deniably benefited, the keeper of coun-
try inns and road houses, these inns,
so charming in their old time hospi-
tality, so quaint and homely in their
appointments, and often so redolent of
romance, fell into desuetude. AS the
years went by, many of these were
RACED to the ground, or altered to fit
them for other purposes. But with
merry parties of bicyclers wheeling far
afield there mas arisen new demand
for inns and road houses.
The few that had tried to carry along
old traditions in unpropitious times
awakened to the new era of prosperity,
and new ones have started up in con-
venient locations. The new demand is
somewhat different from the old. Of
course. Entertainment for man and
beast" is no longer required. Nor is
there much request for lodging. The
quaint old bedrooms with huge four
posters. neat chintz draping, spotless
linen, shining brass candlesticks and
glittering candles are no longer re
uuired, even in their modern equiva-
Tents. The wheelman asks mainly for
a pleasant and airy dining room, re-

Great Poets VINO Were Blind.

In the roll of the great poets of the
past two, who hold the very highest
places, were for an important period
of their lives unpossessed of the power
of vision-Homer and Milton. Hap
PLY these renowned followers of the
muses. made good use of their eyes in
youth; otherwise it is scarcely possible
that they could have left to us the
finished pictures of natural scenery and
other visible objects of creation which
are to be found among their compost
tions. Homer had reached manhood
and had written a considerable por-
ton of the "Iliad" before he was at
tackled by that disease of the eyes
which robbed them of their wonted
powers. But the whole of the "Odys-
sey" was composed after the occurrence
of the great mishap. Milton is stated
by most biographers to have perman-
emily lost his sight in 1854 after q
progressive and warning decay of sew
eral years duration. Paradise Lost"
was not published till 1867, and it was
composed when the poet was perfectly
blind.-New York Ledger.

The Tone OF yoloe.

It is not so much what you say,
AS the manner in which you say It;
1t is not so much the language you use,
AS the tones in which you convey it.
"Come hereP' 1 sharply said,
And the baby covered and wept;
Come here!' cooed, and he looked and
smiled,
And straight to my lap he crept.
The words may be mild and fair,
And the tones may pierce like a dart;
The words may be soft as summers
day
And the tones may break the heart.
For words but come from the mind,
And grow by study and art;
But the tones leap forth from the inner
self
And reveal the state of the heart.
Whether you know it or not
Whether you mean or care,
Genteness, kindness love and hate,
Envy and anger are there.
Then would you quarrels avoid
And in peace and love rejoice,
Keep anger not only out of your words,
But keep it out of your voice.
Youths Companion.

II see they are building q two-Btory
house in our back yard" said papa.

Marjorie. People will look right into
our windows!"
Yes" said papa; one of the builders
was sitting on my window-sill this
morning; but when he saw me he few

''oh, you mean a birdi' cried Nan
Nan.
"A pair of the prettiest little yellow
birds you ever saw" said papa.
But what made you call their nest
a two-story house?" asked Tom.
Because it is one" answered papa.
''You see, there is a great, selfish, cow
bird, who is too lazy to build nest for
herself or to take care Of her own
children; so when she spied the nest
our yellow-birds had made, she was
mean enough to leave her great egg in
it for her tiny neighbors to take care
Of"
"I would have smashed it, If I had
been in their place!" cried Tom.
"They were not strong enough to
break it, nor to roll it out of the nest"
said papa, land they did not like to
build a new one in another place; SO
what did they do? They just put in
new floor right over the cowbird's egg
and built the walls of their house a
little higher. So they have left that
egg in their cellar, where it will never
bother them"
Wasn't that smart!" said Nan Nan.
Lets go and watch them"
The children visited the yellow-birds
every day; and they examined the nest
after the young birds had flown away.
Sure enough, safely slowed away in the
cellar, as papa called it, was the cow
birds large, blotched egg.

WORLDS SUBMARINE CABLES.

