Sweetheart Of MY Salad DAYS.


My salad days, when I was green in
judgment ShakespC are.
Oh, where shall the language find
To paint for your delightful gaze
That rara avis of mankind,
The sweetheart of my salad days.
His nose was large, his eyes were
small
His ears like sails, set rather high,
He had no hair. no, none at all,
And was but twice as old as /.
I can not laud his strength of will,
His sense of wit, his intellect,
He served both God and Satan i'll,
Yet gave to both due respect.
His clothes were corduroy for best,
His social standing in haze
/ think he never owned a vest,
The sweetheart Of my salad days.
And yet, as women will, you know,
Sometimes when all the lights are
dim
The past comes back; until I grow
Half-saddened as I think Of him.
For somehow. fame and love and
pride
Can never thrill my heart to praise
AS did that one whom | deride
The sweetheart of my salad days.

Cheery-Eating Foxes.


1t is well known that several species
Of the dog family in North America to
some extent feed on fruit. The do
nestle dog is, of course, accustomed
to a mixed diet, of which flesh consti-
tutes only a small part. We have seen
many dogs that would eat apples, and
others that would swallow down grapes
as fast as they were offered to them.
Domestic animals, however, have per-
verted tastes, and offer no guide as to
what wild animals will do
On the northwestern coast we have
seen the droppings of gray or timber
wolves which were composed almost
entirely of the seeds of the salmon
berry, while it is well known chat the
| coyotes of the southwest feed to a
very considerable extent on the fruit
OF the prickly pear. The foxes of
Alaska and the northwest coast feed
almost entirely on the wash of the
beach, which consists largely of fish
and shell flesh; our own red fox in
times of scarcity eats fish, crabs, shell
fish, eggs and even insects. The South
American guara lives largely on fruit
and roses as does the so-called raccoon
dog of Japan. The African fennec,
| which is a fox, is fond of dates, and is
said to be able to climb date palm in
order to obtain the fruit. There is
crab-eating dog in South America,
which may be assumed to take it's
name from the food it lives on. In
general terms, it may be stated that
the dog-llke animals of southern coun-
tries appear more disposed to adopt
vegetable diet than those inhabiting
the north.
The food habits of the raccoon and
of the bears are we'll understood to be
| omnivorous, and beechnuts are said
sometimes to be eaten by the fisher or
black cat. The gray fox is more given
to eating vegetable food than the COM
moner red fox of the north, although
fruit is sometimes eaten by that
species. 1t is said that occasionally the
gray fox tears down the cornsfa1ks and

foxes Of ola IS shown by this quotation,
attributed to him whose name has be-
come as a proverb for wisdom, '"Take
us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil
the vines; for our vines have tender
grapes"
The fox grapes of eastern America,
however, SO familiar to every country
dweller, are believed to have received
their name not from the fact that they
are eaten by foxes to any extent, nor
from the further fact that they hang
high and SO are inaccessible, but from
the slightly foxy Or musky odor which

BarkIess Dogs.

[ knew a man who trained a dog
never to bark. Three years were
necessary for perfect success n the
making of non-barking dog, and my
friend f1attered himself that he had a
novelty. But I am inclined to think
that he would not have wasted those
three years had he known that there
are at least three varieties that never
bark-the Australian dog, the Egyp-
tan shepherd dog and the "lion-head.
ed'' dog of Thibet. In some Japanese
cities non-barking dog would be
deemed valuable, for there they have
a quaint law which makes the owner
Of night barker liable to arrest, and

The Princess Chimay.

Nothing says the London Chroni-
Gle, has been heard of Princess Chi
may for long time, but probably this
is due to the fact that her domestic
troubles are now at an end and that
her husband has forgiven her for her
indiscreet adventures with the Hun
garian gypsy Rigo. The prince and
princess are now in Paris, and the last
that was heard of the violinist Rigo
was to the effect that he was some
where in Africa. Photographs of the
princess are no longer on sale either in
Paris Or Vienna, and big sums are con-
sequently offered for the picture of her
as she appeared on the Partisan

whether these so-called affidavits are
true. If a trust or other combination
can escape the consequences of it's

UNsANlTARY SLEEPING CARS.
New York Man Finds Reasons for
Complaint.

