About Famous Old Songs.

Familiar as we are with the song, "Auld
Lang Syne," there are very few people who
know much of its origin. This, however, is
not strange, as it may be said to be veiled
in mystery, so long ago was it written The
song has been popular all over the English
speaking world for over o hundred years.
1t has been commonly supposed that Burns
was the author of the poem, it having been
published in many of his books of poems,
but that has been proven to be a mistake.
He did, however, change the phrasing of the
original into "the tender and beautiful
phrase so peculiarly pathetic and Scotch.
The following stanza was written by Sir
Robert Ayton in 1870:
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never thought upon,
The ilame OF love eXtinguiShed
And fairly past and gone?
ls Ghy kindly heart now grown so cold.
In that loving breast OF thine,
That thou canS't never once reflect
On old long synef"
The song was sung in many different
ways years before Burns heard it, and, as
he says: ut had never been in print nor
even in manuscript until / took it down
from an old mans singing" "Auld Lang
Sype' was a phrase in use in very early
times, and can be traced to the days of
Elizabeth in connection with the social feel.
ings and the social gatherings of the Scot.
The song as we have it now, improved by
the genius of Burns, was first published in
l194. 1t would be well If there were space
to print the poem here, as there is perhaps

DO you know, my little friends, really

Preserving EYeslgh

Up to 40 years of age, bal the eyes
twice daily with cold water.
Avoid reading when lying down or when
mentally and physically depressed.
When the eyes are tired, rest them by
looking at objects from a distance.
Old persons should avoid reading much
by artificial light; be guarded as 10 diet,
and avoid sitting up late at night.
Avoid stimulants and drugs which affect
the nervous system, especially when they
are known to exert an injurious influence.
After so years of age battle the eyes
morning and evening with water so hot
that you would wonder how you would
stand it; fc 'ow this with cold water, that
win make m glow with warmth.
Do not give up in despair when you are
informed that cataract is developing; re-
member that in these days of advancing
surgery it can be removed with little dam
ger to the vision.--Up-to-date.

Good Advice to Bows and Girls.

You must not go into debt. Avoid debt
as you would the devil. Make it funda-
mental rule: No debt-cash or nothing.
Make few promises. ReligiousIy observe
the smallest promise. A man who means
to keep his promises cannot afford to make
many.
Be scrupulously careful in all statements.
Aim at accuracy and perfect franl1ness, no
guesswork-either nothing or absolute
truth.
When working for Others, sink yourself

Don't drink tea or coffee
Drink pure water.
Eat grapes, apples, raisins and figs,
Eat few salted almonds daily.
Don't eat too much animal food.
An egg or two day, soft boiled, instead

Eat an orange every day or so.
Walk two or three miles a day.
Battle the whole body daily in tepid

ner" we are more familiar We have often
read in our histories how Francis Key,
while retained on the British feet during
the attack ON Fort McHenry, composed
the lines under the inspiration of that mid.
night siege. On his return he read to his
comrades, "Oh, say, can you see by the
dawn's early light" etc. They were cap
tiyated by its eloquence; one of them
brought out his flute and some old music,
playing until he finally struck one that
he fitted to the words. Listening comrades
caught the strains until the camps were
ringing with that stirring tune of which
we are so fond and proud
America was composed by the Rev.
Samuel Francis Smith in 1882, and was
written to the tune of God Save the
Queen" TO which it is now sung. Rev.
Mr.. Smith was a college classmate of Oliver
Wendell Holmes, and it was of him that
the witty Mr.. Holmes wrote in that de-
lightful poem entitled "The Boys:'
And there's nice youngster of excellent
pith,
Fate tried to conceal him by naming him
Smith;
But he shouted song for the brave and the
free,
Just read on his medal, "My country, of theel"
DR.. George f. Root wrote "The Battle
Cry of Freedom" also Tramp, Tramp,
Tramp, the Boys Are Marching" "Just Be
fore the Battle, Mother" and "The Vacant
Chair"
"Dixie," that favorite air of the Southern
people, was written in 1859 by Daniel EN-
NETT, a member of minstrel company.
While the boys in blue marched to the tune
of "John Browns Soul is Marching On"
the boys in gray were given fresh spirit by
the lively strains of ''Way Down South in
Dixie Land" etc.
Every one should keep familiar with old
songs, as they are as much part of the
history of the times in which they were
popular as the literature of those times.
Young folks should not only have in their
repertoire the popular songs of the day,
but also such songs as "My Old Kentucky
Home," "Poor Old Joe," "Old Uncle Ned"
30, Susanna" "Massas in the Cold, Cold
Ground" "Suw0uee River" Kathleen
Mavourneen," etc am sure if these songs
were sung Oftener our "Old folks at home"
would much appreciate it.

