JUST ABOUT THESE DAYS.

dunno what's tn reason thet along about
this season,
When tn golden-rod is tallest an th'
gyarden's gittin' brown;
When l hear tn crickets honin' an tn
locusts dronin, dronin',
An tn apples in tn orchard one by one
a-dropping down,
Thet sorter drop my hurry an foglt
about my worry
As / loaf aroun' tn pastur' an enjoy tn
autumn haze,
An fogit tn crickets hummin' as feel tn
tear-drops comm,
An | somehow hear tn voices thet
heard in other days.
It's sort OF reviewin' what for years
been a-doin',
An it seems as if tn biggest things were
only childish play;
While tn things most wuth tn keepin', an
for which to-day I'm weepin',
Took advantage of my blindness an have
vanished clean away.
Yes, this autumn air is clearer, an 1t brings
up objicks nearer,
Or perhaps 1t multiplies 'em when see
'em through my tears.
Mebbe thet may be tn reason thet along
about this season
1 kin see tn loves l uster love arrayed
along tn years.
kin hear my mother singin'; l kin feel
her hand a-cllngln'
Aroun' my boyish neck agin an see her
lovin' gaze.
I shall find tn futur' brighter, all my loads
will be tn lighter,
For the dreams thet l am dreamln' as
loaf about these days.

Lake of Black Dye in California.

In the vicinity of the Colorado River
in Southern California there is one oi
the most remarkable bodies of water
in the world. The strange black
fluids bears no resemblance whatever
to water; it is thick, viscid and foul.
smelling. Experiments have proved
it is not poisonous, but makes an ex'
cellent dye. 1t has been analysed,
but its qualities are not yet made
known. The lake is situated about
half mile from a volcano, aud occu'
pies an area of about one acre. Tho
surface is coated with gray ashes from
the volcano, which serves to conceal
il from the view of the unwary trav-
eler, and makes it a dangerous local
ity. Nothing definite is known as to
its source of supply, but 1t Is un'
doubtedly of volcanic origin.
Naturally the Indians have legend
in connection with this remarkable
phenomenon. The lake, they say, is
composed of the blood of their bad
brothers, who are suffering in their
hell, amid the volcanoes. The sur.
rodndings suggestive internal regions
with active and dead volcanoes, spout
ing geysers, boiling springs and a
flake OF ink. New York Tribune.

Walnut Forest of 1911 Exhumed.

Secretary Watson of the Lumber
mems Exchange reported that vast
forest of walnut had been unearthed
in Southeast Missouri. In 1911 an
earthquake in that part of the State
resulted in the sinking of large tracts
of land. Since then there have been
annual floods in that district, each
year adding to the accretions. Awhile
ago two farmers, walking through
part of the district, noticed what to
their eyes seemed to be the ends of
walnut trees sticking out of the
sunken places and tipped over. Re-
membering that vast amounts OF cedar
wood have been dug up in various
places, the farmers reported their OBJ
servations, and the ground was ex-
plored. 1t was found to be rich in
trees of black walnut from twenty
eight to thirty-six inches in diameter.
Secretary Watson states that there
are two parts to a walnut tree. The
centre consists of solid, black wood,
and the rest of the tree is a soft,
sappy growth, which is of little use
for commercial purposes. In these
new trees, Just unearthed, the sap has
all rotted off, leaving only the black
heart or solid portion OF the tree.
This is found to be fine specimen oi
walnut, with an unusual depth oi
color. st. Louis Globe-Demoerat.

The Chicago Board of Education has
set about extending the usefulness of
the public school system upon lines Of
recognized utility. 1t proposes to
make the teaching of cooking and sew
ing regular part Of the training given
to girls, as well as the ordinary rudi-
mental instruction in reading, writ
ing, ciphering and grammar. In
struction in domestic science will not
be optional but obligatory. Expert
ments made in the introduction OF
these new branches of learning have
only served to confirm their value and
practicability as part of any iudici-
Gus system of rudimentary instruction.
Not all the girls who are taught to cook
and sew will of Mt cessity be compelled
to the daily practice of those accom-
plishments, but none will be worse off
for such knowledge, and none can tell
upon what emergent occasion profici-
ency in either craft may prove invalu-
able. When every girl who attends
tho public schools can make shirt,
bake a palatable loaf of bread, and
broil a steak to perfection, what a
country, advanced beyond all others,
the United States will have become!

