Mr.. Lind had the manhood to redeem

A SONG FOR THE NOBLE.

Love for the noble woman
Who strokes the soldiers head,
Who leans as a sweet. white angel
Above the soldiers bed,
Who kneels and who prays beside him.
Who closes the soldiers eyes,
Who spreads the loved flag DER him
When the weary soldier dies.
Cheers for the noble woman
Who opens her palace door
To the lame and the sick and the hungry.
Who gives of her worldly store
That others who toll. who suffer
BY flood or by fire may know
That God on His throne still watches
And judges the high and the low.
Praise for the noble woman
Who visits the haunts OF sin.
To teach and to win where angels
Alone might hope to win;
Who puts away worldly pleasures,
Ard labors that others may live
To l.r all terrestrial glory!
All the honor men have to give!
And cheers for the noble woman
Who hides no jewels away.
Who complacently pays her taxes
AS the law would compel her to pay!
She smoothes the rough road of tho toiler.
She eases the burdens that bear
On the sick and the lame and the hungry,
And the Lord up above is aware!
The sightless. the orphaned, the helpless
May cherish her Zane with the great.
Who stand fer their homes and country.
Whose duty is first to the state!
He is noble who falls while preserving
The rights that are precious to you
IT'S noble to do just your duty
AS an honest citizen. too!

Apple Trees blossom and Bear Fruit
While You Wait-A Novel
Camera.

According to a Washington CORE
spondent, the department Of agricul-
ture has taken steps toward acquiring
the right to use recent invention, a
kind of mutascope camera, designed for
a kind of picture-making never at
tempted hitherto.
For example, the continuance is set up
in front of stalk of corn just sprout-
ing, and takes photograph of it every
hour for six months, the exposures be-
ing made at such intervals by peculiar
automatic attachment. Subsequently
the film ribbon on which these pictures
are recorded is put into magic lantern
machine of the ordinary sGrt and run
off at the rate of 30 a second, thus CIV
ing to the spectators in five minutes
view on the screen of corn plant grow
ing out of the earth, putting forth
leaves, developing tassel and silk, exhib-
iting the ripened ears and finally de-
caying.
| Anchor this new style of camera in
an open space; attach to it wire, and
| it will make an exposure every two
hours from the beginning to the end of
the year. The result will be ribbon of
the seasons, and in five minutes the
spectators seated in theater will have
an opportunity to behold all the sue
| ceeding phenomena of the year. At first
the ground will be seen covered with
snow, which will vanish as the first
vegetation makes it's appearance. The
trees will put forth leaves with visible
rapidity in the sight of the audience,
and when at last they fall and the land
scape has assumed it's former dreary as
pect, the white mantle Of Jack Frost
will be spread again over the land.
One OF the most interesting of the
photographs made up to date with this
novel apparatus represents an apple
! tree, which is seen in few twinklings
to display its new foliage, put forth
buds and blossoms and ripen its fruit.
Equally notable is picture of sun
flower, snap shots of which were taken
every minute from sunrise to sunset of
q day. When the ribbon is run off at
the rate OF 30 photos second one sees
the flower turn on it's stem steadily, al
ways keeping its face toward the solar
orb. It should be mentioned, by the
way, that the views do not jump about
in the way that is so annoyingly famil-
lar, but are perfectly stationary, owing
to the fact that each "snap" registers
perfectly with the ones preceding and
following.-Boston Transcript.

Strikes End Seems Far OFF.
Cleveland, Aug. 2.-This was the six
teenth day of the present street car
strike III this city, and apparently it is no
nearer settlement now than when it be-
gan.
some unknown persons pushed an cleo
trio freight car loaded with ties from a
switch ON Mayfield Heights, just east Of
the city, on to the main track and down
the long, steep hill toward Euclid avenue.
Half way down the incline it collided
with an up bound car wtle.errific force.
Both cars were badly wicked. Two
passengers were on the up bound car.
Strange to say, neither they nor the crew
were injured beyond severe shaking up.
The Big Consolidated officials state
that every line in their system is in full
operation, and on the more important
lines the regular schedule Is being main
tanned. The cars running down town on
the Euclid and Cedar avenue lines were
fairly well filled. On the other II lines
In the Big Consolidated system, however,
they were comparatively empty at an
hour when they are usually crowded.
The boycott movement has spread so
rapidly that it has now reached the big
down town wholesale and department
stores. In many cases the proprietors Of
these establishments are requesting their
employees not to ride on the Big CONSOLE
dated cars. In some instances, however.
the merchants have flsty refused to tnke
part in the boycott and declare they will
have nothing to do with it, no matter
what the result may be.
A special from Sandusky, O., says:
Sympathizers with the Cleveland street
railway strikers have begun making at
tempts to wreck tn" ears of the Saudus-
Ky and lnterurbNn line here. Large
stones were placed on the track, stakes
were driven between the rails and pieces
of plank spiked across the track so as to
throw the cars off il possible AS soon
as the plot to derai the cars was discoy-

Bear Batting In Olden Days.

So popular was bull batting in olden
days in England that riots followed
the attempt to suppress it in the large
towns. Bear batting was more popular
STILL If that could be. In various places,
Liverpool especially, 1t made part Of
the festivities at the election Of the
mayor, being held before his worship
started for church. Ladies commonly
attended in great numbers There was
a famous bear at Liverpool, which
showed such grand sport in 1882 that
certain fair admirers presented 1t with
a garland, dccked it with ribbons and
carried it to the theater, where a spe-
cial entertainment had been "com-
manded," which Bruin sat out in the
front Of their box. But Of gossip about
bull and bear batting there Is no end.
Enthusiastic lovers Of Shakespeare
read with interest the petition of the
royal bear warden. addressed to Queen
Elizabeth in 1895, complaining that his
licensed performances had been neg
lected of late because every one went
to the theater.
