Patter of the Feet Upon the Floor

OF the childish voices sweet;
And hearken to the patter

The patter of the little feet upon the oak

They climb upon the sofa.
And make horses of the chairs;
They bring the yellow mud in.
And leave marks upon the stairs;
And yet there's nothing in this life that
is to US more sweet
Than the pitter -patter. pitter patter Of
those little feet,
They love to run and gallop,
And make dreadful din;
They love to kick poor pussy.
Nor deem it is a sin,
But when at night the little eyes are
closed in sleep so sweet,
We miss the pitter patter of the restless
little feet.
Poor grandpa says. BE quiet,
And yet me read minute:

But when he is away from home he al

The welcome pitter patter of those noisy

o little feet so eager;
o, little hearts so true:
Dear little hands SO willing,
And little eyes so blue:
God grant that when We all shall meet
upon the other shore
Well hear the petter OF your feet upon

Friday night and took the train fer

ago, when he was here. he was accom-

Excitement at Cedar.
Since the announcement of the sue
cess attained by the application of the
Hemingway process for coking coal,
however, Cedar City, the future Pitts
burg of the west" has become greatly
excited. People there have come to
realize the Importance of the situation
and prospectors have been locating
ground all over the coal and iron dis
tricts where it was found available.
Mr.. Taylor expressed the opinion
when seen at his hotel last night, that
it was difficult for any one TO realize
the magnitude of the iron deposits in
the Pinto district. An eminent geolo-
gist who visited the county short time
ago said the ores surpassed anything
1 have ever seen. both in regard TO
quantity and quality. and will make as
large if not a larger yield in iron than
any other ever known.
The ores consist of magnetic, red
hemitite and other classes, the lowest
grades yielding net less than IS or 80
per cent, while others run up to 20
per cent"
The Cedar Sheep company attempted
a few weeks ago TO drill a we'll at Iron
Spring gap, between two great iron
deposits. At a depth of something over
200 feet solid iron ore was cut into,

on the cells is to paralyze them, and
the unfortunate man dies.
There is some relation between extra
ordinary activity of the mind and in
sanity. Geniuses are apt to exhibit
symptoms of mental alienation, and,
singular to relate, their children ara
usually inferior to those of average
men.
For instance, not to go out of our
country for example, Cromwell was a
hypochrondriac, and had visions; Dean
Swift inherited insanity, and was him
self not little mad; Shelley was called
by his friends, Mad Shelley" Charles
Lamb went crazy; johnson was another
hypochrondriac; Coleridge was a NOR
bid maniac. Milton was of a morbid
turn of mind, nearly approaching insan-
ity (modern ideas of hades are largely
formed on the description evolved by
his diseased Imagination. and Byron
said he was visited by ghosts
This mental alienation occurring in
the foregoing cases shows that certain
specific baneful influence of the guild
ing spirit called talent or genius, which
has used UP all the energy stored in
each cell, and each group of cells, to
the detriment of the whole, with the
result that their ceasing work has
brought about various types of insan-
ity as depicted, or, to phrase it more
softly. induced disturbance of the
mental equilibrium.
The remaining problem is absent
mindedness. This is produced by
temporary distinction of certain groups
of cells. A man becomes so absorbed
in his study of some particular sub
ject and lends his whole mind to
thought, that the hard thinking disor-
ganizes the groups of cells employed
in the process of reflection, their ten
tacles being turned all one way. to the
detriment of mental action generally.
and so the man with the tentacles of
his brain cells turned in one direction
passes along the streets lost to all OBJ
servation or mental inception. and does
all manner of queer things, because he
is not conscious of what he is doing.

He Saw the Point.

A former attorney general of the
United States. in a recent article. tells
the following anecdotes of Mr.. Justice
Miller of the federal supreme court:
Judge Miller was very agreeable
man socially. but in the later years of
his life became somewhat impatient
upon the bench. He was no orator him
self and seemed to have an aversion to
all attempts at oratory in court. l have
seen him on more than one occasion
disjoint with sharp questions a beauti-
fully prepared speech with which an
ambitious orator expected to charm
and captivate the court. One midsum-
mer day. as it is said he was holding
court in a western state. and a lawyer.
whom we will call Brown, was ad-
dressing him in a long, rambling
speech. The judge listened and famed
himself and fidgeted about ON the
bench for some time. and. finally. lean
ing over his desk. said in an audible
whisper. "Confound it Brown, come to
the point"
What point?" inquired the some
what astoniShed lawyer.
Any point" responded the judge;
and. though the sequel does not appear
it is probable that there was a rapid
condensation of talk in that courtroom
after this short colloGuy.

Cause and Effect.

Several years ago the inmates of q
small. respectable dwelling house in
Philadelphia discovered upon the white
washed wall of one of the rooms the
likeness of a human face, which faded
and returned again. The neighbors
came in to view the wonder. Other
faces appeared and vanished. Crowds
thronged the house and street, and ac-
counts of the mystery were printed in
the daily papers
1t was TO no purpose that scientific
men insisted that the figures were
caused by moldy growths which came
and went with the dampness and that
the likeness to the human face was
imaginary. The house was pronounced
by the public to be haunted. and the
owner was unable to find a tenant for
1t for years.

ANIMAL ANTAGONISTS.
beasts Confined In Cages Fight For
the Sake of Fighting.


Fights in sheer devilment sometimes
take place between animals in confine-
ment. A short. sharp battle took place
in Edmonds' menagerie between a
lion and a tiger 40 years ago. The lion
was the same which had escaped from
Jamrach's yard in what was then Rat
cliff Highway and bitten a boy. Mr..
Edmonds bought it, and is said TO have
billed 1t as the tiger that swallowed
the child" OF course. the beast was
a great draw, but after a few days in
its new quarters the tiger managed
to draw forward the sliding shutter
and squeeze itself into the adjoining
den, where a lion was confined The
lion resented the intrusion. but was i'm
mediately seized by the throat, and,
though there were tremendous strug-
giles. the fight was practically over as
soon as it commenced. The tiger never
loosed its hold, and in q few minutes
the lion was dead.
About 20 years later a fatal fight
took place in the lion house of the Zoo
logical gardens, Regents park, between
q tiger and tigress. The latter was
illtempered, and, in sparring with her
mate, drove her claw through his nos
tril. and so began the fray. The tiger
threw her down. and struck her several
times with his paw. but without doing
serious damage. and then turned away
as if to discontinue the fight. This the
tigress would not suffer. for she sprang
at his flank and fixed her teeth in his
thigh. This was more than he could
stand. One wild bound freed him; in a
moment she was knocked over, and he
gripped her by the neck, in which his
huge canine teeth made fearful
wounds. Sutton, the keeper, now
managed to drive him off. and he used
to say that when the tiger loosed his
hold the blood spouted from his vic
TINS neck and splashed on the roof OF
the lofty den.-Cassell's Magazine.
