How to stop Courhfnx.

Professor Lobenter, who is connected
with an institution in which there are
many children, says: There is nothing
more irritab BILE to cough than cough
ing. For some time had been so fully
assured of this that 1 determined for
one minute at least to lessen the num-
Der Of coughs heard in a certain ward
in hospital of the institution. By the
promise of rewards and punishments I
succeeded in inducing them to simply
hold their breath when tempted to
cough and in little while I was my
self surprised to see how some of the
children entirely recovered from the
disease. Constant coughing is precisely
like scratching a wound on the outside
of the body-so long as it is done the
wound will not heal. Let person when
tempted to cough draw long breath
and hold it until it warns and soothes
every air cell and some benefit will soon
be received from this process. The nj
trogen which is thus confined acts as
an anodyne to the mucous membrane,
allaying the desire to cough.-Popula

Next Solar ECLIPSE.

To determine the probable meteoro-
logical conditions likely to prevail along
the path of the total eclipse of the sun,
which will occur in the southern states
of America on May %, 1900. Professor
f. r. Bigelow obtained observations of
the state of the sky and other meteoro-
logical conditions along the path of to-
tally for the period from May 1 8 to
June 10 in the years 1897 and 1898.
The results for the former year have
already been referred to. and those for
the year 1898, containing reports from
81 stations. are given in the monthly
weather review for September. Last
years observations give precisely the
same result as was obtained in 1897
namely, the weather conditions in the
interior of Georgia and Alabama were
better than in Virginia. North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana, and it would be much safer
for the eclipse expeditions to locate
their stations in the northern portions
Of Georgia and Alabama, upon the
southern end Of the Appalachian noun
tains, where the track crosses the ele-
waited areas, than nearer the coast line
in either direction northeastward to-
ward the Atlantic coast or southeast
ward toward the gulf coast.

ROck-a-by, Baby.

Rocka-by, babyi On the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough bends, the cradle will fall
Down turnbles baby, cradle and all.
Rock-a-by, babyi The meadows in bloom;
Laugh at the sunbeams that dance in the room;
Echo the birds with their own baby tune
Coo in the sunshine and flowers of June.
Rock-a-by, babyl As softly it swings
Over the cradle the mother love sings;
Brooding of cooling at even dawn,
What will it do when the mother is gomez
Rock-a-by, baby! So cloudless the skies,
Blue the depths of your own laughing eyes;
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest
That tenderly sings little baby to rest.
Rock-a-by, babyi The blue eyes will dream
Sweetest when mammals eyes over them beam;
Never again will the world seem fair;
Sleep. little babyi There's cloud in the air.
Rock-a-by. babyi The blue eyes will burn
And ache with that your manhood will learn;
Swiftly the years come with sorrow and care,
WSth burdens the wee dimpled shoulders must
bear.
Rock-a-by, baby! There's coming day
Whose sorrows q mothers lips can't kiss away;
Days when its song will be changed to q moan,
Gross that baby must wear all alone.
Rock-a-by, baby! The meadows in bloom;
May never the froets pail the beauty in gloom
Be thy world ever bright as today it is seen,
Rock-a-by, babyi Thy cradle ia green.

Cane Cutter.

Mr.. A. Leblanc, the we'll known me-
chanical expert and former planter, has
had beautiful model constructed of
his patent cane cutting machine, de-
vice which has already attracted great
deal of attention. 1t is estimated that
it will cut. butt. thrash and top about
Is acres of cane a day, requiring only a
pair of mules, one man and two boys
to operate it. The machine, which is
exceedingly ingenious, consists of light
but substantial framework, at the front
of which is a revolving fan, which
pushes the cane at a proper angle
against cutter attached below. The
severed stalks are then conveyed on a
horizontal carrier to a series of thrash
ing knives, which remove the leaves.
after which they pass to the topping
wheel at the rear. The whole device is
very simple and strong and could hard
ly get out of order. It is drawn to and
fro across the field on a rope operated
by capstans on each side. Two mules
furnish abundant power.-New Orleans

The Sea.

The sea, the sea, the open sea,
The blue, the fresh, the ever free;
Without a mark. without bound.
1t runneth the earth's wide regions round;
It plays with the clouds, it mocks the Skies
Or like Graded creature lies
I'm on the sea, Pm the sea,
am where would ever be,
With the blue above and the blue below,
And silence wheresoe'er 1 go.
If storm should come and awake the deep,
What matter? shall ride and sleep.
/ love, o, how 1 love to ride
On the fierce, foaming, bursting tide,
Where every mad wave browns the moon,
And whistles aloft its tempest tune,
And tells how goeth the world below, f.,
And why the sou'west wind doth blow!
/ never the dull, tame shore
But 1 loved the great sea more and more,
And backward flew to her billowy breast,
Like bird that seeketh her mothers nest
And a mother she and is to me,
For / was born on the open
The waves were white, and red the morn,
In the noisy hour when 1 was born;
The whale it whistled, the porpoise rolled,
And the dolphins barred their backs of gold;
And never was heard such an outcry wild,
As welcomed to life the ocean child.
I have lived since then, in calm and strife,
Full fifty summers rover's life,
With wealth to spend, and power to range,
But never have sought sighed for change:
And death, whenever he comes to me,
Shall come on the wide, unbounded seal