yourself necessary to those who employ
you, by industry, fidelity and scrupulous
integrity. Sel6shness is fatal.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher
standard than anybody expects of you.

wonder how many of our girls take
proper care of their hair. The first requi
site is cleanliness; the hair should be
washed once every month in soft, warm
water with pure CASTLE soap, or Packers
Tar soap, or the white of an egg-the yolk,
too, if desired; if the latter is used, one
must take pains to rinse all the egg out of
the hair or the head will remain sticky,
which of course isn't pleasant. The hair
should then be trimmed, cutting off all
split ends A good brush and comb are
very necessary. A comb that is not too
sharp is the best; never use a fne-tooth
comb, as it is very injurious TO the scalp.
The brush should have long bristles. Brush
the hair every night and morning for ten
minutes; try and brush the scalp as much
as possible, and not the hair, as any rough
treatment is very bad for the hair. Never
use a comb OH the hair except to clear out
the tangles,

There is a story of the origin of the word
Yankee to the effect that it is an Indian
corruption Of the word English Yenglees,
Yangles, Yankees, and finally Yankee
Mr.. Fitz-Gerald says, in writing of the
word; "It grew into general use as a
term of reproach thus: About the year
1913 one Jonathan Hastings, farmer, at
Cambridge, in New England, used the word
Yankee as a cant word to express excel
cellence, as a Yankee (gOod) horse, Yankee
cider, and so on. The students at the col
lege, having frequent intercourse with Jon
athan, and hearing him employ the word
on all occasions when he desired to express
his appreciation, applied it sarcastically,
and called him Yankee Jonathan. 1t soon
became a slang phrase among the collie
gians to designate a simple, awkward per-
son; thence it spread over the country till
from its currency in New England it was
at length taken up and applied TO New
Englanders indiscriminately"

GHOW 1T CAME.

The rose was as fair as the lily white,
Yet she sadly dropped on her stem,
Though all would declare
That her beauty was rare
And they called her priceless gem.
"Ah mel" she sighed as she swayed in the wind
"'Tis q lonely life that lead;
would rather some knight
Would shorten my plight
Be he come from mountain or mead"
Just then Sir Breeze whispered soft In hear ear
"My love you are fair" said he.
You are Purty's self,
And we're an elf,
Your lover I'd surely be.
And the fair rose trembled-she almost bushed
Then she felt the bitter tears start,
For her lover had fed;
In the garden bed
Next morn was a bleeding heart.

SLATE CREEK DISTRICT.
New Stamp md Lumber Mills Have
Been Put In.

j. B. White, OF California, arrived at the
Northern hotel yesterday from the Slate
Creek mining country, N the Cascade
mountains, about forty miles from Win
throp. During the past summer he, with
force Of men. has been developing some
gold quartz properties there owned by a
company of California capitalists.
I'VE have just completed the erection
of ten-stamp MILL he said yesterday,
(which Is all ready to begin work just as
soon as the snow will permit operations IN
the spring. We put up a lumber and
shingle mill during the summer and made
our own lumber. There Is an abundance
of good timber in the district and we will
keep these mills running during the en-
tire summer season.
1.-THE Slate Creek country is proving
bonanza and far beyond any hope OF the
past. There is tremendous body of gold
quartz running from so to $35 ton, and
during the past summer a large amount OF
gold bullion was shipped out from the dis
trict. Next year there will be more than
double the amount. Our mill will crush
fifty tons of rock per day, and We have
very good prospects ahead Of us.
"The snow Is now deep in the noun
tains and we will probably not be able to
do any more work before June next. There
will be no rock at all shipped out. Other
mills will be put in next summer and the
bullion will be made on the 1found.'