Over 1900 Ocean Telegraphs of Various
Lengths in Existence.
The submarine cable is now one Of
the leading factors in international
communication At its inception 1t
met with failures, commercial and
otherwise, but as methods of construc-
ton and laying improved, its earlier
risks were largely averted. It now
trails along the mud and sand of the
seas, bangles it's huge loops on sub
marine precipices and across their
dark chasms, and along the gloomiest
caVerns Of every ocean the silent mes
sages of commerce, friendship, diplom-
acy and of governments make their
lightning race around the plane. The
laying Of the first Atlantic cable was
the initial of supreme effort to unite
the family of nations. 1t was costly,
and in a commercial sense. up to a
certain date, failure, but as a triumph
of engineering science it marked an
epoch in international communication.
Other cables had somewhat of a dis
nal beginning, hut enterprises did not
stop at disasters, nor did the engineer
halt at what, after ALL was but tenn
porary obstruction. The good work
continued and has reached such mass
i've proportions that a navy of forty
one telegraph ships, fully equipped and
manned, is distributed over the oceans
of the world, representing a gross ton
mage Of $4,000 tons. The manufacture
of cables represents huge investments
of capital and an army of workers.
Great Britain has so far led the way in
this modern industry, and was for
time as supreme at the bottom as at
the top Of the sea. The honors are
now being divided by France, Italy
and Germany. Manufacture is no long
er an exclusive monopoly. New cables
will continue to be laid. and as time,
corrosiOn, accidents, submarine con-
WILSON'S, and the Entertainments of
marine shell fish and monsters cause
breakage and loss, the supervision of
repairs will be a permanent occupa-
ton both to experts and seamen.

nntterf,ies, Reeutlful Eyes.

A person of an inquisitive turn OF
mind will learn that brilliant wings
are not the only beauty of which but
terfy can boast. His eyes are hard
ly less brilliant. Moreover, they are
very odd. When held up to the light
it can be seen that they are notified
with curious group of dark spots, ar
ranged in regular order, each spot be-
ing surrounded by six others. At the
edge of the surface of the eye are more
spots just coming into sight. Upon
close examination these spots are
found to be regular hexagons in shape.
Whatever their cause, they certainly
present beautiful appearance. How
many of our boys and girls can tell the
nature and use of the hexagons?

Rare Eggs and How to Preserve Them
Voyagers to far-away islands often
discover rare birds whose species they
desire to propagate in their own coun-
try, but which they are unable to
transport without mourning the danger
of losing the captive by death on the
voyage. In order to introduce the
birds into other lands the eggs are
taken home and Matched there. But
this method is also fraught with more
or less risk, as the eggs are quite apt
to spoil during the voyage. To pre-
vent this the following course is often
pursued: Obtain an animal intestine
large enough to receive the egg to be
carried. Remove all fat from the in
t6stine, then cleanse thoroughly with
powdered chalk. Pass the egg into the
intestine, which must then be tied
close to the shell at each end. and
placed in a dry, cool place, When per-
fectly dry the incased eggs are placed
in a box of grain or seeds. Care must
be taken that the box is turned bottom
upward occasionally.

1t may be doubted whether any form
OF outdoor recreation has ever become
more widely popular or has exerted a
more powerful influence than wheeling.
Ever since the first crude form of the
wheel the celerifer was invented in
1880. There have been more or less
intense though generally transient,
crazes for the mode of locomotion. The
early wheels were so clumsy and they
enabled the wheelman to accomplish
so little, that they could scarcely be
expected to awaken any great enthusi-
asm. Every Improvement that was

WHAT POpULISTS SAY.

The persistent and remarkably stimuli
taneous announcement OF the democratic
press of the state that populists were
generally disbanding, caused HERALD
reporter to interview number OF repre-
sentative populis's, with the following re-
suit:

ganization lett, aid | am henceforth q
democrat.
&c. MacCrimmon-I am for the fu-
ture inclined to act with the democratic
party along the lines laid down in the
Chicago platform.
VIM. Lee, sri am positively in favor
of keeping up the populist organization
in state and county. 1t is time enough
to talk of abandoning the reform party
after the national conventions have met
thomas Lund-I am opposed to dis
banding the populist party until such
time as the national democratic party
has acted, and if the goldbugs capture
that organization the populists will be
stronger everywhere than ever.
Jasper d. S.one-It ia folly to talk OF
abandoning reform principles to the
mercy of the democratic leaders. Ii
Bryan should die, who is there to lead
reformers in the democratic organiza-
ton? Farmers want something more
than the free coinage OF silver.

disbsnd until the reforms in government
they demand are completely granted and
settled.
q. III. Moulton-I do not want to break
up and 90 to the democrats. Let US keep
forcing reforms upon them.
S. L. Masters-We have been through
the fire and are purified. Let US hope
that from the ashes we may resurrect our
party which will stand for principles and
work for the interests of the people, and
not allow q few office seekers to run them
and dictate to them.
C. B. Kegley-(of Colfaxl-Let our
popuist and silver republican friends
keep away from the democratic party un-
ill they see what the next national demo-
cratic convention will do.
+. 7. Stump-Never surrender. Keep
our populist people together until reform
is accomplished.
James Kesling: am totally opposed
to giving up our organization.
George Stephenson-I say never give
up. The populist party, if properly or
ganized and led, can carry Yakima
