wrought
What prisoned Ariel within thee broodsp
Marvel of human skill and human thought,
Light as dry leaf in the winter woOdsl
Thou mystic thing, all beautiful what mind
Conceived thee, what intelligence began
And out of chaos thy rare shape designed,
Thou delicate and perfect work of manr
Across my hands thou liest mute and still;
Thou wilt not breathe to me thy secret fine;
Thy matchless tones the eager air shall thrill
To no entreaty command of mine.
But comes thy masteri Lo, thou yieldest all
Passion and patho5, rapture and despairl
To the souls need thy searching voice doth
CALL
In language exquisite beyond compare.
Till into speech articulate at last
Thou seemst to break and thy charmed lis
tener hears
Thee waking echoes of the vanished past,
Touching the source of gladness and of tears.
And with bowed head he let's the sweet wave
Across him, swayed by that weird power oi
thine,
And reverence and wonder fill his soul
That man 8 creation should be so divine

Hov to ReIieve Catarrh.

Nasal catarrh is not entirely a local
disease. Its presence in chronic state
indicates impaired nutrition Of the
whole body. A pure diet, consisting Of
fruits, grains and nuts, vigorous out Of
door exercise, cool morning bath fol-
lowed by vigorous rubbing, are measures
of greater Importance in the treatment
of nasal catarrh than any local remedy.
Nevertheless great relief and palliation
may be obtained by the use Of local
remedies, of which the best are the
vapors of various volatile oils. An ex-
cellent means of applying these oils to
the nasal cavity is the pocket vaporizer.

Report of the Visiting Com
mitt00.

According to appointment the County
Visiting Board of Charitable and Cor
rectional Institutions visited these insti-
tutions and present their report to the
public. The first visit was made at the
Infrmary. We found everything in and
around the buildings in agood condition.
The inmates are we'll taken care of BY
Superintendent W. L. Black and wife.
There are thirty males and twenty-six
females in the institution at the present
time. Eight of these are epileptics and
ak are insane. Three deaths have oc-
urred since the ninth of June. the date
of our last visit. There have been pub
lie religious services conducted for tho
inmates every other Sabbath afternoon
during the summer by the pastors of
Bellefoutaine and Belle Centre at no ex-
pense to the county. Provision has
been made by which funeral services are
held, and three such services have been
conducted during the past summer. The
sanitary and moral conditions ale good.
The cellar has been cemented recently,
some new floors laid, and there is great
need of kitchen. 1t is too bad that
some of the inmates who are perfectly
sane have to try and sleep in the insane
department, and this is the only place that
the superintendent can provide quarters
for them. There is great need Of more
room for the inmates, and the county 10
we'll able to erect the necessary room.
Some new departments should be erect
ed the coming summer. We should see
that the unfortunates are well taken
care OF, and some of them can not get the
care that they should receive until tho
county provides better accommodations
at the Infirmary.
The next visit was made at the Chill
dren's Home. The building is the just
pride of the county. Superintendent
O. Farnsworth and wife are the right per-
sons in the right place. We found twen-
ty.uine children in the home, Of these
twenty are boys and nine girls. The
children arise in the morning at 5 O'Clock
(standard time,) have worship at 5:45
o'clock and breakfast at 6. The retiring
hour is 7:45 p. m. All but four of the
children are from Wood county. The