Crofutt aided in the search; but from
that day on he was stunned man.
He had still a members standing in
the societies, but the brothers avoided
him. His clients, never many, dwin-
died away. Men whose hands he had
clasped in mystic fraternity, crossed
the streets to avoid him, and he walked
a solitary man in the streets, where
the children had shouted his name,
and where his journeys had been often
delayed for hours by the extemporized
ovations of his acquaintances and
friends. He was wise enough to leave
the town; but whittier he went, no one
knows even to this day.
1t is to be hoped, however, no mat
ter where he is, that he has learned
how uncertain is the pedestal on which
very popular men stand, and how great
is the difference between respect and
familiarity.-Saturda Night.

The inadequacy of the plan to make
Rear-Admiral Dewey Vice-Admiral
is in the nature of the title. Vice
Admiral means just what the words
imply, deputy to an Admiral. Admiral
is a noble title. 1t is from the Arabic
Emir.al-mar, which means "Prince of
the Sea-" Admiral is the title given
by every civilized nation except ours
to the commander Of a fleet. The Of
ficer second in command is called
Vice e-Admiral, aud the commanders OF
subordinate divisions in a feet are
called Rear-Admirals. Vice-Admiral
is therefore just like Rear-Admiral, a
subordinate title. 1t implies that its
possessor is subordinate officer. Ad-
miral is title none too good for
Dewey.

Cause and Eject.

The students of certain big medi-
cal college of this city, says the Phila-
delphia Record, are enjoying a good
joke at the expense of one of their
professors. The case in question was
that of young man suffering from
nervous trouble who was introduced
to the clinic.
In some diseases of the nervous sys-
tenn there is an interference of the
blood supply to the smaller blood-ves-
sells of the skin, which show conges-
ton of the venous blood. A common
symptom, for instance, is blue color
in the fnger-tips. The subject before
the clinic ON this occasion seemed to
the physician to afford an excellent il
lustration of this condition.
'Look at this young mans hand,
he said "Do you notice anything
peculiar about them?"
The students when closer to investi-
gate, but no one ventured an opinion
that anything unusual was to be seen.
"What?" went on the professor.
Cant you see the condition of the
patients blood indicated there in the
blue color of his hands? That
proves"
But at this point the patients
mother, who was sitting near by, in
terrupted.
"Why, doctor, said she, ''that blue
is Sye. He works in tannery."
The students laughed, and the pro-
fessor laughed, too, but he suddenly
changed the subject.

The recent announcement of the
remarkable project undertaken by the
West Australian Government, namely,
to lay some 32S miles of water pipe,
made of steel spiral imbedded in con-
crete, has received much attention, in
view of the peculiar kind of pipe to
be thus utilized. In the manufac-
ture of this pipe, the sheet steel, af-
ter being cut into strips of width
varying with the required diameter of
the pipe, is riveted or welded into
continuous strip of the required
length; this strip is then fed auto
matically into the pipe-making ma
chine, aud during its passage through
it the riyet holes are punched, and
aud the laps of the edge of the strips
are brought together under pressure,
and held during the process of rivet-
ing. The rivets are all set by com.
preston. The edge is slightly re.
cessed, throwing the lap on the out
side. In this way the inside dame
ter of the pipe is maintained evenly
throughout the entire length. To
render the pipe water tight on leav-
ing the machine, special hydraulic ce-
ment is inserted between the laps be-
lore riveting.

BILE at a distance of $50 miles, but
opinions still differ as to how far away
thunder can be heard. A French
astronomer has made observations on
the subject, and he declares it impos-
sible for thunder to be heard at a
greater distance than ten miles. An
English meteorologist has counted up
to 130 seconds between the flash and
the thunder, which would give dis
tance of twenty-seven miles.

The New York Sun observes: The

General Skaters army moving away

against Havana would be tried until
after the rainy season. In any case,
she was ready to give up both C1ba

Mia had been a foregone conclusion
ever since Dewey's victory. But
while nothing over the seas immedi-
ately threatened her which she had
not already faced, she could not en-
dure the home panic which would be
caused by an attack of our feet on

Thus the influence of our sea power
