed by beautiful
ly decorated door. The gases from the
fire escaped into the outer air through
three small openings formed by tubes
crossing from the inner to the outer
shell about sc inches above the CRATE.
The whole apparatus was raised about
~ inches on tripod, so as to allow air
to reach the fuel.
In another boiler of somewhat the
same type the outer shell has the form
of an urn, while the inner shell rises
from a water tube CRATE to an opening
in the side. 1t is ~ inches in diameter
at the widest part and 17.6 inches high,
and supported on tripod about four
inches high. Its general shape is much
like that of the silver cream pitchers
known as the Paul Revere patterns, al
though, of course, it is much larger
and has a top closed by a lid. 1t has
been suggested that these utensils may
have served at some time to heat wine
as we'll as water, which suggestion ap-
pears reasonable, as many historians
state that the Pompeiians made great
use of hot drinks. It may be that they
were found iD one of the termpodi or
cafes, of which there were several in

STORIES OF GOLD GALORE.
Alleged Fabulous Wealth in Creeks
Beyond the Klondike.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-The most inter,
esting feature of the mail advices from
Klondike will be the details ofstrikes made
in Stuart and Pelly rivers this summer
Several times since the arrival of Klondike
miners with their nuggets from Bonanza
and Ell Dorado creeks, stories have been
afioat of still richer fields on Stuart creek
and other creeks further east. None OF
the returned Klondikers we're able to give
information on the subject. Many have
mined with limited success on Stuart,
Pelly and other rivers before striking rich
dirt on the Klondike tributaries. The
only hint of what has been found comes
through Surveyor Ogilvie in the following
news from Ottowa, received at Victoria, b.
c.:
"While government officials are reti-
cent as to the latest advices from Surveyor
Ogilvie and Inspector Constantine, the
fact has leaked out that those officers have
assured their departments that scores OF
miners are deserving Klondike for richer
district further east, supposed to be Stuart
river, where it is said still more wonderful
deposits have been discovered this spring"
The last letter from Ogilvie was dated
Yukon river, near white river, June Z,
and contained this information:
GAS the opportunity presents itself to
send you few lines, take advantage of a
friendly log on bank, with my camera
box for desk, to write short account OF
my doings since last wrote, January 50.
81 have made surveys of all claims ap'
piled for at or near Dawson. l surveyed
nearly 1000 claims in Bonanza and Z
Dorado creeks, and got nearly all, if not
all, disputes on these creeks-and they
were many-settled quickly and without
troable, and, as was most important, edu
Gated miners pretty we'll in the require
ments of mining laws. l am now on my
way to Pelly, to make survey of claims APP
piled for there, when will go out via St
NIichaels and San Francisco.
"Pelly river is about parallel with
Stuart river and enters the Yukon about
forty miles higher up. Both rivers are on
the right or east bank of Yukon and many
miles east of Dawson City. Pelly has al
so been prospected by some Klondiker'
with little if any more success than was
Stuart, but this is no proof that othel
prospectors have not been more fortu
nate"

The Uses of Responsibility.

Every mother should remember that
the making of her daughter is of far
greater Importance than tie admins
tration of things in her house, and
every daughter should realize that she
can learn to avoid mistakes only when
she sees them. She enjoys most seeing
her mothers mistakes, and resolving
that when she has a house she will
"never do So" A beginning may b;
made with small and comparatively
unimportant responsibility, and it is
to be remembered that responsibility
and not mere work is the great thing

The American Republic will not consent
to be dictated to in the management of its
internal policy. 1t has regulated its own
tariff laws in the past and will continue to
do so in the future. If European nations
do not wish to trade with us under these
condition they can keep their stuff at home.
We proved during the war of the rebellion
that we could manufacture enough for our
own population when privateers fitted out
from English ports were proving upon our
