A shadow of the Rockies.

The mountains from my window lie outroiled,
Their soleIpn peaks with coronals of snow
Ger which the fires of dawn and sunset flow
And keen. high ridges by fierce winds patrolled
With evening comes mighty cold
Across my doorway the sinks low,
And, high above, the loftier SUBMITS show
Faint. as the twilight tames their outlines bold
Then from the heights the spirit Of repose
Steals earthward, with the peace that long has
lain
Secure amid the deep. untrodden SHOWS
A shadow stream for which my soul is fain,
That from the towering Peak OF silence flows,
And pours its balm upon the toilng plain.

THE Regeneration of the United States:
A Forecast of Its Industrial Evolution, {"
by William Morton Grinnell, is the latest
volume in the Questions of the Day Sc
ries. In the present state of doubt and
enquiry concerning the conditions and ten
denotes of the country, any thoughtful
speculation on this subject is interesting
and that Of Mr.. Grinnell is no exception.
Some of his statements may seem little
queer to the party politician, especially
when he calls Cleveland "a man OF the
highest integrity and OF that common
sense which is akin TO genius" There are
also some peculiar statements in the chap
ter relating to the Spanish American war.
After abusing the Bryan platform vio-
lently as committed to the destruction
of liberty, the violation of contracts. and
ment." and ''full OF specous promises
and glittering fallacies," he goes on to say
that the conservative element triumphed
and the country was saved. But in spite
of its being saved, Mr. Grinnell says, the
country needed expansion, which was pro-
vided by the war land the said war was
violently opposed by the officials whose
accession to power had saved the coun-
try. What is more, the author frankly
states that the perverted politics of the
men in power caused 1.-THE greatest bust

Surgeon o,Re,lIy,s Malaria Cure.

Colonel O'Reilly of the army, sur
geon-in-chief at Fortress Monroe, has
been successful in his treatment of
soldiers who have returned from Cuba
and the Philippine Islands saturated
with malarial poison. Several officers
who suffered from fevers during the
Santiago campaign have had periodi-
cal returns of those complaints. They
como about once in three or four
months, each time with increasing
severity, but DIR. O'Reilly, with sim
pie treatment, has given most of them
permanent relief.
He takes drop of blood from one
ear of the patient, and if, under a
microscope, he discovers malarial
germs, he prescribes Fowler's solution
of arsenic in such doses as the micro
scopic examinations suggest, the
average being five drops three times
a day after each meal. If the eyes of
the patient water the dose is reduced.
After two weeks of this treatment the
blood is examined again and usually
found entirely free from malarial
germs. If not, the treatment is con-
tinued.-Chicago Record.

A clothing merchant in lower
Broadway had big lot OF suits of
clothes that he had bought at bar
gain, and by putting price of $l5 on
each he thought they would'sel1 rap
idly, for they were OF exceptionally
good value for that money. He put
one of the suits on form and set it
in front of his store with sign about
its neck which one OF his smart clerks
had painted on piece of cardboard.
This announced the price. Then he
and his clerks prepared to do rush-
ing business. e.
The hours passed AID no one came
in to buy the suits. This caused the
merchant to wonder, and at length he
determined to so out and take look
at the sample suit and the sign. This
is what he found on the sign: "These
suits, SIS. They won't last long"
Pedestrians passing by saw the sign
and smiled at it's fraukness. t
The merchant tore the sign from
the suit, and the clerk who designed
it started ont to look for another job.

Wire Nails and Old Nails.

Careful experiments made at Cor.
nell University are said to show that:
"First, cut nails are superior to wire
nails in all positions; second, the
main advantage of the wire nail is due
to its possessing sharp point; third,
if cut nails were pointed they would
be thirty per cent. more efficient in
direct tension; fourth, wire nails with
ont points have but one-half their or
dinary holding power; fifth, the sur
face Of the nail should be slightly
rough, but not barbed-barbing de-
creases the efficiency of cut nails
about thirty-two per cent" The
pointed end enables the nail to enter
wood without breaking its fibre ex-
cessively, thus preserving its grip.
A serious defect of wire nails is their
readiness to rust. They are made
generally of sort q soft steel; and
steel rusts more readily than some
other forms of iron. In some parts
of'the country, it is said. shingles put
on with wire nails drop off after six
OF eight years.-Baltimore Sun.