jects to changing the rate table, and in

Idaho's Severe Nonam1iate Law.
South, West and East.
At the late annual communication OF
the grand lodge of Idaho the recon-
mendation of Grand Master Storer that
the nonaffiliation resolution requiring de-
NIT members to affiliate within six
months or be dismissed from the order be
repealed was not adopted. A resolution
was passed, however, requiring strict en-
forcement of the nonafhliation resolution.
1t is believed enforcement will result in
repeal of the resolution at the next SEES
sion Of the grand manifestations
From the earliest period Of which any

Nature Leads Us Gently.

~ a fond mother, when the day is Ger,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Haf willing, half reluctant to be led
And leave his broken playthngs the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which. though more splendid, may not please him
more,
30 Nature deals with US and takes away
Our playthings, one by one, and by the hand
Leads to rest gently that we go
Scarce knowing if we wished to go stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we
know.

The sovereign grand lodge, as usual,
began at the wrong end to curtail ex-
penSes.
The power to authorize the consolida-
ton of subordinate lodges and to arrange
the terms and conditions of such consoli-
dation is vested in subordinate grand
lodges, and such grand lodges possess
the power to issue under the circum-

solidated lodge, bearing such name and
number as the grand lodge shall deter
mine.

ELECTRICITY IN MANILA.


| How the Officers of Dewey's Fleet
| Are Kept Cool.
One of the first things noticed by
American naval officers in the city of
| Manila, says the ST. Louis PostDis-
patch, was the excellence of the street
lighting, which is fully up to the stand
ard of American cities. 1t seems that in
1895 an American firm made 20 years
contract with the municipal council for
the lighting of the city. 1t was to supply
40 2. 900 candle power arc lamps and
| 1000 20 candle power incandescent
lamps for $50; $50 (Mexican) per annum.
The contract provided that the lights
should burn every night. and all night
| i. e., from 30 minutes after sunset to 20
| minutes after sunrise. The city light
| ing covers all streets on both sides Of
| the Pasig river except a few in several
| native quarters of the town.
AS might be expected, the private
lighting service has grown largely and
includes, besides many arcs about 6, 900
incandescents. Some of the city resi-
dences have as many as 900 lights each.
Since the Americans took possession of
the city the electric light company has
been busy day and night. The barracks
selected for the troops had to be lighted.
and the churches, cock pits and Ego
downs" or warehouses appropriated
as quarters for the soldiers. had to be
wired and connected with the lighting
system. The Chinese merchants were
very quick to see the advantages Of hav-
ing flood of electric light in their
stores, and in one of the business quar-
tiers there are over 1900 incandescents
in space of about four blocks.
The agent of the electric company
happened to be in Yokohama when the
news came there that Dewey's fleet had
sailed from Hongkong for Manila. He
was at once applied to for electric fans
for the ships of the feet. and managed
to secure about 90 Subsequently he
bought back at handsome premium
90 more that he had just delivered to a
customer. and the whole consignment
was shipped Immediately to Manila,
where they were a godsend to officers
aboard ship, who had already begun to
experience the intense discomfort which
is inseparable from living in cramped
quarters in tropical climate.

GEMS IN VERSE.
OLD FAVORITES.
Fame.

Fame, like maynard girl, will still be coy
To those who WOO her with too slavish knees,
But make surrender to some thoughtiess boy
And dotes the more upon heart at ease.
She is a gypsy; will not speak to those
Who have not learned to be content without her;
A Tilt, whose ear never whispered close,
VINO thinks they scandal her who talk about
her.
A very gypsy is she, Nilus born,
Sister law to jealous Potiphar.
Ye lovesick bards, repay her scorn for scorn,
We artists lovelorn, madmen that ye are!
Make your best bow to her and bid adieu!
Then, if she likes It, she will follow you.

There Is a Land of Pure Delight

AncTe Is n Lana OF f>ure Dc11&nt.
There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures Danish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never whitening flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
Sweet fields beyond the swelling food
Stand dressed in living green;
30 to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While. Jordan rolled between.
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea
And linger, shivering, on the brink \
And fear to launch away.
Oh, could we make our doubts remove
Those gloomy doubts that rise
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes;
Could we but climb where Noses stood
And view the landscape Ger,
Not Jordan's stream nor deaths cold food
Should fright from the shore!

knowledge md wtsdom

knowledge and wisdom, far from being one,
Have Outlines connection. Knowledge dwells
In heads replete with thoughts of other men.
Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.
Knowledge-a rude, improbable mass,
The mere materials with which wisdom builds
Till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place
Does but cucumber whom it seems to enrich
knowledge is proud that he has learned SO much
Wisdom is humble that he knows more.
