FRAGMENT.

The chestnut season has arrived-we
hear tho shouts Of glee
From maids that stand a-laughing
whilo their fellows shin the tree:
Tho girl gets all the chcstnuts and
the boy gets cXei else,
Or, If he falls, perhaps be wins a
mansion in The skies:
But If be reaches home alive he solemn
ly AYERS
That he will never go again while
Chostnuts grow in burrs,
And then he rubs somo vasaline up
on his damaged skin
And wonders whcro in thunder
The
Fun
Comes
In.

YM. II A Cake walk.

The popularity of the Cake Walk as fmeans of entertainment is in- ereasing daily among society people.
 A grand cake walk was given last Monday night at the '. NJ H. A. hall for the benefit of the association. The cake walk was amost successful affair in every way, The walk was largely attended by the society peo- pie.
 The walk for the cake lasted quite a while and was interesting and amusing. The walkers were grace ful and artistic in their movements, and acquitted themselves admirably.
 The Judges for the occasion were Gen. H. King White, and Messrs Jeff Hicks and Harry Oliver. After the walk was over they retired to con- suit as to who was the most graceful couple. After much mature de- liberation, the beautiful cake was awarded to Mr. Will Benton and lady, Miss Brunette Altschul. After the cake was presented to the win ners they donated it to the ' M Fl A, to be rallied off, the most pop ular young lady present to get the cake. Miss Altschul was again the winner.
 A delightful german followed the cake walk,
 Music was furnished by the Italian Orchestra. The german was thor oughly enjoyed and lasted til early morning Elegant refreshments were served at q seasanable hour.
 A very neat sum was realized from the cake walk for the benefit of the Y. NJ. II. A.

1a sssss CRYING AS A SAF ETY. VALVE.
se,sntino Declaration That ea Good Cry"
 Ia E,enal lleiaI.

Scientific Declaration That 'ia Good Cry
 Is Beneficial.
 The Hospital declares that the popu- lar belief that "a good cry gives at times a salutary relief has good seien- tific foundation. A writer on that sub iect says:
 s'Crying is so commonly associated with distress that man s natural ln' stinet is to put a stop to it as soon as possible. We should not forget, how ever. that it has it's uses. Dr. Harry CampbelI has recently shown how com plex are the phenomena involved Ill a good cry. This does not consist merely in the shedding of tears, but includes so general and widespread an action of the muscles that the whole body may be con- yulsed. In children also great change takes place during crying ill the mann@ in which the respiration IS carried on Aspirations are prolonged sometimes for as much as half minute and are ln- terrupted by short inspirations, During expiration the glottis is contracted so that the intrapulmonary pressure rises considerably, and there can be but little doubt that it is the equal distribution or this increased air pressure throughouV the whole of the chest, leading to the dilatation of portions of the lungs that have become more or less collapsed, that is the explanation of the great benenG which often results from crying in cases of infantile bronchitis and of the large discharge of bronchial mucus which so often follows. Children may become very blue during the paroxysm, but the deep respirations which succeed quickly restore the circulation to better con- dition than before in consequence of the larger lung space rendered available. In women the beneficial effect of a good cry is proverbial. In them also this IS partly due to the increased depth of respiration and the improvement ill tho often languid circulation thereby ln- duced, but to @ large extent it is the re, suit of the muscular exercise involved, by which the general vascular tension, and especially the blood pressure in the brain, are much reduced. The profuse flow of tears no doubt also acts strongly on the cerebral circulation in still fur ther reducing tension. The sobbing movements, again, have good influence upon the venous circulation in the ab- dominal and pelvic viseera, while the exhaustion produced tends to produce sleep and thus to give the nervous sys- tenn its best chance of recuporation. We should not, then, too hastily intervene to stop Q woman from having out her cry. If we can remove her trouble, by all means let us do so, but if the trouble is to remain, let her cry herself to sleep, This is far better than soothing drafts. 7"

AN AFRICAN POISON STORY.
Strange Phenomenon Witnessed In tho
 Northeast of the Dark Continent.

Northeast of the Dark Continent
 Charles M. Stern of Chicago, who TO- turned to this city after Q journey through northeast Africa, told of . curi- ous meteorological phenomenon which he observed in district called Gwallah. eThe vegetation in that region is very luxuriaDt. D said he, aand the plant life must give off an unusually large quan- tity of earbonio acid gas. At least that was the conclusion I reached after soo- ing three natives die and four or five dogs.
 ''The moment the animals put their noses close to the ground they would fall over and gasp and die in about five minutes. The natives who died slept on the ground instead of in hammocks as others did. I saw hundreds of dead birds. My theory Is that stratum of the deadly gas covered the ground for Q depth of three or four inches, and any living thing breathing in that area would be asphyxiated.
 "I could not understand, however, how the gas was not distributed in a thinner layer and what kept 1t in one place for a whole day Nothing like it had ever been known there before. The deaths of the men and the dogs all oc. cured within 24 hours. Then the gas, if it was really gas, seemed to dissipate. It was a very strange occurrence, and I might have been induced to make a more exhaustive investigation if my presence had not excited distrust. ge& away as quickly as possible rather than be accused of being the cause of ths sudden deaths The natives are super stitious and attribute most of their mis- fortunes to witchoraft, so I thought it the part of wisdom to get away.

plant Culturs by -Amnt.ura.

Amateur florists should study the habits of tho plants in their collections ip order to give the special care needed by each variety, writes Eben B. Rexford in The Ladies Home Journal "Not only does this advice apply pertinontIy to wa tertng, but to tho position in the window. Your plant window may bea southern ons which will admit great deal of sunshine. This will exactly suit geraniums, hello, tropes, roses and plants of that class, but bogonias. primroses and many other plants adapted to house culture are not particu. larly fond of strong sunshine-in fact, are often injured by full exposure to 1t. It is possible to find out exactly what course to pursue and to effect compromise between these two classes of plants without a change of yhdows. Find out what plants tiko partial shade and givo thom positions in tho rear of the sun loving plants In this way the plants which require sunshine will not bo robbed of 1t, and those which do not require sunshine will not bo harmed by having aD excess of it.