Children do not see the world as
men and women behold it. The flow.
ing integument that surrounds the
soul is as yet tender and translucent.
The light from beyond shines more
easily through its tilmy veil, and in
that light the things of nature are
melted into glamour such as older
eyes are too dim to perceive. The
world of childhood is newer and more
beautiful with life; the sun is more
radiant, the ether is more buoyant
than in the more sombre and the
darker world of after-life.
Heaven and earth. rs it were, touch
together, and just beyond the thin and
misty veil of separation spirits walk
and rustic, aud their whisperings
sometimes, haply, reach the tender
ear without its hearing to understand
the words.
The two spaces are but hands
breath apart, and it may easily be
but a step from one to the other. -

The Turning of the Leaves.

No pen can describe the turning of
the leaves-the insurrect.on OF the
tree-people against the waning year.
A little maple began it, flaming blood
red of a sudden where he stood against
the dark green of pine belt. Next
morning there was an answering signal
from the swamp where the sumacs
grow. Three days later the hill-sides
as far as the eye conld range were
atire, and the roads paved with Grim
son and gold. Then wet wind blew
and ruined all the uniforms of that
gorgeous army; and the oaks, who had
held themselves in reserve, buckled
on their dull and bronzed cuirasses
and stood out stifly to the last blown
leaf, till nothing remained but pencil
shading of bare boughs, and one
could see into the most private heart
Of the woods. .-Rudysrd Kipling, in
Harper's Magazine.

IMAGINARY ILLS,
Real Sickness Makes Its Presence Known
By Unmisfakable Signs.

By Unnistakable Signs. ..
1t is probably within bounds to say
that large proportion, if not fully
one-half, of the troubles which af.
fict mankind are wholly imaginary,
or at least greatly exaggerated. A
considerable part OF every physicians S
practice consists in the treatment of
minor ailments, and of diseases
which exists only in his patients i'm
agination.
If this were all, and the only result
of too much introspection and notice
of supposed symptoms were to in
crease the physicians income, there
would not be SO much to be said against
it. But unfortunately, imaginary dis
eases cause great deal OF suffering
as much as, if not more than, the
real troubles of which they are the
counterfeits.
There are few more wratched OBJ
jects than the confirmed hypochon-
drlac, whose days and nights are spent
in counting his pulse, looking at his
tongue, noticing every futter in his
chest or little she oting pain in his
head, and reading medical books and
the circulars of quacks.
Such man is perhaps more TO be
pitied than the victim of fatal disease;
for while he may live longer, his life is
barren of happiness as to he scarcely
worth the having.
There is almost no disease which
one who makes constant stuay of
every little unusual sensation cannot
imagine himself to have, but heart
disease is perhaps the one oftenest
simulated. 1t is so easy to count the
pulse and to imagine queer sensations
in the chest, and the rythm of the
heart-beats changes under the slight
est provocation, especially if there is
little indigestion, that nothing is
simpler than to imagine oneself the
subject of some serious disease of this
organ.
The habit is thus formed of watch
ing ones symptoms; and, once formed,
it is most difficult to overcome.
The best protection against the ac-
quiring such habit is education in
childhood. Parents should never ap-
pear solicitous, nor take notice of
every little ache or pain with which a
child runs to its mother. A sharp
stitch in the side does not always
mean pneumonia, nor stomach ache
appendicitis, and children should be
taught to disregard little discomforts.
If q child is given very slight sup
per and put to bed when it complains,
it will soon learn not to exaggerate
small ills.
Real sickness usually makes its
presence known by unmistakabe
signs, and there is slight danger that
6 manly disregard of minor ailments,
and refusal to be frightened by them,
will lead to the neglec. OF any really
serious results.

English orthography furnishes a clue
to "the superiority of the Anglo
Saxon" He is successful, the French
man says, because he is selfish, and a
proof of his selfshness is that he
writes of himself with capital 1.

with the small letter. The Spaniard

haven't long to live, and didn't think

ing insufficient.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The special dangers which beset our
than those which beset ourselves. The
latter are but pardonable Weaknesses,
we think, but the former are mortal
sius.
There is kind OF knowledge from
which many persons shrink. 1t is that
which involves certain duties and re-
sponsibilities that they are not willing
to accept.
Courteousness, courage and conf
dence should be united in every be-
lever; the gospel requires them and
provides for them.
Love is the wondrous angel of life
that rolls away all the stones of sor-
row and suffering from the pathway
of duty.
Nothing can bring you peace but
yourself. Nothing can bring you
peace but the triumph of principle.
Let us be of good cheer, remember
ing that the misfortunes hardest to
bear are those which never come.
The entire object of true education
is to make people not do the right
things, but enjoy the right things.
Four things come rot back-the
spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, the neglected opportunity.
Let us be content to work. To do
the thing we can, and not presume to
fret because it is little.
If there is any person whom you
dislike, that is the one of whom you
should never speak.
