Salinas Compliments

This is the courteous way in which
the Salina Union refers to Abilene's
Fourth:
"About five hundred Salina people
went to Abilene yesterday to celebrate
the Fourth-but they didn't They
would have had very good time if
Abilene had not failed to get up a
celebration. A merry-go-round, a
clown band and a few other dinky
things made up the program. If the
entire population of Abilene will
agree to attend Salinas street fair we
will let the matter rest. II not, we
will take legal steps to get our money
back n About the hottest thing
in Abilene yesterday was the sun. n
Abilene had lightning bugs for
fireworks.
1t is exceedingly pleasant to enter
tain guests so appreciative of hospi-
tality. 1t makes a town desire to re-
turn the compliment at the earliest
opportunity. Abilene endeavored to
make its visitors feel at home and
supposed that it was doing so-bu'
it seems that we failed. 1t will be
tempting to reprint this compliment,
at intervals between now and Salinas
exhibition.
The Republican prints an extended
report Of the day here but refrain'
from saying anything complimentary
except to praise the fireworks as
"more than ordinarily good" II
abuses the railroad accommodation
as "abominable.'

a bad case Of liver complaint wher

There is more Catarrb in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure Oh the

ChiIdren's Sundays.

In one family, where from earliest
years Sunday was pronounced the hap
piest day of the week, and looked for
ward to with the glad anticipation
often reserved for merrier holidays, it'll
was the custom to keep always the
best things for 1.-THE loveliest flowers,
the daintiest fare, the finest fruit, the
newest books and pictures.
After the morning service. to which
all went from the time the children
were three years old, there was album
dance of leisure. such as the other
brimful days of the week never saw,
for the mother to devote herself to the
happy entertainment of the little ones.
even baby taking delight in the hymns
ii not I'M the Bible stories. 1t was not
thought needfuI to Danish dollies with
the other weekday and noisier toys,
for to the imaginative little daughters
they seemed so like real babies that it
would have been cruel.
In this bright. real home of many
years ago. the youngest daughter took
especial delight in the repetition to her
dollies, with their fresh. white dresses
of her favorite Bible stories and hymns
sung with heart and voice in full ac-
cord. Listening to the earnest recital
of what the little one had herself been
taught, the mother saw no reason fol
interdicting so sweet and natural q
way of impressing the lessons received
and making the hours fly on swift
bright wings. No touch of irrever-
ence mingled in the child's occupation
To her vivid imagining it was all rea
all true, and when the Gay closed witt
prayer and the Bible reading, and the
loving talk beside the pillow in fullel
leisure than other days could afford, Il
took not many hymns to sing them int,
blissful dreamland. For the boys, be-
side what they could share with thei
sisters. there was an endless fund o
enjoyment with their various pets an6
strolls in the garden and grounds, will
plenty of lovely books and pictures re
served expressly for the Lords owl
day. The memory of transient cloud
has all faded in the distance. and tn
hearts of those children travel bacl
still as on bridges of light to the Sun
days of their early years.-Sunda.

Nature Study.

| am often asked by editors of edu-
cationaI journals and by teachers and
principals of schools to write or talk
upon nature study. My reply is. Why
should |, who never study nature.
write or speak upon Nature Study? l
have loved nature and spent many of
my days in the fields and woods in as
close intimacy with her varied forms 81
life as | could bring about. but stu
dent of nature in any strict, scientific
sense / have not been. What knowi-
edge | possess of her creatures and
ways has come to me through con-
temptation and enjoyment rather than
through deliberate study of her. i
have been occupied more with the
spirit than with the letter of her
works. In our time. it seems to me. too
much stress is laid upon the letter
We approach nature in an exact, cal
culatng, tabulating. mercantile spirit
We seek to make an inventory of hei
StorehouSe. Our relations with her
take on the air of business, not of love
and friendship. The clerk Of the fields
and woods goes forth with his block of
printed tablets upon upon which, and
what he sees. and suppose foots it all
up and gets at the exact sum of his
knowledge when he gets back home.
He is so intent upon the bare fact that
he does not see the spirit or the mean
ing of the whole. He does not see the
Ord. he sees an pathological speci-
men; he does not see the wild
flower, he sees a new acQuisi-
ton to his herbarium; in the bird S
nest he sees only another prize for his
collection. OF that sympathetic and
emotional intercourse with nature
which soothes and enriches the soul he
experiences little or none. Though
thasportsman has long since died out OF
me, yet | sometimes react so strongly
against these calculating nature
students that | am glad when my boy
takes his gun and goes forth upon the
river for ducks or into the marshes for
woodcock, instead of upon a biological
or bOtdnical cruise. He will get q
larger nature. he will get nearer the
spirit of the whole, he will have a more
intense and personal experience. he
will pit his wit against that of the wild
creatures, he will have better disci-