New York Man Finds Reasons for
Complaint.
A correspondent in the New York
Herald says: Permit me to make
strong plea to your paper for an ag1ta-
ton which may end in a complete re-
form of the present furnishings OF
sleeping car. Of the comforts OF the
present system of American sleeping
cars shall say nothing. All know
that the comforts are greater than the
discomforts, and that we are all glad
to avail ourselves of the sleeping car,
but there are many furnishings in a
sleeping car which are Simply horrible,
obsolete, and not in keeping with the
advance of the times. I refer to the
heavy stuff curtains which surround
the berths, and to the heavy wooden
blankets which are used for covering.
l am strongly of the opinion that these
should be of cotton, SO that at the end
of each trip they might be washed and
sterilized and issued fresh for an ensu-
ing trip.
The heavy wooden coverings at pres
ent one night cover a consumptive,
whose exhalations infect them; an
other night catarrh infected person,
and other nights they cover and in
close all sorts Of contagious and infec-
tious diseases, so that the physically
sound occupants of these berths often
contract diseases from their prece-
dents.
icsi in
ings of the seats and lounges. These,
instead of being covered with heavy
plush velvet and such like rough stuff,
to which microbes and germs are pecu-
liarly liabale to cling. should be COW
cred. with material which could be
sterilized or disinfected daily. The
heavy plush and other carpets of the
floors also should be of a fiber which
would allow of disinfection and cleans
ing. At present such carpets are a
horror.
One of the gravest nuisances con-
nected with sleeping cars is that of the
car porter, who every morning, with
clothes broom, brushes off from each
individual the germ laden dust accum-
ulated on the journey. 1nIS dust ILLS
the car in clouds and is inhaled by the
occupants, to their great discomfort
and extreme physical danger. Often,
too, passengers come aboard who have
been recently in houses containing
sick or whose clothes are infected by
sickness, and these people have any
germs which they may carry on their
clothes brushed off into the air of the
car for their fellow passengers to in
hale.
must strongly refer to the made
quate toilet facilities. I have aften
travelled in sleepers containing Two
wash basins, in which fifteen to twenty
men have tried to battle in thirty min
utes. Instead of two basins there
should be more and of more modern
and common sense type. In word
sleeping cars should be, more than any
other cars, thoroughly hygienic, in
stead of the horrible begilded, he

Gave Uo His Job.

A good joke is going the rounds that
during the progress of a sanctifed
meeting at Island, KY, an over-zeal-
Gus brother concluded he was the
means of transportation from this
earth to the better land. So, lower
ing himself upon his hands and knees,
he cried out: ANY one who wants
to go to heaven, get on and let's CO."
Two or three men rode the brother to
the front where he threw them of
like bucking broncho, when upon
his return he called for another pas
senger, and young man equipped
with two heavy spurs mounted the
conveyance provided and began to
drive the rowels into each side, which
caused the improvised mule to
quicken his pace, and the passenger
was soon landed. Thus ended the
scene, andn 0 other happy convert has
had the privilege of riding into
heaven at this meeting upon the rep
resentative Baal's animal, for he did
not like the Calhoun (Ky.)

HOW A STRIKE is ORGANIZED.
Some of the Difficulties When Many
Nationaities are Involved.

AS may readily be imagined, it is
no easy task to organize the discord-
ant elements representing a dozen diff
ferent nationalities into a labor union
In practice it has been found necessary
to form the unions on the lines of Ian
guage. Among the employees of a
single company there will be found an
English-speaking union, an Italian
union, a Magyar union, and perhaps
half a dozen others. Their meetings
are separate, unless the proposal for
a strike calls for united action, and
obliges them to meet together.
1t is difficult to imagine any scene
more picturesque and dramatic than
enc of these union meetings, where diff
ferent and ordinarily discordant races
are gathered under a single roof and
for = single purpose. The day before
the big strike was ordered [ attended
such meeting a few miles outside of

On Memory's Wall.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall
Is one of the dim old forest,
That seemeth the best of all;
Not for it's gnarled oaks'olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant ledge,
Coquetting all day with the sunoeams
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the veins on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cow
slip,
It seemeth to me the best.
I once had a little brother,
With eyes that were dark and Deep
In the lap of that dim old forest
He Iieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful sum-
mers,
The summers Oh IOuS dSO'
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes
/ made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
NV neck in a sweet embrace,
AS the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the treetops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one Of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.
